James Bright, Managing Editor, firstname.lastname@example.com
The Express-Star
The South Central Oklahoma Oil Province is not unique. There are shale deposits across the nation, which up until a decade ago held billions of barrels of petroleum and natural gas that were unobtainable.
Energy companies across the world are lining up in North Dakota, Pennsylvania, Texas and many other states to lease and purchase mineral rights from governmental bodies and private citizens alike in addition to what is happening here. All plan to harvest this newly available energy.
Grady County is certainly not alone in this new era of energy excavation and that is something to be thankful for.
Ward Heidbreder, city coordinator for Stanley North Dakota experienced the same sort of excitement and development six years ago as Grady County is now.
"The workforce with hydraulic fracturing is immense," he said. "We saw a huge change in traffic and the amount of work force necessary for hydraulic fracturing."
Excavating the Bakken oil shelf, - a shale deposit similar to the SCOOP - caused a huge boom in most of central and southwestern North Dakota.
This area also deals with a lack of available water, similar to Grady County.
"Water is always in huge demand for drilling," he said. "We have quite a few irrigation wells that were re-purposed and purchased by energy companies to run water to different rig sites."
Heidbreder said Grady County could see the same sort of increase in farm land purchase for water resources too.
The town's population boomed as well, according to Heidbreder.
"We've actually seen our population triple in five years," he said. "Our existing infrastructure had to grow to accommodate."
Groceries and gasoline were hard to find for awhile said Heidbreder, but he said the economic benefits far outweighed any of the problems caused by the influx.
"Our economy has been well above the national average for the last three years," he said. "In a neighboring community, they have started flying staff in from Wisconsin as a rotational work force for a hardware store."
The excavation of the Bakken will lead to anywhere between 15 and 30 years of sustained growth Heidbreder said.
"After that time period we will go into permanent production," he said. "Wells that were drilled will need maintenance work. The big push in this area now, will be to become more efficient in drilling practices."
The sustained growth has a lot to do with the energy industry's ability to stay current with the economy Heidbreder noted. He said wages in the oil industry have gone up to combat the increase in housing costs.
"The new workforce drives the cost of homes higher," he said.
The substantial increase in energy wages caused a drop in enrollment at local colleges, Heidbreder said.
"Why spend $80,000 on tuition when you can make that the first nine months out in the field," he said.
The salary increases have caused some negative impacts in Stanley too.
"We have also seen a large increase in alcohol related offenses," he said. "I attribute that to the workforce being young males with little or no entertainment options that are making six-figure salaries."
This may not be as big an issue for Grady County though, according to Heidbreder, since Stanley does not have communities like Oklahoma City, Norman or even Chickasha close by.
Increases in local retail and dining options far outweigh the negatives, said Heidbreder.
New energy offices, trucking companies and other oil field businesses have opened all over Stanley in the last six years, as well as several new banks.
"Most of the banks here were hitting their deposit limits that were insured by the FDIC," he said. "A lot of banks went up very quickly to combat that problem."
Grady County is still a little ways away from seeing the sort of massive changes Stanley has experienced, but Heidbreder said the county's youth will let everyone know when the area's identity and livelihood has transformed.
"Kids are usually the least acceptable to a change in demographics," he said. "My kids were the first to point out that we weren't quite the same town we started out as."
Regardless, the change is coming, and as companies continue to lease and buy mineral rights all over Grady County, it is likely that this area will mimic what Heidbreder and North Dakotans have seen.
"It's up to local original population to make it work," he said. "The key is to just embrace the growth."

For the last six months, Jessica Peachman's husband worked overtime at his car mechanic job so he could help send his wife on her dream vacation.
The $8,000 that the couple eventually cobbled together wouldn't deliver Peachman to the shores of Fiji, the Eiffel Tower or DisneyWorld. Instead, the money allowed the 25-year-old to fly 7,500 miles from her native Australia to downtown Los Angeles, where this past weekend she and hundreds of others spent four nights sleeping in flimsy tents anxiously awaiting Monday night's world premiere of the fifth and final "Twilight" movie.

Though we don't know for sure what was on the table, we're made aware who Steve Yzerman wasn't willing to give up to move up.
When a team is losing habitually, it must first be brought to the league.
It's simply idle speculation, but would an NHL team have the the testicular fortitude to try to nab not one but two of the top prospects in the 2013 NHL draft?
What makes a draft bust? Is it overreaching by the drafting team, or is it a player's failure to meet his pre-draft hype through the whole of his career? Or perhaps a combination of both?
This is one of the unfortunate things we can't shake (yet) of the Atlanta Thrashers' legacy: Don Waddell's ineptitude. I have to say, Scott Reynolds was merciful in ignoring the Hainsey and Antropov contracts, yet Waddell still won convincingly. He was also merciful in not looking at some of Waddell's atrocious choices for head coach, or the maintenance of a pretty rough scouting department. As a Winnipeg fan, I'm sorry to Atlanta fans that it turned out this way. You all got a raw deal, and deserved better.
Rick Dudley presided over the Lightning's draft from 1999 until 2001. Of the 33 players selected during that time, only one was playing in the NHL by 2009-10.
The playoffs are almost upon us and things haven't really been looking particularly swell for the Stars since Brad Richards' ridiculous 5 point debut.This is one of the strongest Stars teams in...

Obama Names Denis McDonough as Chief of Staff
Deputy national security adviser is the latest in a string of white males to be promoted.
Update, Jan. 25: As expected, President Barack Obama Friday named Denis McDonough, formerly a top national security adviser for Obama, as his new chief-of-staff.
The president said since his early political career he has relied on McDonough's "intellect and good judgment."
"He's been one of my closest and most trusted advisers," Obama said during the Friday announcement. "The truth is, no one outworks Denis McDonough. In addition to being an incredible talent and a hard worker, Denis is also a pretty humble guy. To so many of his friends and admirers, he's still just the dude from Stillwater, Minn."
McDonough won the job because of his intellect, experience, dedication and determination, Obama said.
Original post:
Another day, another white man apparently heading for a promotion in President Obama's inner circle.
This time it's Denis McDonough, the current deputy national security adviser who is expected to be chosen by Obama as the new White House chief of staff.
The move is likely to renew concerns about a lack of diversity at the top levels of the administration. Earlier, Obama drew criticism from feminists and liberals when he named four other white men to senior jobs: Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts as secretary of state, former Sen. Chuck Hagel as secretary of defense, counterterrorism adviser John Brennan as director of central intelligence, and current White House Chief of Staff Jack Lew as secretary of the treasury.
[READ: Obama Criticized for Lack of Diversity in Cabinet Appointments]
The Kerry nomination was particularly troubling to diversity advocates because, if confirmed as expected by the Senate, he would replace Hillary Clinton, one of the most popular and influential women ever to serve in government.
Obama has said that criticizing him for lack of diversity is premature because he has not finished picking his senior advisers for a second term. He also noted that he has already named a number of women to his administration, including Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius. His two choices for the Supreme Court have been women, and one of his closest White House confidantes is senior adviser Valerie Jarrett.
In picking McDonough, one of his favorite staffers, Obama would show a preference for people he has worked with closely and with whom he has a strong comfort level. The other main contender for the job, Ron Klain, was not as close to the president. Klain had been chief of staff to Vice President Joe Biden. Earlier in his career, Klain had been chief of staff to Vice President Al Gore.
[PHOTOS: Obama Behind the Scenes]
Obama's apparent decision to promote McDonough also may signal a second-term desire by the president to emphasize foreign policy, which is McDonough's strength.

In mid-August 2009, his $35 million aliens-as-boatpeople picture, "District 9," flew out of nowhere to score $213 million in global ticket sales. On Aug. 8, the film's writer-director is back with another socially conscious sci-fier, "Elyisum," but this time the budget is far bigger ($120 million-plus) and the cast more star-studded (Matt Damon and Jodie Foster). Add in tens of millions more in P&A costs, and "Elysium" probably needs to gross about three times what "District 9" did to also qualify as a runaway hit.
For Sony, whose brass is enthusiastic about the prospects for the pic, "Elysium" is a chance to redeem its summer slate after two costly disappointments, "After Earth" and "White House Down." But it's also a significant bet on a filmmaker who has no track record with this scale of moviemaking.
Doug Belgrad, president of Sony's Columbia Pictures label, says the studio felt confident in Blomkamp's ability to pull off the production, with its guidance. "Allowing Neill to pursue his vision doesn't mean we were absentee. We were very involved with him in the making of the movie and in the finishing of the movie," the executive says.
"Elysium" pushes the "99% vs. 1%" conflict to a fantastical extreme. In the year 2154, most of the human race swelters on an overpopulated Earth, but the elites live an idyllic life on an orbiting space station dubbed "Elysium," which is off-limits to all but the privileged. Damon plays a doomed Earthbound worker who can save his own life, and those of millions of others, if he can overcome the space station's defenses.
SEE MORE: Matt Damon Saves the World in New 'Elysium' Trailer (VIDEO)
"'Elysium' in a certain sense, isn't a science fiction film," Blomkamp says. "It's a film about contemporary Earth. It's just showing it to you differently." He credits Modi Wiczyk, co-CEO of Media Rights Capital, and Sony Pictures topper Amy Pascal for biting on his story pitch. He then developed the story with MRC.
MRC, says Wiczyk, works with filmmakers to estimate a budget. "We went back to him and said, 'Look, we think this is a range you want to be in,' " says Wiczyk, noting the projected costs were between $120 million and $125 million. MRC, which did not co-finance the film but gets a cut after the studio breaks even, also gives its filmmakers (including Blomkamp on "Elysium") a piece of their profit on pictures, which incentivizes them to control costs.
Blomkamp, who has made dozens of commercials but had never directed a feature with a major star, admits being nervous over the demands that Damon and Foster might bring. But he was surprised at how collaborative they were.
SEE MORE: Blomkamp's 'Elysium' Imagines Gritty Future
"It wasn't really about (them overwhelmingly injecting) their process into mine," he says. "I feel pretty lucky about the way that that turned out."
In production, Blomkamp told his department heads to approach this picture with the same lean-and-mean outlook they had on "District 9." Consequently, the cost per shooting day on "Elysium" was nearly comparable to that of "District 9." Blomkamp's experience with animation and visual effects also helped keep costs down. Wiczyk says Blomkamp excelled at knowing which shots required "the Tiffany approach" and where he could settle for something beautiful but less detailed.
Blomkamp's interest in socially conscious science fiction is a stark contrast with the escapist superhero fare that dominates the summer box office. Sony wasn't looking over the creatives' shoulders every day. Blomkamp shielded his team from interference, and in turn credits producer Simon Kinberg and MRC for keeping the process "respectful of what the film should be."
The result: The director says he didn't feel the weight of added expectations every day at work -- though he knew what was at stake. "I was aware there's more money riding on it," Blomkamp says. "I know the risk I'm taking as a filmmaker, where if the thing goes down or it doesn't really work with audiences, I'm going to be in trouble trying to get my next film made. But that was the only different pressure, I guess, and that was kind of self-imposed."

British rock band the Beatles are shown during rehearsals on the set of the "Ed Sullivan Show" in New York, Feb. 9, 1964. On drums is Ringo Starr, singer and bassist is Paul McCartney, left, guitarist is John Lennon, and at center, standing in for George Harrison is an unidentified studio worker.
Unpublished early color photographs of The Beatles' first U.S. tour will be sold at a U.K. auction.
The photos were taken during the rock band's 1964 visit to the U.S., when color film was expensive and most images of the group were in black and white.
The collection of 65 slides contains many stage shots, including George Harrison with his legendary red Rickenbacker guitar and close-up portraits from a Las Vegas Sahara Hotel press conference and Las Vegas Convention Centre gig.
The images were taken by Dr. Robert Beck, who died in 2002 and left them in an archive of photographs and slides in his Hollywood home.
Omega Auctions said Sunday the images will be sold March 22 — exactly 50 years after The Beatles released their first album.

CHARLOTTE, N.C -- Druid Hills Elementary School second grader Anyiah Millner has done reports on a computer in class, but didn't have a computer to work on at home, until now.
"It's going to be a lot different. I bet my mom and dad will ask if they can see it and look at something," she said.
Millner and her classmates all got laptops to take home courtesy of Project LIFT, a public-private partnership that aims to boost achievement at traditionally low achieving schools.
The students will get to keep the XO computers and they'll be encouraged to share with their siblings and parents.
But the kids aren't the only ones benefiting from Project LIFT. Teachers at nine area westside schools will be eligible for bonuses in the fall.
The bonuses range from $2,500 to as much as $23,000 for lead teachers who will oversee as many as 400 students.
Second grade teacher Lindsey Jackson is new to Druid Hills. She recently received a gift card from Project LIFT for perfect attendance. She had no idea she had done anything special.
"I was just doing what I'm supposed to do," she said.
But Jackson says the rewards and incentives being offered by Project LIFT are getting attention.
"A lot of people are now interested in coming to this zone," she said.
Jackson's students are ahead of grade level. If she sticks with it, the Druid Hills teacher could be eligible for a $2,500 bonus next year.
"I think it's done a lot for Project LIFT and it's put teachers in competition with each other. Who can do the best? Who can have the most growth because we're fighting for rewards too."
She calls it a healthy competition.
"It's good for the kids. It's good for us," she said.

Christian Hoard's "Christian Rock" new music pick this week is Kate Nash's My Best Friend Is You. The 22-year-old British singer's 2008 album went platinum in the U.K. and showed off her cockney accent, witty piano pop and general English cheekiness. The new album is more expansive, confident and simply better. Nash is a tuneful hurricane of TMI, flipping between insecurity and chutzpah as she sings about stinky feet and threatens to do bad things to a boyfriend if he makes out with another woman. On one of Hoard's favorite tracks, "I Just Love You More," Nash tries out a heavy PJ Harvey vibe. Though she gets compared to Lily Allen, Nash doesn't make political statements like Allen did on her most recent disc, and seems kookier in general. Hoard argues Best Friend may be the most tuneful album we get from the U.K. this year.
To read Nash's take on making the record check out Kate Nash Talks My Best Friend Is You.

Police busted a well-known Fort Greene business owner Thursday night for allegedly selling marijuana out of his Lafayette Avenue convenience store, cops said.
Ralph Jawad, 48—called "Mayor of the Block" by many longtime Fort Greene residents—is in custody on several charges involving a stash of drugs and at least one weapon at his deli at 89 Lafayette Ave. near South Portland Ave., police said.
A nearby resident said he saw a "couple of cops" on Thursday night walking into Jawad's business—known in the neighborhood as Lafayette Ave. Meat Corp. or, just simply, Ralph's Deli.
"At that point, there did not seem to be any urgency to the situation," he said. "People were shaking hands and being friendly."
A search warrant was issued and cops arrested Jawad 7:35 p.m., according to authorities.
Jawad was charged with criminal possession of a controlled substance with intent to sell, criminial possession of a weapon, criminal possession of marijuana, intent to sell marijuana and unlawful possession of marijuana.
A longtime Fort Greene resident lingering outside the shuttered deli on Friday called Jawad "a good guy" who in her 35 years of living in the neighborhood was always ready to help someone in need.
"If there was somebody was hungry, he would feed him," she said.

"The divine word and wisdom became human, and made itself at home among us." So begins the Prologue to John's gospel, with a far loftier and esoteric version of Jesus' nativity than any birth in a barnyard. But more so, John's introduction to a good news gospel reaches across the ages to not only give new meanings to the words he uses to describe the incarnate word of God; but gives fresh insight into some of our own vernacular, and how we might even redefine Christ's mass ourselves.read more
There's two sides to every story, and there's often some good news and bad news. Is the Gospel all good news? That depends. This Advent commentary considers the implications of rethinking and retelling the Christmas story.read more
A look at how Christians today still want the kind of physical power Messiah that the Jews hoped for and who will change the world for us, when the actual need is for a spiritual change within ourselves and for us to respond to a vision and a challenge.read more
The underlying assumption in this study of Luke (and eventually Acts and the authentic letters of Paul) is that Luke wrote his gospel and his account of the Acts of the Apostles as a subversive counter to Roman oppression, and the Roman imperial theology that proclaimed Cesar (whether Augustus or Tiberias) as the son of God. The voice of John the Baptist screamed from the edges of civilization about "repentance" until Herod Antipas had had enough.read more
In a parody of the story of Caesar's birth, Jesus of Nazareth was heralded by angels, and born of a virgin. We can still hope for direct action against oppressive Empire and for distributive justice-compassion; against a greed world and for a share world; against zero-sum gaming of every system devised by humanity, and for a radical abandonment of self-interest.read more

The question that I ask is, in this rapidly changing world, where has the church been and where will it be in the future? What we do know is that in the sixties, some clergy were in the streets, marching for civil rights but it was a small percentage. Many of them lost their churches as a result. More clergy preached about what they thought Jesus would want us to do about the Vietnam War, and their actions caused one of the largest exoduses in church history. Clergy learned that there were consequences in taking a conscientious stand. Today they are learning that lesson all over again when taking a stand for full inclusion for gays and lesbians in the life of the church. And, based on my limited survey, most of them are "tip-toeing" around the Occupiers protests. Denominations are once again being split by righteousness.read more
We can usefully consider the problem posed by the Bible for theologians and church leaders under three categories: the world behind the text, the world within the text, and the world in front of the text.read more
Do we need Jesus? I still do not know how to answer that. But I am pretty confident the modern secular world would not be as good as it is if it were not for the original input from Jesus of Nazareth. In any case, should we not rather be asking – Do we need to love our enemies?read more
A New Story is beginning to emerge, the foundation of which is The Universe Story. You are a child of the Universe. Everyone of whatever race, colour or creed is a child of the Universe. It is the great uniting story, of which I have written many times.read more

The question of the historicity of Jesus' resurrection has been repeatedly probed, investigated and debated. And the results have varied widely. Perhaps some now regard this issue as the burned-over district of New Testament scholarship. Could there be any new and promising approach to this problem? Yes, answers Michael Licona.read more
For millennia the world has been driven by the differences between the great patriarchal religions. Western civilization–or Christendom, as it was once called–received its values and its confidence from a belief in God, the Father, and Jesus, his only son. But what if this conviction were founded on an error?read more
* How did monotheistic Jews of the early church come to see Jesus as a part of the unique identity of Israel's God? Offering an alternative to "functional" and "ontic" Christology, Bauckham convincingly argues that the divine identity—who God truly is—can be witnessed in Jesus' humiliation, suffering, death, and resurrection.read more

Pulmonary Function Tests (PFT)
Pulmonary function tests (also called lung function tests) help measure how well your lungs are working. A PFT can be performed on an adult or a child. The tests measure the amount of air you breathe out (exhale) and how long it takes for you to exhale completely. These tests are done to diagnose lung conditions such as asthma and COPD. They may be done before and after you take certain medications. They may also be used to find out whether your shortness of breath gets worse with exercise. Over time, pulmonary function tests can help you and your healthcare providers see how well your treatment is working.
Patient Experience
A complete pulmonary function test has 3 parts. You may be given the entire test or only certain parts. The entire test is painless and can last 45–90 minutes. If you get tired, you can take a break between test sections.
Before The Test
Follow any instructions you are given to prepare for the test. Otherwise, your test may be canceled.
— Stop smoking for 8–12 hours before the test.
— Stop taking your breathing medication 4–24 hours before the test.
— Avoid caffeine and eat only a light meal. Also, limit the amount of fluids you drink.
— Wear loose clothes that don't restrict your breathing.
Tell the healthcare provider if you have any of these symptoms during the test:
— Sore mouth
— Chest, arm, or jaw pain
— Fatigue or dizziness
— Severe shortness of breath
During The Test
The healthcare provider will coach you during your test. Depending on how many parts of the test you have, you may sit in a chair and breathe through a mouthpiece. Or you may sit in a clear plastic box that looks like a phone booth. You will wear nose clips so you only breathe through your mouth.
— During spirometry, you hold your breath and blow it out fast. Spirometry is repeated at least 3 times to measure your best effort.
— During diffusion, you hold your breath for 10 seconds. The test measures how well your lungs move air into your blood.
— During lung volume, you breathe in different mixtures of air. How much air you inhale and exhale is measured. The amount of air that stays in your lungs is also measured.
After The Test
After the test, you can return to your normal diet, activity, and medications. If you were asked to skip medications before the test, ask if you should take them now. Your doctor will discuss the test results with you at your next visit.
Words You May Hear
Pulmonary function tests measure how much air you can exhale, and how quickly. There are several types of pulmonary function graphs that show data from the tests. Some of the things that tests measure include:
— FVC (forced vital capacity). This is the total amount of air you can exhale in a single, prolonged breath.
— FEV1 (forced expiratory volume in one second). This is the amount of air you exhale in the first second. FEV1 is often expressed as a percentage of FVC.
— FEV1/FVC. This is the amount of air exhaled in the first second compared to the total amount of air exhaled. It's given as a ratio (fraction) or a percentage. In general, the higher the FEV1/FVC, the better.
PEF (peak expiratory flow): this is a measure of how fast you can exhale. It can be tested with spirometry or a peak flow meter.
What Is a Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program?
Pulmonary rehabilitation (rehab) is a program that helps you breathe better and improves your overall health and strength. The program is run by a team of medical professionals who are specially trained to treat people with lung disease. With the team's help, you'll learn about your condition and gain skills to help you manage it.
Program Features
Parts of a pulmonary rehab program include:
— Exercise to help you increase endurance, strength, and flexibility. You may walk, ride a stationary bike, or do exercises in a chair. You will be taught stretches to do before and after exercise. You may also use weights to build strength. Your pulse, heart rate, and oxygen levels may be checked during exercise.
— Education, including how the lungs work and how your lung problem affects your breathing.
— Medication and equipment education, such as how and when to take medications, and how to use oxygen (if prescribed).
— Breathing techniques to help you learn to control shortness of breath. These include pursed-lip and diaphragmatic breathing.
Program Benefits
You'll be surprised at how much you can achieve! Pulmonary rehab will help you:
— Do more of the things you enjoy.
— Improve your strength, endurance, and independence.
— Do daily activities, such as household tasks, with less shortness of breath.
— Understand your symptoms and medications. This can mean fewer emergency room visits and less time in the hospital.
— Learn to relax and not panic when you feel short of breath.
— Quit smoking. Even now, this is the most important change you can make for your health.
— Get answers to your healthcare questions.
— Set and meet realistic goals.

Harry Huffaker
From OpenwaterpediaDr. Harry Huffaker is an American open water swimmer who was inducted in the International Marathon Swimming Hall of Fame in 2011 as an Honour Swimmer. The dentist from Michigan represents the very best of the open water swimming community who was recognized for his unprecedented adventures and world-class exploits in the channels of the Hawaiian Islands.
Dr. Huffaker is a true pioneer in ocean swimming the dangerous channels in Hawaii. Throughout his illustrious career in the pre-GPS era, he has faced sharks up close, jellyfish, massive ocean swells and extremely strong currents during unprecedented swims in the tropical waters of Hawaii.
During his 1967 Molokai Channel swim, Dr. Huffaker saw a large shark underneath him and immediately headed for his escort boat, but the shark then swam between him and his boat, which was too far away for an easy escape. He continued on and ultimately reached his goal after 16 hours.
Dr. Huffaker was the first person to cross the 30-mile Alenuihaha Channel in 20 hours between the Big Island of Hawaii and Maui in 1970 after his initial failure of 17 hours. He crossed the Molokai Channel from Molokai to Oahu in 1967 and was the first person to cross between Oahu to Molokai in 1972 after a failed 20-hour attempt when he ran into strong currents, a tiger shark and a brood of Portuguese man o war.
At the age of 50 in 1989, he swam from Lanai to Maui, then Maui to Molokai, then attempted to complete his final Molokai-to-Maui leg before being pulled after 18 hours. He has swum the Maui Channel three times, was the first person to cross the 9.3-mile Kalohi Channel (1989) from Molokai to Lanai and crossed the 8.5-mile Palilolo Channel from Maui to Molokai (1989).
He spoke at the 2012 Global Open Water Swimming Conference and the International Marathon Swimming Hall of Fame induction ceremonies on the RMS Queen Mary on 22 September 2012 in Long Beach, California.

Making and Canning Blackberry Pie Filling
- Details
- Published on March 15 2011
- Written by David Blackburn (All Rights Reserved)
This blackberry pie filling recipe is easy to make and can at home. If not canning or to test the recipe, use one quart recipe instructions to make one blackberry pie and substitute the ClearJel® with flour. See note below for alternative to using ClearJel®.
Always select blemish free blackberries. We always prefer organic fruit without pesticides.
Note: There are four cups in a quart. Measurements are made before blackberries are boiled and softened, which will reduce the volume of the blackberries before canning. Quantites will vary depending on the size of the blackberries and their water content. For 7 quart canners, we recommend using the 8 quart recipe and then using any leftovers to make a pie or tart.
ClearJel® is recommended by the USDA as a thickener for canned pie filling. ClearJel® is a modified cornstarch, which does not break down in acid food mixtures and does not thicken enough during heat processing to interfere with the intended effect of the heat on killing bacteria during canning. It is preferred for thickening canned pie fillings as well as other foods over other corn starches because it has less or no aftertaste and leaves the thickened juices smooth and clear.
As an alternative to using ClearJel®, you may can the pie filling without the thickener and add flour in after opening using one of two methods;
- Bring the pie filling and flour to a simmer, stirring constantly until it has simmered five minutes and then bake pie as instructed on the following page.
- Or, heat equal parts of butter and flour in the microwave until the butter is melted. Mix well and then stir it into the pie filling before baking.

- Wash blackberries in batches of no more than two quarts.
- If you wish to remove the seeds, process the blackberries through a food mill or sieve first.
- Combine water, sugar and ClearJel® in a large, heavy pan and slowly bring to a boil, stirring continuously until it begins to thicken.
- Add lemon juice, fold in blackberries and bring up to simmer. Simmer for 5 minutes until fruit begins to soften and then can immediately.
- Canning using hot pack method with 1" of headspace.
- Processing with a Water Bath for 30 minutes for quart jars, at 212 degrees.
- For elevations above 1,000 foot level see Altitude Time Adjustments.
- After processing, place the jars on a towel, separated by 1" to cool.
- Labeling and Storing
We recommend including baking instructions on canning jar labels.
- After opening, bake a covered or uncovered pie, using a 9" pie crust. For uncovered, place dabs of butter on top of the fruit. Optionally, you may mix in 1/2 cup heavy cream to the pie filling after opening and before baking.
- Bake at 425° F for 1/2 hour and then reduce temperature to 350° and bake 1/2 hour longer.
This recipe is adapted from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Complete Guide to Home Canning and Preserving.
Equipment Needed:
- Waterbath canner
- Lifting tool
- Canning funnel
- Large stove-top pot
- *Jars and lids
- Clean Cloth Towels
- Paper towels
- *See manufacturer's instructions

Even people who've never set foot in Stadium High School have strong emotional ties to it.
Andrea Harrington's college roommate once watched "10 Things I Hate About You," the 1999 movie with scenes filmed in Tacoma.
"Don't watch it, it makes my heart hurt," Harrington recalled telling her roommate.
It did so because Heath Ledger's long hair and heavy Australian accent in the movie reminded her of a man she dated before he moved back to India.
An Indian of British descent, Luke Davidson came to Pullman for Bible school. She was attending the University of Idaho. They met at church.
After his year of study, he returned to India and they remained friends. Four and a half years later, he was back in the States, and they were back together.
Harrington could tell a marriage proposal was imminent, but she had no idea when.
Davidson was talking with a friend from Pullman who had moved back to her hometown, Tacoma. They were brainstorming proposals. He wanted to do something outrageous, like sing "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" in front of a marching band – just like in the movie.
"I said, 'you know where that happened? Here in Tacoma,' " the friend, Carrie Case, said. "He had no clue that it was actually here."
They made secret preparations, with a lot of help from the school and alumni. Timing was tricky because of the renovation.
In May, the couple came to visit Case and her husband in Tacoma. The girls went out for a day of shopping. Case mentioned the movie and offered to drive by the school on the way to meet up with the guys.
"Oh, my gosh, there's a band there, just like in the movie," Harrington recalls saying as they approached the bowl. The Stadium High School marching band was on the rim. Because of construction liability they couldn't go in the bowl, but they could certainly still be heard.
There was her love, wearing a suit in the bleachers, singing Frankie Valli's hit.
The 25-year-olds plan to wed later this year and live in Idaho.

By AMANDA BEAM
Out past Clark County State Forest on a cold Sunday morning, singing could be heard coming from the walls of Country Lake Christian Retreat.
For more than two months, the parishioners from Mt. Moriah Church in Henryville have been meeting at this place to hear the gospel and find comfort in its message. As they stood, they sang a song about a road marked with suffering, a line all too many of them could identify with.
On March 2, 2012, an EF-4 tornado leveled Mt. Moriah Church and houses along Henryville-Otisco Road. Although the building was reduced to rubble, the storms failed to destroy the faith of those who attend the little country church. Members turn to God for help dealing with the lingering obstacles of that fateful day and church pastor the Rev. Terry Lanoue continues to minister to them.
"There are so many things that happen in life that we ask why they happened," he said. "While we go through the trials of life, we shouldn't take our eyes off the Lord because he is always faithful and his mercy is renewed every morning. We walk by sight, and he asks us to walk by faith. When you can't see his hand, you trust his heart."
Trusting in a higher power is something the congregation has had to do quite a bit this past year. Construction on Mt. Moriah's third sanctuary hasn't always gone quite as planned. The engineer overseeing the building plans died midway through their implementation, forcing the church to find someone new.
In the interim, the church met in a donated tent near the building site. Only a week before the first snow of the year, the congregation moved temporarily to Country Lake, where they remain.
The congregation will meet this week to discuss new additions to the already larger complex in Henryville. Lanoue wants to incorporate some outdoor and other sporting activities for children and their parents on their 20-acre lot. With luck, the church should be finished and ready for use by this summer.
Since the storms, numerous individuals and organizations have donated to the church. Lanoue said a woman in Elizabethtown, Ky., sends a $100 check to the church almost every month. Likewise, gift cards and monetary donations have enabled the small parish to accomplish more of its goals.
"Negative events oftentimes have a way of bringing people closer together," Associate Pastor Matt Martin said. "As a small church, you're not able to have some of the resources available, but now we do and I feel like we're making a huge impact for the gospel in our community."
For the members of the church themselves, a building isn't necessary for them to feel God's presence.
Congregant Carol Adams experienced the full force of the tornadoes as she took shelter in the office of Henryville Elementary School a year ago today. As the school secretary, she had been taking phone calls from concerned parents about the emerging storms most of that day.
Immediately before the big tornado hit, she noticed a man dressed all in white painter's clothes at the front counter.
"I finally got time to stand there and look at him and he was wringing his hands and he said, 'I don't want to go through another one of these'. He said, 'I'd been through one and I don't want to go through another one'. And with every ounce of my being, I said to that man 'You're going to be fine. You're going to get in this bathroom with us. You'll be fine,'" Adams said. "I know that guy was put there by the Lord. I know he was for me to take care of."
While in the bathroom seeking shelter, the people prayed that they and their town would be saved. All 30 survived without any major injuries. Once they emerged from the wreckage, Adams said an Indiana State Police trooper was shocked to see they could walk away.
Yet, through the whole ordeal and even throughout the recovery, Adams said she experienced a surprising calmness.
"Peace just came over me. I just know the Lord was right there," she said. "There were so many people from all over the United States praying for us that we didn't even know was praying for us. And I know that's why I felt peace. I know it is. There's no doubt in my mind."
Even a year after the destruction, congregants still pray for their church and the town of Henryville. Adams said amid the devastation she has seen goodness in a myriad places.
"It's been an experience, but it's been a good experience. So many people you found out are so good. People from all over the United States came to our town, came to our rescue," she said. "If you didn't have faith, you should now."

Researchers Discover Why Water Exists on the Moon
Water on moon likely produced by solar wind
When astronauts returned lunar rocks to Earth during the Apollo missions, scientists eventually found that some of the samples contained water. But they weren't sure about how the water got there — until now. And the discovery might mean Newt Gingrich's proposed "lunar colony" isn't as far fetched as it seems.
The water on the moon may have come, indirectly, from an unlikely source: the sun. Hydroxyl — a chemical group made up of a hydrogen and oxygen — is abundant on the moon. When hydroxyl interacts with the hydrogen in solar wind, which the sun emits constantly, it becomes water, according to Yang Liu, a scientist at the University of Tennessee-Knoxville. The process doesn't happen on Earth because of the planet's atmosphere.
But Liu's most important discovery is not how the water got there, she says, it's what humans might be able to do with solar wind and the moon's existing hydroxyl.
[PHOTOS: Constellation, NASA's Moon Program]
"There's a heated discussion about going back to the moon and trying to build a habitat," she says. "We might be able to use this process, not for drinking water, but for rocket fuels. It could be another energy source to power our space exploration and go beyond our solar system."
That's because water on the moon could potentially be converted to rocket fuel as liquid hydrogen or oxygen, she says. "It's not an easy process" to convert hydroxyl into rocket fuel, but Liu says it's feasible.
There could be as much as 3 metric tons of water on the moon, according to a "ballpark estimate" by Liu.
[READ: Did the Moon Sink the Titanic?]
The discovery also suggests that water could exist elsewhere in the solar system, including on Mercury and several asteroids.
"We have some tentative observations in terms of seeing ice in the polar region of Mercury," she says.
Mars, on the other hand, has an atmosphere. Any water on that planet was likely derived in another way, she says. "That's the big question we're trying to answer, why we're sending so many missions to Mars to address that question. Unless we have direct samples, we won't know."

Rietema's Triple-Double Not Enough as Valpo Falls at Hoosier State Classic
Saturday, December 02, 2006Valparaiso got a triple-double from Betsy Rietema (Grand Rapids, Mich./Christian H.S.) and a double-double from Tamra Braun (Savage, Minn./Prior Lake H.S.) but it was not enough as the Crusaders fell to Indiana State 83-71 on Saturday afternoon at the Hoosier State Classic in Indianapolis, Ind.
Rietema scored 14 points while dishing out a career-high 10 assists and grabbed 10 rebounds for her first career triple-double. Braun scored 19 points and had 11 rebounds for Valpo, which was playing its third game in five days.
The opening 10 minutes of the contest saw both teams trading baskets, with neither team building an advantage of more than three points. Valpo then went on a quick 7-0 spurt, keyed by a Rietema steal and score and a Sarah Ott (Chippewa Falls, Wis./Chippewa Falls H.S.) three-pointer to open up a 25-18 lead with 9:02 to play in the half.
Indiana State answered with the next 10 points, including a pair of triples by Angela Phillips. Valpo kept it close the rest of the half, and trailed just 41-38 at the intermission.
Rietema led the Crusaders at the break with 10 points, six rebounds, and four assists while Myers added nine points. Leah Phillips led Indiana State led Indiana State with 11 points at halftime.
After the Sycamores increased their lead to six to start the second half, Valpo went on a 13-2 run over 3:30 to retake the lead 51-44.

You wouldn't think of teams separated by almost 2,500 miles of highway as intense rivals. In the case of the Wenatchee Wild and Johnstown Tomahawks, this weekend's series served as a reunion of sorts.
Wenatchee secured the weekend sweep with a 3-2 win over the Tomahawks, a former West Division rival of the Wild before the franchise relocated from Palmer, Alaska to Johnstown last summer.
The Wild eliminated the then-Alaska Avalanche from the 2012 NAHL postseason. It was not lost on some of the holdovers from the Alaska squad.
"We have returnees from last year in Alaska and we have a good rivalry with (Wenatchee)," Tomahawks forward Jordan Watt said. "We lost to them in the playoffs last season, unfortunately."
The Tomahawks racked up 53 penalty minutes with a pair of ejections and three fighting majors while the Wild lost one player to a game misconduct and served two fighting majors.
The physical play, which led to a smattering of minor penalties, encouraged Johnstown coach Jason Spence, despite the loss.
"A lot of the physical, hard-working penalties, those are the ones that you want to kill," Spence said. "Because the players are working so hard and finishing their checks and are playing with emotion. When those penalties happen, the players on the bench want to kill that penalty even harder because it was a hard-working penalty."
It also energized the sellout crowd of 3,725 fans (and 84 dogs in the building for Pucks and Paws Night).
"I loved the announcement of the sellout with the people and the dogs, that was awesome," Wenatchee coach Bliss Littler noted. "What a great environment to play in. (Johnstown) could end up being a destination. Kids are going to want to play here."
The Wild (35-7-4) held off early pushes from Johnstown through the first period as the Tomahawks (22-18-10) peppered goaltender Robert Nichols. Momentum shifted to the Wild as Cody Boyd racked up an instigator penalty and game misconduct along with a fighting major late in the first. The five-minute power-play allowed the Wild to break through with the game's first goal just 48 seconds into the second period on Max McHugh's corner shot past Colin Brennan.
"The big key was the power play we got at the end of the first," Littler said. "We didn't score on it (then), but (Johnstown) had some really good chances, put us on our heels a bit with their forecheck and that penalty made them back off a bit and kill it."
Watt, who was serving the penalty for Boyd, equalized with a jailbreak goal as Mitch Hall lobbed a puck to Watt at the Wenatchee blue-line. Watt then drove to the net before beating Nichols for his 16th.
"I just came out of the box, Hallsy picked his head up," Watt said. "He just threw it up to me and I went down on the breakaway."
The Wild reclaimed the lead at 16:34 of the second when Joe Sullivan beat Brennan. Chris Kerr was credited with the assist.
Trevor Stewart, who assisted on the McHugh goal, converted a defensive-zone turnover into a 3-1 Wenatchee lead 4:35 into the third.
With the ink still drying on the scoresheet from a holding penalty called on Wenatchee's Chris Jones late in the third, Watt's faceoff win in the Wild zone found Mitch Kontny, who ripped a shot past Nichols at 15:11.
Johnstown, which only registered three shots during the third, saw its chances to tie flutter past the net or get poked away during the remaining time.
"It was an exciting game to watch. It's a game that we wished that we had," Spence said. "Wished that we would have buried a couple of our chances. Wished that we didn't miss the net or that a couple of shots didn't get blocked. I really think that we deserved better, but that's not the way things work some nights."
Nichols stopped 18 shots while Brennan turned away 25 of the 28 shots he faced.
