Veterinarian Formulated & Recommended
All Products Formulated or Approved by Dr. Jane Bicks Life's Abundance Formulator
HIGH-QUALITY PROTEINS – Proteins are the building blocks of all living organisms. Protein is essential for all bodily functions including those of the brain, heart, skin, skeleton and many others. Life's Abundance cat food contains at least 33% of high-quality protein. Look for identifiable animal proteins such as "chicken meal" rather generic terms like "poultry meal," which can consist of any fowl (turkey, chicken, geese, etc.).
CHICKEN FAT - We believe the primary fat source in cat food should be animal based because these fats contain a profile of fatty acids that are easily metabolized and generally more available to the body. Animal fats can vary in quality, so look for a species-specific fat like "chicken fat" (versus "animal fat") to be certain of the kind of fat your cat is eating.
WHOLE GRAINS - Whole grains are an excellent source of protein, fiber, B vitamins, iron, zinc and other essential minerals. They also provide the kind of carbohydrates that deliver sustained energy to your cat. We include the natural goodness of Ground Brown Rice in Life's Abundance Cat Food. We also include Rice Flour, a carbohydrate that delivers quick energy to your cat.
VITAMINS AND MINERALS – The proprietary blend of vitamins and minerals in Life's Abundance foods was carefully selected to work in concert with all of the other ingredients to enhance the overall nutritional value of the food.
ANTIOXIDANT SYSTEM – Among other nutrients, our antioxidant system includes vitamins A, C and E.
OMEGA-3 FATTY ACIDS FROM FISH OIL Omega-3 fatty acids are some of the most extensively researched natural nutritional ingredients in the world. Among its many health benefits, the omega-3's in Life's Abundance help support healthy skin and a shiny coat. We also included flaxseed meal for its outstanding nutritional profile and its contribution to healthy skin and coat.
FLAXSEED MEAL Flaxseed meal is the richest plant source of antioxidant lignans and omega-3 fatty acids. Flaxseed meal also has a very high level of highly-digestible protein and essential amino acids. In addition, flaxseed meal contains significant amounts of fiber, vitamin E, folic acid, riboflavin, niacin, vitamin B-6 and is extremely rich in the minerals potassium, calcium and phosphorus.
BREWER'S DRIED YEAST Brewer's dried yeast is loaded with highly-digestible protein with an exceptional amino acid balance. It also contains an abundance of natural minerals and vitamins, featuring B complex vitamins (except B-12).
BEET PULP (SUGAR REMOVED) Fiber is required in every diet to maintain healthy intestinal tract and proper nutrient absorption. We use beet pulp, which is the fiber from the gray sugar beet (sugar removed). Many studies have demonstrated that beet pulp performs better than many other types of fiber.
DOG GRASS Dog grass contains many nutrients that cats crave … that's instinct at its best! When cats in the wild consumed their prey, the intestinal tract contained grass and this grass provided necessary fiber and phytonutrients.
ALFALFA SPROUTS Alfalfa sprouts contain an abundance of highly active antioxidants, phytochemicals, enzymes, trace minerals and numerous other living nutrients, which work to support good health and promote proper assimilation of foods.
DIRECT-FED MICROBIALS These ingredients are similar to those found in supermarket yogurts. Direct-fed microbials help support healthy immune and digestive systems. Life's Abundance contains the following direct fed microbials:
Dried Lactobacillus acidophilus Fermentation Product, Dried Lactobacillus casei Fermentation Product, Dried Bifidobacterium thermophilum Fermentation Product, Dried Enterococcus faecium Fermentation Product.

to what Carol posted and Teresa's second link (ordered it from Amazon). I like the lips that keep a wiggly pup in place. Very accurate in low and higher ranges. I can use it by myself, even with bigger pups. It also works well for weighing packages, so I never wait in line at the P.O. anymore.
I had the hanging scale when we first started. The pups wiggled out of the sling it came with when they were about 2 weeks old. I never thought of using a bag...great idea!

President Barack Obama's re-election campaign continued to hurl charges that Mitt Romney has a questionable tax history, releasing a new ad Thursday that links him to a tax avoidance scandal.
The 30-second ad, "Son of Boss," points to an op-ed published on CNN.com that was written by two tax experts, who claim Romney was involved with the reporting of a $70 million fictional tax loss when he served on the board of Marriott International from 1993 to 1998.
"During that period," the op-ed states. "Marriott engaged in a series of complex and high-profile maneuvers, including 'Son of Boss,' a notoriously abusive prepackaged tax shelter that investment banks and accounting firms marketed to corporations such as Marriott."
The authors --Peter C. Canellos, former chair of the New York State Bar Association Tax Section and Edward D. Kleinbard, former chief of staff of Congress's Joint Committee on Taxation--wrote that the "Son of Boss" tax shelter marked "perhaps the largest tax avoidance scheme in history" and cost the U.S. "billions in lost corporate tax revenues."
While Romney did not face criminal charges, unlike others linked to the scandal, the authors wrote "his endorsement of this stratagem provides insight into Romney's professional ethics and attitude toward tax compliance obligations."
Responding to the ad, Romney's campaign said Obama's team has "doubled down with another dishonorable and dishonest attack."
"In 2008, candidate Obama said 'you make a big election about small things' when you don't have a record to run on. Since President Obama can't run on record unemployment, falling incomes, and massive debt, he has decided to run a dirty campaign that is an affront to everything he claims to stand for," Romney spokeswoman Amanda Henneberg said in a statement.
In its new television commercial, the Obama campaign reiterates its call for Romney to release more tax returns and asks, "Isn't it time for Romney to come clean?" The campaign and top Democrats have raised questions about the candidate's reported offshore investments and overseas accounts in countries known as tax havens for Americans.
The Republican candidate, whose estimated worth is valued up to $256 million, has made public his tax return for 2010 and an estimate for 2011, with a pledge to release the full year once the documents are complete. He filed an extension for October.
While Romney says he will not release further taxes than what he has already made public, a majority of Americans disagree with his decision. According to a CNN/ORC International poll released Thursday, 63% of Americans said Romney should release additional tax returns.
Most recently, Romney has played defense against accusations made by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, who says an unnamed, "credible" source associated with Romney's former private equity firm, Bain Capital, told Reid that Romney went 10 years without paying taxes.
Responding to the allegations, Romney has staunchly denied the claims, even calling on the top Democrat to either "put up or shut up." In the wake of the controversy, Romney firmly said he paid his taxes in full.
"I have paid taxes every year. And a lot of taxes. A lot of taxes," Romney said Friday at a press conference in Nevada. "So Harry is simply wrong."
But that didn't stop Obama's team from pounding Romney again this week over the tax issue. The new ad also points to an ABC News interview, in which he was asked if he's ever paid a tax rate lower than 13.9%, his rate for 2010.
"I haven't calculated that. I'm happy to go back and look," Romney said.
Team Obama said the ad will run in the same states that Romney's bus tour will cross in the coming week, including Virginia, North Carolina, Florida and Ohio--all battleground states.

Our Price: $298.00
A camera for everyone! Olympus developed the PEN for people who get a kick out of great images, but find shooting with high-end cameras way too tough since most SLR cameras are heavy to carry and relatively difficult to use.

Its smaller and lighter than almost every other system camera with interchangeable lenses, has a faster autofocus, plus its easy to use and it looks fantastic.

Even the supplied high-grade lens looks the part. Fast Shutter Response Never miss a shot again with the E-PM1s fast shutter response time of less than 60 milliseconds. The TruePic VI feature allows for reduced shot-to-shot time by shortening the black-out time between shots.

Professional Audio Sound Capture Take videos that are able to capture uncompressed CD-quality 16bit/44.1kHz Linear PCM stereo recording or AC3 Dolby Digital audio. Easy Photo & Video Playback On Your HDTV The E-PM1 makes sharing your content easier than ever.

This is perfect for sharing your pictures and movies with an audience. Multiple Exposure Shooting A Multiple Exposure function enables you to be creative right in the camera. Multiple images can be captured and combined to create one unique image. The creative possibilities are endless! Additional Aspect Ratios The E-PM1 lets you select one of five Aspect Ratios (4:3 / 3:2 / 16:9 / 6:6 / 3:4) that frame your images to whatever proportions you'd like, for everything from conventional enlargements to viewing on widescreen monitors. Proven Dust Reduction System Olympus Dust Reduction System assures spot-free images, even after changing lenses. Every time you turn on the camera, the patented Supersonic Wave Filter silently vibrates, flinging and collecting dust so that it doesnt interfere with the picture imaging at any time. ePortrait Capturing beautiful portraits is easy with the ePortrait Mode that enables you to soften shadows and smooth your subjects complexion either before image capture or during post-capture edits. Live View Magnification For accurate manual focusing, MF Assist can be enabled during S-AF + MF operation. With it you can zoom in on the central part of the image by up to five times by turning the focus ring.

Klondyke, Platt Street and High Street: Augusta's life in Waterbury continues
As of yesterday, I've added a new page to this site to link the series of posts of Augusta's memoir in one place. (Obvious, right? I can't think why I didn't do it long ago.) I've also added a couple of photos of her, the only ones I've got. You can find the new page here, or reach it from any other page by clicking on Augusta's name just below the blog header.
Here is the next section of the memoir, which gives an idea of the frequency with which Augusta and her family moved around Waterbury during the early 1900s as they worked towards owning a home of their own. I've spent some time this evening trying to find out more about the housing fraud she mentions, or even anything about the Klondyke area, but with no success thus far. I did, though, find the map of Waterbury (1899) and view of Waterbury (1917) posted below, both of which can be found alongside lots of similarly good stuff at the University of Connecticut's Map and Geographic Information Center site. Click and then click again for fabulously detailed large scans you can get pleasurably lost in, or visit their site.
In Waterbury there was an area called Klondyke on a hill a little way from where we lived. Here a man built a number of new houses that looked very attractive. Later we learned that they had been very poorly constructed. He sold these houses on an easy payment plan, $50 down and $30 a month thereafter. There was one we liked on top of the hill, and we walked by it many times when we were out with our son. We found it too tempting to resist. We were young and inexperienced, we couldn't assess the house properly, and our $66 from Sweden was burning a hole in our pocket. And we decided to invest $50 of our $66 in the house, moved there, got settled, and loved it.
I remember that in moving there we had trouble with a much-loved rubber plant that was too tall to go into any room and had to stay in the front hall. A young man helping us move carried it into the house for us. This young man, named Eastlund, was a student from Yale University who was taking care of our church while we were waiting for a new minister. He was not far from our age, and became one of our best friends, a long friendship that lasted all our lives.
Our tranquil life had a rude awakening. We discovered that the man who had sold us our house and to whom we had paid our money had skipped town, taking with him all the money he had collected from the people who had bought his houses. It turned out to be a fraudulent scheme, and we all lost our money and our houses. Fortunately we had not had time to make many payments, so our loss was serious but not devastating. However, we had to move out of our new home.
We looked for a rent to move to, and found one on the second floor of a house on Platt Street for $16 a month. It was small but nice, and we could have chickens and a garden there. The owner's name was Poulter. We moved there and liked it, continuing our life in this new setting.
Our little son was getting big, and started school, kindergarten, in Webster School nearby. We lived in this house for three years, then decided to move again. We found a very nice rent on High Street on the second floor of a large corner house for $20 a month. It was owned by a man named Stanley. He was the organist in a large church downtown. They had two daughters, Louise and Ada. Mrs Stanley had only one lung because of a sickness, but she was healthy and felt just as well with one lung as two, so she said. They were lovely people and we liked them very much.
We had a large living room, dining room, one room that could be used for a study, two bedrooms, and a kitchen. We also had the third floor where there was a large room with a closet. This room we rented out to two nice boys from the church. I don't remember what they paid us, but they had board and room. The large room that was meant for a study we turned into a store where we sold Swedish books of all kinds. We ordered the books from a wholesale store in Brooklyn, and made quite a lot of money from this project. We saved it all towards buying a new house, our dream. I was also making quite a few dresses and other clothes, and every week I went to the bank and deposited all the earnings we could spare.

Make Hair Grow Faster--Secret Tips That Work!
By Cindy Kroiss
Gorgeous, long locks are the envy of most women. We all want to make hair grow faster overnight, especially after a bad haircut. Unfortunately, this isn't scientifically possible, but there are tips to help speed up the process. It is estimated that hair grows approximately one half an inch per month, so the trick is to avoid hair loss and keep each strand healthy.
Massage Your Scalp: Relax. Sit back. Massage your scalp. Not only does it feel good, but it increases circulation to the hair follicles and stimulates hair growth naturally. Give yourself a scalp massage with your finger tips for at least 10 minutes every day to make hair grow faster, which can be done while shampooing.
Keep Hair Trimmed: Trimmed hair is healthier, and healthy hair grows faster. Sadly, you can't mend split ends. Your hair stylist will have to cut above the split, so make sure to get your ends trimmed every six to eight weeks.
Washand Condition: Use salon-quality shampoos and conditioners specifically designed for your hair type. Try not to over-wash. Washing only three to four times a week can help make hair grow faster. Apply more conditioner to the ends--too much on the scalp tends to weigh longer hair down. Use lukewarm or cool water, especially when rinsing. This helps keep the hair follicles closed and makes your hair less dry.
Exercise: Regular exercise keeps you healthy. It increases circulation not only throughout your whole body, but also to your scalp. Exercise also relieves stress, which can cause hair loss. So lace up those sneakers and get going!
Eat Healthfully: Eat a well-balanced diet with plenty of fruits, green vegetables, and whole grains. Iron and zinc-rich foods will help make hair grow faster and appear thicker. Calcium and vitamin B12 are also beneficial. Foods such as fish, poultry, eggs, nuts, cheese, and oranges are great choices for healthy hair growth.
Be Gentle: Tugging, pulling, and over-styling your hair leads to breakage and hair loss. Be sure to brush gently, avoid excessive heat styling (straightening and curling irons), minimize chemical processes, and avoid the blow dryer. If you must, attach a diffuser to disperse the heat.
Lastly, a little patience will help make hair grow faster. Watching hair grow is like watching water boil. But if you take good care of your locks, growth will happen more quickly than you think. It doesn't take a lot of effort, just a hair-healthy regime.

But at night Elliot is accused of using motels in Weber County to prostitute underage girls.
"He's been running an escort service for an extended period of time," says Lt. James Ebert. "We had information from the victims that they've been working for him and they've been involved in prostitution."
According to charging documents a 17-year old girl came to Room 126 at Motel 6 in Riverdale to meet her John.
"Aaron known to her as Dante, drove her to three 'calls' or appointments to meet men."
The probable cause affidavit claimed the teen was told by "Aaron told her to collect $150 from a male. The 17-year old female advised that the male tipped her $50.... (for) a sex act involving her mouth and the mans genitals."
The 16-year old girl told police that she was driven to the Motel 6 in Ogden where "Aaron told her to collect $150 from the man."
The teen claimed that the "man paid her a tip of $100 and asked to have sex with her. (She) refused but disclosed that a sex act involving the mouth of the man and her genitals occurred between her and the man."
A police officer found the two teens loitering near the Motel 6 with Elliot. The officer began asking questions and Lt. Ebert says that's when the officer realized the two minors were prostituting themselves.
Friday night, a sting operation at the Motel 6 in Ogden was used to nab another escort. That's when police were able to pinpoint Elliot as the man allegedly behind the prostitution operation.
According to the affidavit that the escorts claimed "Aaron ... required her to have sex with him before he would hire her so that he knew that his customers were going to have a good time."
Saturday, Elliot was arrested but bailed out of the Weber County jail.

OTTAWA — The Conservative government is well on its way to balancing the books by 2015, announcing Tuesday it posted an $18.9-billion deficit in 2012-13 — well below the $25.9 billion projected in the March budget.
Finance Minister Jim Flaherty didn't have a lot of explanation for how the federal government's deficit could be $7 billion less than what was projected just seven months ago. But he maintained Ottawa is committed to introducing income-splitting for couples with children under age 18 — at the cost of $2.5 billion a year — once the books are balanced.
The annual financial report released Tuesday shows total expenses in 2012-13 were $275.6 billion — $4.5 billion less than Ottawa predicted in the most recent budget. Revenues for the year were $256.6 billion, about $2.4 billion more than predicted in the March budget.
Add it up, and the 2012-13 deficit is a whopping $7 billion less than expected last spring. It also means the Conservative government will likely be able to fulfil its key promise to eliminate the deficit by the 2015 election.
"We are on track to balance in 2015," Flaherty told reporters Tuesday in Ottawa.
Asked about a continuing trend that sees individual federal departments spending less than budgeted, Flaherty quipped: "I think I'm scaring them off."
"Governments are very conscious of their spending levels . . . this is a good thing," he added.
The $18.9-billion shortfall in 2012-13 almost already meets the $18.7-billion deficit projection for the current 2013-14 fiscal year that was identified in the budget. Flaherty said the Lac-Mégantic, Que., rail disaster and Alberta flooding will "have substantial fiscal consequences in the billions of dollars" that must be paid in the current fiscal year.
Here's a look at federal government finances by the numbers:
- Projected 2012-13 federal deficit listed in March budget: $25.9 billion
- Final 2012-13 federal deficit as identified in annual report: $18.9 billion
- Reduction in federal deficit between budget projection and annual report: $7 billion
- Total federal debt (accumulated deficit) at end of 2012-13: $602.4 billion
- Total interest payment in 2012-13 on federal debt: $29.1 billion
- 2012-13 federal revenues: $256.6 billion (three per cent increase over 2011-12)
Source of 2012-13 revenues includes:
- Personal income tax: $125.7 billion (49 per cent of total revenue)
- Corporate income tax: $35 billion (13.6 per cent of total revenue)
- Goods and Services Tax: $28.8 billion (11.2 per cent of total revenue)
- Employment insurance premiums: $20.4 billion (7.9 per cent of total revenue)
2012-13 federal expenses: $275.6 billion (0.1 per cent increase over 2011-12)
Composition of expenses for 2012-13:
- Major transfers to persons, including benefits for elderly, children and EI: $70.3 billion
- Transfers to other levels of government, including for health and social programs, equalization, cities and communities: $58.4 billion
- Total direct program expenses: $117.7 billion
Total spending on National Defence in 2012-13: $23 billion

H2 2012 E-Threat Landscape Report - Overview
For the first half of the year, zero-day vulnerabilities played an essential role in disseminating malware with exploit packs as a favorite vector of infection. The dangerous zero-day exploit in the Java Runtime Environment (CVE-2012-4681) was documented and proof of concept was added to Metasploit, which became public knowledge before a fix was made available.
As a direct result, three billion devices running Java were vulnerable to remote code exploitation for roughly 48 hours. A second exploit hit in September and targeted Internet Explorer 9. Successful exploitation would allow remote compromise of the system with the installation of the Poison Ivy backdoor. Both zero-day exploits were used in advanced persistent attacks.
2012 saw fluctuations in the amount of junk e-mail as a proportion of e-mail traffic. The year began with a slight decrease in spam e-mails, but spam constantly gained ground towards the middle of the year. According to data gathered from the Bitdefender Antispam lab, the second half saw growth again, with small variations towards the end of 2012. The increase in the number of junk e-mails was nonetheless minor, by only 5%, leading to a rough value of 73% of the total number of e-mails sent worldwide.

We recently had the pleasure of chatting with Miguel San Martin, chief engineer for Guidance, Navigation, and Control at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, where he has worked on four Mars spacecraft. On Twitter he's @MigOnMars.
In case you're just tuning in: On August 6 (it was still August 5 on the West Coast), the Mars rover Curiosity landed on Mars amid enormous celebration among space enthusiasts. The one-ton rover put its wheels on Mars through a complicated process known as "seven minutes of terror." A supersonic parachute and a sky crane had to be utilized in order to safely get Curiosity there. The mission cost $2.5 billion.
San Martin, who worked on Curiosity's landing system, spoke in November at the High Museum of Art in Atlanta at a special Holy Innocents' Episcopal School event called "Pushing Boundaries." We caught up with him before he gave an inspiring talk to students, parents and faculty about his career. Here is an edited transcript:
Light Years: What are you doing now that Curiosity has landed?
San Martin: We're doing three things: One, there's a lot of interest around it so I'm giving a lot of talks about Curiosity.
As far as my work at JPL, we are working - the whole team is working - on doing a reconstruction of the events that took place and how the landing on Mars worked.
The spacecraft was accumulating a lot of telemetry (data) that it couldn't send us because our Internet bandwidth is very low from Mars, right, so we cannot send all the information we are taking. So we accumulated it, so if you land successfully, and we did, we have this treasure of data that we've downlinked that tells us exactly how things progressed through the landing process, which is very important for us to design the next mission.
It tells if we got very close to failure, (so) we can fix that, or if we learn something that we did not know, and we got lucky, so we can fix that and make it better, or just simply say, "No, it worked this well." So it's very important, because we don't get to test the system here on Earth.
And also I'm working on a study, it's not a mission, on how to go to a comet and take a sample of the comet and bring it back to Earth. It's called Comet Sample Return.
Light Years: How was the Curiosity landing for you?
San Martin: It was a fun thing. Actually, we felt that people were watching, for the first time, because of the seven minutes of terror. Social media helped a lot to bring up awareness. This is my fourth Mars landing, and this was the first time it felt like we achieved actually something that we always wanted to do, which was: Come watch this thing! It might not work! This is exploration; you might see a moment of defeat, you might see a moment of triumph. They're both moments of life, so you should try to join us and be part of that.
In the past, people kind of felt that they found out the next day. They opened the paper: Oh, they landed on Mars! And they still got very excited. But I feel like this time there were more people who were part of the event.
Light Years: How long were you working on the Mars Science Laboratory/Curiosity before it landed?
San Martin: Eight years. So essentially I finished working on Spirit and Opportunity (the twin rovers in the Mars Exploration Rover, MER, program), and even during that time participated in a couple of meetings. Actually I believe, if I remember correctly, I'm pretty sure that the meeting that took place where we came up with the sky crane concept occurred before the end of MER. So a lot of us, the moment that we finished the Mars Exploration Rover mission that we landed, we moved onto MSL. That was in 2004.
Light Years: Did people think the sky crane idea was ridiculous?
San Martin: The lab (Jet Propulsion Laboratory) was divided between the people who thought we were total crazy nuts and then the people who thought, "Oh yeah, that's actually a pretty cool idea and it should work." I understood both types of people, because really to understand why it was a good idea, you needed to actually go through the whole intellectual journey, starting with Pathfinder and MER. So we didn't get there just in an instant.
Maybe when we ... started going to Mars in the '90s, when we put Pathfinder on Mars, if somebody had proposed that back then, we probably would have said no, that's not a very good idea. So we actually had to go through the experience of (landing rovers on Mars) and see how. Actually the problem was getting harder, because we were landing bigger rovers and bigger rovers.
Light Years: What did you think about the sky crane?
San Martin: I was one of the ones that right from the beginning thought it was a good idea. I did not invent it, you know, it was a group of people who said that would be an advantageous thing to do. I'm on the side of guidance, navigation and control, so I had to figure out how to control it during that time, so a lot of people looked at me in terms of, "Can we control such a thing, or it's crazy and it's going to go out of control and crash." So that was my contribution, to say, "Yeah, we can control it."
We have done similar things with the previous (rovers). The airbag landers actually have thrusters on top. People don't realize that. They were a different type of thruster, but some of the dynamics that we experienced were very complicated, in some ways more complicated, so that emboldened us to say yeah, we can do this.
And then you know a lot of very smart people said it would be advantageous to put the rover on the bottom (of the spacecraft) because then we can land it on the wheels. And the moment they said that, I said yeah, of course we can do that. So I was part of the beginning of the gestation of the whole thing.
Light Years: Do you think you'll ever use the sky crane again?
San Martin: Yeah, oh yes, I mean the sky crane now is a proven architecture. I think that all of the fears, a lot of people said that's very complicated, the fact that we didn't test it on Earth ... our argument was that it looks complicated, but actually the physics of the problem are pretty simple. And (in the) simulation we felt very confident. Now, the only thing missing from that argument was to actually try it.
And now we've tried it and we can say it looked easy and it was easy. And when I say easy, I mean not that it's cake, but simply that with a simulation you can prove (the system). You don't actually have to fire the rockets and do the whole thing. There are certain engineering designs and engineering architecture like the airbags ... you really need to test it in very similar environments, because we don't have the technology by simulation to feel comfortable that it's going to work.
So yes, we'll be using the sky crane again for these type of missions. There might be some other ones where things are small, where we might go back to the airbags just because of the cost issue. The sky crane requires good thrusters and good radars and that brings the cost up.

A Luzerne County woman has filed a class action lawsuit against the owners of more than a dozen McDonald's restaurants.
She claims she is being forced to pay fees to access her pay.
The controversy centers on debit cards given to employees of the restaurants to access their pay.
The I-Team's Andy Mehalshick has the story.
County council members called the handling of last week's primary election by the election board "embarrassing" and "disappointing." One school board race, it's claimed, could be marred because of errors made by election staff members. So far, county administrators have largely sidestepped efforts to get to the bottom of the mess.
The chairman of the Luzerne County Election Bureau who had already inserted his foot in his mouth a day earlier, confirmed to a local newspaper that he decided not to release election returns to TV news stations because reporters were "screaming and yelling and late to the game."
Kingston Police Chief Keith Keiper was placed on paid administrative leave earlier this week. Officials say it is the result of an ongoing internal policy review. A separate investigation has been underway at Wyoming Valley West School District concerning an activities account where off-duty officers were paid for security services, in cash.
Police file charges against two teens in bullying incident
Leo Glodzik, owner of L.A.G. Towing, Wilkes-Barre's exclusive towing contractor, is under investigation by several law enforcement agencies, according to sources close to the investigation.
Police arrested 23-year old Reese Tankalavage and 33-year old Christopher Albertson from Freeland.
Members of the Pittston Area School Board publicly debated reinstating Dr. Janet Donovan. The former principal for curriculum says she was demoted after refusing to "play ball" with a corrupt ex-superintendent.
Members of the Wilkes-Barre Area school board sent a strong message to the Hawkeye camera authority, voting to reject a $270,000 contract with the controversial city surveillance system.
Answering Mayor Thomas Leighton's challenge, Frank Sorick, president of the city's taxpayers association, filed two criminal complaints against city police and L.A.G. Towing.
The events surrounding a two-year-old crash could figure prominently in the ongoing investigation of L.A.G. Towing. Judy Mallott contacted Eyewitness News saying she was charged $650 for a tow and one night of storage by L.A.G., and she says police forced her to use L.A.G..

Hartal is the worst form of political agitation in our country. If any issues go against the party which is not in power may call on hartal to show their disregard to the position of the authority. This is the popular political trend in our country.
If any political party is aggrieved by the government, it calls hartal irrespective of the issues related to public interest. The reason for hartal is not necessarily related to the interest of the country or the people. It is true to all the political parties of the country. While Awami League was in the opposition, they called hartal for indefinite period which lasted for 21 days in some occasions. The total days of the hartal has crossed the limit of all time. The reason of the hartal was to establish a new form of government i.e. caretaker government and to hold the general election under this government. After an enduring period of hartal and all other forms of protests, the caretaker government was incorporated in the constitution. After AL came to power, BNP again appeared with the same appearance of hartal and other forms of agitation. The power was shifted twice between the parties and hartal was established as a most favorite tool of showing agitations against the government.
However, practically, hartal is no more a favorite tool of agitation to the people. It has become an outdated form even in our country where there has not been any other form of protests against the government or to oust the government.
In our country, though hartal has become a democratic way of protest, but it has gained much unpopularity at least very recently. Therefore, it is now an unpopular-democratic way of protest against the government. Once it was popular and with the passage of time, it is now ostracized by the citizenry of the country.
In other countries of the world, it was not favorite at all for any sort of agitation against the government, except in India, Nepal and very few other countries. But does it mean that there is no protest in other countries? Is the governments of other counties are running the country with every success where there is no discontent amongst the people against the government? Probably the case is not so as we deem.
But the popular way of agitation is the way which is not destructive for the country and not detrimental to the wellbeing of the state. For doing so, they organize peaceful procession, demonstration, debate, and showdown and so other form which reflect the intention of the people. And, very reasonably, those are enough for the government to realize the public demands. Depending on the gravity of the agitation, the true democratic government steps down and transfer the power to the people. Though, it not everywhere in the world, but this is prevailing scenario of the world's democracies. However, we have some examples of middle-eastern countries where the most unfortunate incidents took place in the event of transfer of power.
But we may raise the question about the existence of democracy in those countries as well. Here, both the opposition and the party in power need to realize the public perception on hartal. But very regrettably both of our major political parties lag behind this perception and hence many things both from the government and the opposition are imposed on the people, on the country.
The reality is that, hartal is no more being observed as we have seen earlier. The reason is rooted in to the life and livelihood of the people. Hence it has gone obsolete and is of no use for the people. But does it mean that people are not aware of what the government is doing? Is the popularity of the government has not been blemished? Has opposition lost its popularity or not able to gain popularity?
Whatever the answers of those questions are, they are unquestionably not related to the popularity of hartal, let alone the impact of hartal on our economy and wellbeing.
It is high time for all the political parties of our country to search for more democratic alternative to hartal.
We have parliament to discuss all the issues within the scope of the constitution. However, other peaceful form of agitation is also a allowable in democracy if those are not detrimental and destructive to the country. But we gain nothing from hartal except loss of lives, property and economy at large. Both the government and the opposition should realize that very reality of the situation and providence of hartal. So fast, so good.

The voices of Badger sports, Mike Lucas and Matt Lepay bring you the best sports talk weekday mornings from 6am to 8am!
Mike Lucas has more than 38 years under his belt covering Badgers sports for the Madison Capitol Times. Along with national, regional and local writing awards, Lucas has been twice named the Sportswriter of the Year in Wisconsin. He also has more than 15 years as color analyst on Wisconsin Radio Network for Badger football and basketball. You can see Mike hosts his weekly television show, Sidelines on WISC TV (Ch.3-Ch.14). Lucas has authored five books: Barry's Badgers, the chronicleof the 1993 Rose Bowl Season; Five Golden Rings; the Saga of Wisconsin Hockey; The 25 Greatest Moments in Camp Randall History; Don't Flinch, the Barry Alvarez autobiography; and Another Hill to Climb, the Bo Ryan autobiography.
Matt Lepay is a native of Dayton, Ohio and is a graduate of Ohio State University (degree in journalism). He is the radio voice of Wisconsin Badgers Football and Basketball(football since 1994 and basketball since 1988-89) and a five-time Wisconsin Sportscaster of the Year (as selected by state media members). You may have seen him on TV as the host of the Badgers Sports Report with UW coaches Bret Bielema and Bo Ryan. He also co-hosts Badgers Sportstalk radio shows with Mike Lucas.
Did you miss Tom Silverstein of JSOnline on Lucas and Lepay this morning?
Packers Insider Bill Scott joins the guys a couple of times a week and today they previewed Packers/Ravens and what type of impact the loss of Clay Matthews could have on the game.
After winning their second Northwoods League Championship with a two-game sweep over Duluth, Madison Mallards GM Conor Coloia brought the title trophy to the studio when he visited with Lucas & Lepay on Tuesday morning.
Check out what Conor has to say about the team's run through the Lakeshore Chinooks in the South Division playoffs, their College Summer World Series defeat of Duluth, and how they are thanking fans this weekend with a true Wisconsin tradition.
The Badgers are preparing for their first scrimmage on Monday. Tom Mulhern from the Wisconsin State Journal shared his observations and thoughts regarding the first few practices of the season, including an interesting new technique used by the coaches.
Mulhern on the coaches' new technique:
They had all three units marching down the field at the same time, the ones, the twos, and then the threes. They hurried to the line of scrimmage, got aligned then ran a play as quickly as they could. Then they sprinted about 15 yards down the field, put the ball down, and then ran another play, while the twos filled in behind them, then the threes. They marched all the way down the field with the coaches doing an extreme amount of yelling, then turned around and came back. So you're getting the conditioning aspect, really being pushed hard by the coaches, but you also had to get lined up correctly and run a play. It wasn't just the conditioning component; it was the mental aspect too. It was pretty smart. I've never seen that, and I thought it was an interesting twist.
Mulhern on the quarterbacks:
I do think each of them have different strengths and that each of them have different weaknesses as well. I haven't seen a lot of differences out of Phillips and Stave that we didn't know pretty much going in. Phillips is pretty smart and he's going to make a lot of really good decisions. He still has a little bit of running ability despite the issues with the three ACLs. Stave is a good thrower. He's best in the pocket when he has time and can set his feet, but he struggles a little bit with blitzes and pressure. Then when he has to adjust and move in the pocket he's not as accurate. McEvoy is what's been advertised. He's a good athlete. We saw him yesterday break the pocket and get out in the open, and that guy can eat up yards in a hurry with that effortless stride. He hasn't run a whole lot so we haven't seen a lot of that, but I think he has some work to do in the passing lane. Then I think Bart Houston has the best arm of them all, yet it hurt him to miss almost all of last year. He's just so
far behind I don't know if he can get in the race yet. I want to reserve this until I seem them in scrimmage, but I think the passing game is overall sharper and crisper, and they are throwing it pretty decently.
