The Army is trying something new to help treat soldiers with post traumatic stress syndrome.
Soldiers are using Warrior Mind Training, a technique aimed at improving concentration and relaxation that's been used for more than a thousand years. In some ways it's similar to other forms of meditation, though there's a stronger emphasis on living in the moment.
For soldiers battling PTSD, an instructor says it helps them "leave the horrors of war behind when it's time to come home."
The course is also catching on as a way to improve focus and better prepare soldiers and Marines for the rigors of combat. An instructor says it can also improve shooting range performance and raise training test scores.

Isaac, which has been downgraded to a tropical storm from a hurricane, plodded its way across Louisiana on the seventh anniversary of Katrina, with officials weighing whether to bust a hole in a levee to relieve some of the water that was spilling over a wall in a rural part of the state Wednesday.
Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal said officials may cut a hole in a levee on the east bank of Plaquemines Parish to relieve pressure on the structure. At a news conference in Baton Rouge, Jindal said there was no estimate on when that might occur.
He said as many as 40 people are reportedly in need of rescue in the area.
Plaquemines Parish has also ordered a mandatory evacuation for the west bank of the Mississippi River below Belle Chasse, worried about a storm surge. The order affects about 3,000 people in the area, including a nursing home with 112 residents.
Officials said the evacuation was ordered out of concern that more storm surge from Isaac would be pushed into the area and levees might be overtopped.
Joshua Brockhaus, an electrician who lives in the flooded area, helped rescue neighbors in his boat.
"I'm getting text messages from all over asking for help," he said. "I'm dropping my dogs off and I'm going back out there."
The hurricane's impact was a surprise for him.
"We didn't think it was going to be like that," he said. "The storm stayed over the top of us. For Katrina, we got 8 inches of water. Now we have 13 feet."
Alvin Sylve, a disabled former long-distance truck driver, was preparing to evacuate. He lived on street with rows of doube- and single-wide trailers in Jesuit Bend in Plaquemines Parish, an area outside the federal levee system where people were ordered to evacuate Wednesday as conditions worsened.
"We've never seen it this bad," he said. "The way this wind is shifting."
He was hunkering down at a friend's double-wide with leaks springing in the ceiling.
"This double-wide is shaking, even though it's anchored down. You see another piece came off the roof," he said, pointing to a flying piece of roof tile. "It's falling apart!"
In Vermilion Parish, Sheriff Mike Couvillon said a 36-year-old man had gone to help two friends move a vehicle from under a tree to prepare for Isaac on Tuesday evening, and fell to his death after climbing 18 feet up a tree. Deputies don't know why the man climbed the tree.
Rescuers in boats and trucks plucked a handful of people who became stranded by floodwaters in thinly populated areas of southeast Louisiana. Authorities feared many more could need help after a night of slashing rain and fierce winds that knocked out power to more than 600,000 households and businesses.
Although Isaac was much weaker than Katrina, which crippled the city in 2005, the threat of dangerous storm surges and flooding from heavy rain was expected to last all day and into the night as the immense comma-shaped storm crawled across Louisiana.
Army Corps spokeswoman Rachel Rodi said the city's bigger, stronger levees were withstanding the assault.
"The system is performing as intended, as we expected," she said. "We don't see any issues with the hurricane system at this point."
There were initial problems with pumps not working at the 17th Street Canal, the site of a breach on the day Katrina struck, but those pumps had been fixed, Rodi said.
In Plaquemines Parish, a fishing community south of New Orleans, about two dozen people who stayed behind despite evacuation orders needed to be rescued.
Clyde Jones stayed behind and ended up regretting it.
"Stayed in the attic," he said. "Fortunately, I brought a chainsaw with me yesterday in case it happened. I cut a hole in the attic to get out, made a few phone calls and somebody came and picked us up."
It took rescuers almost three hours to reach Jones and his family.
National Guard troops, dive teams and private boaters worked to rescue dozens of people. Firefighters used axes to cut hole in roofs.
All the people who were rescued in that area were taken to a temporary shelter at the St. Bernard Parish Jail.
"I think a lot of people were caught with their pants down," said Jerry Larpenter, sheriff in nearby Terrebonne Parish. "This storm was never predicted right since it entered the Gulf. It was supposed to go to Florida, Panama City, Biloxi, New Orleans. We hope it loses its punch once it comes in all the way."
As Isaac's eye Isaac passed overhead, authorities in armored vehicles saved a family whose roof was ripped off, Larpenter said.
Two police officers had to be rescued by boat after their car became stuck. Rescuers were waiting for the strong winds to die down before moving out to search for other people.
"The winds are too strong and the rain too strong," Plaquemines Parish spokeswoman Caitlin Campbell said.
Water driven by the large and powerful storm flooded over an 18-mile stretch of one levee in Plaquemines Parish. The levee, one of many across the low-lying coastal zone, is not part of the new defenses constructed in New Orleans after Katrina.

ANDERSON, Ind. — The first snow of the season was not the soft, fluffy stuff children dream about.
It was a heavy, wet and, in some places, icy snow that blanketed cars, sidewalks and driveways.
According to the Anderson Light & Power website, 10 power outages in the area occurred about 11:30 a.m., resulting in 318 customers without power. An ALP official said trees falling on power lines caused most of the outages.
Dave Welsh, owner of Welsh Landscape Co. & Greenhouse, 3575 Alexandria Pike in Anderson, said the snow did not hurt his business.
"I still have some products outside," he said. "But we had really already started to wrap it up for the year. We just had a little bit of snow – maybe an inch. By late morning it had all melted."
Ken Scheeringa, of the Indiana State Climate Office in West Lafayette, said Anderson is ahead of schedule when it comes to its first snowfall. The first measurable flurry normally arrives about Nov. 19.
Wednesday morning's weather came close to breaking the record for a first snowfall in the Madison County area, according to Scheeringa. He said the local record for an early snowfall came on Oct. 19, 1989.
The early snow isn't necessarily a sign of a snowy winter, Scheeringa said.
"It's difficult to make a seasonal prediction on one event," he said. "December of 1989 was very cold – but there was not much snow. It really just depends on what is going on in the Pacific Ocean and what we see with the Arctic circle."
Mark Dahmer, a meteorologist for the Indianapolis National Weather Service, said unofficial measurements of Wednesday's snowfall were 1-1.5 inches. He said there will be a slight warm-up in the next week and, while there is another cold front on the horizon, it appears it will be too warm for accumulation.

When it came to Maine households, the nuclear family was already in the minority. According to the latest U.S. Census figures, it's become even more rare.
Just over 99,000 homes consisted of a husband, a wife and at least one child under 18 in 2010. That's down from nearly 117,000 in 2000, a 15 percent drop.
Other types of families are on the rise in Maine, including those led by single fathers, those with unmarried partners and those with at least one non-family member living under the same roof.
It's a trend experts have seen coming
"It doesn't surprise me at all," said Luisa Deprez, sociology professor at the University of Southern Maine in Portland. "The census is really an indicator of directions that the country, people, are in fact taking. A lot of those directions really emerge out of loosening up of some very traditional norms."
Released today, the census figures show the nuclear family represents fewer than 18 percent of all households in Maine, down from 23 percent a decade ago. Experts say the drop reflects decades of societal trends. Women represent at least half of the work force, so they don't feel the need to marry to support themselves or have children. And although divorce rates have dropped about 4 percent since the early 1980s, they remain high, leading some divorce-leery people to wait longer to marry.
"I think that's meaningful. I think people began to see the wisdom in making better choices with regard to lifetime partners," said Robert Milardo, professor of family relations at the University of Maine in Orono.
But even if Mainers aren't marrying and having children at the rate they once were, they are creating families in other ways.
More women are raising children without husbands. More men are raising kids without wives.
More grandparents are living with grandchildren.
More people are sharing their homes with at least one non-relative.
More same-sex couples are living together. And more men and women are living together as partners without getting married.
Although experts say they could have predicted some of those changes, particularly the jump in men and women living together and the increase in same-sex couples living together, other changes came as a surprise. Milardo was caught by the fact that more Maine men — nearly 35 percent more in Androscoggin and Oxford counties and nearly 24 percent more statewide — are raising children without spouses.
"Traditionally, single-parent fathers have had great difficulty maintaining involvement with their children," he said. "One result of that is more children living in poverty. It's an extremely important issue. So when I see a number that speaks of more fathers having sole custody, that to me means, great, more fathers are staying involved. That's really excellent."
So what will happen between now and the next census? Milardo expects to see even more unmarried couples living together.
"People live their relational lives in ways that work for them," he said. "Sometimes that involves marriage; sometimes, not."
Deprez believes the changes seen in this census may continue, but at a much slower rate.
"We've got that kind of pendulum that's still swinging a little bit," she said. "Like every pendulum, it does need to come to rest."

Thanks Nick and Ken for your efforts... stuck my crap on there, seems to work well.
Thanks Nick and Ken, looks fantastic guys!!!
As far as I know, even while the Showcase was down you could still access your "account" and make changes... didn't make sense, but you could.
I am glad it's back up, but is there any way to change the woodgrain background (or the faint yellow lettering?) It's kinda tough to see..
So, are you willing to put forth a little effort or are you happy sitting in your skeptical poo pile?
You can only please some of the people some of the time. Today doesn't look good for you. Tomorrow doesn't look all that great, either...

A&E problems putting patients at risk in Worcestershire, says ambulance chief
5:27pm Friday 22nd March 2013 in News By Tarik Al Rasheed
CLOGGED-UP A&E departments are stopping ambulance staff doing their jobs and putting patients at risk, a top ambulance boss has warned.
As health bosses admitted the A&E at Worcestershire Royal Hospital had been stretched to breaking point again this week, Steve Wheaton, assistant chief ambulance officer at West Midlands Ambulance Service, said paramedics up-and-down the country are having to wait for hours with patients in hospital corridors or queueing ambulances outside.
He said the situation means paramedics can "end up doing nurses' jobs", impacting on vital response times and putting patients at risk.
"Somebody is going to have a serious 'off' in the street, and we aren't going to be there," he said.
He warned the service is set to miss its response target - to get to 75 per cent of calls within eight minutes - for the first time in 18 months.
In Worcester on Monday (March 18), paramedics said there were up to nine ambulances waiting outside Worcester's A&E.
But Stewart Messer, chief operating officer of Worcestershire Acute Hospitals Trust, said this was due to a "sudden surge" between 5 and 6pm, adding: "All the patients were received and handed over to A&E staff within 15 minutes and all the ambulance crews were released immediately."
He said that, unlike many others, the trust deemed it "unacceptable" to hold patients in the back of ambulances, instead moving them inside, even if that meant they were queued in a corridor until space became available.
He added: "In Worcestershire we work very closely with the ambulance service to minimise delays as we are acutely aware of the need to release crews so they can respond to the next 999 call."
He admitted A&E departments at both Worcester and Redditch were under "significant pressures" on Monday because of high numbers of patients being admitted over the weekend.
"This is not unusual during winter weather and both have experienced unprecedented increases in demand this year," he said.
"We have seen ambulance conveyances increase by six per cent and emergency admissions are currently nine per cent higher compared to last winter."
He said the pressure would normally be expected to ease in March but that had not been the case.
"We are experiencing high levels of very sick and frail elderly patients suffering from respiratory illness, chest and cardiac conditions and stroke," he said.
The latest statistics show Worcestershire Royal is falling well short of key targets for how quickly it is treating A&E patients.
In the first half of February, just 79.86 per cent of patients were dealt with within four hours of arriving. The national target is 95 per cent.
Mr Messer said everything possible is being done to maintain patient safety and provide the best possible experience at all times.
"It is imperative that we focus on effectively discharging patients to increase bed capacity," he said.
"On Monday we had 80 patients who were ready to be discharged to their home, to a community bed or required social services assessments and packages of care.
"Our local health economy partners mobilised their teams and supported and as a result we have seen significant numbers of patients discharged, creating the bed capacity to meet the continued demand."
THE South Worcestershire Clinical Commissioning group said finding an effective way to deal with winter pressures was one of its top priorities.
The new organisation, which decides how and where money should be spent on health services, has been working with providers to formulate a new "urgent care strategy".
Chief operating officer, Simon Trickett, said: "The time that people spend at A&E in Worcester has been a problem for nearly a decade.
"We are the latest commissioner trying to tackle that."
There is also ongoing talk of introducing seven-day working patterns, in response to concerns that current shifts are causing particular problems at weekends and the start of the week.
Mari Gay, director of quality and patient safety for the CCG, said: "Proper seven-day working needs to happen because everything grinds to a halt on a Friday afternoon."
Measures already in place to alleviate pressure on A&Es include GPs accompanying paramedics to assess patients while a new surgical clinical decisions unit is being built at Worcestershire Royal.

And with the trimming / re-organisation of the Ambulance services, the Ambulances have to be available for the next call, which frequently could be a case of Life or Death.
So all we are asking is for the Hospital to do it's job, and when they can't due to staff shortages or capacity they should speak out, then we will get the true picture of the health situation, not the political one.

When Jason Toncik graduated from NCC in 2009 with a degree in computer programming, he went to work for a Lehigh Valley company that ultimately outsourced their local jobs. After only two years of working in his field, he was faced with the prospect of unemployment unless he decided to go search for a similar job in a big city. Thanks to the Trade Adjustment Assistance Act, Toncik was able to return to NCC and enter into a fast-tracked HVAC and refrigeration technology course that will help him get back to working in an industry that he's been trained for.
"I knew what Northampton would be like from my first time here, but since then I've realized that you have to go for a job that's in demand but also something that you like and can see yourself doing," says Toncik. "You don't want to go for something that sounds fun but might not be in demand. I like the hands-on aspect of this career, and thanks to the [Trade Adjustment Act] grant, we have access to a lot of resources and have a lot of tools at our disposal."
Toncik is also among the rare hybrid of students who is not only part of the Trade Act program, but was able to complete most of his general education courses through Northampton's online learning program. Completing courses online was beneficial for him, Toncik says, because he was able to pace himself through the work without needing the additional classroom guidance. Now that he's in the classroom for the courses that are the core of his program, Toncik is taking advantage of small class sizes and having peers of all ages.
"The classes are small and it's a bit more relaxed. I've already met a lot of cool people in this program. Mostly everyone in these classes helps everyone else out and it's actually really diverse," says Toncik. "Plus a lot of the teachers I have currently work in the field or have worked in the field."
Toncik hopes to get back out in the career field working as an in-house repair technician for a large company, and the Nazareth native would prefer to remain in the Lehigh Valley for work. Thanks to the Trade Adjustment Act, his second go-around at Northampton has enabled him to appreciate the value of his education.
"I wouldn't have gone somewhere else," says Toncik. "Here, I'm able to get an education that was affordable for me in a more relaxed environment."

The Monster is arguably Ducati's most famous model bike, and is now an even more evolved motorcycle. Much of this comes down to the riding experience that the new naked bike delivers, and here, the tubular steel trellis frame needs to be mentioned. The main section is shared with the 1098R and linked to the cast-aluminum sub-frame, while the swing arm is brand new, with a foot-peg hanger included. This shows how Ducati is leading the industry in establishing the standard, when it comes to matters of handling and comfort. The seat is positioned at 30.3 inches from the ground, and the handlebars are brought closer to the rider, while the foot-pegs allow the rider to hug the tank better with their knees.
With the 2010 Ducati Monster, and all of the available sub models, the key element is the new air-cooled, 696cc, L-twin with two valves per cylinder Desmodromic. This manages to retain the bore (3.47 inches) and stroke (2.25 inches) of the previous generation's model. The Monster also features a modified cylinder and cylinder head, as well as larger valves, and an overall simplified design with more cooling fins for greater effectiveness. The performance figures have been raised to 80 horse power at 9000 rpm, and 51 foot to pounds of torque at 7750 rpm. Compared to the 695 engine, the new generation is smoother, and more reliable. For the best ride in the mountains, on the highway, at the track, or touring the city, the Ducati Monster offers something for all these options.
The fuel-injected engine of the Ducati Monster is a Siemens electronic fuel injection system. The dashboard offers speedometer, tachometer, speed odometer, revs, time, scheduled maintenance warning, oil temperature, trip fuel, air temperature, lap time, low oil pressure warning, fuel level, fuel reserve, neutral, turn signals, over-rev and immobilizer gauges. The Monster is ready for the Ducati Data Analyzer (DDA), which provides the rider with crucial information regarding throttle opening, vehicle speed, engine rpm, engine temperature, distance travelled, laps, and lap times. If you're looking for a bike that will contribute to making a better rider out of anyone who gets on board, then this is the bike for you.
The gas tank on the 2010 Ducati Monster is situated almost an inch lower, thereby making the seat feel lower, and bringing the rider even closer to the handle bars. This means the rider will stay in proper control over the motorcycle at all times. The gas tank is made of a high-quality plastic material, which can be easily swapped out with another when damaged, or when the rider simply wishes to switch out colors on their stylish Italian ride.
Looking at the 2010 Ducati Monster, one sees a stylistically enhanced motorcycle, with everything about the new bike appearing sharp, handsome, and more inviting for the discerning rider who wants to ride a bike that turns heads while on the road, and at stops. Everything from the headlight and signal lights, mirrors, instrument cluster, and the aggressive tail, featuring an LED taillight, signals style. The three-spoke rims come in black, and look sexy as they blend in perfectly with the overall design of the Monster, which comes in Red, Matte Black, and Pearl White colors. If you are the type of enthusiast who loves to tinker and upgrade, the customization possibilities on the 2010 Ducati Monster will keep you more than busy in the shop, garage, or drive-way.

Jaclyn M. Durr
Jaclyn M. Durr, a senior majoring in international studies and German, has been awarded a Fulbright grant to serve as an English teaching assistant in Germany beginning in September.
In addition to helping teach the English language, part of my role is to share American culture with students, as well as promote mutual understanding between our cultures, says Durr, a Student Senate Parliamentarian who was one of 10 students to receive the 2007 M Award for service to the University.
Durr is the second SMU student awarded a Fulbright this year. Denver Morrissey Nicks, an international studies and political science major, received the prestigious national grant to study at the University of the Philippines. Both students also were awarded Teach for America positions this fall, which they will defer until next year.
During her nine-month assistantship, Durr will teach in a secondary school in the central German state of Thuringia while also broadening her knowledge of German language and European politics. She previously studied abroad in Copenhagen with Denmarks International Study Program and in Weimar with SMU-in-Germany.
After my freshman summer in Weimar, my interest in international politics took on a new force, says Durr, who has studied the German language since elementary school. You have to know the history of each European Union member state to understand whats going on there today, and to even try to predict how they will integrate and interact with the global community in the future.
Professor Marie-Luise Gaettens, chair of the Foreign Languages and Literatures Department and director of the SMU-in-Germany program, says the Fulbright is an important step on the road to a graduate degree, which Durr plans to pursue in the field of political economy. To be immersed in the culture for the school year, to read and to speak the language, will give her a whole new perspective, Gaettens says.
About 1,200 Fulbright fellowships are awarded every year to American students to study, teach and research abroad. In the last 30 years, 30 SMU students have won grants through the national merit-based competition, which emphasizes leadership, academic excellence and commitment to mutual understanding.

I'm craving a terrifying movie more than anything. I've seen lots of good horror movies, but none that have had me more than slightly nervous.
Any suggestions?
I'm craving a terrifying movie more than anything. I've seen lots of good horror movies, but none that have had me more than slightly nervous.
Any suggestions?
Don't know if these are the scariest but to me, they were the most interesting: House of 1000 Corpses and it's sequel called The Devils Rejects. Thank Rob Zombie for these creations
Saw 3 was reeeaally scary! well, for me :P House of 1000 corpses was too. oh and Stephen King's stories, and The Exorcist of Emily Rose, I couldn't sleep
The Dentist 1 & 2 XD They are only scary if you think about it :P...I thought it was SAD I wish I could give Dr Allen Feinstone a BIG HUG! and make all the pain go away
I've seen House of 1000 Corpses and adored it, but didn't find it very scary. Stephen King's novels terrify me, but the movies just make me a little nervous.
Things that scare me: clowns, ghosts, and cannibalism. Any more suggestions?
As you can tell the texas chainsaw massacre', and tool box murders was pretty damn good and rob zombies stuff is kick ass also.
All of Rob Zombie's movies are good. Eli Roth isn't too bad, either. I just watched one that most people would say is not a horror movie. I started a forum awhile ago 'Define Horror', everyone has thier own ideas. Check it out. Anyway the movie is 'The Day After' (1983), about a nuclear attack on the Kansas City area. They did a good job. It may not be straight up horror, but, it WILL scare you!
I loved Seven with Morgan Freeman and Brad Pitt but that was more psychological thriller If your afarid of clowns then i would watch IT that kept me awake for a little while Jacobs ladder was a good one.
Well i got to tell ya. One of the scariest films i have ever seen was friday the 13th part 3. Everybody knows jason. In this movie its creepy cause he watch his victims the whole time and they don't see him. The kills are pretty gruesome too... Also the excorsist of emily rose is very chilling. There is not much death in it but demonic possession is scary by itself.....And i recommend boogyman 3. The special effects are good and you will think twice about sleeping with the lights off... Something else that helps. Most horror films aren't scary without their musical theme's. You wouldn't watch one without sound.....So you really shouldn't watch em during the day. Set up a stage that will add to the experience. Like watching them at night. Turn the lights off. maybe light some candles. Have something to drink and a big bowl of popcorn handy. Pausing the movie for bathroom breaks ruins the effect too. Anyways....Try these movies and idea's to help. Your horror experience will be much more thrilling. I garantee it.....
If you like cannabalism "Ravenous" isn't too bad. For Ghosts "House on Haunted Hill and 13 Ghosts" weren't too bad but the endings are pretty lame.

Traverse City Record-Eagle
---- — TRAVERSE CITY — Have you ever met someone who was always so happy and full of laughter? Someone who dances into a room and the entire space swells with joy? Yeah, the person you want to slap for being so chipper all the time. Well, that's our Kelly and honestly, no one could deny that she had a way about her that made you fall instantly in love with her. Maybe it was the colorful tutus that adorned her waist on any given occasion, or maybe it was her infectious laugh and occasional snort. Perhaps Kelly nailed it when she described herself on Facebook saying, "I don't judge others. I say if you feel good with what you're doing, let your freak flag fly. I'm a ridiculous human being with a sunny disposition."
Kellyann Hurlbert, tutu-wearing, lover of pandas and Daddy's little princess, tragically bid farewell to this world on July 5, 2013, at the tender age of 29.
Born Jan. 30, 1984, on a snowy Northern Michigan day in Traverse City, Kelly was a lover of life and was loved by all. There wasn't a person who met Kelly who wasn't positively affected by her effervescent spirit. Her parents, Steve and Michelle, fondly remember their blonde-haired, blue-eyed beauty who loved to spend time "working" at their family's trout farm in Beulah. Kelly always loved the water, and as a young girl she especially loved spending time with her treasured Grandma Boyce on Platte Lake.
Soccer and softball were two of her favorite ways to pass the time at Benzie Central High School, from where Kelly graduated in 2003.
Kelly was successful on every path she chose in life. Her paths may have changed as often as her hair color but one thing that never wavered was her dedication and love for her family and friends. She loved to make fun of those she cared about so as to teach them how to truly laugh at themselves. No one laughed at themselves more that Kelly did. Always laughing, always loving ...
Dancing wildly, jamming to music, riding her bicycle and spending time with her friends were things that Kelly loved to do.
On July 15, 2012, Kelly married her soul mate, Pauly Hurlbert in a gorgeous lake-side ceremony. Her wedding, like her love for Pauly, was of epic proportion and guests could often be overheard declaring that their wedding was 'the best I have ever attended.' Kelly and Pauly's mantra sums up their love perfectly, "When we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love."
Kelly will always be cherished by her loyal and adoring husband, Pauly Hurlbert, of Traverse City; parents, Steve and Michelle Boyce; sister, Nicole (Chuck) Nostrandt, all of Frankfort; brothers, Craig (Shaylan), of Interlochen, and Scott (Katie), of Traverse City; uncle, Timothy Preston, of Traverse City; nephews, Daymian, Brandon and Carsen; niece, Hannah; in-laws, Joe (Marcella) Hurlbert, Barbara Hurlbert and Anna Hurlbert; her two four-legged, tail-wagging babies, Zephyr and Maggie; and her countless, amazing friends.
"To: Kelly
If you cannot be rock then be my water
If you cannot be savior just be my Valentine
Take this heart shaped box
Fill it up
With your wants and all your worries
Your frights and all your fantasies
And you just take the ring
Hand me every other thing
And I will carry the weight
Love, Pauly"
"To: Pauly
"If ever there is tomorrow when we're not together ... there is something you must always remember. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is, even if we're apart ... I'll always be with you."
Love, Kelly
P.S. HEY SHEEP! Play Persistence!!"
Kelly's memorial service will be held on Thursday, July 11, at F&M Park. The service will begin at 2 p.m. Directly after the service there will be a police escorted bicycle procession through downtown ending at Hannah Park, where there will be a Celebration of Kelly's Life.
In lieu of flowers, Kelly's family is asking that you please make a contribution to Kelly and Paul Hurlbert through remembertolove.org. You can also make your donation by visiting any Traverse City State Bank and mentioning the Kelly/Paul Hurlbert Memorial.
Arrangements are by Jowett Family Funeral Homes & Cremation Service, Frankfort and Benzonia.

KIOWA — Ask most winning teams the key to their success, and they'll probably at some point mention teamwork. But Kiowa's girls' basketball team seems to take teamwork a step beyond.
For the Cowgirls, teamwork has become a motto. An anthem. A creed.
It's also led them to a 12-0 start to their season.
"We just want everybody to be incorporated into the team," Kiowa freshman guard Tara Mabray said at practice on Friday. "We don't to have one star player — we all want to contribute."

Pride And Prejudice And Zombies movie presses forward
A director has been found for the movie of Pride And Prejudice And Zombies, whilst Lily Collins looks set to star...
A movie take on Seth Grahame-Smith's Pride And Prejudice And Zombies seems to have been stuck in development for a couple of years now. At one stage, David O Russell was circling the project, and Natalie Portman was set to star. Then it looked as if Craig Gillespie was going to make it. But when they all moved onto other things (although Portman is still one of the produers apparently), the film seemed destined never to happen.
But now it's been resurrected.
Enter director Burr Steers, though. Steers made the quite brilliant Igby Goes Down and the underappreciated 17 Again, and he's now attached to the movie. Furthermore, the film may have found its lead too, with Lily Collins reportedly taking on the part. She's in negotiations to play Elizabeth Bennet in the film, and if she signs up - as expected - then it may just be full steam ahead.
We'll keep you posted...

I'll be surprised if this goes ahead. Strikes me as too risky a project to get backed with enough money to be made. The only reason honest Abe fighting vampires made it through was to parallel the serious Lincoln movie that year, knowing that would get people into the cinema. Which is a shame, because I really liked AL:VH, and I'd love to see another similar idea play out.
This sounds awful and all i have read is the title! what is this sudden fascination with zombies? they are popping up all over the place (no pun intended) World War Z, the walking dead spring to mind! not to mention that one on BBC Three which looked horrible!
Please no more zombies!
I tried to read the book, but the Zombie additions are so poorly written, that I really don't know what to think about the film. There are occasional moments of cleverness in the adaptation, but I didn't see the brilliance some reviewers cited.

Act your age, not your shoe size, as our teachers used to tell us. But still. Buzz had to crack up at Kleinhans Music Hall, seeing these critters at the recent Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra kids' show.
Elmo tried to cajole our niece, Barbara, into posing with him. No go.
Elmo had better luck with Barbara's dad.
Parents all wanted to get their pictures taken with Elmo! What was with that? This is supposed to be for the kids and the grown-ups are having the good time.
We loved these creatures standing by the stairs.
We loved seeing Matthew Kraemer, the BPO's Associate Conductor, in a chicken suit. That alone, you have to figure, is worth the price of admission.
And the best was, we saw Mickey Mouse walking into the Mary Seaton Room, looking sweaty and exhausted, taking off his giant Mickey Mouse head. Ha, ha! We wish we had gotten a picture of that.
Some things never grow old!

Blue Raiders gearing for key scrimmage
Team at halfway point of preseason campAugust 19, 2011 · Athletic Communications
COACH RICK STOCKSTILL ON SATURDAY SCRIMMAGE: "It has been a week since we scrimmaged so this one is very important from an assignment standpoint individually and for execution as a unit. We were installing so much early on that the first scrimmage was not as crisp because the players were so hesitant. Now we have had more practice time and I expect them to play much better on Saturday."
"This scrimmage will also be very important for a few guys who have been out with injuries. They have not practiced and need to get hit and get their confidence back."
"We will have a great idea of the two-deep after this scrimmage. There will be a couple of positions that will take a little more time but for the most part I will have a good idea of things after Saturday."
COACH DAVID BIBEE ON SAFETIES: "I think we are in good shape. We did lose two 3-year starters, but we have guys back that played and have contributed to the team in the past. They have not played in the capacity that they will be playing this year, but I think they are ready for the challenge.
"Derrick Crumpton and Erik Russell are the two starters, and they are doing a good job. They are both outstanding players and very committed to what they are doing. Then, we have two other guys that I am not afraid to throw in there in Sammy Seamster and Denzell Guerra. Both have contributed and made plays for us. Juno Prudhomm has had the best fall camp since he stepped on campus. He's had surgery on his knees, but he is better now than he's been. Reggie Farmer may wind up getting on special teams."
"I feel really good about our two freshmen. Actually, Kevin Byard is a kid that is almost ready to play now, he's just a little ahead of James Roberson, not necessarily in anything but maturity and knowing what to do, but I feel good about them."
COACH DAVID BIBEE ON NICKEL BACKS: "I'm not sure who the nickels and dimes will be right now. In the past, the safeties have been nickels and dimes, but the way things are now, there is a good chance that some of the corners may be nickels and dimes. The great thing about it is that, if Sammy and Denzell continue to develop, then we've got Eric and Derrick that could go right back and play the nickel and dime. But, because the safeties are younger, we don't want to strap them up with too many things to think about."
"Marquise Dixon and Kenneth Gilstrap have both played nickel in the past, and we are working Chris Sharpe at nickel, so we have those cornerbacks that we are getting looks at as well. No matter what, we should have good depth as well as quality players. I feel like we are going to be just fine."
COACH STEVE ELLIS ON CORNERBACKS: "Right now we are in a developmental process, guys developing, sharpening their skills. Arness Ikner is doing really well. He's taking that next step and playing similar to (Alex) Suber and Rod Isaac and Mark Udell. He is going into the second year in this system, he's had a great fall camp, and he's doing well. T.L. Edwards played a little bit last year, and he's taken another step forward. He comes to work every day, he's healthy for the first time since he has been here, and has great lateral movement, so we are excited about him."
"Kenneth Gilstrap is a talented guy, red-shirted last year after ACL surgery. He's quick and versatile. He will see time as a returner and in our dime packages. Those three guys have really stood out to me along with Chris Sharpe, who was the most improved guy this spring. He got stronger in the off-season, and even more so this summer. It's a young group, but talented, and they are learning every day to play defensive back."
"Khari Burke is a newcomer who red-shirted last year, and we are expecting big things out of him. He's "Suber-ish" (Alex Suber), got that same mold, and has had an excellent camp. Again, those guys just haven't played a lot, but they are definitely getting better, and I'm just ready for the ride."

Listeners will also savor the wit, the sly irony and satire and comedy that Miss Austen crowds into almost every quiet, well-bred line of this novel. There is great sanity, common sense and worldly wisdom to be found in her exploration of human nature.
Sir Walter Scott said, Jane Austen had "that exquisite touch which renders ordinary commonplace things and characters interesting." This quality provides today's listeners of Pride and Prejudice with a fascinating trip into the lives of the privileged in England during the 18th century.

"A great story to make the end of an era"
Here we have then Bennet sisters facing a similar situation as in Sense and Sensibility. No male heirs to take over the family estate and fortune. For some reason their father made some silly deal to give it to his nephew. When the nephew comes to call to set everyone's mind at ease it's a disaster. He tried to get the sister to marry and him and when he's spurred enough he leave. What does he do? Read to find out. Then each sister gets mixed up with guys and are made to look silly, brilliant and human. In the end all the matters are solved, somehow. Well, read to find out.
"Love this story. One of my favorites!"
I like how the characters develop throughout the story.
I like that I could really like Darcy and Lizzy. They were really good people in this story.
"Great Story"
I loved the narrator, she kept me enthusiastic about listening.
I loved the story line, it was definitely very long but I kept interest.
I love Elizabeth the best.
"Book is great, reader is not"
One of my favorite books, but the reader is not very skilled at differentiating between character voices. Sometimes the speed at which she reads is so fast that savoring the language and social satire is quite impossible. There are many better-read renditions out there!
"My Favorite of All time"
Sharon Williams gives an excellent narration of my favorite book. I cannot wait to hear it again.

Pella — 1 cup King Arthur unbleached all-purpose flour
1-3/4 cup to 2 cups King Arthur premium 100% whole wheat flour
1 envelope Fleischmann's rapidrise yeast
2/3 cup instant mashed potato flakes
1/4 cup nonfat dry milk
1-1/4 teaspoons salt
1 cup water
1/4 cup orange juice
1/4 cup butter or margarine, cut into 6 pieces
3 tablespoons honey
1 8 X 8-inch Chinet bakeware pan
1. Combine all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup whole wheat flour, undissolved yeast, potato flakes, nonfat dry milk and salt in a large mixer bowl. Heat water, orange juice, butter and honey until very warm (120 to 130F). Add to flour mixture. Beat 2 minutes at medium speed of electric mixer, scraping bowl occasionally. Stir in enough remaining whole wheat flour to make soft dough. Knead on lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 5 to 7 minutes. Cover; let rest 10 minutes.
2. Divide dough into 12 equal pieces; shape into balls. Place in an 8 X 8-inch chinet bakeware pan. Cover; let rise in warm, draft-free place for 1-1/2 to 2 hours or until rolls are puffy and touching each other.
3. Bake in a preheated 350F oven for 15 minutes and then tent with aluminum foil. Continue baking for 10 to 13 minutes until well browned. Remove from pan and transfer to rack. Serve warm.
The orange juice does not add it's own flavor, but will mellow any potential bitterness in the whole wheat.

With devices like smartphones, laptops, and tablets growing in popularity—and dropping in price—it's easier than ever to stay
connected. You can play games while you wait in line at the DMV, transfer money between bank accounts while you shop, and
download your favorite e-books for leisurely reading. But are you taking full advantage of these tools? You've got thousands
of apps to choose from, many of which can help you become a more productive person—and even a more effective veterinarian.
To help you sort through them all, I've asked five diverse members of the profession to recommend the most useful technological
tools available.
Tamara Walker, DVM, DACVS
Dr. Walker is a partner and chief surgeon at Animal Critical Care and Emergency Services, a multispecialty practice located
in Seattle. Her recommendations are:
3. My Library
An app that provides a way of storing information on books you've read, as well as those you intend to read. It also lets
you store music, movies, and other personal media information. Author information, synopses, reviews, and other details are
cataloged in the application. The app allows users who are browsing in a brick-and-mortar bookstore to catalog books in My
Library by using the iPhone's barcode scanner.
4. Seafood Watch
This application developed by the Monterey Bay Aquarium gives you instant access to information regarding sustainable seafood
and sushi. The guides are region-specific as well. If you're committed to being a conscientious consumer, this application
is useful in the grocery store and at your favorite sushi or seafood restaurant.
5. Google
By using a Google e-mail account and calendar, you just might find the perfect personal assistant. Whether you have a PC,
a Mac, or a smartphone, you can fully sync your e-mail and calendar, giving you constant access to your schedule. You can
also download other calendars, such as the Seattle Seahawks football schedule. Google provides pop-up or e-mail reminders,
PC, Mac, iPad, smartphone

- City officials [in Escondido, California] have ended dealings with a family that was trying to buy back land it was forced to sell to the city 11 years ago, and plan to sell it to a developer next week instead.
Negotiations between the Redding family and the city ended yesterday after City Attorney Jeffrey Epp sent Jane Redding a letter at her home in Nebraska.
"The primary difference between the city's offer to you and your counteroffer is the fact you are refusing to return the city's money with any interest earnings whatsoever," Epp wrote in the letter, dated March 16.
- By a vote of 105-8 the [South Carolina] House passed the comprehensive property rights bill H. 4503. The bill restricts the ability of local governments to delegate their eminent domain powers to private developers, tightens up the definition of "public use," restricts the number of government agencies that can have eminent domain powers and provides just compensation for regulatory takings.

I wish we could choose the date as to when the email will be sent, like the recent (Red) promo by Starbucks and iTunes.
I've been trying to do this but it just wont let me. I think my problem is that the credit i have on my account was thanks to a Gift Card. So i ask, you cant make App Gifting having $$ on your account gotten by Gift cards? Thanks
does this work for people outside the US?/ I have a friend in Australia and I'd like to get some apps for him as a gift..
Sure, you can give/receive outside US, as long as the giver (sender) uses a credit card ( Not a gift card ).
Thanks Ally! Will be very handy...
What happens if you end up giving them something they already own?
