What Texans Should Know About Providing Their Social Security Number
What Texans Should Know About Providing Their Social Security Number by Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott According to the federal trade Commission, Texas ranks fifth in the nation for identity theft complaints. In 2011, more than 24,000 Texans were identity theft victims and as a result, lost thousands of dollars and hours of time attempting to correct their credit ratings and personal financial history. Identity theft occurs when a criminal illegally uses someone elses personal information a name, address, drivers license number, credit or debit card account number or Social Security number to commit fraud or other crimes. Fortunately, increased identity theft awareness has made Texans much more cautious about freely providing their personal information. One particularly sensitive part of a persons identity is his or her Social Security number (SSN). Many Texans call the Office of the Attorney General (OAG) to ask when and where they are required to give out their SSN. One of our most commonly received questions on this subject is, Can a private business ask for my Social Security number? Generally, the answer is yes. The law does not prohibit a business from asking for a persons SSN; however, the customer has options and does not have to provide that information. Texans are not legally required to provide their SSN to private businesses unless the transaction is one which triggers mandatory Internal Revenue Service notification. Texans should be aware, though, that businesses can refuse to provide products or services to customers who fail to provide their SSN. If a business insists that customers provide their SSN and customers feel this is not justified, customers may want to ask for a supervisor or manager to discuss the situation. If the company is unwilling to budge, Texans may want to consider taking their business elsewhere. Be aware that while federal law does not forbid a business from asking for a persons SSN, it does mandate that the business protect any numbers it collects. People who provide their SSN to a private business should familiarize themselves with the companys privacy policy. Texas law also requires that businesses safeguard their clients sensitive personal information, including names, addresses, financial information and SSNs. The OAG has charged several commercial vendors with unlawfully failing to protect such information. Many Texans also inquire about government agencies and whether they have the right to ask for a persons SSN. Federal law does compel government agencies to ask for a SSN in certain instances. For example, certain government agencies, including taxing authorities, human resource offices and departments of motor vehicles, can require a SSN as mandated by federal law. Federal law does provide protections when citizens are required to divulge their SSN. The Privacy Act of 1974 requires that all government agencies that request Social Security numbers provide a disclosure statement on the form. The statement explains whether citizens are required to provide their SSN or if it is optional. Additionally, the document details how a persons SSN will be used. The Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs in the U. S. Office of Management and Budget provides guidance and oversight regarding the Privacy Act of 1974. Interested Texans may read the Act on the U.S. Department of Justice website at www.usdoj.gov. The Privacy Act also provides that citizens cannot be denied government benefits or services if they refuse to disclose their SSN if the disclosure is not required by federal law or if the disclosure is to an agency which has been using SSNs prior to January 1975. Texans who are asked to give their SSN to a government agency but do not receive a disclosure statement may want to cite the Privacy Act and contact their U.S. congressmen or senators. Points to Remember Social Security Number You do NOT have to give your SSN to a private business. If you do give your SSN to a business, get a copy of their privacy policy. If you are required to give your SSN to a government agency, you must be provided with a disclosure statement. NEVER give out your SSN or other personal information over the phone or by email. Report ID theft to your local police department. File an ID theft complaint on FTCs website at www.ftc.gov or call (877) ID THEFT.

Impatient? Just want paleo recipes without all this word stuff? Jump to all of our paleo diet recipes below and don't say we never did anything for you. Now go make yourself something nice ;)
For those of you that are still here, Hello! – those people who already clicked away to the recipes don't know what they're missing… and you smell nicer than they do anyway ;) – Whether you're a complete noob to the paleo diet or you just want a little more than paleo diet recipes we've got some additional resources for you.
Paleo For the Noobs
If you're completely new to paleo, primal, ancestral health, the caveman diet or 'that weird diet that people run around barefoot and eat a bunch of meat' you may be asking what this is all about. The answer to the million dollar question, What is paleo?!, is in it's basic form answered with just 2 stupidly simple rules:
The Paleo 2 Step
- Eat Plants, Animals, Nuts and Seeds
- Move Frequently and Lift Heavy Things
Paleo is as easy as that. A lot of people in the media seem to think the paleo diet is all about consuming large quantities of meat, but they're unfortunately grossly misinformed. A typical paleo recipe, as you see below, consists of plants, animals, nuts and seeds – in that order. Sure, by weight meat is the largest portion of the paleo diet however a good rule of thumb is that plants, animals, nuts and seeds account for your plate coverage, in that order.
If your plate is overflowing with meat and lacking any sort of vegetation, I hate to say it, but you're missing out.
Arguably me and Marla may eat more vegetables than certain vegetarians – those who would be better labeled as merely 'non-meat eaters'. That's why you'll notice most of the paleo diet recipes on this site are heavy on the veggies. Where some restrictive diets (ergh, I hate that word) focus on food replacements and supplements, paleo is focused simply upon removing inflammation causing products and sticking to whole foods (plants, animals, nuts and seeds).
For more about the paleo diet (we prefer to call it a lifestyle) head over to Marla's popular Paleo Breakfast article where you'll find an entire "What is Paleo?" section and a sweet infographic.
If you're like me and always want more, for the most thorough deep dive into paleo check out Mark's Daily Apple and his spectacular book, The Primal Blueprint. Mark's site introduced us to his brand of paleo way back in 2008, so not only do we owe him an immense debt of gratitude, but we're fans for life.
While The Primal Blueprint is by far my #1 recommendation for anyone interested in the paleo diet, Why We Get Fat by Gary Taubes is another excellent choice. While not specifically about paleo, much of what he talks about fits perfectly into the paleo lifestyle and will quite perfectly mirror the ingredients that go into each and every one of our paleo diet recipes.
For the Paleo Veterans
You already know that grains aren't paleo and bread's been off of your radar for quite some time, but what about some other less obvious food choices, like supposed superfoods? They must all get a thumbs up and be a part of any good paleo diet recipe, right? Well… maybe.
Even after 5 years of being immersed in the paleo lifestyle, we too continue to question various foods. One big question for many people, noobs and paleo veterans alike, is Is Quinoa Paleo? Spoiler alert: it's not. But if you want to know why or check on the paleo-ness of some other foods have a look at our robust Paleo Diet Food List where we're constantly adding more foods and answers to your 'Is It Paleo?' questions.
Paleo Diet Recipes
So Paleo Porn is of course filled to the brim with paleo diet recipes (you didn't think it was actual porn did you?!). With so many paleo recipes coming out of our ears we wanted you to have an easier go at finding exactly what you want, the first time, so below you'll find a nice organized visual representation of every paleo recipe on the site.
Hope you dig it, cause we think it's pretty awesome :)

Sounds like you want the government to protect you from all risk. Hey, that sounds to me like you are pro Big Government! Almost Commie, in a way. Can't have it both ways. Either you want to Gobmint to keep its nose out of your business, or you want them to micromanage and control everything. Which is it?
I agree that dealing with illegal immigrants (from ANY country, and we have them from ALL countries) needs to be dealt with. But pretending that it will keep us safe from germs, who know no borders, well, that's just dumb. One has nothing to do with the other. While the outbreak may have started in Mexico, Patient Zero has yet to be identified. Do not forget that we are in Spring Break season. Patient Zero could well have been an American Student on vacation, who infected the Mexicans. Bet that never even crossed your mind. After all I think we all know this thread has NOTHING to do with swine flu!
It's all about risk and perception of same. You seem more than willing to pull down the entire American economy and our way of life, just to avoid some germ, which would still get into the country (germs don't know anything about borders).
Here's an irrefutable fact: Being alive carries some risk. The only way to avoid all risk is to die and be done with it.

NaBloPoMo has starting. That's National Blog Posting Month. You have to post every day for a month. Definitely not going to do that one.
NaNoWriMo has started also. I'm jumping in and trying this one, write a novel in a month. In the spirit of the thing, I fully expect it to be AWFUL and never let anyone see it, but you have to start somewhere, right? I do have aspirations of writing fiction, I always have. I made myself promise that I wouldn't write about me, about Henry, but I have the imagination of a slug. I'm really branching out and writing about a kid who's best friend gets cancer. Yah me. Sounds like a picker-upper.
NaKniSweMo is sort of ongoing. I'll never make that one either, but I'm ok with that. Knitting needs to be relaxing for me.
The title I just made up. Might be fun, though. Something about pies and exercise?

This is all totally confusing to me - what the heck are you talking about?
But the book writing is exciting - you certainly have a talent for making the written word entertaining, humerous, touching.
Good luck to you - and maybe I can catch up to your knitting pace while you spend time spinning your thoughts into words.

About Frank H. Netter MD
|Frank H. Netter MD
Photo reprinted with permission from Novartis Corporation, 2012
As a medical student, Netter drew as a means to study, producing visual representations of class notes that enabled him to understand and recall material. After graduation and a brief practice as a general surgeon, he traded his scalpel for a paintbrush and enjoyed a prolific career as a medical illustrator for pharmaceutical companies. The Ciba Collection of Medical Illustrations, a 13-volume set of Netter's work, earned a place in libraries and clinics across the country. In 1989 he published his eponymous "Atlas of Human Anatomy," which has been translated into at least 11 languages and is widely used by undergraduate medical students.
With his exceedingly rare combination of artistic talent and perspective as a physician, Netter brought his subject matter to life with stunning precision and clarity. As his acclaim grew, he found himself invited to illustrate cutting-edge medical advancements ranging from organ transplantation and joint replacement to the first artificial heart. His work not only granted unprecedented visual access to human anatomy and pathology, it was done with a striking level of empathy and humanity.
Netter's legacy transcends his life's work. A major gift from Barbara and the late Edward Netter, Frank Netter's first cousin, pays tribute to "Medicine's Michelangelo" in the naming of the Frank H. Netter MD School of Medicine at Quinnipiac University.

Taylor Farms workers help push CA bill to protect temp workers
The Teamster organizing struggle at Taylor Farms in California moved to the state capitol yesterday where workers helped push forward a bill to make companies responsible for workers hired through temp agencies.
AB 1897 passed the Committee on Labor and Employment on a party-line vote in a defeat for the 25 corporate lobbyists who tried to paint the bill as a "job killer." Lawmakers, including Republicans on the committee, highlighted Taylor Farms as a "bad apple" whose abusive labor practices make laws like AB 1897 necessary. The California Labor Federation and Teamsters from Locals 439 and 601 stood with Taylor Farms food processing workers who traveled to Sacramento to lobby in support of the legislation.
Environmental Health Coalition and San Diego Labor: 30 years of building power together
By Diane Takvorian, Environmental Health Coalition
"Why do you care about jobs, you're an environmental group?" I wish we had a dollar for every time someone said that to us.
EHC improves the health of children, families, neighborhoods and the natural environment in the San Diego/Tijuana region by confronting the unjust consequences of toxic pollution, discriminatory land use, and unsustainable energy policies. EHC's efforts focus on low-income communities of color in urbanized areas where economic and environmental justice go hand-in-hand.
Super-Sized CEO Pay Fuels Income Inequality That Hollows Out Middle Class
By Steve Smith
The next time you order a burger at the drive-thru, think about this: The CEO of the fast-food joint makes more than 543 times the worker serving your food. Put another way, for an eight-hour shift, the single mom who is working the fryer is bringing home about $72. The CEO of that company, profiting off her back, gets about $14,000 for sitting in his cushy corner office barking orders at an unfortunate assistant.
The total compensation ratio, including benefits, is even more obscene. Fast-food CEOs receive on average more than 1,000 times the compensation of their workers.
This disparity isn't the exception in the fast-food world; it's the rule according to a new report by Demos.
PayWatch: CEO Pay Hits 'Insane Level'
It's good to be a CEO, at least paywise. According to the 2014 AFL-CIO Executive PayWatch, released today, it's 331 times better to be a CEO than an average worker. PayWatch finds that the average CEO of an S&P 500 company pocketed $11.7 million in 2013, while the average worker earned $35,293. The gap between CEOs and minimum wage workers is more than twice as wide—774 times.

In Praise of Unsung Women and Their Work
By Rachele Huennekens, Capital and Main

Gov. Brown Touts Pro-Worker Accomplishments in Lively Legislative Conference Keynote
By Krista Collard
California Governor Jerry Brown was in good spirits when he took the stage at the Labor Federation-State Building and Construction Trades Council Joint Legislative Conference on St. Patrick's Day, and why shouldn't he be? Acknowledging that there's still a lot to do, Governor Brown, the keynote speaker for the annual conference's dinner, embraced the opportunity to celebrate all that's been accomplished for working families in California since he took office less than four years ago. The list is a long one. Since 2011, the Governor has signed into law an astounding 38 pro-worker bills while turning around California's economy.
Solidarity Rocks the Capital this St. Patrick's Day
By Krista Collard
This St. Patrick's Day, over 500 working men and women representing unions from around the state packed the ballroom at the Sacramento Sheraton Hotel for the annual California Labor Federation-State Building and Construction Trades Council Joint Legislative Conference. In the festive spirit of the holiday, the event kicked off with exciting speakers demonstrating that like the Irish, working people are fired up to keep fighting and will stand together to take back the American dream.
California Labor Federation leader, Art Pulaksi, welcomed the crowd and introduced Federation officer and UFCW Local 1428 president Connie Leyva, officially announcing her bid to run for California's 20th Senate District.
Paid Sick Days a Win-Win for California
By Krista Collard, California Labor Federation
Every time I start to feel under the weather, I'm reminded of the wise words of a former supervisor. During cold and flu season she would always remind us that if we're not feeling well or even just a little "off," we should stay home. She'd sweetly say, "We don't need a hero, guys. If you're sick, please don't come into the office. Stay home. Rest up."
She had been around long enough to know that it took just one person trying to work with a cold to pass it around, and before long the whole staff would be down for the count. While she genuinely cared about our health and wellbeing, any smart supervisor understands that if the entire staff is ill, productivity goes down the tubes.
Labor's Annual Legislative Conference Kicks Off Monday in Sacramento
By Steve Smith, California Labor Federation

CFT launches one-stop-shop website for "Vergara" trial
By Fred Glass
This week, the California Federation of Teachers (CFT) – one of the union interveners in "Vergara et. al. vs. The State of California et. al."– launched a new website: www.VergaraTrial.com.
The Vergara suit seeks to challenge five important California statutes that relate to teacher protections from unfair layoffs and dismissal.
The new website is a one-stop shop for information on the court case. It features updates from the stand, information on the trial's backers, pertinent research debunking the plaintiffs' claims, videos and press clips. It will be updated daily as the state and teacher advocates proceed with their witnesses.
The Education of Ted Mitchell
by Gary Cohn
The nomination of Californian Ted Mitchell to the number two position at the U.S. Department of Education is the latest indication that proponents of school privatization are continuing to gain influence over the Obama administration's education policy.
"He represents the quintessence of the privatization movement," Diane Ravitch, an education historian and former Assistant Secretary of Education under President George H.W. Bush, tells Capital & Main. "This is a signal the Obama administration is committed to moving forward aggressively with transferring public funds to private hands."

Fund Goal and Approach
The fund seeks to maximize total return, consisting of capital appreciation and current income. To pursue its goal, the fund normally will invest at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in bonds (or other instruments with similar economic characteristics). The fund's bond investments may include, but are not limited to, the following:
* bonds issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies or instrumentalities
* government and private mortgage-related securities
* corporate bonds
* municipal bonds
* bonds of foreign governments and companies (limited to up to 30% of the fund's assets in the aggregate, up to 5% in non-U.S. dollar-denominated bonds and up to 5% in emerging market bonds)
* asset-backed securities
* inflation-indexed securities
* zero coupon, pay-in-kind and step-up securities
The fund invests principally in bonds rated investment grade (i.e., Baa/BBB or higher) at the time of purchase or, if unrated, deemed of comparable quality by Dreyfus. For additional yield, the fund may invest up to 5% of its assets in fixed-income securities rated below investment grade ("high yield" or "junk" bonds) or the unrated equivalent as determined by Dreyfus.
The fund's portfolio managers buy and sell fixed-income securities based on credit quality, financial outlook and yield potential. Generally, fixed-income securities with deteriorating credit quality are potential sell candidates, while those offering higher yields are potential buy candidates.
The fund generally maintains an effective duration of one year or less. The fund does not have any restrictions on its average effective portfolio maturity or on the maturity or duration of the individual bonds the fund may purchase. Duration is an estimate of the sensitivity of the price (the value of principal) of a fixed-income security to a change in interest rates. Generally, the longer the duration, the higher the expected volatility.
The fund may, but is not required to, use derivative instruments, such as options, futures and options on futures (including those relating to securities, foreign currencies, indexes and interest rates), forward contracts, swap agreements (including interest rate and credit default swap agreements), options on swap agreements, and other credit derivatives, as a substitute for investing directly in an underlying asset, to increase returns, to manage interest rate risk, to manage the effective duration or maturity of the fund's portfolio, or as part of a hedging strategy. To the extent that the fund invests in derivative instruments with economic characteristics similar to bonds, the value of such investments will be included for purposes of the fund's 80% investment policy. A derivatives contract will obligate or entitle the fund to deliver or receive an asset or cash payment based on the change in value of one or more underlying investments, indexes, interest rates or currencies. Swap agreements can be used to transfer the interest rate or credit risk of a security without actually transferring ownership of the security or to customize exposure to particular credit. To enhance current income, the fund also may engage in a series of purchase and sale contracts or forward roll transactions in which the fund sells a mortgage-related security, for example, to a financial institution and simultaneously agrees to purchase a similar security from the institution at a later date at an agreed-upon price. The fund also may make forward commitments in which the fund agrees to buy or sell a security in the future at an agreed-upon price. Forward commitments typically involve new issues of U.S. Treasury and other government securities, which are often offered on a forward commitment or when- issued basis. The fund also may engage in short-selling, typically for hedging purposes, such as to limit exposure to a possible market decline in the value of its portfolio securities.
An investment in the fund is not a bank deposit. It is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or any other government agency. It is not a complete investment program. The fund's share price fluctuates, sometimes dramatically, which means you could lose money.
* Interest rate risk. Prices of bonds tend to move inversely with changes in interest rates. Typically, a rise in rates will adversely affect bond prices and, accordingly, the fund's share price. The longer the effective maturity and duration of the fund's fixed-income portfolio, the more the fund's share price is likely to react to interest rates. For example, the market price of a fixed-income security with a duration of three years would be expected to decline 3% if interest rates rose 1%. Conversely, the market price of the same security would be expected to increase 3% if interest rates fell 1%.
* Credit risk. Failure of an issuer to make timely interest or principal payments, or a decline or perception of a decline in the credit quality of a bond, can cause the bond's price to fall, potentially lowering the fund's share price. The lower a bond's credit rating, the greater the chance � in the rating agency's opinion - that the bond issuer will default or fail to meet its payment obligations.
* Government securities risk. Not all obligations of the U.S. government, its agencies and instrumentalities are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Treasury. Some obligations are backed only by the credit of the issuing agency or instrumentality, and in some cases there may be some risk of default by the issuer. Any guarantee by the U.S. government or its agencies or instrumentalities of a security held by the fund does not apply to the market value of such security or to shares of the fund itself. A security backed by the U.S. Treasury or the full faith and credit of the United States is guaranteed only as to the timely payment of interest and principal when held to maturity. In addition, because many types of U.S. government securities trade actively outside the United States, their prices may rise and fall as changes in global economic conditions affect the demand for these securities.
* Market risk. The market value of a security may decline due to general market conditions that are not related to the particular company, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the outlook for corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates or adverse investor sentiment generally. A security's market value also may decline because of factors that affect the particular company, such as management performance, financial leverage, and reduced demand for the company's products or services, or factors that affect the company's industry, such as labor shortages or increased production costs and competitive conditions within an industry.
* Mortgage-related securities risk. Mortgage-related securities are complex derivative instruments, subject to credit, prepayment and extension risk, and may be more volatile and less liquid, and more difficult to price accurately, than more traditional debt securities. The fund is subject to the credit risk associated with these securities, including the market's perception of the creditworthiness of the issuing federal agency, as well as the credit quality of the underlying assets. Although certain mortgage-related securities are guaranteed as to the timely payment of interest and principal by a third party (such as a U.S. government agency or instrumentality with respect to government-related mortgage- backed securities) the market prices for such securities are not guaranteed and will fluctuate. Declining interest rates may result in the prepayment of higher yielding underlying mortgages and the reinvestment of proceeds at lower interest rates can reduce the fund's potential price gain in response to falling interest rates, reduce the fund's yield or cause the fund's share price to fall (prepayment risk). Rising interest rates may result in a drop in prepayments of the underlying mortgages, which would increase the fund's sensitivity to rising interest rates and its potential for price declines (extension risk).
* Municipal securities risk. The amount of public information available about municipal securities is generally less than that for corporate equities or bonds. Special factors, such as legislative changes, and state and local economic and business developments, may adversely affect the yield and/or value of the fund's investments in municipal securities. Other factors include the general conditions of the municipal securities market, the size of the particular offering, the maturity of the obligation and the rating of the issue. Changes in economic, business or political conditions relating to a particular municipal project, municipality, or state, territory or possession of the United States in which the fund invests may have an impact on the fund's share price.
* Foreign investment risk. To the extent the fund invests in foreign securities, the fund's performance will be influenced by political, social and economic factors affecting investments in foreign issuers. Special risks associated with investments in foreign issuers include exposure to currency fluctuations, less liquidity, less developed or less efficient trading markets, lack of comprehensive company information, political and economic instability and differing auditing and legal standards. Investments denominated in foreign currencies are subject to the risk that such currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar and affect the value of these investments held by the fund. Securities of issuers located in emerging markets can be more volatile and less liquid than those of issuers in more developed economies.
* Asset-backed securities risk. General downturns in the economy could cause the value of asset-backed securities to fall. In addition, asset-backed securities present certain risks that are not presented by mortgage-backed securities. Primarily, these securities may provide the fund with a less effective security interest in the related collateral than do mortgage-backed securities. Therefore, there is the possibility that recoveries on the underlying collateral may not, in some cases, be available to support payments on these securities.
* Inflation-indexed security risk. Interest payments on inflation-indexed securities can be unpredictable and will vary as the principal and/or interest is periodically adjusted based on the rate of inflation. If the index measuring inflation falls, the interest payable on these securities will be reduced. The U.S. Treasury has guaranteed that in the event of a drop in prices, it would repay the par amount of its inflation-indexed securities. Inflation-indexed securities issued by corporations generally do not guarantee repayment of principal. Any increase in the principal amount of an inflation- indexed security will be considered taxable ordinary income, even though investors do not receive their principal until maturity. As a result, the fund may be required to make annual distributions to shareholders that exceed the cash the fund received, which may cause the fund to liquidate certain investments when it is not advantageous to do so. Also, if the principal value of an inflation-indexed security is adjusted downward due to deflation, amounts previously distributed may be characterized in some circumstances as a return of capital.
* Zero coupon, pay-in-kind and step-up securities risk. Zero coupon securities are debt securities issued or sold at a discount from their face value that do not entitle the holder to any periodic payment of interest prior to maturity or a specified redemption date (or cash payment date). Pay-in-kind securities are bonds that generally pay interest through the issuance of additional bonds. Step-up coupon bonds are debt securities that typically do not pay interest for a specified period of time and then pay interest at a series of different rates. The market prices of these securities generally are more volatile and are likely to respond to a greater degree to changes in interest rates than the market prices of securities that pay cash interest periodically having similar maturities and credit qualities. In addition, unlike bonds which pay cash interest throughout the period to maturity, the fund will realize no cash until the cash payment or maturity date unless a portion of such securities are sold and, if the issuer defaults, the fund may obtain no return at all on its investment. The Internal Revenue Code requires the holder of a zero coupon security or of certain pay-in- kind or step-up bonds to accrue income with respect to these securities prior to the receipt of cash payments. To maintain its qualification as a regulated investment company and avoid liability for Federal income tax, the fund may be required to distribute such income accrued with respect to these securities and may have to dispose of portfolio securities under disadvantageous circumstances in order to generate cash to satisfy this distribution requirement.
* Liquidity risk. When there is little or no active trading market for specific types of securities, it can become more difficult to sell the securities in a timely manner at or near their perceived value. In such a market, the value of such securities and the fund's share price may fall dramatically. Investments in foreign securities tend to have greater exposure to liquidity risk than domestic securities.
Please refer to Prospectus for additional Risk Details.
Investors should consider the investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses of the fund carefully before investing. Download a prospectus, or a summary prospectus, if available, that contains this and other information about the fund, and read it carefully before investing.

Katrina's Flight 3k will be held Sunday10:00 am | April 12, 2013
West Side Elementary's Girls on the Run will host the second "Katrina's Flight" 3k run/walk Sunday, April 14, beginning at 2 p.m.
The event was started last year in memory of Katrina Bradley, a West Side Elementary student who died from heart complications in June 2011 when she was 6 years old. The walk/run is a fundraiser for the American Heart Association.
West Side kindergarten teacher Vera Peters said the public is welcome to attend the race to participate or to watch the run/walk. The only charge to participate is a donation to the American Heart Association.
"Anyone who wants to come can do that," Peters said.
Peters said people will start gathering for the run/walk around 1:15 p.m. She said parking will not be available at the school, because streets will be closed for the event. Participants should park at Beef O'Brady's, West Side Christian Church or Immanuel Baptist Church and walk to the school.
The run/walk will make its way through the side streets of the West Side community. Peters said the path would not come out onto West G Street and that the Elizabethton Police Department would be at the event to block streets and to help with traffic flow.

This year's summer movie season is a dream for comic book fans.
As this summer's movies will find out, comic book fans are a very discriminating lot when it comes to the adaptations of their favorite superhero tales for the big screen. Especially in the age of the Internet, the process of making a superhero movie is one heavily scrutinized from the minute a project is announced, and will oddly be forgiven IF it works.
If it earns the distinction of becoming a classic, its standards will become those upon which all other superhero films will be judged. Here are five of those films.

Manuel Douglas is listed as the head football coach of City Section Division I champion Harbor City Narbonne, but his assistants tease him about "checking in with the real head coach."
That would be his wife, Jelerine, the mother of his three young children. She's a teacher and has been in the U.S. Army Reserve for 19 years as a combat medic instructor.
What Douglas does for Narbonne's football players, Jelerine provides at home, keeping everyone on schedule and offering plenty of support.
"She's the epitome of [an understanding] coach's wife," Douglas said. "I tell my assistant coaches, 'You have to have one if you're going to be in this game.'"
The summer began with Douglas and his wife celebrating the birth of their third child, a boy, in June — just weeks before the first practice of what would be, if all went well, the longest high school football season in California history.
And everything has gone well for Narbonne, which is 14-0 and playing Corona Centennial (13-1) on Saturday night at Cerritos College in the inaugural CIF state regional Open Division championship bowl game.
With only minutes left in last week's 25-0 victory over Crenshaw in the City championship game, Douglas became emotional. He had tears in his eyes. He thought about his players and the journey they've traveled to help transform Narbonne into one of the best teams in the state.
"I was thinking about those kids when they were 10th graders and Crenshaw blew us out," he said. "14-0 is an incredible thing. I was thinking about my family. Everything at once hit me. I don't get sentimental. I try to stay low-key and even keel. But that's the time to let it go because those moments don't come very often. Those two minutes were lots of years in the making."
Douglas was not ready to be a head coach when he took over the Narbonne program in 2002. He had so much more to learn. And then there was his offense. He was a Bloomington wing-T guy — run, run, run. It got the Gauchos close but never to the championship game.
After losing to Lake Balboa Birmingham in a 2004 semifinal, Douglas began to abandon his wing-T philosophy. He started to study what Urban Meyer was doing at Florida. He changed to a spread option attack with his quarterback in shotgun formation.
"I've been converted to the dark side," he said in 2008 before winning the first of his three City titles.
The ability to pass and run made all the difference in getting the Gauchos over the hump. He studied the no-huddle formation at Corona Centennial. He traveled to Oregon to learn how the Ducks ran their fast-break offense.
Douglas said he doesn't even remember half of the wing-T offense.
"I don't even know why I ran it for so long," he said. "This is so fun."
Narbonne had 10 starters returning on defense from last season's City title team, plus the reigning City player of the year, Washington-bound quarterback Troy Williams, so the pieces were present for a season to remember.
Official practice for Narbonne began July 22. Even then, Douglas was planning for an exhausting 16-week season, having his team tackle less while trying to save legs and bodies for the long haul.
Now comes the mental challenge. Douglas has directed his players' motivation toward a possible state championship bowl game next week against one of the nation's most respected programs, Concord De La Salle, which is favored in its regional game against Folsom. That's what the reward could be if they beat Centennial.
"I talked to them about not being satisfied," Douglas said.
Challenges on and off the field come almost daily for Douglas, who is the one assigned to track more than 130 players in the Narbonne program while working as a special education teacher.
"We always ask each other, 'Why, after 11 years, do we still do it?'" he said. "It is not easy. Our district continues to place barriers. Their focus is on advanced test scores and attendance rates, which are all important. Guys like us understand all those things intertwine with athletics."

8/4 – Yankees at Blue Jays
Not much news here at Rogers Centre, but plenty of talk about this series and the problems it presents for the Yankees — chief among them the presence of Mr. Roy Halladay. The Yankees have struggled against him historically, but then again, so has everybody else. And more problems await Wednesday, when the Yankees don't know what they'll get out of Sergio Mitre. Stealing a victory from Halladay tonight seems pretty important at this point.
Here are the lineups with the roof closed and the rain coming down in Toronto:
Jeter SS
Damon LF
Teixeira 1B
Rodriguez 3B
Matsui DH
Posada C
Cano 2B
Cabrera CF
Hinske RF
Pitching: Andy Pettite (8-6, 4.51)
Scutaro SS
Hill 2B
Lind DH
Millar 1B
Wells CF
Rios RF
Encarnacion 3B
Barajas C
Bautista LF
Pitching: Roy Halladay (11-4, 2.68)
NOTES: Damon leads all Major Leaguers with 30 career hits off Halladay. He is 30-for-86 (.349) in his career, with five doubles, a triple and two home runs … with a win, Pettitte will tie CC Sabathia with 16 wins in the month of August since 2005, tops in the bigs … Damaso Marte struck out two, walked one and allowed a hit in 0.2 scoreless innings of a rehab assignment with Triple-A Scranton on Tuesday … Joba Chamberlain threw an extra bullpen session in preparation for his start Thursday, which will come on seven days' rest … Eric Hinske started in right field Tuesday in place of Nick Swisher, who is 2-for-14 lifetime off Halladay. Hinske is 6-for-24. "If your numbers are OK against Roy, you're doing all right," Girardi said."

Enjoy the game tonight. If you're sitting in the bleachers, you have a good chance to catch a ball thrown by Mitre!

Well, I'm going to the game tonight in Toronto. A no-name pitcher is pitching for Toronto. I can't even pronounce his name. Mitre has been working on his mechanics since his last debacle. Can you fix mechanics that quickly? It should be interesting to see. I'm skeptical. Hopefully the yankees can sweep this mini series and stay ahead of the Sox and the Rays. Look forward to reading your blogs after the game.

Designer Austin Handler first discovered glassybaby when he heard Lee share her story at Blogfest in NYC last year. The glassybaby story resonated. This year, when designing a room for the Hamptons Holiday House he wanted to include glassybaby color. The Holiday House brought twenty four design firms together to transform a newly built Bridgehampton home into a unique show house to benefit the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

Visions of a Gilded Age Film Series at the Clark
For Immediate Release
July 01, 2008
Out of the same era and milieu as the American artists featured in the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute's summer exhibition Like Breath on Glass: Whistler, Inness, and the Art of Painting Softly, the novels of Henry James and Edith Wharton have elicited a wide range of film adaptations. A free film series, "Visions of a Gilded Age: Film Adaptations of Henry James and Edith Wharton," will take place at the Clark on Saturdays, from July 12 through August 23, at 2 pm.
July 12: The Heiress (1949, 115 min., not rated)
William Wyler directs this adaptation of Henry James's Washington Square. Olivia de Havilland won an Oscar for her portrayal of the beset daughter of domineering father Ralph Richardson, who fends off her fortune-seeking suitor Montgomery Clift.
July 19: The Innocents (1961, 85 min., not rated)
Deborah Kerr stars in Jack Clayton's atmospheric and chilling adaptation of the James novella The Turn of the Screw as the governess on a country estate. The children in her care are haunted by ghosts, or is she the one succumbing to evil visions?
July 26: The Bostonians (1984, 120 min., PG)
Vanessa Redgrave and Christopher Reeve lead a distinguished cast in this adaptation of the James novel, set amongst the women's suffrage movement in 19th century New England.
August 2: Portrait of a Lady (1996, 142 min., PG-13)
Jane Campion directs Nicole Kidman as the James heroine Isabel Archer, a spirited and independent American woman abroad, who falls under the sway of worldly Europeans Barbara Hershey and John Malkovich.
August 9: The Golden Bowl (2000, 130 min., R)
Merchant Ivory takes a sumptuous look at James's final novel, about a wealthy American played by Nick Nolte who is collecting art in Europe with a plan to build a museum back home. His young wife Uma Thurman becomes entangled with the marriage of his daughter Kate Beckinsale.
August 16: The Age of Innocence (1993, 138 min., PG)
Martin Scorsese's direction dazzles in this adaptation of the Edith Wharton novel about New York society in the 1870s. Proper lawyer Daniel Day Lewis is engaged to Winona Ryder, but can barely resist the charms of the scandalous Michelle Pfeiffer.
August 23: The House of Mirth (2000, 140 min., PG-13)
In Terence Davies's stark but sensitive adaptation of the Wharton novel, Gillian Armstrong is the precarious social climber trying to make her way into New York society at the mercy of ruthless characters like Dan Ackroyd and Laura Linney.
Like Breath on Glass: Whistler, Inness, and the Art of Painting Softly featuresforty beautiful paintings by James McNeill Whistler, George Inness, and other American artists working around 1900 in an examination the art of painting softly. As Whistler once stated, "Paint should not be applied thick. It should be like breath on the surface of a pane of glass." The result of this counsel is a body of contemplative and meditative paintings that, like the mist of breath's condensation on glass, appear on the canvas without evidence of the artist's hand. Like Breath on Glass is on view through October 19.
The Clark is located at 225 South Street in Williamstown. The galleries are open daily in July and August from 10 am to 5 pm (closed Mondays September through June). Admission June 1 through October 31 is $12.50 for adults, free for children 18 and younger, members, and students with valid ID. Admission is free November 1 through May 31. For more information, call 413-458-2303 or visit www.clarkart.edu.

A Fresh Take on Deer Resistant Plants from Terrain
The Gardenist
1. Bouteloua gracilis 'Blonde Ambition' available from High Country Gardens is an airy grass whose seed heads looked like little flags. I'm grass obsessed… so this will be a great addition to my collection.
2. Thuja plicata 'Whipcord'. This guy would be pretty in a container, or perhaps spilling over a balcony or wall. The 'corded' branches remind me of dreadlocks and fun summer concerts...it is top of my must have list. I found it at Blue River Nursery.
3. Parthenium integrifolium has the prettiest white flower (on tall stems) and was quite stunning nestled amongst the grasses in the display… perfect for creating a relaxed, prairie-inspired planting. It is available online from Prairie Nursery
4. Fothergilla 'Blue Shadow'. I have planted many, many, (many!) fothergilla plants in my days as a garden designer, but until now I was unaware of the 'Blue Shadow' variety, whose leaves are simply stunning. They are the same shade of blue as the much coveted blue hostas — I can't wait to try out this old favorite plant in a new color. Fothergilla 'Blue Shadow' is available from Avant Gardens
5. Did I mention my grass obsession? Pennisetum 'Fairy Tails', available from Greener Earth Nursery, is the reason why I love grassy plants: perfectly touchable plumes that are perfect for running through your fingers as you pass by. It's like the garden version of the sweet cat that loves to be petted.
Have you grown any of these varieties? How did they work for you? And if you did find that deer ate them, I (for one) would love to know. The deer who live near me seem to have a taste for things that they are not supposed to… and I can never be sure of what will be safe from gobbling.

I'm so glad there was a post about grass.Not sure if they are going to deter deer though, but I'm also a big fan for lots of stipa and "blue love" grass. These compliment a lot of my succulents on my terrace and its so robust.
The deer actually left my hostas alone this year, possibly because I sprayed Deer Out on them. The hostas were there when I moved in, and I fought the deer for two seasons before finding that product.
All of my own garden choices are tempered by the question "will the deer eat it?" I use the Rutgers database quite often http://njaes.rutgers.edu/deerresistance/ and most of the nurseries in my area of NJ will conspicuously mark deer resistant varieties.
The answer to the question "will deer eat it?" is yes. They try things, if it agrees with them, they eat more, if not then maybe not. The best way I've found to keep them off of a new plant is to spray it with ~20% egg and 80% water. Just mix up the whole mess in hand sprayer (might pick out the stringy bits so it doesn't clog the sprayer) then wet the plant. I've done the experiment, some treated, some not. Works for ~4 weeks (ish).

Rock, Paper, SHAZBOT!: The RPS community Tribes: Ascend server.EU Amsterdam
Steam group
YOU THERE! Yes you wonderful young person of excellent breeding! (if not young, it matters not as I presume you have wonderful genes). Do YOU want to play Tribes Ascend with lots of wonderful peoples avoiding the terror of Public server drama or just play with regular Shazbotters with a reliable frequency for logging on?
If so JOIN US on the RockPaperShazbot server for fun and frolics!
Where is the server?
RockPaperShazbot is a server located at the EU Amsterdam and has roughly 3 games a week (more on XP weekends or Patch weeks, less when the people putting the games up are feeling lazy).
Since showing is far easier then explaining for an idiot like me, here is a vid on how to find the server. (warning; awful stammering fake accent and the need to use classical to make it more classy contained)
I'm in America. Is that not too far away for me to get a good ping?
Actually from the feedback of most of the regular American Shazbotters that the pings are actually quite stable and low for a transatlantic connection. People from all parts of the world are welcome!
How about Australia or NZ?
Ah... well we have not had too many people play from said regions so I cannot comment on how stable connections are from there. (TO BE UPDATED)
When do you play?
Usually Wednesday, Friday and Sunday starting between 8pm and 9pm GMT. Two of those days will be CTF (usually Friday and Sunday).
What? You don't only play CTF?
Yes, on Wednesdays we typically alternate between Arena and C&H (Capture and Hold) to add spice to the proceedings.
You are stupid! Tribes is all about CTF!
Well, sorry you feel this way, however there is no obligation to join in on the Arenas / C&H games. With two CTF nights there should be enough action to sate us all.
By playing on custom servers will I not get XP?
You do get XP actually, and if the arena nights are anything to go by, you get a LOT of XP at that. Badge accolades that give XP (such as die from falling or getting 100 mid-airs etc...) are not given and neither is Weapon XP. If you want to grind guns or armor up you will unfortunately have to play a few Public Games.
Do you use any form of VoIP?
We are currently freeloading on the ArmA RPS Mumble server, please see the thread there in regards to how that works. Some people use the Steam chat to talk also if you wish.
Do you have a Steam group?
YES! Yes we do. Please join it RIGHT NOW! From here we arrange most of our games and post news as to how RPS Shazbots.
Who owns the server?
At the moment that is ME! (in game Lemmington). Any questions or problems can be thrown my way. Please pay attention to the subforum here as to any polls being made in regards to the server's upkeep and gametypes / rules. Please note that over time the owner may change around.
If you wish to be a mod for the server ask away, however bear in mind I wont suddenly throw modship to people I don't know (yet).
Are you deathly serious and competitive?
Not really, but some of us are (to be updated)
Are there any server rules?
Just dont be a git really. Treat this the same as the rules laid down by lord Jim.
If someone is being a git, then mention it to a mod and hopefully we can sort it out.
A Juggernaut is killing me all the time! He is being a git!
No, he is doing his job quite possibly or just playing well. So long as its not friendly fire we will not penalize people for playing the game well.
The server is empty right now and no games are being held. Can me and a friend use it to ski about?
Sure. If nothing is happening the server is free to be used by anyone as long as it does not disrupt the arranged games.
Note that due to the fact we have different game types being played the server may suddenly change its gametype without warning. Please pay attention to what is being played and when.
It should also be noted that if you decide to pull in a load of peoples for a quick PUG or what-not and it overflows into a regular prearranged game, blocking the chance of regulars to play then indiscriminate kicking may occur.
Post to be updated later when I get my brain in gear.
