VFMC's own Assistant Professor of History and military historian Mr. Earl Catagnus was recently interviewed by the Associated Press for a news story on his insights on the recent setbacks in the Iraqi city of Al Fallujah. The story has run in newspapers across the country, like the Washington Post and Palm Beach Post, as well as across globe. #VFMAC
Valley Forge Military Academy & College is pleased to announce the appointment of Stacey R. Sauchuk, Ph.D. as the new Valley Forge Military Academy & College President, effective April 10, 2013. [Full Press Release]
Dr. Sauchuk was chosen after a national search, led by executive search firm Diversified Search. The administration is very enthusiastic about the selection of such an experienced educator and business leader. We are confident that Dr. Sauchuk's expertise will be invaluable in helping to move the institution to the next level.
Colonel Doyle, who had been serving as Interim President, will serve on at VFMA&C on an interim basis to assist in Dr. Sauchuk's transition.
Please join us in welcoming her to the Valley Forge community.
Valley Forge Military Academy & College is pleased to announce the launch of the new VFMA&C Center for College Preparedness beginning in Summer 2013.
The VFMA&C Center for College Preparedness is an academic post-graduate program designed to support recent high school graduates as they prepare for their first year at college. Our 12-month program will enable them to sharpen their study skills, learn to balance their workloads, and guide them towards transfer into their college or university of their choice.
The academic program will be individually tailored to each student who enrolls, through a combination of College, College Preparatory (high school), Advanced Placement, and Academic Skills courses, along with College placement support for those students who are seeking to insure success at college, or admission to a "reach" college or university.
"Telling a student to "just study harder" is not always the right answer for some students who are preparing to enter college after completing high school," explained Dr. Jeffrey Brown, Headmaster for Valley Forge Military Academy. "That is why we have developed a program where we will teach students how to study smarter, to be more prepared, to balance their workload, and to improve their academic performance. We can all agree that the transition from high school to college is a challenging one, but we are here to help them be more successful."
For over 85 years, Valley Forge Military Academy & College has taught tens of thousands of successful graduates to strike the right balance between their academics, athletics, extra-curricular activities, evening study time, and their day-to-day responsibilities. Valley Forge Military Academy & College is unique in that we offer both a high school and a college on the same campus in Wayne, Pennsylvania. As students improve their academics at the high school level, they will be able to begin their transition to college by earning credits for college courses, taken at Valley Forge Military College. The courses offered by our College are designed to satisfy requirements to colleges and universities across the country, and will be easily transferred upon completion with passing grades.
Valley Forge Military Academy (VFMA) is pleased to announce their recent acceptance as a member of the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association (PIAA), beginning with the upcoming 2013-14 academic year. Valley Forge Military Academy will initially compete as an independent member in District 1 with an AA classification in most sports. VFMA will participate in the following sports: cross country, basketball, baseball, football, swimming, lacrosse, soccer, wrestling, and track & field…
ESPNHS honors 18 male teen athletes who are doing remarkable things on the field, in the classroom and in their communities. Click here to read about them.
Dozens of sports programs and activities, ranging from baseball to math instruction to equestrian activities, are offered to both Day and Overnight Campers. The array of choices and the sprawling, lush campus combine to inspire and invigorate. The result? Very happy campers!
Our sports program is as diversified as our campers. There are team-oriented sports such as baseball, soccer and lacrosse, and more individually focused athletics such as tennis, archery and horsemanship. Your child has lots of choices, many ways to engage and succeed.
Your 6 to 17 year-old will embark on an extraordinary journey where they will reinforce their talents, learn new skills, try new activities, and develop new friendships that will last a lifetime.

Monday September 29, 2008
Mayor Jerry Abramson today called for volunteers to participate in the fall Brightside Community-Wide Cleanup. The cleanup, sponsored by Citi, is Saturday, Oct. 25, National Make a Difference Day.
"These twice yearly Brightside cleanups have really grown, and with the trash and litter tossed about our community by the storm, the need is greater than ever this fall," Abramson said. "We're calling on individuals and groups of all kinds to sign up, and pitch in to help cleanup our hometown."
To participate, groups and individuals need only to notify Brightside about the area they wish to clean, by visiting www.brightsideinc.org calling MetroCall 311 (or 574-5000). Individuals can also call and be matched with an established group.
Brightside will provide free t-shirts, bags and gloves to volunteer groups (T-Shirts available while supplies last). The Louisville Metro Division of Solid Waste Management will pick up filled trash bags at the end of the day.
During Brightside's spring Community-Wide Cleanup nearly 6,000 volunteers removed 32 tons of trash from Louisville's sidewalks, streets and green spaces. Already, more than 3,000 volunteers have registered for the fall cleanup and more volunteers are being added every day.
To kick off the Brightside Fall Community-Wide Cleanup, Abramson will join Metro Councilman David Tandy at Louisville Slugger Field, Oct. 11, at 9:30 a.m. The event is a celebration of Brightside volunteers and an opportunity for registered team leaders to pick-up bags, gloves and T-Shirts for their cleanup crews.
As residents begin to rake up leaves this fall, consider using paper grocery bags or paper yard waste bags instead of plastic garbage bags. Collected yard waste is used to create compost, and plastic bags don't decompose. Half of the city's compost is unusable because it contains too much plastic. Residents can use paper bags, biodegradable bags, or even put unbagged yard waste into a separate garbage can marked "yard waste" for collection. Using those alternatives creates more usable compost and saves landfill space.
Join the Brightside Team and "Take it to the Basket"
There are all kinds of things residents can do to join the city's anti-litter team. Brightside recommends the following tips to give Louisville an assist:
· Realize that cigarette butts are litter too. Place cigarette butts in an ash tray.
· Place trash in the proper receptacle -- secure paper and other items in your car so they don't blow out the window and properly seal garbage containers.
· Carry a litterbag in your vehicle or on bicycle.
· Report a litterer by calling Metro Call 311 or 574-5000. If you see drivers throw trash or cigarette butts out the window, get a license plate number and the city will send the litterer a letter warning of potential criminal penalties.
· Make your church, school or community celebration a litter-free event by contacting MetroCall 311. Brightside will provide signage and trash receptacles, and the organization simply provides volunteers.
· Recycle materials to save landfill space, energy and natural resources. Most litter is recyclable!
· When you see litter, pick it up and "Take it to the Basket!"
Coming Up: The Brightside Compost Sale will take place on Oct. 11, 18 and 25 (Saturdays), from
8 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Outer Loop Recycling and Disposal Facility, 2673 Outer Loop. Compost is $2.50 per bag or $30 per scoop. The compost is perfect for preparing your yard for fall tree plantings and grass seed. Discount coupons available online at www.Brightsideinc.org
For more information about Brightside or the Community-Wide Cleanup, contact visit www.brightsideinc.org or call Metro Call 311 (574-5000).
Brightside is uniting people in clean and green activities to beautify the city and foster community pride.

The ship was beautiful, well maintained and the crew seemed very polite and attentive. We did the early bird boarding in Galveston that went seamlessly. We were on board in no time
We did try the "Any time dining", that we were disappointed in. The first three days, were long lines to get into the dining room. After that time it seemed that most people became frustrated with the lines and chose to go to the Buffet. Another drawback was you did not get your same waiters which I felt distracted from the expected cruising experience.
Both kids (ages 11 and 15) once they began interacting in Camp Carnival and the Teen Only Club, Had the time of their lives. In fact while on the ship, we hardly saw them.
Over all the family had a great time on the ship and are eager to book again with Carnival.
As a side note, when its just the wife and I traveling, We prefer the Royal Caribbean Cruise line. Its a little more expensive, but worth it. When we travel with the children, We use Carnival. The cost difference helps to off set the additional two tickets.

The Honda Racing F1 Team enjoyed its best qualifying performance of the year at the Bahrain International Circuit today. Jenson Button achieved his target of a top 10 grid slot when he posted the 9th fastest lap, while his team-mate Rubens Barrichello will start tomorrow's 57-lap Bahrain Grand Prix from 12th position.
Jenson completed two runs in Q1, in which his second lap - 1:32.793s - was 0.8s quicker than his first effort and placed him an impressive 5th place overall. Rubens also completed two runs and his best lap, 1:32.944s, placed him in 9th position.
The track conditions improved throughout qualifying, which resulted in both drivers improving their lap times in Q2. Jenson's best lap, 1:32.362s, was his fastest of the weekend so far and placed him 10th, while Rubens was just 0.2s behind.
Saturday Practice: P16 1:33.600
Qualifying 1: P5 1:32.793
Qualifying 2: P10 1:32.362
Qualifying 3: P9 1:35.057
Q. You must be pleased with your qualifying performance? Did you maximise the current performance of the RA108?
A. "I'm very pleased with our qualifying session today. To make it through to Q3 and be lining up on the clean side of the grid tomorrow in P9 is very satisfying for myself and the team. After struggling a little this morning, we were able to resolve the issues before qualifying and the car felt good this afternoon. We can have a strong race from here so I'm excited about the prospects for tomorrow."
Q. How have you been able to improve the car during the weekend?
A. "We haven't made any significant changes to the car since the first two races so really we are just working hard to optimise the current package. The car is still quite new to us as we only had the new aero package just before the first race of the season, so I'm happy with how this season is progressing. We're moving forward with each race and I'm confident that this will also be the case in Barcelona when our next upgrades arrive."
Saturday Practice: P14 1:33.551
Qualifying 1: P9 1:32.994
Qualifying 2: P12 1:32.508
Qualifying 3: -
Q. How would you sum up your qualifying session today?
A. "I'm quite happy with qualifying today, particularly as we made a lot of improvements to the car since yesterday, so it was a very good job from our engineers overnight. Unfortunately we had a gearbox issue which interfered with my lap during Q2. Without that, I am confident that we could have had a place in the top ten."
Q. What are your expectations for the race tomorrow?
A. "I enjoy this track and if the car is performing well again tomorrow, then I believe that we can be challenging for points here. A small mistake around this track can cost you a lot of time so the key is to keep focused and have confidence in your braking. If we can achieve this, then I'm expecting a good race."
STEVE CLARK, Head of Race & Test Engineering
Q. Are you pleased with the qualifying performances of Jenson and Rubens?
A. "Obviously Jenson getting our first top ten qualifying of the season is very satisfying. He had no 'option' tyres left for the final session so we had no realistic chance to threaten the top half, although finishing ahead of Alonso is helpful for tomorrow. Rubens also had the pace to get to the last session but he had a gearbox problem on his last run which cost him that chance. Rubens was able to pass into Q2 with only one set of option tyres, so he has the advantage of a new set to start the race tomorrow."
Q. What kind of race can we expect to see tomorrow?
A. "The wind could play a big part and we may see the track losing grip for the start of the race. We are running relatively high downforce here so we are hoping this will play into our hands. There is plenty of runoff at this circuit so I wouldn't expect many safety car events tomorrow; there has been just one in the past. There may well be plenty of overtaking, especially as the tyres start to give up grip. We were very happy with our race set-up from Friday and Jenson's car worked well with fuel in the final qualifying session."
SUPER AGURI F1 TEAM made steady progress during Free Practice this morning and team drivers Takuma Sato and Anthony Davidson were satisfied with the work that the team had achieved on improvements overnight. Having found better balance in the SA08A's for Qualifying, the drivers pushed their machines to the limit on the dusty, slippery and demanding track this afternoon.
Saturday Practice: P21 1:34.591
Qualifying 1: P21 1:34.140
Qualifying 2: -
Qualifying 3: -
"A good day's Qualifying. I was happy with the balance of the car and I have always enjoyed the track here. Today it was good to us; we chased the car ahead closely right up until the end and there was only a few of tenths between me and Sutil. I really think that we have seen the limit of the car today, so we should all be pretty pleased."
Saturday Practice: P22 1:34.952
Qualifying 1: P22 1:35.725
Qualifying 2: -
Qualifying 3: -
"We made good progress as a result of the overnight changes and the car came together during Free Practice this morning and I was happy with the balance. During Qualifying my first run was a little bit slippery, but reasonable. I was much happier during my second run with the grip and I had a good feeling until the very last corner. Then I was touching on the outside kerb and the car ran wide and snapped quickly away from me. It is very disappointing that I could not complete Qualifying, but hopefully we will show strong pace for the race tomorrow."
GRAHAM TAYLOR, Sporting Director
"During Free Practice this morning both cars covered a good amount of work, especially for a race set-up, but we knew that we needed to work a little bit harder on the balance for Qualifying, with one of the tyres giving us some issues. In Qualifying everything was going according to plan, however, unfortunately Takuma was caught out at turn 15 and sustained some rear end damage, but Anthony did two very fine laps and we are looking forward to competing with the cars in front of us tomorrow."

When The Sum Is Equal To Its Parts
One of the best parts about the fashion industry is the ability to turn your ideas into a finished product, and being involved every step of the way. We worked very closely with esteemed designer Marsha Makins to put together a line of hats that not only look good and feel great, but tell a story of a long history in headwear. Each piece in the collection was carefully designed to embody style and fashion that perfectly blends tradition with contemporary attitude. Each part of the hat was well-thought out, and had to fit the mold of the collection we were trying to create.
We knew only the finest bodies would do, so we decided that we had to be working with only the highest quality straw that didn't require you (or us for that matter) to take out a 2nd mortgage on our homes to pay for it. Any good straw hat collection needs at least one or two Panamas in them. This hand woven straw is not only high quality, but has a smoother look and feel than most other straws. For the rest, we used some extremely light weight sisal, an agave grown in the Caribbean that yields naturally sturdy fibers. Sisal hats are so light and comfortable that you may forget you have a hat on your head (until someone compliments you on it, of course).
Makins has some of the most beautiful antique hat blocks around, able to create some true masterpieces in headwear. Using these blocks that were decades old, we were able to create some classic fedora shapes that you won't see in most neighborhood hat shops. Some you may not see ANYWHERE else, because we made the crowns and brims separately, then combined for truly one of a kind looks. These fedoras had us waxing nostalgic about a world none of us have scene in our life-time, but hope to one day get back to. A time when a man never left the house without a fedora!
We asked for vintage suiting material to make bands that reflected the style of the times. Through thousands of yards of different silks, German grosgrains, and satins (some from old suit linings), we picked out some beautifully dyed bands that were over 50 years old. The more vintage appeal we could give each fedora, the better!
The result? A grouping of fedoras that can be best described as a throwback to the classics, while at the same time, blending modern thought. Truly our most imaginative branded collection to date, our Makins Vintage Derby Collection is a prime example of our commitment to delivering radically unique fashion.

AUDIO: Chris Brown REMIXES Kanye's THERAFLU, Ticks off Rihanna (NSFW)
Thursday, May 10th, 2012
What a mess.
If you thought Chris Brown couldn't be any more of a !&#*, you were wrong.. but in your defense, you didn't know he was going to release a remix of the Kanye song 'TheraFlu' last night, and say this at the 1:12 mark:
"Don't @*!& with my old @!&#&#
Like a bad fur
Every industry !&#* did had her
Trick or treat like a pumpkin just to smash her."
That may or may not be about Rihanna, but she seems to think it is because she unfollowed him on twitter last night, and then a short time later he unfollowed her.
I'm gonna take her word for it, because I have no idea what those lyrics mean. Is he saying she would do anything to get famous or she's just a hoe? And is the pumpkin going trick or treating? SO MANY QUESTIONS

The man who murdered Traverse City teenager Carly Lewis will be resentenced again, but this time by a new judge.
In 2011, Robert Schwander was sentenced to spend 40 to 70 years in prison for Carly's murder.
His lawyers said that exceeded the sentencing guidelines.
In February, the same judge reduced the sentence by 2 years, but Schwander's attorney says it wasn't a substantial change.
The court of appeals agreed so now Schwander will be resentenced by a different judge.
It's not clear when that will happen.
To view a PDF of the Court order, click the link to the left of this story.
A Grand Traverse County Judge trimmed two years off the sentence for Robert Jensen Schwander.
A jury found Schwander guilty of second degree murder for the 2011 stabbing death of 16 year old Carly Lewis in Traverse City.
Judge Thomas power sentenced him to 40 to 70 years in prison, exceeding the minimum recommended under state guidelines.
Power failed to explain why he exceeded the guidelines and was ordered to resentence Schwander.
His minimum sentence is now 38 years.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
After enduring three years at Riverside Elementary School, where the principal is useless and the teachers are not at all concerned with challenging the children and letting them get ahead in school, LES has proven to be a breath of fresh air. The teachers care about the children and provide them with many opportunities to excel. It is amazing that two schools in Columbia County can be so different!
I can honestly say every time I take or pick my child up from school the car line is very organized and safe. I also had a bullying issue and Dr. Doolittle addressed the problem right away. I have 3 children that have attended Lewiston Elementary. In my opinion it is the best elementary school around! And now Ms. Allen is there as Assistant Principal and she is awesome as well!
the car line is extremely dangerous they have no organizational skills at all. They do not look out for the kids safety at all very disappointing. My daughter is constantly bullied and the teachers do nothing about it . My daughter can raise her hand for 15 minutes before she's called on to go pee if a child needs to go the bathroom they tell him to wait. The PE Is ran like drill sergeants they don't care about the children or about encouraging them they just want their testing scores so they can get money money money that's all the schools about is money. I will take her out this year and I will never seen her back beware beware
My son is in first grade and has Mrs. Alexander and I could not be any more thrilled for such an excellent teacher for my son. Her teaching styles are wonderful and she always communicates and keeps in contact with me if I ever have any questions or concerns. You can tell she genuinely cares for her students! The faculty are great and Lewiston is just an overall wonderful educational experience for my boy!
I give this school 1 star only because it does not allow 0 stars. Most horrible school for military families as the entire staff turns their nose up at military children. It's not the students you have to worry about bullying your kids it's the Principal. If you are not a stay at home parent who constantly participates at the school they treat your children horrible. Dr. Doolittle will tell you one thing to your face then immediately talk about you behind your back. Report Bullying and the school turns it around to make it seem as if it were your child. I do not recommend this school to anyone!
I absolutely love LES. The new assistant principal is awesome. She is very concerned about our children and their education. Dr. Doolittle is always available when I need him. I have a boy and girl that both go to LES. We have never had a problem!
Lewiston Elementary in Evans, GA is a wonderful school! This is the only Elementary school my grandsons have attended and the entire family loves it and the teachers. All the staff are so friendly, so are the lunchroom workers and they make some fantastic lunches! As a grandparent, I love to eat there with my grandson, one is attending Evans, now. I just had pizza with my youngest grandson Monday and enjoyed it so much. The salad was great! Oh, and let me comment on the cleanliness of the school, especially, the lunchroom! Thanks for everything! And I love Mrs. Huff and so does Wesley!!!! Wesley Eubanks, grandmother...Barbara Herrin
This school plays strict with parents for anything small, like paying befor/afters-school before friday every week, if not you get hit with a $10penalty, or if you lose the envelope, you need to pay $1 to get another, but yet when parents want to request certain interest such as reporting bullying, they do not obey by their own policies. There is a three strike you're out rule, where if a child is caught bullying another child three times they will make child leave the school. My daughter has been bullied several times, where the teacher was aware and never reported it to me nor the principle. I came to find out through my daughter and witnessing the same child bullying my daughter in a school event. luckily, the other child's parents where there and I was able to express my concerns, they were never notified about the incident either. Parents be very careful! They do not encourage parents to get involved in anything unless is volunteering or raising money for the school.
We just moved here and I love this school and my children love this school. The car rider pick up line is very well maintained and safe. They teachers do a great job taking care of 100 kids waiting to be picked up by car, plus they keep the bus and car riders on opposite sides of the building. Children this age are old enough to know who should be picking them up and they wouldn't even be outside waiting to be picked up unless they are a car rider. We have had excellent communication with the teachers who also informed us that our children are a little bit behind, but we are working on getting them caught up and the teachers have gone out of their way to be helpful with the process. Everyone in the office is very friendly and courteous. I can't believe anyone would rate this school lower than 4 stars, this is a wonderful school!!
I have 3 kids at Lewiston and this is our 3rd year there. Every teacher we've had has been very caring and attentive to our children. I find that the teachers are perfectly willing to let me come into the class to visit or volunteer at anytime.
My children do not attend this school and they will never step foot into it. Right now my children attend South Columbia which I love. We are in the process of buying a house which is zoned for Lewiston. After reading the comments from this website and being concerned about the lack of concern for checking ID's when someone picks up a child there, I called the school. The person I spoke with was very rude, abrupt, and noncaring. I asked what the procedure is for car riders. She said they call the child to the car. You don't have to have any type of paper in your dashboard or anything, they just trust the kids know who they're allowed to ride with. I asked the lady, so if there is someone that has been abusive to the child and is not allowed to pick up the child, such as a father, they could pull up and tell you the child's name and you would let them go with him with no questions asked? She said yes, we just have to trust the child knows who they can go with. I said so a 5 year old should be responsible for this instead of the adults at the school. She said yes and the only thing I can suggest if you don't like that is let them ride the bus. ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS!!!
My son attended Lewiston this past year for Kindergarten and it was exceptional! He learned so much and I was very happy with his education. I will agree, that there is a lack of communictaion between teacher and parents to some degree. Since there is a teacher aide in the classroom, much parent participation is not needed. However, in grades 1-5 I know they rely more on parent involvement within the classroom. I am sending my daughter this year for Kindergarten too and willl have 2 kids at Lewiston!
I feel that there is a lack of parent/teacher communication. I know of several that have considered pulling their children out and homeschooling them. When you complain to the principal, he does nothing. I think this school needs some work. The car rider line is dangerous. I have picked up friends children an the last minute (I am not even on their contact list). Other elementary schools around town have numbers they have to keep in their cars. If you don't have that in your dashboard, you can't pick up your child. Lewiston has nothing. They just rely on trust. I have picked up my children from the front office and never been checked . I don't care if they know everything about me. They should always check my ID. I have emailed the school and the board and nothing has changed.
My child currently attends Lewiston Elementary and she absolutly LOVES it. She has had some wonderful teachers the last 2 years and has really excelled. We both look forward to the next few years there. The before and afterschool program is also very well run. I have never had any problems with communication with office staff or teachers. The specials teachers (PE, Art and Music) are excellent and the music productions are very well put together and fun! Overall a Great school!
My children have attended Lewiston since 1st grade and sadly, this will be our last year. It has been absolutely wonderful. The population has skyrocketed since we've been there but the quality of the education has not suffered. My children have been blessed with wonderful and caring teachers who have prepared them not only for middle school, but for life. The administration is very approachable and hands on. The PTO has helped to purchase a lot of technology for the classrooms and I know my kids have loved using it. There are plenty of volunteer oportunities to be involved in, which I enjoyed.. We moved to this county for the school system and hand picked Lewiston. We are confident that it was the best decision for our children and our family.
We are a military family and arrived to GA 2 years ago. We have been disappointed with them since then. They lost the medical documentations we turned in for our two children to start school. It was not easy making appointments in a short period of time to get our children screened. Of course we had to go through the entire process again. Also, one of the teachers kept telling us how behind military children are. That was not something we wanted to hear. The teacher had enough nerve to mention it more than once to us. Also, when we come to our children's conferences, we want to hear about our children, NOT the teacher's children.
We moved from out of state and I chose Lewiston for the 8 rating so we tried to find a home near there. Now I'm questioning myself why?? The teacher/parent communication is horrible! I was told numerous times that the best way to reach the teacher is through their emails. Nope. Two weeks later still no response. So I started writing letters still no response to my concerns. Calling doesn't work either. Its amazing how my child who was an honor student is slipping and I can't seem to get any communication as to why. Next I will be talking to the principal to see if that changes anything. Also the parent pick up is horrible. You pull up and say your kids names and they call them to your car. Anyone can ask for your kids names and be sent to that car and they would have no idea..seriously this day and age!!
My son has been attending Lewiston for two years now, and we've been very impressed. Dr. Doolittle is a wonderful principal who really cares about his students and school. I enjoy volunteering at the school, and everyone is so appreciative. The teachers my son has had are wonderful and are always easy to reach to discuss anything. The school does focus a lot the whole year on the CRCT test, and I do wish the kids could learn more than just what they need to for a passing the test. Other than that, I love the school and I hope that we can find such a great school when we move next year.
I have been nothing but satisfied with Lewiston Elementary. I think with anything we do in life there is room for improvement however, the school is vastly improving daily. The principal and the teachers are dedicated to their profession and our children's success. Dr Doolittle has been an amazing assett to Lewiston and has impressed me greatly with his involvement and constant communication to the parents. The school has done a fantastic job keeping all parents informed of events, news, information, etc. I feel that there is no better option.
. I was very disappointed when my son started at Lewiston. I felt that his teacher had favorites. My child has always dreamed of riding the bus and I let him. Some of the teachers turned their noses up at that. The car rider line is extremely unorganized. There needs to be a better system in place. I could literally go there and tell them any childs name and they would call that child to my car. I have had my brother- in-law pick up my child from the front office and they did not ID him. I feel sorry for the working parents. I feel the school only respects those who are members of the PTO or volunteers. Some parents cannot! I think they should be treated equally! You shouldn't have to kiss butt for your child to be treated right.

Today's Front Pages Analysis
Colorado killings, politicking Oprah rate unequal Page One treatment
We thought we would check out two stories that attracted national television interest and coverage during the weekend, to see how local dailies handled the news. Neither made Page One of The Washington Post, while The New York Times teased the first one with a story inside.
In the first story, shootings at two Colorado church institutions resulted in several deaths. For the Rocky Mountain News in Denver it was a "Sabbath of sorrow" under an almost full-Page One photo of two women as they "await calls from loved ones," while The Denver Post bannered "Attacks may be linked." The story rated below-the-fold coverage with AP stories in the Greeley (Colo.) Tribune and in the Daily Camera in Boulder, Colo. However, in faraway Alaska the Anchorage Daily News localized the story with a Page One banner reporting, "Gunman kills Alaskan at Colorado youth mission."
The other story was Oprah Winfrey's campaigning for and with would-be president Barack Obama, first in Iowa and then in New Hampshire. For two of the three Iowa dailies on our Web site, the visit is strictly past tense with no Page One follow in either The Des Moines Register or the Quad-City Times in Davenport. However, The Gazette in Cedar Rapids says farewell with a lead story from New Hampshire telling all that "Oprah, Obama hit the road." And what about the pair in New Hampshire? Well, the Union Leader in Manchester gives over much of Page One to what it refers to as "The power of O," noting that "Talk show superstar wows NH," whereas The Telegraph in Nashua settles for a two-column head down below, noting, "Oprah helps fire up crowds for Obama." The Valley News in West Lebanon uses numbers: "8,500 see Obama, Winfrey in Manchester." The Conway Daily Sun in North Conway takes a Page One pass and ignores the story.
But for us the Boston Herald gets the prize for telling its readers that "Winfrey wows 'em in bid to boost whatshisname," adding for emphasis that "Thousands swoon at N.H. rally," and suggesting that you turn to page 7 for details if you really care.

Heart of the Swarm devs on multiplayer: "Nobody is close to figuring the game out yet."
StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm is still fresh off of the oozing, globular presses, and its community is still in a state of contention over the new units and the metagame still taking shape around them. A lot of the current concern is surrounding the new booster ability for Terran Medivacs, which allowed some relatively unknown players to defeat legendary Zerg players like Leenock in decisive fashion. Many have taken up the cry of "Nerf! Nerf! Nerf!" Blizzard, however, thinks the problem lies in the newness of the expansion more than the Medivac or another unit being overpowered.

Through the years, when real-world issues have visited the Sports Department, there have been some bad stories. Some of them strained the limits of believability. Others were simply sad.
Harry Agganis and Reggie Lewis died while they were in their 20s. Len Bias killed himself via cocaine intoxication before he played a game for the Celtics. The Patriots lost a Super Bowl, then revealed an in-house drug scandal. Tony Conigliaro had his career cut short by a beanball, then suffered a stroke and died at the age of 45. Rocky Marciano died in a plane crash. Ted Williams's head was separated from his body and cryogenically frozen in the hours after his death.

A metro church's mission team was ready to lend a hand in Moore, OK, but was told to stay home.
That is the message Church of the Resurrection got from Kansas and Oklahoma disaster response coordinators.
Officials don't want people to show up at the disaster site uninvited.
The site is saturated with emergency workers who need to focus on the first stage of response.
"In fact, if people were to go down there, it would add more stress to that community and you might imagine they are pretty stressed out right now and they don't need the additional people showing up and having to figure out how to use those people," said Church of Resurrection director of communications Peter Metz.
While there is not much people can actively to help right now, there will be much work in the future.
"We know that there's a lot of people that would live to go down there to Moore, OK, and help and serve, but the timing is just not right. What we need to do is give the first responders the opportunity to do their jobs," Metz said.
Church officials are recommending to people to do three things right now, if they want to.
"One, we are asking people to pray for the folks down there. Two, donate monetarily, because that is the easiest and best thing to do right now. And three, if they are interested in going down there and serving, they can register on our website and we will be sending teams down there for several years of people that will be helping to rebuild that community," Metz said.
Anyone can register to help on their website. Click here for more information.

First Trax :: Daily News
Next Winter Storm is on the Way!
Much of the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic mountains and resorts have been issued some sort of alert from the National Weather Service. In fact, a number of the resorts have been issued multiple alerts. Here in North Carolina, Appalachian Ski Mountain has 4 active alerts – A Freezing Rain Advisory until 10am this morning, a Winter Storm Warning starting at 12am on Monday and going through 7pm on Tuesday, a Wind Chill Advisory from 5pm on Monday – 3pm on Tuesday, and finally a Wind Advisory from 12am on Monday to 1pm on Tuesday. If everything plays out like THEY are predicting, we could see 1-3" of snow for most of the North Carolina resorts with possible accumulation up to 5". The western side of our mountains in Eastern Tennessee, where Ober Gatlinburg is located, is looking at 2-6" of snow.
Up in Virginia, Winterplace has 3 alerts including a Winter Storm Warning from midnight tonight to 7pm on Monday, a Wind Chill Warning from 5pm on Monday to 3pm on Tuesday, and a Wind Advisory from midnight through 1pm on Tuesday. 2-5" of snow is expected with 6-9" possible in some areas. And over in West Virginia, Snowshoe has a Wind Chill Warning from 4pm on Monday to 3pm on Tuesday along with a Winter Weather Alert from 2am-5pm on Monday. Snowshoe could see 2-4" of snow and wind chill readings as low as 50 BELOW ZERO.
We've seen pretty steady cold temps since Christmas and the resorts are taking in the natural when they can and pumping out their own snow in earnest. Given that most of the resorts already had a good base to work with, this means that they are able to open new terrain on an almost daily basis. Beech Mountain has opened the diamond Lower White Lightning; Wolf Ridge has opened the green Ridge Runner along with the blues Whistling Dixie and Powder Hill. Wintergreen has opened 5 runs including the diamonds Devils Elbow and The Gap. In West Virginia, Snowshoe has opened the first diamond at Silver Creek, Bear Claw and Timberline has added 3 more to their list.
All of this new terrain is pushing the resorts closer and closer to 100% open. Snowshoe has 52 of their 57 runs open which equates to 202 of their 251 acres (~80%) open for carving, while Winterplace is skiing and riding on 25 of their 27 runs (~93%). Wisp resort is about 78% open with 25 of their 32 runs. In Virginia, Massanutten is operating on 12 of 14 (~86%) and Wintergreen is at 80% with 20 of 25.
Down here in North Carolina, Appalachian has been open 100% for a week or so now, Beech has 12 of 15 open for 80% as is Sugar with 16 of their 20 runs. Good Ole Cataloochee is skiing on 16 out of 17 (94%). And finally not to be outdone, Ober is running at about 66% with 6 of their 9 runs open with the addition of the blue Lower Bear.
We're getting close folks. I would not be surprised if we came out of this next batch of weather with a number of the resorts operating at 100%.
As you head out today, the temps are a bit warmer than they have been in the past couple of days with a little sun possible this morning before the clouds take over for the most part. The clouds will drop a combination of rain and snow over the next 24-48 hours with rain as the starting point, generally speaking, as the highs should get into the low 40s. A wintery mix will develop tonight for most the western resorts, with Snowshoe expecting the turn to happen a bit earlier in the afternoon.
I'm loving reading the trip reports in the message boards. Looks like we had a little ad-hoc summit at Beech yesterday. I still have plans to make it to Appalachian today and tomorrow to take in the Alpine Skiing & Snowboarding North Carolina Special Olympic games.
Take care out there today everyone!

-- Randy Dotinga
TUESDAY, June 7 (HealthDay News) -- A new study suggests that
depressed people suffer from an inability to rid themselves of
negative thoughts because they can't turn their attention to other
"They basically get stuck in a mindset where they relive what happened to them over and over again," said study co-author Jutta Joormann of the University of Miami in an Association for Psychological Science news release. "Even though they think, 'Oh, it's not helpful, I should stop thinking about this, I should get on with my life,' they can't stop doing it."
The study authors gave tests designed to gauge mental
flexibility to 26 depressed people and 27 people who had never been
depressed. They looked at words on a screen for one second each and
then were told to remember them in forward or backward order. Then
they were asked to look at individual words and say where they were
in the original order.
Depressed people had a harder time with the task, especially if
the words had negative meanings like "death" or "sadness."
"The order of the words sort of gets stuck in their working memory, especially when the words are negative," Joormann said.
Those who performed the worst also tended to ruminate on their

MY CHILDREN AND I STAND IN FRONT OF A PLYWOOD BOX in Boston's Public Garden. The sculpture of Mrs. Mallard and her eight ducklings has been boarded over, so the walking path can be repaved without damaging it. Since so many days of my 2-year-old's life have been spent feeding Mrs. Mallard sticks and straddling Pack, Quack, and their siblings, he keeps asking, "Where are the ducks?" His 4-year-old sister assures him the ducks are still there. But like my son, I am unnerved by the ducks' disappearance. It has been four days since Superstorm Sandy rattled my childhood landscape; I want to be sure this touchstone for my own children is unscathed.
Born in Coney Island, I have wisps of memories of walking the boardwalk with my grandfather. We'd go past the aquarium and the Wonder Wheel and pause at the end of Steeplechase Pier, now shredded by Sandy.

We've spent some time extolling the virtues of solid state drives (they're faster and best price cialis use way less energy than the ubiquitous platter drives.) But they're expensive, and don't have the buy chinese herbal levitra capacity of hard disk drives.
Well...what did the automobile industry do when electric cars were more efficient, but not up to snuff in other ways? Hybrids!
Samsung and Microsoft are teaming up to release the first ever hard disk / solid state hybrid drive. The idea is levitra online switzerland that part of the drive can be solid state (about 1 gig), allowing for quick efficient retrieval of frequently used data (this will probably be the Windows Vista operating system and some virtual RAM), while the hard disks can be used to store massive amounts of generic form of propecia data you hardly ever use (your digital picture archive, Backstreet Boys albums or porn, depending on who you are.)
Much of the energy saving benefits of solid state drives will be maintained, while reducing the cost. And possibly even more importantly, we're on our way to computers that boot instantly.

Assembly concludes with Vestal's final sermon, approval of 2012 Task Force report
FORT WORTH, Texas – In the final session of the 2012 General Assembly, Daniel Vestal gave his final sermon as CBF executive coordinator, speaking to a crowd of 1,625 Fellowship Baptists about the Assembly's theme of "Infinitely More" and Ephesians 3:20-21.
"Isn't this really our ultimate purpose as CBF, to be a people that honors God and worships God and centers in God?" Vestal said. "So join me tonight in offering a benediction of praise to God and God alone. And as we do, we receive a blessing. It is in blessing God that we are blessed. It is in giving our heart's devotion, and our mind's attention and our will's allegiance to God that we find the deepest needs of our lives fulfilled, the deepest longings of our spirit satisfied, the deepest questions of our intellect addressed."
Vestal, who has served as CBF's Executive Coordinator since 1996, reflected on the challenges and surprises of his time leading the Fellowship, including the generosity of Baptists and relationships that have sustained his ministry in challenging times.
"I can't tell you how many times in the past 15 years I have been surprised by God," Vestal said. "About the time I thought I had things 'figured out' or thought I understood what was going on in the culture or in the Baptist family or in CBF, something would happen that would show me how little I knew. I've been surprised by the caliber of the people who continue to step forward and say, 'I want to serve God in the hard places, the remote places, the forgotten places.'"
Also Friday night, Vestal and his wife, Earlene, were honored with the announcement of the Daniel and Earlene Vestal Leadership Scholar Endowment, which will provide scholarships to outstanding seminary students at CBF partner schools. The first two recipients were presented Friday night ‒ Emily Holladay, a student at the McAfee School of Theology, and Mary Beth Gilbert Foust, a student at the Baptist Theological Seminary at Richmond.
A second offering for CBF Global Missions was received bringing the two-day total raised to $32,847.
Assembly approves budget, nominating committee report, 2012 Task Force report
In the Friday business session, the Assembly approved the 2012 Task Force report, which included an amendment added on Thursday in the business breakout. On page 8, the pull-out statement about "letters of identity" from churches was changed to read "Congregations may embrace their identity by sending a letter that outlines the details of their partnership with CBF." The Assembly approved the amendment before approving the full report in Friday's business session.
"Thank you for launching us far down the road for the next 20 years," moderator Colleen Burroughs said to the 2012 Task Force committee members. "It is a beautiful document, and we are grateful."
Moderator-elect Keith Herron spoke to the next steps in the process, saying that he hopes to have a plan for implementation in place by the October meeting of the Coordinating Council.
"The task of implementation is to construct a road to the horizon," said Herron, who is pastor of Holmeswood Baptist Church in Kansas City, Mo. "When we leave this gathering today, interim CBF executive coordinator Pat Anderson and I will gather a group of strategic thinkers and leaders to figure out how to best put this plan into action."
The Assembly also approved the 2012-2013 CBF budget of $12.4 million and the nominating committee report, which included the election of moderator-elect Bill McConnell, a Tennessee businessman.
George Mason, chair of the Executive Coordinator Search Committee, spoke to attendees about the on-going search process.
"We have called 171 pastors to have conversations with them, and it was really fruitful to hear people talk about CBF life," said Mason, pastor of Wilshire Baptist Church in Dallas, Texas. "Then, we went to partners and began to talk with them. There is such a sense that we really are cooperative Baptists. We are finding confidence that we will be able to take this next step together. The people of God in CBF are going to make this successful whoever God leads us to."
In the moderator's report, Burroughs, vice president of Passport, Inc., reflected on a year which included the announcement of Vestal's retirement, the Baptist Conference on Sexuality and Covenant and the completion of the 2012 Task Force report.
In what she called "a love letter to CBF," Burroughs talked about the Fellowship's beginning more than 20 years ago and how the organization continues to live out its founding values.
"If you keep your hands extended and hearts wide open, believing that God has something big in store for the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship, well, your children's children will be around a long, long time from now," Burroughs said. "And they will be singing the lullaby of the love ‒ sung to you from your birth – a song that will teach their children to be the kind, risk-taking, gracious presence of Jesus Christ in a world without borders. Thank you for letting me walk with you this year."
Miley instructs Coordinating Council Alumni to 'mind the gap'
More than 165 CBF Coordinating Council members and alumni gathered Friday for dinner.
Spirituality writer and columnist Jeanie Miley of Houston, Texas, gave the keynote address offering wisdom on "minding the gap" during times of transition.
"I wonder if minding the gap is the same as practicing resurrection," Miley said. "Hasn't that been what we're doing all this time, practicing resurrecting for 21 years?"
Vestal presented the CBF Coordinating Council Distinguished Alumni Award to Helen Moore-Montgomery of McKinney, Texas.
Moore-Montgomery has been a part of the Fellowship from its inception, committed to providing opportunities for lay involvement. She has been a member of both the CBF Coordinating Council and CBF Oklahoma's leadership council, and instrumental in the first Laity Luncheons at early General Assemblies.
"This was before the days of e-mail and smartphones," Vestal said, "So Helen personally invited people via countless letters ad numerous phone calls."
Clemons urges Fellowship Baptists to build a financial foundation for the future
At the annual gathering of the CBF Foundation's Fellowship Heritage Society, featured speaker Hardy Clemons challenged attendees to move beyond American consumerism, drawing a stronger tie between faith and finances.
"It all belongs to God," said Hardy, who retired from pastoral ministry in 2000 and now serves as an executive coach and counseling supervisor. "How much of it am I going to give back to God?"
Calling a 10 percent tithe not "the goal line but a kickoff" point, Clemons urged his audience to "give until it feels good … people like us can make a difference [and build] a foundation for the future that none of us will see."
Leonard receives award from Baptist Joint Committee
More than 500 people attended the Baptist Joint Committee's 22nd annual meeting Friday. At the lunch, Bill Leonard, a professor at Wake Forest School of Divinity, received the J.M. Dawson Religious Liberty Award from the Baptist Joint Committee, a CBF partner.
In his presentation, Leonard touched on points about pluralism being easy for Christians to affirm until now, cultural privilege with culture witness and rediscovering the power and energy of conscience. He stressed the importance of the BJC's principles and the need for Baptists to support the separation between church and state.
"Let's help provide religious pluralism, after all, we (Baptists) helped start it," said Leonard.
CBB honors Vestal as members receive investment overview
More than 110 Church Benefits Board members received an update on the management of their retirement funds as well as education on investing for retirement at the annual CBB luncheon. The event began with a special recognition of Vestal and his role in establishing CBB as a trusted provided of benefits to CBF churches.
"You have been a significant partner with us at the Church Benefits Board," said Chuck Moates, CBB chair, in presenting Vestal with a ceramic communion chalice. "This chalice symbolizes our shared faith in Jesus Christ and years of shared ministry together."
CBB President Gary Skeen announced that the partnership with The Standard, the provider of financial services for CBB, has expanded. As of January, The Standard has been providing life insurance and disability insurance products for CBB members, expanding coverage at better rates.
"Our partnership with The Standard has moved into a whole new era," Skeen said. "I can't be more grateful."
He also announced that the CBF 403(b) retirement plan's investment adviser, Joe Derickson, was recently ranked in the top 100 out of more than 10,000 financial advisers in the country.
Rita Taylor-Rodriguez, regional pension manager for The Standard, presented an investment education workshop on financial behaviors and retirement readiness.
"You've got one of the top ranked investment advisers in the country, and Joe along with Gary and his team can be very beneficial to you and your church," she said.

Little League playoff game bows out
TRACY — Summer vacation can officially begin for the Patterson Little League Major Division All-Star baseball team, which was eliminated from the District 67 Tournament for 11- and 12-year-olds on Tuesday, July 7.
Patterson, which won its first postseason game by defeating fellow second-season program Mountain House on July 5, ran into a formidable Tracy American team and fell 13-2.
While the team was disappointed, members were also thankful for an experience that they'll never forget.
"We just really didn't hit the ball at all today," outfielder Jared Nothstein said. "But we came out here with only nine players and did our best.
"I think that we lost to a good team."
After the loss, Patterson manager Jeff Gonzalez rounded up his team for one final postgame address.
"Everyone here should be very proud of themselves," Gonzalez said. "We are the first (Little League) team from Patterson to win a postseason game, and that is an accomplishment in itself."
Tracy struck early, capitalizing on several Patterson errors. Those defensive mishaps may have been the difference in the game, Gonzalez said.
"I really think that this was a winnable game for us," he said. "I think that if we had a couple more innings, and if we could have shored up our defense, we could be talking about an upset win."
Steven Schreppel ignited a four-run first inning for Tracy, slugging a two-run homer over the centerfield fence.
The damage could have been much worse, but Patterson centerfielder Roman Lopez made a diving snare, taking a hit from the opposition and helping pitcher Ernesto Huizar out of a bases-loaded jam.
"We know that we can play better than we did (defensively)," Lopez said. "We've gotten better, but there are still things that we need to work on."
Tracy opened the floodgates in the second, spinning four hits and a handful of Patterson errors into eight more runs.
Nothstein got Patterson on the board in the third.
After drawing a one-out walk, Nothstein scurried to second base on a Lopez sacrifice, later advancing to third on a wild pitch. The diminutive outfielder induced a rundown, barely beating the throw home for Patterson's first run.
"That's something that we've done all season," Nothstein said. "We worked on (that play) at practice. It usually works."
Tracy pitcher Gabe Chavez kept Patterson off-kilter, however, tossing 59 pitches in four innings of work and allowing just one hit.
Trailing 13-1 after three, Patterson's Aaron Gonzalez hammered a triple to right, missing a homer by about three feet.
Gonzalez proceeded to force another pickle, outrunning Chavez to the plate for Patterson's second run.
"We tried our best and we had fun," Aaron Gonzalez said. "They were just better than us today."
Patterson took solace in the newness of its program. By contrast, Tracy American is celebrating its 20th season of Little League baseball.
"This was a good start for us," Jeff Gonzalez said. "With more time and more practice, these guys are going to be a lot better."

Topic - How comfortable are portaledges?
needvert on 18 Jan 2013
Only been on one while assembling it for practice.
Unfortunately no one I know in my region owns one, so trying a night on one isn't an easy option, not to mention it's an expensive piece of climbing kit - one does not loan such things lightly.
I'm relatively slim, ~65kg, was thinking about a Metolius bombshelter double, would be used in one of three cases:
- Just me on it
- Me and 75-85kg person
- Me and 55kg person [my partner says sleeping on the ground is challenging enough, she's not convinced it would even be possible off the ground...But I think after a hard days work...]
I suspect comfort is mostly a case of fabric tension and your weight, I figure one can probably make do, stuffing lumps of clothing and sleeping mat into just the right position to align ones back and neck in a good way [back has been a bit irritable as of late, as I've mentioned around UKC!].

Understanding Labor and Delivery
I'm nervous about labor and delivery. Can you give me the nitty-gritty details about what's going to happen on the day my baby is born?
Of course you're nervous! Labor and delivery are such an unknown. And it is really difficult to completely prepare for labor. The course of labor and delivery are variable, determined by your genes (if your mom had a fast labor, yours may be faster than average), your size and the size of your baby, the position of the baby inside of you and many other factors. And the experience of labor is even more variable, depending on your tolerance of discomforts, the support you receive, the policies of your hospital, availability of anesthesia (if you want it) and even what time of day it is and if you start labor tired or fresh.
Since I can't tell you exactly what to expect, here are three pieces of advice for preparing for the big day:
- Read a lot about labor and delivery, and if possible take a childbirth preparation class. If you want natural (no epidural) childbirth, or if epidurals aren't available to you, a class that focuses on preparation for natural childbirth, like hypnobirthing or Bradley method, may be more helpful than a typical hospital-based childbirth class.
- Go for a tour of your hospital or birth center. It can help to have an image of where you will be and how things will look. They will probably show you the sort of room you will be in, and talk about routines in their birthing unit. Also be sure to ask your doctor or midwife how their practice works and who is likely to be there when you give birth.
- Plan ahead for your birth experience. A valuable asset at a birth is someone who can mother you during labor. This might be your mother, a friend or doula (a professional labor assistant). Although labor nurses can provide terrific labor support, they typically have several patients and, until the baby is about to be born, can't stay in the room with you.
- Help prepare your partner. The baby's father may be the person who knows you best, but he may have a hard time if it looks like you are suffering, and he may not be familiar enough with the process to be totally reassuring. He is probably nervous as well. A great book to help your partner get ready to help you through birth is The Birth Partner by Penny Simkin.
You can't know exactly what labor and delivery will be like, but you will get through it, and you will remember the joy of seeing your new baby for the first time.
