According to Weather.com, the National Weather Service in Atlanta issued a Wind Advisory for much of north and central Georgia, including Walton and Gwinnett counties, from 6 p.m. this evening, Dec. 20, 2012, until 7 p.m. Friday. Winds west from 15 to 25 mph are expected with gusts of up to 35 mph. The greatest intensity is expected from midnight Thursday through to 7 p.m. on Friday.
The impact of this could be:
- Driving high profile vehicles may become difficult, especially on north to south oriented roads.
- Loose objects may be blown around.
- Some tree limbs may be knocked down
A wind advisory means that sustained wind speeds of at least 20 mph, or gusts to 35 mph or stronger are expected. Winds this strong can make driving difficult, especially for high profile vehicles. Drivers are advised to use extra caution.

It was thick. But it was the charming version of the accent instead of the twangy one. Friday afternoon, I was delighted.
"Ma'am. Do you have a place to park the car in case it's rainin' at the time of repair?"
"Err. Uh. Ye. I think I…It's Southern California. It won't rain."
* * *
I'm a light sleeper. And, even before the first sliver of sunlight would have made it over the hills, I was awake.
For the weeks leading up to this particular Monday, I had slept even lighter…A phone's buzz, a bark, wind battering a window, the sound of footsteps shuffling away were too much. But this day, all that wouldn't have mattered; it was coming down hard. A minute passes before my brain speeds up enough to acknowledge the odds.
At lunch, I was eating my words. The Accent was on the phone again, "We can't fix your windsheild if it's already wet, Ma'am."
"Indeed," I think first, then "unlikely."
* * *
Pathetic fallacy is such a motherfucker but rain has a way of washing things away. Tuesday, in the precious early hours, it felt like spring. And I was up in a mountain staring the 20-odd miles down to the ocean through the temporarily crisp December air.
I get a call. It's the Accent. Someone was on their way to me. Could I be home in 20? I think about the the tiny stellate scissure in my windsheild. Sure. 20. No problem. On the way down the mountain, I see the spindley legs of the crack making their way across the windsheild. I wonder if a little resin will be enough to keep it from zig-zagging its way across the glass, fracturing the whole thing one day. Seems like magic. Or maybe just bullshit.
* * *
At 5:56 am, blue light creeps in and I'm awake for it. The right side of the country has forgotten, again, and the little bell dings. "Assholes," I think. But I'm already up, digging through crumpled sweaters and jeans.
And, they know it.
A few minutes later, even this early, the 10 is a parking lot. Traffic creeps to the west, a groaning catapillar of red lights moving through the smoggy half-light. If I could just get to the 405.
* * *
Less than a half-mile away, crossing Valley, you can't see the water yet. The land by the ocean undulates. But, I have enough sun light now and enough time to notice the tiny streak still cutting through the windshield. While I roll down the final hill towards Ocean Drive, I look back in my rearview and see the white stucco front of a tiny, corner restaurant. I have to smile despite myself. At least I'm home again.

McALESTER —
Closed roadways have opened after being flooded following significant rainfall.
Parts of State Highway 31 had been flooded during the significant rainfall, according to McAlester/Pittsburg County Emergency management director Trent Myers.
And, the Oklahoma Department of Transportation reported that State Highway 63 from Haileyville west to Bache Road was flooded as well but is now open.
There are many places on State Highway 31 that are prone to flooding, Myers said.
The flooding started covering State Highway 31 on Tuesday and was reported to be receded at approximately 7:45 a.m. this morning.
Myers said thankfully no one was stranded or required emergency rescue.
There have not been any drownings in the area that he can recall, but there have been several cases over the years where people had to be rescued from their vehicles in rushing waters.
Myers said currently ODOT put up blockades to block drivers from crossing flood waters and there are "Turn around don't drown" signs posted in the area to remind people not to cross water covering roadways.
"It only takes 6 inches of water with a fast current to take your vehicle off the road," Myers said. "You just shouldn't cross water covering a road it is not worth the risk."
"There is an alternative route to State Highway 31," he said. "Go west on U.S. Highway 270."
He said by driving westbound on U.S. Highway 270, the same destinations can be reached more safely.

The huge turnout has caught the Big Ten's interest, and is forcing the Big Ten to rethink future plans for the baseball tournament. It'll undoubtedly return to Omaha. But probably not on an annual...
Will Husker fans shatter the attendance records for the Big Ten Baseball Tournament this May in Omaha? With ticket prices starting at $20 for five days, that would seem to be a safe bet.
Maybe Minneapolis didn't turn out for the Big Ten baseball tournament. I suspect that Omaha will change perceptions about putting Big Ten baseball on a Big Stage next season.
Not content to settle for small thinking, the Big Ten is thinking B1G in heading to the home of the Minnesota Twins and College World Series the next two years.

Bluefield Daily Telegraph
BLUEFIELD — If we pitch him, they will come.
For Zak Wasilewski and the Bluefield Blue Jays, that is part of the mantra for the 2013 Appalahian League baseball season. Wasilewski, a 19-year left handed pitcher and Tazewell High School graduate, is excited to be living his dream as a professional baseball player and glad to be so close to home.
"I just want to make the most of it (playing at Bowen Field). To be honest, I feel like I'm starting this season playing for Bluefield and for Tazewell," grinned Wasilewski, who graduated from THS last year after a record-setting career for Lou Peery's Bulldogs. "This is a great opportunity and I want to do my very best."
Jays manager Dennis Holmberg, in his 43rd baseball season -- including 36 campaigns in the Toronto organization -- feels the same about all his players but recognizes that 'Wassy' is in a unique situation.
"He's a left-hander from Tazewell and I like left-handers," beamed Holmberg during a Monday workout. "Zak has a chance to further his career, he is beginning his climb up the ladder, and we would love to have everybody in Bulldog green up here (Bluefield) when he is on the mound. Any time Zak pitches, it would be great to see all of his friends, former teammates, and all local fans come out in support."
Harry Kammer, a club booster and fan, says, "I know that blue is the color of choice for our team, but wouldn't it be great to have a sea of green (Tazewell color) in the stands? The Blue Jays are Bluefield's and Tazewell's team, and Richlands, and we are excited about Zak being with us. I am a promoter at heart and this can be a fun thing for all of us. We can all cheer together."
There is an excellent chance, in fact, that Wasilewski's first professional start might happen this coming Friday, June 21, against the Greenville, TN, Astros.
"We're thinking real seriously about that (starting)," confirmed Holmberg. "The weather forcecast looks good, Zak is preparing for it, and we are hoping to keep that schedule. It would be special, no doubt about it, if it happens."
Wasilewski, a life-long baseball fan and loyal Bulldog, recognizes just special.
"I would love to be able to pitch Friday, and not just because it would be my first start in the league. You know, both Jack (Compton) and Billy (Wagner) played for the Astros. How great is that?" he said.
Compton and Wagner, like Wasilewsi, were both All State performers at THS. Compton played in the Appy League in 2000 for the Astros affiliate. Wagner was the overall 12th player chosen in the '93 draft by the Houston Astros and went on to an All-Star career with the 'Stros, Philadelphia, Red Sox, Mets, and Braves as he posted 422 career saves.
Wasilewski just completed extended spring training at the Jays' Duneden, FL, complex before being assigned to Bluefield.
"I really worked hard in the off-season to get in the best possible shape," notes new Jay. "Spring was fun and a great learning experience. I pitched against the Yankees, Phillies, and Pirates. I was pleased with my effort. Believe me, professional hitters are a challenge so I have had to work hard on every pitch."
Wasilewski knows a little about hitting after posting a career .504 average in high school with a THS-record 25 home runs. Nevertheless, his turns at the plate are likely a thing of the past.
"All pitchers think they are good hitters," laughs Blue Jay pitching coach Tony Caceras. "There is a reason they are pitchers. My job — our job — is to develop these young men, including Zak, into pitchers. At this level, these guys are learning their craft."
Holmberg agrees, noting, "Zak has a lot of physical talent. Right now, he's a little like a bull in a china shop. I want him to learn how to walk carefully through that shop and not charge through it, if you get the idea.
"With his strength, the task is to slow the game down and let it come to him. All of the players out there on the mound are going to have to develop into pitchers and not be throwers if they expect to make it to the next level."
Caceras adds, "Everybody here was a high school star. Not many of them got 'hit around' when they were pitching. Well, now all the players were either all region, or all city or all state, so the talent level is greatly improved. I guarantee that every young pitcher will have nights when they get hit hard and it is how they respond to that will determine their future success."
For his part Wasilewski is determined to give baseball his best shot with a solid array of weapons.
"I want to stay aggressive with my fastball and move to the change when I need to," notes the 6-1, 190-lb. hurler. "If I'm in the strike zone, I will feel good enough about that and I may go the curve sometimes as my put-away pitch. A lot of people ask about velocity and I've hit 94 (miles per hour) but usually I keep a rhythm slightly less than that.
"I just want to be comfortable out there and do my job. Just give my team a chance to win, that's what I'm after."
Local fans are eager for that to happen, too.
Each player is assigned a 'sponsor' and Wasilewski got Springville residents Carl and Lynn Burnett. Lynn taught at Springville Elementary from the late 1970s until she retired in 2002. She and her husband will never retire from being baseball fans and are thrilled to be working with Zak.
"Oh, this is wonderful," notes Lynn. "Carl is as happy as he can be. We'll find out what Zak likes to eat and get him some good food to take on road trips, or something like that. Whatever we can to help him be comfortable and play better is what we'll do."
Don Whitt, a THS grad of many years ago, whose son, Scott, was a fireballing pitcher for Bill Kinser's Graham G-Men in the 1970s, is also happy with the new pitcher.
"It's wonderful to see some Tazewell at Bowen Field," says Whitt. "I look forward to Zak representing himself, the area, and Tazewell well. We all want to see him have a great career here and move a step closer to the major leagues."
Holmberg says, "Just how quickly Zak, or any of the Bluefield Blue Jays, make that move will be up to them. He (Wasilewski) is a good kid. The main ingredient is for him to listen, and then adapt."
Bluefield fans hope Wasilewski gets 'in a zone' and becomes a success.
That transition may well begin in a 60-foot, 6-inch zone this coming Friday.

Professor Gus Speth Releases Third Book in "American Crisis" Series
August 31, 2012
In his new book "America the Possible - Manifesto for a New Economy," Vermont Law School Professor Gus Speth looks at the troubles in which the United States now finds itself, charts a course through the despair and envisions what he calls "America the Possible."
In this third volume of his award-winning "American Crisis" series, Speth identifies a dozen features of the American political economy where transformative change is essential, and he explains how system change can come to America.
Excerpt from the preface:
"Like most Americans, I love this country. I love its boundless energy and spirited people, its natural beauty, its creativity in so many fields, its many gifts to the world, and the freedom and opportunity it has given me and others to write books like this one&mdasph;which is why on August 20, 2011, I became a jailbird.
"Along with sixty-five others, I was arrested in front of the White House protesting the proposed Keystone XL pipeline, all 1,700 miles of it intended to carry oil from the tar sands of Alberta, Canada, to the Gulf Coast to satisfy our country's insatiable thirst for oil. Our modest act of nonviolent civil disobedience landed us in the central cellblock of the District of Columbia jail for two nights.
"Some protesters were acting to stop the desecration of the North American land. My motivation was climate change: after more than thirty years of unsuccessfully advocating for government action to protect our planet's climate, I found myself at the end of my proverbial rope. Civil disobedience was my way of saying that America's economic and political system had failed us all. Having served as President Jimmy Carter's White House environmental adviser, helping to found two of our country's major environmental groups, leading the United Nations' largest program for international development, and serving as dean of Yale's environment school, I was once dubbed the 'ultimate insider' by TIME magazine. But my conclusion in August was and still is that working inside the system is insufficient. We have to step outside America's broken system of political economy and begin the difficult job of transforming it. As the slogan goes, 'system change, not climate change.'
"This book tells the story of how system change can come to America. At its heart is a vision of an attractive, pleasant, and successful America that is still within our power to realize by mid-century. In this America the Possible, our country will have rejoined the leading nations in realizing social justice and well-being, in building peace and real global security, and in sustaining our planet's environmental assets both domestically and globally. We will have reclaimed our democracy from what were once quite properly called the 'moneyed interests.' And we will have seen a deep transformation in our country's dominant values and culture.
"Now that is all very nice, you might be thinking, but how do we get there? I will endeavor in this book to chart a course to an America the Possible—a course from today's decline to tomorrow's rebirth..."

Speth joined the faculty at VLS in 2010 after a decade as dean of the Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies. Previously, he was administrator of the United Nations Development Programme and chair of the UN Development Group. Prior to his service at the U.N., he was founder and president of the World Resources Institute, professor of law at Georgetown University, chairman of the U.S. Council on Environmental Quality (Carter Administration) and senior attorney and co-founder of the Natural Resources Defense Council.

---- —
SALEM — The Fire and Police departments are investigating two suspicious fires, one that ignited a vehicle and another that involved a Molotov cocktail-type device.
Fire personnel were called to the area of Salem's Old Fashioned Candies, 93 Canal St., just before 8 p.m. Monday.
They found a small fire burning in a parking area, on the ground, that had not spread to any buildings, Deputy Chief Gerry Giunta said.
"On further investigation, I saw a bottle with a rag stuffed in it — a Molotov cocktail-type thing," Giunta said.
The device was pretty much intact. Although ignited, it looked like it had been dropped and not thrown, he said.
At 10:15 p.m., firefighters were called to a car fire in a black Lincoln Aviator in front of 47 Washington Square North.
The fire had started in the back-seat interior of the Aviator, Giunta said. The vehicle was parked and locked, and the front driver's-side window had been broken.
"It's obviously suspicious in nature because of where the fire started," he said.
A witness who called in the fire reported hearing a noise — possibly the window being broken — before noticing smoke in the vehicle, Giunta said. The Lincoln Aviator is registered to an out-of-town owner, he said.
Neither of Monday evening's fires caused any injuries.
The fires don't seem to be connected, Giunta said, because they're different in nature.
The Canal Street fire did not cause any property damage, Giunta said. It was small enough that it burned out on its own.
Earlier on Monday afternoon, Salem firefighters extinguished a car fire in a Jeep Cherokee at the Salem Willows. The Jeep fire seemed to have been electrical and is not suspicious, Giunta said. The Jeep's driver pulled over after noticing smoke coming from the vehicle's vents around 3:20 p.m.

Palestine Herald-Press
The last two times the Palestine football team has taken the field, it's taken most of the first half for the Wildcats to get going.
They trailed Pittsburg 14-6 in the first quarter three weeks ago, and then fell behind Rusk, 21-6 with less than two minutes to play in the second quarter last Friday.
The Wildcats (5-2, 1-0) travel to Groesbeck Friday, and PHS coach Lance Angel said that type of slow start can't happen.
"We're going down to, basically, hostile territory and if we play like we have the last two games in the first half, we're going to be so far down we can't make it back," he said. "The kids will be focused and we've kind of created a chip on our shoulder this week about how we're going to play in the first half. We're going to get off the bus, get dressed and be ready to play."
Palestine has rebounded in each of the last two games, beating Pittsburg, 39-14, and Rusk, 35-28.
In each of those games, the Wildcat defense has pitched second-half shutouts. Rusk's lone second half score last Friday came on a kick-off return.
"It's a credit to our defense, which hasn't given up a point in the second half in the last three games," Angel said. "That's a credit to (defensive coordinator Ty) Robinson and the defensive coaches, who make great adjustments at halftime, and the players who execute those adjustments."
Groesbeck has an offense that can score quickly through the air. Led by quarterback Colt McCoy — seriously — the Goats will throw more than they run.
Even if those passes don't go for many yards, Angel said they'll keep coming.
"They're quarterback gets the ball out quick (and) they're going to dink it around and you just can't get frustrated. It's going to be almost the same as Rusk in the sense that Rusk was happy, at times, with three or four yards or at a time. Groesbeck, at times, is going to be happy throwing the ball four or five yards and making you come up and make tackles."
The passing attack, which features receivers Matt Barnes and Klein Wiley receiving most of McCoy's attention, isn't the only thing the Goats can do, however.
The team's rushing attack is led by Terrell Miles.
Running the ball is what Palestine does best, and the Wildcats are doing it at the highest level heading into Friday's game.
The Wildcats ran for 270 yards in the win over Rusk, 211 of which came in the second half as the Palestine offensive line — which has gone from preseason question mark to midseason strength — wore down the Eagles' defense.
"They don't get all the glory and the pictures in the paper, but that group has been stable all year," Angel said. "Once again, we felt like that group — as they've done the last three or four ballgames — in the second half they really took over and dominated and wore down the defense."
The Wildcats are running at a high-rate despite not having one designated "feature back." Instead, Palestine features a stable of backs, three of whom — Jadarrius Beasley, Ben Luckett and Darrius Stephens — have already run for 300-plus yards this season.
Having more than one — or two, or three — backs that can carry the load gives Angel the advantage of not having to wear down any of his players. Instead, it keeps them all fresh.
"I think that's what the players have to understand," he said. "Right now it's about being unselfish, it's about spreading the ball around.
"There are going to be nights when one guy gets hot and others aren't, but it's nice in the fourth quarter when we can hand the ball in the fourth quarter while a kid is fresh. It makes a difference."
Kick-off is set for 7:30 p.m. Friday at Groesbeck Stadium (Commerce St. at Berry St., Groesbeck, Texas 76642).

How to Ensure Your Child's Credit Isn't Compromised
Children are easy targets for identity thieves. Here's how to protect your kids' information.
As kids head back to school, parents should be vigilant about guarding their children's personal information and watching for signs of potential identity theft. A child's credit history is a blank slate, and child identity theft can go undetected for years, making your son or daughter a desirable target of fraudsters.
In fact, a 2011 Carnegie Mellon study found that 10 percent of more than 40,000 children's records studied had someone else using their Social Security number. The impact of child identity theft can take years to undo and can complicate a child's student loan or credit card application, employment status or ability to secure an apartment.
[Read: 6 Tips to Protect Yourself from Identity Theft.]
Thieves steal kids' identities through data breaches, dumpster diving or, in some cases, buying Social Security numbers from someone who has access to the information through their work. Once fraudsters have a child's Social Security number, they might use it to apply for credit or utilities, seek employment (in cases where someone may not be able to legally work in this country) or obtain medical care.
In some cases, the perpetrator is someone the child knows, perhaps even a family member. "A parent may use their child's Social Security number to obtain credit, thinking it's fairly innocuous," says Denis G. Kelly, author of "The Official Identity Theft Prevention Handbook" and president of IDCuffs.com, an identity theft prevention company. However, it's far from innocuous, and the companies defrauded can choose to take legal action against parents who do this.
Foster children have an elevated risk of identity theft because their information might be in files with the county, city, state and foster care system, according to Eva Velasquez, President and CEO of the Identity Theft Resource Center, a nonprofit that assists identity theft victims. "You have kids in the foster care system who don't have a parental advocate," she explains. "Other kids have parents who are watching out for them."
To prevent child identity theft, take the same precautions you use to protect your own identity, both online and on paper. These include only giving out Social Security numbers when absolutely necessary and making sure companies and organizations take adequate steps to protect that information.
[Read: When to Give Out Your Social Security Number, How to Protect It.]
Ask how sensitive information will be protected. School administrators may have a legitimate need for a student's Social Security number, but a Little League coach or scout troop leader probably doesn't. "Parents should ask schools how the schools protect sensitive personal identifying information and how they destroy that personal information," says Ben Souede, an attorney at Angeli Law Group in Portland, Ore. The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act covers how schools should handle students' information, including giving parents and students the right to inspect a student's educational record and deny permission to share that information to third parties.
Don't carry sensitive documents. Avoid carrying sensitive documents, yours or that of your children, in your wallet unless absolutely necessary. "Kids come with a whole lot of paperwork, and parents may not be as careful with what they do with that paperwork as they are with their own personally identifiable information," Souede says. "When you're going from school to the doctor's office, you might tend to travel with your kid's birth certificate and Social Security card."
Teach your kids online safety precautions. As your kids get older, make sure they take precautions in what they post online or share with others, especially with free online games that require players to input their address, date of birth or other information. "You're not going be around your children 24/7, so teach them safe online protocol," Kelly says. "Understand that they shouldn't be providing any information that they wouldn't tell a stranger. Once it's [online] it's permanent."

Lander names new dean of its College of Business and Public Affairs
July 11, 2012
Dr. Robert Barrett, left, is welcomed as Lander University's new dean of the College of Business and Public Affairs by the outgoing interim dean Dr. Douglas Grider. Barrett was appointed dean effective July 2.
Dr. Robert Barrett was familiar with and impressed by Lander University's business administration program while he was serving in other academic positions in South Carolina and, when the dean's position became vacant, he wasted no time applying for the job.
Barrett was appointed Lander's new dean of the College of Business and Public Affairs (COBPA) and moved into his new office on July 2.
When asked what prompted him to apply for the dean's position, Barrett said, "I was attracted by the quality of the program, and the quality of the faculty and students." He added that he was also attracted because the Lander business program is accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), one of 11 schools in South Carolina and 648 around the world to achieve that designation. He said Lander's COBPA is a good fit for him and his experience.
Barrett comes to Lander after serving five years as dean of the College of Business and Applied Professional Sciences at South Carolina State University. His 34-year academic career also includes teaching and administrative positions at Francis Marion University in Florence, where he was named Palmetto Professor of Management in 2006; Clemson University; Virginia Tech; and East Carolina University.
Barrett received a bachelor's degree from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill; a master of business administration from East Carolina University; and his doctorate in management science from Virginia Tech.
His plan was to go into business after receiving his undergraduate degree then, while working on his master's, he taught a couple of graduate courses. "I hated it for two weeks," he said, "I was scared to death to be in front of a class." It wasn't long before he came to enjoy teaching and set his sights on a career in academics. In addition to his administrative duties as dean, Barrett will teach a statistics class at Lander.
Barrett was born in North Carolina, the son of a Methodist minister. He and his wife, Marcia, who retired after a 20-year career as a kindergarten teacher, have two children and two grandchildren. He is active in the Methodist Church and describes himself as a big sports fan. He is also a runner, logging an average of 20 to 30 miles a week.
University president Daniel Ball described Barrett as an accomplished dean and professor and said Lander is fortunate to have his leadership in the College of Business and Public Affairs. "He has the support of the faculty and the administration as he embarks on the Lander journey of preparing our students for successful careers and lives."
Barrett succeeds Dr. Douglas Grider, who served as Lander's interim COBPA dean for two years and led the national search to find his replacement. Grider was the full-time dean from 1999 to 2004, when he left to become coordinator of the AACSB accreditation project at the University of Arkansas-Fort Smith. He retired in 2007, and he and his wife, Robbie, moved back to South Carolina. In July 2010, he answered the call to become interim dean at Lander.
He said that, over the years, Lander's business courses have continued to change so they would be relevant to the business marketplace, which is constantly changing. "Lander is a great place with some truly professional people who are dedicated to education and the quality of the academic program," he added.
Lander's business program is up for its five-year AACSB reaccreditation in 2013 and Grider will assist in that arduous review process. But he also plans to set aside time for travel, fishing, gardening and catching up on his reading.

Thank you for the time you are spending to read what may start off a bit rough. People say I tell a good story, but I take a minute to get going. So here is my apology in advance!
I am working on a project that up until a few days ago was a small 'pay it forward' idea and it has blossomed into a little more than that and it has taken on a bigger meaning to so many people. I hope that a few more people would like to get on board before the close of the project in the next coming weeks.
My story has 3 beginnings, one long ago, one 4 months ago and one 8 weeks ago and I will try to get all three to translate on paper as well as they do in story telling.
I am Carly. I am a songwriter and that may be why it's easier for me to say than write.
Ok- 3 beginnings:
110 years ago a Boardwalk was built in the town of Keansburg, NJ. My family owned some rides there. Specifically, the kiddie rides.
4 months ago Hurricane Sandy devastated New Jersey, Keansburg and the boardwalk.
8 weeks ago I started a project called "Keansburg Boardwalk Kids"
And here is how it all ties together: I am a single mother, a homeowner in Middletown and a NYC commuter. I take the bus to New York daily and we ride past this boardwalk each day. I live near the devastation, I've been rebuilding with my friends and family, donating, collecting donations, cleaning beaches, restoring, and doing everything I can for my town and community. This is not the story I am trying to tell. We've all done it and we are all still doing it. It's ongoing and it won't end any time soon. It's our 'new normal'.
At my company Christmas party in December, I won the $100 Visa gift card door prize. I can't tell you how much I needed it. At that point, I hadn't even bought a present for my son for Christmas. I had no money. But I got a small bonus and things worked out and I tucked the gift card away with the intention of using it when I really needed it.
My mom then told me about a "Pay it forward" thing she did after I took her to a concert with tickets that were given to me. And it got me thinking about the gift card and that little boardwalk that I am so very impressed with.
I had read that Mr. William Gehlhaus and Mr. Hank Gehlhaus, the brothers who own the Keansburg boardwalk are going to rebuild. They were not going to throw all the old stuff away and put new rides up. They went and collected all of the rides and put them back together again. Some of them were a quarter of a mile away. My great grandparents built some of those rides. I have photos of my son on those rides.
And then it got me to thinking on how much it all means to me. And how much the photos of my son on those rides mean to me. I thought, "I bet I am not the only one who thinks that." So I decided that I wanted to thank the Gehlhaus brothers for the generations of good times and great photos at the boardwalk. Not just the photos we have, but the photos we are going to be able to have because of the amazing decision they made to rebuild. It was a huge decision and they didn't have to do it. And to hear William speak of it as if it the single most normal thing to do, it is humbling. Of course they will rebuild. Of course it will be open by Easter Sunday like it is every year. They will not disappoint. The statements seem so very small to some people. But the traditions built at Keansburg Amusement Park go back generations. And it is so very important to so many people.
It is an impressive, meaningful, important thing they are doing for the people. Keansburg is 1 square mile. There are only 10,000 residents. But at one time, it was the destination spot for New Yorkers. The ferryboats stopped right at the pier and dropped off the day-trippers. I, as well as many other folks from the neighboring towns find ourselves at the boardwalk each year, meeting up with our cousins, siblings and friends to get our kids together for a day at the amusement park.
Now, with way fewer words than that, I conveyed what I wanted to do to my family and friends on a small Facebook group called "Keansburg Boardwalk Kids". I asked for photos of kids on the rides to make a public art display and I told them that I would figure out where to put it by Easter Sunday. And this was all just to thank these folks for restoring the boardwalk. I asked for 500 photos because that's what $100 will buy on average with shipping. I got 300 photos in 6 days. I got the 500 photos I asked for in less than 4 weeks.
I now have over 1,000 photos collected. And these photos span 78 years. Many of the rides are shown throughout the decades. Each decade is graced with the smiling face of kids happy to be entertained at the friendly, neighborhood mom-n-pop amusement park.
People are so very happy to share the photos of their children on the rides with these owners. They are giving us back this unbelievable gift and we can only thank them with the pictures of our smiling kids. And the more we are all talking about it, the more people join and post photos. Each and every photo will melt your heart, I promise. I encourage you to join the group to see (you don't have to become 'Facebook 'friends' with anyone to join-just join. Your personal page will still remain private). If you are not on Facebook, email is great too. All of the photos will be displayed. I am currently working with a couple of manufacturers and it looks like the balance of the photos will be printed with a sponsorship. All I am asking for is for the most participants possible. As many different smiling faces all in one collective art display as possible would make the biggest impact.
I close with a description of the photo attached. This is on the left- my mother, Marie McGowan on the carousel horse at Keansburg Amusement Park as a baby in 1957. On the right is her granddaughter, Julia my niece, in 2012. That is the same horse. To further the impact, my mother's grandfather owned that carousel. That is 5 generations represented.
Please consider joining Keansburg Boardwalk Kids on Facebook. And please share your photos with us. I am in no way an agent for the Amusement Park. I don't work for them. I simply wanted to say thank you. And now, so do a lot of other folks. Except, we want to say thank you- VERY BIG!
Thank you,
Carly Vena

---- —
CLINTON — A rare and unique opportunity will present itself to Clinton residents this week when the Barnstormers Extravaganza comes to town Wednesday and Thursday at the Clinton Municipal Airport.
Some people may remember when the American Barnstormers arrived at the airport during the last weekend of August a year ago, but what makes this visit unique is that the Barnstormers typically tour once every two years.
"We enjoyed ourselves so much in Clinton and had so many requests to come back, that we decided to make a special trip just to Clinton with a few of the Barnstormers," co-owner of Gypsy Air Tours Kerryann DiLoreto said.
DiLoreto also co-owns one of the vintage biplanes with pilot Josh Brownell, who will be giving rides in the open-cockpit planes for $80 per person from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m at the Clinton Municipal Airport. Their 1930 WACO ATO will be one of three open-cockpit biplanes available for rides Wednesday and Thursday.
Airport manager Mike Nass is excited to welcome back the Barnstormers and said that if everything goes well this time around, he, DiLoreto and the other biplane owners will try to organize an annual event for the Clinton area.
"We want to try to make this bigger and bigger each year. Not only promote the Barnstormers and the airplanes, but also the airport itself," Nass said. "We want to start having more community events out here."
As for DiLoreto and the other owners, the appeal of Clinton comes from the reaction they see from residents.
Barnstorming originated in the 1920s as a form of entertainment. Pilots would unexpectedly arrive in small, rural farm towns showing off stunt displays and offering rides to the community for 25 cents per person.
The same philosophy applies to the new-age barnstormers. According to DiLoreto, when the American Barnstormers arrived in Clinton last year, the community support invoked the spirit the original barnstormers created.
"The whole idea is to share vintage aviation and open-cockpit flying with the general public," DiLoreto said. "When you find a community (like Clinton) that really embraces it, its very exciting."
Because of that, the group will return, possibly annually, offering a unique look at the world of aviation and as DiLoreto says it, an opportunity of a lifetime.
"I really think it's a chance for people to step back in time and experience the golden age of aviation, the vintage aircraft and the open cockpit of flying," DiLoreto said. "It's a chance to experience something very rare."

Morgan is a beautiful, sweet, playful, gentle gal who has been interviewing families for over 600 days. She was a stray to our friends at Adams County Humane Society on May 2nd, 2011 and was transferred to Milwaukee Animal Rescue Center on August 20th, 2012.
Morgan is very slow to warm up to strangers so the families she interviews don't always get to see what a truly wonderful girl she is! With the help of our trained volunteer socializers, Morgan has made tremendous progress building her confidence while in our care. Catnip is among her very favorite things in life - she loves to let a little loose! Morgan is very kind an unassuming and holds a very special place in the hearts of the staff and volunteers at the Center. Her ideal home will welcome her to adjust at her own pace and continue guiding her down the path to confidence. Once settled, her family can expect to catch her playing (usually by herself) or cuddling up to her favorite person. She will make a great companion for the right family!
For more information about Morgan and the other animals at Milwaukee Animal Rescue Center, visit the website at milwaukeearc.org and click on the adopt link. If you are interested in meeting this lovely girl, stop in the Center during open hours or return your completed adoption application to the Center to schedule an appointment.
Visit us at 5217 S. 51st in Greenfield (on the corner of 51st & Loomis).
Milwaukee Animal Rescue Center hours:
- Tuesdays 3-7pm
- Thursdays 3-7pm
- Saturdays 12-3pm
*or by appointment.
Those interested in potential adoption should plan to arrive at the Center at least 30 minutes prior to close so the adoption counselor has adequate time to devote to the visit.

The G3 helmet is the latest release from Cookie Composites of its full-face helmet. It is a result of significant refinements to the G2 and Gas helmets.
The G3 features the original VMech Visor Locking System that works unlike any other in the industry. The system makes for easy opening and positive locking of the helmet visor. The visor is 2mm polycarbonate and features a complex curved design for extra strength, unsurpassed field of view and an anti-fog coating. The helmet's cinching system is simple and secure, adjustment can be made to customize the helmet fit and once locked down just throw the helmet on and jump.
The G3 helmet features a unique choice of replaceable Mouth Pieces depending on your needs. The Slim Mouth Piece is used for jumpers who require or prefer the mouth to be visible in freefall. This option is ideal for instructors or tunnel use. The second is a Contoured Mouth Piece used to direct your breath through the front vent of the helmet. This option is ideal for jumpers in humid of fogging conditions. Note that the helmet ships with both Mouth Pieces as standard.
The G3 Helmet comes standard with a clear visor. The tinted visor can be added to your ordered and swapped out with a Phillips-Head screwdriver.
The new High Impact ABS helmet shell makes our already durable helmet almost indestructible. The G3 also incorporates d3o in the helmet liner. The helmet is available in 6 sizes and 14 different colors.
The G3 comes standard with Black ABS locking plates as well as a black drawstring helmet bag.
Customize your G3 with aluminum visor locking plates in a variety of colors. A separate set of locking plates anodized in your color choice can be added above. All colors of aluminum plates are in stock with Cookie engraving.
There are many European wind tunnels that do not allow the use of the standard aluminum side plates as brushes with the walls can effectively create marks. The tunnel version of the G3 side plates incorporate an outer ABS material surrounding the inner aluminum, which solves the wind tunnel issue. The outer ABS has a textured finish to provide extra grip when using gloves as well.
Further customization with a name up to 20 letters along the bottom of a set of aluminum visor locking plates is available. Turnaround time is 2-4 weeks.
Logo or large engraving on the center of a set of aluminum locking plates is available. The file for the custom engraving should be e-mailed to email@example.com. The file size needs to be greater than 250kb to ensure engraving quality. Vector based formats like Abobe Illustrator or Corel Draw work out the best, per Cookie. Converting .jpgs to a vector format may change the image depending on the quality. All engraving will be white in color with varying shading based on the side plate color. Turnaround time logo laser engraving on the locking plates is 2-4 weeks.
The Sony Action Can Sleeve or the Contour Rail Mount can be added to the side of the G3 ABS or Aluminum Visor Locking Plate to attach either of those POV cameras. There is currently not a cutaway system available for the G3 helmet, so keep that in mind if deciding to attach a camera to this helmet.
In close consultation with world champion teams such as Arizona Airspeed and Arizona Arsenal, Cookie designed and tested the G3 in environments encountered by professional skydiving teams.
Key criteria for the G3 helmet are:
- Thicker Visor for better protection
- Visor locking system that cannot fail and leave the wearer with an open face shield in freefall
- Low jaw line, increasing peripheral vision and communication
- Increased ventilation for the hour long wind tunnel sessions
The New G3 Helmet Features:
- High Impact outer shell made of ABS
- 2mm Injection molded poly-carbonate Visor with anti fog coating that meets optical standard
- Secure Visor Locking Mechanism
- Increased Peripheral Vision
- d3o Impact protection liner
- Front and rear vents
- Velcro-less liner cinching system
- The ability to wear certain glasses beneath the visor
The d3o liner in the G3 helmet is a specially engineered material made with intelligent molecules. They flow with you as you move but on shock lock together to absorb the impact energy. Traditional skydiving helmet liners are made from a range of material like PE and EVA with an exterior comfort covering. While these materials are fantastic for thermo forming and comfort, its ability to transmit impact forces is limiting. The d3o material surpasses other materials in its ability to transmit forces.
The G3 is available in six different helmet sizes through padding installed in two shell sizes creating the most comfortable fitting helmet on the market. Using a tape measure please determine the circumference of head to the nearest 1/8 of an inch. Do this by placing the tape measure around the widest part of your head which will be above the eye brows and ears. Available sizes include: xsmall (51-52 cm or 20-20.5 in), small (52-53 cm or 20.5-20.75 in), medium (53-55 cm or 20.75-21.5 in), large (55-57 cm or 21.5-22.25 in), xlarge (57-59 cm or 22.25-23 in) and xxlarge (59-61 cm or 23-24 in).
Cookie G3 use and fitting instructions can be downloaded at this link.
Note: ChutingStar attempts to keep nearly every color in every size in stock. In certain circumstances where a size or color is temporarily out of stock, you will be notified of what is in stock as well as a turnaround time for the exact color you desire.

Ubisoft Planning on Releasing More WP Games; Including Rayman Jungle Run and Others.
In all honestly Windows Phone has some serious shortcomings when it comes to games, especially if one is perhaps converting from iOS which has some console quality graphics on their games (Arkham City, Infiniti Blade 1 &2 and others). Windows Phone on the other hand gets games that might have "cute" graphics (ragdoll run, Haunted) but nothing that WOWS you. Hopefully that'll change as Ubisoft have announced/leaked some upcoming titles for WP which include Rayman Jungle Run, Rabbids go phone again and Monster Burner.
Hopefully this is the start of many more to come (chiefly some of the higher graphics/quality games) such as assassins creed and Tom Clancy.

i like raymen jungle
What are the best graphics games on win8 phone? I use Rise of Glory and am looking. What the best game? I hope they move some of these to RT also and 8 tablets.
There is also few more popular games from other developers are going to make their way to WP platform soon this year
How about Cave getting off their ass and fix DoDonPachi Maximum and start porting their arcade games straight over from the native C++, since WP8 supports it
It's not only about C++, it's also about OpenGL (ES) which is supported on pretty much any platform vs DirectX which is supported only on WP (and in a limited capacity, incompatible with the desktop Windows or Xbox 'versions'). Unless Microsoft directly pays them, or WP miraculously gains a significant market share, there won't be many takers willing to use two (gfx) code bases just to have their game available on the miniscule WP platform.
I guess all games don't need to use it though, right?
Not all, but most of them use it – even if for nothing else, then for composition/projecting or some discrete physics calculations. It's a common mistake to assume that OpenGL is only used for 3D stuff – there are significant benefits to be gained with 2D acceleration using OpenGL as well.
P.S. Nokia's own N-Gage 'platform' suffered from a similar problem regarding mainstream compatibility. At least you could do a wrap-layer to have OpenGL-like base (and there were a few of those wrappers), N-Gage didn't support OpenGL natively.
Far cry 3 on windows phone. It would be awasome.
let keep hoping

Gena Britt of Clinton plays banjo in several ensembles, including three collaborations that have won IBMA awards. She's now with Sister Sadie, an all-female band of bluegrass veterans that has played in Nashville and beyond and is planning an album in the near future.
But by day, Britt has a job far removed from the spotlight. She's a loan assistant at a bank, where she processes paperwork and occasionally is recognized by customers who happen to be bluegrass fans. Her boss and coworkers know about her other career and are flexible with her work schedule, she said, which is key.
"My main career now, at this particular time in my life, is the bank," said Britt, who also has two elementary school-age children. "That's what pays my bills, that's what helps me support my family. I'm more or less doing music now because I love it. I think a lot of bluegrass musicians would say the same thing."
Julie Elkins, a banjo player in Raleigh, also plays bluegrass for the love of it – and she tries to nurture that love in others by teaching music lessons. The lessons also provide a more reliable way to keep money coming in.
Even Lorraine Jordan, whose band, Carolina Road, has become a household name to many bluegrass fans, still owns and runs Jordan Driving School in Wake County, a business she calls "my bread and butter." (She also has plans to open a coffee shop and bluegrass music venue in Garner in the near future.)
There's money to be made in bluegrass, the women say, but it isn't easy.
"Every dollar that you make in this business, you have to work hard for it," Elkins said. "It's not like people are just throwing money at you because you're talented."
She advises people who want to make a career of bluegrass to "keep an open mind, but probably keep a day job, too."

Get yourself to Buffalo State and Jamestown Community College this week to check out most of the teams below.
This is the final poll before the final poll -- the next one will be published in our All-Western New York issue well after the season.
Every week 10 voters participate in The News' large and small school polls for boys basketball. The poll is published Tuesday in the Sidelines of the Scholastic Spotlight.
Here are our previous looks at the basket: Preseason, Poll No. 1, No. 2, No. 3, No. 4, No. 5, No. 6, No. 7, No. 8 and last week's.
And here's this week's ...
Large schools
1. Nichols [16-6] [last week: 1] - Some people bristled when, during Canestro's absence, I said that with him the Vikings wouldn't have lost the Monsignor Martin games it lost. There should be bristling no longer. With the Manhattan Cup mission complete, these guys are hoping to be playing until March 28.
2. Williamsville South (14-3) [3] - Setting up to possibly be quite the postseason for the Billies.
3. North Tonawanda (14-3) [4] - NT No. 3? Yup, they were extremely impressive again against Sweet Home.
4. Canisius (19-4) [2] - I just didn't see the same team ball that South, NT and even Timon played in the most important games of the year, which is why they drop here. After taking a critical look at their late-season schedule (crushed twice by Nichols, crushed St. Mary's twice, survived in OT against St. Joe's) and with other teams on this list having a few more games to play, the Crusaders could drop further.
5. Bishop Timon-St. Jude (17-6) [5] - Put up a better fight against Nichols than Canisius. I thought about moving them up a spot.
6. Orchard Park (14-2) [8] - Great bounce-back at home over North in quarters after losing to Lackawanna. ECIC I matchup against Clarence is going to be fun.
7. Jamestown (14-3) [9] - After an up-and-down regular season, they seem to have found a serious stride to reach Buffalo State yet again. And when the Red Raiders get to the familiar orange-and-black court, you might have to pinch them: No Sweet Home? No Falls? Some serious poll upside here.
8. East (11-11) [10] - Talk about upside. Jackson is back, but I couldn't return them even close to the poll heights I had them (No. 1 during Nichols Canestro-less run) after one game.
9. Maryvale [NR] - After being boxed out of the top 10 all season, they arrive here as they arrive at Buffalo State. Sounds about right.
10. Clarence [NR] - You win at Niagara Falls in the postseason and you earn a spot in this poll.
Sweet Home is a clear No. 11 and they might be back.
Small schools
1. Olean (15-2) [1] - Another candidate for a long basketball month.
2. OTC Middle College (15-1) [2] - And another.
3. Depew (14-2) [3] - From here on down gets a little crazy, but we're keeping the Wildcats here.
4. Grover Cleveland (12-3) [10] - Win big on the road against a ranked team in the playoffs with your sniper (Ricky Alejandro with eight threes!) and that will make you elevate quicker than Kadeem Hillman.
5. St. Mary's (15-8) [4] - Canisius loss was not pretty. Tough to gauge these guys.
6. Lackawanna (14-3) [6] - Toughed out a win over Alden. OP win gives them edge over next two B-2 guys. Playing some nice defense in these low-scoring games.
7. Wilson (15-2) [5] - City Honors played its best game of the season, and Wilson did win, but you'll take a hit when you struggle at home in the quarters as a top seed. Plenty of time to move on back up.
8. Allegany-Limestone (14-4) [7] - Might be fitting that they're right below B-2 buddy Wilson.
9. Maple Grove (9-7) [8] - See above about a long basketball month.
10. Medina (12-5) [9] - We'll keep them here just ahead of Cassadaga Valley, largely because the season-ending loss was to a good Grover team.

By Keith Eddings
---- — LAWRENCE — On a warm late-summer evening in a middle-class, south-side neighborhood, Daniel Rivera is waging what he calls his ground war.
Working from a map highlighted with the streets he'll walk and a database showing the names and voting history of every adult in every home along the way, Rivera heads up a driveway on Mount Auburn Street.
A middle-aged woman responds to his knock at the door, looking a little startled and not very interested.
"I'm Dan Rivera and I'm running for mayor," Rivera says. "Have you thought about the race yet?"
"Not really."
Undaunted, Rivera launches into a monologue he'll repeat several times over the next few hours: he'll bring industry and jobs to the city, hire dozens more cops, fix the schools and repair the city's battered reputation.
The woman, who asks to be identified only as Kathy, starts to warm up.
"You work very hard," she tells Rivera. "I see you everywhere."
The candidate beams. He reminds her that the election is Sept. 17 and turns back down the driveway headed for the next one.
The voter he's looking for next door isn't home. He leaves a brochure with her son and makes a request.
"Let her know a chubby guy running for mayor came by," Rivera — 5 feet nine inches tall and 290 pounds — calls over his shoulder as he turns for the next house.
It's a political strategy rooted in one-on-one contact and supported by a disciplined campaign organization that Rivera says will help him unseat a charismatic incumbent whose campaign is equally disciplined.
In all, Rivera said he and his volunteers have visited 3,000 homes since he became the first of five challengers to enter the race on Feb. 4 with a promise to remove the "toxic" pale he said has settled over the city over the last four years, brought on by the indictments, scandals and patronage that he says have marked Mayor William Lantigua's four years.
Rivera waves off suggestions that he supported the mayor for too long.
"When you think about all those crazy things the mayor said early on, I was one of the first to say he should apologize and retract them," Rivera said, citing Lantigua's refusal to give up his statehouse seat during his first weeks as mayor and his suggestions that police are lazy and that residents should follow firefighters to make sure they're on the job.
"As soon as it became clear to me that the mayor didn't have any real interest to have an inclusive conversation about how to run this government, or that he cared about the results of his actions, then I knew the relationship had to be more adversarial," Rivera said.
He has evolved into one of Lantigua's most outspoken critics on the City Council. Last year he was elected vice chairman of the council and chairman of the budget committee. Rivera is giving up his at-large council seat after two terms to run for mayor.
As chairman, he has given a microscopic scrutiny to Lantigua's budgets, including last year, when he persuaded other councilors to cut about $500,000 from the spending plan Lantigua sent them. He said the cut allowed the city to hire more cops to contain a wave of violence that swept through the city's nightclubs later in the year.
He is an activist chairman with an expansive view of the role his committee can play on issues beyond the budget. He took his committee on a tour of the Guilmette School following the mold infestation that required a $7 million reconstruction, pushed to move jobs from public works to public safety and hosted hearings about the chaos at several polling places in the 2012 presidential election.
In an interview last week, Rivera wouldn't say which department heads he might replace, but in other interviews over the last year or so he said at least four would go: City Clerk William Maloney, acting Public Works Director John Isensee, Economic Development Director Patrick Blanchette and Building Commissioner Peter Blanchette (who is Patrick's brother).
Rivera is less specific about the influence he would try to exert over city schools as chairman of the school committee, a job that falls to the mayor. He did praise the work so far by Jeff Riley, who is running Lawrence schools for the state, including his decisions to reset benchmarks for student achievement and to add incentives for teachers. He offered his own unconventional idea for how he would motivate teachers short of giving them raises he said the city can't afford.
"It only costs you $1,600 to $1,800 to get a cottage for a week in Martha's Vineyard," Rivera said. "Say, if you can move the needle in your subject matter — we'll get the private sector to pay for it — you'll get a week in Martha's Vineyard."
As a self-described "boy from the projects," Rivera, 42, was born in the Bronx, N.Y., to a mother who immigrated from the Dominican Republic and a Puerto Rican father he never met. He lived his first five years in a densely packed neighborhood where he said an older brother taught him to get around by jumping from roof to roof.
His mother moved the family to a public housing project in Lawrence in 1976 and went to work in the mills. He left for the Army immediately after graduating from Lawrence High School in 1989 for a four-year tour as a Military Police officer that began just before the outbreak of the first Gulf War.
He was one of the first to cross into Iraq with the Army's Third Armored Division as part of a three-day expedition that he said "laid the line" for troops to follow into the ground war that routed Saddam Hussein's army out of Kuwait within days.
He was discharged in 1993 and enrolled on the GI Bill at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, where students elected him as a voting member of the university system's Board of Trustees.
He took several public-sector jobs after graduation, including special assistant to former mayor Patricia Dowling, when he recruited John Romero as police chief (Romero retired last week after 15 years). He also worked as a manager of one of the public housing projects he grew up in and then as economic development director for former U.S. Rep. Martin Meehan.
"He knew how to go out and help businesses," said Meehan, now chancellor of the UMass campus at Lowell. "He was instrumental in working with (former) Sen. (Ted) Kennedy's staff to deliver resources for Lawrence, to help expand projects in and around the vacant mills."
Rivera left government for a career in marketing in 2004. He now works for BirdDog Solutions in Andover, a shipping consultant.
He lives with his wife, Paula King Rivera, in the Mount Vernon neighborhood.
During an interview last week on the deck overlooking his slightly overgrown backyard just before leaving for another evening of knocking on doors, Rivera said he would reunite the Lawrencians he said Lantigua has divided. He cited what he said is Lantigua's failure to meet regularly with neighborhood associations and his refusal to speak in English to audiences that do not include Spanish speakers.
"It's not just Anglo (against) Latino, it's not just Dominicans (against) Puerto Ricans," Rivera said. "It's in many ways. As mayor, you're supposed to bring this community together. No settling of scores. No petty fights."
Bio in Brief Born: Bronx, N.Y., in 1970. Moved to Lawrence with his family as a 5-year-old. Education: Lawrence High School, 1989. B.A. from UMass Amherst, 1996. MBA from Suffolk University, 2003.

The March 25 article on legislation allowing sales of liquor on Sundays reminded me of a tale retired U.S. Sen. Alan Simpson used to tell about a meeting, many years ago, in a small church in a small town.
A polished raconteur, Simpson told of the fully-proportioned woman who harshly and lengthily went on defining the evils wrought by imbibing in those spirits made from the grape and the grain. It must have seemed like an eternity to a man sitting in the rear pew, whose breath was known to everyone in the town, who stood up and asked the speaker, "What about the time he changed the water into wine. ... What about that?"
To which the speaker, looking him straight in the eye, said, "I would have thought a great deal more about him if he hadn't done it!"
Indeed, it seems to me that Simpson was humorously defining a sense of hypocrisy, which appears to be part and parcel of the ongoing debate regarding the sale of liquor on Sundays in North Carolina and other states.
Perhaps, just perhaps, a bit of humor might make these political deliberations more productive. I hope so. It's time we recognize hypocrisy as a deterrent to common sense.

GRAND RAPIDS — Registration is open for the 2012 Great Lakes Fruit, Vegetable and Farm Market Expo, coming up Dec. 4-6 in Grand Rapids.
The Expo is one of the largest gatherings of fruit and vegetable producers in the United States, with more than 4,000 people attending in 2011.
"It's probably the Midwest's premier place to learn about specialty crops," said Nikki Rothwell, Michigan State University district horticulturist and coordinator of the Northwest Michigan Horticultural Research Center. "We get lots of people from the state and we actually pull out of Canada and adjacent Midwest states that grow specialty crops."
Billed as an educational opportunity for fruit and vegetable growers as well as producers interested in direct marketing, the Expo is being held at the DeVos Place Convention Center and the Amway Grand Plaza Hotel.
The 2012 agenda features 71 educational sessions relating to fruit and vegetable production, including techniques, greenhouse and other season-extension tools, food safety, farm marketing ideas and issues and organic production tips.
A new session this year will explore how farm-to-school can be a successful business venture from a farmer's perspective. It will cover pricing, packaging and marketing techniques as well as delivery systems.
Rothwell is responsible for planning programming on tart and sweet cherries.
as well as hard cider.
"In the tart cherry sessions, we're going to be talking about Spotted Wing Drosophila, which is a new invasive pest and something growers are concerned about because I think the populations are growing," Rothwell said. "In sweet cherries, we're going to be talking a lot about bacterial canker, which was our number one problem in sweet cherries this year because of the cold wet spring. There will be multiple talks on that."
Interest in hard cider programming continues to grow, she said. This year, Greg Hall of Chicago's Goose Island Beer Company will give a presentation on hard cider at the Expo.
Two separate day-long bus tours are offered in southwest Michigan, too. One is designed for farm marketers with the other focusing on greenhouse management.
Along with a trade show with 380 exhibitors covering four acres of exhibit space, the Expo will also feature a "Meet the Buyers" reception that will connect farmers with institutional food buyers and distribution companies. This is a networking opportunity that gives farmers a chance to sign up as vendors to promote their products as well as for buyers interested in purchasing local food to connect with a wide variety of growers. There is no additional cost for attendees to participate in this reception.
"I think for me and for a lot of farmers, it combines a lot of things — educational sessions, the trade show — and offers growers a way to get together in a different way, out of our region," Rothwell said. "And a lot of the spouses come, so they have dinner and get more to the social side of farming, which growers don't often get to do by themselves.
"We usually get an excellent turnout from Northwest Michigan."
Registration for the Expo is $70 per person if paid before Nov. 15. Visit www.glexpo.com to register online. Call 734-677-0503 or email firstname.lastname@example.com with questions.
For more information on the Meet the Buyers reception, contact Tom Kalchik, associate director of the Michigan State University Product Center, at 517-432-8752.
The Great Lakes Expo is sponsored by the Michigan State Horticultural Society and the Michigan Vegetable Council in cooperation with Michigan State University Extension. Additional supporters include the Michigan Greenhouse Growers, Metro Detroit Flower Growers Association and the Western Michigan Greenhouse Association.

The colleges of the Dallas County Community College District participate in the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan (Direct Loan) Program.
Important Change:
Effective Fall 2013, the colleges of DCCCD will award all aid, including loans, based on half-time enrollment (six (6) credit hours). Direct Loan limits may be affected. Enrollment statuses greater than half-time (more than six (6) credit hours) will be evaluated on an individual basis. This policy change will help to minimize student loan debt and assist in Direct Loans only being used to pay educational expenses such as tuition, fees, books and transportation. By law, federal student aid funds may only be used for educational purposes (2012-2013 Federal Student Aid Handbook, Volume 4, Chapter 2, pages 4-41).
You must be registered in at least six (6) credit hours and certified in attendance of those six (6) credit hours of course work at the college(s) to be eligible for a loan. We will check your enrollment status each time we schedule a loan disbursement. If you drop below six (6) credit hours before a loan is disbursed, you will not receive that disbursement. The loan will be cancelled and returned to the lender.

RENO, NV - High pressure to our west will keep storms away from us all weekend long. The lack of wind and lack of sunshine will make the temperatures this afternoon feel even better.
The temperature creeps up as we go through the weekend. By the middle of next week would should see high temperatures around 10° above average for this time of the year.
