Cooperstown Crier
---- — With the news this summer that the state would not be funding the CROP program in Otsego County for the 2013-14 school year, families and schools have been scrambling to find alternatives for after-school programs.
Cooperstown, Milford and Cherry-Valley Springfield central schools had all received state funds for after-school care in the Creating Rural Opportunities Partnership program. More than 200 students participated last year at the three schools. At Cooperstown alone, there were about 100 participants plus 50 more applicants, according to Superintendent C.J. Hebert.
At CV-S, the program will continue as a paid program, according to Interim Superintendent Richard Rose.
"The district had to decide if it was worth having even if we had to fund it ourselves," he said. "The decision we came to was, yes, it is worth having."
Rose said about 60 students are currently signed up, and that his understanding is that the program has had as many as 100 students when it was the CROP program.
"We are beginning to charge those families who can afford to pay for it," he said. "We will continue to provide it at a discount or for free for low-income families."
In Milford, the program has been disbanded. According to a letter from the former CROP director, Miriam Murray, an attempt to organize a new program at MCS failed because of a lack of interest.
"The number of responses fell far short of the number required to fund the program," Murray's letter said. "Due to this lack of enrolled students, MCS is unable to pursue the proposed after-school program."
In the town of Hartwick, near Cooperstown and about 8 miles from MCS, the Brookwood School is preparing for an increase in attendance for its after-school care, according to head of school Gina Reeves.
"A lot of it is wait and see, (but) more people have definitely signed up," she said. "Obviously we can't do it for nothing, but we are definitely trying to help provide care for those families that need help."
Reeves said that any children that qualify for free or reduced lunch programs will also qualify for a reduced rate on hourly after-school care.
"As an advocate for children, the most important thing for me is to figure out how we can help," she said.
CCS has agreed to offer a bus from the schools directly to Brookwood in the afternoons. Twice a week, they will also run a late bus from Brookwood to take children home.
"I am very thankful to the administration at Cooperstown for their collaboration," Reeves said. "C.J. Hebert and (elementary principal) Teresa Gorman have been great to work with us so that we can make this work for parents."
Reeves said she has also reached out to MCS officials to see if there is a way to bring kids from Milford.
"My understanding is that they are trying to see if they can work something out," she said. "Obviously the biggest thing is transportation."
CCS has also modified its transportation policy to include bus drop-off at the Clark Sports Center.

PETA to USDA: Seize Neglected Elephants
Following reports of chronic neglect of elephants held by Florida-based exhibitor Jorge Barreda, who uses elephants for rides and rents them out to circuses like UniverSoul, PETA is calling on the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to confiscate the elephants and relocate them to a sanctuary so that they can receive the treatment that they urgently need. USDA inspection reports dating back to April indicate that Barreda has repeatedly failed to provide vital care for the elephants' feet, which can lead to serious, and even fatal, abscesses, infections, osteomyelitis, and other problems.
Foot problems are extremely serious—they are the number one cause of premature death in captive elephants in the U.S., who are forced to stand for long hours on hard surfaces instead of walking for up to 30 miles a day as they would in the wild. Despite the necessity of foot care, circuses and other animal exhibitors often neglect this critical aspect of elephants' health.
Please avoid all circuses that use elephants and other animals and urge your family and friends to do the same. Click here for a list of animal-free circuses.

How can you know this and not doing anything against it??? How can human beings so heartless to animals??? Shame on you! Please stop this and et animals live in peace in a sanctury!!!!!!!!!!!!
DO something to STOP this!
Please don't do this to our animals; they are helpless, voiceless, they depend on us…please give them freedom, so they can heal…they deserve to live under different, more humane conditions
I agree we are our own worst enemy this makes me sad to be human!! The thought to do this to us would not occur to them!!!!!
Stop the exhibition of animals in circuses!
human beings are simply the worst thing that happened to this planet…
Please speak out for the elephants to avoid circuses with animals!!!
I cannot believe that this still happens! These elephants need to be removed from this situation immediately and those responsible need to be severely punished! This is disgusting!!!!
DO something to STOP this!
Let these animals have a life of dignity in a sanctuary. Stop circuses with animals.
it is our duty to care for and protect all of nature. We have more knowing, intelligence and power and it is our role on the planet to protect all of the lower life forms, just like the angels protect us.
Stop the exhibition of animals in circuses!
Let them roam in a warm preserve where they can recuperate & live normal lives w their friends.
What shame to human!
Animals are not born to entertain, stop making money from cruelty – this is a disgusting industry.
I'm against exhibition with animals!!! That has to be banned and right now!
Please have some humanity….they do not deserve to suffer
So many circuses have been caught abusing elephants. It's ridiculous that they are still allowed to have elephants! Absolutely unconscionable!
Please STOP the ABUSE towards these Elephants, they belong to the wild not a circus!
I really hate circuses who have animals as an entertainment. Take cirque du soleil, they have the most amazing performances and there are no animal in their shows. I say NO to circuses with animals!

So I ran up a small cluster on AWS – with an m1.large for the master node and 2 core nodes, also running m1.large. I used the US-West region (Oregon) – which offers the same cheap price points as US-East but is 100% carbon-neutral as well :). This was all running using spot instances in a VPC. For interest, the total AWS cost for 24 normalised instance hours (I actually ran the cluster for just over 3 hours, including one false cluster start!) was $1.05. Using developer standard units of cost, that's nearly the price of half a cup of coffee! (or since we're using Oregon region, a green tea?)
As I'm lazy, I used the code and datasets from the AWS tutorial – and decided to just use a simple count of records that contained the string "robin" in the email address field of a 13.3m row table as my comparison. Here's how you define the basic table structure…
create EXTERNAL TABLE customers( id BIGINT, name STRING, date_of_birth TIMESTAMP, gender STRING, state STRING, email STRING, phone STRING ) ROW FORMAT DELIMITED FIELDS TERMINATED BY '|' LOCATION '/data/customers/';
The output is…
[ip-10-0-0-26.us-west-2.compute.internal:21000] > select count(*) from customers;
Query: select count(*) from customers
| count(*) |
| 13353953 |
Returned 1 row(s) in 1.09s
[ip-10-0-0-26.us-west-2.compute.internal:21000] > select count(*) from customers where customers.email like "%robin%";
Query: select count(*) from customers where customers.email like "%robin%"
| count(*) |
| 66702 |
Returned 1 row(s) in 1.73s
A slight aside – Impala uses run-time code generation to compile down the query down to machine code using LLVM, and this introduces a compilation overhead of circa 150ms, but which more than pays back on the majority of queries. So this is where some of our 1.73s is going. More about this here.
Pig comparison
As a glutton for punishment, I decided to use pig rather than the more usual hive for the comparison with Impala. The first thing to say – it was way harder, as the aptly named pig is just a bit more foreign to me than the SQL-like niceness of Impala…so there was some desperate checking of cheatsheets etc to remind me how best to do it…
The basic code for the same source data (already loaded into HDFS) is as follows…
CUST = LOAD 'hdfs://10.0.0.26:9000//data/customers/customers' USING PigStorage('|')
as (id: chararray,
name: chararray,
dob: chararray,
sex: chararray,
state: chararray,
email: chararray,
phone: chararray);
C2 = FILTER CUST BY REGEX_EXTRACT_ALL(email, '(.*)robin(.*)') IS NOT NULL;
C3 = FOREACH (GROUP C2 ALL) GENERATE COUNT(C2) as cnt;
dump C3;
As you can see the pig approach ran 8 maps. The output is as follows (with all the INFO messages and some other noise removed)…
HadoopVersion PigVersion UserId StartedAt FinishedAt Features
2.2.0 0.11.1.1 hadoop 2014-04-10 12:11:13 2014-04-10 12:12:26 GROUP_BY,FILTER
Successfully read 13353953 records (9 bytes) from: "hdfs://10.0.0.26:9000//data/customers/customers"
Successfully stored 1 records (9 bytes) in: "hdfs://10.0.0.26:9000/tmp/temp1725123561/tmp-1782422819"
I was just trying it out, so this is not a fair test in some ways – and I didn't try and do any optimisation of either approach. The Impala approach ran about 40x faster, and this was consistent with repeated runs.
I checked out the CPU, IO etc and there was nothing hitting any limits, and CPU consumption when I was alternately using Impala and pig looked like this – load was even across my two core nodes, and the master had it's feet up most of the time…
I haven't reported the data here, but I also played with some nasty 3-way joins using Impala and the results were really impressive. Obviously though it's horses-for-courses – MapReduce-based approaches like hive and pig will soldier on when Impala has run out of memory for certain query types, or in the event of a node failure etc. But definitely a great bit of kit to have in the AWS EMR toolbag!

A night that has not happened in all fields so the script had preset. So they lived in San Mames surprise of the night, as the Eibar been removed at Athletic Bilbao, and Balaidos, to a lesser extent, experienced a new surprise, as Celta Vigo has overtaken Real Madrid.
And in all honesty, and not wanting to miss the Galician fans, I think very few thought that Real Madrid would stumble in Vigo. But just after a game has been pretty bad for whites, and could have been worse because the scoring for the home side became 2-0, with goals from Bermejo and Bustos. In the end, Cristiano Ronaldo appeared and left the score at 2-1, best result for a poor Madrid in Vigo. Read more »

Annual Salary Survey
Participate in the 2013 Salary Survey
In a year when manufacturing continued to lead the economic rebound, it makes sense that plant manager bonuses rebounded. Plant Engineering's annual Salary Survey shows both wages and bonuses rose in 2012 after a retreat the year before.
Average salary across all job titles for plant floor management rose 3.5% to $95,446, and bonus compensation jumped to $15,162, a 4.2% increase from the 2010 level and double the 2011 total, which showed a sharp drop in bonus.

Developing your character into someone with a rich story can be a fun and rewarding process. You likely have a good idea of what race and class you want to play, but you might not have thought out what your character's life was like before his or her adventuring career. A theme can help you flesh out your character and provide interesting options for developing his or her background.
This article details two character themes created for use with the Neverwinter setting. A seeker of Illefarn is a self-sufficient elf wayfarer who stumbles upon an ancient secret, and a son of Alagondar is a determined rebel opposing the imperialistic aims of Dagult Neverember, the lord of the city of Neverwinter.

5 tips from winning consumers
Usually, by the time someone writes in for help to solve a problem, theyÆve gotten frustrated, hit a few walls and become pretty much resigned to failure. But every so often a reader will persist Ś working all the angles until finally emerging with an acceptable solution.
LetÆs face it, not every fight can be won with even the best tactics. Sometimes, an outside party Ś whether itÆs a newspaper, government agency or other organization Ś is needed.
But if you can fight your best fight and use tactics that have helped others succeed, at least youÆll know you did what you could before raising the flag to seek help.
Here are five tips learned from fellow readers who brought their A game and put one in the win column for consumers
ĢDonÆt give up. Persistence is required. But just asking over and over again is not going to do it. Make your persistence work for you by following up on requests, asking lots of questions and reminding them that youÆre not going to go away.
ĢRemain calm. Breathe deep. Exhale. OK, now itÆs time to bring it on. The more confrontational you are, the less sympathetic youÆre going to be. Deliver your message in a professional demeanor, clearly explaining the situation, why you believe itÆs a problem and offering potential solutions. If you want your money back, say that. If youÆll be happy getting a store credit instead, then say that.
ĢHave evidence and be organized. Make a folder with any receipts, photos or other documentation to help bolster your case. The more discussion there is about facts, rather than opinions, the better it will go.
ĢA supervisor has more authority than a nonsupervisor. If you canÆt get a resolution that is acceptable to you, escalate. Politely request to speak with a manager. Remember, managers also have supervisors. The chain of command can go quite some distance, particularly at large companies.
ĢSpoken words only last for seconds. Writing lasts a lot longer. So, get it in writing. If youÆve been promised a solution in a conversation, ask them to either send you a letter to that effect or an email with what has been agreed upon.
If all that doesnÆt work, my email address appears below.
Mitch Lipka is a nationally known consumer columnist and runs TheConsumerChronicle.com. He lives in Worcester. You can find him on Facebook at http://on.fb.me/MitchLipka. If youÆre having a run-in with a business, think youÆre being mistreated as a consumer or have seen something that you think your fellow consumers ought to know about, let him know.

Well the news is out and it's good.
According to USA Today, home prices rose 7.5 percent last year, which is the largest increase in home prices in six years. The better news for those planning to sell their house is that home prices are projected to rise another 6 percent in 2013.
It is projected that rising home prices should encourage more sellers to list their homes for sale as sellers have more confidence in the real estate market. Additionally, the supply of homes for sale fell to 4.8 months in November 2012, according to the National Association of Realtors, which is the lowest level in more than seven years. A six-month supply of homes for sale is considered a balanced market (aka equilibrium between buyers and sellers.)
Homes that didn't move for a year started getting activity as buyers came off the sidelines, their confidence in the housing market and their financial situations greatly improved.
That confidence, coupled with record LOW interest rates and rising rents, has been the fuel the real estate market needed. Add to this the low inventory seen in Pittsburgh and you've got buyers motivated to make a purchase. We have even seen multiple offers on homes in 2012 and the trend has also been seen in 2013.
2013 might be your year to sell. Start planning, engaging professionals and doing as much of the legwork as soon as possible. You only have one chance to be "Just Listed" in this new market.

Somerset —
Coming into the 2012—'13 high school basketball season, the Southwestern Lady Warriors were looking for regional supremacy while the Somerset Lady Jumpers were simply looking for respect.
Last night at Somerset's Briar Patch in Southwestern's season opener, Tim Rice's club got all it wanted and then some from a Lady Jumper team that had lost the night before in its season opener at Garrard County.
After seeing an 18-point first half lead whittled down to just two points late in the game, it was the Lady Warriors doing just enough to escape The Briar Patch with a hard-fought, 63-56 victory over Somerset.
"We're in a situation now where we're not seventh or eighth graders, because we've played 90 to 100 varsity games," stated Rice after the contest.
"If we play like this the rest of the season with the kind of schedule we've got, it's going to be a long year," added the Southwestern coach. "We had way too many turnovers, and we simply didn't play well tonight. You've got to give congratulations to Somerset, because for them to be down 18 points in the first half — a lot of teams would have packed it in — but they continued to play hard and fought for everything they were given. I'm glad to get the win, but to be honest, this feels more like a loss."
Early on, this one had all the makings of a big-time blowout by the Lady Warriors.
Southwestern came out on fire, rolling to a 21-6 cushion over Somerset after one stanza, and building its lead up to 18 points — 30-12 — midway through the second quarter of play.
At that juncture, first-year Somerset head coach Erin Walker called a timeout, and whatever she said to her club during that stoppage of play certainly hit home with her team.
The Lady Jumpers ended the half with a 12-4 spurt, trimming the deficit to 34-24 at the break.
"Our team fought like dogs tonight and they never gave up," stated Walker after her club fell to 0-2 on the season.
"I told them after the game that I was proud of them for fighting back, but we can't let ourselves dig that hole in the first quarter that killed us," added the SHS coach. "We did the same thing last night at Garrard County. We had one bad quarter and it cost us that game as well. We just have to learn to put four quarters together. If we can learn to do that, we will win a lot of games this year."
Maranda Mills — who tallied 16 for the Lady Jumpers in the loss — picked off three passes in the second half that all resulted in her going all the way to the basket for layups.
Mills' first steal and score midway through the third period trimmed the Lady Warrior lead to 36-32, but Southwestern would then respond with a mini-run of its own.
On three consecutive trips downcourt, the Lady Warriors knocked down treys — two by Adison Corder and one by Brittany Combs.
Thanks to that flurry from downtown, Southwestern eased the lead back up to 50-38 heading into the fourth quarter.
"We went through that during pregame," stated Walker.
"We knew that Southwestern can really shoot the three, and are very good from the perimeter," added the Lady Jumper coach. "But, we gave them some open looks, and then on a couple of occasions, we had a hand in (Adison) Corder's face and on (Brittany) Combs, and the shots still went in."
Trailing Southwestern by those dozen points with just eight minutes remaining, Somerset had one more run left in the tank.
A Mills steal and layup trimmed the deficit down to 54-50, and seconds later, Bethany Edwards picked off a pass and went coast to coast for a bucket, trimming the lead down to 54-52.
However, that would be as close as Somerset would get.
A Samantha Fitzgerald basket extended the margin out to 56-52 on the next trip down the floor for Southwestern, and after a Somerset miss at the other end, Destiny Molden would sink five of six free throws down the stretch, helping the Lady Warriors hold on — or escape — the 63-56 win.
"I guess I'm a 'glass is half empty' kind of person," stated Rice after his club's win.
"I honestly expected more from us," continued the Lady Warrior coach. "I thought we played an excellent first 11 minutes tonight. We were making shots and our defense was clicking — we may have just ran out of gas, I just don't know. I do know this — to be the kind of basketball team we want to be this year, we're going to have to play much, much better than we did tonight."
Corder, on the strength of three made three-pointers in the game, led Southwestern with a game-high 20 points, while Samantha Fitzgerald scored 11 of her 12 points after the intermission.
Molden added 10 points, and the Lady Warriors also got a huge lift off the bench from freshman Elisabeth Latham.
Latham scored eight points in the win for Southwestern, while pulling down a game-high 11 rebounds, while blocking six shots.
Somerset meanwhile got a big night from Madison Brooks with 19 points and nine boards.
Mills added 16 points, and Virginia Scott tallied 15 for the 0-2 Lady Jumpers.
Both clubs will be back in action this weekend with home games.
On Friday night, Southwestern will host Boyle County in its home opener, while Somerset will return to The Briar Patch on Saturday night to entertain Madison Southern.
Both games are set to tip off at 7:30 p.m.
SOUTHWESTERN — Corder 20, Fitzgerald 12, Molden 10, Combs 8, Latham 8, Venable 3, Fothergill 2.
SOMERSET — Brooks 19, Mills 16, Scott 15, Edwards 4, Brown 2.

Early Years
He was commissioned to the substantive grade of second lieutenant on October 31, 1854, and was transferred to the new 1st United States Cavalry on March 3, 1855, then headquartered at Fort Leavenworth on the Kansas frontier. On November 14, 1855, he was married at Fort Riley, Kansas Territory, to Flora Cooke, the daughter of Colonel Philip St. George Cooke, and in the following month, December 20, 1855, he was promoted to first lieutenant. He was wounded in a skirmish with the Cheyenne Indians on the Solomon River in Kansas on July 29, 1857. In October 1859 he served as volunteer aide to Robert E. Lee who had been dispatched to Harpers Ferry to deal with John Brown's raid, and, under a flag of truce, attempted to negotiate the surrender of Brown and his followers. Hollywood has twice filmed this incident, with the role of Stuart played by Errol Flynn in Santa Fe Trail (1940) and by John Lupton in Seven Angry Men (1955).
Manassas to Fredericksburg
Stuart burnished his legend by executing the famed "Ride around McClellan," leaving Richmond on June 12, 1862, with 1,200 troopers and circling the Army of the Potomac in a three-day raid that supplied Robert E. Lee with the intelligence necessary to launch his counteroffensive against the Union right wing north of the Chickahominy River—which came to be known as the Seven Days' Battles—that ultimately resulted in the repulse of George B. McClellan's advance against the Confederate capital. This raid also contributed a badly needed boost to Confederate morale—then dwindling due to the loss of New Orleans and most of Tennessee and to the horrible bloodletting at Shiloh the previous April—and provided the Confederacy with a dashing, popular young hero cut from the Cavalier mold. Consequently, Stuart was promoted to major general and given command of the cavalry division—later to become the cavalry corps—of the Army of Northern Virginia.
Chancellorsville to Yellow Tavern
These brilliant achievements were cast under a cloud, however, when, on June 9, 1863, the day after Stuart's second grand review and mock cavalry battle at Brandy Station, a Union cavalry reconnaissance in force caught him by surprise. Although the Confederate horsemen rallied and drove back Union general Alfred Pleasonton's raiders, this unprecedented show of Union enterprise so vexed Stuart as to cause him to apply to Lee for permission to mount a large-scale raid in the direction of Washington, D.C., largely to redeem his wounded pride. Lee, then planning his second invasion of the North, somewhat reluctantly approved the raid. He specified, however, that Stuart, his "eyes and ears," was to maintain contact with the main Confederate army, continuing to screen its movements from Union observation and to provide timely intelligence reports.
In his greatest bungle of the war, however, Stuart, after capturing 125 Union supply wagons near Rockville, Maryland, on June 28, 1863, chose to bring them into Lee's lines rather than to burn them and move quickly back to the army. Having sacrificed his mobility for a relatively insignificant prize, he was caught behind Union lines when the Army of the Potomac marched out of Washington, D.C., and was therefore unable to carry out Lee's prime directive. The lack of intelligence from his chief of cavalry forced Lee to concentrate his forces prematurely and to fight the subsequent Battle of Gettysburg without the quality of reconnaissance to which he was accustomed.
During the long Battle of Spotsylvania Court House, Sheridan convinced Grant that his cavalry corps could interdict Lee's line of communication and supply, threaten Richmond, and deal a perhaps mortal blow to Stuart's cavalry. Stuart intercepted Sheridan at the village of Yellow Tavern, some six miles north of Richmond, and there, although outnumbered more than two to one, repulsed the Union drive on the Confederate capital in a three-hour fight. In the battle's closing action, however, Stuart was mortally wounded. "Go back boys," he told the men of the 1st Virginia Cavalry, his former regiment. "I'd rather die than be whipped." He was removed to the Richmond home of his brother-in-law, Dr. Charles Brewer, where he died one day later, May 12, 1864. He was buried in the city's Hollywood Cemetery.
Stuart and the Lost Cause
Lover of gesture, lover of panache,
With all the actor's grace and the quick, light charm
That makes the women adore him. To Benét, he was "a wild cavalier" who nevertheless seldom drank and who worshiped a God as sober as Stonewall Jackson's. Despite his reputation for flirtation and romantic charm, he was steadfastly loyal to his wife and children.
One of Stuart's great literary advocates was his wife's first cousin, John Esten Cooke, who also served as one of Stuart's staff officers. In newspaper dispatches during the war and in books after, Cooke glorified his commander's exploits, describing the famous Ride Around McClellan in terms of "the fun, the frolic, the romance—and the peril, too—of that fine journey." Although the admiration apparently was not mutual between the two men, Cooke was also responsible for a widely quoted description of Stuart's final moments, one that gave him, in nineteenth-century terms, the "good death" of a hero: As his life had been one of earnest devotion to the cause in which he believed, so his last hours were tranquil, his confidence in the mercy of heaven unfailing. When he was asked how he felt, he said, "Easy, but willing to die, if God and my country think I have done my duty." His last words were: "I am going fast now; I am resigned. God's will be done."
With Lee and Jackson, he has been enshrined as the third member of the "Holy Trinity" of the secular religion of the postbellum South, as illustrated in Charles Hoffbauer's large-scale mural, "Autumn," from the Four Seasons of the Confederacy. Commissioned by the Confederate Memorial Association in 1914 and completed in 1921 for Richmond's Battle Abbey (now the home of the Virginia Historical Society), the paintings use the seasons of the year as a metaphor for the Confederate army's declining fortunes during the war. As Hoffbauer's work suggests, even during the fall of the year, Stuart will forever be remembered as the caped Cavalier, leading his troopers through the Virginia woods and waving his plumed hat.

September 24, 1861 - J. E. B. Stuart is promoted to brigadier general.
June 12, 1862 - Confederate general J. E. B. Stuart launches his famous "Ride around McClellan," leaving Richmond with 1,200 troopers and circling the Union Army of the Potomac in a three-day raid that supplies Robert E. Lee with critical intelligence.

August 22–23, 1862 - During the Second Manassas Campaign, J. E. B. Stuart leads a raid into Union general John Pope's headquarters, collecting not only valuable materiel and intelligence, but also capturing Pope's dress uniform from the general's tent.

Facial nerve palsy due to birth trauma is the loss of controllable (voluntary) muscle movement in an infant's face due to pressure on a certain nerve in the face just before or at the time of delivery.
Seventh cranial nerve palsy due to birth trauma
The infant's facial nerve (also called the seventh cranial nerve) can be damaged just before or at the time of delivery.
Most of the time the cause is unknown. However, a difficult delivery, with or without the use of instruments called forceps, may lead to this condition.
Some factors that can cause birth trauma (injury) include:
However, most of the time these factors do not lead to facial nerve palsy or birth trauma.
The most common form of facial nerve palsy due to birth trauma involves only the lower part of the facial nerve. This part controls the muscles around the lips. The muscle weakness is mainly noticeable when the infant cries.
The newborn infant
may have the following symptoms:
A physical exam is usually all that is needed to diagnose this condition. Rarely, a nerve conduction study is needed. This test can pinpoint the exact location of the nerve injury.
Brain imaging tests are not needed unless your doctor thinks there is another problem (such as a tumor or stroke).
In most cases, the infant will be closely monitored to see if the paralysis goes away on its own.
Infants with permanent paralysis need special therapy.
The condition usually goes away on its own in a few months.
Occasionally the facial muscles on the affected side become permanently paralyzed.
The health care provider will usually diagnose this condition while the infant is in the hospital. However, mild cases involving just the lower lip may not be noticed at birth. A parent, grandparent, or other person may notice the problem later.
If the movement of your infant's mouth looks different on each side when he or she cries, you should make an appointment with your child's health care provider.
There is no guaranteed way to prevent pressure injuries in the unborn child. The proper use of forceps and improved childbirth methods have reduced the rate of facial nerve palsy.

NORMAN — There's another Bush on the ballot in Texas. George P. Bush, the 37-year-old son of Jeb and Columba Bush, is running for state land commissioner.
He's a Spanish-speaking Texas Republican, something political observers say is needed to keep Texas in the GOP camp. Democrats are busy trying to mobilize voters there.
One of the strategists who helped President Obama win re-election by using data analysis to tailor voter mobilization to the most promising areas is working in Texas.
Jeremy Bird and Battleground Texas hopes to build on their successes in Nevada and Colorado with Lone Star State voters. "This is something not to be taken lightly," Bush told the Associated Press. "It's a well-capitalized, well-financed group that's intent on developing a long-term strategy. That's problematic."
The job George P. Bush is seeking is not considered a stepping stone for any higher office. It's a rarely known administrative post, but you never know ...

I told the kids to search allrecipes for something with hot dogs - they came up with this. Now they want to eat it every time my husband and I go out. It was a big winner!
My husband decided to make this easy recipe for hot dogs and it seemed a different alternative to plain old beans and weenies. My kids were not as crazy about it as was expressed they would be. 2 lbs of hot dogs was just WAAAAAYY too much. In the end noone wanted seconds and it sat in my fridge for a week until I finally pitched it. I'll stick with plain old beans and weenies.
This is really quite good. I did modify it a bit. I only had crushed pineapple, so I used that, and I kind of guessed on the sugar (just used brown, no white)...but probably used about 1/2 cup. To thicken it, I cooked it on the stove top and let it boil for a good 10-15 min without stirring it. I always find my beans thicken that way. I also opened up hot dog buns on the plate, and scooped the mixture over it. Almost like a sloppy joe.

I ordered this rug after looking for quite some time for the perfect rug for my office. My walls are a very light blue/green and I thought a white/black/blue rug would really set it off. I ordered the "WHITE" variation of this rug. I just unrolled it and I can't believe my eyes - it isn't even close to white. It isn't even off white. Or ivory or cream. It is grey. A dingy grey. Sending a rug back is expensive and a hassle, so I'll live with it, but this isn't the first time I've ordered from Overstock where they clearly state the color "WHITE" or "Cream" and the color is something completely different when it comes. I should know by now - shame on me for this. That said, if you wanted a light grey rug, this seems to be sturdy and well made. If you want a white rug with black accents, steer clear.
I am so pleased with this rug! I got the beige color, and it is a true beige. The pile is so thick and soft - I wanted to lay on it as soon as I rolled it out! This looks and feels like a modern, expensive rug. I have received nothing but compliments on it!
I ordered this because I moved into an all hardwood floor house and needed something for my living room. I ordered the Beige and It is neutral enough that I can use it anywhere but it's been shedding since it arrived! I've vacuumed it twice and it seems to have stopped I hope! I will probably continue to shop for a more interesting rug for my living room but this will still go in any other room in my house
I am very pleased with this purchase. It met my expectations and I would purchase again.
Beautiful rug. Beautiful finished and very plush. Very happy with this choice.
I had ordered the "OFF WHITE" rug but when it arrived 2 weeks later, it was a Dirty Grey. Other than the color, the rug is plush and feels soft on the feet. This is disappointing and I am in the hassle of having to repackage it and find a UPS store to ship it back. In the midst of dealing with the issue of having to pay for return shipping. Just beware that the color is totally off - NOT OFF WHITE as advertised.
We moved into a home with a very large master bedroom, so we bought a comfy recliner and a small end table for a reading nook. The room has hardwood floors, so this gives a visual cue about the different use of the space, gives the toes a comfortable cushion, and the neutral color allows us to use deep colors on the walls and bedding. We are very pleased with the contemporary design even with the understated overall look.
This is a beautiful carpet.......plush; simple.......HOWEVER, be careful while picking the beige color. It is absolutely NOT beige.......may be, sandstone (in fact, that's what the packaging material had it listed as). It has a light greenish touch and is not like the posted picture. We decided to keep it, as returns are difficult and also because our drawing room's color scheme is neutral enough and this will not look too out of place. The carpet is nice but if you are looking for beige/ any shade of beige, this might not be for you. Arrived very fast and well packed. Thanks!
This was the first time I had ever ordered a rug online and I could not have been more thrilled with the product. It looks beautiful with off white, ecru, beige and/or light peach paint. My cats are the best judge.....they love to sleep on it.
I love this carpet. I actually got three of them and have them in my bedroom. They are very plush underfoot. The pattern and color keeps the room nice and airy. I have three dogs, one who already threw up on the rug - but it cleaned up perfecting with a little Dawn detergent and nylon brush. I have not had a problem with shedding. One of the three rugs does appear a little more grey than the others but its slight enough that it doesn't make a difference.

Annual Salary Survey
Participate in the 2013 Salary Survey
In a year when manufacturing continued to lead the economic rebound, it makes sense that plant manager bonuses rebounded. Plant Engineering's annual Salary Survey shows both wages and bonuses rose in 2012 after a retreat the year before.
Average salary across all job titles for plant floor management rose 3.5% to $95,446, and bonus compensation jumped to $15,162, a 4.2% increase from the 2010 level and double the 2011 total, which showed a sharp drop in bonus.

QUESTION: I lost my husband of 51 years during the Christmas season last year. Now, with Christmastime upon us, I am seriously struggling with having a desire to celebrate. My children are pressing me to embrace the season because they think it will be "healthier" for me. They have mourned, but seem to be working through the pain. I'm still struggling. Christmas was my husband's favorite time of the year, and every little thing brings back the memory of my loss and pain. I am caught between wanting to run away and hide and feeling guilty because I'm not able to celebrate.
ANSWER: The loss of a lifetime mate is a traumatic experience, no matter what season the loss occurs. When a couple is married from a very young age until well into their senior years, they are like two vines that have intricately intertwined. If one of the vines dies, the other vine loses its partner, but also the support system that helped to hold it up. If the loss of a mate occurs in the holiday season, then each tradition becomes a milestone of memory and a vehicle of pain. With the added stress of a holiday celebration, those who are grieving can face Christmas as a season of depression, rather than a season of joy.
Grieving the loss of a loved one takes time. In former days, women who lost a mate would wear black for as long as a year; men wore black arm bands. This was an outward symbol of an inward agony that took time to work through.
The healthiest thing for you to do is to allow yourself the time you need to finish your grieving process. If a full-blown Christmas celebration only adds to your pain, then by all means, avoid it. Allow yourself the time and space to work through the pain without feeling guilty. While I'm sure your family's pressuring you involves their love and concern for your well-being, don't allow them to push you into a guilt-driven celebration mode that you will have to fake. This will only up your stress.
Nevertheless, your family does need you. And some of their pressuring you to embrace Christmas might be a way to help them with their grief as well. If they can see you cheerfully carrying out family traditions, then it will help them feel like everything is "just like it used to be" before their father and grandfather died — even though deep inside they know it never will be.
The best thing to do in this situation is have an honest conversation with your children. Explain to them how you feel. But also acknowledge their grief as well. As a family unit, decide on the best way to manage the holidays together. That way, your family won't feel like you are abandoning them for your grief, and you won't feel like they are pressuring you into more cheer than you can bear. Purposefully choose what activities you will participate in, what traditions you will continue. Make a plan with your family and then stick to it. Some traditions you may want to keep. When others bring back painful memories, consider replacing them with an alternative activity for this year. For instance, if you have no desire to decorate your home for Christmas, but your children look forward to seeing the decorations every year, then invite them and the grandchildren over and allow them to do the decorating. If the old decorations bring back too many memories for you, invite them to buy new ones with a new color scheme. However, make certain the family knows that one day, you will return to the old decorations and traditions when you can remember without grieving.
The main issue is to keep communication open with your children but also stick to your boundaries on what you are able to endure. Also, I recommend a great book by Harold Ivan Smith (Beacon Hill Press of Kansas City), "A Decembered Grief: Living with Loss While Others are Celebrating."

APEX — Retired Army Sgt. Jeffrey Lynch tells his friends he's not a hero.
The real heroes are the soldiers who don't make it back from battle, he says.
But his friends, his family and now a national housing company say otherwise.
On Friday, Meritage Homes gave a 2,066-square-foot home off Bell's Lake Road to Lynch. The donation was organized by Operation Homefront, a nonprofit that supports military families.
The experience was strange for Lynch, who lives in Fayetteville. Many of his fellow soldiers are deserving of such praise but aren't around to receive it, he said.
Despite his modest attitude, 29-year-old Lynch went through a lot during two tours in Iraq.
In 2006, the Humvee Lynch was riding in was ambushed. It struck a telephone pole, and part of the pole went into Lynch's abdomen.
The Hawaii native later returned to combat, and was wounded again in 2007. This time, he had to learn to walk and talk again.
Tragedy struck closer to home the following year. Lynch and his wife had a son, LJ, who died shortly after he was born.
On top of it all, Lynch suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder. Each day is a battle.
On Friday, Lynch and his wife Christy and their 4-year-old daughter Catelyn walked through their new home, taking it all in.
"I still don't believe it," Lynch said, his eyes watering as he thanked a group of organizers standing in his new living room. "I can't thank you enough."
"It feels like we're gonna wake up and it'll all be gone," his wife said. "Things like this don't happen to people like us."
Their friend, Mike Kuchinsky, is filming a documentary about the mental effects of military veterans. He said few are as deserving of praise as Lynch.
"He's an amazing man, considering what he's been through," Kuchinsky said.
Lynch is helping Kuchinsky with the documentary. They hope it can be used as a training tool for veterans with PTSD. They note that an average of 22 veterans a day commit suicide as a result of PTSD or other brain injuries.
The project is already doing what it was intended to do, Kuchinsky said, because it's given Lynch something to think about and work on – an essential part of PTSD treatment.
"Soldiers need a mission," Kuchinsky said. "Their symptoms get worse when they don't have one."
Kuchinsky knows Lynch won't have any problems devoting his time to something: "Jeff's a giver," he said.
It was only right that someone gave back to Lynch, said Ryan Wells, division president for Meritage Homes.
"It was an honor," he said.

Following last Saturday's Silver Creek Holiday Tournament championship game — won by Providence 38-36 over Clarksville — both the Pioneers and rival Generals feel like they came out of the game with a little momentum.
Class 2A No. 4 Providence got the tournament title and left with an 8-0 record. But sixth-ranked Clarksville outscored the Pioneers over the final three quarters and nearly pulled off a come-from-behind win.
Clarksville's Austin Johnson's potential game-winning 3-pointer went in and out last Saturday, setting up what should be another thrilling meeting between the Class 2A powers in the Clarksville city championship tonight.
"It's two good teams two miles away from each other," Clarksville coach Jason Connell said. "We know each other very well. It was such a great ballgame [on Saturday]. We both have a little momentum going in. It should be a great game again."
"They know they can beat us, and I'm sure they're very angry they didn't beat us because they had a chance to beat us," Providence coach Lou Lefevre said. "In that regard, the intangibles go toward them. We didn't show in the [holiday tournament win] that we were the better team. It was two even basketball teams, and at the end of the game, we had one more basket than they did. I think they're probably very angry they didn't pull out the game and they're coming back to get this one.
"When two teams are pretty even, it probably favors the team that didn't win the first one in the next one. Our job is to try to beat a team that's at least as good as you and be able to go out the second time and outscore them, and that's what our job is."
Clarksville came into the season the higher ranked of the two teams. After a 5-0 start, the Generals have dropped two of their last three.
The loss to Providence hurt twice as much. It kept Clarksville from the tournament title and, of course, it came against a Providence program to which the Generals hate losing to more than any other.
"It gives us a little more motivation," Clarksville senior Aidan McEwen said. "Clarksville-Providence is a big game every year, but this gives us a little more motivation to get redemption."
"I definitely feel like since we beat them in the holiday tournament, they're going to come out with a chip on their shoulder," Providence senior Dalton Duley said of Clarksville. "I think it will be just as close as it was last game. Both teams are so competitive with each other, it should be an all-around good game."
History says Clarksville could avenge the tournament loss tonight. Just since Lefevre took over at Providence in 2004-05, twice the Pioneers have beaten Clarksville in the holiday tournament only to lose to the Generals in the city championship.
In 2005-06, Providence beat Clarksville by 17 points in the opening round of the tournament and the Generals got revenge in the regular season, 52-47. The next year, the Pioneers beat their rivals 50-30 to claim the tourney title, but Clarksville won at Providence in a 34-33, five-overtime thriller a week later.
"We've gone from winning the Christmas tournament to losing the next game, and that's no fun," Lefevre said. "The fun of winning the Christmas tournament goes away quickly when they come back and knock you off the next week. The problem is with these games is every time you win, it makes it more difficult to win the next time. If we were to win again, it would give them a huge advantage in the sectional. I've been coaching long enough to know that beating a good team multiple times in a season almost never happens."
In last Saturday's win, Providence jumped out to a 17-8 lead after scoring the first six points of the second quarter. The Generals know they'll have to avoid another slow start to give Providence its first loss tonight.
"The first two, three possessions, we just weren't doing what we need to do," Connell said. "We have to stick with what we do. It's been a great week of practice, so maybe we'll be more focused and better prepared this time."
"We have to come out fast," McEwen said. "In the [last] Providence game, we came out sluggish."
Another factor in the Pioneers' win was their dominance on the backboards. Providence out-rebounded Clarksville 24-19 and scored several of its points on offensive putbacks.
"We gave up way too many offensive rebounds," Connell said. "That's something we stressed going into [last Saturday's] game."
"They're overall a lot bigger than us," McEwen said. "We feel like we have to get rebounds, and if we do that, we have a pretty good shot."
In the holiday tournament, Providence was able to keep the score low. Having held their opponents to a state-best 33.1 points per game, that would appear to be the Pioneers' preference.
McEwen said a key to tonight's game will be to get more points in transition.
"We definitely want to make it an up-tempo game," he said. "We have a team of athletes and we like to get up the floor. It's a contrast in styles. We'd like the game in the 50's or 60's rather than the high 30's."
If Clarksville wants to run, Providence will be happy to do so, Lefevre said.
"I know that everyone thinks that's what I want and that's our style," he said. "I don't have any one style. I want our team to look for transition baskets and get as good a shot as they can. What happens is very few teams pressure us and we don't press, so it always ends up a half-court game. In a half-court game, the scores are always going to be low.
"I think people get a mistaken impression. There are some teams that pressure us and we win 70-65 sometimes. I don't have any desire for a certain tempo. If [Clarksville] wants to play fast, then we have to beat them playing fast. If they want to play slow like they did last time, then we'll have to beat them that way."
After the first meeting, neither coach had trouble complimenting his opponent.
"They do a really good job of doing a lot of different things," Connell said of the Pioneers. "They're so fundamental. They don't do anything spectacular. They don't try to do things they can't do. If you're going to beat them, you have to beat them at their game."
"They have a team of star players," Lefevre said of the Generals. "They can run and jump and shoot and they're smart. They can do so many things. They always have multiple players on the court who can score. Everything is difficult in preparing for them. You have to stop a multitude of things. I think when they play us, they have to worry about stopping us, too. I guess that's what we're both considered good teams."
Both head coaches admitted that playing twice in six days isn't the best situation. Connell would like to see a chance in the schedule beginning next season.
"I don't like this scenario," Connell admitted. "Five days after playing them having to play them again. I'm going to try to get the game moved. I think it will be good for everybody. It's tough to deal with. You have to deal with it. But as a coach, it's not a lot of fun."
"You can't ever get the schedule perfect," Lefevre said. "You have to just go out and play."
The Generals' 6-2 start isn't exactly what they had in mind for a team that entered the season ranked in the top-five. However, Connell said he likes the way things are progressing for his squad.
"Six and two, I'm not upset with that," Connell said. "I'm happy with where we are. To have a chance to win the holiday tournament at the buzzer, you can't ask for much more. We knew this year, the wins and losses may not be where they were at last year with a more difficult schedule. But at the end of the year, it will help us for tournament time. I think we're more of a basketball team this year. I like how this team plays."
Tonight's showdown could be the second of three meetings between the Generals and Pioneers. While the sectional would clearly be the biggest of the three meetings, both teams know that tonight's city championship is huge for both sides, as well.
"It's a really big game for us," McEwen said. "It will be the biggest game we played this year. It's a good game for momentum for the rest of the year. If we're able to pull this one out, it should give us a lot of momentum for the conference schedule."
"It's a big game for everybody," Duley said. "It will be a big win if we can pull it off. I feel like Clarksville's going to be wanting this win and we have to match their intensity. If we do that, we should come out on top."

It's the holiday season, and while the rest of us get to exchange gifts and take time off of work, President Obama is still taking lumps of coal from critics.
Critics evaluating Obama's performance thus far are doling out lumps of coal this holiday season despite the president's proximity to achieving his top domestic priority: health care reform. Reviews of his performance have been mixed, but Obama has spent much of December fending off criticism from the right and left alike as he defends decisions on climate change, Afghanistan and the dismal economy:

Register staff report
Eastern Kentucky University police booked a student into the Madison County Detention Center at 7 p.m. Monday in connection with a bomb scare on campus earlier in the day, according to EKU spokesperson Marc Whitt.
Jacob A. Walker, 18, a first-semester freshman from Jefferson County, was charged with first-degree terroristic threatening, according to the detention center's website. The felony charge carries a possible sentence of five to 10 years in prison if convicted.
A small refrigerator wrapped in duct tape with a note attached was found at 4 p.m. in a Palmer Hall corridor. Residence hall staff evacuated the dorm and summoned police, Whitt said.
A Kentucky State Police bomb squad and a bomb-sniffing dog were called to investigate. Authorities later found the refrigerator contained only rotten meat, Whitt said.
At 6 p.m., Whitt announced that investigators had determined a threat no longer existed, and students were allowed to return to their rooms in the residence hall. Normal activities also were allowed to resume outside.

The Mohawk school board has approved a $21.7 million budget that holds the line on taxes.
Board members this week approved the 2013-14 spending plan of $21,714,781, which is about $1 million greater than the current year's budget. The additional funding, officials said, is because of money required for pension programs.

The district anticipates revenues of $4,749,043 from real estate taxes, $61,000 from a $10 per capita tax, $1,090,000 collected through earned income tax, $65,000 through real estate transfer taxes and $9,678,198 from a state basic education subsidy.
Additional money to balance the budget will come from the district's fund balance.
The board approved the budget on a 6-0 vote. Eugene Butch Jr., Jonathan Laugher, Diane Gwin, Scott Singer, Mark Hiler and board president Ted Morrow voted yes. J. James Curatola, Lori Griffin and David Spears were absent.
By the same 6-0 vote, the board approved the 2013-14 budget for the Lawrence County Career and Technical Center. The district's share is $564,095.
