You exercise your body to stay physically in shape, so why shouldn't you exercise your brain to stay mentally fit? With these daily exercises you will learn how to flex your mind, improve your creativity and boost your memory. As with any exercise, repetition is necessary for you to see improvement, so pick your favorite exercises from our daily suggestions and repeat them as desired. Try to do some mentalrobics every single day!
Motivation is the feeling that causes us to perform actions. Hunger motivates us to eat, boredom motivates us to play and loneliness motivates us to make friends. Without motivation of some sort, we wouldn't accomplish much.
Motivation can be described as either direct or indirect. Direct motivation is like hunger. The action that you perform (eating) directly satisfies the need (hunger). Indirect motivation is a little more complicated because there is something in between the action and the fulfilled need. For example, money may be an indirect motivation to work hard. Money by itself is useless unless you spend it on something, like your rent or mortgage. Having a place to live is the motivation to work hard and money sits in the middle as an indirect motivator.
Motivation can also be described in terms of intrinsic or extrinsic motivation. Intrinsic motivation is something that you do for no other reason than your own enjoyment. Reading a book or having a hobby are good examples. Extrinsic motivation uses rewards, such as money, to encourage you to do something that you may not want to do on your own. A combination of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation can be a powerful force. If you enjoy what you are doing and get rewarded for it, you are certainly going to keep doing it!
Intrinsic motivation and creativity are closely interrelated. If you don't enjoy what you are doing, your mind will not be in the right state to think creatively. Finding ways to turn dull tasks into interesting activities is an important skill to learn if you want to be creative in everything that you do. Our Mentalrobics activities can help you learn how to do this.
A verbal is a verb that is used as a noun, adjective or adverb. For example, the verb sing can be turned into a noun by adding -ing as in, "People enjoy my singing". There are three types of verbals.
We have just seen this type of verbal. These are constructed by adding -ing to a verb to turn it into a noun. Here are some more examples:
"I went fishing."
"I love reading what you write"
A participle is a verb that is used as an adjective. A present participle always ends in -ing but a past participle can have different endings (-ed, -en, -d, -t, -n). Here are a few examples:
"The crying baby was hungry."
"Bob crawled away from the broken toy."
An infinitive is an unconjugated verb with the word "to" in front of it. These can be used as nouns, adjectives or adverbs. Some examples:
"I waited for the weekend to arrive."
"He wants to fly."
Have you ever walked into a room and forgotten why you walked in there? Have you ever forgotten to give someone a telephone message? Ever forgotten an errand that you needed to run? Everyone experiences absentmindedness on a regular basis. Absentmindedness is caused by the failure to pay attention to what you need to do. It is usually caused by one of three different scenarios.
1. The thing you need to do is part of a habit or routine such that it requires very little attention.
2. You are distracted by something that takes your attention away from the thing you need to do.
3. You are trying to do two things at the same time.
It is impossible to completely overcome absentmindedness, but you can take steps to reduce it, such as getting organized, keeping written notes, repeating what you need to do out loud, or using mnemonics such as the Loci System to better organize your ideas.

Secondary Nutritional Hyperparathyroidism
Clinical Signs: Anorexia, depression, ileus and constipation, cloacal prolapse, swollen compressible mandible, lethargy and inability to
support body weight, muscle fasciculations due to hypocalcemia, and rarely seizures.
Diagnostics: History and complete physical exam are extremely important. Total plasma calcium is usually normal until the terminal stages
of the disease. Ionized calcium may be more useful than total calcium. True hypocalcemia is often the cause of muscle tremors,
but hyperphosphatemia can cause neurologic signs. Radiography is useful to assess ileus, retained eggs or follicles, bone
mineralization, renomegaly (secondary renal hyperparathyroidism).
Prevention: Correct husbandry e.g. UV lighting, nutrition, heat, cage design, etc. UV-B light exposure 12-14 hours daily, unfiltered sunlight
best, Active UV heat (mercury halide) lamps and ZooMed Reptisun 5.0 fluorescent tubes are secondary options. Environmental
(vivarium) temperature at species-specific preferred optimum temperature zone.
Hypovitaminosis A
Clinical Signs: Common in herbivorous chelonians with accompanying clinical signs of chemosis, aural abscesses (manifesting as swelling on
the sides of the head), nasal and/or ocular discharge.
Diagnostics: Lesions should be biopsied for confirmation of characteristic metaplastic lesions. Treatment: Improve diet and husbandry. Use injectable vitamin A very cautiously (500-1000 iu/kg) as iatrogenic hypervitaminosis A causes
skin sloughing and moist erythematous dermatitis.

Lafayette, TN (May 2, 2009) - At round 6 of the Can-Am Grand National Cross Country Series, Yamaha's Taylor Kiser fought the deep mud of the Tennessee track and constant position changes to roar into first place after an amazing battle at the Weekend Warrior Titan GNCC in Lafayette, TN.
"I just kept telling myself to keep steady and not make any mistakes," Kiser said. "I pushed as hard as I could push. I'm so happy it's unbelievable."
After a day of constant passing and lead changes, Rockstar Makita Suzuki's Chris Borich recovered after last week's disappointment at Loretta Lynn's, where he broke a chain, to take second place, while Kiser's teammate Brandon Sommers took his second podium in a row with third place.
"I just tried to ride smooth today," Borich said. "I was pretty bummed out by the last one. This is a big confidence booster."
Heavy downpours the day before and morning of the race cleared up before the start of the day's races, but the rain still left its mark on the track and had turned the pits into a soupy mess. ATVRiders.com -backed privateer Jarrod McClure started off the race best, nabbing the $250 MotorcycleUSA.com holeshot award. From then on, every turn and hill of the race saw a new line of leaders as each picked on one of countless lines to choose from.
Can-Am's Brent Sturdivant led the first two laps, followed closely by Yamaha's Johnny Gallagher and Bill Ballance, FRE KTM's Adam McGill, Borich and Kiser. By the end of second lap, Ballance began to drop back, and Houser Racing's Bryan Cook was able to catch up to him. Sturdivant, Gallagher and McGill held the lead right before the pit stops, when McGill was able to take the lead with Sturdivant close behind. Meanwhile, Yamaha's Donnie Ockerman overtook Borich, Gallagher and Kiser to take the third place position.
Sturdivant grabbed the lead again on the third lap, and Kiser began making his move to inch up from second place, followed by McGill and Borich. Late in the race, Kiser, Borich and Sommers fought into the top three positions, and then Kiser and Borich battled wheel-to-wheel until the finish line. Kiser made the right moves late in the race to take first, followed by Borich in second and Sommers in third.
"I tried to ride smart, pick good lines and all of a sudden I realized I was in third," Sommers said.
In the XC2 Pro-Am Class, Brian Wolf took yet another first place position despite his vocal dislike of the mud.
"I think first off, I hate the mud," Wolf said. "The mud slows everything down. The fans out there though just made me smile, cheering me on, pointing out lines. I just really appreciate it."
FRE KTM's Josh Kirkland also nabbed another second place finish followed by Parker Jones who made it on the podium for the first time.
"I try to stay on the podium all year long," Kirkland said.
Dave Phillips started off the race first, nabbing the $100 Rekluse Holeshot award. Jones was dead last off the starting line and Kirkland battled his own problems in the first lap. Wolf started out in strong fashion and rode to another stellar finish.
Fourth place went to Gabe Phillips followed by Craig Bowman in fifth. Jeremy Rice came in sixth followed by Rob Hertz. Blake Kramer, Eric Wilezek and Joey Margueria filled out the top 10.
In the AM race, Warnert Can-Am's Bryan Buckhannon of the 4X4 Open Class took $100 GT Thunder Amateur Overall Award.
"It's awesome man," Buckhannon said, who took advantage of four-wheel drive in the mud. "I've been wanting to get on the podium all season long. Anytime you can get up here and win an overall is huge."
Michael Swift came in for second place overall and a win in the 4x4 Limited Class. Traci Cecco came in third overall and first in the women's class.
In the women's class, Cecco was followed by Jennifer Albright in second and Angel Atwell in third.
The 2009 Can-Am Grand National Cross Country Series continues tomorrow with bike racing from the Weekend Warrior Titan.
The Can-Am Grand National Cross Country Series continues on May 16 -17 with the Geico Mountain Ridge GNCC in Somerset, Pennsylvania. For more information on the series, and complete results from the Acerbis Loretta Lynn's GNCC, visit www.gnccracing.com

Clark caps memorable weekend by lifting Blue Raiders past Lady Toppers
All-American graduates; posts double-doubleDecember 20, 2009 · Athletic Communications
Alysha Clark scored 37 points and hauled in 16 rebounds in Sunday's 68-54 win against Western Kentucky. (Bradley Lambert)
· Cumulative Stats
· Box Score
MURFREESBORO, Tenn. - Middle Tennessee redshirt senior forward Alysha Clark completed one of her most memorable weekends, graduating Saturday and then leading the Blue Raiders on the court Sunday to a 68-54 victory over rival Western Kentucky in the Sun Belt opener for both schools inside the Murphy Center.
Clark, who earned her degree on the Murphy Center floor in electronic media journalism Saturday, returned to the same location 24 hours later and poured in 37 points and grabbed 16 rebounds in putting Middle Tennessee (5-4, 1-0 Sun Belt) on her back in the win. She finished 12-of-14 from the floor and 13-of-18 from the foul line, while hauling in 10 defensive boards in a dominate performance in her first game since collecting her eighth career, and second of the season, Sun Belt Player of the Week honor earlier in the week.
She again was the focal point of the Blue Raider attack and returned the favor by playing a solid defensive game, tying for the team lead with two blocks, while also swiping two steals. Despite picking up her fourth personal foul with nine minutes to play, the Mt. Juliet, Tenn., native stayed composed on the defensive end and did not foul out. Instead, she forced two of her opponents, Arnika Brown and Keisha Mosley, to pick up their fifth infractions to help Middle Tennessee keep the Lady Toppers at bay down the stretch.
Clark, however, did not do it alone as junior Emily Queen turned in her best performance of the campaign with a near double-double of nine points and a season-high 13 rebounds. Seven of her 13 caroms came on the offensive glass, keeping Blue Raider possessions alive for second and third chances.
Queen was matched in the scoring column by Brandi Brown, who also registered nine points and contributed a season-best six boards. Chelsia Lymon chipped in eight points and Jackie Pickel knocked down five as the only other Middle Tennessee players to score.
Pickel's first points did not come until she followed a missed layup by Lymon with a put back at 6:27 to give the Blue Raiders a 51-48 edge. Just over two minutes later, following a Brown jumper to bring Western Kentucky (5-5, 0-1 Sun Belt) within two, 52-50, Pickel hit a 3-pointer from the corner, launching MT to a 16-4 run over the final four minutes to help decide the final margin.
The Lady Toppers started the game with a 9-0 run, including five points from Dominique Duck, before Clark halted the scoreless streak with a free throw at 16:25. Mosley gave WKU its largest advantage, 13-3, on a layup with 14:46 to play in the first half.
The Blue Raiders then responded with an 8-0 spurt, trimming the gap to two, 13-11, on a Queen layup on the team's third shot of the possession with 12:15 left. Amy McNear helped push the margin back to six, 17-11, a minute later; however, Clark would score the next seven points and Brown drained a triple at 8:27 to give Middle Tennessee its first lead, 21-17.
The score would be tied two more times before the intermission. Queen hit the front end of a two-shot foul with a minute to play for a six-point cushion, the Blue Raiders' largest of the half, before Duck added a pair of jumpers, including one at the buzzer, to send the teams into the locker rooms with MT ahead, 30-28.
Middle Tennessee roared out of the break by scoring eight of the first 10 points to take a 38-30 advantage on six-straight points from Clark at 15:12. Western Kentucky did not quit and cut the deficit to three twice over the next two-and-a-half minutes, first on a Lashay Davis 3-pointer then a pair of free throws from LaTeira Owens.
Queen hit a jumper at 9:20 for a 49-41 Blue Raider lead, but Kenzie Rich drained five of the next seven Lady Topper points to pull the visitors within one, 49-48. It was at this point Pickel hit her 3-pointer to turn the momentum back to Middle Tennessee's favor and ice the third-straight victory in the series for the Blue Raiders.
Duck paced Western Kentucky with 16 points and 11 rebounds, while Brown added 10 points and 10 boards.
Middle Tennessee hit 52.0 percent of their field goals in the second half, while limiting the Lady Toppers to just 28.1 percent in the same 20 minutes.
Clark's double-double is her seventh of the season, 62nd of her career and 24th as a Blue Raider. MT also took advantage of 31 trips to the foul line as compared to just 14 for WKU.
The Blue Raiders will take a week off for the holidays and return to action at 7 p.m. Monday, December 28, when they play host to SEC foe Kentucky inside the Murphy Center. UK will be the second Southeastern Conference opponent to come to Murfreesboro this season and the third overall on this year's slate.
Middle Tennessee Postgame Quotes
Head Coach Rick Insell:
Opening statement:
The difference today was rebounding. Alysha (Clark) has been the only one to get rebounds for us most of the time, but Emily (Queen) had 13 and Brandi (Brown) had six. Forty-three rebounds is a lot for us. We did not shoot extremely well, but we went to the glass well, and that is big for us.
On rebounding from South Dakota State loss:
I was proud of our team. They came back and gutted it up, but Western is a very tough team, too. Both of us have played very tough schedules. I knew it was going to be a tough game, and so did our players.
On Western jumping out to an early lead:
We did not panic. We have had that happen before. The main thing was that AC (Alysha Clark) did not touch the ball, and AC has to touch the ball for us to win. So we started getting the ball to our All-American and she took control.
On gaining the momentum:
We felt like we had to go into Brandi Brown. She had a guard guarding her, and that is one of the things we like to take advantage of. We have a good basketball team. There are some people that are concerned about how we have played at times, but I am not concerned.
On the next game:
We have an undefeated team coming in here on the 28th who beat the heck out of Louisville today, so it does not get any easier.
On shooting threes:
All three of them were big. Jackie (Pickel) hit one from the dead corner late that was really big, and Chelsia (Lymon) is shooting the ball better.
On attendance of 3419:
That says a lot about our fans, especially since the football team is playing in a bowl in New Orleans tonight. Some of our fans were really torn about which game to go to. We even have some that have left right after the game to fly to New Orleans.
On playing well against Western:
You always want to play well against your biggest rivals, and that is what we try to do.
On Emily Queen's contributions:
When she is playing well, like she did today, she is really a beast. We sure are glad to have her back in the lineup. She got seven offensive rebounds and either got a put back or a foul on every one of them.
On playing with four fouls for the last eight minutes:
It comes from experience, knowing not to do anything stupid to foul out. I gave up some cheap baskets at the end, but me staying in the game is more important to our team than two points.
On her best performance of the year:
I was rested. I took the last three days off and I felt rested today. My leg hurt pretty bad after the South Dakota State game, but I was ready to go today. It feels good to be back and playing. I did not start, but was able to come in make some plays.
Western Kentucky Postgame Quotes
Head Coach Mary Taylor Cowles:
On today's game:
It is a tough way to open up your conference schedule, but I am confident with this crew, we can take things away from this game that will help us in the long run. What we do take away from this, we should be able to take away and use in a positive way. It is a long season. We still have 19 games left. I think this team can be really good.
On Middle Tennessee stopping Western Kentucky's comeback in the second half:
I felt like there was a lid on the basket. The first effort was there, when we would shoot from the 3-point line. I thought we had some great looks in the first half with 11 threes. But they would not go in in the second half. We cut it to one and Amy (McNear) missed that open layup and the ball would not go in. I thought our guards were good with our perimeter defense with the way we defended the three. Middle is a very good 3-point shooting team. Unfortunately, we did not have as many as Alysha had, but letting her go to the free throw line as many times as she did.
On getting Alysha Clark into foul trouble:
We have got to get smart in that situation. There were situations when we would try to go for steals and she is simply too good of a post player. She will make you pay, which she did. We have to be smarter than that when we play post defense. We have to evaluate those mistakes and get ready for Pittsburgh.
On Jackie Pickel's late 3-pointer:
I compliment her because she had been struggling throughout game not getting great looks. I think that is one of those you have to tell her good shot. She is experienced and has the confidence to take the shot and make big shots like that. Unfortunately, kids like her and (Anne Marie) Lanning and (Brandi) Brown are going to make shots like that. In the first half, Brown came down in transition and they are going to find her every time if you do not pick her up. Those are the things that are going to happen if you do not defend against them. Those are more or less easy situations to score.
Arnika Brown:
On defending Alysha Clark:
It is a tough match-up and I give all the credit to her. You would rather give up a two than a three. They go inside outside so we wanted to take away one thing, which was the three, and Alysha played a great game.
On the pace of today's game:
It was a game of runs. They would go on a run and then we would go on a run and then they got us at the end. It was just a good game overall.
Dominique Duck:
On defending Alysha Clark:
She is a physical, smart player who is tough to guard. The effort for us was there and we had her in foul trouble towards the middle of the second half, but we could not get her out of the game.

Congressional candidates sparred over tax rates, the economy and federal involvement in education at a debate hosted by Anne Arundel Community College (AACC) on Tuesday evening.
District 3 candidates incumbent Democrat John Sarbanes, Republican Eric Knowles and Libertarian Paul Drgos Jr. squared off in a debate sponsored by the Center for the Study of Local Issues (CLSI) and AACC. A future article will cover the debate between District 4 candidates Faith Loudon and Donna Edwards.
Each candidate addressed five questions ranging from handling the federal deficit to tax rates and federal loans for education.
Knowles (R-Annapolis) said lowering taxes would provide a boost to the economy and the job market. However, he said a fundamental problem with the economy is that the Federal Reserve continues to print money which causes inflation and becomes a burden on taxpayers. This was a point he returned to later in the debate.
Sarbanes (D-Towson) said the country's top earners could afford to be taxed more.
Drgos (L-Pasadena) took a hardline approach saying that the federal government can't be in the business of creating jobs, and said the country's tax code should be "thrown out" and re-examined.
The second question dealt with how the candidates envisioned a long-term plan for reducing the federal deficit.
Sarbanes said politicians shouldn't be too hasty to slow spending, or it could have consequences.
"We need to be careful about contracting our spending in this recovering economy," Sarbanes said.
Drgos used this opportunity to ask why Sarbanes was in favor of funding the F-35 fighter program, a costly tactical jet. The program has become a popular target for those seeking cuts to the Pentagon.
Sarbanes said it's a topic still being debated in Washington, but agreed that "a more careful eye" should be kept on expensive weapons projects.
Knowles underscored the importance of reinvesting in private industry. By not doing so the country was setting itself up for "a recipe for disaster," Knowles said.
All three candidates took a different approach on question three, which asked about their stances on federal loans for education.
Dgros admitted that his perspective on the issue wasn't popular, particularly while speaking at a community college.
"The federal government does not have a role in education," he said. "All that they have done is raise college tuition."
"When colleges have no reason to believe they won't get paid in the end, they have no reason to lower their tuition," he said. "If you don't supply the excessive amounts of money out there for colleges to take in, they will have to reduce their tuition for students coming in."
Sarbanes retorted that Drgos plan seemed, "interesting."
"I'm not sure that economically makes a whole lot of sense," he said.
Sarbanes reiterated a quote from the last debate, saying not giving students who have worked hard a chance for post-secondary education was a "cruel trick."
Knowles reminded the audience that two years ago he was a student at AACC, and relied on its low-cost tuition for his education. He said the government shouldn't continue down what he called a cyclical path of federally backing loans, which in turn raised tuition costs.
Knowles also took a hardline stance in the fourth question, regarding the Affordable Care Act. Knowles called the act unconstitutional, saying states should have a way to opt out.
Drgos said a piece of legislation, however complex, couldn't solve the problem of healthcare in America. He said he had a fundamental problem with the government forcing taxpayers to purchase a service.
Sarbanes said the Affordable Care Act provides real solutions to real problems facing the country's healthcare system.
This was the final public debate between the candidates. Election Day is set for Nov. 6.

On Nov. 6th you will be asked to cast your ballot on two proposed Constitutional Amendment questions. Amendment 1 reads:
"Shall the Constitution of Georgia be amended to allow state or local approval of public charter schools upon the request of local communities"
I started this blog on August 14th - the same day that the highest-ranking elected official in education in Georgia, Dr. John Barge, State School Superintendent, issued an 8-page statement of the facts with 16 attachments.
This document, which was ordered to be removed from the State DOE website, lays out all the facts in the case. Dr. Barge concludes with," I simply cannot support the charter school amendment."
Rather than rehash all my objections to this amendment, it is more appropriate to highlight Dr. Barge's reasons for asking Georgia voters to vote "NO" on Amendment 1. The 8-page document is attached as a pdf - please read it before voting.
To highlight several statements;
"I support the creation of high quality charter schools for Georgia's students...However, I cannot support the creation of a new, costly, and unnecessary state bureaucracy."
"As a conservative, I believe our state needs to be fiscally responsible, support local community control, and limit government...This amendment runs counter to all three of these critical conservative principles."
"As a conservative leader and conservative supporter of public education in Georgia I value innovation with accountability. I do not value siphoning money from our schools to support state charter schools or to create a new and unnecessary state agency."
Dr. Barge was essentially told to "shut up" by the "powers that be" who are pushing this amendment. One would think that Governor Deal and certain legislators would agree with Dr. Barge's statement, "Public education is worth protecting and supporting. My commitment has been, and continues to be, to improve public education in Georgia for all students."
It is very apparent that they don't agree with Dr. Barge. The legislation and budget cuts that we have seen in the past 8 years have not been supportive of ALL Georgia's students. Could it possibly be because there's more money in supporting the privatization of public education? Bingo.
Dr. Barge is my hero - he has a conscience. He gave voters the facts knowing that it would put him in harm's way. I am grateful and it gives me hope to see that there are elected officials that we can still count on to tell the truth.
The # 1 Reason to vote "NO" on Amendment 1 - the highest-ranking education professional in the state of Georgia cannot support this amendment.

Thread: British police find no credible evidence that British military murdered Princess Diana, her boyfriend, and their driver
British police find no credible evidence that British military murdered Princess Diana, her boyfriend, and their driverThere is "no credible evidence" to support aclaim that the British military was involved
in the deaths of Princess Diana, her boyfriend and their driver, according to London's Metropolitan Police.
The latest claim, published by Press Association, the Sunday People newspaper and other British media outlets, alleged that members of Britain's elite SAS commando unit were involved in assassinating Diana.The claim appears to have been sent first to military authorities and then to London police by the parents-in-law of a British special forces sniper after his marriage had fallen apart, according to an article on the website of the Sunday People newspaper. It did not offer a source for its reporting, but the paper indicated that the parents were questioning the integrity of the soldier, who had testified in another soldier's court-martial.Sunday People said it had seen a seven-page handwritten letter by the in-laws alleging that the soldier, whom the newspaper did not name, had boasted to his wife that the commando unit was behind the deaths.

Hidden starts when Wren Abbott, an eight year old girl and her mother are at a gas station. Wren's mother leaves the keys in the minivan so Wren can listen to music while she pays for the gas.

The Andover Townsman
---- — It's the least wonderful time of the year. The holidays are no longer even specks in the rear-view mirror. Forget about reaching spring, when the wind whips, even mud season still seems weeks away. We live surrounded by the blackening remains of sand-encrusted snow piles. Some of us could use a pick-me-up. So, below are a handful of items in this paper worthy of bringing a smile to your face.
RESPONSIBLE YOUTH: Nicholas Duda, an 11-year-old Chandler Road resident, is receiving praise this week for keeping his head and calling emergency professionals when family friend Corinne Keeler, who watches him after school, suffered serious complications suddenly as a result of a recent surgery. Keeler says, "I wouldn't be here if not for Nicholas."
Unfortunately, Nicholas has been around sickness before, when his father had a heart attack and when his mother was dealing with cancer.
"My parents have taught me to be strong when stuff like this happens and I try to do that," Nicholas told reporter Judy Wakefield.
Here's hoping there's no need for Nicholas to show his obvious inner strength for a long time. But if there is a need, if another emergency arises, we suspect he'll rise to the challenge again.
It's a good reminder for adults that the kids we worry about are capable of some pretty great and mature accomplishments.
TEAM EFFORT: There was a strong showing of Andover police present to support the official vote to make Sgt. Patrick Keefe the incoming Andover police chief.
When current Chief Brian Pattullo became chief, he had to build the department back into a team because morale was quite low, and grievances were quite high. Keefe is inheriting a much stronger, more together department, and that's good news for Andover residents who respect the law. We wish Patrick Keefe well as he prepares to assume command.
HELPING HANDS: As Andover seniors head toward their final months of school, many will compete for scholarship money. Fortunately there are many community organizations that help Andover students with the near overwhelming costs of advanced education.
On the Education page this week we note the five $2,000 scholarships offered by the Andona Society. Andona raises its cash through community events like the downtown carnival ClownTown that people enjoy anyway. In a real sense, they provide a double benefit for Andover youth. And they are not alone in doing so.
PERSONABLE TOUCH: Mary Leone, 87, has been working at what is now the Bank of America building at 23 Main St. for 65 years. She has been there to greet customers to Fleet Bank, Bank Boston, BayBank, Andover National and other banks dating back to her first job in the building in 1944. Her coworker, branch Assistant Manager Nancy Rubenstein who has worked with Leone for more than two decades, told reporter Dustin Luca that Leone keeps in touch with former coworkers and that people come into the bank looking for her.
Leone sounds like the type of woman who can help make a huge impersonal institution feel a bit more like the neighborhood establishments of old. That feeling keeps community alive and helps continue to drive people to the downtown.
Speaking of which, here's a final cheer, this one for the 22 businesses taking part in this weekend's Boutique Blowout, an organized effort to show what the downtown has to offer, while offering residents some deals. Such teamwork also will keep the downtown strong and attractive to customers, who in many cases are fellow townspeople.

The El Tesoro de la Vida Benefit Dinner directly supports our week long grief camp. The camp is held each year in August at our scenic Camp El Tesoro in Granbury, Texas. El Tesoro de la Vida provides an accepting, normalizing camp experience where children, ages 6 - 17, who share the experience of the death of a loved one, can cry, play, laugh and spend time with one another.
Last year, 109 children grieving the loss of a loved one were able to enjoy a traditional camping experience while receiving counseling from licensed therapists. Most adults have experienced loss and grief, but children do not always have the skills needed to cope with their loss effectively. El Tesoro de la Vida helps children learn these skills alongside their peers.
The evening offers guests great food and a wonderful program that will leave you moved and even more passionate about the great work done for the children at El Tesoro de la Vida Grief Camp. As the dinner has been graciously underwritten, we kindly ask that you consider making a donation to our camp scholarship fund.

TRAVERSE CITY — Barbara Ann Buelow, 74, of Traverse City, passed away Sunday, Jan. 6, 2013. Barbara was born on Oct. 3, 1938, to the late Harold and Mary (Hill) Potter, in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
She earned her bachelor's degree at Western Michigan University and began her career as a lower elementary school teacher; her career spanned over 20 years, during which time she touched many students in a meaningful way.
Barbara entered into marriage with Bruce O. Buelow on Oct. 11, 1997, in Sturgis. After retirement in 1999 they moved to Traverse City to be closer to family.
Barbara was one of Jehovah's Witnesses, associated with the Traverse City, West Congregation. As such, she spent many active years as a volunteer in the ministry, sharing with others the Bible's message of God's Kingdom.
Barbara was a talented artist and seamstress, mastering many forms of artistic media. She was also a member of the Guild of Decorative Painters.
Barbara is survived by her husband, Bruce; her children, Michelle (Josh) Hubbard, of Traverse City, Michael (Kim) Woods, of Walled Lake, Ward (Penny) Buelow, of San Francisco, Calif., and Mark (Becky) Buelow, of Kalamazoo. She was the beloved grandmother of Timothy, Andrew, Joshua, Madeleine, Courtney, Seth, Dillon, Taylor, Elliott, Jacob, Hannah and Christopher; and great-grandmother "Gigi" to 10 great-grandchildren who adored her. She is also survived by three sisters, Diane (Paul) Eckert, Saundra (Dave) Zimmerman and Suzanne (Jim) Park.
Barbara was preceded in death by her son, Stephen Woods; her parents; and her son Michael's first wife, Carrie.
An announcement regarding a memorial service will be made at a later date.
Memorial contributions may be directed to The Worldwide Work of Jehovah's Witnesses in care of The Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses, 1950 Chase Road, Traverse City, MI 49684.

Rohnert Park signs new casino revenue-sharing deal, gets $40 million more
Published: Tuesday, March 26, 2013 at 3:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, March 27, 2013 at 7:15 a.m.
Rohnert Park and the Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria have agreed to a new revenue-sharing deal worth $40 million more than one they signed in 2003. The agreement is intended to more fully address the impacts of the casino the tribe is now building.
The City Council on Tuesday unanimously approved the new agreement. Should the casino's earnings meet projections, the tribe is to pay $251 million to the city over 20 years for public safety, education, traffic improvements and other services.
"We have to hope it will be successful," Councilman Amy Ahanotu said of the 3,000-slot machine casino, projected to open late this year. "The city will also benefit."
The most significant new addition to the agreement is an annual $2,369,000 payment to the city "to mitigate potential impacts" from the casino.
The document says the city intends to use the money in part for staffing to cope with impacts on public safety and other unspecified city services.
It also says the tribe will pay $3.75 million for a new public safety building west of Highway 101; the previous deal was for $2.25 million.
Council members who long have opposed the casino lauded both the new agreement and the tribe.
"This is even better than the last one, and I thought the last one was outstanding," Vice-Mayor Joe Callinan said, referring to the 2003 agreement, which promised the city $211 million over 20 years.
"I never thought I'd say this," Mayor Pam Stafford said, "but the Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria could not have been more responsible . . . I really, really appreciate this."
Officials from the tribe were not present at Tuesday's meeting.
The impetus for renegotiating the deal was twofold, city officials said: First, the original agreement envisioned the casino being at Stony Point Road and Rohnert Park Expressway, rather than its current 66-acre site on Wilfred Avenue. Also, the new site is on land the city once planned to annex, which means it will lose tax revenue it had banked on.
The revised agreement "was going to have to be done, at the very least to amend the project site location, but along with that there were obviously other issues we needed to address," City Manager Gabe Gonzalez said.
He said that the old agreement would have been binding despite being built around a different casino site. But opponents of the project, who continue to challenge it in court, suggested the tribe had a pressing interest in renegotiating a new deal.
"A valid (agreement), which the 2003 one is not, is an essential precondition to the casino opening. It is required by the compact," said attorney Mike Healy, who filed a lawsuit to stop the project.
"If the council voted this down, it would be a huge problem for the casino," said Healy, who is also a Petaluma councilman and was not at the meeting.
The state and the Graton Rancheria last year signed an agreement, or compact, that allows the tribe to operate a Las Vegas-style casino on its reservation. But a condition of the compact stipulated the tribe and Rohnert Park have a revenue-sharing mitigation deal in place.
As part of the lawsuit, in which the Stop the Casino 101 coalition is a plaintiff, Healy argued that because the 2003 agreement described a different site, it was invalid, and therefore the tribe should not be allowed to open the casino.
The council's Tuesday action appears to render moot that piece of the lawsuit, which goes to trial Aug. 2 and also challenges the tribe's sovereignty over its 254-acre reservation.
The tribe and its Las Vegas partner, Station Casinos, have appeared to hopscotch other requirements without sanction. They started construction before the federal government approved the compact, and also before the tribe and Sonoma County reached a revenue-sharing agreement, which the compact also mandated.
Callinan cautioned that the influx of money -- the city expects a $2.66 million payment by this summer -- is to address casino impacts, not bolster Rohnert Park's overall and still-precarious fiscal condition.
"This is not for that," he said sternly.

New Castle News
A North Hill man accused of molesting a child will serve up to five years in the county jail.
Robert Thomas Kasperowski Sr., 59, of 224 E. Wallace Ave., who in June pleaded guilty to two counts of indecent assault of a child less that 13 years of age, was sentenced Thursday by Lawrence County Judge J. Craig Cox, to serve 20 months to five years in the Lawrence County jail with credit for two days served on the first plea.
On the second indecent assault plea, he was sentenced to five years probation, with credit for more than 200 days served, to run on a consecutive basis with the first sentence.
Kasperowski was initially charged with multiple counts of rape of a victim less than age 13, statutory sexual assault, involuntary sexual assault, aggravated indecent assault of a victim less than age 13, and indecent assault of a person less than 13 years of age.
In October the Sexual Offender Assessment Board, following a hearing, classified Kasperowski as a sexually violent predator.
Police said the assaults began in 2001 and continued for several years.

Last year, Conemaugh Township won the District 5 Class AA golf title in dramatic fashion, surprising Bedford with a one-stroke victory.
The Indians took all of the guesswork away on Tuesday at Down River Golf Course in Everett finishing with a 318, 26 strokes ahead of the runner-up Bisons, to claim their second straight crown. Chestnut Ridge was third with 347.
"The team as been solid all year," Indians' coach Scott Cable said. "These kids have met every challenge that they faced this season. We have met all our our goals - we successfully defended our WestPAC title, our Inter-County Conference title and now District 5 and we were undefeated at 12-0."
Individually, Township senior Austin Speigle led the field with a 75 and junior Evan Steeves finished just behind his teammate with a 77 to lead the Indians' charge.
"Austin was our No. 5 guy last year and missed out on a lot of the post-season golf so he was hungry for success," Cable said. "He is our most improved golfer this year and had a steady and solid day today.
"Evan has been our No. 1 all year. He overcame a triple bogey on the first hole and ended up with a birdie on the final hole. He had a strong performance and showed a lot of moxie and what his game is all about."
Kevin McDaniel of Bedford, Christian Yoder of Township and Nolan Pritts of North Star were tied for third with identical 78's.
Pritts was eliminated in a playoff by McDaniel and Yoder, who along with Speigle and Steeves will advance to the PIAA Regional on Oct. 16 at Tom's Run in Blairsville.
Speigle, Steeves and Yoder along with teammates Luke Varner (88) and Andrea Mori (91) will move into subregional team play on Oct. 11 at Down River against the District 6 champion.
In the girls competition on Tuesday, Everett's Logan Brallier fired an 86 and Kortney Mortimore of Bedford a 91 to advance to the regional on Oct. 16 also at Tom's Run.
"Our kids met the challenge today just the way they have all year long," Cable said. "In my 29 years of coaching this is one of the best group of kids that I've ever had."

PITTSBURG, Kan. —
Potential voters may register as Rumpelstiltskin Smith, Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach said, but if they can't produce a form of photo identification, they won't be allowed to vote.
Kobach made a stop Thursday in Pittsburg to explain the three requirements of the new Secure and Fair Elections Act as Kansas counties gear up for the August primary and the November general election. It aims to eliminate voter fraud, he said.
"We wanted to make it easy to vote in Kansas but hard to cheat," he told a crowd of elected officials, agency representatives and other residents at the meeting in the Beards-Shanks Law Enforcement Center. "I think we accomplished that."
In addition to photo identification, the law imposes tighter security for advance voting by absentee ballot and requires previously unregistered voters to provide proof of citizenship.
Kansas was the first state to combine the three requirements. The law, passed last year, went into effect in January.
Since the 2010 election, nine states have passed laws requiring voters to provide identification: Alabama, Kansas, Mississippi, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Wisconsin. Twenty-seven states already had voter ID laws on the books before 2011.
In Alabama, South Carolina and Texas, laws already required non-photo IDs; the new laws require a photo.
The U.S. Justice Department has rejected the new voter ID laws in South Carolina and Texas, and the states are suing the federal government in response. A judge in Wisconsin temporarily blocked that state's new voter ID law this spring; the state attorney general is appealing.
The voter ID requirement is not without opposition. Kobach's stop on Thursday comes on the heels of Missouri Secretary of State Robin Carnahan announcing Tuesday that a proposed constitutional amendment requiring voters to have photo IDs will not be on the ballot this year.
The Missouri Supreme Court first deemed the proposal unconstitutional in 2006, and ballot summary language used by state lawmakers was struck down earlier this spring by a trial judge who called it "insufficient and unfair." The Missouri Legislature then failed to rewrite the summary.
Republicans generally have argued that voter ID is a necessary protection against voter fraud, while Democrats have said such measures prevent elderly, poor and minority voters who may have difficulty obtaining proper ID from voting.
Kobach cited cases of people with false identities being registered to vote in Missouri and Nevada, and at least 235 documented cases of voter fraud in Kansas.
"In Wyandotte County, we knew of more than 50 cases of people's ballots being fraudulently requested by other individuals," he said.
Questions raised
During Kobach's presentation, Pittsburg resident Marcia Weeks was among a few who took issue with his assessment of voter fraud in those states, and she referenced a Joplin Globe editorial published Wednesday about the Missouri issue. She questioned whether requiring a photo ID is fair and whether it would deter people from voting.
According to figures provided by Kobach, voter turnout has been higher than average for elections in Kansas since the implementation of the law.
"One of the things that affects voter turnout is confidence that voters have that their vote is going to count, that there's not going to be any funny business," Kobach said. "That if it is a close election, and it was down to one vote, people will say, 'Yeah, it was down to one vote, but we know it was fair and square, that there's just no way to cheat.' I think that's what we all want, that the close calls are called correctly."
Several in attendance presented various hypothetical situations in which a voter might not be able to produce a Kansas driver's license.
Kobach said people who are poor are no less likely to have a driver's license, and that acceptable photo IDs also include a concealed-carry handgun license from any state; a U.S. passport; an employee badge or ID document from a city, county, state or federal office or a school; a military identification document; a student identification card from any Kansas institution of higher learning; a public assistance card issued by any city, county, state or federal office; and an Indian tribal ID.
In addition, voters older than 65 may use expired driver's licenses. Free photo IDs may be obtained from the Kansas Division of Motor Vehicles.
"We're just trying to make sure voters match up with a photo that shows who they are," Kobach said.
There are exemptions to the photo ID requirement, he noted, including those who cite religious objections to having their photos taken, people who are on the permanent advance voting list, military voters overseas who vote under the federal procedure, and elections conducted by mail.
Other requirements
The law's second stipulation, which pertains to advance ballot voter identification, stipulates that a person voting by mail must first provide a signature to request a ballot. Those signatures will be verified by counties against signatures in the state's database.
A voter requesting that the ballot be returned to a county clerk by someone else must specify that in writing on the envelope, and the person returning it must sign a statement.
Kobach cited cases in other counties in which advance ballots were never returned to clerks after being picked up from voters at nursing homes.
Advance ballot voters also may write their driver's license number on the application form, or submit a copy of any form of valid identification with it.
Pittsburg resident Cheryl Mayo noted concerns over whether the law takes into account possible reduced health capacities of a voter who might not be able to produce an accurate current signature in comparison with a previous one.
Kobach said the law allows for special arrangements to be made by county clerks to verify the signatures. Crawford County Clerk Don Pyle said someone from his office could go to the person's residence to obtain a new signature if necessary.
The law's third requirement, proof of U.S. citizenship for previously unregistered voters, will not take effect until Jan. 1, 2013. Acceptable as proof of citizenship will be a driver's license from any state, a birth certificate, a U.S. passport, naturalization documents, an American Indian tribal membership card, an adoption decree, military records, or a hospital record of birth.
Mayo asked about circumstances in which births were in hospitals that are no longer in existence, or were by home delivery. Kobach said an affidavit from a family member or other person who can vouch for the voter would suffice.
Pyle said that in coming weeks, his office will be working with other county and city offices to educate voters by including fliers in water bills and other mailed documents. He can be reached at 620-724-6115.
The state's informational website for the law is at www.gotvoterid.com, or residents may call 800-262-VOTE.
Voter registration
Kris Kobach's stop in Pittsburg was the first in an 11-city tour across Kansas that wraps up in mid-June. In Kansas, July 17 is the last day to register to vote in the primary election on Aug. 7. Oct. 16 is the last day to register to vote in the Nov. 6 general election.

THE GUN DEBATE raging now in our community tests the vitality of the oft quoted NRA slogan "Guns don't kill people. People kill people." It is true that people kill people. And it is equally true that the manner in which our society approaches mental health issues, especially among our nation's youth, needs serious rethinking. But is a terrible oversimplification to claim that guns do not kill people.
In fact, guns do kill people. And as is apparent in the wake of the Newtown, Connecticut massacre, certain types of guns – semi-automatic assault weapons in particular – are capable of killing a lot of people in a very short amount of time. Keeping that in mind, it is easy to imagine that a person who enters an elementary school brandishing a knife will be capable of killing far less children than someone in the same position who wields a semi-automatic assault rifle.
We know the consequences of our current gun regulations: the stark number of gun-related deaths in our country is proof alone that change is needed. But we will never make any measureable gains toward the comprehensive gun reform we so badly need unless gun ownership advocates acknowledge this reality: guns are not the solution to our gun problem; they in fact consume the lion's share of the problem.
Gun right's advocates, however, want to curtail the public gun debate in a manner that avoids accepting any responsibility for the role guns actually play in (not surprisingly) gun violence. For example, one picture posted in several social media outlets and which is surfing its way across the internet makes this bogus analogy: "If guns kill people then pencils misspell words, cars make people drive drunk, and spoons made Rosie O'Donnell fat."
This is a clear example of an attempt to skirt responsibility for the role guns play in gun violence with a misleading use of imagery. The comparison attempts to place the relationship guns play in gun-related deaths on equal footing with the relationship between spoons and obesity. But this attempt is not forthcoming: this type of red herring denies the reality of the situation, it tries to conceal the horror that guns inflict on our community.
That is not to say that drunk driving is not a legitimate concern. It is. And that is not to say that obesity is not a legitimate concern. It is. But just because discussions are unfolding about these issues simultaneously with our gun control debate is no reason to turn a blind eye to the thousands of preventable gun-related deaths that affect our friends, neighbors, and family members each year.
Instead of imagining utensils when thinking about the current unfolding gun debate, the images that must come to mind are the ones that actually happen; we cannot deny ourselves the reality of gun violence.
That is, we must remember the little eight-year-old girl who walks to school one winter morning thinking only about innocent things as the day's show-and-tell, only to soon be huddled beneath her desk not completely understanding why, but knowing this: she is deeply afraid and she wants her mom. We must remember the terror racing through her mind as she meets her premature death at the hand of an automatic assault weapon. And we cannot forget the parents who will later come to claim her lifeless body; the parents who will come to take her home.

How to add extra security to your Facebook account on iPhone and iPad with Code Generator
If you're worried about someone accessing your Facebook account from a different iPhone, iPad, or computer browser, you can enable a few security settings to set your mind at ease. Code Generator can give you access codes right on your iPhone and iPad so you can approve different devices and browsers as you see fit.
Here's how:
Before continuing, you'll need to make sure that Login Approvals are turned On for your Facebook account. You'll most likely need to do this via a desktop computer or the full version of the site via Safari on your iPhone or iPad. You can find Login Approvals under the Security Settings section of Facebook.
After you've done that, continue on.
- On an already authorized iPhone or iPad, launch the Facebook app.
- Tap on the Menu button in the upper left hand corner.
- Scroll all the way down and tap on Code Generator.
- Tap on Activate if you are asked.
- You'll now be given a six digit code that you can enter into the new device in order to grant it access. It will re-generate every 30 seconds so make sure you're watching for what code you need to enter.
- Now attempt to log in to the Mac, iPhone, iPad, or PC that you'd like to authorize to your Facebook account.
- You'll notice that you are asked for a code. One will be texted to your phone or you can use any code generated by Code Generator. Enter it once you have it by follow the steps we just covered above.
That's all there is to it. Code Generator is great for times you may not have cell service but can access WiFi from one of your already authorized devices. Facebook will always send you a text authorization code to whatever cell phone number you have on file but if for some reason you can't access it, Code Generator will do the trick too.
There are 9 comments. Add yours.
Wow Thank You I Diden Even Know That thank You. You Guys Are The Best
Sent from the iMore App
Very good information to have. I regularly check my privacy settings on Facebook, as I don't trust them. Anything that adds security to FB is a good thing.
Great info and thanks for sharing as usual...
The odd thing is that Code Generator can be bypassed by using the post to Facebook function in notification center. At least it has never asked me for a code when I've used that method that I remember.
How did you get your facebook icon like that?

CFB: Scherff, Davis Named to Outland Trophy Watch List
Updated: Thursday, July 10 2014, 11:51 AM CDT
IOWA CITY, Iowa -- University of Iowa football players Brandon Scherff and Carl Davis have been named to the 2014 Outland Trophy Watch List. The Football Writers Association of America (FWAA) released the watch list Thursday.
Presented annually by the FWAA, the Outland Trophy honors the nation's most outstanding interior lineman. Past award recipients include Aaron Donald (Pittsburgh), Luke Joeckel (Texas A&M), and Barrett Jones (Alabama).
Scherff, a 6-foot-5, 320-pound senior offensive lineman, started all 13 games at left tackle last year as Iowa posted an 8-5 record and competed at the 2014 Outback Bowl. The Denison, Iowa, native was the recipient of the team's Roy. J. Carver Offensive Most Valuable Player and Team Hustle awards, and recognized as second team All-America by FWAA in 2014.
Davis, a 6-foot-5, 315-pound senior defensive tackle, garnered second team All-Big Ten honors from league coaches last season following a campaign that was highlighted by a combined 42 tackles. His 2014 preseason honors include fourth-team All-America and first-team All-Big Ten by Athlon Sports, and third-team All-America and second-team All-Big Ten by Phil Steele. He is also on the Bronko Nagurski Trophy Watch List, presented to the national defensive player of the year.
Founded in 1941, the FWAA consists of the men and women across North America who cover college football for a living. The membership includes journalists, broadcasters and publicists, as well as key executives in all the areas that involve the game. The FWAA also sponsors scholarships for aspiring writers and an annual writing contest. Behind the leadership of President Kirk Bohls and Executive Director Steve Richardson and a board of veteran journalists, the FWAA continues to grow and work to help college football prosper at all levels.
