Perle Skirvin grew up in an affluent family in Oklahoma City and was educated privately. In 1917 she married George Mesta, a wealthy Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, manufacturer. While he was working in Washington, D.C., during World War I, she had her first introduction to politics and Washington society. After the war the Mestas traveled extensively in Europe, and by the time of her husband's death in 1925 Perle Mesta had a large acquaintanceship in the worlds of business and politics.
In 1929 Mesta settled in Newport, Rhode Island, where she soon became a leading hostess. About 1935 she began to devote much time to active political work. She joined the abyss Best Light Green Buy Jumper Kiomi National Woman's Party and became an effective lobbyist on behalf of the Equal Rights Amendment; she was also chairman of the party's public relations committee for a time. In electoral politics Mesta supported the Republican Party until 1940 and the Democratic Party thereafter. About 1940 she moved her residence to Washington, D.C., and soon became one of the capital's foremost hostesses. She was an early patron of Senator Harry S. Truman and was greatly helpful to him in the elections of 1944 and, especially, 1948, when she served on the finance committee of the Democratic campaign. In 1949 Mesta became U.S. minister to Luxembourg. She was the first to hold the post, diplomatic relations with the duchy having previously been handled by the ambassador to Belgium. She served in the post until 1953.
Mesta's appointment inspired Irving Berlin's hit musical Call Me Madam, in which Ethel Merman starred (1950–52). During the 1950s Mesta remained Washington's premier hostess as the informal charm and gaiety of her entertaining attracted the cream of international society. The advent of a new social atmosphere with the Kennedy administration, however, started a decline in her influence. In 1960 she published Perle: My Story.

Adult smoking rate climbs in Minnesota
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — A new report shows that 19 percent of Minnesota adults still smoke.
The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report shows the state's ranking for adult smoking fell from 7th to 11th place among all states. The last time the CDC compared states was 2009.
State Commissioner of Health Edward Ehlinger says 11th isn't good enough for Minnesota. He says the cost of tobacco in terms of lives and about $2.8 billion in annual medical costs is too high.
Tobacco use continues to be the leading cause of preventable death in Minnesota and the U.S.
Gov. Mark Dayton has proposed a 94 cents-a-pack tax increase to deter smoking. Minnesota's cigarette excise tax ranks 28th among states.

A rematch of the best televised contest in recent memory featuring Daniel Bryan and CM Punk is on tap, and the season of looking and pointing at the Wrestlemania sign is now in full swing. Plus, the battle between Teddy Long and John Laurinaitis starts to get serious, bro.
Out comes World Heavyweight Champion Daniel Bryan and, in case you�ve forgotten about her, AJ, who seems to be standing by her man. As boos cascade, I must retract a statement from last Friday: Bryan continues to tout himself as a role model. He also vows to defeat Sheamus at Wrestlemania, and who do you think has something to say about that?
The Miz, surprisingly. Bryan�s former NXT mentor proclaims that he always knew Bryan would be a champion, and offers his congratulations and a suggestion that they team up in the future. Now Sheamus wants to have a word.
He swipes the mic from Miz�s hand and rips into Bryan�s integrity. Miz stands up for his new buddy, letting Bryan get in a slap before stealing away with AJ. During the ensuing break, Teddy Long sees two wrestlers in the ring together and knows what to do.
Match #1 � Sheamus vs. The Miz
Miz looks outmatched against the flying forearms and shoulder-blocks until he dodges a diving Sheamus, sending him shoulder-first into the ring-post. Miz works the arms and hits a double-axe handle off the top rope, but can�t finish his Skull-Crushing Finale; Sheamus counters with his apparently still-unnamed belly-to-back driver. Send ideas to WWE Creative.
Winner via pinfall: Sheamus
Backstage, Aksana is whispering sweet nothings into Long�s ears with her saxophone accompaniment, when John Laurinaitis and David Otunga step in (hey, where�s their instrumental cue?) and engage in a really nonsensical debate about bathrooms and dumpsters. Best comeback: Long says to Otunga �We�ll see about that, playa� ... Otunga hits back with �We will�. Burn.
Match #2 � Kofi Kingston & R-Truth vs. Jack Swagger and Dolph Ziggler (w/Vickie Guerrero)
Swagger Bomb early on gets a two-count on Truth, and Ziggler�s follow-up elbow drop makes him feel good enough to do some sit-ups. After a little roughhousing between all four, Ziggler finishes the match with a thumb to Kingston�s eye and a Zig-Zag.
Winners via pinfall: Jack Swagger & Dolph Ziggler
Backstage, Santino is training the Cobra, using it to peg plastic cups off of a table. Heath Slater stops by to knock all the cups off, and Santino reveals that this is a Spitting Cobra, spraying something in Slater�s eyes.
Match #3 � The Great Khali vs. Drew McIntyre
McIntyre�s losing streak is intact after a quick Punjabi Plunge.
Winner via pinfall: The Great Khali
Big Show is backstage, fuming over Cody Rhodes causing his elimination from the title picture on Monday. First, though, he�s focused on his old nemesis Mark Henry.
Match #4 � Big Show vs. Mark Henry
Henry dodges an early WMD knock-out punch, and drops Big Show with a clothesline. Henry keeps Big Show down for a while, but when Big Show gets up he responds with a spear. As he�s thinking Choke Slam, Cody Rhodes struts out and shows a clip of Big Show�s sumo match from Wrestlemania 21.
As Big Show turns back to Henry, he walks into a body slam and World's Gentlest Splash �- but it�s not enough for a three-count. Big Show pops up and lands a WMD, but goes after Rhodes instead of trying for a pinfall.
Match Result: No Contest (technically a count-out win for Henry)
The Raw Rebound is all about how The Undertaker has convinced Triple H to have another Wrestlemania match with all of the drama of a child asking for candy until the parent says �yes� just to shut them up.
Match #5 � David Otunga vs. Ezekial Jackson
We get to see Laurinaitis do the Teddy Long Shuffle ahead of this match. I�m becoming a fan. Jackson has a nice moment when he gives Otunga an Irish Whip by the throat, but Otunga gets the last word by escaping the Torture Rack and landing a large version of the Verdict.
Winner via pinfall: David Otunga
A Raw Rebound by any other name ... we see the antics between Eve and John Cena from last night. In the here and now, Matt Striker has a few words with CM Punk. As opposed to a few weeks ago, when Punk denied ever telling people how to live their lives, he makes a reference to his old Straight Edge Society before declaring that the best way to shut Bryan up is to beat him.
Match #6 � Daniel Bryan vs. CM Punk
There�s a lot of time left in the broadcast, so this one should get its due. Bryan slowly takes the hammer with a focus on Punk�s left arm, making it hard for Punk to mount any kind of comeback. His feet, however, are working fine, and Bryan ducks out of the ring for a respite.
Sheamus doesn�t approve, however, running down to throw Bryan back inside with a swift kick to the head awaiting, and Punk gets the win.
Or does he? Laurinaitis rushes out and re-starts the match due to the interference. Back from break, Bryan has recovered and gets a roll-up pin with his hand on the ropes. Guess what? Teddy Long comes out and re-starts the match again.
Punk drops Bryan over the top rope and then drives out after him. They�re back in the ring quickly, though, and Bryan delivers a devastating uppercut dropkick as Punk lays against the turnbuckles. Punk turns a LeBell Lock into a convincing catapult, but Bryan stops a Macho Elbow attempt and turns it into a superplex.
As they land on the mat, both champs tie the other up with each other�s shoulders down to the mat. The ref counts to three, but for whom?
Winner via pinfall: A World Champion
Both Long and Laurinaitis step into the ring and raise Punk and Bryan�s hands, respectively, while the ref has pulled a Houdini and leaves everyone in the dark as to the outcome.
Dave Hillhouse would like to consult the WWE rule book on the WMD; closed fist punches are illegal and cause for disqualification, aren�t they? Did Kerry Von Erich ever have to deal with that?

- Which article? Sage 12:25, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
I edited the "Orcs and Goblins" section heavily to remove unfounded comments about "goblins" being a Hobbitish term when it is, in fact, an English word. I also cut down on some unfounded claims in the "Controversy" section. Eldorion
There needs to be a serious section in this article about the culture and ethics of Orcs, and whether Orcs are ultimately free to choose good or evil. I've seen other wikis touch on this issue, but this article barely does. A lot of people (myself included) have never been thrilled about the whole "evil race" concept played completely straight.
As an entirely personal belief (not something I would expect to put in the article), I think Orcs have the ability to live as good Avari, and that it's the established traditions of Orc culture that inspire evil, and that Elves who do evil and ill-inspired acts (such as Fëanor and his sons along with Eöl and Maeglin) essentially make themselves Orcs, and that the difference of appearance between Elves and Orcs ("fair" vs. "ugly") is ultimately meaningless. The Silmarils knew the difference, and they burned evil and corruption when it touched them. I'm not sure Tolkien would completely disagree, as he once said, "We were all Orcs in the Great War." But I digress... - Gilgamesh 12:12, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
- I just (4/5/2011) summarized Letter 153 (a very long summary) for the Tolkien Gateway, wherein Tolkien dug very deeply into the metaphysics of Middle-earth. On the subject of Orcs, innate Free Will, their "evil race" status, and such, this letter probably gives Tolkien's "clearest" answers. -- Gamling 01:07, 6 April 2011 (UTC)
I just would like to ask an question in regards to the origin of the orcs. First off I have no preferance either way, be it men or elves, but I would like to raise the point of time. Men awoke at the rising of the sun, so wouldn't this then pose a problem for Melkor when he made the orcs in the first war in Beleriand, for the sake of the elves.? Unless he can time shift and or travel. So then we are left with a rather interesting situation, any thoughts? —Unsigned comment by GaiusMarius (talk • contribs).
- Sorry, you've lost me? Do you mean that as Melkor created orcs in opposition to elves he had no "opposite" to men? --Mith (Talk/Contribs/Edits) 14:09, 6 April 2011 (UTC)
- This is not an issue. In Morgoth's Ring, Myths Transformed (where Tolkien writes at length concerning the cosmology of Arda, and the origins of Orcs), Tolkien shifts the timeline to move the awakening of Men to be not long after that of Elves - during the Great March. This is actually done for other reasons, but serves to enable Men as a legitimate source for Orcs. Sorry for being anon, but I don't feel like signing up for an account. Find me as Túrin at lotrplaza.com if you want. —Unsigned comment by 18.104.22.168 (talk).
- Sorry, but this is still a GREAT issue, not resolved by just simply changing the timeline. If men awoke at such an early time, it makes no sense that when the Noldor returned to Middle-Earth, Beleriand wasn't full of human kingdoms already, and that men had such a primitive culture. The episode of Finrod being the first Noldo to befriend men would make no sense, for example, neither his special bond with Beor's house (with all the consequences that would have in later tales). A major reworking of the legends would be needed just to fit this version of the origin of the orcs.
Etymology and Names
JRRT notes the Nandorin word for orcs in PE17 (p. 54) ūriƒ. However, I'm uncertain about how to the render the last letter in the word - the original form of the letter is similar, but does not carry the small horizontal line. Is this a letter of its own, or merely a variant rendering of ƒ? --Morgan 01:24, 3 July 2011 (UTC)
- There is the "long s" ſ (and the similar Esh ʃ). Do these seem likely? --Mith (Talk/Contribs/Edits) 09:41, 3 July 2011 (UTC)
- Many thanks, Mith! It's the Esh (ʃ) - could you please add it to the insert box? --Morgan 09:43, 3 July 2011 (UTC)
Orc - Rohirric or Westron
Quote: "This spelling was taken from Old English. The word seemed, in itself, very suitable to the creatures that I had in mind. But the Old English orc in meaning - so far as that is known - is not suitable. Also the spelling of what, in the later more organized linguistic situation, must have been a Common Speech form of a word or group of similar words should be ork."
Quote: "Orc. This is supposed to be the Common Speech name of these creatures at that time; it should therefore according to the system be translated into English, or the language of translation. It was translated 'goblin' in The Hobbit, except in one place; but this word, and other words of similar sense in other European languages (as far as I know), are not really suitable. The orc in The Lord of the Rings and The Silmarillion, though of course partly made out of traditional features, is not really comparable in supposed origin, functions, and relation to the Elves. In any case orc seemed to me, and seems, in sound a good name for these creatures. It should be retained."
Orc, or rather, the spelling of Orc is FROM Old English in reality, and the word itself was Westron in Middle-earth, NOT Rohirric, so I conclude.
It´s not like the other OE-for-Rohirric words in the LotR. Tolkien just retained this word from Westron, and where he did translate this 3rd age word, he translated it into Modern English.--SUM EGO 06:37, 23 November 2011 (UTC)
- I just found the quote for orc being (also?) Rohirric, "Orc is the form of the name that other races had for this foul people as it was in the language of Rohan."
- I undid my previous edit, and I'm sorry for it, but still I think the Orcs and Goblins section need to be improved.--SUM EGO 07:25, 23 November 2011 (UTC)
- OK, good.-- KingAragorn talk contribs edits email 13:01, 23 November 2011 (UTC)
Seems like I have to put more source to support my argument.
"Orc is not an English word. It occurs in one or two places but is usually translated goblin ... Orc is the hobbits' form of the name given at that time to these creatures, and it is not connected at all with our orc, ork..." --- The Hobbit
Still no one try to rewrite the Orcs and Goblins section?

Since the Gongs have their own article, could it be possible to change the redirect link on Gong to lead to that page, instead? Bauglir100 12:50, 11 October 2012 (UTC)

After the 9/11 terrorist attacks, Acuity Insurance in Sheboygan, Wisconsin wanted to erect an oversized symbol of freedom. They settled on an 80 ft. flagpole. Gradually they went higher, first up to 150 ft., then up to 199 ft, – a pole that toppled in a 2004 windstorm. So they erected a 338 ft. pole in 2007, then again in 2008. But due to buckling and swaying, they had to dismantle both. Instead of giving up, Acuity resolved to make the tallest flagpole in North America – and engineered it to last for 50 years.
"The goal here is inspiration."
Ben Salzmann, President and CEO, Acuity Insurance
No kidding. In fact, it can rain inside this flagpole on a sunny day. But the most important atmosphere the flagpole creates is the one of reverence and awe that surrounds it when citizens, especially veterans, come to visit. And it isn't just the giant flag and pole. At the flagpole's base lies a patio made of bricks, each one honoring a Sheboygan County resident killed in active duty.

"This pole is so over-engineered, and so well-built, I don't think we're going to have an issue."
Tom Jordan, Owner, U.S. Flag & Flagpole Supply, L.P.
"This pole is so over-engineered, and so well-built, I don't think we're going to have an issue."
Tom Jordan, Owner, U.S. Flag & Flagpole Supply, L.P.
Which mill was the steel from?
The steel for the Acuity flagpole was proudly manufactured right here at Nucor Steel in Hertford County, North Carolina.
What kind of steel is the pole made of?
High strength low alloy steel plate. Plate is the only kind of steel that we make here at Nucor Steel Hertford County.
Who was your distributor?
Our distributor for this project was Leeco Steel, based in Lisle, Illinois. We do a lot of work with them because they like the type of plate we provide.
And the fabricator?
Broadwind Energy out of Cicero, Illinois. They primarily make wind towers, so this project was right up their alley.
Why do you think Broadwind chose Nucor steel for the flagpole?
We make a high quality plate product that has good surface quality, which lends itself to fabricating these large flagpole sections. It also takes high gloss paint well. Also, they wanted more than 350 tons of plate from one source. We were able to provide that.
Did this project have special significance for Nucor?
It was interesting to see the flagpole go up and to be a part of it. Nucor promotes 'buy America' - we always try to buy equipment that is American made. Seeing a company like Acuity promoting America, in the heartland, is very encouraging. It's something to be proud of.
The huge flagpole is unquestionably a tourist draw. But a brick paver patio at the pole's base, featuring the names of Sheboygan County residents killed in active duty, will remind visitors young and old of the sacrifices our flag represents. One visitor, a trumpet player named Jerry Kolb, drove all the way up from Kansas to play taps at the landmark. As Jerry put it, "It's my way of giving back."
"We couldn't have hoped for a better response from the general public."

Jaguar has issued the first teaser photo of the new XFR-S, which is set to be the hottest model in the XF range. The new car will be shown in full at the Los Angeles International auto show this week.
The XF has consistently impressed since it first appeared in 2008, but initially had a hard job fighting German rivals such as the Mercedes E-Class and BMW 5 Series because it was available only with a much more limited range of drive-train and body options.
Now the XF has a mid-life re-style under its belt and there's a much wider choice of engines, including four-cylinder diesels.
A new estate - badged Sportbrake - has been added to the range and there's also the option of four-wheel drive and a small turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine in some markets.
The existing performance model in the XF range, the XFR, has won plenty of good reviews, but a harder-edged XFR-S should make it easier for the XF to take on BMW's M-cars and Mercedes' AMG models.

By coating glass fibers with lead telluride nanocrystals, chemical engineers have made flexible thermoelectric devices that could one day capture waste heat and turn it into electricity (Nano Lett., DOI: 10.1021/nl300524j). Though preliminary, the work could lead to wrappings for pipes in power plants and car engines that improve energy efficiency.
Thermoelectric materials convert temperature differences into electricity. Today's thermoelectric products are typically rigid and brittle. They consist of lead telluride or bismuth telluride crystals, or can be made by pressing powders of those materials into disks. To make devices, the crystal or disk is then carved into tiny pillars, an inefficient process that requires lots of the expensive material.
Purdue University's Yue Wu and colleagues wanted to make flexible devices that could more easily conform to the irregular shapes of engines and exhaust pipes. So they coated inexpensive, bendable glass fibers with a thin layer of PbTe nanocrystals.
The researchers first suspended the nanocrystals in an organic solvent to make an ink. Then they repeatedly dipped the fibers into the ink to give them a 300-nm-thick nanocrystal coating. The researchers found that the fibers have a thermoelectric efficiency (ZT value) of more than 0.7 at 400 K, close to the 0.8 for PbTe crystals.
Compared with conventional thermoelectrics, Wu says, his materials exhibit "the same performance with much less material and lower cost. Our approach is straightforward and scalable."
Before the researchers can test the fibers' heat-harvesting capability in a car engine, they need to make their coatings more bendable: The current versions develop tiny cracks when bent significantly, though the cracks reseal when pressure on them releases.

Looking for a way to reduce heart disease risk or improve brain function? Exercise is the answer, according to two recent studies that add to the list of exercise's health benefits, showing that workouts are good for improving more than just physiques.
Last month, a study showed that aerobic exercise might be the best way to reduce the risk of heart disease, but a new study from the Harvard University School of Public Health says that even 150 minutes of moderate exercise per week can reduce the risk of heart disease by almost 15 percent.
The benefits increased as the amount of exercise increased; 300 minutes per week reduced their risk by 20 percent, and 750 minutes of moderate activity made participants 25 percent less likely to suffer from heart disease. But researchers noted that the benefits were greater for people who had done little exercise and increased slightly than for people who already exercised a lot and increased their exercise time.
"The biggest bang for your buck is at the lower ends of physical activity," says lead study author Jacob Sattelmair. "If you went from none to 2.5 hours a week, the relative benefit is more than if you went from, say, 5 to 7.5 hours a week."
In the study published in this month's Circulation journal, researchers reviewed the findings of 33 studies examining the benefits of exercise. Their analysis revealed a few other interesting points. Women in the studies tended to benefit more from exercise than men, and any physical activity helped improve health, supporting the 2008 Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans' statement that some activity is better than none.
Another study further extols the benefits of exercise, specifically its ability to prevent brain infection and memory loss. Researchers at the University of Colorado found that small amounts of exercise can prevent memory loss after an illness or disease by preventing infection. Ruth Barrientons, lead researcher, says that this is because exercise increases growth factors and aids in memory formation.
The study focused on rats, so the results are not necessarily conclusive for humans, but the findings could be particularly useful as a non-invasive way to help people recovering from illnesses. The positive results researchers saw on older rats' health also suggests that older adults can benefit from even moderate physical activity, which is encouraging to those who might be hesitant to work out due to years of inactivity or age.

Wednesday Recruitin'
As always, you can see all the updates on the 2010 Michigan Recruiting Board.
Officially Visitin'
The Penn State game had been built up (at least in my mind) as a pretty big visit weekend, but it's cooled off a bit, and the November 21st weekend, when the Wolverines play Some Team from South of Here, should be the blockbuster weekend now. Still, there are a couple noticeable visitors for this Saturday.
OH TE Alex Smith, a longtime Cincinnati commit who has been considering Michigan for a while, will make his long-awaited trip to Ann Arbor this weekend. His school, Lakota West, also has a number of other D-1 prospects, including OH LB Alex Smith, but none of them are considering Michigan.
PA DT Sharrif Floyd's on-again, off-again visit to Ann Arbor this weekend appears to be off-again. He won't take any more visits until his high school season is completed. Er... since then, he's said that Ohio State will be his destination this week, and any report of Michigan interest is "just a rumor." That sounds... discouraging. Floyd is also excited to prove himself at the Army AA Bowl.
MN OL Seantrel Henderson is in a similar situation, with his Michigan visit for this weekend shrouded in mystery.
CA S Dietrich Riley enjoyed his Notre Dame visit (as did his buddy, CA CB Josh Shaw), and a Michigan visit doesn't seem to be set in stone, as it was earlier in the process. Also, local Riley fluff. Dietrich Riley picture by Keith Birmingham for the Pasadena Star-News.
GA DT Michael Thornton may take an official visit at a later date.
SC CB John Fulton will apparently visit Michigan November 28th, the week after the season ends. Something tells me that's not accurate, since there's no need to do it that soon after the season, especially with the basketball team out of town. I'd guess that visit is actually for the OSU game a week prior.
Still Seeking Linebackers
Josh Helmholdt shares in the Free Press that a couple new linebackers have entered Michigan's radar. FL LBs Jeremiah George and Greg Hickman have been hearing from the Wolverines, and both are supposedly true MLB types. Also from the article, the Wolverines are taking a look at MI LB Michael Kinville from Detroit Catholic Central, the alma mater of Mike Martin. All three of those gentlemen will be added to the board.
Meanwhile, OH LB Jewone Snow visits Morgantown, no Michigan mention (grumble grumble).
Though he maintains an official top 5 of Michigan, West Virginia, UCLA, Ohio State, and Pitt, ESPN certainly gives the vibe that the Wolverines and the Mountaineers are the only two teams remaining for PA CB Cullen Christian. He has plenty of nice things to say about Michigan:
On the flip side, Rodriguez and Christian maintain regular contact, Christian said. "I talk to him all the time. He tells me they really want me. I'm No. 1 on their board. He tells me I'll fit right in. He tells me that all the time -- trying to get it stuck in my head."
Christian has been talking with people close to the Michigan program about exactly what it's like to play for Rodriguez, in Ann Arbor. "He seems like a cool dude to me," Christian said. "He was real laid back."
But from what Christian has been told by those who are already in the program at UM, Rodriguez's laid back vibe from the recruiting trail can change. "What everybody's telling me, he's real intense when you get up there. The intense one up there is [strength and conditioning coach] Mike Barwis. He's intense all the time," said Christian.
He says some nice things about West Virginia as well, but nothing as positive as the Michigan portion. He still plan a visit for the OSU game and a decision immediately thereafter.
As for Christian's teammate, PA S/WR Brandon Ifill, the list has been narrowed to Pitt and Maryland. Michigan isn't going to get Ifill, and the Penn Hills duo will probably go to different schools. I've removed Ifill from the recruiting board, although his final decision won't come for a couple months.
MI LB Lawrence Thomas is considered a heavy MSU lean, but Michigan was his childhood favorite:
"Michigan meant a lot to me when I was growing up," Thomas said. "When I was young I saw them in all the bowls, so they were one of those dream schools."
They may be able to work that angle to good results. Thomas has also gotten bigtime, scoring offers from the like of Florida, Oklahoma, and Penn State. He won't make a decision until his senior season, which is still a year away.
In other "2011 Instate recruits blowin' up" news, MI WR DeAnthony Arnett has garnered offers from Oregon and LSU, with Oklahoma likely on the way. Also from that article, MI WR Kenny Knight is apparently getting Michigan interest. I've been looking for information on the kid for a looooong time, and this is officially the first recruiting news I've seen on him.
While we're on the topic, the 2011 Recruiting Board should debut a little bit later this week. Stay tuned.
EDIT:OR RIGHT NOW. 2011 Michigan Football Recruiting Board.
VA LB Aramide Olaniyan is still "in touch" with Clemson. Local recruiting fluff on OH OL Skyler Schofner, who sounds like he's not considering the Wolverines anymore. Might MI WR commit Ricardo Miller visit UCLA with FL WR Kenny Shaw? I'd be surprised.

CO is a colorless, odorless gas made when fuel burns. Fuels include wood, gasoline, coal, natural gas, or kerosene. Breathing in carbon monoxide fumes prevents the body from using oxygen properly, which can harm the brain, heart, and other organs. People with health problems, such as heart and lung disease, are at greater risk for harm. Infants, children, pregnant women, and older adults are also at greater risk.
Most carbon monoxide exposures happen in the winter. The most common source of CO poisoning is unvented space heaters in the home. An unvented space heater uses combustible fuel and indoor air for the heating process. It vents the gases it makes into the room, instead of outdoors. A space heater that is not installed right or not working properly can release carbon monoxide and other toxic fumes into the room and use up much of the oxygen in the room.
Most space heaters use kerosene or natural gas for fuel. Newer models have oxygen sensors that shut off the heater when the oxygen level in the room falls below a certain level. Older models do not have this safety feature. Because of these safety problems, some states ban unvented space heaters.
Other common sources of carbon monoxide include the following:
These are the most common symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning:
The symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning may look like other medical conditions or problems, including the flu or food poisoning. Always see your healthcare provider for a diagnosis.
If your child or other family members have any symptoms of CO poisoning, stay calm but act quickly:
Your healthcare provider will determine further treatment for carbon monoxide exposure. Emergency medical treatment may include oxygen therapy.
Important steps to protect against carbon monoxide poisoning include:
Seek medical attention right away if you think you or a member of your family has carbon monoxide poisoning.
Tips to help you get the most from a visit to your healthcare provider:

ARSENAL manager Arsene Wenger has hit out at what he claims are unsubstantiated "lies" aimed at unsettling his team.
The Gunners boss made the comments in an animated press conference ahead of tonight's Champions League showdown with Bayern Munich at the Emirates and just a few days after they crashed out of the FA Cup at home to npower Championship side, Blackburn.
Reports yesterday suggested that despite Arsenal facing up to what could be an eighth season without a trophy, negotiations had already started with Wenger over a new deal, with his current one set to expire in the summer of 2014.
However, Wenger, 63, went on the offensive at his pre-match media briefing this, looking to set the record straight in what at times were heated exchanges with journalists.
"I have been here for 16 years, I deserve at least that you check information with me before you write it," the Arsenal manager told reporters in an off-camera session.
"Why does it (contract story) just come out when we lose a big game? You think I am so naive that I don't see what is behind that? You think I am a complete idiot?
"The lie is targeted to hurt.
"It is easy to say people are not happy and on top of that say 'he is extending the contract', that is what I mean. It is the intention behind the lie."
Wenger, however, insists he does not feel there is a growing agenda against him.
"I don't take it personally. I am not a conspiracy theorist. I am 30 years in this job and if I was paranoid, you would know it already," he added.
"I just think that when I worked for 16 years in the country I expect a certain respect.
"You can criticise me and say I am doing a bad job, but manipulative things, when they are wrong, I don't accept."
Wenger had wasted little time in knocking down questions about the decline of his team when addressing this afternoon's official UEFA media conference at the training ground - at one point singling out a reporter and directly asking if he had "given this information out".
When pressed on the Champions League now being Arsenal's only hope of ending their long trophy drought, he sarcastically replied: "No, no. I want to lose it, to lose the game tomorrow so you can all be happy."
Wenger, however, accepts any claims a team humbled by Blackburn, and also dumped out of the Capital One Cup by npower League Two Bradford before Christmas, cannot yet be heralded as potential kings of Europe.
"If I say to you 'we will win it this season' you will laugh at me because we just lost against Blackburn, but it can happen. Unfortunately in football, it is less predictable than that," he said.
"In Europe, we have beaten everybody, which is what people forget, and also we are the only team that has gone into a (Champions League) final without conceding a goal.
"Chelsea last season is a good inspiration for us, to show the same resilience and hope, because sometimes the luck goes your way when you have that resilience."

While searching for a good linux os to use instead of Ubuntu (nothing personal, just not a huge fan of the popular os's or Ubuntu's gui) I happen to stumble upon a a magical Ubuntu derivative named Pinguy OS. This os is simply Ubuntu with a crap load (~800 mb to be precise) of new apps, a new theme, a global dock, and such. The gui is amazingly amazing imo it's very clean cut. Anywho, i'm currently using it on my laptop and couldn't be much happier... The os is pretty unknown atm hence the need of this thread, so I thought I would share. Information below!

Imsanity automatically resizes huge image uploads down to a size that is
more reasonable for display in browser, yet still more than large enough for typical website use.
The plugin is configurable with a max width, height and quality. When a contributor uploads an
image that is larger than the configured size, Imsanity will automatically scale it down to the
configured size and replace the original image.
Imsanity also provides a bulk-resize feature to selectively resize previously uploaded images
to free up disk space.
This plugin is ideal for blogs that do not require hi-resolution original images
to be stored and/or the contributors don't want (or understand how) to scale images
before uploading.
- Automatically scales large image uploads to a more "sane" size
- Bulk-resize feature to selectively resize existing images
- Allows configuration of max width/height and jpg quality
- Optionally converts BMP files to JPG so image can be scaled
- Once enabled, Imsanity requires no actions on the part of the user
- Uses WordPress built-in image scaling functions
Imsanity is available in several languages, each of which will be downloaded automatically when you install the plugin. To help translate it into your language, visit https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/imsanity
Automatische installatie:
- Go to Admin -> Plugins -> Add New and search for "imsanity"
- Click the Install Button
- Klik 'Activeer'
Handmatige installatie:
- Download imsanity.zip
- Unzip and upload the 'imsanity' folder to your '/wp-content/plugins/' directory
- Activeer de plugin via het 'Plugins' menu in WordPress
- Wat is Imsanity?
Imsanity is a plugin that automatically resizes uploaded images that are larger than the configured max width/height
- 1. Will installing the Imsanity plugin alter existing images in my blog?
Activating Imsanity will not alter any existing images. Imsanity resizes images as they are uploaded so
it does not affect existing images unless you specifically use the "Bulk Image Resize" feature on
the Imsanity settings page. The "Bulk Image Resize" feature allows you to selectively resize existing images.
- 2. Why aren't all of my images detected when I try to use the bulk resize feature?
Imsanity doesn't search your file system to find large files, instead it looks at the "metadata"
in the WordPress media library database. To override this behavior, enable deep scanning.
- 3. Why am I getting an error saying that my "File is not an image" ?
WordPress uses the GD library to handle the image manipulation. GD can be installed and configured to support
various types of images. If GD is not configured to handle a particular image type then you will get
this message when you try to upload it. For more info see http://php.net/manual/en/image.installation.php
- 4. How can I tell Imsanity to ignore a certain image so I can upload it without being resized?
You can re-name your file and add "-noresize" to the filename. For example if your file is named
"photo.jpg" you can rename it "photo-noresize.jpg" and Imsanity will ignore it, allowing you
to upload the full-sized image.
Optionally you can temporarily adjust the max image size settings and set them to a number that is
higher than the resolution of the image you wish to upload
- 5. Why would I need this plugin?
Photos taken on any modern camera and even most cellphones are too large for display full-size in a browser.
In the case of modern DSLR cameras, the image sizes are intended for high-quality printing and are ridiculously
over-sized for display on a web page.
Imsanity allows you to set a sanity limit so that all uploaded images will be constrained
to a reasonable size which is still more than large enough for the needs of a typical website.
Imsanity hooks into WordPress immediately after the image upload, but before WordPress processing
occurs. So WordPress behaves exactly the same in all ways, except it will be as if the contributor
had scaled their image to a reasonable size before uploading.
The size limit that imsanity uses is configurable. The default value is large enough to fill
the average vistors entire screen without scaling so it is still more than large enough for
typical usage.
- 6. Why would I NOT want to use this plugin?
You might not want to use Imsanity if you use WordPress as a stock art download
site, provide high-res images for print or use WordPress as a high-res photo
storage archive. If you are doing any of these things then most likely
you already have a good understanding of image resolution.
- 7. Doesn't WordPress already automatically scale images?
When an image is uploaded WordPress keeps the original and, depending on the size of the original,
will create up to 4 smaller sized copies of the file (Large, Medium-Large, Medium, Thumbnail) which are intended
for embedding on your pages. Unless you have special photographic needs, the original usually sits
there unused, but taking up disk quota.
- 8. Why did you spell Insanity wrong?
Imsanity is short for "Image Sanity Limit". A sanity limit is a term for limiting something down to
a size or value that is reasonable.
- 9. Where do I go for support?
Questions may be posted on the support forum at https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/imsanity but if you don't get an answer, please use https://ewww.io/contact-us/.
Highly recommended

Today's selection from Luke's Gospel continues the narrative begun last Sunday. The setting is the synagogue at Nazareth. Jesus has read passages from the book of Isaiah concerning the anointed prophet of God and declared that "today" this passage was being fulfilled in him. The second part of the narrative continues the theme of prophetic succession raised in the first part, and adds two important elements to Luke's programmatic preface to Jesus' public ministry: prophets often suffer opposition from their own people (the rejected prophet), and Jesus stands in the tradition of the prophets Elijah and Elisha (who ministered to non-Jews also).
According to Luke, Jesus is the prophet of God par excellence. The Holy Spirit dwells in him and acts through him. Yet the reception given to Jesus by the people of his home area turns from initial curiosity and mild enthusiasm to hostility and violence. The problem may well have been the people's feeling that Jesus was not doing enough healings and other miracles in Nazareth. They may have wanted to keep Jesus for themselves and benefit more from his powers.
As the reading from Jeremiah 1 shows, prophets are seldom popular. Prophets tell hard truths and make people confront unpleasant realities. Prophets do not hire pollsters or commission focus groups. Their power and authority come from God, not from popular opinion. It is generally true that real prophets seldom find acceptance among their own. This proverb was true of Jeremiah in Jerusalem and of Jesus in Nazareth.
Jesus also stands in line with the prophets Elijah and Elisha. Their prophetic ministries prefigured the prophetic ministry of Jesus in many respects. Those two prophets from the ninth and eighth centuries B.C. taught through parables and symbolic actions, healed the sick and restored dead persons to life, and they suffered rejection and persecution for proclaiming God's will and judgment. Moreover, as Jesus' two examples from 1 Kings 17 and 2 Kings 5 show, Elijah and Elisha worked miracles for persons from outside their home areas and even outside the boundaries of Israel. Their ministry to non-Jews prefigures the spread of the Gospel outside the land of Israel, which is described by Luke in his Acts of the Apostles.
Paul's celebration of love in 1 Corinthians 13 is one of the most beautiful and inspiring passages in the Bible. The original context for Paul's instruction about love was a young Christian community divided within itself and bickering about spiritual gifts. In that context Paul insisted that love is the most important spiritual gift and that all such gifts must be practiced in love. He also affirmed that genuine love sincerely seeks the good of others and is something that we give more than something we are entitled to receive. And Paul promises that when all our achievements and possessions pass away, love will abide in our eternal life with God as the greatest gift of all.

Grichuk gives Cards big bat, options in center
ST. LOUIS -- As they sought a spark for the offense, the Cardinals had their choice of three outfield prospects and another outfielder, Joey Butler, who is off to an even hotter start than any of those three.

ST. LOUIS -- As they sought a spark for the offense, the Cardinals had their choice of three outfield prospects and another outfielder, Joey Butler, who is off to an even hotter start than any of those three.
It was Randal Grichuk's readiness to play center field that ultimately gave him the edge.View Full Game Coverage
Grichuk, 22, joined the Cardinals on Monday, receiving a locker alongside Peter Bourjos, who was also in the November trade that brought Grichuk into the organization, and getting jersey No. 15, which once belonged to standout Cardinals center fielder Jim Edmonds. It just so happens to also be Grichuk's favorite number.
"Jim wore it well," Grichuk said, grinning. "It's a dream come true. I'm speechless right now. All the emotions are sinking in right now."
The Cardinals hope Grichuk can wear it well too, though the organization made this move more focused on the immediate than the long-term. The club wanted to improve its bench -- Grichuk was batting .310/.351/.529 through 21 Triple-A games with a .400 average against lefties -- while also giving manager Mike Matheny another center field option.
Monday's starting center fielder was Jon Jay, who is expected to continue to get regular starts. The right-handed-hitting Grichuk can be a complement to the left-handed-hitting Jay, though that could also come at the expense of playing time for Bourjos, who is stuck in an 0-for-15 rut.
"I don't think we're really hemmed in to do one thing or another, realizing that if the playing time doesn't come over the long haul, or even in the shorter term, we can make the adjustments as necessary," Matheny said. "But right now we're in a situation where we have to win games. We have to figure out who can step in and help us out right now. And Randal seemed like the right fit."
If, after some time, the Cardinals feel that Grichuk's growth is being stunted by limited playing opportunities with the big league club, the organization will send him back to the Minors to play every day. In other words, the organization sees continued fluidity with that roster spot.
"What he was doing down in Memphis was hitting the ball hard and often, and that's a good quality," general manager John Mozeliak said. "I would imagine he will get some time, but given the flexibility we have in someone like him, even if it is for just a few weeks, that gives us a chance to change sort of the elements of our club and just see how things work out. I think when you make these moves, you're looking at it more as a short-term view than necessarily the long-term. Ultimately, we'll just see how this works out."
Grichuk is coming off a Double-A season in which he hit 27 doubles and 22 homers for the Angels' affiliate. He also won a Minor League Gold Glove for his defensive efforts in 2013. Improved plate discipline has been among his primary focuses since joining the Cardinals' organization.
"At first, I didn't really know what to expect," Grichuk said of joining a new organization. "But realizing that if a team trades you, they have interest in you and want you. It was a new opportunity with new eyes on me."

Sean Robertson contributes this #blog4nwp post to the Coöp.
Suppose a penman inquired about a blacksmith. Hailing from letters and words the penman
would be hard pressed to understand subtleties involved in smelting. Likewise the blacksmith
lacks the allusions to devise an analysis of literature. Somewhere between lies a crux, a middle
ground. This vacancy lends and borrows, burrows and fills with purpose. No vacancy. Writing
checks in.
Perhaps it is a vehicle of wrath in my case.
Often writing is a medium to vent my spleen. Whether it is existential dread or test anxiety,
given enough heat I can pound my thoughts in to shape. Specifically creative writing provides
a sort of freedom a music class only hints at. Yes. Solos do exist. Musicians in Jazz band write
the solos themselves. But in a "music class" situation a key must be followed. A time must be
kept. Interacting with other musicians requires common points of reference; this tune feels this
way and that one that way. Creative writing allows for individual exploration. Students embark.
Conventions fight for attention. Eccentricities come to the fore. They reflect and embellish.
Recent events can be reconstructed through different lenses. Destruction can equal creation
similar to molten metal creating solid steel. Granted the privacy of the written word individuals
traverse the more than "the known universe".
Self-discovery is a powerful thing.
Steinbeck compiled and expanded upon his experiences to draft his vision of the struggles of
man in a capitalist society. His writing allowed him to reach into dark places of his psyche
and confront the catalysts of their being. Man despite his efforts ultimately returns to the
socioeconomic class of his forbearers. Such epiphanies have led to great works of literature.
Exploration is the driving force behind the entrepreneurs of the world. They scavenge and wrack
for the unknown, so then should students be allowed the same opportunity.
Within their own minds volumes of imagination reside.
Surely other expressions can be more evocative of emotions over a broader range of people.
Patrons habitually credit painters for conveying complex themes effectively through a visual
medium. Sports more successfully portray the wonders of the human body to the masses. An
essay is considerably more constricted than a painting in symbolic speech. Yet writing can
encompass almost all senses (scratch'n'sniff excluded) with the right adjectives and depict
motion with the right "verbage". Languages contort and twist in ways even the most limber of
gymnasts would not dare. Creative writing allows the mind to wander for the sake of wandering.
Sounds dangerous.

Detroit Event Draws Crowdby Tom Runge • April 21, 2012 Share:
Thursday, April 19, 2012. A great crowd joined Vice President and Treasurer of General Motors, Trustee Jim Davlin '85, and President and Mrs. Pat White at the incredible GM Heritage Center in Sterling Heights, Michigan.
Our largest crowd ever for a Detroit event had the opportunity to walk among over 150 priceless vehicles from a 1969 Corvair with 40.8 miles on it to a 1953 Corvette to a 1911 Oldsmobile to a 1938 concept car at least 20 years ahead of its time.
The event was organized by Jim Davlin and Alumni Board member Terry Hamilton '89 – a great time was had by all. Two other Trustees made the trip form Indianapolis to attend the event – Mac McNaught '83 and Kelly Pfledderer '96. Kelly was joined by his lovely wife Jennifer Jones. Also attending was the Wabash Alumni Board Vice President Greg Estell '85.
After the reception and dinner, Jim Davlin introduced President Pat White for remarks. Pat provided a thorough update on the College included the past year's athletics performance by Wabash teams, the life-changing experiences our young men undergo starting on Freshman Saturday, and the Challenge of Excellence campaign status.
Many attendees stayed after the formal portion to get one more look at 100 years of General Motors history.
Many thanks to Terry Hamilton '89 and Jim Davlin '85 for a superb evening.

SUNY Oswego President Deborah Stanley, in a statement issued Tuesday afternoon, praised the response of the Oswego police and fire departments to heroin overdoses over the weekend that left one student dead and hospitalized two students.
Stanley also said, "it is time for a new approach to the Bridge Street Run," the traditional pub crawl in Oswego to celebrate the end of the SUNY Oswego school year, which was going on when the overdoses occurred.
In her statement, Stanley noted that heroin use is a growing problem nationally that has "recently intruded into our community with tragic results. SUNY Oswego has lost lives to this scourge, a terrible bill to pay."
Stanley said that the arrests of two men in the case announced today are a positive step, and pledged that the university will work with the community to deal with the problem of drug abuse. One of the men arrested, Gabriel Gonzalez, is a student at SUNY Oswego, and was one of the people who overdosed, was hospitalized and released.
Oswego Police say that while the two men arrested for allegedly selling heroin were participating in the Bridge Street Run, they do not believe the overdoses were a direct result of the annual event.
However, last night, the Oswego Common Council unanimously passed both a ban on future Bridge Street Runs and another resolution allowing the city to bill SUNY Oswego for overtime expenses incurred for police, fire and Department of Public Works services related to Bridge Street Run.
Stanley said that SUNY Oswego does not host, sponsor or promote the Bridge Street Run, but she said, "with the support of the downtown community, we can find a new approach to end of semester celebrations."
The statement also noted that the university has in place sanctions to punish students who abuse alcohol and other drugs, and that "disciplinary action may be brought against violators of our conduct code in relation to Friday's event."
A university spokeswoman confirmed that the surviving students involved in the overdose incidents this weekend are currently still SUNY Oswego students.
Narcan used
Meanwhile, sources have confirmed to WRVO that another SUNY Oswego student who died April 24 in his home off campus also overdosed on heroin.
Sean DeMerchant Jr., 22, was a senior majoring in marketing with a minor in economics from Mechanicville, N.Y. The cause of his death had not been previously announced, but an obituary and a memorial Facebook page notes that he died "after losing his courageous battle with addiction." Friends confirmed that DeMerchant was addicted to heroin.
And more details about exactly what occurred Friday night and Saturday evening are emerging. The Oswego Fire Department confirms that the three students who apparently overdosed on heroin were all treated with the intravenous form of Narcan by the city fire department who responded to the emergency calls.
Jon Chawgo, deputy chief of the Oswego Fire Department, says that the city's two ambulances and each advance life support engine company are equipped with naloxone, more commonly called Narcan.
Earlier reports on the weekend's incidents had noted that Oswego police are not equipped with Narcan, and it was unclear if the overdose victims had received the medication which is an antidote to opiate drugs like heroin.
The Oswego Fire Department responded to reported overdoses in two different locations in Oswego Friday night and in the early morning hours of Saturday. The first location was on the campus of SUNY Oswego. SAVAC, or Student Association Volunteer Ambulance Corps, was already administering CPR to the student with the apparent overdose when Oswego Fire Department personnel arrived on scene.
Fire department personnel administered Narcan to the student. This student, whose name has not been released, was pronounced dead at Oswego Hospital.
Later, the fire department responded to 56 West Bridge Street where two students were experiencing apparent overdoses. Chawgo says one student was in critical condition and one was reasonably stable. One student required assistance with ventilation, and both were given Narcan intravenously.
Chawgo says that while the fire department responds to drug overdoses regularly, heroin overdoses in Oswego are extremely unusual.

(Originally appeared in The Des Moines Register)
April 1, 2011
A front page story in Sunday's Des Moines Register addresses the closing of the Electrolux plant in Webster City and the loss of 850 manufacturing jobs which will be moved to Juarez, Mexico. As the article points out, "the four counties in the Webster City area…have experienced a 32.1% drop in manufacturing jobs" since 2000. That mirrors what's taken place across the U.S. which has lost one-third of its manufacturing jobs during the same period of time. That's more than 5.6 million good American jobs that have been shipped overseas, outsourced, or simply gone away.
In the words of the late German economist Kurt Richebacher, "Essentially all (U.S.) jobs losses are high-wage manufacturing, and most gains are in low-wage services. In essence the U.S. economy is restructuring downward, while the Chinese economy is restructuring upward."
This hollowing out of our manufacturing base also results in the United States running massive trade deficits with our trading competitors. We currently have trade deficits with 90 nations. In fact, our manufacturing trade deficit from 2000 to 2008 was $5.4 trillion.
A major cause for this decline is that the United States has the most onerous business tax system in the world with its 35 percent income tax rate and its 6.2 percent employer portion of the payroll tax. Our business tax system rewards private equity moguls for loading up American-based companies with lots of debt (debt is deductible under our current system of business taxation) while punitively taxing employment, capital investment, and savings – the engines of job creation and economic growth. Our existing tax system effectively exports prosperity, and American jobs overseas.
President Barack Obama proposes to fix the problem by "out-innovating" our trading competitors. But, as Andy Grove (a founder of Intel) has pointed out, it's "hard to innovate if you don't make." And the United States is not making much these days.
There is a common-sense solution available that addresses these massive trade deficits and loss of our manufacturing base. Under a proposal known as the Hartman Plan, the onerous corporate tax system would be replaced by a revenue-neutral, 8 percent business-consumption tax that would be border-adjusted.
This new approach to taxing business would raise just as much in revenue as, if not more than, the current system of taxation. All goods and services coming into the United States would pay the 8 percent tax while all exports would receive a comparable tax credit or tax abatement as an offset to its company's business-consumption tax. Suddenly, the United States would become competitive again with our trading partners. And we would start bringing jobs back home to America.
Most Americans don't realize that on average we are at an 18 percent tax disadvantage with our trading competitors, most of whom have their own version of a business consumption tax back home. For example, a U.S. manufacturing company trying to export into Germany is hit at the German border with a 19 percent tax while a German manufacturer selling its products in the U.S. gets a 19 percent tax credit or tax abatement back home. Germany has maintained a strong manufacturing sector even with a high-wage cost structure.
Let's not tinker around the margins. This is the right time to totally eliminate the existing corporate tax structure and replace it with an 8 percent business consumption tax. That would be a real economic stimulus plan that would bring jobs home to America, rebuild our manufacturing, lower our trade deficits and put Main Street producers back in charge of the American economy.
Tom Pauken is Chairman of the Texas Workforce Commission and author of "Bringing America Home."

Did I actually see emotion on the ice tonight?
Did I actually see THAT many blocked shots? See, if Koltsov played like that ALL the time, then yes he's valuable and I'd like to see him stay. Wow, he forechecked well, killed penalties, and blocked shots.
...I really hope that continues!
Did I actually see players attacking the opponent because they hacked our goalie?

The Gorge Roller Girls derby team, as the saying goes, left it all on the floor last Saturday night in a hard-fought 213-163 win against the Southern Oregon Roller Girls at The Dalles High School. The saying blood, sweat and tears also applies, in what turned out to be one of the most exciting and physical bouts of the burgeoning team's history.
The team's eight-game winter/spring season started last month with a warm-up intersquad bout between the Cherry Bombers and the River Reapers at Dufur High School. A GRG all-star team made up of the best skaters from both teams competes next on March 15, 6 p.m. against the Rose City Rollers "fresh meat" team, again at The Dalles High School.
Bout MVP honors last weekend went to Wreckless, while best blocker went to Lady 180 and the best jammer award went to ZZ Topless.
Following the March 15 bout, the team travels to Wenachee to take on the Apple City Roller Girls on April 5, then to Goldendale April 26 for another intersquad bout between the Cherry Bombers and the River Reapers. They then return to Hood River for a high-impact bout May 10 vs. the Storm City Roller Girls out of Clark County, followed by another road bout in Salem versus the Cherry City Derby Girls on March 31 and wrap up the season with a final home bout June 14 at HRVHS against the Tri Cities-area Atomic Roller Girls.
n The Gorge Roller Girls practice up to four times a week and are involved in a variety of extracurricular and community-related activities, including a new Save Our Schools partnership. Ladies interested in joining the action can attend the next new-skater intake session scheduled for March 23.
