Project Doubles Coal Pit
Two years ago, as members of the Innsbrook Rotary Club sat down to screen proposals for their 20th anniversary project, one proposal kept rising to the top.
While the other plans were slick, polished, and professionally packaged, the one that caught the eye of the Rotarians was painstakingly handwritten.
"You could just see the passion in the handwriting," recalls the club's past president, Fred Thompson.
Authored by Dorothy Gallimore, founder and director of the Coal Pit Learning Center, the handwritten pages summed up Gallimore's dream of reaching out to more low-income families.
Since 1976, more than 900 preschoolers have been educated in Coal Pit's tiny, century-old building, originally built as a one-room schoolhouse for children of African-American coal miners.
But every year, far too many children were left on the waiting list due to the limited capacity of the aging structure. Even the three-to-five-year-olds lucky enough to attend the free program were limited to two or three mornings a week. The lack of space hampered family visits and gatherings for student performances or graduations; Gallimore's "office space" consisted of a desk in a tiny, cramped closet.
In search of a cause to celebrate both the club's anniversary and the Rotary International theme "Making Dreams Real," committee members voted unanimously to support Gallimore's dream.
Last month, they joined local and national officials at the Center to celebrate the culmination of the dream and open the doors to an expansion that doubled the school's size.
Community Cooperation
At the Sept. 17 grand opening, National PTA President Charles J. Saylors was on hand to help cut the ribbon and praise the project as an example of what can result when county government, business leaders, civic associations, parents and teachers all work together to benefit children.
Noting that his job requires travels not only across the country, but also to Department of Defense affiliates in other lands, Saylors noted, "I've seen communities . . . where this air of cooperation does not exist."
Doubling the capacity of the school will give that many more children the chance to begin their education "on the right foot," said Saylors. "Thirty years from now, we may be working with an architect or doctor who started his or her education at this very spot."
Innsbrook Rotarian Steve Bacon, president of the Coal Pit Learning Center Board of Directors, cited a recent Joint Chiefs of Staff study that examined the decline in skills among military recruits and determined that the number-one remedy was positive intervention at the preschool level.
At Coal Pit, he noted, testing shows that 95 percent of students are at or above age and grade level as they prepare to enter elementary school.
That is no small feat, added Bacon, considering the at-risk population that attends the Center. "Hard to believe, in the fashionable west end of Richmond," said Bacon, "but there is abject poverty . . . within three miles of this school."
Not only can the school now accept more children for preschool and after-school care, but it also can expand its hours of operation, enabling parents (many of them single) to work full-time.
The expanded facility, which replaced one small classroom with two large ones, also boasts wheelchair accessibility, kitchen and laundry facilities, and an office for Gallimore.
The Rotary club raised $140,000 for the project, and an estimated $110,000 in labor, materials and professional services were donated by businesses, civic and religious organizations and individuals. Thompson's architectural firm, Architects Dayton and Thompson, provided architectural and design services. St. Michael's Catholic Church and KBS Construction, both of which are located near the school, were among other local organizations that donated in-kind, helping to keep the project to about a third of what it normally would cost.
Jim Bynum, governor-elect for Rotary District 7600, noted at the grand opening that the Rotary district conference will be held in Short Pump next year, and that the Center will be showcased as a model service project for other clubs.
As the ribbon-cutting ceremony drew to a close and the crowd prepared to enter and view the improvements, Bacon pointed out that fundraising is an ongoing effort and that the Center operates on an annual budget of $90,000. "That's miniscule by any standard," added Bacon, "especially when you consider what's accomplished here."
For those who have taken part in the project, however, or who continue to contribute to the school's success, the gratification is immediate.
"You can see the direct benefit of your contribution at any time," said Bacon. "It's right here in the middle of your community.
"What a win, win, win situation," exulted Bacon. "For children, for their entire family, and for our community!"

Agencies combine on new entry point to Chickahominy
Canoeing and kayaking enthusiasts soon will have a new access point to the Chickahominy River. VDOT, the James River Association and Henrico County Parks and Recreation are teaming up to establish a new site in Eastern Henrico.
The James River Association negotiated the deal with VDOT to procure official access to the area located just east of I-295 on North Airport Road in Sandston. The site includes a park-and-ride commuter lot bordering the Chickahominy River and has been an unofficial launch site used by paddlers for years. > Read more.

Pros – The KA I worked out had some very smart, very experienced teachers. I wouldn't say that every classroom was on top of its game, but at least 4 out of 6 were very good. And at least 3 of 6 were excellent. Most of my coworkers were friendly and willing to help you learn new things, etc. They also give an nice discount if you are a parent who would like your child to attend while you are working there.
Cons – I couldn't say whether the benefits were great, because I didn't use them. I already had benefits through my husband's employer. The pay may have seemed like less than one would hope for (despite being the average salary for such a position), but, for me, when the cost of child care was factored in, it was a substantial sum.
Advice to Senior Management – The Director did a very good job. The owners didn't seem as if they loved having to constantly tend to the business, but they did what they needed to.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
I have been working at Kiddie Academy full-time

Arcana DC 25: Slime devils are born of loathing, intrigue, and anger. They use their talents to rip thoughts from the minds of their enemies. Unlike most devils, slime devils are neither former angels nor immortal servants being punished for transgressions against their gods. They are the amalgamation of the corrupt souls of inquisitors who came to rest in the swamps of Minauros. Filled with arrogance and hate, these souls are pulled indelibly toward Minauros until coming to rest in the swamps. There, each soul's roiling mess of emotion seeps into the acidic black sludge, and from it, a slime devil emerges.

Not Your Ordinary Farm in Williston
Patricia Zerbini owns Two Tails Ranch, this is where Fraser works seven days a week.
"Just being able to interact with them is what makes me wake up every morning, said Fraser. "Knowing I get to come out here and take care of them."
"I think a lot of people truly don't understand how drastic their survival is at this point," said Zerbini.
Zerbini says the population of Asian elephants is dropping and the amount of land lost to urbanization in their country is massive.
"I think people really need to start looking to the future which would be captive breeding and preservation programs outside of their countries," Zerbini said.
"They see me and they realize 'oh this is my guy.' You do get a strong bond with those animals, especially because they are such a higher intelligence animal and they recognize you as their care taker," Fraser said.
Through tours at two tails ranch you can learn more about these endangered elephants.

RALEIGH — The International Bluegrass Music Association says 25 million Americans claim bluegrass as one of their favorite styles of music. That preference extends worldwide, with artists and fans from as far off as Ireland, Czechoslovakia, Russia and Japan.
Much credit for the musics popularity rests with IBMA, the professional trade organization having its World of Bluegrass this week in Raleigh.
Founded in 1985, IBMA supports all segments of the industry in a common quest for commercial and artistic success.
(IBMA) has been a force to unite the members of the bluegrass community so that we can speak as one voice, said IBMAExecutive Director Nancy Cardwell. There are certain things we can accomplish as a group better than we can individually.
Promoting artists
IBMAs triumphs include promoting artists, such as Alison Krauss and North Carolinas Steep Canyon Rangers, in their campaigns for Grammy awards. The organization successfully lobbied Billboard magazine to add a bluegrass music sales chart. And through IBMA, artists have access to affordable health, liability and instrument insurance.
With more than 2,500 members from all 50 states and 30 countries, IBMA is open to anyone with an interest in bluegrass music. Members include artists, fans, promoters, journalists, publicists and agents.
The public face of IBMA centers on this week, with its awards, trade show, talent showcases and Wide Open Bluegrass Festival.
A trust fund, supported by one-half of the proceeds from the week, provides financial assistance to uninsured and underinsured musicians, helping them with medical expenses.
Bluegrass museum
But IBMA operates year-round. It holds monthly webinars and Leadership Bluegrass, a networking and educational program designed to promote and strengthen bluegrass in local communities. It administers the International Bluegrass Music Museum in Owensboro, Ky., sponsoring outreach programs and honoring the history of bluegrass and its pioneers.
Cardwell points to IBMAs Bluegrass in the Schools program as one of its proudest achievements.
If you ask anyone in IBMA about young people playing bluegrass, they get very excited about it, Cardwell says. Were all about passing the torch to the next generation. We care about the future of this music.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture has dubbed all of Texas a natural disaster as the worst drought in decades persists across most of the state.
In a news release sent Tuesday, the department designated 213 counties directly impacted by drought as disasters and said the remaining 41 also qualified for assistance because they are contiguous.
The designation, which also applies to 32 counties in four neighboring states, allows ranchers and farmers to apply for low-interest emergency loans.
Texas has had excessive heat, high winds and wildfires since the first of the year. More than 3 million acres have been scorched by the wildfires.
Losses in agriculture could top the 2006 record of $4.1 billion. About 71 percent of the state is in the worst drought stage.

Shen & Zhao
Savchenko & Szolkowy
one question, though why were Gordeeva/Grinkov not on the poll list
was it because they are locks to win like Kwan, Yagudin and Grischuk/Platov
no fair !
I think that Berezhnaya and Sikharulidze had the best short program of all time. It was amazing.
It's a tough vote because I love all three remaining pairs for very different reasons. I just can't vote for B&S because I think they're the best. Purest skating skills, speed, great technique (except possibly the crashy twists that crept in towards the end of their career).
Which leaves S&Z and S&S and I didn't know who to pick. Sentimentally I love S&Z, I love the way they finally put effort into the presentation and stopped trying the throw quad. They really made great emotional connections with the audience when they skated.
S&S I just love because they have great technique and at the same time have come up with really interesting ideas and execution for their programmes - things we really haven't seen before and intersting music choices.
In the end I picked S&Z to go just because B&S are untouchable for me, and right now I love S&S and can't wait to see what else they will do.
I think S/S should be voted out without a second thought, and I can't believe people want to vote S/Z out right now. S/S have such major inconsistency problems, and were only able to dominate because the other pairs simply weren't World Champion material during the last quadrennial. I love S/S and think the overall skating quality is comparable with the other two pairs here, but they're just way too inconsistent.
S/Z revolutionized pairs skating by introducing big throws and twists, which led other pairs to follow suit. They produced arguably the three best pairs LPs in major competition during the 2000-2010 decade:
2003 Worlds: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5cz6r2XE8N0
2004 GPF: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHQRf...eature=related
2005 GPF: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IbUQK...0C9E501523544B
I don't get how anyone who has seen these programs can think they can be any lower than 2nd. They combined their huge throws and twists that got their attention early on with some of the most compelling pairs programs of all time.
And while B/S may have superior basic skating and execution of some elements such as spins, they too had major consistency problems. How often did they skate two clean programs in major competition?
S/S have obviously had their share of mistakes -but I believe it was largely due to Ingo insisting on many details and permanently pushing them out of their comfort zone. You'll notice that their 2010/11 season when they had toned down on transitions and just went for a fun programme has been very consistent .
Did S&S ever beat S&Z? I don't think so, at least not at the big comps.
S/Z and S/S only competed against each other 6 times. The first was at the Winter Olympics 06; S/Z had already been together for 13 seasons, for S/S it as only their 2nd full season together. No brainer. One would win bronze and one would get sixth. The next season (06-07) they met 3 times. At the Cup of China S/Z won to S/S third, at the GPF S/Z won to S/S silver and at Worlds 07, S/Z won to S/S bronze. S/Z had just finished their 14th season together and retired and S/S just finished their third.
After 2 seasons off S/Z came back-obviously seeing the podium of S/S, Z/Z ad K/S (and P/T) and feeling with two years off they may have a shot at another medal if not a gold.
S/Z and S/S met two more time at the GPF where S/S got bronze to S/Z gold and the Olympics with the same result.
S/Z never met S/S as their equals because S/Z had such a head start on their training, maybe if S/S had been a pair since 92 it would have been a different story but you can't possible compare a team who had been together for almost 3 times longer than the other one, it's ridiculous. I have already explained my position ad nauseam on why S/S had such a bad Olympic year, but comparing the two is still comparing apples to oranges.
wow, they're going head to head for now.
What an exciting round!

Your nest may not be the cleanest place. Germs grow -- and grow quickly -- and forgetting to clean under and over hard to reach places can actually make you sick.
More shocking, though: some studies have found the things we use the most -- doorknobs, light switches and even our favourite handbags -- are probably the reason we get sick, according to ABC News.
Now, we don't recommend you take that mop and duster and clean/tackle every single spot on this list. But cleaning these "forgotten" places should be done in moderation at least every other week.
Scared of mould and mildew taking over your home? Here are 20 things you shouldn't forget to clean.
Cleaning Products
If you've invested money in a high-end vacuum cleaner, chances are it also needs some TLC. Often, we get so busy picking up dirt, hairs and dust with our cleaning tools -- we forget to actually clean them.
Under The Rug
Sure, we love tucking dust and dirt under the rug, but do you actually clean under there? Rugs pick up everything from pet urine to toenails so you may want to consider hiring a carpet cleaner once a year.
Your Handbag
In 2006, researchers found our most-used purses are probably the reason we're getting sick. Our bags were more likely to collect germs on the outside and on the bottom.
House Plants
Sure, you water your plants, but how often do you actually clean them? Plant leaves can often build a layer of dust if kept indoors.
Trash Cans
Yes, the trash can is meant for trash, but it's the excess germs on the sides you should be taking care of. For garbage cans you leave outside, washing them down once in a while with a hose is probably for the best -- especially when insects can breed and these germs can spread into your home.
Toothbrush Holder
Take a look at your current toothbrush holder, do you see any black mould? Mould can grow on your toothbrush and holder if you leave your brush in warm and wet places.
Light Switches
We touch our light switches everyday -- when we get home, when we use the toilet. For easy clean up tips, use a microfibre cloth with a household cleaning product and scrub away any dirt or grime.
The Plastic
Picture this: you're carrying groceries, waiting in line and have your credit card in your mouth. Probably not the best idea -- credit cards are breeding grounds for bacteria. To clean, just use some rubbing alcohol and a cloth.
Favourite Pens
Most of us probably know a pen biter. Pens that are left on tables, inside purses and desks are often covered with germs.
Sink Drains
Smelling anything funky in your kitchen lately? It could be your drain. For a quick DIY recipe, try pouring about 1/2 cup of baking soda into the drain  and turn on your hot water.
Most people fear doorknobs in public bathrooms or at restaurants, but knobs at home are just as bad. One easy way to ensure germ-free knobs is to use anti-bacterial disposable wipes.
Under Major Appliances
We clean around them, wipe down the front, but do you ever check under? Food spills, dust and crumbs can all collect under your stove and fridge.
Behind Wall Art
The next time you clean your glass picture frames, remember to clean under them as well.
Under The Bed (Not Just The Sides)
We're all of age to know that monsters don't live under the bed. To avoid dirt build-up, use an extending mop or vacuum cleaner to get hard to reach spots.
Ceiling fans, chandeliers and crown mouldings can all collect dust. To clean, use a duster with a extendible handle.
Just because you close them at night, doesn't mean the dust is gone. Using a window cleaner with a cloth, wipe your blinds every other weekend.
Phone Receivers
Mobile phones have 18 times more bacteria than a toilet handle... yes, we will stop at this stat. Just don't forget to clean your phones.
Top Of Your Fridge
One of the most forgotten spots to clean is on top of the fridge. To avoid dirt build-up, use a paper towel and spray cleaner on it once a week.
Shower Curtains
Shower curtains can also be home to mildew. Again, to avoid build-up spray down your curtains with a disinfectant after each shower.
Porch Lights
Just imagine how much your outdoor lights are subjected to being outdoors: rain, mould, insects. To keep your lights in best their shape, remove the actual fixture and use a cloth and window cleaner to clear out debris.

text: I've been running into a growing number of albums that are horribly mastered. One of the most recent was a Civil Wars album that is so badly compressed that it's utterly boring to listen to. It's just one of a pretty long list of albums that I've been disappointed with. So my question is; does anyone know of a good source for reviews regarding the quality of pressings? I know there are a number of personal sites/blogs that offer some reviews, but it's usually a very limited selection, and also typically hi-end reissues and such. I'm wanting something more like a audiophile friendly forum that people post reviews of everyday releases. Anyone know of such a site? Or should I look into starting one? ;-)

It's the only youth chartered credit union in the world and it's right here in Madison!
Star Credit Union, located inside the Boys and Girls Club, is teaching kids financial literacy. Kids participate in activities like Teller of the Day, Saver of the Month and other programs to help them navigate through the financial world. They can also open a savings account at the credit union.
"It's like good to put money inside the credit union because you could save a lot of money," says Quantez Williams.
"Some of them know what CD's are. A lot of them know how to write checks. They know how to balance their accounts. They know their balances. They are very amazing in their financial knowledge," according to Star Credit Union Manager Shannon Griswold.
Star Credit Union is sponsored by Summit Credit Union.

A rather new phenomenon to area rug development is the leather shag rug.
These are not what you think when you hear leather. They are not tanned animal hides, cow hide or sheepskin but a tied or woven item in the shag style.
A spaghetti leather shag rug is made of long, delicate strands of very soft leather or suede.
The most subtle, delicate and unique of all is the fine spaghetti shag rug made from Italian or Spanish calf or kid leather. These are shag rugs that employ slender strips of leather, like spaghetti, which are then hand tufted into a cotton backing. They are plush thick rugs, very different from the flat weave leather rugs that look like car seat protectors. They are fluffy not smooth. The great thing about these rugs is that they bring that wonderful leather smell to any room, even if they are a bizarre or none traditional color. They come in everything from tan or brown to neon bright funky modern pinks and purples.
Not Cheap Shag Rugs
Real leather area rugs are not cheap. Like all true leather home furnishings, be it a sofa a chair or a footstool, if made from leather they will cost a pretty penny. For a medium sized design expect to pay anywhere from $250 to more than $400. You may be able to find a small handmade rug that super soft suede for about $60, but it will be very small. Most can be spot cleaned with warm water and mild soap but otherwise, as with all leather products, they will require professional rug cleaning from time to time.
One 8 foot round leather Spaghetti shag rug in a rich brown color, which has been hand tied and has a leather and cotton blend, ultra soft and cozy is a great value for just under $220.
Leather Area Rugs and International Shipping
If you are hoping to order a leather shag rug from an online distributor, please be aware that many leather products cannot be shipped internationally. It is best to find an online rug merchant who is in your own country if possible and has already gone through the leather import process on your behalf.
Leather Shag Rugs and Fire Resistance
The other thing to be careful about is that some leather rugs are not fire resistant and may not be a good idea to have near the fireplace or in the kitchen. Please check the label for fire retarding protection before selecting a leather area rug or any kind of shag rug, be it a wool shag rug, a cotton shag rug, or a leather shag rug, especially if it is to be a kids rug or will be anywhere near a radiator, water heater, stove or open fire.
Leather Shag Color Variations
Another thing to be careful with when buying a leather area rug is the color. What you see on your screen (when shopping online) may not be exactly what you receive in the mail. Exact color matching is almost impossible. There are two ways to help: Order a swatch first. Visit a carpet retailer in your area and see the colors and then order online for better prices. However, even when you buy leather rugs in a shop you will note that no two leather products will take to the dye in the exact same way.
So, if you need two identical area rugs, buy them at the same time and from the same merchant. Even then there is no guarantee. Color variants in leather are not just a little different, but can be very noticeable. That however is part of the charm of natural shag rugs as a whole, they are natural and hand made and will not be manufactured mimicked copies of each other.

We loved the almost new, private location overlooking Frenchman's Bay. The kitchen was nicely stocked and equipped with the latest appliances. There was a large deck and kayaks were included with this rental. There were good restaurants and lobster pounds nearby. We would definitely recommend this home away.
We were two couples looking for a comfortable lodge to live in while we explore this beautiful national park by day. We found the Brum Chalet to be all that the listing said it would be. The location was comvenient to the park as well as Bar Harbour. It was very private and quiet. The view from the deck was spectacular. The great room fireplace was delightful to relax by in the evening. The kitchen was spacious and comfortable to work in, but the knives need sharpening! The laundry facilities enabled us to pack less clothing for the week. There were plenty of towels and clean bedding provided. The Brum Chalet was an excellent choice for us and we would recommend it to our friends.

VIDEO: ISU's Brown delivers winning block
Two years ago, Indiana State knocked Evansville out of the Missouri Valley Conference men's basketball tournament via a last-second shot. On Friday? It was a last-second swat.
VIDEO: No Arop, no energy, no victory for Sycamores
Indiana State's men's basketball team wanted to use its last home game of the season Wednesday as a springboard to success in next week's Missouri Valley Conference tournament.
VIDEO: ISU crashes at Missouri State
Indiana State earned the pole position in the Missouri Valley Conference men's basketball standings last weekend and had its first chance to lead a lap.
But at JQH Arena on Tuesday, the Sycamores crashed in the first turn.
Missouri State afforded ISU the respect it earned as conference leaders with an inspired effort. The Bears' defense had ISU on its heels for the majority of the contest, and a late comeback effort by the Sycamores fell short in a 67-65 loss.
VIDEO: Sycamore stress test: ISU survives Southern Illinois
The Sycamores started flat – down by 12 four-minutes-into-the-game level of flat – and needed some heroes to infuse the energy needed to keep their Missouri Valley Conference title hopes alive.
Comes the hour, came Khristian Smith. Later, it was R.J. Mahurin. And then, on ISU's last possession, who else but Jake Odum?
All three played a role in a 66-65 win for ISU.
VIDEO: Indiana State gets 1,400th win in school history, Odum tops 1,000 career points in rout of No. 16 Creighton
The realistic hope for Indiana State's men's basketball team going into its game against No. 16 Creighton was to get a win — by whatever method or whatever margin necessary — and get itself back into the Missouri Valley Conference race.
VIDEO: ISU knocks off No. 15 Wichita State
After a nonconference season in which unfancied Indiana State defeated Miami and Mississippi, many observers stood on the sideline waiting for the Sycamores to get a similar victory in Missouri Valley Conference play before they saw fit to declare them a legitimate MVC title threat.
The wait is over.
VIDEO: Sycamores' aggressive rebounding plays big part in pulling away from SIU
Indiana State's M-and-M combination continued to carry the Sycamores' women's basketball team Thursday night in Hulman Center.
The duo of Anna Munn and Racheal Mahan combined for 30 points, helping ISU improve to 11-5 overall and 3-2 in the Missouri Valley Conference with a 72-57 victory against Southern Illinois.
VIDEO: Workmanlike Sycamores drop Bradley 68-53
The intricacies of help defense aren't going to show up on any highlight shows.
But far as Indiana State's men's basketball team is concerned, help defense is as pretty as any breakaway dunk or a crowd-pleasing blocked shot.
VIDEOS: ISU's Odum breaks Miami in OT
Indiana State's men's basketball team never put its hammer away against Miami in the Hawaiian Airlines Diamond Head Classic on Tuesday.
The Sycamores kept pounding at the rock. Figuratively, yes. But literally too as ISU's faced an imposing Hurricanes' front line.
The rock cracked in the last minute. And it broke in overtime.
Jake Odum converted a leaner in the lane with 0.8 left as ISU defeated Miami 57-55 in overtime to take third place in the Diamond Head Classic.

As parents we strive to teach our children all the right lessons. I can't even begin to count how many times over the course of my son's toddler years I spoke the words, "Make sure you share your toys, keep your hands to yourself and, of course, be nice to your friends."
Eventually, kids get older and the lessons become bigger and more important. One of the most difficult lessons is often teaching our children to be charitable and generous as they grow up. I'm a firm believer that kids learn from experience and, for many children, it's simply hard to understand why others need their help.
As we all know moms love to share ideas and, when I asked some friends their strategies for teaching children to be generous, their lessons were amazing.
First and foremost on the list of ideas is a simple one. By going through old toys and books and donating them to a variety of worthy causes children learn that, simply by giving up items that they no longer use, they can improve another child's life.
On that same note, outgrown clothes, especially winter gear such as hats, coats and gloves, are easily donated. By dropping items off at a shelter or charitable organization kids learn that, without help, many children would suffer tremendously during the colder months.
Even, as one mom pointed out, items like stuffed animals can often be donated to local police and sheriffs' departments to help calm young children down in emergency situations.
In many cases, however, it is volunteering time and working directly with others that can help children learn to be charitable and kind.
From volunteering at a soup kitchen or food pantry to coaching youth sports or even spending time with patients at a nursing home there are plenty of places where kids can help others and, at the same time, learn from the experience. As one mom pointed out, her teens have learned more about life from volunteering than anywhere else.
The holiday season can create a number of opportunities for children to help others. As many moms pointed out they use Christmas as a chance to "adopt" local families through various organizations and participate in programs like Angel and Giving Trees. Some choose to purchase items which are then shipped directly to needy families through a variety of charities.
That doesn't mean, however, that the holidays are the only time to care for others. As one mom mentioned, keeping a "donation" jar for loose change throughout the year proves to kids that small donations matter and pennies can eventually add up to something big. Her twins are only six and as she explained, "They really do get it."
Perhaps the most important lessons in generosity are those that are taught by example. As one mom pointed out, "Kids need to see their parents being charitable and offering time to volunteer, whether it is making a meal for a new mom, collecting food for the local food pantry or offering to drive an elderly person to the doctors."
Not all lessons need to be huge. Often, something as simple as holding a door open or helping someone reach the top shelf in the grocery store can make all the difference in the world. Let's face it, what is more fulfilling than helping someone out and getting a smile and a thank you in return?
Reality is that generosity is contagious and the more kids do and experience the more likely they are to want to continue giving back and helping others.

Senate Bill Introduced to Restore Rights of Injured Servicemembers
U.S. Army Colonel harmed by medical negligence to file case today, but recourse unlikely without Carmelo Rodriguez Military Medical Accountability Act
Washington, DC—The legal rights of servicemembers injured by medical negligence would be restored under legislation introduced yesterday in the U.S. Senate.
A 1950 U.S. Supreme Court ruling in Feres v. United States prevents servicemembers on active duty from holding the government accountable for non-combat related injuries. This decision strips military families of their right to seek redress through our civil justice system. The Carmelo Rodriguez Military Medical Accountability Act (S. 1347 / H.R. 1478), sponsored by Sen. Charles Schumer (D-NY) and Rep. Maurice Hinchey (D-NY), would offer servicemembers injured by medical negligence the same protections currently provided to veterans.
"Members of the armed forces have made countless sacrifices to defend our country, and at the very least, deserve some legal protections when injured by medical negligence," said Les Weisbrod, President of American Association for Justice. "The Carmelo Rodriguez Military Medical Accountability Act will correct the unfair double standard that treats our nation's military families as second-class citizens."
The bill would help service members like Colonel Adele Connell of Stansbury, Utah, who has served in the U.S. Army for more than 32 years and underwent breast cancer surgery at Walter Reed Army Medical in December 2008. Col. Connell was diagnosed with breast cancer in her left breast in November 2008. Because of the risk of future breast cancer, the pre-op plan was to perform a therapeutic mastectomy (surgical removal of the breast) on the left breast and a prophylactic (preventative) mastectomy on the right, with sentinel lymph node biopsies on both sides (a diagnostic procedure involving the removal of a single lymph node on each side to determine whether the breast cancer had spread from the primary tumor).
The Walter Reed medical records show the attending surgeon (a civilian who is a former Army Colonel), along with other Army surgeons, removed the lymph nodes from the wrong side of the Colonel's body. The Operative Report reveals that the surgeons learned of their mistake only when they spoke with the patient's daughter after the mastectomies had been carried out. The "wrong- sided" surgery has left Col. Connell with lymphedema, which is characterized by swelling and constant tingling, burning, and sharp pains in her right arm. She also suffers from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and has experienced nightmares about the surgery almost daily.
Col. Connell's attorney is expected to file a civil complaint today under the Federal Tort Claims Act in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. The Army has made clear that it intends to rely upon the Feres doctrine to deny her relief and has already denied the administrative claim filed with the U.S. Army Claims Service.
"The Feres doctrine does not help or support our Soldiers or our military families. To ask us to fight and die for freedom and then take away our right to ask questions, get records, face those who wrong us, and get help for our families to support us once we are disabled by the military ― is a disgrace," said Col. Connell in a letter to the House Judiciary Committee.
Col. Connell and her attorney, Dean Swartz of Swartz & Reed, LLP in Washington, DC, are available to speak about the Feres doctrine and how this bill will help her obtain legal recourse. Please contact Ray De Lorenzi at AAJ for more information.

Many school districts begin the new year this week.
Muskogee returns to classes Thursday, and Fort Gibson begins school Friday.
School is the unofficial end of summer.
Here are a few reminders for returning students of all ages:
• Education is important to your future. You may not see it now, but you need a quality education to achieve your goals.
• You must actively participate. Students who pay attention and do the work will have the most success.
• Be kind to one another. Every person you meet in school is a person. They deserve to be treated with the same kindness and respect as everyone else.
Here are a few reminders for the parents and guardians of returning students:
• Children will put an effort into things that parents show are important. Parents should help children with their homework.
• Take an active interest. Parents should pay attention to their children's education. Read to your younger children, too.
Here's a reminder to the rest of us:
• Be careful. Traffic patterns will change. More cars will be on the roads at the start and end of school days. Obey traffic laws, especially around school buses. There will be some children walking to school.
A good education is the great equalizer.
Students need a strong foundation today to succeed tomorrow.
Here's hoping everyone has a safe and productive year.

Fleur de Sel
Anyone out there knowledgeable about brands of fleur de sel that are available retail? I've gotten the Gilles HERVY fleur de sel du pays Guerandais, and it was okay, but not nearly as good as a locally packaged fleur de sel that I had picked up on a trip to Camargue a few years ago. Any recommendations would be appreciated.
Not French, but English, Maldon - flaky (as opposed to small rocky crystals that need to be ground) - imparts wonderful texture & taste. I'm so addicted I carry a bag of it in my purse everywhere I go. And get really upset when I forget it at $8 a bag! Wonderful folded into soft sweet butter & re-chilled then slathered on the best bread you can find... Have seen it elsewhere in unusual places (ie. Sendick's in Milwaukee - I live in Orange County, CA) for $5.99.

Rectified? Yes. Free? No. Innocent? We're Not Sure
A long-time prisoner's sentence is overturned on the Sundance Channel's "Rectify."
What's it like to re-enter into a community that sent you to death row where you spent two decades for a crime you may not have done? "Rectify" is a haunting meditation on just that. The six-part series is the Sundance Channel's first wholly-owned scripted drama, and marks its foray into the leagues of HBO, Showtime and AMC.
[READ: Finding Virtue in 'VICE']
"Rectify" starts with Daniel Holden's (Aden Young) release, after 19 years in a sterile jail cell staring down the death penalty. His conviction for raping and murdering his teenage girlfriend has been thrown out over faulty DNA evidence, due to the heroic efforts of his sister Amantha (Abigail Spencer) and a lawyer (Luke Kirby) from an Innocence Project-like group. Though free for the moment, Daniel's fate is still in question, as the prosecutor of his original (Michael O'Neill) case is now an established politician, ready to chase Daniel right back into prison.
He also finds himself at odds with a community, a small Georgia town, many of whom are still convinced Daniel is guilty. Even reconnecting to his family poses a problem for Daniel. While in jail, his father has died, and his mother (J. Smith-Cameron) has remarried, making half of his family — his step father, two brothers and step-sister-in-law — strangers. Dan's younger step-brother (Jake Austin Walker) is a reminder of the teenager Dan was before entering jail. His older step-brother (Clayne Crawford ) doubts his innocence, to the protests of his sympathetic wife (Adelaide Clemens).
And you might too. The show – or at least its early episodes – does not make clear whether he did commit the crime, the graphic details of which are leaked only slowly. The uncertainty hangs like a cloud, as Daniel's community grapples with whether it sent an innocent man to death or has just released a guilty man to freedom.
But even while withholding the answer to its ultimate question, there is plenty for "Rectify" to explore.
As much as it looks at Daniel's adjustment to the world he hasn't known in 19 years, "Rectify" is a mediation on his family's adjustment to him. His very presence — not to mention the threat of him being prosecuted again — exposes cracks in their relationships with one another, and even puts a strain on Amantha, Dan's most ardent ally.
"She has devoted her whole life to that, and now that he is out there is an entire shift in her purpose," says Young, who plays the role of Daniel. And despite her efforts to prove otherwise, even she cannot be sure of his innocence. "Family could be the last people who know your secrets," says Young.
The people around Daniel are plainly rattled by his release, but Daniel's internal journey is more guarded. "Rectify" moves slow – slow even for a so-called "prestige drama" – each hour-long episode essentially covers a day in Daniel's post-jail life. But watching him open up and adjust to world around him is like watching a flower bloom. Some moments are spark with joy, as when he lays in the middle of a baseball field. Others are tinged with dark humor, as he tinkers with an iPod for the first time. But many are underlined with agony, as — the threat of his re-incarceration aside — even freedom from prison doesn't guarantee Dan freedom from the memory of it, or the memory of crime that put him there. "He is guilty of that burden," says Young, no matter if he is a innocent man robbed of much of his life, or a monster now on the loose.
Creator Ray McKinnon offered to tell Young the true verdict on his character, but Young turned it down. "I felt in some ways it would be too heartbreaking."
"Rectify" premieres Monday at 10 p.m. on the Sundance Channel.

News Article
Guillermo del Toro's eagerly-awaited Pacific Rim is still months away from its July 12th theatrical premiere - we haven't even seen a proper trailer yet. Yet Legendary Pictures is already prepping a sequel.
Pacific Rim has been a top-secret project for years, but with the giant monsters vs. giant robots plot, it is no surprise that it is being positioned as a tentpole picture. But just because it is a cool concept with an amazing director at the helm doesn't mean that it will be a franchise-worthy property (although let's be honest: it has a far better chance than most.) Travis Beacham, who wrote the initial Pacific Rim treatment based on his own spec script, is working on the sequel, which del Toro will be co-scripting. It is too early to tell if del Toro will return to direct a sequel, as he has enough projects in the works to last several lifetimes. Among these are a pilot for The Strain for FX, based off a novel series co-written with Chuck Hogan; and Crimson Peak, a haunted house film that won't even go into production until 2014.

SearchLog component for Joomla 1.5 is very sucessfull solution for maintaining and presenting radio amateur logs on web sites. Number of SearchLog implementations is growing and here you can look on some examples. Now new maintenance release is available with :* reworked filtering code on Log Management and Extended Log Administration pages (getting also in account visitor's callsigns e.g. EA6/OM1VA etc.)* code clean-up for administration pages
Download for SearchLog version 3.1.1 you can find here.
New generation (3.x) of SearchLog component for Joomla is working very stable on different ham radio sites with success. Last development was oriented mainly to improvement of administrator tasks during log uploads and management. Now here is available 3.1 version of the component with following new features :
Maintenance changes :
Based on note of Jari(OH8LQ - http://www.oh8lq.com/) which is preparing new Joomla ham web site here is upgraded version of SearchLog - 3.0.3. It is maintenance version with small changes related to audio files presentation on the site :
Only when you are using audio files presentation with SearchLog component the upgrade is needed. New component version you can find on SearchLog download page.
Deployed SearchLog component (new version 3.0) you can see not only on my own server but also on following selected radio amateur websites :
AMRS Members Logs Search (large multi-log operation of Austrian Military Radio Society with more as 230 logs)
SM0IMJ Station Logs
FB Sig Contest Team Logs
K5GO Contest Logs
Logs of the Oceania DX Group (VK, YJ)
Log Search for OH8A, OH8L, OF8L, OG8L and OH8LQ stations (including many audio files)
A.R.I. Sezione "Basso Lazio" (IQØFM DX Team) Contest Logs
Mediterraneo Dx Club (Cosenza, Italy)
Log Search PA7JWC
WD5WR Station Log
After months of designing, coding and testing the desired target was met. New generation of SearchLog Joomla component, used for presentation of Amateur Radio logs on the web sites, is now available on Download page. Starting from first encouragement by Kevin N5DX, continued with very cordial supportive activities of Hans SMØIMJ, pre-release testing by Ton PA1CC and John IW6ATQ it was possible to prepare web log with some sophisticated features. Thanks all for their commitment.
In SearchLog, ver.2.x it was possible to include following data items : contact callsign, band, transmission mode and status of confirming of QSO via QSL card (none as blank, sent, received, confirmed on both sides). In this version of SearchLog was used compressing method for store and display of QSO contacts. Duplicate contacts between same station call and callsign were "compressed" to only one record in database.
New SearchLog ver.3.x allows to use described operation type (here named as Basic) but also storing the QSO data one-to-one into database with possibility to assign data to specific activities (contests, expeditions, special occassions, etc.) - Extended type of operation. Using both types of operation supports easy migration from SearchLog ver.2.x as well as it allows in Basic type saving the database size and processing time when this type of QSO presentation is evaluated as sufficient (mostly for award hunters). In SearchLog ver.3.x is fully reengineered against older versions in administration part as well as frontend where new features covers partial search, result pagination, column sorting and inclusion of QSO audio files.
Operation of the new SearchLog you can see on my Page (in Basic mode) and frontend in Extended mode is shown here :
Some years ago I found Joomla Content Management System (CMS) - fascinating open-source world-wide project as very good and solid basis for creating and maintaining of radio amateur web sites. I am very glad that number of friends, clubs and organisations utilize the power of Joomla CMS. Last time I recognized new fresh impressive pages of OM9OT Old-Timers Club SARA Web Site or OK2IEN Web Pages. For more interesting examples see my list of Selected Joomla Ham Web Sites .

By keeping Michael Carter-Williams in Philadelphia on Draft night, Sam Hinkie and the Sixers showed their faith in the Rookie of the Year as a franchise cornerstone. For now...
As he displayed down the stretch in Boston on Friday, Michael Carter-Williams has played with greater confidence and more offensive swagger during the home stretch of his first NBA season.
No, seriously, the Sixers GM talked to us. Like, answered our questions and everything. Read!
How many on the LB staff think MCW will be the Sixers' franchise point guard? At the very least, it's something meaningful to watch for this season.
The scouting report that will help Sixers fans keep tabs on what exactly their young players need to improve on.
The Sixers are putting a lot of their eggs in the basket marked "Michael Carter Williams Develops A Jumpshot." Hopefully it pays off.
Two very high-upside players the Sixers come away with were also teammates back in the day. This is the best draft ever.

With both Derek Anderson and Max Hall struggling more often than not so far this season, a big buzz is already brewing in the desert regarding the likelihood that the Cardinals will seriously scour the free-agent market for starting-caliber QB help for a second straight offseason. "There's no question," said one team insider. But as far as the team seriously looking into two of the bigger-name QBs expected to be available after the season — Donovan McNabb and Michael Vick — we hear there's a good chance that won't happen. "They've had their chances to go after McNabb before, but the (coaching) staff wasn't big on him at all," the insider said. "I don't see Vick in the picture, either. When (head coach Ken) Whisenhunt was in Atlanta (interviewing for the Falcons' head-coaching job in January 2007), when they were trying to decide between Matt Schaub and Vick, he liked Schaub a lot better. I don't know much about the other alternatives, but they have to do something."
