— he student organizers of this Veterans Day tour of Mankato-area monuments were looking for families just like the Kearneys, of Mankato.
Ginnette Kearney and her teenage son, Rochfort, planned to visit each of the 14 memorials on the tour. She said her son has friends and relatives in the military, and this tour would be a good way to get a conversation going about the service.
Volunteers along the route quizzed him with questions about the five branches of the military (many people miss the Coast Guard) and how Stoltzman Road got its name (after George Stoltzman, Mankato's first casualty in the Vietnam War).
Most of the 25 or so participants were older, like Gene Wedoe, of Apple Valley, and Judy Bishman, of Chaska. He's a Vietnam veteran who figured this would be a good way to spend Veterans Day.
The students of Kristi Montandon's Minnesota State University class raised about $2,000 for the Minnesota Assistance Council for Veterans, which helps area homeless veterans. Participants paid $8 or $10 each, though most of the money came from business donations.
It was a frigid day for such a tour, especially after Saturday's record high of 73. Sunday's high temperature of 54 was recorded at midnight, and that figure dipped to around 30 degrees by early afternoon, said Jack Gerfen, a meteorologist for KEYC-TV.
But Vietnam veteran Tom McLaughlin, who helped create the map of monuments this effort relied on, said he was a little disappointed that poor weather could keep people home on Veterans Day.
There are soldiers in Afghanistan and elsewhere, he said, "who don't have the opportunity to stay home because the weather isn't very nice."
Those who stuck it out for Sunday's events tended to be former soldiers who'd endured rough conditions before, he said.
That was the case at the Vietnam memorial, where four members of MSU's veterans club waited in the cold for about three hours during the event. Nick Raway was in a T-shirt Saturday, but switched to his ice-fishing outfit Sunday. Raway is a Marine who is not currently serving, but won't call himself a "former Marine" — he and others eschew the term because many of its veterans feel a lifelong commitment to the Marines.
The men agreed that the Minnesota Assistance Council for Veterans is a great cause, especially considering it has helped several members of the club.
The club is holding a fundraiser for the veterans council on Tuesday outside of MSU's Centennial Student Union from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. They're selling "walking tacos" — a sort of taco in a bag you can eat with a fork while walking — for $4 and nachos for $2.
While the class won't be around to put on the event next year, Montandon, the MSU professor, said the MSU veterans club could help organize it — a prospect at which the club's members seemed eager.
Montandon said her students would get high marks at lining up food and cash sponsorships from businesses, but said there could have been more marketing to families with children. It means more to teach young people about military service than it does to hold an event attended largely by veterans, she said.
Students in her two other groups organized a Saturday dodgeball tournament, which raised about $400 for Relay for Life, and a girls empowerment class, held Friday.

"We want to share the great things we're doing in the community, and let others know how they can help," said Allison. The Lions club each year selects projects that demonstrate their motto, "We Serve." The club has given out scholarships to graduating seniors, donated to the Weatherford ISD Foundation, Pythian Home, United Way and Parker County Senior Center, just to name a few. This year the club will assist in the annual Habitat for Humanity project of building a new home in Weatherford.

RALEIGH — Car owners soon will start receiving new bills that combine state license tag renewal fees with county automobile property taxes all payable to the state Division of Motor Vehicles.
DMV is taking over the collection of local car taxes under orders from the General Assembly. Drivers will make a single tag-and-tax payment to DMV each year, and DMV will forward the tax portion to the county tax collector.
The change will be phased in over the coming year, month by month starting with drivers whose cars have a 7 registration renewal sticker, for the month of July.
DMV will mail these July tag-and-tax bills by mid-May, marked with an Aug. 15 payment deadline.
Why make the change?
Some county tax collectors have a hard time getting motorists to pay their car taxes. They say it can be expensive to send repeat bills and take other steps to collect delinquent taxes and some car taxes still go unpaid. Collection rates are expected to improve when car owners are forced to pay the tax before they can renew their license tags.
The change also means that car owners will pay their government bill just one time each year instead of making two payments a few months apart, to state and county governments.
Its better customer service, and I think we feel like its a better way of doing business, said David B. Baker, local government director for the N.C. Department of Revenue.
How are these taxes paid now?
The county tax year for each car starts after the DMV renewal month. The owner of a car with DMVs July sticker pays county taxes to cover a 12-month period starting in August. County tax bills are sent out a few weeks later, payable before the fourth month of the tax year.
So heres how it worked last year for that car with a 7 July sticker:
The owner received a DMV registration bill in mid-May, with payment due by Aug. 15 (DMV adds a 15-day grace period). Later, the driver received a tax bill from the county, to be paid by Nov. 1. The intervals are the same, though the due dates differ, for cars with different registration renewal months.
How will the new schedule work?
The DMV dates will not change. The owner of a car with a 7 July sticker will have a payment due by Aug. 15. This time the payment will be larger, because it includes the county tax along with the DMV fee. Statewide, the average car tax is about $100.
You will no longer receive a separate car tax bill from the county. But youll continue to pay real estate taxes to the county.
What does the tag-and-tax bill look like?
It includes separate details of your county car tax and your registration fee, combining them in the total amount due. Local contact information is included for questions about your county tax bill.
You can pay DMV by mail, online or at local tag offices. Dont forget to have your car inspected before you make the payment.
Are they making you pay taxes earlier this year than last year?
Yes. The change will move everybodys tax payment deadline 21/2 months earlier on the calendar. So for a car whose tax was paid to the county last Nov. 1, the combined tag-and-tax payment will fall due at DMV this Aug. 15.
County officials say your car tax year is unchanged. Instead of collecting payment before the start of the fourth month, theyre having DMV collect the payment by the 15th day of the first month of your cars tax year.
Theres no overlap in the period of time theyre paying for; its just that the due date has been adjusted, said Marcus Kinrade, Wake County revenue director.
In subsequent years, the tag-and-tax payment will be due every 12 months.

Human remains found by surveyors
By Nathan Baker
A crew surveying land for an expansion project along Gap Creek Road Wednesday discovered human skeletal remains in a wooded area a short distance from the roadway, between Dry Creek and Loveless roads.
Carter County Sheriff Chris Mathes said the death is currently being investigated as a homicide, a common practice for unattended deaths and found bodies.
Mathes said a wallet with an identification card was found with the body, but declined to release the name until the remains are positively identified.
At 4 p.m. Wednesday, investigators from the Carter County Sheriff's Department, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation and the Tennessee Highway Patrol searched for evidence in the area surrounding the body.
THP officers worked to map the ground about 40 feet from the road where a handful of yellow evidence markers were scattered among trees and rhododendron.

| ! Hunting & Fishing Licenses | Boat Registration Renewal
Dale County's Newton Elementary
The children at Newton Elementary School were introduced to the wonders of fishing thanks in part to a grant by the Future Fisherman Foundation. The grant enabled Newton Elementary Physical Education teacher Wendy Weathers to receive a five-day course on teaching children basic boating and fishing skills, and purchase equipment that could be used to teach these skill through the PE program for many years to come.
This Fall children at Newton have learned all about freshwater fishing, casting, tackle selection, water safety, and boating skills. The 2008 program culminated with a "Phish Ed" field day at Dale County Lake on October 21, 2008. Approximately 120 kids in the 4th, 5th, and 6th grade arrived at the lake about 9 am, and were divided into 5 groups. The groups made 45 minute rotations among 5 stations. Stations had been set up to allow children to learn about and experience bait selection and fishing, cleaning and dissecting fish, cooking and eating fish, aquatic ecosystem interactions and fisheries management, and boating and water safety.
The event lasted until 2 pm, and utilized employees of the Alabama Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries Section, Alabama Marine Police, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and over 50 teachers and volunteers. Grant money was used to purchase catfish from Sutton's Fish Hatchery in Ariton to stock into a fish-out area that was netted off for this event. Judging from the 3 to 4 coolers of catfish caught by the kids, if appears that Mr. Sutton either stocked very hungry fish or many more were stocked than were ordered. Many of the kids hooked into catfish in the 3 to 5 pound range. All of the kids were able to leave with memories of a glorious day in the great outdoors that will hopefully lead to a lifetime of appreciation for our environment.
Any elementary school PE teachers interested in participating in the "Phish Ed' program are encouraged to check out the Future Fisherman Foundation website at www.futurefisherman.org, then click on the "Phish Ed Grant" link. Questions about the program can also be sent to AL Aquatic Education Coordinator Doug Darr (email@example.com) or Wendy Weathers at email@example.com.

Primary sclerosing (skluh-ROHS-ing) cholangitis (koh-lan-JIE-tis) is a disease of the bile ducts in your liver. The term "cholangitis" in primary sclerosing cholangitis refers to inflammation of the bile ducts, while the term "sclerosing" describes the hardening and scarring of the bile ducts that result from chronic inflammation.
Primary sclerosing cholangitis is a progressive disease that leads to liver damage and, eventually, liver failure. Liver transplant is the only known cure for primary sclerosing cholangitis, but transplant is typically reserved for people with severe liver damage.
Researchers continue looking for treatments to slow or reverse bile duct damage caused by primary sclerosing cholangitis. But until a treatment is found, doctors care for people with primary sclerosing cholangitis by reducing signs and symptoms of complications.
Signs and symptoms of primary sclerosing cholangitis include:
Primary sclerosing cholangitis may not cause any symptoms in its early stages. In some cases, the only indication of this disorder may be abnormal blood tests suggesting that your liver isn't functioning well.
Make an appointment with your doctor if you have any persistent signs and symptoms of primary sclerosing cholangitis.
It's not clear what causes primary sclerosing cholangitis. It's believed that the condition may be caused by an immune system reaction to an infection or toxin in people with a predisposition to develop the disease.
Primary sclerosing cholangitis occurs more frequently in people with certain other medical conditions, particularly inflammatory bowel disease. It's not clear how these conditions are linked and whether they share similar causes.
Factors that may increase the risk of primary sclerosing cholangitis include:
Complications of primary sclerosing cholangitis may include:
Start by seeing your family doctor or a general practitioner if you have signs or symptoms that worry you. If your doctor suspects you may have primary sclerosing cholangitis, you may be referred to a liver specialist (gastroenterologist or hepatologist).
Because appointments can be brief, and because there's often a lot of ground to cover, it's a good idea to be well prepared. Here's some information to help you get ready, and what to expect from your doctor.
Your time with your doctor is limited, so preparing a list of questions will help you make the most of your time together. List your questions from most important to least important in case time runs out. For primary sclerosing cholangitis, some basic questions to ask your doctor include:
In addition to the questions that you've prepared to ask your doctor, don't hesitate to ask questions that come up during your appointment.
Your doctor is likely to ask you a number of questions. Being ready to answer them may allow more time later to cover points you want to address. Your doctor may ask:
Tests and procedures used to diagnose primary sclerosing cholangitis include:
Treatments for primary sclerosing cholangitis focus on reducing signs and symptoms of the disease as it progresses. Primary sclerosing cholangitis progresses slowly, but it usually ends in liver failure and the need for a liver transplant. Many medications have been studied in people with primary sclerosing cholangitis, but so far none has been proved to slow or reverse the liver damage associated with this disease.
Medications that may help control itching include:
Bacterial infections can occur frequently in people with primary sclerosing cholangitis. Antibiotics may be prescribed to treat an infection. If you've had repeated infections, your doctor may recommend antibiotics before procedures that are likely to cause infection, such as endoscopic procedures or surgery.
Primary sclerosing cholangitis makes it difficult for your body to absorb certain vitamins. Even though you may eat a healthy diet, you may find that you can't get all the nutrients you need. Your doctor may recommend vitamin supplements that you take as tablets or that you receive as an infusion through a vein in your arm.
Blockages that occur in your bile ducts can be treated with:
A liver transplant is the only treatment known to cure primary sclerosing cholangitis. During a liver transplant, surgeons remove your diseased liver and replace it with a healthy liver from a donor. Liver transplant is reserved for people with liver failure or other severe complications of primary sclerosing cholangitis. Though uncommon, it's possible for primary sclerosing cholangitis to recur after a liver transplant.
If you've been diagnosed with primary sclerosing cholangitis, take steps to care for your liver, such as:
No alternative medicine treatments have been found to treat primary sclerosing cholangitis. But some complementary and alternative therapies may help you cope with the signs and symptoms of the disease. Talk to your doctor about your options.
Fatigue is common in people with primary sclerosing cholangitis. While doctors can treat some factors that may contribute to fatigue, your signs and symptoms may still persist. You might find relief with complementary and alternative treatments that have shown some benefit for fatigue, such as:

Walter J. Kelsch
Lockport Union-Sun & Journal
Walter J. Kelsch, of Pekin, passed away on Wednesday, October 9, 2013, in his home under the care of his family and Niagara Hospice. He was born in Town of Amherst, NY on July 8, 1919, a son of the late Edward J. and Genevieve (Pfohl) Kelsch.
Mr. Kelsch attended St. Peter and Paul grade school and graduated from Williamsville High School in 1938. He was a Staff Sergeant in the U.S. Army with the 244th Combat Engineers during World War II in the European Theater.

He was a member of the Niagara Falls Employees Union with DuPont and served as chairman on various union committees at DuPont for over 20 years. Walter was a member of the DuPont Retiree's and St. John de LaSalle Church, before joining Immaculate Conception Parish where he was a Trustee, Usher, severed on the Parish Council and a member of the Holy Name Society. He with his wife, had a small grape vineyard and for over 20 years after retiring from DuPont, sold his produce at the North Tonawanda Farmers Market. Mr. Kelsch will be remembered as a devoted husband, father and friend, always willing to help anyone in need, without asking for anything in return. His faith in God and his love for his wife were the cause for his peace of mind and joy in a simple life.
In addition to his wife he is survived by two daughters, Donna Kelsch, SSC of Sanborn and Sharon Patton of Toledo, OH; and his former son-in-law, Terry Patton. He is also survived by many nieces and nephews. He was the father of the late David Kelsch; brother of the late N. Kermit, Allen and Louis Kelsch and Irma Lamn.

Sasha seems very happy and pleased with where she is right now. I don't know many people who can say that. She is VERY well spoken. I have to say, she seems so likable and friendly here, a far cry from her competitive days! she was always so cocky and diva-like before! (I'm not saying that's a bad thing) Her new life does her well. Although she could still pass as a teenager!
Team Peeps!
I think Sasha is very disciplined in her diet as most skaters are. I would think you could get away with a few carbs if you exercised all day like she does, but I guess not. I loved the half an apple part, sheesh, don't eat a whole apple now!
I think Sasha look better with longer hair, but still, she looks great, she has always been very pretty.
My heart still goes out to her, 2006 Olympics and then worlds was rough. But she pulled through and is in a good place now.

Sasha was a waif in 2010. It was almost hard to look at, it didn't look healthy.

How many calories a day does a competitive athlete burn? I burn about 400 calories an hour without working very hard on the elliptical machine at the gym. So an athlete doing four-five hours of on-and-off ice training would have to burn a lot more than that. I know the six hours a day is said to be the standard, but I'd guess that when breaks to talk with the coach or whatever are counted in, a competitive athlete probably puts in four solid hours of exercise a day.
When I was in my teens and early twenties, I didn't exercise much (if at all) and ate loads of junk and carbs, and I was still very thin. While that's not true for everyone, as a generalization I'd say that it's easier to stay thin at a young age than it is later in life - so I don't even understand why it's necessary to go to the extremes some skaters do. Without naming names, there are people who look scary thin to me. Just considering how many hours they have to put into training, surely they can get away with a more balanced, healthy diet? I'm not talking about carb loading like they're doing a marathon or riding in the TdF, but something more balanced than what's been described in this thread.
My guess that's not how Sasha eats these days, and I must say again that she looks fantastic. It's great that she has found a good direction for herself.
She never ages, does she ?

Summer Fellows Program brings civic activists, policymakers to StanfordCDDRL News
Larry Diamond---Hoover Institution senior fellow, CDDRL democracy program coordinator, and former senior advisor to the Coalition Provisional Authority in Iraq---has just discussed causes and consequences of corruption and international efforts to control it with a room full of visiting fellows. This is not just a group of learned political scientists, however, and Diamond does not hesitate to follow a sophisticated piece of analysis with a hard-nosed, view-from-the-ground assessment. He has, for instance, just told the fellows what he thinks of a major development institution. ("I think the World Bank needs to be ripped apart and fundamentally restructured.") He has extended the concept of a "resource curse" to include not just oil but also international assistance. ("In many countries, aid is like oil; it's used for outside rents.") He has recommended that institutions learn the "dance of conditionality" and exercise selectivity, choosing countries to invest in based on demonstrated performance. But the 27 fellows around the table know a thing or two about corruption. Most of them face it in their home countries; many of them have made fighting it part of their work. And almost all of their hands go up to tell Diamond that there is something he missed, or something he got right. Read more »

Niagara County Sheriff's deputies on the scene of a reported stolen car at a convenience store in Wheatfield quickly solved the case — and arrested the man who said it was stolen — thanks to a man working on the roof of the building.
Sheriff's deputies say they arrived at the 7-Eleven on Ward Road about 7:15 a.m. Monday and found Brian E. Schmiege crying uncontrollably. He told deputies he had walked into 7-Eleven to get a Slurpee and when he came out of the store his '89 Ford Crown Victoria was missing from the north-side lot. He told deputies he had the car keys but the doors were unlocked and he had seen a suspicious man in the area prior to going into the store.
Deputies said Schmiege was hyperventilating while being interviewed and told them, "She's all I had man. Someone took my car. This is really happening, they took my car."
Schmiege also told deputies he was supposed to be the Niagara County Sheriff's Office's work program on Monday morning.
Deputies noted that police units from the sheriff's office, state police, Town of Niagara and Lewiston responded to the area in an attempt to locate the missing car.
While talking to Schmiege, deputies were approached by a construction worker who happened to be working on the roof of the 7-Eleven at the time. He told deputies a different story.
The worker said he had watched Schmiege cross Niagara Falls Boulevard on foot from Westby's Pub and walk into the 7-Eleven. The worker said he had not seen an '89 Crown Victoria or a suspicious man in the parking lot.
When confronted with this information, Schmiege told deputies he had made the story up. "All right, my car was not stolen, my friend … has it." He also told deputies he was over at Westby's "checking out the volleyball courts over there."
The search for the car was called off and Schmiege, 26, 1157 Balmer Road, Youngstown, was charged with third-degree falsely reporting an incident.

The Leaf Seeker: Jeff Folger
Where is peak color? Yankee editor Mel Allen has the answer!
Start your trip:
What to See in New England
Autumn Drives, Photos, Blog
Scenic Drives
Vermont's Route 100
It's the church steeple that causes Jeff Folger, a.k.a. Jeff "Foliage," Yankee's compulsive foliage blogger, to spin his red Silverado pickup truck around the town green of Brooklyn, Connecticut. The steeple is an unusual one, with a rectangular base giving way to a mansard-roof cupola covered in copper sheathing. And more to our purpose, it sits smack behind a giant sugar maple, its leaves lit up scarlet on one side.
Folger gets out of the pickup and strides across the green, Canon EOS-1D Mark II in his hands. He stands, he crouches, he swivels the camera to "landscape," then "portrait"; zooms, focuses, walks a few paces to one side, then the other. In the process, he tries every permutation of "subject: church and tree," looking for that one perfect shot that will truly bring alive the spirit of fall foliage in New England.
Today we're not having the best of luck. It's late in the season, and as we drive down to eastern Connecticut from Folger's home in Salem, Massachusetts, the leaves along the highway are muted. That made the scarlet sugar maple all the more of a find. He walks around to the front of the church to examine a second, scraggly little maple, almost completely bare except for a few orange leaves clinging to the top. It's the kind of tree you wouldn't even notice. But zooming in, Folger snaps off a couple of close-ups.
When he pops his SD card into the computer back in the truck, it's clear that he's got the shot. Using a shallow depth of field as he shot the big maple, Folger has focused on the leaves in the foreground, framing the blurry suggestion of the unusual steeple behind them. And there it is: the essence of New England fall in one little rectangle. I've learned the first rule of foliage photography: Just because trees stand still, that doesn't mean you don't have to stalk them. "Most people will see a shot and say 'I'll grab that,'" Jeff tells me, "but a photographer will go explore."
Folger's weekly foliage blog is more than just a catalogue of color around the region; it's a way for him to explore New England through his own unique lens. "Most people don't see the pictures around them all the time. I walk around seeing pictures," he says, popping the card out of the computer. "That doesn't mean it's always like 'Oh my God, there it is!' but it's a matter of seeing possibilities."
The possibility of finding the next great fall shot is what has compelled Folger to shoot, by his count, some 50,000 foliage photographs over the last five autumns. And yet, several times a week, he still saddles up his truck, laptop balanced on his cup holders, GPS on the dash, digital voice recorder dangling from the rear-view mirror. At one point, I ask him if he feels he's obsessed. He thinks a moment before hanging his head and mumbling, "Yeah, I guess so."
Folger isn't your average leaf peeper. A 22-year military veteran and recent New England transplant, he received his first camera, a Rollei, when he was just 8 or 9, growing up in Erie, Pennsylvania. His father, an Army Air Corps veteran and engineer, used to take his son to a local construction site to take pictures of the equipment.

Thursday, October 16: 'Surviving an Economic Slump' is library offering
Managing finances or even accumulating some savings seems relatively easy during economic good times. However, during an economic slump, managing personal finances and making them stretch to cover even essential items becomes a greater challenge.
To provide some suggestions, Sheri Hagood will present a program, "Successful Budgeting During an Economic Slump," based upon the Dave Ramsey financial program. To be held at the Blount County Public Library, the program will be held on Thursday, Oct. 16, at 7 p.m.
Hagood, a certified Dave Ramsey Financial Counselor, will discuss the Baby Steps to finding Financial Peace, Budgeting, Cash Envelope System, and Getting out of Debt. She will also comment on how things have changed from "The Great Depression" to our current economy. At the conclusion of the program, she will answer any questions.
A CPA, Hagood became a certified Dave Ramsey Financial Counselor in 2000 and then founded and operates Compass Financial Counseling and provides financial counseling in the Knoxville area. In 1987, she graduated from UT-Knoxville with a B.S. in Business Administration with a major in Accounting.
The "Successful Budgeting During and Economic Slump" program is one of the series of programs for The Big Read, and initiative of the National Endowment for the Arts in partnership with the Institute of Museum and Library Services and Arts Midwest. This year's programs focus on topics related to John Steinbeck's book, The Grapes of Wrath. For further information call the library at 865-982-0981 or visit the Web site at www.blountlibrary.org.
Saturday, October 18: MC Harvest Craft and Bake Sale will be Saturday
The annual Maryville College Harvest Craft and Bake Sale, scheduled for Sat., Oct. 18, will feature treats for the eyes and the stomach, and all for a good cause: to provide college scholarships for Blount County students. The sale runs from 9 a.m. until 3:30 p.m. in the Cooper Athletic Center on campus.
The event is organized by Maryville College's Blount County Alumni Chapter, headed by Robin Schwall Harbin, class of 1990. The event, the main fundraiser for the chapter's scholarship program, is part of a three-day Homecoming celebration which takes place Oct. 17-19.
Last year's bake sale broke a record for most money raised. "It was the highest grossing year we've had," said Carol Clark, administrative assistant for advancement and facilitator for the event.
This year will once again feature a variety of crafts, including wind chimes, handmade jewelry, stained glass, Christmas paraphernalia, quilts, woodcrafts, hand-knit clothing, Russian crafts, and handmade soaps, candles and books.
Saturday, October 18: St. Francis Catholic Bazaar benefits church, animals
The 2nd Annual St. Francis Catholic Church Bazaar will be on Saturday, Oct. 18, at the church in Townsend. The proceeds from this event will benefit both the church and the Blount County Humane Society's efforts to build a no-kill shelter.
Offered at the bazaar will be a White Elephant sale, lunch catered by Mike Nester and the Guidry's, a bake sale, raffle, games for children, music by Marty Wade, mountain-style storytelling and a blessing of the animals.
The Blessing of the Animals will be at 10 a.m. Bazaar times are 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., with the raffle drawing held at 1:30 p.m. Businesses who have donated goods to the bazaar will be recognized in the Local Yokel after the festival. For information, call 865-984-4639 or 865-448-6374.
Saturday, October 18: Saddle up with Horse Haven for National Rideathon/ Walkathon
Horse lovers from across the country are getting ready for the first ever national effort to benefit charities helping horses. Eighty charities from more than 35 states have signed on to run a rideathon/ walkathon to help raise funds and awareness for neglected, abused and unwanted horses in the National Rescue Ride on October 18.
Riders and walkers interested in joining the effort can go to www.Nationalrescueride.org to register and choose Horse Haven of Tennessee as the charity. The ride/walk is being held at Lovingood Springs Farm - 3203 Miser Station Road, Louisville, TN at 10 a.m. They can print their sponsorship/pledge form and start signing on friends and family to support their effort in the ride. All funds will go to the charity.

Monday, October 20: The Orchestra at Maryville College opens new season
Three heavyweights of classical composition - Beethoven, Brahms and Wagner - will help the Orchestra at Maryville College (OMC) usher in its 2008-2009 season. Acclaimed works by the composers will be featured in the Orchestra's first concert of the season, scheduled for 7:30 p.m., Oct. 20, in the sanctuary of Maryville's First Baptist Church.
Conductor Bill Robinson begins his third season at the podium with a splash of Wagnerian color with the Rienzi Overture. First heard in Dresden in 1842, this overture to Wagner's third operatic work begins with a soothing melody and ends with a battle hymn full of force and drama.
Next on the program is Johannes Brahms' Academic Festival Overture. Composed in 1880 as an acknowledgment of receipt of an honorary doctoral degree from the University of Breslau, Brahms modestly described this work as "a jolly potpourri of student songs…" Tunes still familiar to modern audiences can be heard in the four continuous movements.
Concluding the concert will be Beethoven's Symphony No. 7 in A major, Op. 92. Premiered in 1813 in Vienna as a benefit for Austrian and Bavarian soldiers wounded in the Napoleonic wars, this symphony was an instant success - so much so that the performance was repeated a few days later. The work is known for its use of rhythmic devices. It is also tonally subtle, making use of the tensions between the key centers of A, C and F.
Tickets are $10 for adults and $7.50 for seniors 60 and over and can be purchased at the door. Admission is free to Maryville College faculty, staff and students with MC ID, and also free to students 18 and under.
Season tickets - $30 for adults and $23 for seniors - will be available Oct. 20 for all four concerts: Oct. 20, Dec. 1, March 2, and April 27, 2009.
The Orchestra at Maryville College is a college and community ensemble comprised of volunteer and student musicians dedicated to performing quality symphonic music for local audiences. What began in 1913 with five members is now a dynamic group of more than 60 musicians from Blount County and surrounding communities.
Conductor Bill Robinson is also director of orchestras at Maryville City Schools. For more information, contact Genevieve Michael at 865-27-.8871 or email@example.com.

Friday October 24, and Saturday, October 25: Noel Coward's Blithe Spirit to be presented
SKIT Productions' Adult Community Theatre (ACT) is proud to present the smash comedy hit of the London and Broadway stages, Noel Coward's Blithe Spirit, as the third production of its inaugural season.
The classic tale centers on the tribulations of Charles Condomine (played by veteran actor Joe Jaynes, making his ACT debut) as he is haunted by the ghost of his first wife Elvira (Lindsey Lowe) who appears following a séance orchestrated by the eccentric medium, Madam Arcati (Lesli Crowe). Elvira's appearance throws the ordered life Charles leads with his second wife (Lisa Hatmaker, following her appearance in this summer's Crimes of the Heart) into turmoil as Elvira tries to rekindle her relationship with Charles. Also in the cast are Brenda Gaudet, Lora Pell, and Ron Morton.
This ingenious farce is scheduled for a Broadway revival in March 2009. Don't miss your opportunity to observe Charles' attempts to extricate himself from the "blithe spirits" in his house in a play that has been described as "hilariously funny, brilliant, clever, and about as cockeyed as a play can be." Blithe Spirit will be presented on Friday and Saturday, Oct. 24 and 25, at 7 p.m., and again on Saturday, Nov. 1, at 7 p.m. A special matinee performance will be held on Sunday, Nov. 2, at 3 p.m. Seating is limited.

What's onScotland
Scotland is renowned across the globe for its rich culture and heritage, and its contribution to the world past and present. From its thriving contemporary arts and music scene to its achievements in industry, medicine, science, law and literature, Scotland's story is one of immense achievement
Scottish writing has a distinguished position in the pantheon of world literature, through the Scottish poets, novelists, short story writers, philosophers, screenwriters, playwrights, storytellers, song makers, scientists, historians and biographers.
A history steeped in literature
From heroic epics to poignant tragedy, early Scottish literature was dominated by poetry and in particular, John Barbour (c.1320-1395), Scottish poet and the first major named literary figure to write in Scots.
Perhaps the best known figure in Scottish literature internationally is Robert Burns (1759-1796), our national Bard, whose work is celebrated worldwide with Burns Suppers on 25 January each year. Regarded as a pioneer of the Romantic movement, Burns' work includes A Red, Red Rose,Tam O'Shanter, and Ae Fond Kiss, not to mention Auld Lang Syne which is sung at Hogmanay.
Sir Walter Scott (1771-1832), recognised in Europe as the creator of the modern historical novel, was the first British novelist to become a famous public figure, pioneering a new type of romantic historiography. His novels, ballads, poems and other writings have been translated into almost every major world language and the world's largest monument to an author sits in Edinburgh, commemorating this Scottish author's life and work.
Scotland's writers
The list of acclaimed contemporary Scottish writers of fiction, poetry and plays reads a little like a Who's Who of literature: James Kelman, A L Kennedy, Ali Smith, Jackie Kay, Kate Atkinson, Iain Banks, Janice Galloway, Liz Lochhead, Alasdair Gray, Gregory Burke, Irvine Welsh, Andrew O'Hagan, James Robertson, Don Paterson, Kathleen Jamie, Douglas Dunn, Edwin Morgan, John Burnside…the list goes on.
Carol Ann Duffy, the UK's Poet Laureate, hails from Glasgow and world-famous authors Alexander McCall Smith (No.1 Ladies' Detective Agency series), Ian Rankin (Rebus series) and JK Rowling (Harry Potter series) all live and work in Edinburgh.
Other novelists associated with Edinburgh who have made a particularly strong impact around the world include: James Hogg (The Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner), Sir Walter Scott (Waverley series), Robert Louis Stevenson (Treasure Island, Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde), JM Barrie (Peter Pan), Kenneth Grahame (The Wind in the Willows), Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (Sherlock Holmes series), RM Ballantyne (The Coral Island), John Buchan (The Thirty-Nine Steps) and Muriel Spark (The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie).

BETTER project intends to address RES cooperation between the EU and third countries in several dimensions. The starting point is given through the cooperation mechanisms provided by the RES Directive, allowing Member States to achieve their 2020 RES targets in a more cost efficient way, and thereby including the possibility to cooperate with third countries. Thus, the core objective of BETTER is to assess, through case studies, stakeholders involvement and integrated analysis, to what extent cooperation with third countries can help Europe achieve its RES targets in 2020 and beyond, trigger the deployment of RES electricity projects in third countries and create synergies and win-win circumstances for all involved parties.Contact:
Europe and the Gulf have a number of interests in common ranging from trade, energy and climate policies to education, culture and communication. The European Union (EU) and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) remain committed to promoting these mutual interests and to reinforcing their cooperation. The project, lasting two years, aims to explore ways to promote relations between the EU and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), through the implementation of policy-oriented research, outreach and training activities. The overall project objective is to strengthen understanding and cooperation between the EU and the GCC, with particular attention to the strategic areas identified in the Joint Action Programme of 2010, such as trade and finance, energy and transport. The project, led by the IAI, is implemented by a consortium of research institutes, both from Europe and the Gulf, and is divided into 10 work packages (funding: European Commission).Contact:

Columnist Art Thiel
As the longtime chairman of the Seattle City Council's land use committee, Richard Conlin knows a few things about dirt and what goes on top of it.
At the moment, however he finds himself under a fair amount of real estate after basketball fans heard about a letter he sent constituents that said of the new basketball/hockey arena: "It is unlikely that this proposal will be approved."
He becomes the first member of either the city or King County councils to offer a forecast, and apparently his voting intention, on the fate of the $490 million project backed by Seattle native Chris Hansen, Microsoft chairman Steve Ballmer and members of the Nordstrom family.
The local Twitterverse immediately came alive with contempt from basketball fans for Conlin's position. At the least, the timing was surprising since council staffers are still researching the proposal and further public hearings are scheduled before the panels vote in August.
Conlin Hansen did not return phone calls and voice mails. His letter did not say how he knew the rest of the council members position on the proposal.
In the letter, wherein Conlin misspelled throughout Hansen's name ("Hanson"), Conlin listed "a four-part test" that the council is supposed to be using to reach a decision. The first part was easy: yes, having the NBA back in Seattle would be a good thing.
The second test was arena location. He viewed with "skepticism" the SoDo location because of impacts on traffic and KeyArena, but wrote, "We need to continue to review."
The third test was appropriateness for public investment, to which he wrote, "I have seen no evidence that justifies making a public investment, nor any serious reason why a public investment is necessary for the project to proceed."
Of the fourth test, protection of the public investment, he wrote: "It is not clear that the proposed relocation guarantee, for example, is any stronger than the lease which the Sonics broke when they moved to Oklahoma City. It is not clear whose assets are on the line if the arena becomes insolvent -- the arena in Portland (with a team owned by Paul Allen, who certainly has deep pockets) declared bankruptcy, leading to a difficult and challenging financial problem."
He concluded the letter by saying arena advocates ought to lobby Hansen to make the project a 100 percent private enterprise.
He began the letter by saying "we do not invest public money in businesses," which was odd because the proposal does not call for an investment in an NBA or NHL teams, which are private businesses. Hansen proposes a project whose building and land would become publicly owned property that houses private businesses, in the way that King County taxpayers partially subsidize the Port of Seattle, which allows use by for-profit companies of the seaport and airport.
Additionally, Conlin's statement about not investing in businesses contradicts the policies outlined here by the Seattle Office of Economic Development.
Also, the city and county have a long history of investing in public sports facilities that house private teams. Resentment of that practice among many taxpayers is what led Hansen to propose a $290 million private investment, and what amounts to a maximum $200 million loan from the public. The public money is largely a tax abatement over 30 years that does not include new taxes.
There is a theoretical risk to the public from bankruptcy, but Hansen's documents and testimony were explicit that, in the unlikely event of bankruptcy, the municipalities would end up owning the team assets as well as the building in the event of default. That is nearly unprecedented in modern public-private partnerships.
Regarding the sale of the Sonics to Oklahoma City interests, the franchise did not "break" the lease, but instead left with the blessing of the city council when the parties settled a landlord-tenant lawsuit brought by the city that released the Sonics two years early in exchange for $45 million. Conlin was a signatory to the deal, despite the fact that many observers believed a federal judge would rule in favor of the city's position.
In an email Monday on another arena topic, the validity of former councilman Peter Steinbrueck's claim made to the county council last week that the location of the proposed arena violates land-use ordinances, a claim rejected by Mayor Mike McGinn, Conlin said both were partly right.
Conlin and Steinbrueck were co-chairs of the land-use committee in 2000 when ordinances were adopted that defined the baseball and football stadiums as part of a stadium transition zone that allowed for some sports/recreational use around the stadiums but were intended to limit impacts on the area's industrial uses.
"Having reviewed the staff report on the stadium transition zone," Conlin wrote in an email, "it reinforces my memory that Peter is right that there was no thought of a third stadium-like facility at the time. The Mayor's staff is also right that there is no legal barrier to an arena on that site.
"Intentionality is another question, and the staff report does indicate that the intention of adding those blocks to the south of Safeco Field (which the staff had recommended against) was to support uses that relate to the stadia and to provide a buffer to the industrial area, not to contemplate another stadium use in this area. So my interpretation would be that building the arena would be legal within the current framework of laws, but that Peter is correct that it represents a reinterpretation of the purpose of including this area in the stadium transition zone.
"So, it remains fundamentally a policy question, not a legal question, and Peter's points provide some additional weight to the argument that this is a poor fit with the industrial zoning around it -- i.e., that the City in 2000 would have been unhappy with such a proposal, and quite likely would have prohibited it if it had been presented. The extent to which that is still true in 2012 is, to my mind, an empirical question that ought to be able to be settled with data."
So in Conlin's view, Steinbrueck's point was misstated as a legal argument, but may have merit with council members who agree with the priority of preservation of the industrial area.
Regarding the "four tests," the views of Conlin, as a former council president and a member for 14 years, may be influential. But his flawed representation of Hansen's proposal, the dismissal of the project's chances before all the research is complete and his absence of an accounting for his conclusion, is a bewilderment.
And spelling the man's name correctly is always helpful for credibility.

Josh Berry, 41, and Robin Berry, 40, died on July 2 when a car veered into oncoming traffic on Highway 285 in Fort Stockton and struck their minivan head-on. The family was on their way home to Houston from a vacation in Colorado. Their three children, 9-year-old Peter, 8-year-old Aaron and 6-year-old Willa, were injured in the crash. Peter and Aaron both have spinal cord injuries and will likely need medical care for years to come. Friends, family members and total strangers from around the world have joined in an effort to raise money to help support the Berry children.Clockwise from lower left: Aaron, Robin, Joshua, Willa and Peter Berry

The staff was very friendly and welcoming. My room did not have any visible dust or dirt but it felt a bit unclean. My biggest issue was with the wifi. I could not connect to the wifi from my room. Also even when I would bring my laptop and connect to the wifi and the main area, I still had connection problems. Their breakfast consist of one fried egg and 2 rolls of bread with butter on the side.
