We examined patterns of habitat function (plant species richness), productivity (plant aboveground biomass and total C), and nutrient stocks (N and P in aboveground plant biomass and soil) in tidal marshes of the Satilla, Altamaha, and Ogeechee Estuaries in Georgia, USA. We worked at two sites within each salinity zone (fresh, brackish, and saline) in each estuary, sampling a transect from the creekbank to the marsh platform. In total, 110 plant species were found. Site-scale and plot-scale species richness decreased from fresh to saline sites. Standing crop biomass and total carbon stocks were greatest at brackish sites, followed by freshwater then saline sites. Nitrogen stocks in plants and soil decreased across sites as salinity increased, while phosphorus stocks did not differ between fresh and brackish sites but were lowest at salty sites. These results generally support past speculation about ecosystem change across the estuarine gradient, emphasizing that ecosystem function in tidal wetlands changes sharply across the relatively short horizontal distance of the estuary. Changes in plant distribution patterns driven by global changes such as sea level rise, changing climates, or fresh water withdrawal are likely to have strong impacts on a variety of wetland functions and services.

Fleet Avenue Streetscape Updates!
Like us on Facebook
Follow us on Twitter
The $8.86 MM Fleet Avenue project is underway! Karvo Paving Incorporated has started phase I of the project at the eastern end of Fleet Ave. Phase 1 will involve the repair and resurfacing of the street between Broadway and East 65th. Traffic will be limited to one lane , for eastbound traffic westbound traffic will be detoured south on East 71st, west on Harvard Ave., then north on Washington Park Boulevard. Phase I is expected to be complete in a few short months, by January 2015.
Phase II will include the bulk of the project. This will involve the removal and replacement of the existing roadway and sidewalk between Independence Road and E. 65th Street. This second phase also consists of new streetscape features including a new landscaped entry median, colored crosswalks, landscape planters, wayfinding signage, ADA ramps, traffic signals, street furniture, and bike lanes. Additionally, a new $1.8 MM bioswale and park will be installed at E. 53rd Street. This will be built as an important component of the NEORSD efforts to reduce run off in the combined sewer overflows. Plans also call for traffic calming measures such as curb bump-outs at intersections to narrow the distance of pedestrian crosswalks and to preserve on-street parking. Phase II is expected to be complete July 2016.
Fleet Avenue will remain open to traffic though out the entire construction project. All properties and local businesses will remain open and accessible; to avoid traffic congestion it is suggested to approach local businesses via the north and south connector streets. Although street parking on Fleet Avenue will be limited, all local businesses will maintain access to their parking facilities.

I have a bit of a brag and then a question. Corbyn stood behind her princess scooter yesterday and pushed it!!!! YEA!!! This COMPLETELY came out of no where!!! Of course she was really unsteady but she had her feet going like crazy. She got so excited . . . like she KNEW she was doing big girl stuff! She started standing up last week but I really thought it would be a while before she would attempt to walk because she really had no interest in it last week. OMG!! I certainly have my running shoes on now!!!!
My question is: Is it okay to have her practice walking around in socked feet or should she have shoes on all the time now? I read somewhere that they should not have shoes or socks on constantly but it seems like she should have shoes on to walk around. Should we just be doing a mixture of both? What did you do??

I'm looking for pointers on how to add a capability to a specific user role without using plugins.
For example if I'd like Editors to be able to edit and add users, I thought something like:
function give_user_edit() {
if(current_user_can('edit_others_posts')) {
global $wp_roles;
$wp_roles->add_cap('editor','edit_users' );
$wp_roles->add_cap('editor','create_users' );
add_action('admin_init', 'give_user_edit', 10, 0);
Would work, but it seemed to add the capabilities for everyone.
Any pointers greatly appreciated.

I like this masque, its a gel formula, so pleasant to use. Hasn't done wonders or anything like that for my eyes, but its cooling and hydrating so that's good enough for me. Next masque I would like to get is one of the Sisley ones, they have a eye masque which is supposed to be excellent.

I am susprised there is so little reviews on this mask,it is very nice mask which I am using while doing facials. I dont know how it works for reducing eye bags and dark circles as I dont have any but it is nice for moisturizing,it does nice. I like that it is in tube as it is very hygienic,and it really last me long time about 2 years,I used very little twice a week.Yes I would buy again.

This is the best mask for dark under- eye circles and puffiness. I use it as my esthetician advised over night, especially if I know that I'm gonna have eye bags (normally if I don't have much time to sleep, or ate some salty food or drank wine). Works wonders! May be, there is a better product out there, but so far I find this one is the best.

This mask is truly AMAZING. I have very dry, itchy, irritated and puffed up eyelids. I put this mask on chilled and it is like a peace of heaven!! The effect is almost immediate. It stops the itching, de-puffs the eyelids, reduces redness and hydrates the skin. This mask must definitely be used CHILLED. I keep mine in the fridge and use it every morning and whenever my eyelids feel puffed-up or tired. It refreshes the eyes and moisturises the eyelids. I leave it for 10 minutes and wipe off excess with a cold wet cloth. Do not exceed 20 minutes as it is quite potent.
The texture of this mask is somewhere between a gel and a cream and smells very nice. The mask contains Horse Chestnut and other botanical extracts that help puffiness and dark circles. The mask is quite gentle and doesn�t sting in anyway. It is also ophthalmically tested and is suited for contact lens wearers.
I highly recommend this to anyone who has puffy or irritated eyelids.
UPDATE: after 6 months of daily use I can honestly say I could not live without this mask. I am increasing the lippies from 4 to 5.
UPDATE2: a year on and three tubes later and I stand by every word I said. This product delivers where others fail.

This is good for soothing your tired eyes. Note that it only makes skins around your eyes kinda relaxing. But you could get the same effect from using cld cucumbers. Not irritating so far. I wish it could deliver other benefits like reducing eye bags and dark circles.

Ben, Olivia and I left Ithaca at 8am
A rare moment when I was in front.
We took some nice back roads on our way to Spencer.
I thought tandems were supposed to be slow on climbs.
Reminded me of the hog I saw on D2R2. The little one was very cute. The goat in the background is limping.
A cow observed attentive.
The full picture. Notice the little lamb playing hide-and-seek.

We meet the rest of the FLCCers in Spencer: Steve , Olivia and Ben, Sam, Mike and the new Mike.
Along Halsey Valley Rd.
Source? I wonder what the uncertainty in these numbers is?
What about that for a view?
I wonder why these cyclists are on the wrong side of the road.
We were rolling at a pretty good clip for the first 20 miles.
Just as we turned on 17C.
Already on the way back, Dean Creek Rd.

Investors need to see things from different angles
Are you being fiscally responsible?
Join the NASDAQ Community today and get free, instant access to portfolios, stock ratings, real-time alerts, and more!
While the American market continues to chug along, many are
becoming more pessimistic regarding international markets. Growth
levels are slowing in a number of key countries, and a strong
dollar isn't helping matters either, dulling the appeal of
foreign securities.
Thanks to this trend, some investors are looking to reduce
their foreign holdings, or even go short in these rocky markets.
One new way to do this in ETF form is by taking a closer look at
the brand new
Athena International Bear ETF (
from AdvisorShares.
HDGI in Focus
This new ETF looks to generate capital appreciation through
short sales of international equities. Currently, the product
holds about 50 securities short in its portfolio, putting no more
than 10% of the short position into any single security (also
Time for Inverse Bond ETFs?
Stocks are selected for the portfolio thanks to behavioral
research, using AthenaInvest Advisors' patented system. This
research measures manager behavior, strategy consistency and
conviction, and it also evaluates which stocks are held in top
and bottom relative weight positions within the equity
Additionally, the portfolio manager will also utilize equity
manager and investor behavior factors in order to determine the
most attractive markets and capitalization ranges for their short
choices. Once this is done, the stocks that rank the lowest from
the conviction holdings list receive allocations in the fund,
based on market cap.
This process is obviously more intensive than what many other
corners of the ETF world use in their fund construction
process, so higher expenses should be expected here. Currently,
management fees come in at 1.35%, while short interest expense
(0.5%) and other expenses (.26%) push the gross expense ratio up
to 2.11%. However, there is a fee waiver of 11 basis points while
the advisor has promised to keep net expenses from exceeding 1.5%
for at least a year from the date of the prospectus (if not
How does it fit in a portfolio?
Investors looking to short international markets may find this
ETF to be a compelling choice, as it looks to have decent
underlying liquidity thanks to its focus on ADRs and other
securities on US exchanges. Plus, the use of active
management-and especially the 'tactical overlay'-could help to
select better stocks for short candidates (also read

pricier than its competitors, and even many inverse

on shorting securities that have low earnings quality, or are
utilizing aggressive accounting practices. The product has over
$200 million in assets under management despite its relatively
lofty 3.3% net expense ratio (read
Hedge Your Portfolio with the Equity Bear ETF
This fund isn't really that appropriate of a competitor
though, as it has a very different focus and methodology, though
it does show that there is clearly some interest in the shorting
individual stocks technique.
There are, however, a plethora of options in the inverse
market that can provide short exposure to foreign securities. In
particular, HDGI could see some competition from
which follows a short MSCI EAFE Index or the more specialized
which offers short exposure to emerging markets.
Both of these ETFs charge investors 95 basis points a year in
fees, and reset on a daily basis. Additionally, both
members of the duo have more than $100 million in assets,
suggesting that they are relatively popular with investors (see

Given this, it may be somewhat difficult for HDGI to build up
assets, at least initially thanks to its elevated expense ratio.
However, if the domestic HDGE is any guide, there is clearly some
interest in the approach, and with struggling international
markets, HDGI could begin to make a name for itself in time as

Arctic Summer
Who Should Benefit From Global Warming?
The countries of Asia are looking north, toward the Arctic. At last year's Arctic Council ministerial meeting, held in May in Sweden, applications for permanent observer status were accepted from China, India, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, as well as Italy. In the run-up to this year's meeting, all eyes will be on the observers. It is difficult to exaggerate the significance of the council's expansion to Asia, particularly to the continent's powerhouses -- China, Japan, and India -- which underscores the Arctic's strategic value to the global economy.
For a long time, the Arctic received short shrift on the global agenda. Not so today. A potent combination of natural variation, greenhouse gas emissions, and other changes to the environment over the past two decades have accelerated the melting of Arctic ice. In fact, global warming is progressing twice as fast in the Arctic as anywhere else. The quality and thickness of sea ice there brings these changes into sharp relief. In the Arctic today, most of the ice is what scientists term first-year ice, which is on average 1.5 meters thick. This is in marked contrast to old ice or multi-year ice, which is usually around 4.5 meters thick. Not only is first-year ice thinner, it also contains more brine cells and air pockets, all of which makes it easier for ice-breakers to cut through. Climate change thus portends the potential opening up of a passage along the northern coast of Eurasia connecting the Atlantic and

Thorn referred to an ancient, dark, supernatural phenomenon that bestowed great power upon someone who was inflicted with its curse, dating back to the time of the Druids.
Cult of ThornEdit
The Cult of Thorn was a cult of druids whose activity spans over several millennia. The nature of cult is different, depending on which version seen of Halloween 6. In the theatrical version, the Smith's Grove Sanitarium crew are more interested in harvesting and exploitng the power of Thorn through DNA, becoming merely cult geneticists relating the rune of Thorn to modern science and using Michael Myers' DNA during their own experiments.
The Sanitarium has been using the women of the institution for their experiments by possibly performing in vitro fertilization on them with embryos artificially inheriting Michael's DNA. Jamie's son Steven is the result of these experiements, and Dr. Wynn implies that the sanitarium will use Michael, Danny, and Steven to further understand Thorn on the genetic level.In the Producer's Cut of Halloween 6 they are in fact the original druid Cult of Thorn, comprised of many Haddonfield residents. In this version, Steven is intended to be Michael's final sacrifice (since innocent blood is needed for the ceremony), and the curse will then be passed on to Danny, who is to immediately sacrifice his mother Kara. Moreover, a flashback shows that Steven was conceived by the cult having Jamie raped by Michael, rather than through artificial insemination. In the theatrical version, it's possible that Kara was instead kidnapped for the cult to perform their IVF experiments on her.
Known MembersEdit
Curse of ThornEdit
The Curse of Thorn is often associated with a constellation that could appear during Halloween. In the time of the Druids, to prevent mass death among the tribes, one family was chosen to bear the curse. This curse would require the bearer to sacrificially murder his or her entire family on the night of Samhain (All Hallow's Eve), which in turn would spare their community from disastrous events such as plague and drought. The curse also appears to give the cursed inhuman strength and immunity from death.
The curse was greatly explored in the Producer's Cut of Halloween 6, with more importance given to Dr. Wynn and his Cult.

The fact that all the girls in How Do You Want Me? are so smokin? hot makes up for the fact that it is a POV title, rather than an interactive one, and putting full trust in Vouyer to put the girls in some nice positions proves rewarding from the very first frame.

text: Stall Like You've Never Seen It Before Introduction It started with Keldeo, then you had the Therian Formes, then Genesect came along. Then Sheer Force Landorus starting surprising the shit out of people. Now the cuckoos at PO want to retest Kyerum B? Haha..hopefully the ever-changing metagame has made its last changes. I seriously do not enjoy constantly having to re-tweak and modify my team to keep up with some of these borderline Uber threats. But hey thats what Stall is for right? Now most people know by now that I love using Snorlax as my main special defensive wall. For this team I decided to give a shot at a Stall team without the Great Wall of Fat. The first teams I tested sans-Snorlax just didnt have a good enough defensive presence to take on a wide variety of threats. It seemed that in order to make up for Snorlaxs lost presence I had to run 3 steel mons to provide my team with a powerful sp. defensive and defensive core. Snorlax shined in countering SmashPass teams, but for this squad, the plan is to get Toxic Spikes up quickly and since i have many mons running protect and Substitute, its just good ol' Stall tactics the rest of the way. It took many tests and moveset changes to arrive at this current team. I dont think this squad will be undergoing any future changes. For now this is one of my better Stall teams for the current metagame. So let me get into the basics.... Ferrothorn (M) @ LeftoversTrait: Iron Barbs EVs: 252 HP / 128 Def / 128 SDef Relaxed Nature (+Def, -Spd) - Leech Seed - Protect - Power Whip - Spikes Standard defensive Ferrothorn Set. Usually I liked to run a surprise item on my Ferrothorn like Occa Berry or Shed Shell, but since I have 2 other steel types to sponge choiced dragon attacks I figured I might as well go with a Ferrothorn that provided better longevity. Provided I dont need Ferro later in the battle, he normally acts as my primary switch in to Rotom-W. Having protect to scout Rotom really comes in handy for obvious reasons. With a well balanced EV spread Ferrothorns primary responsibilities are to counter Gyarados, sponge water attacks and lay hazards if its safe to do so. Alright... say I dont get toxic spikes up in time and Keldeo decided it wants to sweep my team. Modest 252sp.attk Keldeo Secret Sword at +1 deals 84.1%-99.4% to my Ferrothorn, so his chances at 1HKO'ing ferrothorn if just rocks are up is 0. I am usually on the receiving side of Ferrothorns annoying tactics, so its nice to actually be dishing it out this time. Tentacruel (F) @ Black Sludge Trait: Rain Dish EVs: 236 HP / 216 Def / 36 SAtk / 20 Spd Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk) - Toxic Spikes - Scald - Protect - Rapid Spin I know. The days of Acid Spray/Giga Drain Tentacruel are gone. I decided to take advantage of Rain Dish this time and also run protect. I went with a defensive Tentacruel since my team is pretty fighting weak. Cruel can take banded uturns and can act as a back up check to SD scizor if it so happens to be running jolly and outspeeds my Heatran. Adamant 252attk CB Close Combat from Terrakion does around 40%, so while he doesnt take them too comfortably he at least doesnt get 2 hit KO by it. Tentacruel's primary responsibilities are obviously to spin, set up toxic spikes if they will greatly help the team and sponge as many uturns as possible. Bronzong @ Leftovers Trait: Levitate EVs: 240 HP / 208 Def / 60 SAtk Relaxed Nature (+Def, -Spd) - Stealth Rock - Hidden Power [Ice] - Earthquake - Toxic What an underrated Pokemon Bronzong is. He is the sole centerpiece of my stalling efforts in this current metagame. Acrobat Gliscor-Check, Sheer Force Landorus-Check, Tornadus in rain-Check, Mamoswine-Check, Salamence-Check, DD Dragonite-Check. I could go on forever. With Bronzong's Steel typing, many resistances and immunity to Ground attacks and hazards, he was a must have for this team. Bronzong can also help my toxic stalling efforts by inducing toxic on certain mons that dont expect it. I almost decided to remove stealth rocks for Skill Swap for those certain situations and primarily for CM Reuniclus since my team is very weak against it. But the Tyranitar set I will soon reveal was just too hard to pass up on, hence Bronzong had to be my Stealth Rocks carrier. Also for sun teams with Dugtrio its better to have SR on someone other than Tyranitar. Gengar (M) @ Black Sludge Trait: Levitate EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk) - Substitute - Hypnosis - Shadow Ball - Focus Blast Simply put, whenever Im running a grass mon that doesnt carry a sleep inducing move and Gengar on the same team, more than likely said Gengar will be running Sub/Hypnosis. The set is very low risk, high reward in my opinion. Think of a faster, meaner looking Breloom with better coverage. I know Ive explained it many times, but the theory behind the set is simple. Gengar has fighting, ground, and normal immunities. If you happen to switch into a choiced attack that is resisted or into any mon that doesnt want to deal with Gengar, then after setting substitute you will have 2 shots at landing Hypnosis. If the first misses and you dont want to risk losing Gengar, then switch out. Im no probability expert but I believe if first 60% chance fails, then the chance of it activating on the 2nd shot rises to 84%. But like I said I never looked into it myself. If you happen to land Hypnosis on a mon that walls Gengar like Jirachi or Gastrodon, just switch immediately to the appropriate mon that will threaten the check, namely Heatran and Ferrothorn, respectively. If I can manage to double switch my Gengar into a Xatu, I can really turn the tide against a sun team with a landed Hypnosis. This Gengar also shines in punishing teams using Deoxys lead. Heatran (F) @ Leftovers Trait: Flash Fire EVs: 212 HP / 136 SDef / 160 Spd Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk) - Substitute - Protect - Lava Plume - Torment A set that definitely needs to see more use in the OU metagame. If Heatran is near full health and I managed to get up toxic spikes or toxic enough pokes earlier in the battle, then Heatran's red eyes are seeing "good game." Without a hard counter or phazer to impede it, Torment Tran can easily stall out multiple pokes if he needs to. If you so happen to be burned or toxic'd, then facing this thing can be a hair pulling experience for you. Need I mention that this thing is basically the best Genesect check around. While I can definitely use Heatran to sponge dragon attacks and the occasional expected Tornadus Hurricane, I usually like to save my Heatran for late game cleanup stalling after all hazards have been set and all spinners have been eliminated. Tyranitar (F) @ Leftovers Trait: Sand Stream EVs: ? HP / ? SDef / ? Spd Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk) - Block - Dragon Dance - Rest - Rock Slide Alright. Here We Go. The "Wild Card" of this team. The featured Gimmick shall you say. I really never wanted to reveal this set, because much of the sucess of it relies on it being a total surprise, but what type of RMT would it be if I left a poke out. Anyway, I remember a guy using this set on me a couple of times in the early days of PO. As laughable as it seems, it actually does have some great uses. I cannot disclose the exact EV spread, but I can tell you that HP and Sp. Def are good enough to take weak scalds from Jellicent or Politoed and Tentacruel in sand, effortlessly. With this set obviously I dont have to worry about the 107% scald burn rate. This Tyrantiar can switch into a Tentacruel and just dare it to stay in and spin. With its ability to fend off weak scalds and rest off any burns, water type spinners like Blastoise, Tentacruel, and Starmie, if not LO Hydropump, can be trapped and eliminated, thus clearing the path for Tentacruel, Ferrothorn, and Bronzong to go Hazard-crazy on the opponent. As I said before if standard bulky politoed ever dares to stay in on Tyranitar in sand becuse he thinks he can get lucky with a burn, and you manage to block and set up on it, then the weather war should be won right then and there. Just get to +3 or +4, rest when needed and take it out. It is nearly impossible to lose the weather war against rain if youre using this Tyranitar set. The decision to go with this Tyranitar was made primarily because I needed a mon to act as a reliable status fodder. In the event that Ferrothorn is ever burned, then bulky waters like Milotic, Jellicent and Vaporeon could really run a number on my team, but with Sp. Def DD Blocking Tyrantiar that threat was taken care of. Closing Remarks Alright guys there you have it. This Stall team has definitely proven its worth against even the best Hyper Offense teams on the PO ladder (I really dont know how competitive "Showdown" is at the moment. Not to mention many of Smogons best battlers now battle primarily at PO anyway). I mentioned earlier the gaping CM Reuniclus weakness, but Torment Tran can stall that to a degree. Feel free to rate and let me know of any other big holes in this team.

Advice from a church sports leader released after 14 years of service
Chris Mecham has helped organize dozens of basketball, softball and volleyball tournaments, as well as officiating in countless games during his 14 years of involvement with LDS Church sports including as a stake athletic director, regional director and most recently as one of the Utah Salt Lake City Area directors.
"I loved being in sports – could have been there all my life," said Mecham, who has recently been released. "I'm a gym rat and love being in that environment. I'm a little jealous of those of you who still get to work in the program. Church sports was the funnest thing I've ever done and therefore the easiest calling I've ever served in. What do I like about church sports? I appreciate good athletes, a well run program and great sportsmanship. I've seen all of that in my years of service."
Long before that, he participated as a competitor, starting as a youth. Through it all he's been a patient leader who has given enormous amounts of time to help the program achieve its potential in changing people's lives for the better.
The following are his answers to questions about how to keep the church sports program effective.
Q: Some people get aggravated at church sports because of poor sportsmanship issues, as well as the time and trouble involved in organizing schedules. Is it worth the effort?
"Definitely. Some of my best friendships have come from church sports. For example, 18 years ago the group of men I played with was extremely competitive, as was another ward in our stake. It was win-at-all-costs, and our sportsmanship wasn't the best. But then one night after a church basketball game a player on the opposing team, Dee Berrett, said to our team, 'Hey, we're going to stop at McDonald's after the game – you guys want to come along?' It was kind of shocking, but some of us went with them. After getting some food, we joked, visited and gave each other a hard time. It was a lot of fun, and it started a friendship among those guys. While we didn't all become best friends, Dee and I did. Even now I talk to him frequently, even though his assignment in the Church Educational System took him to Logan a number of years ago. I know I can count on Dee for anything — he's just that great a friend."
Q: So did this evening at McDonald's have an impact on your two teams' sportsmanship?
"It did. We still played hard to win, but the difference was that no one did anything to hurt anybody. We played like crazy but with respect. It's hard to get as uptight when you know the personalities of the people you're competing with because you know them in a context outside of the game."
Q: That sounds interesting. Can it be applied to sportsmanship in general?
"I really think it can. My view of people has broadened considerably since officiating in church sports. I used to view all sports through the lens of a player, and all that mattered was that our team was successful. The people I played with were important to me, but I wasn't concerned about the strangers we played. Then I got called to serve as the stake sports specialist, and pretty soon I was having meetings with other ward directors and coaches, and I found that they were really just like the guys on my team; they liked each other and just wanted to have a good experience. So, I became interested in their success as well. Then I was called to the area position, and pretty soon I had friends all up and down the Wasatch Front. Somehow the Lord expands your heart to accept a much broader group of friends, and I was concerned for all of them. It was really a great experience."
Q: How can this insight help those who still serve in church sports?

I have page in my website that lists all projects thumbs. When a particular thumb (project) is clicked, Fancybox loads project's details in iframe. All works great! (Content in iframe DOES NOT include navigation, header and other website elements.)
The problem I have is with Google search results page - Google indexed all details pages, and now when user clicks the link from Google results, details content page is opened in browser (instead Fancybox iframe). That is bad since details page does not iclude navigation pages.
Any user friendly solution?

Can young Catholics tweet their way to heaven? Not exactly: there's a catch
CINCINNATI - Following the Pope on Twitter won't exactly lead to less time in Purgatory for Catholics, but it could help.
Pope Francis is inviting young Catholics to be involved with World Youth Day, and if they can't make it to Brazil, they can do so via social networks.
World Youth Day takes place from July 22-29 in Rio de Janeiro, and the Pope is offering a Plenary Indulgence to participants. An indulgence is something that buys Catholics less time in Purgatory, and the @Pontifex is offering them to those truly following along on their smartphones.
Here is our Cardinal Manuel Monteiro de Castro explained it on the Vatican's website:
In other words, a tweet is not a free pass.
We first told you about this story on Good Morning Tri-State, and several @WCPO Twitter followers weighed in with their takes on the news, with some saying that a follow isn't exactly a free pass through the pearly gates.
- @Ampatriot tweeted: I guess if you follow him, you can sneak in the Gates…?
- @MattSwaim tweeted: Lots of misunderstanding RE:what the Vatican said, and what indugences are. The real story: http://www.ewtn.com/vnews/getstory.asp?number=126054 …
- @MorningAnna tweeted: It's actually for saying special prayers for World Youth Day & following via media.

Keeper of the Peace
Navy Chaplain Abuhena Saifulislam Tends to a Challenging Flock: Taliban Prisoners
That has been a tall order for Saifulislam, 40, one of only three Muslims among the 874 chaplains in the Navy. Since late January he has been charged with ministering to a flock that would challenge any clergyman: the 300 al-Qaeda and Taliban detainees brought to Camp X-Ray from the battlefields of Afghanistan—plus the nearly 1,700 men and women assigned to guard them. "He has taken what could be an extremely volatile situation," says Marine Brig. Gen.
Michael Lehnert, the commander of the task force who brought Saifulis- lam aboard, "and lowered the tensions through his work."
Saifulislam landed at the camp 12 days after Joint Task Force 160 began airlifting the prisoners—reported to be among Afghanistan's most ruthless anti-U.S. fighters—to Cuba, a time when photos of blindfolded inmates made the military's treatment of prisoners a hot-button issue. "There was a lot of tension in the beginning," says Saifulislam, who was summoned after top brass realized they were ill-prepared to understand the religious needs of their Muslim captives, such as prayer schedules, dress codes' and dietary restrictions. Saifulislam did witness a few minor incidents of prisoners shouting and spitting at guards. But as for criticism that U.S. soldiers callously disregarded the religious needs of detainees, he says flatly, "I have not seen any mistreatment."
Saifulislam serves as a sort of religious translator, calling detainees to prayer, counseling them and training their guards in cultural sensitivity. In one incident, a guard took a sheet a prisoner had wrapped around his waist to pray—a common Muslim display of modesty. That led more than 150 of the prisoners to launch a hunger strike, but the chaplain was able to intervene, telling General Lehnert, "It's a small thing. And if there is no security issue, why not?"
Yet Saifulislam emphasizes that his role is not to represent the prisoners. "I am not their spokesperson," he says. In some cases he has been able to persuade detainees that their interpretation of jihad is not consistent with traditional Islamic teachings. Many more, however, reject his ministering and remain fervently anti-American. But even they receive his counsel. "I'm not a perfect person," he says, "but I give it my best."
His capacity to make connections in such extreme conditions comes from a life of crossing cultures. Born near Dhaka in Bangladesh, the fifth of eight children of a businessman and his homemaker wife, young Saifulislam attended a high school run by Catholic missionaries. After college and graduate school in Bangladesh, he went to New Hampshire College in Manchester and got an M.B.A. He joined the Navy in 1992.
While working as a petty officer at the Pentagon the following year, he learned the Navy needed Muslim chaplains. He enrolled part-time in a Leesburg, Va. , theological school. In the meantime, his parents, following Bangladeshi custom, had arranged a 1993 marriage to Kaniz Fatema, now 31, who was studying medicine in Bangladesh. Saifulislam earned his U.S. citizenship in 1995, and in 1997 his wife, by then an internist, joined him in the U.S. He was ordained as an imam—the Muslim equivalent of a minister—in May 1999, soon becoming a Navy chaplain at Camp Pendleton near San Diego.
Though Saifulislam's wife—back in San Diego with daughter Taharah, 2—worries about him, she takes comfort from his counsel. "In a stressful situation," she observes, "he says, 'Have faith in God and be strong. You will overcome it.' "
By all accounts, Saifulislam has done just that. "I think he has kept a lot of incidents from happening by being here," says Army Col. Terry Car-rico, first commander of Camp X-Ray. But even as he plays peacemaker, Saifulislam still struggles with his own anger and disbelief over how the Muslim hijackers could have done what they did in the name of Allah. "When people ask me why and how, my immediate answer is, I don't know,' " he says. "I am still looking for that answer."

Simply Stunning , again congrats

Here's a few shots our photog took at our wedding today. There's another of my pistol packin' brother revealing his CC rig, but I don't have all the images from the photog yet. More to come later!
Good friend Preacherman from CombatCarry/THR/TFL was our preacher. Of course, he was packing.
I decided not to, and really couldn't in my dress unless it was an ankle holster, and that wouldn't have worked too well under thin silk anyway.
Our wedding was a small, private ceremony of close family and friends and was at noon today.
Thank you for all your warm wishes - we are truly happy to be married.
And now.... all my guns are his guns.
And now... I'm getting back to my shiny new husband.
"Americans have the will to resist because you have weapons. If you don't have a gun, freedom of speech has no power." - Yoshimi Ishikawa
congrats. Hope for many years of bliss for the 2 of you.
Looks like it was a great day! Family and close friends is the only way to go.
Congratulations to you both!
Train and train hard, you might not get a second chance to make a first impression!

Congrats Betty to you and your husband. May you both walk life's path side by side not one in front of the other.
Huzah, I would have thrown in a 21-gun salute after the ceremony! :)
Well Betty - what can I say. The dress must have knocked out everyone and - as for you - stunning - absolutely stunning.
So happy for you guys.

Well, Mrs. Shonts....Great photos. You (of course) looked smashingly ravishing in your traditional form fitting wedding dress. Looks like it was a beautious wedding. Congrats.
My wife just chimed in (I called her over to look at your photos)
She also wishes you and hubby a very happy lifetime together.

My sincere wishes for a long and happy life together.
As my forefathers would say....felicidades y Dios les bendiga! (congratulations and God bless)!

Congratulations MrsShonts and MrShonts! I wish you both many years of bliss.
I am rather shocked, though, that you were not carrying, Betty. Granted, your wedding ceremony was probably packing enough combined firepower to conquer Belgium, so there was no need to be concerned about safety. It's just... didn't it feel odd to not have a gun when almost everyone around you has one? Just curious. Or goofing around, I'm not sure.
Where are you going to spend your honeymoon?
Best wishes again!

Do not hire this lawyer! She is very unprofessional and disrespectful! I hired her 3 years ago for my immigration case and paid her $1500 up front but she ended up not picking up my calls. She did lots of mistakes on my application for example putting my father's name where it says to put my name but thank God I ended up hiring another lawyer that helped me throughout my case. she and her secretary started being super mean to me after I paid her my money up front.
Posted by a client
Do somebody knows if her office still open for business? Been trying to contact here for Last couple months and no answer back... last time we talked, it was when she requested for more money. It's really hard to to reach at her... how am I supposed to trust someone that never answer me ? Wish I could get my money back so I can hire someone else...
Posted by Sarah N.
My mom hired her first for a traffic case in Gwinnett for a traffic ticket. Ms. Hendrix got that dismissed and then handled my moms and then my immigration case and then a D.U.I. in our family recently. Although I wished she would have called me more-she did return my emails so that was fine.
Posted by Jake N.
She talked me into going to trial. I really thought I'd plea. She thought we could get a not guilty. We did go to trial (she called me the night before to talk about jury questions and what I should wear!). After she talked to the jury-we went to lunch and when we came back they DISMISSED my case. I am glad they leave me alone now.

I hired Ms. Hendrix because my fiancé was being held by immigration because he had a domestic violence conviction and an immigration hold. Ms. Hendrix filed a Habeas in Clayton County and got the judge to sign it saying that my fiancé's conviction was unconstitutional. Mrs. Hendrix drove the order to immigration court, got his case dismissed and got I.C.E. to release him. My fiancé wanted to go with a lawyer that was less expensive- I think he felt bad because he wasn't supporting us- but a friend recommended Ms. Hendrix and I see why! She saved my family and I told Ms. Hendrix she ended our nightmare.
Posted by David J.
Mrs. Hendrix represented me in court. I was scared and really wanted to plea-but she thought we could win at trial-and we did. She was very good in court and I think the jury liked her. I thought she charged a lot-more than a couple of other attorneys but she ended being worth it I think. I do wish I could have talked to her more, but all in all I am glad I hired her.
Posted by a Immigration client
I have worked with this person for 3 of my cases. My first ever case was done completly but that was because I never paid her in full. I ran into another immigration problem 2 years later and I decided to use Mrs. Hendrix since I did trust her in doing my paper work. The biggest mistake that I committed was paying her in full up front, giving her the trust that I believe we had with one another. From that point on thier was never any updates or calls in reference to my case. Thier were some forms emailed to us to fill out and we completed them and send them back to her. She metnioned that she will send these files to IRS and will get in contact with us. She till this day and after all the emails and calls I continue to make I have not gotten a proper response. It seems like everytime I call the receptionist states the same phrase over and over, "She is busy and she will contact you as soon as possible". I find this firm to be very unorganize and not professional at all. I believe that Mrs. Hendrix does have knowledge and experience when it comes to court and laws, but I find her customer service and promises to be very awful. I really do wish that she could take us serious since the money has been paid for and getting a refund will not make any difference and getting my siutation fixed. I highly doubt that I am the only one who has expiernece this corruption and I hope by this review that I could prevent from this corruption from occuring.
Posted by S. George
We tried to hire her years ago-and because there wasn't any immigration law for us-she wouldn't let us hire her. She told us we would be wasting our money. I wish I would have listened to her-because we did hire a lawyer-who said they would do all this stuff-and they didn't do anything. Now that immigration law changed-we hired and her and our entire family now has work authorizations and will hopefully be able to be Legal Permanent Residents soon.

We hired Ms. Hendrix years ago and we are happy that we did. She's a great trial attorney-we had immigration court and she stood up for us when the immigration judge wouldn't even let me get a word in edge wise. I refer her to our friends when anyone asks and they are happy with her.

Ms. Hendrix was a great attorney. We met with other lawyers, but she was the best by far. She listened to us and knew what she was doing. She really cared about our problem. And she worked really hard to work things out as fast as she could. I dont think things would have turned out as well as they did if we had used a different lawyer.

LAWRENCE, Kan. -- Rock stars don't even get this kind of treatment.
OK, maybe Bono, Sting and the Boss can command an awesome reception when they walk out onto the floor -- or stage -- of a sold-out arena darkened in the stands except for a spotlight on the performer.
But, then again, those three music icons might finish second to Bill Self here in Lawrence, at least these days.
Self's reception this past Friday night for "Late Night in the Phog" was one usually reserved for legends. And the Kansas first-year coach who has taken two programs (Tulsa and Illinois) to the Elite Eight in the past four years struggled to get out his words when he took the court after his Clintonian-like introduction.
Yes, the scene was akin to the Bill Clinton video montage and drawn-out entrance of the former President at the 2000 Democratic National Convention. Those in Los Angeles that night were rallying around a new leader for the partisan Democrats hoping to hold on to the White House.
This night was about Kansas' fans hoping they'd found the right chief executive officer of their state's most treasured institution.
"It was overwhelming,'' Self said.
Give the Kansas athletic department credit. It did a wonderful job editing Self's speech from his April news conference when he was hired. The clips were powerful, and built his arrival Friday night to a crescendo:
"I woke up this morning and I was driving to the office. On purpose, I drove up Naismith Drive. I always thought, 'How cool would it be to have an office on Naismith Drive?' Now it actually gets to happen."
Dramatic pause, cut to black.
"This program is so big. This program is bigger than one player and it is bigger than one coach. You have been spoiled. You have had a coach (Roy Williams) here for the past 15 years that has done a remarkably great job. He has done it with class and dignity and his performance on the court certainly equals the performance off the court."
Pause ... fade to black.
"It is a tough act to follow. But you know something, Larry Brown was a tough act to follow."
Pause. Black.
"Ted Owens, who went to two Final Fours, was a tough act to follow."
Pause. Black.
"Phog Allen was a tough act to follow.'"
Pause. Black.
"The guy who started it all, Dr. Naismith, was a tough act to follow."
Pause. Black.
"I see this as a great opportunity to sit, in my opinion, in the most prestigious chair in all of college basketball. I am looking forward to that.
Pause. Black.
"There's no place like Kansas."
And with that, the thunderous roar of the crowd took over. Everything was scripted as if a Hollywood or music producer was hiding in the bowels of the arena.
For Kansas' fans, there's no coach like Bill Self. They got the one they wanted when Williams left his adopted home for his native Carolina. And now Self must live up to the incredible hype that he has received.
"Fans will tell you that this is our year," said Self, sitting in what was Williams' palatial office that almost seems too big for the more pedestrian Self. "But when the team (Kansas) just misses some free throws and has a bad shooting night in the final game, wasn't that our year? When arguably one of the best players (Wayne Simien) doesn't play the second half of the season then that's a pretty good year. It's a different mentality here.
"We've talked about everything but basketball since I got the job. I'm very anxious to get going. It's going to be a lot of fun."
No matter where he's coached, Self has found a way to connect with his players. He is personable, but also tough. He demands excellence, but more than that, he craves exceptional effort.
The Jayhawks slapped a new logo on the Fieldhouse floor, altered the uniforms and tweaked a few other things in the locker room. But the biggest change is the man on the bench, and Self will get his way of doing things into these players' heads, if he hasn't already .
"Coach Self keeps telling these guys that we're not a team yet," said longtime Self assistant Norm Roberts. "He said we wouldn't be until we go through some things. But it will happen."
The players talk about how this Kansas team is a bit more relaxed. Many of the Jayhawks, however, will begin a season with uncertainty about what is on the horizon. Remember, this is a group that's come back to Lawrence from the Final Four without a national title the past two Aprils. It's also a team starting its first season since 1999 without All-Americans Kirk Hinrich or Nick Collison in town.
"One of the things we try to do is make them feel uncomfortable," Self said of his mind games early in the season. "Whatever their limits were, we try to stretch them a bit and make them not really sure. We've got them uncomfortable right now.
"When you're comfortable, then you get complacent. It's not boot camp. But they don't know what's going to happen next. That's a good thing. I'm usually just messing with them."
Self walked onto the Illinois campus back in 2000 fresh off an Elite Eight appearance with Tulsa. His challenge was to get a group of Illini loaded with talent, but one that hadn't advanced past the Sweet 16, to play up to its ability in the NCAA Tournament. Feeding off the toughness of guys like Sergio McClain and the NBA talent of Frank Williams and Cory Bradford on the perimeter, Illinois won 27 games and earned a No. 1 seed in Self's first season. Illinois missed the Final Four by six points in a loss to Arizona.
When he got to Tulsa, he took over a program also used to postseason success, but expectations were a bit unrealistic. Yet, in his final year, he took Tulsa to the Elite Eight, setting the standard for his predecessors -- Buzz Peterson for a year and current coach John Phillips -- at an almost impossible level.
Now, Self must at the very least sustain the standard of excellence established over 15 seasons by Williams.
Every year is our year in Lawrence, where Kansas is consistently one of the top five programs in the country. Big 12 titles? NCAA appearances? Trips to the Final Four? They don't come with the job, but certainly are part of the job.
The Jayhawks are among a handful of teams mentioned each year to get to the Final Four. Getting to San Antonio next April would mean a third straight trip, but it would be the first for Self as a head coach. And matching recent Final Four threepeats of Michigan State (1999-2001) and Kentucky (1996-98) doesn't fall solely on Self's shoulders. Kansas may have lost NBA first-round picks Collison and Hinrich, but the Jayhawks still return a nucleus good enough to get back to the Final Four.
This Kansas squad is similar to recent Michigan State and Maryland teams, except these Jayhawks don't yet have a national title. The stars who got these teams to the Final Four all departed, yet Kansas' core of returning veterans at least gives it a reason to believe a title is within reach. Simien, Keith Langford, Aaron Miles, Michael Lee and Jeff Graves were all instrumental in last year's runner-up finish. Add the stellar recruiting class inherited by Self -- one highlighted by J.R. Giddens and David Padgett -- and the talent is in place for Self to work his magic.
And because of his track record, Self has created not only the beginnings of a legacy, but reason for Lawence to expect success.
"You don't have to worry about me being hungry for this year,'' Simien said. "I missed 22 games."
"We have the talent to get back there," Miles said. "I trust and pray that we will."
While the focus in Phog Allen was on this season, Self's veteran staff of Roberts, Tim Jankovich, Joe Dooley and Ben Miller has already put together a top-five 2004 recruiting class with point guard Russell Robinson and big man Alexander Kaun. Robinson is from New York, while Kaun is originally from Siberia but prepped in Florida. Both of their commitments prove that Kansas, under Self, just like it did with Williams in charge, has a national reach.
The Jayhawks aren't without questions, such as who will be that bail-out player like Collison was for the past two seasons (probably a healthy Simien), and whether or not Langford can make the spectacular perimeter plays like Hinrich. But this team won't lack leadership. Too many players played too big of roles last season to not feel comfortable taking shots or taking charge in the locker room.
As for Self? Well, his opening act in Lawrence comes Nov. 21. And judging by his performances in Oral Roberts, Tulsa and Illinois, he's just warming up, too.

Which sex is the worst about washing up? Why is it so important? We've got the dirty truth on how and when to wash your hands.
Quitting Smoking: Temptations and Cravings
Topic Overview
The best way to cope with a strong temptation to smoke is to quickly remove yourself from the situation that is causing the temptation. Don't worry about "how it will look" if you leave a party, wedding reception, or public function to avoid the temptation to smoke. You have an important reason for leaving.
When you cannot remove yourself from a difficult situation, or when the temptation to smoke is triggered by something other than a place or event, consider what you can do, think about, or tell yourself that will help you cope with the temptation. Use some activity to distract yourself for about 20 minutes.
Recommended Related to Smoking Cessation
The First 30 Days: Quit Smoking!
By Nicole Yorio5 ways to get started.
Read the The First 30 Days: Quit Smoking! article > >
- Do something different.
- If drinking alcohol tempts you to smoke, choose a nonalcoholic drink.
- Call a friend to get support.
- Get moving. Take a walk or jog.
- Practice relaxation techniques. See the topic Stress Management for some relaxation techniques.
- Occupy your hands. Try knitting, reading, or working a puzzle.
- Take a hot bath or shower.
When you are tempted or have the strong urge to smoke:
- Try to stay away from places where cigarettes are easily available.
- Remind yourself how hard it was to quit in the first place and all the effort you have put in so far. Do you want to throw that away?
- Give yourself time to let the urge pass. Tell yourself you will wait 20 minutes and see if the urge is still there.
- Think about the benefits of not smoking, such as health, pride, and cleanliness.
- Think about the negative effects of smoking, such as harm to your family, yellow teeth, and shortness of breath.
- Imagine the immediate harmful effects of smoking. Picture the smoke going into your lungs and leaving the ash and tar in your lungs. Picture the harmful chemicals entering your bloodstream.
- Tell yourself that you really do not want to smoke.
- Tell yourself that you only need to keep from smoking one day at a time.
- Imagine yourself celebrating your first full year without smoking.

How to Find a Clinical Trial
In this article
Are you trying to find a clinical trial to enter?
Each year, researchers recruit many volunteers into such trials to evaluate new medical treatments, drugs, or devices. Ultimately, clinical trials seek better ways to treat different diseases and conditions. Not only might the trial participants benefit, but so could patients in the future.
Understanding Stem Cells
Find out what stem cells do, what's happening in stem cell research, and what it may mean for you.
But you (or your doctor) have to know how to find those trials.
How to Find a Clinical Trial
A good starting place is www.clinicaltrials.gov. This web site, sponsored by the National Institutes of Health, offers information on more than 125,000 clinical trials in 180 countries. Some of those are recruiting patients; other trials are completed or terminated.
To start your search:
- Go to www.clinicaltrials.gov.
- Click on the link, "Search for Clinical Trials," on the home page.
- Enter your search terms -- for example, a disease or intervention and a location: "heart attack" AND "aspirin" AND "California." Separate your multiple search terms with a capitalized "AND."
Need more help? Click on the "Background Information" link on the homepage. Then go to "Online Training," which features animated tutorials on how to perform searches: You'll learn how to tell open trials that are recruiting new participants (marked in green) from those that are closed to new volunteers (marked in red). You can also hide studies that are not recruiting new volunteers.
If you want to see all studies listed for your condition, see "Study Topics" on the right side of the home page. You'll find four links that allow you to list all studies by condition, drug intervention, location, or sponsor.
Studies that are recruiting will name a sponsor (for example, "University of Michigan" or "National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute"). Further down the page, you'll also find a contact person, whom you can reach by phone or email to ask about participating.

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used towards that service with that business for an additional 30 days.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher towards a bungy jump, for another 30 days.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.

Wrongful termination suit filed against Vt. townThe Associated Press | April 08,2013ST. JOHNSBURY St. Johnsburys former town manager is suing the town claiming he was unlawfully fired after just a week on the job.
Mark Shea, of Winchester, Mass., filed a wrongful termination lawsuit Friday seeking reinstatement as town manager and monetary damages.
Sheas attorney, Stephen Ellis, said the Board of Selectmens March 11 vote to rescind his appointment wasnt legal. Ellis said Vermont law requires cause to fire a town manager, which he says cant be accomplished by rescinding an appointment.
But a town attorney told the Caledonian Record that Shea was never hired in the first place and that theres no contract to support his contention.
In a separate lawsuit, former town manager Ralph Nelson is also suing St. Johnsbury for wrongful termination. He was let go a year ago.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER A complaint to the Democratic National Convention says two male Vermont delegates...

I've struggled the last couple of year because I find watching the games so much more stressful now. When we lost almost every game, I just expected it. These days I expect to win and freak out if we don't. I find it helpful to remind myself of the bad old days, to be grateful for what we have now:
* Remember when it seemed like we had safety coverage breakdowns several times a game, with some no name receiver running completely uncovered behind the defense? I can't remember the last time this happened.
* Remember when our pass rushers used to get completely stonewalled at the line almost every play? Even when we do the late-game, three-tired-man pass rushes these days, there's at least some penetration.
* Remember when Singletary would slam Gore into the middle of the line every darn play? I wonder how many rushes that futility took off his career. Gore's vision and burst at the line still make him a great back, but I think those couple of years destroyed the ability he used to have to carry the pile on his back for an extra two yards every play.
* Remember when you used to grimace every time our quarterback tried to throw the ball down the field? I was still doing this most of the way through last year until I finally accepted that the bad old days were gone and downfield passes were more likely to be caught by us than them.
* Remember when our OL had a half dozen total assignment breakdowns every game? This one took a few games into last year to fix, but since then, when's the last time we let someone scott free through the middle with no hot receiver ala the killer sack that injured Alex Smith in 2010?

Voters in Leavenworth and Atchison counties gave their approval for three local judges during Tuesday's election.
Judges in the 1st Judicial District, which is made up of Leavenworth and Atchison counties, are appointed. But they are subject to retention votes every four years. This year, voters were asked to decide if three district court judges, Gunnar Sundby of Leavenworth and Martin Asher and Robert Bednar of Atchison, should be retained as judges.
Sundby received a total of 21,305 "yes" votes in the two counties in favor of retention, or 70.3 percent, and 8,991 "no" votes, or about 29.7 percent, according to unofficial results from the county clerks.
In Leavenworth County, Sundby received 16,901 "yes" votes and 7,501 "no" votes. In Atchison County, he received 4,404 "yes" votes and 1,490 "no" votes.
Asher received a total of 21,102 "yes" votes in the two counties, or about 70.7 percent, and 8,750 "no" votes, or 29.3 percent. In Leavenworth County, he received 16,478 "yes" votes and 7,371 "no" votes. In Atchison County, he received 4,624 "yes" votes and 1,379 "no" votes.
Bednar received a total of 21,086 "yes" votes in the two counties, or about 70.5 percent, and 8.826 "no" votes, or 29.5 percent. In Leavenworth County, he received 16,523 "yes" votes and 7,442 "no" votes. In Atchison County, he received 4,563 "yes" votes and 1,384 "no" votes.
Several judges from the Kansas Court of Appeals and one justice from the Kansas Supreme Court also appeared on ballots statewide for retention votes Tuesday. There were still some precincts in the state that had not reported votes by Wednesday afternoon, but it appeared the Supreme Court justice and Court of Appeals judges will be retained, according to unofficial results from the Kansas Secretary of State's Office.
District judges in some parts of the state run for office in partisan elections every four years. Two years ago, a ballot measure asking voters in the 1st Judicial District to switch from the current appointment and retention system to one with elected judges failed to pass.

Cell phones are constantly expanding their features from playing games and sending emails, to keeping your calendar.
The latest service touted by two phone companies watching TV on your cell phone.
Consumer Reports checked out what you're getting.
Verizon V Cast is a new service that lets you watch TV right on your cell phone.
Sure it looks great in the ad. But how does it work in real life? Consumer Reports' Chris Bucsko just took a look at Verizon V Cast, which costs $15a month for basic service. He also checked out Sprint TV, which costs $10 a month. First off, don't expect to tune in to your favorite show.
It's not live TV. These are prerecorded video clips you can download from several categories such as news, sports, or entertainment.
Chris found both services have pluses and minuses. While Sprint TV is available throughout the sprint network, watching a TV clip interferes with phone calls. Calls don't come through while you're watching TV. They get automatically routed to voice mail.
In contrast, Verizon V Cast accepts calls while you're watching a clip, as long as you're wearing a headset. But you can only get service in limited areas. The advanced network is not available everywhere you get Verizon phone service. And with both services, navigating the menu can be tricky, press the wrong button and you have to start all over again.
So all in all, no matter how great it looks in commercials, Consumer Reports says TV on your cell phone is not ready for prime time.
