I don't usually get full marks on exams, but I've just blitzed an online test. Sadly, it's not something to celebrate. According to the NHS depression self-assessment test, it's "very likely" I'm suffering from "some form of depression". I guess that shouldn't be surprising. For teachers, depression comes with the job, along with a second-hand laptop and a passcode for the photocopier.
The NHS questions asked me if I suffered from any of the following: low self-esteem? Tick. Tearfulness? Tick. Irritability? Tick. Feelings of guilt and despair? Tick. Disturbed sleep patterns? That's easy. Since Macbeth gets more REM sleep than your average teacher, I gave that one a double tick and a silvery stick-on star. My results are a shocking indictment of how teaching can damage your health…..
Severe depression does not discriminate. It can happen to anyone at any time. One in four people suffers from depression at some point in their life and that includes teachers who are sometimes liable to crumble under the unrelenting stress of the job…

The High Line's gardens undergo an incredible transformation during the month of March, as staff and volunteers trim back more than 100,000 plants during our annual Spring Cutback. As we shear back the dried grasses and seed heads that made our winter garden beautiful, green shoots will emerge.
The High Line will be open from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM every day until April 1, when we begin our spring schedule and remain open until 10:00 PM each evening. Before you visit, check out our March bloom list bloom list and High Line Art map, as well as our latest self-guide,.
The High Line is one mile in length, connecting three neighborhoods along the west side of Manhattan.
During snow and ice storms, portions of the High Line, or the entire High Line, may experience delayed openings, early closures, or complete closures to ensure visitor safety and to enable staff to clear the park's pathways. Learn more about our process for clearing snow and ice.
Please visit the Park Information page or follow @highlinenyc on Twitter to stay up-to-date on delayed openings and park closures during inclement weather.
It may be cold outside, but the High Line is open from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM every day in the winter, weather permitting. During storms, follow @highlinenyc on Twitter or visit the Park Information page for updates on delayed openings and park closures.

High Line Art presents new videos on High Line Channels 14 and 22, at West 14th Street and West 22nd Street.
See Victor Alimpiev's Selected Works, a suite of three poetic videos, on High Line Channel 14. Stop by Channel 22 for Nicole Miller's The Conductor, a seven-minute silent piece.
The videos will be screened each evening through March 12, 2014.
In keeping with planting designer Piet Oudolf's vision, High Line plants are not trimmed back at the onset of cold weather. Instead, the textured grasses, skeletal plant stalks, and dried seed heads define the High Line's winter landscape. When spring arrives, the plants must be trimmed back to make way for new growth. This horticultural effort, called High Line Spring Cutback, takes place throughout the month of March.
Spring Cutback is a monumental task, requiring the hard work and dedication of staff and volunteers over the course of several weeks. Together, we trim back more than 100,000 plants that grow along our mile-long park – and we would love your help.
Learn how you can become a Spring Cutback volunteer.
The High Line is open every day from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM in the winter, weather permitting. During inclement weather, visit the Park Information page or follow @highlinenyc on Twitter to stay up-to-date on delayed openings and park closures.

A new High Line Billboard, Shelf Still Life by artist Jonas Wood, is on view at West 18th Street and 10th Avenue.
Wood's work depicts a group of potted plants arranged on a shelf. The plants' lush green leaves and bright colors of the pots contrast with the neutral hues of the surrounding winter brush, acting as a reminder of the greenery that populates the elevated park in warmer months. Shelf Still Life, the thirteenth installment on High Line Billboard, will be up through February 3.
The High Line will be open for regular operating hours – from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM – during the winter holidays, weather permitting.
The winter is a wonderful time to visit the High Line. In keeping with the vision of planting designer Piet Oudolf, our plants are not cut back until the spring, creating a rich variety of textures.

Nonprofit fights cancer in poor countriesBy WILSON RING
The Associated Press | May 27,2013WATERBURY A small nonprofit group in Vermont is making its mark worlds away, teaching health care workers in developing countries how to perform a simple test and treatment that has saved the lives of women with one clinic visit.
Grounds for Health, based in Waterbury, developed the approach to reduce the incidence of cervical cancer.
The group this week will be recognized at a meeting in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, where two staffers will take part in an international call for greater access to cervical cancer screening programs for women around the world.
The tests are inexpensive. Vinegar is used to wash the womans cervix. If precancerous cells are present, they turn white immediately. They can then be removed using carbon dioxide gas.
You freeze it. And in 10 minutes, its gone, 90 percent effective, August Burns, executive director of Grounds for Health, said. This is the best buy in public health right now because we can take a major killer, for pennies, with the simplest technology. We like to call it simple but elegant. And we can stop cervical cancer.
Burns said cervical cancer is the No. 1 cause of cancer deaths for women in developing countries. In the United States and other Western countries, the cancer can be prevented.
The difference is lack of access to health care, basic preventative screening and early treatment for cervical precancer, she said. Thats the difference. We have it. They dont.
More recently, the HPV vaccine has been used to protect women from a virus associated with cervical cancer. But the vaccine is too expensive for much of the developing world.
Grounds for Health was founded 17 years ago when an international coffee executive, Dan Cox, and a retired doctor-friend noticed many women were dying in the rural communities of southern Mexico that grew the coffee beans Cox bought.
The group initially used volunteers to do the screenings then began training local doctors and nurses in countries where it operates. By the time Grounds for Health stopped operating in Mexico last year, it had screened almost 19,000 women and trained 128 doctors and nurses.
The group now works in coffee-growing areas of Nicaragua, Peru and Tanzania. Its budget is just under $1 million, with most of the money coming from coffee companies.
Burns and senior program officer Rebecca Singer plan to attend the Women Deliver conference in Malaysia this week. The meeting focuses on womens health. Burns will head a meeting called the Global Forum on Cervical Cancer Prevention.
Even though we are a relatively small (group) based in Vermont, through practice, through experience, through outcomes, we have been able to gain a seat at the table of those who will make the decisions that will impact the world around this disease, Development Director Jane Sakovitz Dale said. We have a seat at the table to really influence the international approach to this global killer of women.
Its hard to estimate how many lives have been saved because of Grounds for Health. While many women develop the precancerous conditions, not all go on to develop cervical cancer. But there are clear-cut success stories.
Burns said that once while visiting a coffee cooperative in a remote part of Tanzania, a man and his wife walked eight hours one way so the wife could be screened.
She had a major lesion, Burns said. We were able to treat it, right there on the spot ... that woman, from what I saw, would have been dead in five years, more than likely. I will always keep her in my mind. Thats who we work for.MORE IN This Just InBRATTLEBORO — Police in Brattleboro say three men have been taken into custody following a...

People are always giving me advice. Neighbors, friends, family. I suppose it's because they think that, since I'm disabled, I have not had a lot of life experience. It's true. Before my mother died she ran the house and made the majority of decisions. I led a very sheltered life. And, I liked it that way.
As well intentioned as my mother was, she didn't prepare me for life without her. I had no confidence in myself and my ability to make decisions. When my mom died.my life changed forever. I am now responsible for overseeing the running of the house, my care and Lucie's care. It is, at times, overwhelming. I am slowly finding my way and beginning to trust my judgement more. I may make mistakes, but that's okay, I learn from them. If I could go back and change one thing, it would be to have my mother give me more responsibility. I know my mom did what she did out of love, but had she given me more responsibility, I would have been better equipped to face the life I have now.
At the independent living center there was always lots of praise when you did your job well. At the time, I thought this was silly. When I was teaching no one praised me everyday for doing my job. We were all adults, at the center, so why was all this praise necessary?
Many disabled people think they don't matter. That they can't contribute anything to society because they are disabled. Praise builds self esteem and motivates a person to keep trying until they succeed. People with disabilities need to have hope. Hope that they will be able to turn their dreams into reality. If someone is in a difficult situation, they need to be able to hope that things will work out and improve for them. I know there are people who believe in being brutally honest. By being being brutally honest, you may cause a person to lose hope. Never take someones ability to hope away from them. Hope is what keeps a person going. Hope is what lets us know we're alive.
So, what is my advice to you? Offer suggestions, but let the person try to solve a problem on their own if they can. If they need help, they'll tell you. If you are the parent of a disabled child, give them some kind of responsibility, whatever they can handle. Let them know they matter. Everyone can contribute something in this life. Even if it's something as simple as offering a smile to brighten someones day.
I appreciate all the support (and advice) I have been given since my mother's death by family and friends I know people are there to help me when I need it. Maybe that's the best advice I can give you. Just "Be There." for someone with a disability. Be a friend, be a mentor, it doesn't matter. Just "Be there."

Insights into health care and entitlement reform.
The Supreme Court is set to issue its ruling on the epic Obamacare case, Florida v. HHS, at the end of June. Two of the High Court's justices, Antonin Scalia and Ruth Bader Ginsburg, dropped hints this weekend as to what the Court might do. Between what they said, and the scuttlebutt I've been hearing, we can start to think about what the Court may do—and when.
On Friday, Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg spoke at the annual Court review of the American Constitution Society, a group "dedicated to…countering the activist conservative legal movement." Ginsburg said that she was quite aware of the controversy surrounding the Obamacare case. "Some have described the controversy as unprecedented and they may be right if they mean the number of press conferences, prayer circles, protests, counter protests, going on outside the court while oral argument was under way inside."
So how will the Court rule? "At the Supreme Court, those who know don't talk," said Ginsburg. "And those who talk don't know." Well, that won't stop me.
Is Ginsburg on the losing side?
In her ACS remarks, Ginsburg suggested that she might be on the dissenting side of the case. "I have spoken on more than one occasion about the utility of dissenting opinions, noting in particular that they can reach audiences outside the court and can propel legislative or executive change," said Ginsburg, in the context of a 2007 pay discrimination case.
Most tellingly, she touched upon the key question that I believe the Court is still working through: what to do with the law if the individual mandate is indeed found to be unconstitutional.
My sources (which I freely admit to be third-hand) suggest that Kennedy will side with the conservatives and strike down the Affordable Care Act's requirement that nearly every American must buy health insurance. The key question is: how much of the rest of the law should be struck down along with it?
Ginsburg wittily put it this way: "If the individual mandate, requiring the purchase of insurance or the payment of a penalty, if that is unconstitutional, must the entire act fall? Or, may the mandate be chopped, like a head of broccoli, from the rest of the act?"
My understanding—again, from third-hand sources—is that this question of severability is the subject of intense debate among the justices, even now. It's entirely unclear whether the Court will strike down the mandate and two related provisions—what I've called the "strike three" scenario; or take down the entirety of Title I, where the law's restructuring of the private insurance market resides; or overturn the whole law. Indeed, it is probable that the Court has not yet decided how it will rule on this question.
Scalia says Wickard v. Filburn was wrongly decided
If you've been following my writing on the Obamacare legal challenges, you know that a pet peeve of mine is the 1942 Supreme Court case Wickard v. Filburn, in which the Court decided that Roscoe Filburn couldn't grow wheat on his own land to feed his own animals, because this somehow constituted interstate commerce. Wickard remains the core justification for 70 years of federal intrusion into the activities of individuals and localities.
Surprisingly, Antonin Scalia writes in a new book, Reading Law: The Interpretation of Legal Texts, that he agrees. Wickard, he writes, "expanded the Commerce Clause beyond all reason" by opining that "a farmer's cultivation of wheat for his own consumption affected interstate commerce and thus could be regulated under the Commerce Clause."
It's surprising because Scalia's concurrence in Gonzales v. Raich, the most recent major Commerce Clause case, is justly seen as an endorsement of Wickard. "Congress may regulate even noneconomic local activity if that regulation is a necessary part of a more general regulation of interstate commerce," he wrote in that 2005 case.
Scalia acknowledges this contradiction in the preface to his new book, as reviewed by Adam Liptak of the New York Times. Scalia writes that he "knows that there are some, and fears that there be many, opinions that he has joined or written over the past 30 years that contradict what is written here." While some of those contradictions can be justified by Scalia's desire to adhere to prior Court precedent, even where distasteful, in some cases it's "because wisdom has come late."
The bottom line is that if Scalia thinks Wickard was wrongly decided, he's almost certain to vote to overturn the mandate. This isn't a surprise based on his commentary at oral argument, but it may shed light into the thinking of Justices Alito and Roberts, who are thought to share Scalia's precedent-oriented approach to dealing with the Commerce Clause.
June 25 remains the most likely date for the opinon
Brad Joondeph of the ACA Litigation Blog has published a comprehensive breakdown of when the Supreme Court may issue its opinion in the case. "Setting aside the ACA cases," he notes, "the Court essentially has twelve other decisions to hand down." In addition, "in recent Terms, the Court has handed down opinions on Wednesdays or Thursdays of both of the last two weeks of the Term, in addition to the regularly scheduled Mondays. And the Court has already announced that it will issue one or more opinions next Thursday, June 21." Worth also noting, he writes, "the Court almost never issues more than four or five opinions on the same day."
Hence, if the court issues four or five opinions each on Monday, June 18 and Thursday, June 21, that would leave between two and four opinions for the last scheduled day for reading opinions: Monday, June 25.
"If the Court has handed down virtually all of the twelve [non-Obamacare] opinions…by next Thursday, then June 25 would likely be the last day of the term," Joondeph says. "But if the Court only hands down, say, five or six opinions next week, it will need at least two days the following week to hand down what remains." That means that the Court will probably reserve either June 27 or June 28 to hand down the last set of rulings.
The Apothecary's wall-to-wall SCOTUS coverage
Finally, a programming note. The Apothecary will feature wall-to-wall coverage of the Supreme Court's Obamacare decision, whenever it comes out. Check our home page that day for the latest posts. My Twitter feed will be the best place to find up-to-the-minute info. The Manhattan Institute has put together a hub for the latest work from me and several of my MI colleagues, including Paul Howard, Jim Copland, and Russ Sykes. I may also set up a live blog over at National Review to discuss the ruling, as I did for oral arguments. (You can review our discussion of the severability question here.)
Stay tuned.
Follow Avik on Twitter at @avik.
UPDATE 1: On Monday, June 18, the Court issued four opinions. Brad Joondeph believes that, as a result, "the single most likely scenario at this point is that the ACA decisions come next Wednesday or Thursday, June 27 or 28. The Court should announce by this Thursday or Friday whether it will hand down opinions on any day next week other than Monday—and if so, which day (or days)."
Elsewhere, Jonathan Cohn presents his take on the Court's various partial-repeal scenarios.
UPDATE 2: On Thursday, June 21, the Court also issued four opinions, leaving four left plus Obamacare. According to SCOTUSBlog, "the fact that the Court did not announce that Monday will be the last day means there will definitely be opinions after Monday."
It must be difficult to adhere to prior Commerce Clause precedent in the overwhelming evidence it is erroneous and wrong. See:
Oh my heavenly stars! Erroneous AND wrong. Wow. That's really really bad.
Not as bad a your employer shifting your plan without knowing so that you are left with a 37,000 out of pocket for your 2 year old's staph infection….but really bad nonetheless.
Tell you what mannix. My family and I have been waiting for 2014 for 2 years now with crossed fingers. Now 2014 isn't coming. So you know what I'm going to do? I'm going to sign up for every ?@!?#1ing social program I can find, every last ?@!#ing dollar I can find to squeeze out of the Forbes-reading class that ?@!#ed me over after using me for 12 years. I'm going to vote from now until the day I day for every single ?@#!ing millionaire in this country to pay as much as possible with no regard to anything else.
Have a lovely day you ?!#!ing abstraction.
Former GHWBush republican.
Having actually lived and worked in countries that have socialized medicine, I have seen first hand with my own eyes that it is a bad deal for the United States.
And I am not talking about taxes, as I was paid as an expat and was not subject to the local taxes. I am talking about it permeates and contaminates every single aspect of life.
Socialized medicine is absolutely un-American. Therefore, it is presumed that you are in the wrong country. I suggest that you renounce your citizenship and leave and go to some country that you would find more to your liking.
athenian stranger, thank you for illustrating the left's position so articulately. "gimme my free stuff or I'm gonna throw a tantrum and screw the country out of every dime I can get"
Taxed to death: Your moniker suggests that you are not wealthy- otherwise you'd be getting an increasingly large chunk of the pie, and would have no need for the smug bitterness. Therefor you must be a simple pawn of the elite.
How sad for you that you think a guy who got screwed out of insurance for his 2 year old daughter just wants "free stuff"… and yet you are clearly not troubled by those who pull in hundreds of millions and probably pay a smaller percentage in taxes than you do.
How very sad.
typical liberal thinking that no one is able to think for themselves and may not disagree with liberal dogma without inviting scorn or pity.
last time I look at the IRS website, the share of taxes paid by the wealthy is larger than at any time in history and has been growing exponentially. the problem you have is that you seem to feel you're entitled to what other people earn.
just because life isn't always fair doesn't mean you have the right to offload your problems onto someone else.
tTD- Can you please provide more specific sourcing info. for your stunning statement of "fact" re: the share of taxes paid by the wealthy? All the data I'm seeing suggests exactly the opposite of what you say. This article in the Wall Street Journal (link below), for instance, points out that total taxes paid by the top 1% is only growing because their SHARE OF WEALTH is growing MUCH MORE RAPIDLY. (I would use the term "exponentially", but that would be absurd, so let's just stick to real facts.)
It's useful to look at raw data rather than someone else's partisan manipulation of it. You can easily find this data on the IRS' website too if you don't believe it.
It's all beside the point though, the point is that you believe others should pay for the choices you make and I believe people should be responsible for their own actions. When you consistently make choices that put you in financial hardship and then demand that I should be forced to work harder for less money to pay your bills then you are offloading your responsibility for the choices you make onto me.
Seriously? You think taxfoundation.org is non-partisan, and that their data is absolutely raw. Does that organization take any positions on tax policy? If you answer honestly then you've blown your "useful" argument.
Don't really have time to evaluate thoroughly the conflicting data. One thing's for sure though. Even if your data is right you really need to look up the definition for "exponential".
OK, to the point. You have no business over-simplifying what I "believe" into your ridiculous right-wing talking point. I have a complex belief system, and you only insult yourself when you try to define it with crayons.
Hilarious, data compiled directly from the IRS and rather than take a look at it you simply dismiss it as partisan lies and then graciously offer that even if true my choice of adverbs may be imperfect while that scenario would prove your assertions a complete falsehood

In 1929, on his way to his vacation home, President Herbert Hoover strolled through a Madison County barn.
Ten thousand people, more than the population of the county at the time, came out to greet him, but now this piece of history is in danger.
"Some want to keep the barn, and some want to take it down and use the property for other things," said Peter Williams.
Williams is spearheading an organization to save the barn. Recently, the barn was bought by the county. Now it is sandwiched between soccer fields, and some think the barn is in the way of building yet another soccer field, but Williams has a different vision for the barn's future .
He sees it as possibly a concession stand area for the soccer players and a place for assembly.
"You could have meetings there, picnics there, art things there," said Williams. Through donations, Williams' organization called Friends of Hoover Ridge Barn would renovate the barn and then give it to the county as a gift.
What Williams does for a living explains his passion to save the building.
"We build a lot of barns, horse barns. I like barns and I don't like to see them torn down," said Williams, who owns P.J. Williams, a barn building company.
Now the landmark's fate is up to the county board of supervisors, but so far, "the ball is rolling," said Williams.

As Chicago gears up for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization summit at McCormick Place, Metra has stepped up security throughout its rail system, including the Southwest and Rock Island lines.
From May 19 through May 21, riders will face security screenings and restrictions on what they can carry on to trains while global leaders are in town for the NATO summit, Metra announced Monday.
Sign up to receive Patch breaking news alerts.
You may also want to ditch the latte. Riders will be prohibited from carrying food or beverages on the train, including coffee. However, breast milk can be carried on a train but is subject to inspection and should be declared if you're being screened.
Riders may also see increased police presence and perhaps even a bomb- sniffing dog or two.
The following safety measures apply to all Metra lines this coming weekend, including:
- Riders may be subject to search and/or screening before boarding the train or while in en route.
- Riders may carry only one bag not exceeding 15 square inches and 4 inches deep.
- Riders may not carry any food on the train. Liquids and personal effects (such as makeup) must be less than three ounces in size. This includes coffee and other beverages. Breast milk can be carried but is subject to inspection and should be declared during any screening.
- Riders may not cay any type of tools, pipes, stakes, wood or weapons, including pocketknives and pepper spray, on the trains.
- Law enforcement officers must identify themselves and present their credentials and any weapons. Private security guards will not be allowed to carry any weapons onboard.
Failure to comply with these safety measures or instructions from police officers or attempting to avoid security screenings may result in ejection from the train or arrest.
For more information on NATO and local security measures, read:
Tinley Park Patch will be posting information about road closures and train delays throughout the week on our Facebook page and we invite our readers to do the same.

Tavares, Vanek carry Islanders to win over BruinsThe Associated Press | November 03,2013AP Photo
New Yorks Thomas Vanek (26) celebrates after teammate Andrew MacDonald scored against Boston Bruins goalie Chad Johnson (30) as Matt Bartkowski (43) reacts in the second period of Saturdays game in Uniondale, N.Y.UNIONDALE, N.Y. In Thomas Vaneks first week with the New York Islanders, the high-scoring forward has often said how thrilled he is to be playing alongside new captain John Tavares.
Now he is starting to show how happy he really is.
Tavares, defenseman Andrew MacDonald and Vanek scored second-period goals, and Kevin Poulin made 26 saves for his first win of the season as the Islanders beat the Boston Bruins 3-1 on Saturday night.
Vanek, the left wing acquired from Buffalo for fan favorite Matt Moulson, scored his first goal with the Islanders and recorded his 500th NHL point.
The scoring play came on a perfect cross-ice pass from right wing Kyle Okposo. Vanek finished it with a one-timer from the left circle past goalie Chad Johnson.
That felt really good, a relief for me, Vanek said. Each day were feeling better and better and working together. Tonight you saw what can be possible with our line.
Tavares knocked a loose puck past Johnson at 6:15 of the second for his sixth goal of the season. The assist went to Vanek.
After MacDonald scored his first of the season at 13:13 to make it 2-0, and Bostons Dougie Hamilton answered two minutes later, Vanek notched his 255th NHL goal.
Hes a great skilled player, Tavares said. When you get those opportunities, you have to take advantage of them, and he did. When we play our game and compete, we are successful.
Okposo and defenseman Travis Hamonic assisted on the goals by MacDonald and Vanek.
The Islanders (6-5-3) won for the second straight night. On Friday, they bombarded the Ottawa Senators with 57 shots and won 5-4 in a shootout, twice rallying from two-goal deficits.
Our last six periods have been very good, Islanders coach Jack Capuano said. Kevin was particularly solid for us tonight. This was a strong character win.
Tavares, who has played 221 consecutive games, seemed more at ease with the new line combination of Vanek and Okposo. Moulson had been Tavares left wing and close friend since the captains rookie season in 2009-10, scoring 118 goals for the Islanders.
Boston (8-5) lost for the third time in four games.
Poulins best save came 6:58 in when he denied David Krejci from the top of the crease after two perfect passes from Jarome Iginla and Patrice Bergeron.
He also stopped Milan Lucics backhand from in front with 1:29 left in the third as the Bruins had Johnson pulled for an extra skater. He made another glove save on Hamilton with 23 seconds remaining, sparking chants of Pou-lin, Pou-lin from the home crowd.
I felt strong out there, working hard at doing the little things right, Poulin said.
The 23-year-old Poulins two other starts in place of No. 1 goalie Evgeni Nabokov were losses 3-2 at Chicago and 5-2 at home to Philadelphia.
Johnson played his second game of the season to give Tuukka Rask a rest. Johnson won his only other start, 5-2 at Buffalo on Oct. 23.
The Bruins, coming off a 3-2 shootout win over Anaheim on Thursday, will start a five-game homestand against Dallas on Tuesday. They had won their previous three visits and eight of 10 at Nassau Coliseum.
We werent focused or sharp enough, Bruins coach Claude Julien said. Well be working hard to get the team back on track.
The Islanders will embark on a four-game trip starting Tuesday at Washington before they head to Carolina, Columbus and Montreal.

The News Courier
— Letters policy
The News Courier encourages letters to the editor. Submissions should be no more than 400 words and should include a name, address and telephone number for verification. Submissions that do not meet requirements are subject to editing. Send letters by noon on Thursdays to P.O. Box 670, Athens, AL, 35613, or email to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Abortion argument stunk
Dear Editor:
The Courier's Sunday, March 3, reprinting of the Montgomery Advertiser's abortion legislation article and the arguments (I use the term loosely) contained within are so thinly veiled that I had to laugh at its ridiculousness.
The crux of the author's "argument" against abortion legislation is that a provision of the bill would require abortion providers to perform an ultrasound so that the woman can make an informed decision before proceeding with the abortion. According to the opinions — presented-as-facts in this lopsided article, the ultrasound is "invasive." Really?!? So, exactly, how invasive does the author think an abortion will be?
Having worked for an OB-GYN as well as having two children of my own, I can say that even the transvaginal transducer ultrasound is less invasive than the reproductive process by which children are conceived. Intrusive … give me a break.
The truth is that a large percentage of women who see their unborn child on ultrasound or see/hear the heartbeat choose to carry the child to term. Oh, heaven's above, if a mother should decide to carry her child and then keep/adopt it after the fact. I don't know why hard-lined abortion advocates (not people who think the service should be available, but those who take it as a personal affront when someone chooses not to have an abortion) try to pretend they are on a moral high ground defending the rights of the downtrodden women of America. A true reproductive rights activist should be just as pleased that a woman had the opportunity to make an informed decision no matter what her decision turned out to be.
The article's author went onto try to paint a picture of women up in arms, I'm assuming with N.O.W. signs, against the Republican Party if this bill passes, even scaring their husband's into submission by swaying them in their exercise to vote.
Gimme a break. This article stunk from an agenda from the first syllable to the last period. Period.

Economy demands accountability
Dear Editor:
Having had profit and loss responsibility for several corporations, I have had experience in developing and approving multi-million dollar budgets. Our city officials have similar responsibilities, but with less control over the generation of revenues to offset the expenses of serving a city like Athens.
Athens has many organizations that are supported by special interest groups that want and or get city funds allocated to them. A real world example is the Chamber of Commerce and Tourism group. You cannot justify funding based upon "market research" reporting without solid data regarding why the funds are necessary and a clear plan for the use of the funds.
For example, the Chamber of Commerce and Tourism personnel have not done extensive polling and questioning of out-of-town and out-of-state visitors regarding where they are from, where they are going, the purpose of their trip, and what would attract them to Athens. This would seem very basic to any plan and how to be able to meet the needs/desires of visitors. Yet, amazingly, it has never been done in depth!
Why don't all retail businesses, in Athens, remain open, on Monday and Thursday evenings, as other cities have done, in the past, to increase sales and tax revenues? This will become critical with the incursion of new retail businesses in west Madison and along county line road. Again, where is the Chamber's leadership?
There should be in depth justification before any funds are allocated other than just the desire for money to implement the special interest desires and salaries of "directors" of something that is redundant or unnecessary.
Many organizations response for detailed funding allocation reports have either not delineated expenditures or that it was based upon salaries, but no comment showing how funds had directly benefited citizens. Our City Council has several members that really want to make the most efficient use of taxpayer funds, but not just dole out funds for the sake of giving out taxpayer dollars.
The "market research" project by Athens State students will not be the final, decision making answer. It will be one piece of the final overall financial plan. Our economy demands accountability!
Quentin D. Anderson Sr.
Disagree with letter
Dear Editor:
My letter is in response to the Athens News Courier "Letter to the Editor" written by former vice chairman of the Limestone County Republican Party, Randy Smeenk.
Randy Smeenk stated that it is civic duty to inform the voting public of some moral and ethical issues surrounding two Limestone County Republican candidates. I am publicly stating that Randy Smeenk's statement couldn't be further from the truth and I totally disagree with him.
The two members who Randy named are our present chairman and present vice chair of the local Republican Party. The reason Mr. Smeenk feels they are unethical is they voted to lower candidate qualification fees. If lowering the fees was morally or ethically wrong, the entire Limestone executive committee is equally guilty. The Limestone Republican Executive Committee voted unanimously to lower candidate qualification fees to open the door to more candidates.
Furthermore, in respect to our two members who Randy Smeenk is choosing to slam and lie about. Our new chairman, Ronnie Coffman has been a loyal member of the Republican Party before it was "cool". Our new vice chairman, Rex Davis, (who I might add, replaced Randy Smeenk), has worked tirelessly for the Limestone Republican Party and if anyone deserves to hold office as a local Republican, it's these two men.
Randy Smeenk also has a problem with the fact that each candidate holds a recently elected position in the Limestone County Republican Executive Committee while running for public office and said it is ethically and morally wrong.
In my opinion Randy Smeenk is a sore loser and will do anything he can to harm the sitting committee members of the local Republican Party.
During the time Randy Smeenk held the position of vice chair he did everything he could to run the tea party members out of the Republican executive committee. I am one of those tea party patriots who he turned his wrath upon. If you do not totally agree with Randy Smeenk you are on his hit list.
Last but not least, Randy Smeenk's statement, "We need candidates with strong moral and ethical character representing us at all levels. Let us start this process now, by electing highly qualified individuals for public office." This is one statement I can agree with Randy Smeenk on. All the Republican candidates that I am aware of, including Ronnie Coffman and Rex Davis, are respectful and upstanding citizens of Limestone County.
Deborah King
Letter was incorrect
Dear Editor:
As a sitting member of the Limestone County Republican Executive Committee (LCREC), I feel obligated to address the charges made by our former vice chairman Randy Smeenk in his letter to the News Courier dated March 11, 2012.
Mr. Smeenk alleged that our current chairman, Ronnie Coffman, and vice chairman, Rex Davis, had used their LCREC positions for personal and financial gain. The basis for this charge was that the LCREC had taken the action to reduce the qualifying fee for candidates for the 2012 elections, in which both Mr. Coffman and Mr. Davis are participating. He likewise made the charge that it was "morally and ethically wrong" for those holding leadership positions in the LCREC to run for public office, and that the reduction in qualifying fees would "unfairly and significantly reduce financial assistance available to all Republican candidates in Limestone County as they move into the fall general election".
Mr. Smeenk's information is incorrect and needs clarification.
No. 1. The change in qualifying fees was approved by the entire membership of the LCREC unanimously. We believed as a committee that the reduction in fees would encourage potential candidates to run who might have decided otherwise due to the qualifying fees being cost-prohibitive.
No. 2. Mr. Coffman and Mr. Davis are not the first LCREC officers to ever run for office. Even if they were, I personally don't see a problem with this practice. The officers of the LCREC are the ones on the front lines communicating the values and ideals of the Republican Party, and are exactly the type of people we want as candidates.
No. 3. The change in qualifying fees is not reducing the financial assistance available to Republican candidates for the elections this fall in any way. Three of the five races have no Democratic opposition and no fall campaign to fund. A fourth race has the qualifying fees set by the state rather than the local party. The fifth race had no Primary since there was only one declared candidate.
In conclusion, while Mr. Smeenk may have problems with the way the LCREC handled the qualifying fees for this election, in no way does it approach the level of being "morally and ethically wrong." His portrayal of the situation unnecessarily damages the reputations of not only the two individuals in question but the Republican Party of Limestone County as a whole.

The second annual Youth Ocean Conservation Summit, a daylong educational outreach organized by the Stow It-Don't Throw It Marine Debris Prevention Project and Mote Marine Laboratory, took place at Mote on Saturday November 3rd. The over one hundred fifty participants in attendance were inspired by the work and message of this year's keynote speaker, Jim Abernethy, who captivated them while sharing his life's work in ocean conservation. Youth who were in attendance at last year's summit also inspired participants by sharing their work on ocean conservation projects that emerged from last year's summit. Their projects included beach clean ups, mangrove planting projects, educational community events, school recycling projects and art projects.
Several high school students from Canterbury's Marine Biology class attended various sessions of the conference while Carole Rosario, art teacher and I led a session called "Communicating Ocean Conservation through Art". Inspired by the Washed Ashore Project and Oceans101, Carole and I have begun this project, to conserve, recycle and educate students about marine debris. The project incorporates local beach clean-ups to remove marine debris, "geotagging" the marine debris using Google Earth, and making art out of found objects. This project seeks to guide students through the three-fold objective: making great art, learning about how to care for our planet, and utilizing science and technology to share it!

Way back in 1980, Paul McCartney was exploring his interest in electronic music on the solo album McCartney II. Being Paul McCartney, he managed to land a song from the oddball sessions ("Coming Up") atop the pop charts; however, much of the album, as epitomized by the popcorn-synth sound of "Temporary Secretary," was 8-bit music before the world had a chance to create any nostalgic distance from those early days of computing and video games.
Video Gallery: Paul McCartney: Best of the Solo Years
McCartney has always been fascinated with electronic music. His interest in the musique concrete of Karlheinz Stockhausen led to the composer's inclusion as one of the cutouts on the Sgt. Pepper album cover, and he has been making occasional records as the Fireman with Killing Joke co-founder Youth for 20 years. So it comes as little surprise that he'd jump at the chance to record with the Bloody Beetroots, the stage name of the one-man Italian "dance-punk" innovator who calls himself Sir Bob Cornelius Rifo.
"Out of Sight" (which also features Youth) finds the old Beatle appealing to the stadium EDM crowd in a heavily thumping, airily melodic track on which he wails in his finest Little Richard mode. Rifo – the masked performer identifiable by the year of his birth, 1977, tattooed across his chest – was presumably still in diapers when McCartney was recording McCartney II.

August 2, 2014
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- A person familiar with the situation says former NFL coach Jon Gruden has informed Tennessee he doesn't want to be considered for its coaching job.
The person says Tennessee initially reached out to Gruden late last week but there was never a contract offer or a discussion of financial terms. The person spoke to The Associated Press Friday on condition of anonymity because the school hasn't publically discussed details of its search.
The person says after discussing the matter with his family, Gruden indicated he didn't want to make the move at this time
Tennessee is seeking a replacement for Derek Dooley, who was fired Nov. 18 after going 15-21 in three seasons.
Gruden, an ESPN analyst, worked as a graduate assistant at Tennessee from 1986-87.

With several New York Fashion Week presentations under their belts and a thriving store in the city, showing a new collection in the Big Apple could feel like old hat to Victor and Sarah Lytvinenko of Raleigh (formerly Raleigh Denim). But even with that experience, the two still got the usual jitters before their spring 2014 presentation last week.
"It's much easier to do the third time around, but we're still anxious about the color scheme, layout, lighting and so on," says Victor. "Many of the logistics become easier each season, but some aspects of putting on a show are different every time and are hard to prepare for. It's like planning a small wedding a couple of times each year."
The wedding comparison is especially apt with romantic florals showing up throughout the collection.
"This spring we picked cherry blossoms and submerged them in vinegar for a couple days, essentially pickling them," he explains. "The petals transform and become translucent, leaving them more fragile and delicate than they are fresh off the tree. We photographed the pickled blossoms and created prints from the photographs, which we used on silk organza burlap, silk twill, and cotton jersey T-shirts."
On the menswear side, the duo introduced chinos to their collection.
"We focused a great deal on material, using unconventional fabrics with lots of character, so, like the denim, they change over time and become better with wear," says Victor.
With the presentation behind them, the pair will move on to market to meet with buyers and then start design work on their fall 2014 collection. But before that madness begins, Victor says they do take a moment to enjoy another successful Fashion Week.
"Afterwards we celebrate and relax together, remember the highlights, and then look ahead to next season."

Friends of North Park and the North Area Environmental Council are seeking volunteers and making plans for two spring cleanup events—one in April, another in May—in North Park.
The first event is set for Saturday, April 20, during Earth Day weekend. Organizers say they plan to gather at 9 a.m. to remove litter from various locations around North Park. Participants should meet at the cabin on Ingomar Road, near the intersection of Babcock Boulevard and Wildwood Road.
A Lake & Land Clean-up also is planned for Saturday, May. 4 and will involve working both on the lake in water craft and along the lake's shoreline on foot. Participants should meet at noon at the North Park Rose Barn on Pearce Mill Road, across from the North Park Boathouse.
Gloves, safety vests and trash bags will be supplied. Participants should wear sturdy footwear, long pants and longsleeve shirts and are encouraged to bring protective gear for eyes.
Refreshments will be served at the end of each event.
For more information, contact Gary Rigdon, chairman of Friends of North Park, at 724-544-7284 or firstname.lastname@example.com; or Robert Habegger of the marketing and communications committee of Friends of North Park, at 412-401-5837or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Mosquito Spraying Continues in Texas
Much of Texas, including many parts of Austin, has been under attack this summer by mosquitoes. These attacks have many Austin residents frightened because of the possibility of a West Nile Virus infection. CNN reports, this year's West Nile Virus outbreak is the largest the United States has ever seen since the disease was first discovered in 1999. So far this year there have been 42 deaths and over 1,100 reported cases Nationwide. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention states that almost 80 percent of the nation's reported West Nile cases are from Texas resulting in 30 deaths.
Aerial spraying for mosquitoes is a common and effective way to combat West Nile Virus. Dropping pesticides from the sky raises many concerns and questions.
DUET Reactions
The pesticide that is being dropped over much of Texas is called DUET. The most common reaction upon DUET exposure is a prickling or burning sensation on your skin. Other reactions can consist of a tearing in your eyes or blurred vision, and respiratory irritation if you inhale it.
Who's Most at Risk?
It's hard to predict what kind of reactions, if any, people will have to the pesticides, but people that already have allergies, lung disease, lung cancer, asthma, and other respiratory infections are more at risk. Pregnant women also need to take added precautions. Although it's not time to panic, health professionals are urging the public to take certain precautions throughout this process.
- Stay inside until pesticide settles—usually a couple of hours
- Bring pets inside
- If you're very sensitive to chemicals, leave town
- Don't wear the shoes you wear outside, inside your home for a few days afterward
- Wash vehicles, toys, patio furniture, pet bowls, fruits, and vegetables afterward
Pest Control
If you are concerned about the DUET pesticide, the West Nile Virus, or mosquitoes on your property, contact a pest control professional today which offer safe, non-toxic solutions for all of your concerns.

NASHVILLE — The Dodgers left baseball's winter meetings Thursday without their top free-agent target.
The upside: No other team signed pitcher Zack Greinke, either. And the field of suitors seems to have thinned.
The Texas Rangers are the only other identified remaining bidder for the Cy Young Award-winning right-hander.
The Angels and Washington Nationals were also interested in Greinke, but they turned to considerably less costly alternatives.

By MARY RAINWATER
Palestine Herald-Press
Palestine YMCA received a donation Friday from Hampton Inn & Suites for its annual fund-raising campaign, "We can make a difference," in honor of recently named NFL MVP Adrian Peterson.
The donation of $2,097, matched dollar-to-yard Peterson's yards in the 2012-13 season with the Minnesota Vikings.
Hotel owner Alex Patel and Devin Lackey, head of sales and marketing, presented the check to YMCA CEO David Hendricks last week.
"Devin and I were talking one day and said that we should donate a dollar for every yard Peterson runs," Patel said. "I landed at the airport on Feb. 1 or 2, when they announced he was the winner. I called Devin and we decided to go ahead and do it."
Patel said he felt the donation was a way to both honor Peterson and help the YMCA.
"I think this is the best thing to do," he said. "As much as Adrian does to give back, we want to honor him by giving back as well — to do something that supports youth, athletics and the community.
"We hope to continue this every year."
Hendricks was pleased about the donation and hoped that it would encourage other businesses to help the YMCA.
"This is great," Hendricks said. "It is the perfect example of how businesses can give back to the community by supporting organizations like the YMCA."
Last year, Hendricks said, the Palestine YMCA gave over $20,000 in assistance to local families for scholarships for memberships, childcare and youth sports.
To learn more about how to support the "Together, We Make a Difference" Support Campaign, call Hendricks at 903-729-3139 or visit www.palestineymca.org for more information. Donations can be made online at www.ymca.net.

Tonawanda News — When it comes down to the gun control, which I think is ridiculous, don't people remember Tim McVeigh? He didn't use a gun to kill all the people. He used fertilizers and diesel fuel to make his bomb. Guns don't just kill. You can make explosives with things from around your home. But the government never mentions that and neither does the news.
Again I'm reading in the paper about alien arrests. Reading about people who are here illegally. Let's put that in bold, illegal. Anyone here who does something illegal is arrested, sometimes unjustly. But we are arrested. And you have all these people here and you wanna give them freedom and a free education and a path to be a citizen. Send them back to their country. Arrest them, get rid of them.
What an embarrassment for the Town of Tonawanda to arrest somebody for taking a tire and a rim. The odds are the garbage men wouldn't take it anyways and it would sit there and he'd get tagged. I have a couple rental properties and it costs me two bucks to take it to one of the tire dealers to get rid of it. It is just absolutely ridiculous for someone to get arrested for that. If he wants to come pick my garbage, he is more than welcome.
If you want to eleviate your pain go to a physical therapist. A licensed, trained physical therapist, not a body massager. You're going to a body massager for pleasure.
Well we have a big storm coming, bet it's Obama's fault.
