Republican Congressional candidate Don Peloquin was featured in two articles for The Regional. After nearly 30 years as mayor of Blue Island, Peloquin is ready to take his ideas to Washington as a new voice for the 1st District.
As one of the article states, "The Republican candidate has spoken to several mayors in the south suburbs and said he has the support of many of them. Some went on record shortly after the re-districting last year, expressing concerns that Rush would be putting more time and effort into Chicago's needs than the suburban communities' needs."
Learn why a vote for Peloquin will be a vote in the right direction for the 1st District.

On occasion, we post something on our blog that gets a little more than the usual attention. See if you agree:
Pickling: Onions, Zukes And Jalapenos
Yowza! That's the word of the month. A little while back, you wouldn't find me in the kitchen due to how much gardening I had to do. (Not to mention the big event that has now come and gone.) I took every shortcut and pulled out all my tricks for lots of quick meals since time was too precious to waste. But now that things have settled down, the plants are busy doing their growing thing and the next event is a few weeks away, I can relax and enjoy being inside again. I decide it's time to find a few new recipes to tackle since I have a booming garden and meals are practically free. Makes the homesteader in me very proud. I take a (leisurely) stroll in my garden and see this:
Wood Ash: A Hen's Best Kept Beauty Secret
Trying to go Au naturel in providing everything your chickens need for good heath? It's hard to do isn't it? So what about using DE (Diatomaceous Earth) for mite prevention? It's a natural substance so it should be okay to use, right? Well, do you raise your own bees? Do you depend on them in your garden? Then you'll have to give the DE a rest (or take extra special care with it) since it seriously affects the bee population too, sometimes killing them. But don't give up yet, there is a better way.

From Staff reports
The Northeastern State baseball team dropped a narrow 12-11 decision to Truman State Saturday afternoon at Thomas C. Rousey Field.
The RiverHawks fell to 3-3 overall and in the conference, while the Bulldogs improved to 2-4 both overall and in the MIAA.
NSU served as the visiting team on the scoreboard because TSU was originally scheduled to play host to the RiverHawks. The change of venue occurred due to poor weather conditions in Kirksville, Mo., and the contest was treated as a home game for the Bulldogs.
Northeastern State took a quick 4-0 lead, but Truman State scored three in the home half of the first and went ahead 5-4 after a two-run second inning.
NSU plated two in both the third and fourth to lead 8-5, but the home side scored seven unanswered runs over the course of the next three frames to lead 12-8 after six.
The visiting RiverHawks plated one in the eighth and two in the ninth, but they were unable to find a tying run as they lost by one run.
Senior center fielder Trent Wilkins led Northeastern State with a 3-for-5 day at the plate. He drove home two and scored twice. Junior designated hitter Kyle Singleton was 3-for-6 with two RBI and three runs. Junior right fielder Cody Robinson and junior third baseman Manuel Marmol also drove home two.
Senior Brandon Compton pitched the first 1 1/3 innings, but he allowed five runs on eight hits and was relieved by sophomore Kyle Shambaugh. Shambaugh (0-1) was tagged with the loss after allowing four runs (two earned) on four hits in 3.0 innings.
Sophomore Dymin Morillo, freshman Wilson Klutts and sophomore Hayden Walch combined to toss the final 3 2/3 frames. Morillo allowed three runs on two hits.
Blake Marino was 4-for-5 for the Bulldogs. He drove home two and scored a run. Paul Trenhaile recorded three hits and drove home three, while scoring twice. Joe Emery was 3-for-4 with three runs scored and two RBI.
Truman State outhit Northeastern State 15-13.
Tim Lee pitched the first 2 2/3 innings and earned a no-decision after allowing six runs (four earned) on five hits.
Mark Roberts (1-0) threw the final 6.1 innings and was awarded the victory. He allowed five runs on eight hits.
The two squads will lock up for a two-game set in Tahlequah Sunday beginning at noon.

Ha Ha Holmes! The Hound Of The Baskervilles: Joe Pasquale
There's a beast on the moors, a crime to be solved, and with the Ha Ha team on the case what can go right?!
You'd be absolutely barking to miss this pipe-smoking new show from
theatre's funniest parodists as Holmes and Watson embark on their most
dangerous adventure yet - hunting down The Hound Of The Baskervilles!
It's elementary! It's also downright hilarious as comedy national treasure
Joe Pasquale takes on the role of Sherlock Holmes. As one of the UK's top stand ups Joe brings mirthful merriness to proceedings, but is he skating on thin ice?! With Ben Langley as Doctor Watson and Andrew Fettes as everyone else, this sure-fire wonderfully ridiculous show is well worth an investigation.
Has the Baskerville beast bitten off more than it can chew when confronted by our crime stopping team? Will Holmes find his Deerstalker and will the deer be happy when he does? Stick some shag in your pipe and visit 221b Baker Street for the most gripping comedic thriller of the age!!!
'As clever as it is witty... a real laugh out loud evening' (The Stage 2012).
Joe Pasquale
Unique television comedy star and popular panto performer with a unique brand of madcap humour and familiar songs delivered in Joe's own inimitable style. His unique voice has been described as a 'cartoon waterfowl' and a 'demented helium balloon' but audiences still flock to see him! He was crowned King of the Jungle in the 2004 series of the ITV gameshow, I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here.

New York Times is dismantling enviro desk
The New York Times is shutting down its desk devoted to environmental coverage.
On its face, the change doesn't look to be good news for environmental reporting, especially in the context of other recent cutbacks at the Times. The editor and deputy environmental editor posts will be eliminated. The rest of the staff will be reassigned to other parts of the paper.
In this story, it's instructive to listen to what the Times has to say:
Environmental reporting has become increasingly multidisciplinary, stories are "partly business, economic, national or local, among other subjects," said Dean Baquet, managing editor for news operations.
Arguably, the beat has been this way for a long time. A story on fracking isn't merely about about water pollution, but also energy security, gas prices and local politics.
The shift by the paper doesn't necessary portend weaker coverage of the environment.

Lee, thanks for relaying the explanation, which makes sense.
Agreed, this could be a good thing. It's easy to ignore environmental/nature issues when they're branded as such, given all the other issues of the day, but it's also foolish, given their inherent links with economics, health issues, etc. To the extent that reporters trained in asking and understanding important questions regarding environmental issues will be placed in other areas such as business, this could be beneficial to readers.
Bet the GOP is dancing on all of our polluted waters...

I was having this same issue and figured out how to fix it. If you have the allow bullets and lists option checked make sure that you also have the use tab delimiter only option also checked or it starts creating a list automatically after every period. With tab delimiter option checked it will only auto list after a tab.
At least this fixed the problem for me.
Do you know how to turn: "Allow bullets and numbering" back on?

We have issued an update to correct a problem a small number of Mac and 64-bit Linux users have experienced when doing certain types of floating point computations on very recent hardware (such as this report on MaplePrimes: http://www.mapleprimes.com/questions/201815-Problem-Loading-MKL-In-Maple-18). When the problem occurs, instead of giving the result, Maple issues a "lost kernel connection" error message and must be restarted.
While this issue does not occur on most computers, we recommend that all Maple 18 customers running on Mac or 64-bit Linux install this update to ensure they do not encounter this problem. This update can be safely applied to any Mac or 64-bit Linux computer. Windows and 32-bit Linux users do not need, and cannot install, this update.
To get this update, you can use Tools>Check for Updates from within Maple, or visit Maple 18.01a Downloads.

The two Codex discoveries included The Gospel of Mary, the Sophia of Jesus Christ, and the Gospel of Philip, among others. For a long time, they were considered unimportant. But in the last decade, biblical scholars have begun looking at these texts more closely. The Gospel of Mary, for instance, dates to about 125 C.E., according to King, which places it among the oldest texts of the early Christian church. By way of comparison, the Gospel of John was written in the 90s C.E.
Particularly in the Gospel of Mary, Mary Magdalene is depicted as having special knowledge of Jesus: "Peter said to Mary, 'Sister, we know that the Saviour loved you more than the rest of women." In the Gospel of Philip, she is described this way: "There were three who always walked with the Lord: Mary, his mother, and her sister, and Magdalene, the one who was called his companion." Some scholars point to these passages as possible proof of the Jesus and Mary Magdalene relationship.
A slightly more common view among liberal scholars is that whether or not Jesus and Mary Magdalene were intimate, she was as important as Peter. In fact, they say, Mary Magdalene was an apostle, but her story was suppressed by early church fathers who excised the Gospel of Mary from the Bible in the 5th century.
And that is the idea that "The DaVinci Code" may popularize.
"They didn't attack Mary Magdalene because she was Mrs. Jesus," says liberal scholar John Dominic Crossan. "They attacked her because she was a major leader, that she was up there with Peter and the rest and they fought like hell to put her back down in her place."
Crossan does not believe Jesus was married. In fact, he considers the entire question an insult to Mary Magdalene, because it implies that she is important only through marriage. "To say Jesus was married to Mary Magdalene is a putdown, unless you say she was clearly as important as Peter and that's the reason she's married to Jesus."
Crossan believes, instead, that Jesus wasn't married to anyone-because he was too poor to afford a wife and children.
In any case, many scholars agree that in the 4th Century, around the time Constantine converted to Christianity, church patriarchs began trying to suppress women's leadership roles in the Christian movement. At the Council of Nicea in 325 C.E., convened by Constantine, Jesus' divinity was debated and voted on. Later, as the church evolved, the 27 books of the New Testament were canonized-and the Gospel of Mary and the others were thrown out.
Liberal scholars say that, among the reasons these other books didn't make it into what is called the "biblical canon" are that they include clear evidence of Mary Magdalene's importance in Jesus' ministry, and that they portray Jesus less as the Son of God and more as a great teacher preaching about an interior spiritual path.

I'm going to interrupt my series on individual therapists to introduce a respected colleague, David Fisher, MFT. David and I have worked together for many years and he accepted my invitation to write an occasional guest column on this blog. Today his message is a timely one, dealing with the "holiday blues." I'll be back next week.
David writes:
What Are the Holiday Blues?
We're all enjoying the warmth and closeness of family and friends during this "season of joy", right? Then how come so many people get "the blues"? The contrast between the festive mood surrounding you and your own 'blah' feeling naturally makes you wonder why you're not 'feeling it'. The Holiday Blues like all blues, is like a fever. Just as a fever is a sign that something is not quite right physically, the Holiday Blues could be a sign that something is not quite right emotionally.
For parents the holidays blues is about the children. Parents want to make everything right for the holidays. They wish the hurts, rivalries and misunderstanding which all families experience, will magically vanish during the holidays. When they don't parents feel that somehow they have failed. This leads to disappointment and the blues.
The holiday blues is about money. The recession and slow recovery created unemployment or underemployment for many. People can't afford things they once could. The message of the season is 'buy, buy, buy.' The emphasis on looking good in the eyes of others instead of relating in a genuine way often brings on the holiday blues.
The holiday blues is about alcohol. People drink to celebrate the holidays. There are often many gatherings where there is an expectation to drink, and subtle, or not so subtle, pressures to drink more then you normally do. Perhaps the memory of a previous holiday when a family member went from 'Dr. Jekyll' to 'Mr. Hyde' reminds you that the holidays were not always happy times. Some people drink more then they should to cope with tension from all the pressures of the season. Since alcohol is a depressant, it's no surprise — they've got the holiday blues.
The holiday blues is about loneliness and grief. We remember loved ones who are no longer with us. We miss the holiday rituals we shared, like decorating the Christmas tree or lighting Chanukkah candles. Their absence during these activities is a sad reminder of how much we miss them. If you are single you might have the blues because you don't have a special person with whom to share holiday activities.
So here's a few helpful hints to deal with the Holiday Blues. Make a list of pleasurable activities and make time to incorporate them into your busy holiday schedule.
A healthy diet, exercise and adequate rest are a remedy for the blues.
For parents of young children keeping to everyday routines as much as possible is reassuring and reduces stress.
If you know someone who is a good listener share your feelings about your holiday blues.
Most of all, take time out to help others. You can be that good listener. If you've achieved sobriety, you can help someone still struggling with alcohol abuse. There are many gifts you can give to those less fortunate then you, that don't involve money.
That's how you beat the holiday blues!

About two dozen companies, including Citizens Energy Group, have expressed interest in owning or operating the systems, which city leaders said could generate as much as $400 million to build roads and sidewalks and make other improvements while potentially protecting customers from large rate increases. [...]
By 2025, the city expects to spend more than $4 billion to make upgrades to the water and wastewater systems. Those improvements are expected to increase water rates by 112 percent and wastewater rates by 427 percent during that time period.
Under those projections, today's average water bill of $28.07 would increase to $59.64, and the average sewer bill would go from $19.89 to $104.83 during the same period.
Robert Vane, Mayor Greg Ballard's deputy chief of staff, said the mayor's goal is to help reduce those future costs by either partnering with private companies or signing off on Citizens Energy's acquisition of the utilities. He said it was too early for Ballard to offer a specific goal for how much future increases could be reduced.
Other potential bidders include prominent industry players like Veolia Water, United Water, Macquarie Capital, CH2M Hill, and Black & Veatch. The trade publication Public Works Financing reports separately that the city plans to issue a Request for Proposals next month, with bidder selection likely slated for early 2010.
Matthew Tully at the Indianapolis Star comments on the politics of the proposal, speculating that Indy Mayor Greg Ballard's focus on core infrastructure is likely to be viewed favorably by voters:
Cash-strapped cities such as Indianapolis have few options in addressing massive infrastructure backlogs. Typically, annual city budgets for street repairs don't even keep pace with new problems. And so, cities fall further and further behind every year.Reflecting back to my recent commentary on the use of upfront proceeds from transactions like this, I'd say that the proposal as shaped thus far would score high on the fiscal responsibility meter, as it would re-invest the bulk of the transaction proceeds back into long-lived infrastructure. As I've said before, it's great to see Indianapolis re-embracing privatization under Mayor Ballard's watch, and this particular initiative has the potential to be as groundbreaking as Indy's managed competition was in the early 1990s.
With that in mind, the mayor is aiming for a "once-in-a-generation effort to address what are generation-old infrastructure problems," spokesman Robert Vane said Monday. [...]
The money gained from the initiative wouldn't come close to solving all of the city's infrastructure problems. But there would be a one-time infusion of cash that would allow the city to plow through years of backlogged projects.
If he can do it, Ballard would put a serious dent in a problem that has turned city streets into third-rate roadways and has left many residents waiting decades for new sidewalks to replace the crumbling messes outside their homes. He'll have helped address a depressing gap in quality between streets and sidewalks within the city and those in suburban areas. He also will have focused on exactly the type of issues mayors should target. [...]
The "un-mayor," as he was once called, was elected to address the nuts and bolts of local government. Nothing is more nuts and bolts than fixing streets and sidewalks. If he can find a way to pump an extra $150 million or $200 million into those problems, he will have tackled a matter that affects the daily life of every Marion County resident.

AT&T flips the switch on LTE in seven more cities
AT&T continues the rollout of its LTE network, today adding seven more cities across the US.
- Tunica, Mississippi
- Athens, Tennessee
- Lafollette, Tennessee
- Tallahassee, Florida
- Salinas and Monterey, California
- Lawrence, Kansas
AT&T continues its steady rollout of LTE, doing its best to catch up to Verizon. If you live in one of these cities, come on over to the iPhone 5 forums and show off your LTE speeds.
Source: AT&T, via Android Central
There are 7 comments. Add yours.
I'm from Salinas/Monterey and that flip was switched like 2 months ago! Speeds are great :)
Speeds are good but still seem pretty spotty. Hopefully the coverage maps will catch up soon too so we can see where the coverages holes are. ....speeds are good when you can get them though!
Tallahassee, here. One day it was off. Next day, it was on. Weird not to have known beforehand, but very cool.
Just highlights the now extreme contrast between AT&T and Sprint speeds.
They should text people a warning before turning on lte,
your data will run out quick at those speeds.
Make a mistake and click download all in iTunes instead of downplay a song, good luck stopping the downloads before it chugs through 250 - 500 Meg's of data.
Didnt have 4g lte in tunica so ill try again tomorrow
Nope I guess they still haven't turn the 4g lte switch on today

A community health needs assessment of the Twin Counties and Galax has found nine core problems that need to be addressed in the area.
The problems including obesity, diabetes, chronic diseases (heart disease, pulmonary, high blood pressure, cancer), economic issues, substance abuse and mental health issues, lifestyle behavior and education, access and aging, family/responsibility and teen pregnancy, and smoking/tobacco use.
The findings were discussed June 5 during the quarterly Community Advisory Group meeting at Twin County Regional Hospital.
HILLSVILLE — The Carroll County Public Service Authority (PSA) held a public comment period during its June 9 meeting, to give citizens an opportunity to share thoughts and concerns about the possible expenditure of project contingency funds for the Fancy Gap Water and Coon Ridge Water Projects.
Two citizens who have questioned the PSA's handling of water projects spoke, again voicing concerns about public notifications of meetings and a perceived lack of government transparency.
BRISTOL — Hillsville Mayor Greg Crowder's appeal of his conviction for impersonating a law enforcement officer was continued last week, and now has been rescheduled as a plea hearing, according to Bristol Circuit Court records.
This is the appeal's second continuance, according to the records.
The hearing is scheduled for June 20 at Bristol Circuit Court. There is no indication about what plea Crowder intends to enter.
A posting in a local yard sale page led to the arrest of Kevin Leonardo Mittman, 33, of Galax on June 10.
Galax Police Department Sgt. Shawny Jones received information that Mittman had posted an ad on a Facebook yard sale page, offering a firearm for sale. As a convicted felon, Mittman is prohibited from owning a gun.
Police made arrangements to meet with Mittman to complete the transaction for the gun. Mittman was taken into custody and a firearm seized.
"Memories on Main" car show in downtown Galax proved quite a draw for vintage, antique and custom car enthusiasts this year. Along with the cars, entertainment was provided by local group Loose Strings, along with food, book and license plate vendors.
On hand to greet showgoers was Michigan's Scott "Scooter" Strenzel, a car magazine journalist and author of the "Scooter's Garage" column, who was there to give out a special award and write articles about the event and various articles on display.
Staff Reports
HILLSVILLE — State police responded to multiple tractor trailer accidents throughout the day along Interstate 77 on June 6.
The first accident happened at approximately 2:55 p.m., on the interstate's southbound lane approximately 1.5 miles north of Virginia 620 in Carroll County, according to a police report.
Canute Forbes, 35, of Pompano Beach, Fla., was operating a 2001 Peterbilt tractor trailer belonging to F&H Trucking of Pompano Beach when he lost control of the vehicle and it overturned.
MOUTH OF WILSON — Country music star Vince Gill will headline the 20th Annual Wayne C. Henderson Music Festival and Guitar Competition this year.
The family-friendly event is scheduled for June 21 at Grayson Highlands State Park near Mouth of Wilson in Grayson County.
Also on stage will be Bill Kirchen, Dale Jett and Hello Stranger, the Snyder Family Band, Kazuhiro Inaba and Wayne Henderson and Friends.
The Independence Blue Sox won the 8-under USSSA state championship in Roanoke, over teams from the counties of Botetourt, Roanoke, Pulaski, Wythe and Henry. The Blue Sox outscored their opposition a combined 90-39 in their six games.
RADFORD –– One gets the impression that if the Virginia High School League offered big rock chunking, pole climbing or flat tire changing at its state track and field championships, Clif Conley would have placed somewhere among the top five or so.
This is a guy who took up cross country just last fall and ended the season as a state champion. In May, he was a jumper and a middle-distance man, nowhere among the top times even locally in the 1600 meters. Saturday at the Group 1A track and field championships, he was crowned the state champion in that event.
RADFORD – It's the great conundrum of what is the state tournament: for all the success necessary to get there, and for all the elation of having done so, the majority exit it empty-handed and disappointed, some downright heartbroken.
The Twin Counties were well-represented in the tennis portion of the VHSL's highest level of competition, but the Grayson County boys' team, Galax's girls' doubles team and the Maroon Tide's No. 1 boys' singles player left under less than perfect circumstances.

HOUSTON—Ask anybody who was friends with Whitney Houston and they'll tell you about her megawatt smile and her runway model beauty. But more than anything else, they'll talk about that show stopping voice.
"What I looked at when I heard her and saw her perform was, 'Man, that is so phenomenal,'" said Yolanda Adams. "Wow."
Adams had plenty of opportunities to witness firsthand what Houston could do in a performance. The two future Grammy winners met each other as teenagers in New York.
Both of them had roots in gospel music. Both of them were statuesque models. But their paths diverged as their musical careers developed, with Adams finding her voice in gospel and Houston veering into the realm of popular music that would make her a global phenomenon.
"I was just in awe," Adams remembers. "I was like, 'Oh my God! She's so wonderful! She's so sweet! Oh man, we kind of look alike!'"
Adams recalled how Houston generously donated money to charity, causes like schools and programs to help battered women, and then insisted in writing that her gifts remain anonymous.
But more than anything else, Whitney Houston influenced a generation of American vocalist, even changing the way they interpreted the national anthem. As the world watched Whitney, other singers listened and learned.
"You know what it takes to get to that register that she had," Adams says. "You know what it takes to, you know, take the breath so slightly before you approach a note. And it took a lot of discipline."
As she listened to Houston's vocal range, Adams began to compare her to other great female singers of the 20th century, from Barbra Streisand to Celine Dion. And she realized she and other vocalists could learn a lot listening to the choices Houston made as she performed.
"The normal person would descend," Adams said "Instead, she kept rising and rising and rising vocally—and powerfully. The timbre and the tone of her voice were always so great. So those are the things you look at to say, 'Hmm. How can I incorporate that in what I do?'"
As Hollywood incorporated Houston into cinema, she recorded the best-selling soundtrack in music history, "The Bodyguard." She co-starred in the movie of the same name with Kevin Costner. Overnight, she became a movie star.
And yet, Adams remembers something else.
"I think of the music," she said. "I think of her legacy. That's what I think of when I think of Whitney."
That's what survives to this day—the ongoing influence of a spectacular American voice.

Traverse City Record-Eagle
---- — When Michigan launched its brownfield redevelopment program in the late 1980s, it was an innovative way to rehabilitate contaminated sites.
The key, as the program was first conceived, was that it was reserved for so-called "orphan" sites which had no clear owner or the owner of record no longer existed. They were supposed to be sites with no future outside public dollars.
One of the first brownfield projects in the state was the old Ironworks property on the south side of the Boardman River near Cass Street in Traverse City, which eventually became River's Edge. It spurred a major redevelopment and added millions to the city's tax base.
For taxpayers, the investment was worth every dollar.
But the law has changed and a site no longer needs to be "orphaned" to qualify for public funding. The program has become essentially developer welfare. Traverse City has seen a number of sites owned by successful, existing businesses qualify for public money, essentially lining the pockets of developers at taxpayers' expense.
The county's Brownfield Redevelopment Authority has done it again. It recently granted more than $620,000 in tax reimbursements for two Eighth Street houses built in the 1890s.
The houses contain asbestos, lead paint, and coal dust, and some of the money would go to remove and dispose of those hazardous materials - just what brownfield programs were built to do.
Those costs would total $147,000; but other work now allowed by law includes reimbursement for site preparation and building demolition, plus site improvements, including sidewalks and utility connections.
That could have taken the total to nearly $900,000, but the Brownfield board reduced that to just over $625,000. Dr. Debra Graetz, who wants to bulldoze a house at East Eighth Street and Railroad Avenue for a physicians office, got $232,682. J. Socks Construction, which plans to spend $2.8 million to construct a three-story, 20,264-square-foot building on the northwest corner of Eighth and Cass, will get $395,000. Only $64,000 of that would be for asbestos, lead paint, and to remove coal contaminated soil.
Helping spur development is fine, but "helping" must be the operative term. Offering $147,000 in tax reimbursements to clean up asbestos is one thing; more than $625,000 is too much.
Some officials hope to spur similar work on dozens of older homes around town. While $300,000 or so per property would be too much, picking up the remediation tab would be a start taxpayers could afford.

Anti-Tobacco Efforts Gain Steam

At the same time that a new study out of Massachusetts reveals that tobacco companies are steadily increasing nicotine levels in cigarettes, the fight to limit the health impacts of tobacco is gaining new steam. Ballot measures will be considered in eight states this fall regarding tobacco. And in Virginia, where tobacco is king, Governor Tim Kaine is considering a ban on smoking in state buildings.
Big Tobacco is on one hand among the easiest targets of progressive campaigns -- the industry profits from death and public smoking creates an enormous nuisance for the majority, non-smoking portion of the population. On the other hand, the industry can rally massive spending. According to the Christian Science Monitor, a single tobacco company is spending forty million dollars fighting the initiatives this fall.
Given that Tim Kaine is picking a fight on tobacco's native soil, one might predict a tough fight for him. But his public musings of whether state buildings should prohibit smoking was foreshadowed by passage in the Virginia Senate of a ban of smoking in virtually all public areas -- including private businesses. While that bill went into defeat in the House of Delegates, it drew bipartisan support.
Meanwhile, the eight ballot measures advancing this fall are a record for the anti-tobacco movement. Among the measures:
- Arizona -- Supporters have qualified an initiative to prohibit smoking in virtually all public places with enforcement provided by a $.02 per pack tax on cigarettes. Limited exceptions to the ban exist.
- California -- A coalition of public health organizations is backing Proposition 86, which would increase tobacco taxes by $2.60 a pack, under a recommendation from the CDC.
- Florida -- Issue 4 in Florida devotes 15% of the state's tobacco settlement to fighting tobacco and preventing kids from ever adopting the habit.
- Idaho -- A referendum from the legislature seeks public approval to use money from the tobacco settlement to create a permanent endowment for the state and protect an on-going anti-tobacco fund in Idaho.
- Missouri -- Supporters of a tobacco tax are fighting in court over whether they filed enough signatures. The Secretary of State says the measure fell 274 signatures short of the 23,527 needed to qualify. Supporters say valid signatures were not counted.
- Nevada -- Voters may have the opportunity to consider two measures: a stricter, public health-backed measure to would ban smoking in many places and a business-backed alternative keeping smoking legal in more locations.
- South Dakota -- Measure 2 increases South Dakota's cigarette tax by a dollar per pack and increases wholesale tobacco taxes simultaneously.
- Washington -- Initiative 901 prohibits smoking in restaurants, bars, and other public spaces.

Scholarships Honor Service Members, Veterans, Families
There are many sources of educational aid available to those who have served our country.
Memorial Day is a day of remembrance for the soldiers, sailors, and all who gave their lives in service to the nation, and it's also the traditional transition between the school year and the summer. As such, the recent Memorial Day holiday provides an ideal time for us to take a look at educational scholarships and financial aid opportunities for veterans returning to the homefront and looking to head to school.
For active duty veterans who have been honorably discharged within the past 15 years, the G.I. Bill remains the No. 1 financial aid option. The G.I. Bill has been around in various forms since the end of World War II; the most current iteration is the Post-9/11 G.I. Bill. If you're a veteran with 36 months of service or more, it will pay full tuition and fees at public institutions, plus a housing allowance and textbook stipend.
Those with shorter service terms will receive a sliding percentage of the benefit; those going to private schools will receive up to $17,500 toward tuition and fees per academic year; active reservists are also eligible for funding under the Reserve G.I. Bill. Different options and criteria abound, so check out the site thoroughly.
[Read about challenges facing veterans going to college.]
The G.I. Bill provides a great opportunity for service men and women to further their education, but it's also not a one-size-fits-all solution. If there are gaps in your educational funding after your G.I. Bill benefit, we'd encourage you to check out this listing of veterans' benefits provided by each state. Each branch of the military also provides a tuition assistance program that may be able to supplement your funding.
Finally, if you find yourself transferring frequently, make sure you're familiar with the Servicemember Opportunity Colleges; this consortium of 1,900 colleges and universities works with the armed forces to ensure smooth transfers of credits and relaxed residency requirements for service members, so you don't have to retake classes or pay out-of-state costs.
Private scholarships can also provide assistance for both general education and specific programs. The Pat Tillman Foundation's Tillman Military Scholars program awards renewable scholarships to active and veteran service members and their spouses, in tribute to the former NFL player and Army Ranger who lost his life in Afghanistan. The application for this year closed in mid-March, but keep an eye out for next year's opening dates. And AMVETS, the American Veterans group, gives out a number of different annual scholarships to veterans, their children, and their grandchildren.
[Read why scholarships are essential.]
For more specific scholarships, there are programs such as the one through Swift Transportation, which provides 1,000 full-tuition scholarships to the company's four trucking academies; if your service has been geared toward transportation, it's an opportunity to consider. And if you've spent some time working in the chow hall and want to further your cooking career, the International Culinary Center just announced that it will be awarding $1 million in scholarships to veterans for study at its New York and California campuses.
Finally, your military service can mean tuition benefits for your spouse and dependents, too. In addition to the programs mentioned above, spouses and children of active-duty soldiers can benefit from the ThanksUSA scholarship, a program started in 2005 by two elementary-school sisters who wanted a way to thank the nation's troops. This year's program just closed; applications are typically accepted between April 1 and mid-May.
The Military One Source site lists a number of other options for spouses, including the MyCAA career-advancement program, recently restarted after being discontinued for a few years.
Last, but certainly not least, the families of those who have lost their lives in service can turn to the Department of Veterans Affairs for survivor and dependent assistance, to the specific military branches for programs like those offered by the Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation, and to funds such as Tribute for the Troops, which provide for surviving dependents pursuing college.
Matt Konrad has been with Scholarship America since 2005. He is an alumnus of the University of Minnesota and a former scholarship recipient.

FORT GIBSON – Brooke Palmer did just about anything she wanted to do Friday night against the Catoosa Lady Indians.
Palmer shot 9-of-13 from the field then dominated the paint with 11 rebounds, five of them on the offensive end, pushing 4A No. 2 Fort Gibson to 21-0 on the year as the Lady Tigers cruised to a 72-46 win over the Lady Indians.
Palmer's night started out fairly pedestrian until Suzie Hill came off the bench to punch in five first-quarter points to loosen up the inside game. From there, Palmer took over in the second quarter pumping in 10 of the team's 19 points.
"We had a practice revival of sorts this week," said Lady Tigers coach Jerry Walker. "We spent the week trying to find ourselves and work on our mental toughness and working on being more physical up and down the court."
The toughness was evident as the Lady Tigers turned in a defensive performance that set the tone early on. Forcing 12 turnovers in the opening quarter alone, and 27 on the night, Fort Gibson fought for every pass and contested every shot that the Lady Indians put up allowing just 7-of-26 shooting from the floor in the first two quarters.
With the defense forcing opportunities, the offense pushed the lead to a 16-2 advantage with 1:20 left in the first quarter even though the Lady Tigers only connected on 31 percent of their shots.
"We had much better ball movement tonight and our intensity showed up forcing the turnovers," said Walker. "Our pace was better and Brooke (Palmer) did a great job not only working inside but passing the ball."
Building a 38-18 halftime lead, Palmer, Kilpatrick and the rest of the Lady Tigers put the second half in cruise.
The Lady Indians did make a push coming out after intermission with a 19-point barrage ignited by Kayla Jones' seven points. However, Palmer stepped up once again with eight points in the third quarter as the Lady Tigers took a 56-37 lead into the final stanza.
Kilpatrick finished the night with 11 points off the bench and found five rebounds as Taylor London chipped in nine.
FGHS 75, Catoosa 34
It didn't matter where the Catoosa Indians looked, all they saw was Jordan, a pair of them in fact. Jordan Hill and Jordan London combined for 40 points, leading sixth-ranked Fort Gibson to an easy win Friday night, improving their record to 18-3 on the season.
The Tigers shot out to an 18-6 first quarter lead, then showed no mercy as they led 42-6 at halftime, forcing 15 turnovers in the first half and lead by as much as 45 points late in the third quarter.
Lead by Hill and London, the pair combined for more points in the first two periods than the visiting Indians had as a team, 25-6, and London pulled down more rebounds in the first half than the visitors.
"The kids got off to a good start," said Tigers coach Gary Hendrix. "We passed the ball well, saw the open man and we just got them (Indians) down early. I was very pleased at our effort and our guys showed very good intensity all game long."
With London and Hill having free run with their shots, it was Ned Adair, Zach Lindley, Jake Gandara and Collin Abdullah that kept the open looks coming with precision passing and ball movement.
"Hill and London ran the floor well and shot well but it was a team effort moving the ball around to the open man," said Hendrix.
Lindley chipped in with nine points as Adair and Gandara added five each.
The only despondent point on the night was the Tigers' free-throw shooting. They connected on 10 of 26 from the charity stripe.

Hartford, CT (September 5, 2012) - The Connecticut League of Conservation Voters Education Fund today released a comprehensive transportation guide for Connecticut. In an easy-to-read format, the guide is a call to action that promotes a vision for an efficient 21st Century transportation system. The guide serves as a roadmap for the public, legislators and policy makers to build a better statewide transportation system that helps Connecticut economically, while respecting natural resources and sense of place.
"Investing in transportation is an investment in Connecticut's future," said Lori Brown, Connecticut League of Conservation Voters Executive Director. "It has become a central issue in our state, impacting everything from our health and natural resources, to the economy and a sustainable future."
Transportation is a top priority for the state and the region. The Coalition of Northeastern Governors (CONEG) recently named Gov. Dannel P. Malloy its lead governor for transportation. Gov. Malloy will serve as the chief coordinator to advocate and advance transportation policy initiatives for CONEG.
The guide spells out the benefits and options available for creating a better transportation system for the environment, the economy and public health. It gives context to investment issues such as Amtrak's new $150 billion high speed rail proposal. Lessons from other states are also highlighted.
Transportation impacts everyone and costs us all. Investing in a transportation system that provides connectivity and travel choices to serve all users results in positive economic benefits and creates jobs.
James Redeker, Commissioner, Department of Transportation said, "This authoritative and thoughtful guide - crammed with information all of us can use - will be an important tool and resource as we move Connecticut and its multimodal transportation network forward. Whether you're commuting to work by train or carpool, walking your child to school, or biking across a covered bridge, we are making every effort to enhance the system everyone counts on every day. CTLCV is to be commended for pulling this guide together and encouraging us to stay involved at every level."
In Connecticut, transportation produces 43% of greenhouse gas emissions with single passenger cars producing the largest share. Reducing congestion on our roads and miles traveled by car will reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve our air quality. Stormwater that runs off the roads into nearby waterways carries pollutants into our water. Better transportation planning and use of innovative techniques can improve water quality.
Daniel Esty, Commissioner, Department of Energy and Environmental Protection remarked, "The CTLCV transportation guide is timely and relevant. Our agency is currently drafting a Comprehensive Energy Plan that considers the impact of the transportation sector on our energy needs and on the long term viability of Connecticut's environment. Many of the recommendations in this guide align with our efforts and reinforce the need for the state to set policies to reduce our energy consumption and preserve our natural resources."
CTLCV's transportation guide not only identifies issues, but also proposes action. The guide shows how to take action as a constituent, with ten policy recommendations that citizens can take to lawmakers. Concrete policy suggestions can help legislators implement a more environmentally friendly, affordable, and health-conscious transportation system. Policy recommendations include developing a multi-modal transportation system, implementing "green" infrastructure, supporting transit-oriented development, developing new sources of funding, and making walking and biking safer.
Senator Andrew Maynard (D-18), Co-Chair of the Legislative Transportation Committee said, "A well thought out and efficient multimodal transportation system is essential to both our economy and our quality of life here in Connecticut. Complete Streets and other recommendations of the CTLCV transportation guide provide a framework for transforming and connecting our communities. Pedestrian and bicycle friendly roadways and mass transit options that are part of the new system we are building will transform the quality of life and enjoyment of both residents and visitors alike."
A multimodal transportation system will also lead to better land use. Focusing development near transit stations and making our streets safer so people can easily access jobs, retail and housing will reduce sprawl and allow us to grow while preserving our natural resources.
Senator Toni Boucher (R-26), ranking member of the Legislative Transportation Committee agrees, saying, "The new CTLCV guide -- "Getting Where You Want To Go" -- shows us that we have an extraordinary opportunity to use smart growth to conserve both money and natural resources, while enhancing the beauty of our state and the quality of life in our communities. Smart growth strategies such as transit oriented development (TOD) are a great way for communities to balance their transportation needs with environmental preservation. Redefining our transportation systems to accommodate a greater variety of travel options, such as buses and rails, will reduce congestion and pollution and encourage more efficient land use."

About the Connecticut League of Conservation Voters Education Fund
Formed in 2000, the Connecticut League of Conservation Voters Education Fund is a statewide, nonpartisan, nonprofit organization that strives to strengthen Connecticut's environmental movement. The CTLCV Education Fund educates citizens and public officials about environmental issues and organizes networks of environmental groups to access political power to protect Connecticut's natural resources.

On the Web, they find something totally foreign to the traditional death care industry consumer information. Price comparisons abound, anathema to an industry that has thrived in a death-denying culture where people pay the asking price at the local funeral home and rush for the door.
Craig Bicknell, "Abra Cadaver: A Fight for Bodies," Wired News, October 19, 1999
In attempting to improve its image, the "death care" industryas the nation's funeral directors like to call themselveshas had a long way to go. Mitford's conclusion that exploitive sales practices were "routine, rather than exceptional in the nation's funeral parlors" was followed by a highly publicized investigation of the funeral industry by the Federal Trade Commission, which included 52 hearings across the country.

Changing China
Giant on the move
Does my body double really drink more than me?
I'm at the Olympics in my role as Editor-in-Chief — that means I'm doing some journalism and some "representational" work as the senior person from Reuters News and Thomson Reuters in Beijing for the Games.
In the representational role, I was invited to Chinese President Hu Jintao's state banquet along with a score of other media leaders — among them News Corp.'s Rupert Murdoch, the BBC's Mark Thompson, AP's Tom Curley, Russia's Rianovosti's Chief Editor Svetlana Mironyuk and Dr. Dinh The Huynh, member of Vietnam's Communist Party Central Committee and Editor-in-Chief of the Nhan Dan newspaper.
Held in the vast and imposing Great Hall of the People off Tiananmen Square, the banquet was an amazing opportunity to see Chinese leaders in a rare informal pose and to chat with a variety of current and former world leaders.
"Reuters? I have no problem with Reuters, but of course I'm out of all that now," former U.S. President George H.W. Bush said to me.

Roseann Fasi
Speech pathology therapist
Roseann Fasi joined the speech therapy field because she loved to talk, and wanted to help others having difficulty. "There are so many things we take for granted," shared Roseann. "We all express how we're feeling, or what we want, or what concerns us. But what would you do if that ability was taken away, and you had no way to communicate?"
Roseann assists Aurora West Allis patients regain a number of communication and cognitive skills: speech, recognition, comprehension, expression, reasoning, reading, calculating math, writing, and problem solving. She also helps patients regain the ability to swallow following a stroke.
"They work so hard, not only during their appointments, but also at home. Suddenly, they can do what they couldn't do before. It's those precious moments when a patient can say their spouse's name again – and we all start crying – that inspire me."
"I can't stress enough. No matter how severe the circumstances might seem, you must focus on positives," advised Roseann. "Focus on what you can do, not what you can't do, and build from there."
