Summary | Excerpt | Reading Guide | Reviews | Beyond the book | Readalikes | Genres & Themes | Author Bio
In 1894 Carrie McGavock is an old woman who has only her former slave to keep
her company
and the almost 1,500 soldiers buried in her backyard. Years
before, rather than let someone plow over the field where these young men had
been buried, Carrie dug them up and reburied them in her own personal cemetery.
Now, as she walks the rows of the dead, an old soldier appears. It is the man
she met on the day of the battle that changed everything. The man who came to
her house as a wounded soldier and left with her heart. He asks if the cemetery
has room for one more.
In an extraordinary debut novel, based on a remarkable true story, Robert Hicks draws an unforgettable, panoramic portrait of a woman who, through love and loss, found a cause. Known throughout the country as "the Widow of the South," Carrie McGavock gave her heart first to a stranger, then to a tract of hallowed ground - and became a symbol of a nation's soul.
The novel flashes back thirty years to the afternoon of the Battle of Franklin, five of the bloodiest hours of the Civil War. There were 9,200 casualties that fateful day. Carrie's home - the Carnton plantation - was taken over by the Confederate army and turned into a hospital; four generals lay dead on her back porch; the pile of amputated limbs rose as tall as the smoke house. And when a wounded soldier named Zachariah Cashwell arrived and awakened feelings she had thought long dead, Carrie found herself inexplicably drawn to him despite the boundaries of class and decorum. The story that ensues between Carrie and Cashwell is just as unforgettable as the battle from which it is drawn.
The Widow of The South is a brilliant novel that captures the end of an era, the vast madness of war, and the courage of a remarkable woman to claim life from the grasp of death itself.
Also available as a Time Warner Audiobook, in a Large Print Edition and as an eBook.
excerpt from the Prologue
Carrie watched him go and then turned to Mariah, whom she had once owned, a gift to her from her father. She was a gift, whatever the meaning and implications of that word. Mariah had been her tether to the earth when things had spun away, when Carrie wasn't sure if there remained a real and true life for her, and then when she wasn't sure if she wanted that life even if it existed. Things had been different once. She couldn't believe that she had ever been so . . . what? Weak? No, that wasn't it. She'd never been weak. She'd been buffeted and knocked down, like grass bent to the ground by the wind preceding a thunderstorm. She'd been slow to get up. But she did get up, eventually. There had been no choice. She was not afraid of much, and she especially wasn't afraid of God. Not anymore, not for a long time.
"Mariah, what do you see?"
A mockingbird chased a hawk across the width of the ...
Robert Hicks was born and raised in South Florida. In 1974 he moved to Tennessee where he now lives in an eighteenth-century log cabin near Leiper's Fork. His day job is music publishing and artist management but his passion is collecting - including 18th century maps of Tennessee, Tennesseana in general and Southern decorative arts. He was the driving force behind, and co-curator of, the Art of Tennessee exhibition in Nashville which opened in September 2003 and has served on the boards ...
If you liked The Widow of The South, try these:
In this eagerly-awaited third novel, award-winning author Dara Horn brings us page-turning storytelling at its best. Layered with meaning, All Other Nights presents the most American of subjects with originality and insight -- and the possibility of reconciliation that might yet await us.
In the midst of the American Civil War, a southern plantation owner's wife is arrested by her husband and declared insane for interfering with his slaves. She is sent to an island mental asylum to come to terms with her wrongdoing, but instead finds love and escape with a war-haunted Confederate soldier.

Think rollerderby is a fluffy sport? Think again.
The Mad Rollin' Dolls, Madison's new rollerderby league, hit the rink Sunday at the Fast Forward Skate Center.
The Reservoir Dolls faced down the Psycho Kitties, while the Unholy Rollers went head–to–head with the Quad Squad in front of several hundred cheering spectators.
Team members say that roller derby is a very exciting and challenging sport, that can sometimes turn violent.
"You'll see girls knocking each other several feet into the crowd, you might see some blood, you'll certainly see a lot of exciting skating," says Psycho Kitties team member Bad Sister Heidi.
"We've had a lot of bad injuries, a lot of ugly bruises that we name, a lot of stitches, broken bones, everything," says Pamdemonium, co-founder of Mad Rollin' Dolls.
Although the girls don't act nice on the rink, they give all the profits from the league to charity.
They can be seen around town at volunteer and fundraising events. Their next bout is set for March 20th.

World Superpipe Championships
This past weekend Park City hosted the fourth annual World Superpipe Championships. Skiers battled it out in the Eagle Super pipe, home of the 2002 Winter Games. Weather conditions were very poor which made the pipe super slow but all the skiers adapted the speed and put on a good show.
Tanner Hall threw down again to come out on top. Tanner has won all three halfpipe comps he has entered this year. (US Open, X Games, and WSC) Not bad since he has been skiing powder all winter for his new film Show and Prove. Simon Dumont finished 2nd and was pretty stoked, this was his second halfpipe podium of the season.

Global health and benefits solutions for multinationals
As corporations expand their operations across the globe, employers need to look at the scope and level of benefits they provide for both the local workforce and their increasingly mobile workers. Mercer helps you understand each country's competitive practices and structure the most cost-effective approach to funding and administering benefit programs.
Another challenge involved in global expansion is identifying and managing the diverse health risks present in each location. Mercer's global health management specialists understand how to incorporate unique health risks, delivery system attributes and cultural concerns into a global health strategy. Appropriate strategies for each country can be bundled under regional and global strategy arrangements to maximize financial impact and ensure consistent governance.
Our global solutions include the following:
Global Benefits Management (GBM)
GBM provides a way for you to optimize global cost savings for insured benefits while staying aligned with the company's risk strategy. Our GBM approach allows you to obtain the optimal balance between global expertise and local delivery by delegating or "out-sourcing" the broker relationship for global benefit programs to Mercer. The whole process is coordinated by a specialist management unit leveraging MercerGOLD+, our global online datase. The end result is an approach that supports your global benefits strategy and maximizes financial efficiency, including multinational pooling.
Global Health Management
Improved employee health and productivity will not only position your company as an employer of choice, but will also save money, reduce risk and contribute to your business results. Mercer's dedicated team of health care professionals ensures that your global health management program will have globally consistent elements, but will be locally relevant.
Read more on Global Health Management
Employers that have diverse geographic locations are increasingly recognizing the need to define an overarching global health management strategy to guide decisions for each location. Mercer's health management specialists help global organizations:
The end result is a consistent, yet locally-respected, long-term approach to managing and measuring workforce health.
Global mobility for expatriate workers
A globally mobile workforce is essential for competing in today's global marketplace. Although expatriates may represent a small proportion of your workforce, the time and resources involved in managing them can be immense. Managing expatriate arrangements, however, presents a real challenge to ensure that programs are relevant, timely, cost-effective, and attractive to both new and existing talent. If managed effectively, expatriate health benefits can generate tremendous advantages by transferring cross-border knowledge, leveraging local investments and providing career development opportunities. The risk of not getting it right can be high.

A Richfield Springs resident will soon be traveling to Russia thanks to her award in the 2013-14 Fulbright U.S. Student Program.
Meredith Doubleday, who graduated from the University of Rochester in 2013, was among 13 students and two alumni from the college to receive the grants, according to a college media release. She graduated from Cherry Valley-Springfield Central School in 2009.
Doubleday could not be reached for comment Thursday. She is working at the Library of Congress this summer before starting her Fulbright year, according to the college.
According to the college, during her year, Doubleday will work in Voronezh, in an English teaching assistantship. It's "the perfect vehicle for Doubleday's intensive engagement with Russian language and culture and her lifelong desire to teach English as a second language," according to the release.
She is a Russian and classics double major who grew up in Richfield Springs among a strong Russian Orthodox community. But, her first engagement with the language came through an introductory course at the college.
She studied abroad in St. Petersburg during the fall 2012 semester, where she volunteered as an English instructor at the Language Club teaching adults. She also traveled several times to Russia as a member of the Russian Orthodox Youth Choir and given presentation on her work to different groups.
Summer stints at the Fenimore Art and Farmers' Museums in Cooperstown helped her obtain an internship at the Hermitage Museum during her internship in St. Petersburg. That led to an internship at the Rare Books and Special Collections Division of the Library of Congress last summer.
The Fulbright U.S. Student Program is the largest U.S. exchange program offering opportunities for students and young professionals to undertake international graduate study, advanced research, university teaching, and primary and secondary school teaching worldwide, according to the Fulbright website. Participants meet, work, live with and learn from the people of the host country, sharing daily experiences.

Natalie Simon is an Art Student at OCADU, focusing on illustration. When she's not at school, she enjoys painting figure studies in oil paint, or hanging out (literally) doing aerial Performance Art. Natalie is also an ex-roller derby girl, so she can often be seen skating around Toronto on her old-school quad rollerskates.
What do you do:
Along with Illustration and Oil Painting, I also study Performance Art. I train pretty hard for the Aerial Art, dedicating a pretty significant chunk of my spare time to the training and travel required. It's so worth the time when I get to fly on a regular basis! It also gives me a chance to play around with fancy performance makeup, which combines my two artistic pleasures in life.
On her first pair of Fluevogs:
I worked in a store that sold Fluevogs a year or so ago, but every time I would go to get myself a pair my size would already been taken. Fluevogs for me have been elevated to this sort of unattainable pedestal - dream shoes really! So in a way, it was a dream come true to get to design an ad for Fluevog Shoes, shoes I really idolize and lust after!
On entering the FluevogCreative contest:
My boyfriend needed shoes! I wanted to surprise him with dress shoes as a grad present so he would have something to wear to interviews. However, I realized on an art students budget, it was not going to be possible. While perusing the Fluevog site, I remembered an ex-coworker telling me about The FluevogCreative Contests. I figured hey, I may be limited by an art student budget for normal methods of shoe acquisition, but that whole being an art student thing just might work in my favour for more Fluevogian methods of getting my hands on some fabulous footwear.
On how long it took for Natalie to design her winning creative:
It took a few days of intense research into thangka paintings, another few to hand-ink my outlines, and a few more days to colour everything in. Being very new to computer generated images it probably took me longer than it ought to have, and there was certainly a bit of a time crunch as Id only decided to enter a week before the deadline!
On the inspiration behind her winning ad The Miracle Jump:
I drew inspiration from the name of the shoes themselves - picturing the K2s as if worn by a modern Mountain God, with the tips of the shoes forming the peaks of the spirits home. Taking (liberal!) artistic reference from Tibetan thangka paintings, in regards to the strong outlines and curlicue cloud forms, my aim was to capture the sense that to wear K2s is to move mountains and walk amongst the gods.
On what the dreams and future hold for Natalie Simon:
My dreams right now are rather up in the air (pun very much intended) for Performance Art. As for my work in illustration and painting, back on earth, Im gearing up to get started on my thesis project. I will be working on a few enormous oil paintings as part of a larger series of paintings, and I am in the process of pulling together both a website for my illustration and a web comic. Looking forward into the future, I would love to see my paintings in more galleries, and cant wait to see where my web comic work will take me. Im rediscovering a passion for illustrative activism too, so who knows, maybe my old dream of political cartooning is worming its way back into a place of prominence on my list of artistic goals.
Keep an eye out in Vice, Juxtapoz, Good, Filter, Fader, Bust, and Wax Poetic magazines for Natalie's winning design in print.
Feel free to email Natalie for more info.

Hi my question about Theory of Computation is:
Let $M$ be defined as follows $$M = (K; E; s; D; F )$$ for $$ \begin{align*} K &= \{q_0, q_1, q_2, q_3\}, \\ E &= \{a, b, c\}, \\ s &= q_0, \\ D &= \{(q_0, abc, q_0), (q_0, a, q_1), (q_0, \epsilon, q_3), (q_1, bc, q_1), (q_1, b, q_2), (q_2, a, q_2), (q_2, b, q_3), (q_3, a, q_3)\}, \\ F &= \{q_0, q_2, q_3\}. \end{align*} $$ Find the regular expression describing $L(M)$. Simplify it as much as you can. Explain your steps.
This is what I found for the regular expression: $$\epsilon + (abc)* + (abc)* a (bc)* ba* + (abc)*a(bc)*ba*b + (abc)*a(bc)*ba*ba* + a*.$$
How does that simplify into this: $$(abc)* a(bc)* + \epsilon + a*ba*?$$

The Cowgirls, who have won three Big 12 Conference road games for the first time since 2009-10, lost to the Mountaineers 67-61 on Jan. 29 and were coming off Sunday's 80-61 loss at No. 23 Oklahoma.
Oklahoma State (17-6, 6-6) trailed 22-20 when Toni Young's layup and jumper sparked a 10-0 run en route to a 35-25 halftime lead.
"It was a shame. They came in here and played harder and wanted it more and we came out flat. We had two good days of practice and came out and played flat like that. I don't have the answer," WVU coach Mike Carey said. "We stood around in the first half and shot a bunch of threes and were not hitting our threes. In the second half, at least we went inside some. They out-executed and played harder than we did."
WVU (14-10, 6-7) trimmed the deficit to 37-35 on Christal Caldwell's 3-pointer, but Martin answered with a trey to launch a 10-2 spurt.
WVU's shooting decreased from 35.5 percent in the opening half to only 25.7 percent from the field. WVU finished the game shooting 30.3 percent (20-66). The Cowgirls experienced strong shooting from the start, with 55.2 percent (16-29) in the opening half, limiting the Mountaineers to only three points for the final 8:48 of the first half.
OSU finished the game shooting 48 percent (24-50) from the field, including three 3-pointers. The Mountaineers recorded 18 attempts from beyond the arc, making 27.8 percent (5-18).
Oklahoma State took a four-point advantage from the free throw line, capitalizing with 92.9 percent (13-14), while WVU shot 50 percent (9-18) from the charity stripe.
"You look at the hustle points, they out-scored us in the paint 26-18; points off turnovers, they had 20, we had 11; second chance points, they had 15, we had 11. That tells you right there. They just outhustled us and battled more than we did. It is tough and it is a shame," Carey said.
Two Mountaineers scored in double figures, led by Averee Fields with a career-best 21 points and eight rebounds. Christal Caldwell added another 16 points for her 18th double-digit scoring game this season.
Brittney Martin led OSU with a career-best 21 points. Tiffany Bias scored 14 points, and with two steals became the third Cowgirl to reach 1,000 points, 500 assists and 200 steals.
WVU returns to the road for a 1:30 p.m. matchup with Iowa State on Sunday in Ames. The game will be broadcast live on Fox Sports Net.

Purchased this product to enclose the fixture. It installed so easy - only took five minutes and works perfectly - great light, no insect nest problem, fits perfectly, The quality of the fixture is better than anything else I have looked at.

To our friends in NY: Get armed.
What could possibly go wrong? I continue to shake my head on a daily basis at some of the moves of this administration. Now, in this case, it is true that they are under pressure from the Obama administration on this issue. But, as the mayor of NYC correctly state, there are no services or funds available to make this new policy work. The Governor hasn't addressed the money needed or the services that money could provide. So we rushed a disaster of a gun bill through as fast as possible because we had to "do something" yet knowing that this was going to be a new policy, we've done nothing. No funding. No services. No chance that this is not going to be a disaster. While we hinder peoples rights to defend themselves, we release mentally ill people to the streets. Public safety will be at risk and the people that are mentally ill and need help do not get the services they need. Turning our backs on them is an inhumane and dangerous policy.

The Tonawanda News
Tonawanda News — Life returned this year to a long-vacant marina on River Road formerly housing the Niagara River Yacht Club, following $1.25 million in work and years of behind-the-scenes work.
While there's still more planned for a portion of the marina, as the city seeks to raise another $750,000 to dredge two additional bays and install new docking, a club house at the site has been leased to former North Tonawanda resident Carol Tallichet, who launched the Lumberjacks Patio Grill in July. The restaurant will operate seasonally.
The project began in Mayor Rob Ortt's first term, when he used about $100,000 acquired by his predecessor to conduct a feasibility study on the site, a move widely criticized as a waste of money, with the funds initially earmarked to refurbish the marina that sat vacant since 2005.
But in the end, Ortt said, the study paved the way for acquiring $1 million in federal and state funds.
In fact, about half of the $2 million required to complete the marina project as a whole came through grant money. Federal infrastructure funding sent $686,919 to the city, while another $300,000 came through the Niagara River Greenway Commission. The city bonded $361,350.
The money was put toward rebuilding a marina retaining wall, adding boats slips and docking, the construction of a public restroom and paving a new parking lot. Some electrical work was conducted by National Grid, while Tallichet spent an undisclosed amount to refurbish the clubhouse, including a new, wrap-around deck on the river.
More recently, with a $208,000 grant obtained last week through the Western New York Regional Economic Development Council, the next phase of the project is coming closer to reality.
For now, 20 boats may dock in the area around the restaurant during the summer months, while the first years of the restaurant's five-year lease with a 20-year option was deemed a success, officials said.
The city will maintain control of the property and collect a 5 percent share in fees related to boats docking there, while a new public restroom was completed in the hopes of attracting "transient" boaters, who may wish to remain in the city for an extended stay.
The start of the final phase of the project has yet to be determined.
THE LIST SO FAR • No. 10: Pavilion opens in Niawanda Park • No. 9: Carrousel museum gets a boost • No. 8: NT marina given new life

Championship week and the regionals are over -- the only thing left of the winter sports season are six teams' trips down the Thruway for the state championships in basketball.
There's a lot to look back on and a look to look forward to as we settle in for another chat tonight at 10.
As always, anything in the world of high school sports is up for discussion -- spring sports are practicing and there are even some big boys lacrosse games scheduled for next Saturday. If this weather holds up, the spring teams will be off to an early start. But I'm guessing this weather won't hold up :-).
If you won't be around for the chat, feel free to ask some questions in the comments section below and we'll tackle them during the session.
Here are some previous chats from the winter season: last chat (March 10), Feb. 24, Feb. 11, Feb. 3, Jan. 28, Jan. 20, Jan 14, Jan. 6, Dec. 15.

Learning to Make Jewelry
One of the many wonderful things about making jewelry is that it is, like any other hobby, an opportunity to learn something new. No matter your skill level or area of expertise, you will always find a new technique to learn, a new color palette to discover or a new bead or finding that changes the way you design. With that in mind, our designers have put together some lists of materials you will need - and their applications - to help you grow and learn.
Beginnings Beaders
- we've written an entire section on
Beading Basics
dedicated to getting you started right.
Intermediate Beaders:
Once you have mastered basic skills like stringing, basic wire wrapping and earring construction, you may want to learn something new. What would that be? When it comes to making jewelry, the possibilities can seem endless. You will know you are an intermediate level beader when you start seeing inspiration everywhere and you start looking to combine your different skills and techniques to create unique jewelry designs of your own. Here are a few products our designers recommend as you delve deeper into the world of beading:
Artistic Wire
. Artistic, or craft, wire has many uses. You can use it to create your own findings such as eye pins or jump rings. You can use it to create wire wrapped bracelets and
wire rings
and even
wire wrap pendants
. There are all kinds of fun
tools and supplies
to help you work with wire and it comes in many different colors and sizes, so you can find many great uses for it.
Chain by the Foot
. Working with chain can be very fun. It will open up many possibilities in what you can do with your designs. You can make charm or
drop beaded bracelets
, for example. You can make your own extender chains. You can make
chain earrings
. Make multi-stranded chain necklaces or bracelets. Make beaded sections that connect to chain. You really can do just about anything with chain by the foot!
Leather and Cording
. Leather can be used to make simple necklaces displaying a charm or pendant or it can be used for more complicated projects.
Rat tail
and satin cording can be used for things like Kumihimo or just as a simple stringing material. Once you have learned the techniques involved in basic beading and stringing, you will find working with other materials is very enjoyable and adds interest to your jewelry designs.
Fireline or Bead Thread
. From peyote stitches to right angle weave to an embellished ladder stitch, you will find yourself immersed in the wonderful world of bead weaving. Many are intimidated by it, but start with a few simple stitches and you might just discover that you thoroughly enjoy weaving and that its applications, techniques and uses seem endless.
Beading Needles
. If you are investing in beading thread, you will need needles. The assorted pack works well because it has size 10 and size 12 needles, so you will have the size you need for the project at hand.
Once you have mastered the basics and started exploring new techniques, tools and beads, you will start to find a style and discover new skill sets. This is when beading gets really fun!
Advanced Beaders:
When you know quite a bit about stitching and weaving, working with chain, miscellaneous stringing and wire wrapping techniques - and you know how to combine those into one great piece of jewelry - you are probably an advanced beader. Having said that, you have probably discovered that you are more advanced in some areas than others either because they make more sense to you or are just more interesting. Shanna, for example, would consider herself advanced in stitching and weaving techniques but more intermediate in working with wire. (Her first woven project was actually the
puffy heart pendant
, which is like skiing a black without ever taking a skiing lesson in your life and is NOT recommended!) It is perfectly normal to prefer certain things and not others. When you recognize that, you will want to become an "expert" at those things you enjoy. Subscribe to beading magazines that are specific to your interests. Watch
that teach you a new type of stitch or a new way to work with wire. Submit your designs to magazines, share them with friends and family, or sell them online or to a bead shop. Share your accomplishments - and creativity - with the world!

Jonathan Ferrell apparently knew the importance of an education and of working hard. He went to college and was working two jobs.
The 24-year-old former college gridironer apparently didnt know something we older black dudes know, though that running toward cops, even when possibly beseeching them for help, can be hazardous to ones health.
Just ask Randall Kerrick. Hes the Charlotte animal control officer-turned-cop who allegedly pumped 10 bullets into Ferrell as Ferrell approached the cops after wrecking his car.
I know its hard for some, but try to put yourself in Ferrells shoes, the shoes he apparently lost when he had to kick out the back window to escape his mangled Camry. You clamber barefooted away from a wreck, no doubt dazed but nonetheless glad to be alive, and knock on the door of the first house you see.
The frightened woman inside calls the cops. When they arrive, you breathe a sigh of relief and run toward the flashing blue lights, thinking they represent the cavalry and that theyre going to you know serve and protect you.
Ferrells familys attorney said no order to stop was issued before Kerrick began shooting. Charlotte Police Chief Rodney Monroe disputes that account.
Monroe said police are still reviewing the evidence to determine if it was actually an assault, or actually a man dying. He also described Ferrell as banging viciously at the womans door. Gee, how about frantically, chief?
Kerrick was the only officer of the three on scene to draw or fire his gun.
Understandable fear
No one should blame the woman who called police and said a robber was knocking on the door when Ferrell showed up, apparently seeking help. It would be nice to live in a world in which peoples first thought was What can I do for you? rather than What are you trying to do to me, but face it, homes: That ship sailed long ago. Thus, her apprehension was understandable.
Just last year, while visiting family in Washington, I was awakened around 2 one morning by banging on the front door. I looked out a window and saw a husky man standing on the porch. My first instinct, Im ashamed and disappointed to say even now, was fear and then to shout and ask the figure what he wanted. It took only a couple of seconds to realize that the big man banging furiously on the door was actually a big kid the chubby teenage boy who lived next door across an open lot.
You see, a car had crashed into no, through the side of his house as the family slept, and the terrified youngun had jumped out of bed and fled to the nearest neighbors house. Before I could open the door he ran away, presumably to seek help elsewhere.
He didnt run away, unfortunately, before I saw the terror in his eyes and felt the shame in my heart for not immediately sensing that he might be in distress.
Neither that woman in Charlotte nor am I trained to respond to crises. Kerrick and other Charlotte Mecklenburg police officers are or are supposed to be.
Most brothers over the age of 12 know the rule about not making sudden moves around cops. Sometimes, though, even grown men forget. A few years ago, my buddy Ed forgot when he was speeding down Hope Valley Road in Durham and a cop pulled us over. The consequences could have been deadly.
License and registration, please, the officer demanded firmly but courteously.
Ed, who had recently moved here from California, wanted to show the officer how eager he was to comply, so he reached with alacrity over me and toward his glove compartment.
Bad move. The officer jumped back and put his hand on his weapon, but didnt draw it. He wrote the speeding ticket we deserved and Ed drove off, with me in the passenger seat loosing vileness that is probably still floating around in the stratosphere.
Man, dont you know better than to jump like that when a cop is standing over you? was the only printable thing that issued forth from my mouth.
That officer, while cautious, didnt allow a misunderstanding to escalate into a lethal confrontation. Thank goodness.
No one can or should say, until the investigation is completed, whether Ferrell posed a threat to the armed officers, whether he as Kerrick said reached behind his back. Itll sure be interesting to find out what he couldve been reaching for, though, since he was unarmed.

The research behind the innovative Propane Energy Pod is extensive, detailed, and as up to the minute as possible. Carried out by Newport Partners, a Davidsonville, Md.-based research firm with a long history of work in the energy field, the numbers tell a distinct story.
In four different climate zones, two sizes of Propane Energy Pod homes and two sizes of "standard" homes (2,400 square feet and 3,600 square feet), both two-story, single-family detached plans, were compared in three areas: annual energy cost; annual CO2 emissions; and HERS Index scores.
In every case the Propane Energy Pod home outscored the standard home in all categories. The most noteworthy findings were as follows:
- In the Annual Energy Cost category, the 3,600-square-foot Propane Energy Pod home in a cold climate zone (Northeast) was projected to save residents more than $500 per year in energy costs.
- In the Annual CO2 Emissions category, the 3,600-square-foot Propane Energy Pod home in a cold climate zone (non-Northeast) came out the best with a savings of 11.29 metric tons of CO2 emissions.
- And in the HERS Index category, the 2,400-square-foot Propane Energy Pod home in a cold climate zone (non-Northeast) showed the biggest difference between scores. (The HERS Index is a system that measures the energy efficiency of a home on a scale of 0 to 100; the lower the score the better.) The Propane Energy Pod home's HERS Index was 67 compared to 86 for the standard home. In other words, the Propane Energy Pod home was 33 percent more efficient than a home built to code, while the standard home was only 14 percent more efficient.
All the comparison results are available here.
The Propane Energy Pod Interactive Tool, coming Summer of 2011
For those less inclined to do the math themselves, the Propane Energy Pod Interactive Tool (coming this summer) will allow users to compare the performance of a Propane Energy Pod home to a standard home built in their geographic area. A side-by-side comparison of the two homes will show exactly how much energy and emissions savings the Propane Energy Pod model can achieve by combining the individual benefits of efficient propane appliances.

---- — LAWRENCE — Three alleged armed robbers captured Friday night after barricading themselves inside a South Union Street convenience store worked with the city's public works department courtesy of an $800,000 anti-crime grant.
The trio, who are suspects in seven recent city armed robberies, were placed in the DPW to clean parks and pick up litter through the "Safe and Successful Youth Initiative Grant," officials confirmed last night.
The program is managed by Art McCabe in the city's Community Development Department. Two months ago, Michael Tesaun Alicea, 19, Richard Mora, 18, and Ruben Saldana, 18, started working at the DPW, said John Isensee, acting public works director.
Isensee said he was aware all three teens were part of the grant program "for at risk and troubled youth," he said. None of the men were paid with budgeted DPW funds, he said.
"As far as I was concerned they were free labor," Isensee said.
The grant program is designed to curb crime and violence committed by 18- to 24-year-olds, officials said when the $800,000 in federal money was awarded and the program unveiled last spring. Those in the program would clean the DPW yard on Auburn Street and pick up trash at various spots around Lawrence.
"Menial tasks at best," Isensee said.
The grant workers are not allowed to drive DPW vehicles and their supervisors are Joel Chalas, DPW street foreman and former city recycling director, and Jorge Jaime, DPW parks foreman and former receptionist to Mayor William Lantigua. McCabe said they were scheduled to work 24 hours weekly, arriving at the city yard at 7 a.m. to start their shifts.
Every young man in the program is referred through the trial court system or state social services agencies said McCabe, adding Lantigua has no influence over who gets into the program or where they are assigned to work.
"He's been extraordinarily supportive and has never tried to influence anything we've done," McCabe said last night.
Alicea, Mora and Saldana were "actually doing reasonably well" in the program, McCabe said.
"I'm actually kind of stunned. In the past week, we just put together a life plan with one of the these kids. He seemed really into it," McCabe said.
Isensee said it's not unusual for the DPW to welcome such workers. In the past, the department has worked with county jail inmates and juveniles and adults on probation referred through the trial court.
"We will take anybody. We are that desperate," Isensee said.
The grant money was earmarked to help 80 young men with criminal records or known to be members of gangs. They are provided job training, GED classes and anger management counseling. McCabe, during the unveiling ceremony last spring, said the goal was to bring stability to the young men's lives.
Friday night, after barricading themselves in the convenience store, police said Alicea, Mora and Saldana tried to shoot their way out of a locked back door, but failed and surrendered when police surrounded the 280 So. Union St. market.
Police are still looking for a suspected getaway driver who was seen pulling away in a maroon, four-door, American-made car, possibly an Oldsmobile, when police arrived.
Alicea has also been charged in a Jan. 9 robbery. A man said he was robbed of $300 when he arranged through Facebook to meet someone to buy an iPhone.
Tomorrow, Alicea, Mora and Saldana will be arraigned in Lawrence District Court on the following charges: armed and masked robbery, kidnapping, unlawful possession of a firearm, discharge of a firearm within 500 feet of a dwelling and unlawful possession of ammunition.

Myelomeningocele is a birth defect in which the backbone and spinal canal do not close before birth. The condition is a type of spina bifida.
Spina bifida; Cleft spine
Normally, during the first month of a pregnancy, the two sides of the spine (or backbone) join together to cover the spinal cord, spinal nerves and meninges (the tissues covering the spinal cord). Spina bifida refers to any birth defect involving incomplete closure of the spine.
Myelomeningocele is the most common type of spina bifida. It is a neural tube defect in which the bones of the spine do not completely form, resulting in an incomplete spinal canal. This causes the spinal cord and meninges (the tissues covering the spinal cord) to stick out of the child's back.
Myelomeningocele may affect as many as 1 out of every 800 infants.
The rest of spina bifida cases are most commonly:
Other congenital disorders or birth defects may also be present in a child with myelomeningocele. Hydrocephalus may affect as many as 90% of children with myelomeningocele. Other disorders of the spinal cord or musculoskeletal system may be seen, including syringomyelia and hip dislocation.
The cause of myelomeningocele is unknown. However, low levels of folic acid in a woman's body before and during early pregnancy is thought to play a part in this type of birth defect. The vitamin folic acid (or folate) is important for brain and spinal cord development.
Also, if a child is born with myelomeningocele, future children in that family have a higher risk than the general population. However, in many cases, there is no family connection.
Some theorize that a virus make play a role, since there is a higher rate of this condition in children born in the early winter months. Research also indicates possible environmental factors such as radiation.
A newborn may have a sac sticking out of the mid to lower back. The doctor cannot see through the sac when shining a light behind it. Symptoms include:
Other symptoms may include:
Prenatal screening can help diagnose this condition. During the second trimester, pregnant women can have a blood test called the quadruple screen
. This test screens for myelomeningocele, Down syndrome, and other congenital diseases in the baby. Most women carrying a baby with spina bifida will have a higher-than-normal levels of a protein called maternal alpha fetoprotein (AFP).
If the quadruple screen test is positive, further testing is needed to confirm the diagnosis. Such tests may include:
Myelomeningocele can be seen after the child is born. A neurologic examination may show that the child has loss of nerve-related functions below the defect. For example, watching how the infant responds to pinpricks at various locations may reveal where he or she can feel the sensations.
Tests done on the baby after birth may include x-rays, ultrasound, CT, or MRI of the spinal area.
Genetic counseling may be recommended. In some cases where severe defect is detected early in the pregnancy, a therapeutic abortion may be considered.
After birth, surgery to repair the defect
is usually recommended at an early age. Before surgery, the infant must be handled carefully to reduce damage to the exposed spinal cord. This may include special care and positioning, protective devices, and changes in the methods of handling, feeding, and bathing.
Children who also have hydrocephalus may need a ventricular peritoneal shunt
placed. This will help drain the extra fluid.
Antibiotics may be used to treat or prevent infections such as meningitis or urinary tract infections.
Most children will require lifelong treatment for problems that result from damage to the spinal cord and spinal nerves. This includes:
Follow-up examinations generally continue throughout the child's life. These are done to check the child's developmental level and to treat any intellectual, neurological, or physical problems.
Visiting nurses, social services, support groups, and local agencies can provide emotional support and assist with the care of a child with a myelomeningocele who has significant problems or limitations.
See: Spina bifida resources
A myelomeningocele can usually be surgically corrected. With treatment, length of life is not severely affected. Neurological damage is often irreversible.
New problems within the spinal cord can develop later in life, especially after the child begins growing rapidly during puberty. This can lead to more loss of function as well as orthopedic problems such as scoliosis, foot or ankle deformities, dislocated hips, and joint tightness or contractures.
Many patients with myelomeningocele primarily use a wheelchair.
This list may not be all inclusive.
Call your health care provider if:
Folic acid supplements may help reduce the risk of neural tube defects such as myelomeningocele. It is recommended that any woman considering becoming pregnant take 0.4 mg of folic acid a day. Pregnant women need 1 mg per day.
It is important to remember that folic acid deficiencies must be corrected before becoming pregnant as the defects develop very early.
Prospective mothers may be screened to determine the amount of folic acid in their blood.

Was this a gift?:
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Okay so, let's face it. All the good, unique costumes are almost always uncomfortable. Well this mask is opposite. This mask is awesome, and it is comfortable. It is extremely unique and people WILL notice you - even if you only have the mask - trust me. I put on the mask with only a nice, long sleeve black button-down shirt and nice black dress pants and a dark red tie. Man, everybody loved my mask and one person even took a picture with me (I did not know this person). Really, there aren't any cons at all of this mask.

Predicting Church Conflict
There are predictable moments in a church's life when conflict is more likely to surface. Here are the top 10 predictable times for conflict as identified by church conflict guru, Speed Leas .
1. The Easter Season—Typically one of the busiest seasons in the life of the church, expectations are high and conflict can arise over music, preaching, childcare, or even doctrinal issues.
2. Stewardship Campaigns or Budget Preparation—Issues can surface not only between staff members and the church board during this time, but volunteers and church members often end up in conflict when it comes to money matters.
Kids LOVE these Sunday School resources!
3. Adding Staff—The addition of a new personality, work ethic, and vision can rattle the cage of the status quo.
4. Changes in Leadership Style—Pastors and leaders go through different seasons in their approach to leadership techniques and styles. If the change is drastic or uncomfortable for some, it can lead to conflict.
5. Absences—When key leaders are away from the office such as on sabbatical or vacation, tensions can rise as well as conflict among those left in charge during a leader's absence.
6. A Change in the Pastor's Family—Whether it's a new baby or a teenager in crisis, family changes can pull a pastor's time away from the flock, which can result in feelings ranging from tension to disappointment.
7. Significant Generational Changes—When a sudden influx of young families emerges in an older congregation, it can unsettle the church. Or when a young pastor suddenly has to manage an older team, it can create stress all around.
8. Completion of a New Building—Your congregation put a lot of time and money into a beautiful new facility…and not everything's perfect—conflict brews even in celebration.
9. Rapid Membership Changes—Whether attendance quickly grows or wanes, conflict can grow under the pressure and effects of number changes.
10. Between Pastors—When there's a change in leadership, there can be tension among others outside of leadership as they jockey for power or influence.
