The perfect book for every first-time bike rider
I want a bike! I want a bike! This is all Bonnie says for one full week, until her parents surprise her with . . . a bike! Then: Oh boy! Oh boy! Before she knows it, Bonnie is off on a wobbly course around the backyard that becomes an adventure of epic proportions. She bikes over mountains, under giraffes, up the Statue of Liberty, through the Grand Canyon, and past the Giant Cheese. There's only one thing Bonnie can't do on her bike . . . STOP!!! But after a tumble and an important lesson from Mom and Dad, Bonnie is back in the saddle.
This celebration of a timeless rite of passage will have kids clamoring to read it, read it again, and then strike out on their own bike-riding adventures.
"So inviting that children who do not ride a bicycle yet will wish they could have their first ride in such a welcoming place." — Horn Book
"A fun-filled take on a familiar childhood milestone." — Kirkus Reviews
"Wright's naif, acrylic-on-canvas drawings and Proimos's wry reportorial style strike the right notes of silliness and exhilarating independence. Bonnie's wide-mouth grin should be an inspiration and impetus to anyone contemplating putting away the training wheels." — Publishers Weekly

Pizza >Frankies Pizza Maple Valley
22125 SE 237th St Ste 102, Maple Valley, WA | Directions 9805847.389119 -122.045912
Mon. - Thu., Sun. 11am - 9pm;Fri. - Sat. 11am - 10pm
I LOVE Frankie's gluten free pizza and am so thankful they make it! If you are gluten intolerant and have not found pizza up to your standards yet, try Frankie's-it is absolutely delicious. I am thankful for these guys-they run a great business and make the best pizza around.
Frankie's is our favorite lunch spot. Jumbo slices are the perfect fill, and they have awesome gourmet selections. I come here with the guys for lunch all the time, and order in with the wifey as well!
Nothing like gettin your pizza quicker than they tell you it will be there! I was always applaud a company with fast service, so thank you Frankies for delivering (literally). The pizza was very good, we got a few different ones and there wasn't one that i didn't like. More of a gourmet style. Very happy with the pizza and the timely delivery!
We love the Maple Valley Frankies. A lot of pizza places have come and gone, and we have made Frankies our Friday night tradition. Hawaiian is always been my favorite but they do a twist on that called the "Super Kahuna"-delicious and highly recommend!
Very Good Pizza – My husband and I splurge on Frankie's when the discount cook-it-yourself joint won't cut it. We've tried every pizza joint in the M.V. area, and my husband likes it the best. He likes their crust a lot. Not too doughy, good flavor. He loves the quality ingredients, and they do his pep w/ extra cheese just right.
I like the lighter fare such as the garlic & tomato pizza w/ olive oil a lot. Great flavor.
However, if you don't take the time to request a coupon, it's pricey. Be specific on your directions as we've had their drivers get lost a couple of times.
Questionable Emplyee Practices – Extremely Poor Service
On July 23, 2009, my husband and I were trying to decide where to grab something quick and easy. Well.....imagine my surprise and excitement when I found a Frankies Pizza in Maple Valley. It was about 8:30pm when I called to order, and the young male I spoke with on the phone said they would deliver, took down my credit card number, and then ask another co-worker if they did deliver that far. The other co-worker said no, so I said I would come pick it up. The male I was talking to said it would be 30-45 mins before it was ready.
Now, by the time I got off the phone, with all the credit card information, the order and the confusion about where they would order to, it was about 8:45pm, give or take 5 mins.
At about 9:05pm, I drove down to Frankie's from the Ravensdale area. When I got there, the lights were out and I could see employees through the window mopping the floors, and vigorously rapped on the front window, but no one would come to the door.
The owner of the business next door said he would go let them know I was there to pick up previously orderded, and paid for pizza. (remember, I gave them a credit card number). When the gentleman from the other business came back he said they just said to tell me they were closed.
While I was standing outside talking to the owner of the other business, an older male came from a back office, walked right up in front of the window where I was standing, pulled what appeared to be my order from a delivery hot pack and walked out the back door, came around front to where I was parked, put the pizza and himself in his vehicle and drove off.
Yes, I was a little disgruntled.
1) Why did the employee that took my order tell my 30-45 mins, when it was already after 8:30pm and knew they would be closing and never said a work about closing at 9:00 pm to me.
2) Why would, what appeared to be the shift manager on duty, not come to the door and talk to me but instead, take out the pizzas I had ordered, put them in his car and leave, being parked right next to me. (I guess free food is better than having to pay for it - no matter how you get it - LOL)
3) Then I had to wait and worry that my credit card got charged for something that I didn't receive, which, by the way, it didn't. That tells me something right there. Why not charge my credit card if I gave it to them , pre-ordered unless they knew I wasn't going to make it down there before they closed. (SCAMMERS!!)
Needless to say........Even though I have heard nothing but how fabulous their pizza is, and I have waited for a long time for one to be in our area, I doubt that I will support the Frankie's in Maple Valley. I'd rather go out of my way than have to deal with dishonest employees.

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,418205,00.htmlIs Kim Jong Il for real? The question has baffled foreign intelligence agencies for years, but a veteran Japanese expert on North Korea says the dear leader is actually dead and his role is played by a double.
The expert says Kim died of diabetes in 2003 and world leaders, including Vladimir Putin of Russia and Hu Jintao of China, have been negotiating with an imposter.
He believes that Kim, fearing assassination, had groomed up to four look-alikes to act as substitutes at public events. One underwent plastic surgery to make his appearance more convincing. Now, the expert claims, the actors are brought on stage whenever required to persuade the masses that Kim is alive.

Narrator: This is Science Today. If the famous Nietzsche quote - AWhat does not destroy me, makes me strong - rings true to you, chances are you're what Dr. Salvatore Maddi, a psychologist at the University of California, Irvine calls a Ahardy person. Maddi helps people deal with stress by teaching them what he calls hardiness skills.
Maddi: A lot of people tell us - well, hardiness - you either have it or you don't. It's in the genes. But you know, that's not really so true. If that was true, hardiness training wouldn't work the way it does and the research is very clear that it works.
Narrator: Hardiness training teaches people the coping and social support skills it takes to deal with stress.
Maddi: Hardy people believe Awhatever doesn't kill me makes me stronger. Our approach comes very much out of that kind of Nietzschian thinking. But what we feel is when a terrible circumstance overcomes you, you only have two options - give up or learn from it. And do something better. And some people actually do that.
Narrator: For Science Today, I'm Larissa Branin.

Washington, D.C. – Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi, Congressman John Dingell, Congressman George Miller, Congresswoman Nita Lowey, Congressman Chris Van Hollen, and House Democratic leaders held a press conference calling on House Republicans to allow Members of Congress to vote on the Senate-passed continuing resolution to keep the government operating. Below are the Leader's opening remarks, followed by the question and answer session:
Leader Pelosi. Good afternoon, everyone. Thank you for being here. I am very honored to be here with leaders in the Congress who have great experience in the Appropriations process as well in the authorization process. Chairman Dingell called to our attention recently an opportunity for us to keep government open. So, I am honored that he is here to be with us. Mr. Miller has introduced a bill do so. Mr. Van Hollen will speak to that as the Ranking Member on the Budget Committee as well as Congresswoman Lowey as the Ranking Member on the Appropriations Committee.
It's an attempt for us in a bipartisan way to open up government and with that I am pleased to yield to the very distinguished Member of the House, Chairman of the Natural Resources Committee, Chairman of the Education and the Workforce Committee, now Ranking Member of that committee, [Congressman] George Miller.
Congressman George Miller. Thank you very much, Speaker Pelosi. We are now on the fourth day of our government shutdown. The question in everybody's mind is: How does this shutdown end? As we have said before, we believe the best course of action would be for the Republican leadership to bring up the Senate-passed resolution today and for an up and down vote to re-open up government right away. It is very unfortunate that the majority of the House has not been allowed to freely cast its vote to re-open the government. But one thing is becoming clearer is: as the shutdown drags on the growing number of Republican Members of Congress want the opportunity to work with Democrats to end this crisis. We've seen this in press reports and I've heard it in my own private conversations with my Republicans colleagues.
Today, we are offering my Republicans friends and the American people a way forward. We are initiating, this afternoon, a discharge petition under the rules of the House that will finally allow a majority of the House to freely express their will on whether or not to re-open the government through a clean, funding resolution. If a majority of Members sign this petition, House Members can take up and up-or-down vote on re-opening the government as early as October 14th.
It is time to return the majority rule to the House of Representatives and to get the federal government back to work for the American people. Again, make no mistake, our first choice would be not to have to wait until October 14th or even one more day, but to have the Republican leadership bring up the Senate-passed funding bill and immediately allow us an up-or-down vote on it. We believe that the Senate-funding bill would pass in the House and the government would be re-opened right away. But if that does not happen, we have another way forward.
It is time to allow a true majority in the House to work its will, to be allowed a vote, to open up the government, the entire government, right away. Thank you.
I yield to Mr. Dingell.
Congressman John Dingell. I was so hypnotized by what my good friend was saying. I was like, "Holy, cat – I would listen to more of this."
Well, good afternoon. Madam Speaker, all of my colleagues, ladies and gentleman, we are announcing something good today. We are about to rescue the Republicans who have gotten themselves in the unhappy position of the dog that caught the car. They have shut the nation down, they are costing the country money, they are jeopardizing our international reputation, they are costing us wasted money, they are having us have employees of the government not being paid and not working, and we are going to have to let them come forward and pay them. In addition to this, they are threatening the stock markets, they are causing huge amounts of difficulty, in the economy potentially and they are probably significantly increasing the national debt.
Indeed, they are disregarding the words of a number of their distinguished leaders like Senator McCain and my dear friend Senator Dole and my dear friends from other places who have pointed out, including Mitt Romney that this is not the way to do. We ought not to hold Obamacare in thrall of the Republican effort to shut down the government and tie the whole mess together into an infernal [inaudible] that is hurting each and every one of us.
But having said this, my good friend George Miller has announced that we're going to be bringing forward a discharge petition on H.R. 1164. That's a good Republican bill. It's co-sponsors include Mr. Lankford of Oklahoma, Congressman Hensarling of Texas, Congresswoman Blackburn of Tennessee and Congressman Huizenga of Michigan – good, solid, conservative Republicans. We are trying to help the Republicans get back to show some real sincerity. Because as you note, they've been all of the lot, they have talk about how they are doing this for one reason and how for another. And they have left this country in this awkward position. For every time, they get to be angry about something, they petulantly go about their business like spoiled children to stop the government so that we will negotiate with them that spoil children want and think they get that by blackmailing the country, by blackmailing the Congress, and by blackmailing the Senate and the President. This is no way to do.
So, we are going to announce, help them by putting one of their bills on the floor, which will speed things forward in terms of getting the country back on again. And we will stop this radical Republican Shutdown of our government, something that the American citizens want and are insisting that we do. Thank you.
Congressman Chris Van Hollen. Thank you to the Dean of the House. It's great to be with my colleagues here. I think all of you know from the beginning we've had a very simple message, which is: We want to vote in the people's house on a clean continuing resolution to keep the entire government open now.
The President has indicated he would sign it as soon as it got to his desk. If the Speaker would allow us to have a vote on that bill, we could go upstairs in the next five minutes, vote on it, and send it down to the President who would sign it and the government would be opened up. The Speaker has blocked that. I think the American people would be shocked to learn the lengths the Speaker and the Republican majority have gone to undermine the democratic process here in the house in order to keep the government shut down.
We learned from the parliamentarian just two days ago that on October 1st, the Republican majority here changed the standing rules of the House in a way to keep the government shut down. How did they do it? The standing rules of the House say that when you're in the situation we are between the House and the Senate, in this situation back and forth, that any Member of the House, any of my colleagues up here, any Republican Member, could bring up the clean Senate-passed resolution for a vote. That's what the standing Rules of the House say. It's Rule 22-4. They changed that rule in the Rules Committee to say: "Only Eric Cantor, the Majority Leader or his designee could call for that vote."
So, not only has the Speaker of the House denied us the opportunity of the democratic process work, but they deliberately rigged the rules in an abusive way to keep the government shut down. So today, we're calling on using the standing rules of the House, the real rules of the House, to get us a vote by October 14th.
We want the vote today. Make no mistake. We want it right now. But this will, at least, start the clock ticking so that by October 14th, unless they once again try and abuse the rules of the house, we would at least by then have a chance to have a clean up or down vote to keep the government open. We should do it now. But our Republican colleagues who keep telling us, many of them, that they want to keep the government open, now have an opportunity to join us in signing this discharge petition seven days from now, so that we can put an end to this ridiculousness. Open the government. Open it today, let's start the process and get it done.
And now I'm very pleased to yield to our terrific colleague in the Appropriations Committee, Ms. Nita Lowey.
Congresswoman Nita Lowey. Enough is enough. It is a national disgrace that the government of the greatest and strongest nation in the world should be shut down and held hostage to the demands of a small faction of the most radical tea party Republicans led by Senator Ted Cruz.
It's time to end this reckless and dangerous Republican Government Shutdown. At this point, the majority can't even tell us what they're trying to accomplish. One Republican made what some call a gaffe, a moment of unintentional honesty. Asked why the majority would not end the shutdown he said: "We're not going to be disrespected. We have to get something out of this and I don't even know what that is."
Well, Democrats know exactly what we must accomplish and it could not be simpler. We want to end the Republican Shutdown immediately, put 800,000 Americans back to work, restore all the services American families depend on. That is why this discharge petition is so important. If Speaker Boehner will not allow a vote on a clean Senate-passed bill to open the government, we should force one. I call on all Republicans to up stand to the Tea Party, end this reckless political game, join us to re-open the government, put Americans back to work, and get on to the business Americans sent us here to accomplish.
Leader Pelosi. I thank my colleagues for their leadership on this issue. Remember, this is a bill that was introduced by the Republican Conference. This is their bill that we're asking them to support.
I just want to acknowledge that we have been joined by Congressman Crowley who left out to vote, who's been such a great Member of our leadership and of course, our very distinguished Whip, Mr. Hoyer.
Any questions?
Q: Leader Pelosi?
Leader Pelosi. Yeah?
Q: Considering how the debt ceiling deadline is October 17, and that's coming up, any negotiations that were to start now would end inevitably include that as well. Is there a chance that this government shutdown last all the way until that deadline?
Leader Pelosi. I hope and pray that it does not because it is really harmful to our country. And as dreadful as the full faith and credit of the United States of the America being discredited, this is hurting our fiscal picture is hurting our credit rating as well. So, the sooner we can shut this down, the better and perhaps this leverage of having something to go forth to the 14th, is something that will encourage the Republicans to go earlier because defaulting on our full faith and credit is horrible, but this is terrible. And the combination is really catastrophic.
I'm going to yield to my colleagues who have been working on this. None of us has voted. Maybe [Congressman] Steny [Hoyer]…
Democratic Whip Steny Hoyer. I've voted.
Leader Pelosi. Well, you take the floor because we have to vote.
Q: Did you talk first about the discharge petition?
Whip Hoyer. Yes.
Q: Talking about October 14th, isn't this sort of a "non-starter" because – and the rule is you can only consider a discharge petition from the second and fourth Mondays of the month. That is a federal holiday, so we don't know if we're going to be here and doesn't that drag that out? I realized you might have another legislation option, but doesn't that…
Mr. Miller. It's a question of what legislative options you have. We don't have many. We chose to do this if everything worked right. We can bring it up if we get Republican co-sponsors. The leadership can provide an alternative. The leadership can allow us to take it up when we return from Columbus Day.
The point is: the clock is ticking. The more this gets combined with issues around the debt limit, the more complicated all of this becomes. And I think the point it: we ought to open up the government now. The government should be open. When we are discussing the debt limit, when the leadership of the House, the Senate, and the President are discussing the debt limit, I think to have the government closed down, the same time you are doing that, you are sending a horrible, horrible message to the world markets about the United States.
And you have heard all of the discussion about how important we are to those markets, how we're the reserve currency, and the role that we play, to have the government shut down when you are discussing the debt limit, I think the Republicans are asking for double trouble for the American economy and they are going to end up standing on the throats of job opportunities if they do that.
Q: Also on the procedure, are you certain that it is a petition? Or how do you expect to get…
Mr. Miller. This resolution, we will make an order, a discharge petition, to discharge the language of the Lankford bill, but we will have a complete substitute for that language which will be a clean continuing resolution to open up the government.
Q: So, how do you get to 218 votes? The procedures…
Mr. Miller. How do you get them? You round them up. You…
Q: But how long do you think, how long do you think that will take?
Mr. Miller. In seven day they'll be eligible to sign, to sign the discharge petition and we expect that we can get them all in one day.
Q: With the debt limit deadline coming up Republicans seems to want to broaden out the discussion to include budget issues. Including even possibly the sequester. Is that, is that going anywhere?
Mr. Miller. Well I think what, I think all you're seeing there for the moment is a signal that they understand that the idea of holding the government hostage and people's jobs hostage and the services of the country hostage to their vision of repealing the Affordable Care Act is not failed and they're trying to shift to some other topic. But on the budget let me have our budget senior person, Chris Van Hollen.
Mr. Van Hollen. Well, look we have said from the very beginning, as you know, that we're prepared to sit down with the Republicans to talk about all the budget issues. We've been trying to do that since last March, when the House passed a budget and the Senate passed a budget. We've been blocked three times on votes here in the House asking the Speaker to name budget negotiators so that we could have that negotiation between the House and the Senate. And the Senate, Senator Reid and Senator Murray have tried 18 times to try to appoint budget conferees. They were blocked by Senator Lee, Senator Cruz, and some of the other Tea Party Senators in the Senate. So they've blocked that conversation to date. We welcome that conversation. The President has a budget with a big jobs package in it. He's got a balanced approach to reducing the long-term deficit. The Republican budget takes the country in the entirely wrong direction. But we've always wanted to have that negotiation. They stayed away from the negotiating table for months and months in order to very deliberately push this government and the country up against the wall because they thought that they could get through process what they could not get through negotiation and compromise.
So, we stand ready. Ready to do that. I would just say that the irony here, of course, is that the underlying bill that we're amending as part of this process, the underlying Republican bill, as Mr. Dingell said is called the Government Shutdown Prevention Act. Now, obviously they worked hard to make sure that the government did shutdown. We are going to be using that vehicle, that is the vehicle to make sure that we have a chance to open government. Again, we could do it in the next five minutes if the Speaker would allow a vote, but this is an opportunity for Republicans who claim that they want to vote on a clean CR to keep the government open to actually put their signature where their statements are.
And I'm going to yield to our Democratic [Whip].
Whip Hoyer. I want Mr. Van Hollen to go vote. As the Whip, I want him to vote.
Mr. Van Hollen. Our Whip.
Whip Hoyer. We'll just do a couple more minutes because the bottom line is: the Republicans say they want the government open, they don't want to shut it down. The Majority Leader's given himself the authority to do exactly that, he ought to exercise it. This is just another legislative opportunity for us to press that point.
Q: It seems a tad unrealistic, we're talking about the 11th when you could collect signature, the 14th before you could vote, a holiday being in the way. Then we'll have to go to the Senate and a potential filibuster problem there because it's not the same bill that the Senate passed. I mean, you're looking at weeks here. I mean are you throwing your hands up and saying we're not going to get there any sooner? Or is this, you know, more of what we're seeing a lot of press conferences and not real opportunities to do much as this point?
Whip Hoyer. I agree with you.
Whip Hoyer. I agree with all of that. We ought to have, we ought to stop the press conferences, stop the rhetoric, put a bill on the floor, let's vote. And we'll see who wants to open up the government; we'll see who wants to shutdown the government. This is a previous question vote. You now have, if we have 178 no's on this previous question vote. If we had 217, I think is what we need, I think they're one [below] what they need at this point in time. If we had 217 votes, then the ability would shift to us and we would put on a clean CR. So when you hear people talking about 'oh, I want to open the government' you look at these 180 votes that voted to open the government, and the 219 votes, right now, who are voting to keep the government shutdown. You're right, don't listen to the words, watch the actions.
Yes sir?
Q: Isn't any Republican that signs onto a discharge petition like this basically guaranteeing a primary challenge?
Whip Hoyer. Well, I think that, that's part of the problem here. I think Republicans are terrified about Tea Party opponents, I think you're right, I think that you know. You asked me a question I don't know the answer to – does it guarantee it? No. But I think the fear factor on the Republican side is very high. And therefore I will tell you, I have a lot of Republicans come to me. I have a very good relationship with a lot, most of the Republican side of the aisle, some of the more conservative Members as well and they tell me that their guys are being threatened if they do anything like that. If they so much, and we had some courageous, we've got 17 Republicans who have said that they would vote for a clean CR. I hate that term. Bill to open up government. That they would vote for that. My speculation from looking at those numbers, of 184 who have voted on that side of the proposition, that they haven't voted that way and the reason being because this is a procedural vote and both sides say procedural votes you should stick with your party. But stick with their party in this instance means that hundreds of thousands of people who want to work, are not allowed to work, and the peoples government is shutdown.
Vice Chairman Crowley. Sorry, can I just. Let me just add. Let me just, let me just follow one point on that. As we said earlier, none of us want to see this come to fruition. We're hoping that the Republicans come to their senses and that we can have a bill on the floor that can get government open right away. But this is an opportunity. So far I've seen two Republicans put their votes where their mouths are. That's Peter King and Charlie Dent. We hear of others, there are others who have said and have signed letters, but they have not yet heretofore voted against their leadership to get what is known as a clean continuing resolution on the floor.
Whip Hoyer. Keep government open bill.
Vice Chairman Crowley. That's what we want to have happen. And this is another tool, once again, to demonstrate whether your signature and your vote is where your mouths are.
Whip Hoyer. Last question. I've pointed at him already.
Q: Will Democrats in the House support the bill to retroactively pay Federal workers which I under the Administration is…
Whip Hoyer. Is what?
Q: The Administration is working passage.
Whip Hoyer. Absolutely. I can't, I don't think there is a Democrat that's going to vote against it, I hope there is not a Republican vote against it. There are hundreds of thousands of people now worried about are they going to be able to pay their mortgage in November? Are they going to pay, are they going to be able to put food on the table? You know, most of us don't have a deep reservoir of savings to sustain weeks of non-payment. We're now seeing the specter of going into a full week of a government shutdown unless, of course, our Republican colleagues put on the floor, which they could do today or tomorrow, a bill which will open up the government of the people of the United States of America.
Thank you all very much.

MSc in Economics and MSc in Economic Policy
Modern economics is an increasingly rigorous discipline and advanced degrees are now essential for careers in international institutions, government and industry. A UCL Master's degree will equip the professional economist with the powerful tools required to understand the rapidly changing, complex and uncertain modern world economy.
The Department of Economics offers two full-time 12-month programmes: an MSc in Economic Policy, which was launched in September 2011, and a redesigned MSc in Economics.
Why choose UCL?
- The department has an outstanding international reputation for research excellence. The most recent Research Assessment Exercise (2008), ranked UCL one of the top two Economics departments in the UK.
- Members of the department direct and hold senior positions in several research centres involved in policy design and evaluation.
- The MSc in Economic Policy is a new and unique programme, which takes advantage of the department's role as a global leader in policy-oriented research.
- UCL offers a new research methods course (common to both programmes) that teaches the most important software programmes and how to formulate a research project.
- Both programmes include a supervised dissertation.
MSc Economics
MSc Economic Policy
|Focus: Students will learn the formal tools that are necessary to understand and conduct cutting-edge research in both theoretical and applied economics. The majority of the course-work is in the core subjects of microeconomics, macroeconomics and econometrics.
|Focus: As compared with the MSc in Economics, the focus of the core subjects is less on mathematical derivations and more on the policy implications of economic models and their applications to real-world examples. Students also take a greater number of applied economics optional courses.
|Ideal candidate: Because of the focus on analytical rigour and research methods, the ideal candidate is a professional economist with research-oriented interests or someone interested in pursuing a Ph.D. in economics.
|Ideal candidate: A professional economist working in a policy-related field or someone intending to work as a professional economist in policy-related work or to pursue a PhD in applied economics.

As T.O. said, the aging process is "kind of innersting."
Yes, Tom Osborne, whose name now is often preceded by "the legendary," is aging. But who isn't?
It's just that it's a bit more obvious, to ourselves and others, when the years pile on like players diving after a loose football, one on top of the other.
Not only does the pile of years grow larger, but also we endure more aches and pains, and sometimes we forget what we are looking for. ... Oh, yes, the ball — I knew it was somewhere down in this scrum.
Or maybe it was the car keys that we fumbled and can't find. Our spouse's birthday. Our glasses.
We get a little forgetful — who can remember all of our passwords? — and we're not quite as nimble, physically or mentally. It's part of aging.
"Mother Nature is not kind to the old," 1972 Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Rodgers told me Wednesday. "They used to call me 'The Jet.' I'm just a prop plane now."
Johnny the Jet is 61, still active, still sharp and with a good sense of humor. I'm 63, still pounding out sentences for a living but lamenting that, among other things, I'm no longer adept at remembering names.
The other morning I was dismayed that my car was gone from my parking spot in the garage of the building where I live downtown. Before I called 911, I remembered that I had stopped at the office the night before on my way home from an event.
I had parked on the street, but forgot about that and walked home. ... Geez. When I'm oblivious, I just hope it's not obvious.
"Doctor Tom," as we used to call him because of his doctorate in educational psychology, will turn 76 in February. In announcing Wednesday that he would step down Jan. 1 as athletic director, he started off by mentioning the "innersting" aging process.
I've always liked how he pronounced that word. But this time he meant it wryly, ironically — interesting in the sense of the supposed ancient curse, "May you live in interesting times."
Tom said his health is fine, even better than when he served in Congress from 2001 to 2007. It's been 27 years since he underwent double-bypass surgery, 15 years since he retired as Husker football coach, five years since he was called in to rescue the NU athletic department.
He has given us so many great and glorious moments. But, if he's like the rest of us 60 and older, he's also had "senior moments."
In his self-effacing way, Tom acknowledged not wanting to hang around too long.
"At some point, whether you're able to function or not, the perception is that getting old can get in the way," Osborne said. "So I don't want to be one of those guys where everybody is walking around wringing their hands and wondering what they're going to do with him."
I still wish he had explained, even in a wry sense, what's so dadgummed innersting about getting older.
Because it is. In some ways, it's a good interesting. In other ways — not so much.
Julie Masters, head of the gerontology department at the University of Nebraska at Omaha, said that in serving as athletic director and accomplishing so much between the ages of 70 and 75, Osborne is a role model for the 21st century.
"He returned with grace and elegance to steady the ship at a turbulent time," she said. "With the burgeoning aging population, why aren't we calling on more of the Tom Osbornes of the world to help lead our way?"
Masters, 51, said she, too, is more forgetful than she once was. As long as you're not forgetting your own name or your children's names, she said, it's part of the normal aging process.
The first time I saw the amazing sight of a sold-out, red-bedecked Memorial Stadium was the fall of 1970, new to Nebraska and just having turned 22. Johnny the Jet Rodgers caught two touchdown passes as the Huskers beat Oklahoma 28-21.
I was a news reporter, not a sportswriter — and didn't aspire to be one. Out of the blue 11 years later, I was named sports editor and sports columnist, and I spent a decade covering the Husker phenomenon and Tom Osborne.
It was innersting — and then some.
Even though the win-loss record of the past decade has dropped from what it was under Tom's coaching, fan enthusiasm has not. Johnny the Jet is still asked to sign autographs and pose for pictures — as he will Oct. 6 at Midtown Crossing for The World-Herald's "Pigskin in the Park."
The Nebraska-Ohio State game will be shown that evening on a big screen, and you can bring a cooler. Johnny will be honored beforehand for the 40th anniversary of his Heisman.
Ozzie was his position coach in '72, the year before becoming head coach.
"Tom is like a father figure," Johnny said. "He's also been a brother, a mentor and an all-around guy for a lot of people."
We can't live forever, and we can't work forever. T.O. has worked for his native state for a very long time.
He wrote a book titled "More Than Winning," asserting that what is most important is the journey, the process.
The process of aging is a journey, too — and definitely a work in progress.

I have a name question, which, while having no urgency at all, has been driving me crazy for years. I am only trying to get pregnant (unsuccessfully), and therefore have no impending infant to name. However, if I am lucky enough to have a child, I am very set on family names or variations thereof. My grandmother was very important to me and she died when I was young. She always made me promise to never ever name a child after her, as she hated her name - Constance L@vonia. Now L@vonia is truly awful but Constance is something I would consider, at least as a middle name. I just can't though - I promised. Can you think of an alternative? Some way to honor my grandmother AND her wishes? Thanks!
PS - Id consider HER mother's name except its a) not really my style and b) has already been used in my generation as an honor name. Other names on that side of the family were names my great great grandmother found in books and then altered to make then unique...and therefore are atrocious. (M3rle, P@lma, Aud@...)
This is a very, very interesting question to me, and it's going to be an all-over-the-spectrum comments section, I can tell!
Here are the questions/issues, as I see them:
1. Who owns a name?
2. Who is allowed to name a child?
3. Do people really mean it when they say not to use their names?
4. Once the person has died, should their wishes on "not wanting to hear their own name on a baby" still matter? If so: why? (And at which point do their wishes trump your wishes?---see #s 1 and 2.)
5. Should anyone force a child to promise something like that?
6. If a child promises something like that, are they bound to it as an adult?
Let's start with numbers 5 and 6. I'm reminded of my high school boyfriend, whose deathbed-residing grandfather made him promise to name a son after him. My boyfriend promised, and felt bound by that promise. My feeling on the subject: "YOU WERE SEVEN YEARS OLD AT THE TIME. That was incredibly emotionally manipulative, and totally out of bounds, and completely arrogant and inappropriate of him to demand a namesake, and also it seems pretty chauvinistic because WHAT ABOUT THE FUTURE MOTHER OF YOUR CHILD?? Doesn't HER opinion count for anything?? 'THE MAN' gets to promise for both of them?? I THINK NOT!!"
Ahem. I might still be a bit steamed about it.
I think also of my mom's grandmother, who was...er, enthusiastically involved with the Women's Christian Temperance Union, and who made all her young grandchildren promise never to touch alcohol---and in fact made them SIGN A CONTRACT to that effect. Is my mother bound by that promise? Certainly not. She was not able to make a promise like that at her age (or to say no to making a promise like that), and my great-grandmother should not have asked her to.
Next I would like to turn attention to numbers 1 and 2, about who owns a name and about who is authorized to make the decision about what to name a baby. We've discussed name ownership before, mostly in the context of "Can you re-use a name a friend already used for her baby?," and in general the idea is that names are many-time-use items (the friend wasn't the first person to use it EITHER) (unless they actually WERE, but let's keep this simple), but that we still might want to choose to go with other people's preferences in the matter because the relationships (and the other people's feelings) are important to us. But it's also important to remember that this is because we are being LOVING AND CONSIDERATE PEOPLE (or because we fear conflict), not because we're "not allowed" to "steal" a name. And what it boils down to is that there is no one who is designated caretaker of a particular name (not the parent of a child with that name, not someone who is named that name) who is allowed to decide who may and who may not use it. The name is available to any parent who wants to use it.
And I think we agree that the people who get to name the baby are that baby's parents. Other people might give input or ideas, or might hope their family traditions are followed, or might even make the mistake of volunteering names they dislike---but the parents can completely ignore all of these suggestions. So although your grandmother could certainly have mentioned her preferences, she's not actually allowed to name your future babies---or to tell you what NOT to name them, either.
To review where we are so far:
- adults should not extract these sorts of promises from children
- any such extracted promises are not binding
- your grandmother is not in charge of how her name is used
- your grandmother may not choose or forbid names for your baby
This all sounds rather harsh and anti-grandmother, doesn't it? I don't mean it to sound that way, or as if I think she was trying to do any of these things on purpose; however, I do think it's important to separate things out so that we can move on to what your actual choices are.
This brings us to #3: Do people really mean it when they say not to use their names?
The thing is, people say stuff they don't mean ALL THE TIME. We did a post recently that shows what I'm talking about: a woman wrote to us very distressed because she'd planned to name her baby after her dad---and then her dad (not knowing her plan) mentioned that he would "never forgive her" if she named a son after him. NEVER FORGIVE HER! That's strong language! If her dad had then died before she named the baby, many many people would have said they felt very very strongly that his wishes should be respected. And yet: she talked to him about it and he was embarrassed about what he'd said, and he was surprised and flattered and very pleased when she said they wanted to name the baby after him. And so they did, and everyone was happy.
That is, of course, not always going to be the situation. But my GUESS, my GUT FEELING, is that MOST of the time when people say they don't want children named after them, they don't actually mean that. Maybe they've just enjoyed many years of complaining about their name and this is another way to complain about it enjoyably, or maybe what they're saying is "I hope you won't feel like you have to use my name for a child"---but they're thinking of their name in a different way than we would be. Someone named Henry in the last generation or two might have grown up thinking they had such a dorky, ugly, old-man name---please don't name any babies after me! But now look: the name Henry is back in style and considered adorable and classic! The descendent doesn't feel OBLIGATED to use it: they genuinely love the name and WANT to use it! They're DISAPPOINTED that they have to "respect someone's wishes"!
Meanwhile, if they went ahead and used it, the always-hated-the-name ancestor would likely suddenly discover they didn't hate the name at all, and that they were intensely pleased and flattered to have it used. It might turn out that all those mentions of how much they hated their name were like when someone says "Excuse my house" or "I know I should dress more fashionably": they don't ACTUALLY feel bad about their house or their clothes, but they fear OTHERS are critical of them. Or they might be fishing for you to say you don't think their name is so bad, or they might mean "Go ahead, twist my arm!"
So usually my suggestion would be to TALK to the person saying things about their name: be earnest, and say you'd actually really LIKE to use their name---would they truly hate that? Would it OFFEND them somehow, or is it just that they can't believe anyone would want to use it?
But in your case, and in many similar cases, it isn't possible to ask. Which brings us to our last point, point #4: Once a person has died, should their wishes on "not wanting to hear their own name on a baby" still matter? If so: why? Either those wishes are now as gone as the person who had them, or else it seems highly unlikely that such things are important in the person's new eternal point of view.
Even if we imagine a person's living earthly wishes persisting into eternity, at which point do another person's wishes trump yours? I think the wish-trumping point comes down to this: Who was in charge of the decision/possession? My mother is in charge of her private journals; if she asks me to make sure they're burned after she dies, I will do that: her wishes continue to matter after she dies. My grandmother is in charge of her earrings; I wouldn't have fussed if she'd chosen to leave them to my cousin: her wishes continue to matter after she dies. I respect their wishes to do what they want with their own things, even after their lives are over.
But you are in charge of choosing your babies' names, and so your love and respect for your grandmother aren't affected by you going with your own wishes rather than following her wishes---any more than your love and respect for her would be changed by you choosing a different spouse, career, hobby, house, or piercing than she wished you to have. In this case, she would need to respect your wishes to do what you want with your own things.
To review where we are so far:
- adults should not extract these sorts of promises from children
- any such extracted promises are not binding
- your grandmother is not in charge of how her name is used
- your grandmother may not choose or forbid names for your baby
- people don't always mean what they say about not using their names
- people's wishes should be respected for their own decisions/possessions
So to me, what we have so far is pretty clear: you can name your baby whatever you want, including the name that your grandmother was named. And since she has died, this makes things both more difficult (because you can't ask her if she really meant it, and likely find out to your happiness that she didn't) and simpler (because she is not going to be angry and upset that you went against what she wanted).
It is, however, true that you can't honor both your grandmother AND the wishes she said she had. It would honor her if you used her name (even if she truly didn't want you to use it), but it would not honor her stated wishes. You will need to decide which is more important to you: honoring her through your child's name as you'd like to do, according to your own wishes; or doing what your grandmother used to say she wanted you to do, when she was alive and had wishes.
For me, it would not be difficult: I would be using the name for my own sake, because I wanted to think fondly of my grandmother every time I thought of my daughter's name, and because I wanted to say "You were named for my grandmother; I was very close to her." And because in our culture, using someone's name for a child is a way to show honor and love for someone, and I would want to do that. And because I would think it was unlikely that my grandmother would truly have been upset if I'd used her name for her dear great-granddaughter. I might feel glad that I wouldn't have to be stressed about whether or not I was right about that---but I think I would also feel confident that if my grandmother could know what I had done, that she would at this stage of her existence be pleased by it.

The Burger Deluxe
A step-by-step guide to reaching hamburger perfection, whether starting with ground beef or grinding it yourself
Experts have homed in on the humble patty as the key to making the ultimate burger. Chefs swear by their secret proportions of muscle mixtures, which often comprise meat from the chuck, short ribs, brisket, skirt, and sirloin, but can also include the knuckle and other less familiar cuts in the steer. But what if you want to make a simple, delicious burger with meat from your local market? What follows are general guidelines for getting to the perfect patty.
Chuck All the Way
For the home cook, the best beef for hamburgers comes from the chuck, the large shoulder section in the forequarter of the steer that happens to have a good proportion of muscle to fat. Fat equals flavor, and many experts will tell you that the juiciest, most flavorful burgers are made from chuck that is at least 20 percent fat.
If your store doesn't carry that proportion, don't be shy about asking for it. If fat percentages aren't listed, use your eyes: The more speckled with white the ground meat is, the more fat it contains. Also: When buying pre-ground chuck, hunt for packages whose sell-by date is the furthest on the calendar-as with most raw ingredients, the fresher the better.
The chuck's other advantage? According to Antonio Mata, Ph.D, a meat scientist and creator of a cut called the Vegas Strip Steak (for which Mata is honored on Fast Company's 2013 list of The 100 Most Creative People in Business), chuck contains more of a particular type of connective tissue that melts into rich gelatinous juices when submitted to the dry heat of a grill, and less of the more complex connective tissues that require slow, moist cooking in order for them to dissolve into gelatin.
Grind It Once
The industrial grinding process overworks ground meat because it's ground twice, first coarse and then fine, creating a texture that's almost pasty at times. Your best bet is to select a well-marbled boneless chuck steak with a good amount of fat around the outer edge, and ask the meat department to grind it for you. Be firm that you want the meat ground once, not twice, and if you like a more chunky texture, with a satisfying chew, ask for it to be ground coarse. If you want to try grinding your own burger meat, see our easy grinding guidelines and recipe.

Season Just Before Grilling
Overworking ground meat makes it tough, so a gentle hand is key. For this reason, we recommend seasoning the meat after you form your burgers. Divide the ground meat into mounds-we think a 6-ounce burger is a good size-and gently form each into a 4-inch-diameter, 3/4-inch-thick patty. (For even cooking, even cooking, the thickness matters more than the width-it shouldn't be thicker than 3/4 inch so it can cook through.) Chill the formed burgers on a wax paper-lined plate, covered, until ready to grill.
Once the grill is hot, oil one side of each burger then season the oiled side with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Place the burger on the grill, oiled and seasoned side down, then just before flipping it over, season the other side. Of course, there are many recipes that call for seasoning the meat beforehand with salt, pepper, and spices, as well as other ingredients like raw or sautéed onions, or chopped chipotles. In that case, distribute the additions as evenly as possible over the ground meat first then incorporate them as gently as possible.
Keep It Flat
Use your thumb to make a depression in the center of one side of the burger to help keep the surface level while it cooks and to keep it from puffing up. After grilling, a slight indentation may remain where the initial dip was made, but your burger will be essentially flat.
Oil the Meat, Not the Grill
There is debate among grill professionals about whether it's better to oil the hot grill grates or to lightly oil the food to keep it from sticking. When you rub the hot grill rack with an oil-soaked towel or cloth, the oil tends to burn off immediately. In our own burger experiments, a light coating of vegetable oil on the side of the burger hitting the grill first proved to be the best method for preventing sticking. If your meat is on the lean side, you might want to lightly brush the other side with oil before turning it over.
Press Your Shirt, Not Your Burger
When grilling, refrain from pressing on the meat with your spatula. You want to keep those delicious meat juices inside the patty. Resist checking the underside of your burgers every minute to see if they're browned yet and just let the burgers be-they need time to create their crust. Remember that because you didn't pack your burgers into shape, they are going to be a bit more delicate, so the less movement you subject them to, the better.
Be Direct with Medium Heat
For the home cook, grilling a burger should be an easy, stress-free process. There are plenty of intriguing, more complicated ways to cook hamburgers on the grill, and if you have the time and inclination to explore other options, you could well end up with a fabulous burger. Still, we prefer a simple straightforward approach and recommend grilling burgers over direct heat, using medium-hot charcoal or medium heat on a gas grill. High heat chars the outside of the burger before the center has had a chance to cook, whereas medium allows the burger to cook through while still developing a delicious browned crust. If your grill tends to run hot, consider lowering the heat to medium-low. And don't forget to cover the grill (charcoal or gas) while the burgers are cooking.
See more: Quick and Easy Dinners
Take Your Burger's Temperature
The only way to ensure that each burger is cooked to the United States Department of Agriculture's recommended temperature of 160°F is to use an instant-read thermometer, preferably a digital one. According to Meathead Goldwyn (his preferred name), creator of AmazingRibs.com and author of the forthcoming book, The Science of Barbecue and Grilling, a high-quality digital thermometer is an essential piece of equipment for anyone who grills. High-end digital versions like the ones chefs use can register a temperature in three seconds, but excellent affordable digital thermometers take only six seconds. You can't judge doneness by appearance because different cuts of beef when ground and cooked to the same temperature will vary in color.
To Rest or Not to Rest
Many grilling guides recommend letting hot-off-the-grill burgers rest a few minutes, so the juices can redistribute more evenly throughout the patty. Others maintain that resting allows for carryover cooking time, which is the reasoning behind those who cook their burgers to 155°F with the assumption that the meat will rise to the USDA's recommended 160°F after a few minutes. But there's plenty of debate on the matter. Dr. Mata maintains that there is no carryover cooking with something like a burger and Goldwyn's research shows that resting has no real impact on juiciness. Whatever you choose to believe, you can count on the fact that it will take a few minutes to transfer cooked hamburgers to buns, serve them up, and wait for everyone to add their favorite condiments. By the time the first bites are taken, the burgers will have had the equivalent of a brief rest.
The Burger Deluxe
makes 4 servings
Ingredients: 1 1/2 pounds ground beef chuck (20% fat), 1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt, 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, 4 slices American cheese, 4 potato rolls (such as Martin's or Oroweat)
Preparation: Divide meat into 4 equal portions (about 6 ounces each). Place 1 portion on a work surface. Cup your hands around the meat and begin to gently shape it into a rounded mound. (Use light pressure as you shape so you don't pack the meat too tightly.) Lightly press down on the top of the meat with your palm to gently flatten it. Continue rotating and cupping the meat, patting the top of it occasionally, until you've formed a 4"-diameter, 3/4"-thick patty. Using your thumb, make a small indentation in the center to help keep the burger flat as it cooks. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with remaining portions.
Build a medium-hot fire in a charcoal grill, or heat a gas grill to high. Season one side of patties with salt and pepper; place on grill, seasoned side down. Grill until lightly charred on bottom, about 4 minutes. Season other side, turn, and top with cheese. Grill to desired doneness, about 4 minutes longer for medium. Transfer burgers to buns and let stand for 3 minutes before serving.

About iOS App Programming
This document is the starting point for creating iOS apps. It describes the fundamental architecture of iOS apps, including how the code you write fits together with the code provided by iOS. This document also offers practical guidance to help you make better choices during your design and planning phase and guides you to the other documents in the iOS developer library that contain more detailed information about how to address a specific task.
The contents of this document apply to all iOS apps running on all types of iOS devices, including iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch.
At a Glance
The starting point for any new app is identifying the design choices you need to make and understanding how those choices map to an appropriate implementation.
Translate Your Initial Idea into an Implementation Plan
Every great iOS app starts with a great idea, but translating that idea into actions requires some planning. Every iOS app relies heavily on design patterns, and those design patterns influence much of the code you need to write. So before you write any code, take the time to explore the possible techniques and technologies available for writing that code. Doing so can save you a lot of time and frustration.
UIKit Provides the Core of Your App
The core infrastructure of an iOS app is built from objects in the UIKit framework. The objects in this framework provide all of the support for handling events, displaying content on the screen, and interacting with the rest of the system. Understanding the role these objects play, and how you modify them to customize the default app behavior, is therefore very important for writing apps quickly and correctly.
Apps Must Behave Differently in the Foreground and Background
An iOS device runs multiple apps simultaneously but only one app—the foreground app—has the user's attention at any given time. The current foreground app is the only app allowed to present a user interface and respond to touch events. Other apps remain in the background, usually asleep but sometimes running additional code. Transitioning between the foreground and background states involves changing several aspects of your app's behavior.
iCloud Affects the Design of Your Data Model and UI Layers
iCloud allows you to share the user's data among multiple instances of your app running on different iOS and Mac OS X devices. Incorporating support for iCloud into your app involves changing many aspects of how you manage your files. Because files in iCloud are accessible by more than just your app, all file operations must be synchronized to prevent data corruption. And depending on your app and how it presents its data, iCloud can also require changes to portions of your user interface.
Apps Require Some Specific Resources
There are some resources that must be present in all iOS apps. Most apps include images, sounds, and other types of resources for presenting the app's content but the App Store also requires some specific resources be present. The reason is that iOS uses several specific resources when presenting your app to the user and when coordinating interactions with other parts of the system. So these resources are there to improve the overall user experience.
Apps Should Restore Their Previous UI State at Launch Time
At launch time, your app should restore its user interface to the state it was in when it was last used. During normal use, the system controls when apps are terminated. Normally when this happens, the app displays its default user interface when it is relaunched. With state restoration, UIKit helps your app restore your app's interface to its previous state, which promotes a consistent user experience.
Many App Behaviors Can Be Customized
The core architecture of all apps may be the same, but there are still ways for you to tweak the high-level design of your app. Some of these tweaks are how you add specific high-level features, such as data protection and URL handling. Others affect the design of specific types of apps, such as VoIP apps.
Apps Must Be Tuned for Performance
Great apps are always tuned for the best possible performance. For iOS apps, performance means more than just writing fast code. It often means writing better code so that your user interface remains responsive to user input, your app does not degrade battery life significantly, and your app does not impact other system resources. Before you can tune your code, though, learn about the types of changes that are likely to provide the most benefit.
The iOS Environment Affects Many App Behaviors
There are aspects of iOS itself that impact how you design and write applications. Because iOS is built for mobile devices, it takes a more active role in providing security for apps. Other system behaviors also affect everything from how memory is managed to how the system responds to hardware input. All of these system behaviors affect the way you design your apps.
How to Use This Document
This document provides important information about the core objects of your app and how they work together. This document does not address the creation of any specific type of iOS app. Instead, it provides a tour of the architecture that is common to all iOS apps and highlights key places where you can modify that architecture to meet your needs. Whenever possible, the document also offers tips and guidance about ways to implement features related to the core app architecture.
This document is the entry-point guide for designing an iOS app. This guide also covers many of the practical aspects involved with implementing your app. However, this book assumes that you have already installed the iOS SDK and configured your development environment. You must perform those steps before you can start writing and building iOS apps.
If you are new to iOS app development, read Start Developing iOS Apps Today. This document offers a step-by-step introduction to the development process to help you get up to speed quickly. It also includes a hands-on tutorial that walks you through the app-creation process from start to finish, showing you how to create a simple app and get it running quickly.
See Also
For additional information related to app design, see the following documents:
For guidance about how to design an iOS app, read iOS Human Interface Guidelines. This book provides you with tips and guidance about how to create a great experience for users of your app. It also conveys the basic design philosophy surrounding iOS apps.
If you are not sure what is possible in an iOS app, read iOS Technology Overview. This book provides a summary of iOS technologies and the situations where you might want to use them. This book is not required reading but is a good reference during the brainstorming phase of your project.

Service to more than 92,000 customers restored since Friday afternoon
BALTIMORE, Feb. 8, 2010 – Baltimore Gas and Electric Company (BGE), a subsidiary of Constellation Energy (NYSE: CEG), today announced it is on target for restoring electric service by late tonight to the vast majority of customers who remain out of service as a result of last weekend's record-setting snowstorm. However, the utility advises customers that isolated outages could extend into Tuesday and new outages could occur as a result of another storm forecasted to reach Central Maryland Tuesday evening or Wednesday morning. BGE is monitoring the weather and advises customers to be prepared for additional outages associated with the approaching storm.
"As of this morning, BGE has restored electric service to more than 92,000 customers with the assistance of crews from Kentucky, Tennessee and Ohio. BGE remains fully engaged in the restoration effort and is aggressively addressing the remaining outages, which requires tedious and time consuming work, resulting in fewer customer restorations at one time, said A. Christopher Burton, senior vice president of gas and electric operations and planning for BGE. "We continue to encourage customers to call BGE at 1-877-778-2222 to report a downed wire or power outage. BGE will respond as safely and as quickly as possible."
Since storm operations began on Friday afternoon, there have been approximately 97,000 service interruptions and BGE's Call Center has responded to more than 130,000 calls. The total number of people involved in restoration activities is approximately 1,400 which includes BGE field and office personnel, contractors as well as out-of-state linemen and support staff.
As people continue the process of digging out their vehicles and clearing driveways and other areas around their homes, customers are reminded to avoid gas and electric meters and attached equipment. Meters should be kept clear of snow and ice buildup to prevent the devices from malfunctioning and possibly interfering with service. When clearing ice and snow from around meters, it is best to use a broom instead of a shovel. Customers with electric heat pumps should also clear snow and ice away from the heat pump to allow the unit to function properly.
To assist customers in managing extended outages, BGE reminds customers to keep the following items readily available:
* Flashlights – not candles
* Fresh batteries
* Battery operated clock radio
* Corded telephone
* Fully charged cell phone
* Non-perishable foods
* Blankets
Customers also should consider filling the fuel tanks of their vehicles in the event a power outage affects service to neighborhood gas stations. For our customers who rely on well water, filling a bathtub with water in advance of severe weather is strongly encouraged. Customers using a generator or space heater should follow manufacturer instructions and be sure to locate generators in well-ventilated areas.
Additionally, customers with special needs such as those who may be elderly, handicapped or dependent on electricity for medical equipment, should have alternate arrangements in place should they experience an extended power outage. BGE's restoration priorities are public safety issues and critical facilities, such as 911 centers, hospitals and pumping stations. Then restoration is generally scheduled so that the greatest number of customers can be restored as quickly and as safely as possible. However, in cases of extended power outages, consideration is also given to customers who have been without service for the longest.
Customers are reminded to always stay clear of downed wires and to call BGE at 1-877-778-2222 to report downed wires, power outages or any unsafe condition involving gas or electric delivery. For more information about BGE storm preparation and how customers can protect their families and property, go to www.bge.com.
In addition to monitoring current and approaching weather conditions which could result in service interruptions, BGE regularly conducts emergency training drills during which all aspects of storm related service restoration are tested. BGE also reviews its Electric Delivery Emergency Response Plan to ensure that storm response procedures are up-to-date and in line with industry standards.
BGE, www.bge.com, headquartered in Baltimore, is Maryland's largest gas and electric utility, delivering power to more than 1.2 million electric customers and more than 640,000 natural gas customers in Central Maryland. The company's approximately 3,000 employees are committed to the safe and reliable delivery of gas and electricity, as well as enhanced energy management, conservation, environmental stewardship and community assistance. BGE is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Constellation Energy, www.constellation.com, a FORTUNE 500 company also headquartered in Baltimore with subsidiaries that generate, sell and provide other energy-related services to customers throughout North America.

Groups on both sides of the nation's gun debate hit the streets of Raleigh Saturday.
The "No More Names: National Drive to Reduce Gun Violence" made a stop at Moore Square downtown.
The group is advocating for what they call common-sense gun laws.
Neil Heslin, whose 6-year-old son Jesse was murdered in the Newtown, CT shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary, shared his story in support of stricter gun laws. Joslin Simms, a Durham mother who lost her son to gun violence, also spoke.
U.S. Congressman David Price, Morrisville Mayor Jackie Holcombe, and members of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America and North Carolinians Against Gun Violence were also there.
On the other side of the street, and other side of the debate were members from Grass Roots North Carolina.
They held signs saying "Guns Save Lives". They say it all comes down to protecting the right for American's to own guns. They protested the No More Names rally.
Much of the debate is centered around House Bill 937 which could bring major changes involving public places guns could be taken, and processes owners must go through such as background checks. You can read the bill here.
