Those are the findings of the 2013 Kids Count data report released today by the Annie E. Casey foundation, which found there were 40,000 more Alabama children living in poverty in 2011 than in 2005. Poverty is defined as income below $22,811 for a family of four in 2011. That figure is an increase of 3 percent during those years, and five percent more than the national average in 2011.
Using four indicators, the report ranks states in the areas of economic well-being, education, health and family and community. Alabama's scores mirrored those of the nation as a whole, with gains in health and education, mixed results in family and community and worsening figures in measures of economic well-being.
The state moved up one spot this year to 44th in the overall ranking.
Alabama's teen birth rate dropped by 15 percent from 2005 to 2010, with 44 births per 1,000. The rate of high school students not graduating within four years fell by about 20 percent during those years, to 28 percent in 2010.
Nationally, the teen birth rate improved by 6 percent from 2005 to 2010, with 34 births per 1,000. The national rate of high school students not graduating within four years improved by 5 percent, with 22 percent such students in 2010.
Those improvements show that existing programs are working, said Linda Tilly, director of the Montgomery nonprofit Voices for Alabama's Children.
But Tilly is concerned that worsening poverty statistics could threaten those very improvements.
"I think that we should be concerned. Poverty does highly correlate and track with health and education and other outcomes for children," Tilly said. "I think that what happens in the future will depend on how we, as a state, and local communities, neighborhoods and churches, weigh in and help children who live in poverty."
Alabama's health care
"Thus far, we've been doing a good job providing access to healthcare for poor children," Tilly said.
In January 1998 Alabama became the first state to have its federal Children's Health Insurance Program plan approved. Called All-Kids, the program provides low-cost healthcare for children in low-income families who make too much to qualify for Medicaid.
Alabama saw a 3 percent drop in the number of children without health insurance from 2008 to 2011, according to the report, but funding for All-Kids has recently been threatened.
Last year, Gov. Robert Bentley tried to cut the program by limiting eligibility from 300 percent of poverty to 200 percent, which would have dropped about 15,800 kids from receiving health insurance. His request was denied by the federal government because the 2010 Affordable Care Act does not allow states to change eligibility standards for children.
Anniston pediatrician Dr. Carla Thomas said that thanks to All-Kids and Medicaid, she rarely sees a child in her office without health insurance.
Child and teen deaths dropped in Alabama from 43 per 100,000 in 2005 to 37 in 2010, the report found. The number of low-birthweight babies and the prevalence of teen drug or alcohol abuse also decreased slightly throughout the state.
"It means that we're doing a better job at providing health care, as well as education," Thomas said. "Prevention is just as important as intervention."
Education matters
Alabama public schools are doing something right, according to the report's findings, with improvements in each of the four indicators.
There were also moderate gains in the number of children who attend preschool in Alabama.
Eric Mackey, director of School Superintendents of Alabama, attributes that improvement to the state's recent investments in pre-K and early childhood programs.
"There's no doubt we're doing a better job than we have in the past and getting kids ready to learn to read," Mackey said. "I think that's a skill that we used to miss."
Bentley earlier this year asked for an additional $12 million to expand the state's pre-K program. The program was funded at $19 million this year, and serves about 3,900 4-year-olds.
The number of Alabama fourth-graders not proficient in reading fell from 78 percent to 69 percent from 2005 to 2011, according the report.
Mackey credits state Superintendent of Education Tommy Bice for his recent work in repurposing reading coaches in the Alabama Reading Initiative into instructional coaches.
"They're still reading coaches, but it's so much more than just reading. It's about working with those early learning skills, and working with kids beyond the third grade. It used to be they could only work with kids below third grade," Mackey said.
In another improvement, the number of Alabama high school students who did not graduate on time fell from 27 percent to 22 percent between the 2005-06 school year and the 2009-10 school year.
"That's another case of being able to focus on where the most need is," Mackey said, describing how school administrators discovered that fewer than 20 high schools in the state had more than half of those non-graduates.
The problem was myriad, Mackey said, but educators found that hundreds of students had transferred schools often, and in those breaks the students failed to accumulate enough credits to graduate.
"They needed better advisement, so that's one of things that we focused on," Mackey said.
More work remains
Alabama is still crawling out of the recession, the report shows, with worsening numbers in three of the four indicators in the economic well-being category.
Along with the increase in children living in poverty, the number of children whose parents lack secure employment rose from 30 percent in 2008 to 35 percent last year.
And children living in households with a high housing-cost burden increased by 30 percent from 2005 to 2011. There were 394,000 such children in Alabama last year.
Parents who spend more on housing have less to spend on other needs like food, clothing and health care.
Craig Baab, a senior policy fellow for the Montgomery non-profit Alabama Appleseed, said poverty isn't something easily addressed.
"It's not like there is one thing you can do and get rid of poverty. There are so many layers you have to work with," Baab said.
An area that hits the poor particularly hard is payday lending practices, Babb said.
One recent bill in the Alabama Legislature would have capped the maximum interest rate that can be charged on payday loans at 36 percent.
"The maximum is now 456 percent, and it's clearly aimed directly at low-income people," Baab said.
The bill had broad support, Baab said, including from Senate President Pro Tem Del Marsh, but it died in the last legislative session. Supporters say the fight isn't over.
Kristina Scott, director of the Birmingham nonprofit Alabama Poverty Project, said that advocates have a much better idea of the kinds of interventions needed to help children living in poverty.
"You see things like the increase in pre-K funding, which can help close the gap between low-income children and middle-class children," Scott said.
Scott also credited Bice in his work to transform the state's public schools.
"It started off with a focus on raising the graduation rate, or reducing the dropout rate, but what I see is that we've really gone a step beyond that," Scott said.
But she worries that "the gains that we made during the economic boom years have been erased in Alabama. Poor children are much more likely to grow up and be poor themselves."
Other notable changes in this year's report were movements at the bottom spots. Mississipi, for the first time in 24 years, wasn't ranked last for child well-being. That spot went to New Mexico. More Mississippi children are attending preschool, and fewer have parents who lack a high school diploma, the report found.
Three Southwestern states — Arizona, Nevada and New Mexico — were ranked in the bottom five overall. Southern states have traditionally filled the majority of those spots in past reports.
New this year, the report gives statistics on multiracial children, showing that they fared worse in almost every statistic compared to non-Hispanic white children.
"Inequities among children remain deep and stubbornly persistent," the report stated.

Xabi Alonso's proposed summer move to Chelsea now looks even likelier as the club privately confirmed to ESPN they have concrete interest in the player.
The midfielder's future has been the subject of increased speculation over the last two days, with the Independent reporting that he could be available at a cut price when Jose Mourinho arrives at Stamford Bridge in the summer.
It now appears likely that the Portuguese coach will return to Chelsea once he leaves Real Madrid and, to a significant degree, it is Alonso's relationship with the coach that is leading to an expected departure from the Bernabeu.
Sources have said that the 31-year-old is "deeply unimpressed" with the current tension at Madrid. While a number of the Spanish side's squad have turned against Mourinho - and even lobbied for his sacking - Alonso is one of few players to stay ultra loyal to the manager.
As a part consequence of that, it is understood that both Alonso and Alvaro Arbeloa have been effectively ostracised by the Spanish national squad. The midfielder was one of the key exponents of the aggressive approach that Mourinho often used against Barcelona, greatly increasing friction.
Alonso is now known to want a move away from Spain, preferably to London. Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has also previously been an admirer of the midfielder and tried to sign him in 2009 before Alonso moved from Liverpool to Real Madrid.
Yet, although Arsenal may resurrect a bid, there are a number of reasons why he is far more likely to go to Chelsea.
Aside from Alonso wanting to keep working with Mourinho, his position is one area that the club specifically want to improve this summer. The Spaniard would be a perfect, with Mourinho understood to have made this known in negotiations.

Gambling in Texas back before state lawmakers
Slot machines at racetracks, Vegas-style casinos being proposed
Lawmakers will be asked to re-consider legalized gambling, such as slot machines at pari-mutuel racetracks and Vegas-style casinos, when the Texas Legislature convenes in January.
Texas Sen. Rodney Ellis (D-Houston) introduced the proposals in Senate Joint Resolution 6, as means of generating state revenue.
Ellis is proposing a constitutional amendment to create the Texas Gaming Commission that would regulate casinos and slot machines by "a limited number" of licensed operators and Indian tribes.
Amending the Texas Constitution would involve a statewide vote, as well as local elections wherever casinos are proposed.
Dick Marcussen, a visitor to San Antonio, said casinos have brought big money to his home state.
"Keeps Iowa afloat, keeps them on their feet," Marcussen said.
Nancy Hunt, executive director of the Paseo del Rio Association, said its members rejected the idea of putting casinos on the San Antonio River Walk four years ago.
However, now Hunt said, "I really don't have any idea how the membership would react to this. It's a very sensitive and complicated issue."
She said there are strong feelings on both sides.
Jorge Rosales, a local resident, said he sees the benefit of casinos, but not on the River Walk.
"That kind of takes away from the River Walk vibe," Rosales said.
Bryan Brown, CEO of Retama Park Entertainment Group, said bringing slot machines to pari-mutuel racetracks -- such as Retama -- may stand a better chance than casinos.
"That's something that the legislators can get their arms around. They can understand," Brown said.
He said gambling in Texas has failed in the past because of fears it would bring organized crime and prostitution.
"None of that has occurred, fortunately with horse racing and none of it will occur with slot machines coming to the tracks," Brown said.
Bob Leal, who was betting on the races broadcast at Retama, said he supports gambling in Texas.
"Instead of going to Louisiana and Oklahoma, we need to keep it here in Texas," Leal said.

Hi all-
My son has just recently started eating pureed foods. He just turned 6 months old. I was wondering if I freeze pureed bananas in the freezer if they will stay good. He really loves bananas :)
Thank you
I'm not sure what they would do in the freezer. I used to freeze bananas in the freezer to use in smoothies. They would turn a darker color in the freezer, but they tasted the same. Maybe try with a small amount, and then let us know as this sounds like great idea.
Take care,
Hi! I'm making all my baby's food and once I Purée the banana, I store them in the freezer. I've tried the jar foods before and LO hated it. He liked the homemade darker looking banana better =)
Wow JsMommy, I'm impressed with your baby food creations. So glad you are able to help with the banana questions. :) Keep us posted of new foods that you try with your little one,

Fingerprint and deport illegal immigrants?by Opinion Staff
Arizona has a law that lets local police pull over people and demand papers that prove they're in this country legally. That creates too much potential for abuse. People who "look" Hispanic are more likely to be rousted. And anyway, since when do Americans who are obeying the law have to carry identity papers they can show to police on demand?
But just because Arizona's approach has problems doesn't mean every law or policy that deals with illegal aliens is somehow an affront to human rights. The Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office has decided, for example, to run the fingerprints of people in custody through an immigration database that will identify illegal immigrants who have committed serious crimes.
In the past, such people – who might have been taken into custody for relatively minor offenses – easily could have been released back onto the streets. The new policy, part of a nationwide effort called Secure Communities, is meant to make sure illegal immigrants who have committed serious crimes are deported after the U.S. legal system is through with them.
Some immigrant advocates, such as Florida Immigrant Coalition spokesman Subhash Kateel, say the new policy is just another way to target immigrants for minor offenses and lump it in with the Arizona law as a waste of police resources and a potential catalyst for abuse. According to the coalition, only 12 percent of people deported under the system are serious criminals.
Federal immigration officials dispute that figure. They say the program has flagged 18,000 serious criminals since it was started in 2008 and so far has deported 4,000 of them.
Attempting to round up and deport all illegal immigrants would be futile, a waste of resources and possibly damaging to some local economies. But a program that finds and deports illegal immigrants who have committed serious crimes is properly focused and effective. Immigrant advocates who oppose that are harming their own cause.
What do you think? Should fingerprints be used to identify and deport illegal immigrants who have committed serious crimes? Take our poll.

I think you're looking for 'Only The Lonely', which was supposedly for Elvis, but Roy later on admitted being glad to have recorded it. I know Elvis did record 'She Wears My Ring', which was an English rendition by Orbison of a song in Spanish, unless I'm very much mistaken.
There are a few songs they have both recorded, for example 'I Can't Stop Loving You'. It's interesting to hear the differences.
Roy's version of this song:
Elvis' version:
I also remember a snippet of Elvis singing 'Running Scared'. Elvis liked this song 'Crying', but only sang it for his own pleasure - the same way I'd only do 'Hound Dog' or 'Jailhouse Rock' to have a laugh, but not for serious purposes.
Roy attended an Elvis concert in 1976 (Las Vegas); EP sang a line of 'It's Over' and praised Roy's singing abilities.
Johnny Cash and Roy meet up:
I wouldn't do 'Pretty Woman' either. I did change the lyrics on one occasion ('Oh, Billy Gilman'), combining it with 'My Billy Is Over The Ocean'.

Pain Management
Our goal is to keep you at an "acceptable" pain level. The relief of pain includes both drug and non-drug interventions. Your physician may order medications to help control your pain. Medications may be taken at various times of the day. It is suggested for chronic or continuous pain that the medications be taken around the clock. If pain returns before the next dose is due, consult your physician for recommendations. At Fairfield Medical Center, we believe in limiting the amount of drug interventions used, and utilize non-drug interventions when possible.
The non-drug interventions include:
- Repositioning yourself when lying in bed and when up in a chair
- Relaxation techniques such as imagery and deep breathing
- Decreasing or eliminating the amount of noise or light in your environment
- Diversion activities such as listening to soft music or participating in a craft
- Heat or ice therapy
Each individual's pain is different, and a combination of drug and non-drug interventions may be needed.

Welcome to SOPW – "The Sikh Organisation for Prisoners Welfare", a Registered Charity (UK), run by volunteers, working to achieve justice for those, who have been illegally imprisoned and tortured and their families.
SOPW is the only charity in the world whose mandate is solely to ensure the civil rights of Sikh Political Prisoners are ensured in India. Its success and progress is down to the support of the Sangat, we rely on your support to continue and develop this worthy project.
It is a unique charity whose volunteers work tirelessly to bring much needed support and comfort to the many innocent prisoners illegally imprisoned, tortured and languishing in Indian jails without charge or under fabricated charges. SOPW works to achieve justice for them and helps with the welfare of their families, their world is literally turned upside down
SOPW was founded in 2008 by Bhai Balbir Singh Bains who was arrested in 1999 by Delhi police who said they had found a consignment of RDX explosives. However, due to international support for the UK national, the case was taken to the Supreme Court where the judge threw out the charges, calling them a "balloon of falsehoods" after it emerged the RDX in question had come from a police warehouse.
Whilst in Tihar Jail, Balbir Singh met Professor DevinderPal Singh Bhullar - He had one simple request for Balbir Singh Bains who would be free soon, he implored him to take the plight of the Sikh Prisoners to the Sikh Diaspora. We were silenced within these four wall, please be our VOICE and bring us HOPE.
SOPW funds all legal fees that go towards paying for the legal help and lawyers who fight the cases of these innocent prisoners and help them come out and rebuild their lives. In addition to funding legal cases, SOPW provides monthly support to the prisoners, consisting of basic needs such as clothes, soap, hair oil etc.
Many of the prisoners currently being supported have never been convicted or even charged with any offence, but have been unlawfully detained nonetheless for as long as 20 years. Furthermore, many Sikhs have been convicted solely on the evidence of signed confessions extracted under torture.
You lived a normal family life in Punjab, farming your fields daily and looking after your family. Imagine being one day picked up by police while you are out shopping for groceries for no reason and put into a police car. Imagine being told you are a terrorist because you were seen with so and so or you shouted 'Khalistan' once. Imagine being tied up and brutally tortured for information about other Sikhs that you know nothing about. Imagine being put in a jail cell without any trial or formal charge. Imagine not knowing when you will be able to see your family again. Imagine waiting weeks or months before going to court to face trial, only to find the court date has been postponed for another few months. Imagine not being able to afford a lawyer and having to represent yourself. Imagine finding out from family members that they can't cope without your income because you're the sole breadwinner. Imagine being worried sick about how your family are coping without you and how your children are growing up without a father.
Imagine feeling that the Sikh community has forgotten about you. Imagine writing to Sikh authorities to ask for help and receiving no reply. Imagine not being able to get the basic necessities of soap, clean clothes, decent food and blankets without kicking a fuss. Imagine waiting years in this state, trial after trial being postponed, with no formal charge or sentence.
Imagine questioning your own faith and whether being a Sikh is worth all this because you have not heard from your own community. Imagine praying every day for freedom with no hope in sight and your faith dwindling day by day.
Just imagine...
Imagine some stranger turning up at your jail cell saying "Bhai Sahib Jee, we have assigned a good lawyer to look at your case and clear your name!" Imagine being told that your family is receiving a monthly income to help them out of poverty. Imagine being told that your children's education is being looked after and paid for. Imagine receiving letters from total strangers from different parts of the world saying that they are praying for you and to keep faith in Guru Jee.
Imagine someone asking you all the things you need in jail as basic necessities and then being handed them over to you without question. Imagine finally going to court and this new lawyer clearing your name and getting you released immediately. Imagine seeing a group of strangers waiting for you outside with your family in good health and then taking you all back to your home. Imagine your treatment in hospital for all the bruises and broken parts of your anatomy (due to the brutal torture endured while in jail) being paid for by someone you don't know. Imagine someone coming to see you regularly to help you cope with getting back into normal life and counsel you for your daily mental trauma (post-traumatic disorder).
Just imagine..
- What would it be like to one day find that you have been accused of being a Sikh terrorist?
- To have your job and livelihood stripped from you in an instant?
- To watch your family suffer, due to the absence of your income to help cover the bills and mortgage payments.
- To have to wait months to fight your case in the long judicial process,
- To be told you can't see or know the evidence against you.
- To feel ostracised and let down by your own community.
- To call out for help to many Sikhs but only get few replies and answers your pleas.
- To find very few that will help you in your time of need.
- To finally get your name cleared and be able to live your life again fully without any repercussions.
All contributions and donations helps Sikh Organisation of Prisoner Welfare continue the much needed seva that is so important to make it a reality for all those that want the basic human right "FREEDOM".

Alternative Names
Coronary artery disease; Arteriosclerotic heart disease; CHD; CAD
Definition of Coronary heart disease
Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a narrowing of the small blood vessels that supply blood and oxygen to the heart. CHD is also called coronary artery disease.
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
Coronary heart disease is usually caused by a condition called , which occurs when fatty material and other substances form a plaque build-up on the walls of your arteries. This causes them to get narrow. As the coronary arteries narrow, blood flow to the heart can slow down or stop. This can cause chest pain (), shortness of breath, , and other symptoms, usually when you are active.
Symptoms may be very noticeable, but sometimes you can have the disease and not have any symptoms.
Signs and tests
Many tests help diagnose CHD. Usually, your doctor will order more than one test before making a definite diagnosis.
You may be asked to take one or more medicines to treat blood pressure, diabetes, or high cholesterol levels. Follow your doctor's directions closely to help prevent coronary artery disease from getting worse.
Expectations (prognosis)
Everyone recovers differently. Some people can maintain a healthy life by changing their diet, stopping smoking, and taking medications exactly as the doctor prescribes. Others may need medical procedures such as angioplasty or surgery.

Retail Therapy1 of 9
By Amy Elisa Keith
Ever walk in to a department store, spot an amazing visual display and think, "I wish I could do that in my home"? Well, now you can. Glo takes you on a tour of Bergen, New Jersey Off 5th, the outlet store for Saks Fifth Avenue, and shows you which design tips to steal from the pros and how to get the look.
Matchy Matchy2 of 9
While the monochromatic look can be too intense for many people, coordinating a bright-colored lamp and accent table can create a modern and cohesive room. Here it is an unexpected pairing that strikes a perfectly vibrant note. Try this with hues like mandarin orange, pool blue or even a lime green, like Off 5th uses.
GET THE LOOK: Blue furniture accents
Theater Production3 of 9
If you have high ceilings in your home and are looking to add a bit of drama, then get inspired by this runway display and the industrial spotlights. The theater-style lights are reminiscent of professional performances, but can be a stylish alternative to recessed lighting or traditional fixtures.
GET THE LOOK: Utility Pendant Lights and Studio Floor Lamp
Off Center Chic4 of 9
Ignore the old-school design rule of parallel lines and straightforward furniture arrangements. Like this shoe display does, try angling your dining room table or sofa off the area rug for an unexpected twist, and reinforce the look with a series of hanging lamps. This arrangement will also add depth and texture to your room without overwhelming the space.
Branch Out5 of 9
While gorgeous blooms are a timeless favorite in any home, consider a tall vase of branches of manzanita or bamboo to bring nature indoors. Visual designers counterbalanced a shoe display with a tree-like sculpture, softening the overall look. Try this arrangement with a floor vase in your entertainment space for an eco-friendly touch.
GET THE LOOK: Manzanita Branches
In Plain Sight6 of 9
Jewelry counters and accessories displays are like every other feature of a store: They are designed to entice us to spend. Take a cue from the experts by displaying your bangles and baubles in a way that encourages you to accessorize your work outfit or that LBD in a new and exciting way.
GET THE LOOK: Acrylic Jewelry Organizers
Wood Work7 of 9
To draw attention to various brands of jeans available, Off 5th installed a floating shelf that carries different-colored planks of wood. While you're probably not advertising denim, consider this technique to personalize a child's bedroom—incorporate their name or favorite hobbies for a semi-permanent decor option.
GET THE LOOK: Letter Wall Decals
Look In The Mirror8 of 9
Throughout the store, blouses and shoes sit atop large, classic mirrored furniture. Add your own reflective accents by placing a mirrored console table in your living room or a side table next to your bed. An added perk? Mirrored furniture brightens and opens small spaces.
GET THE LOOK: Mirrored Tables
Center Of Attention9 of 9
For the ultimate fashion maven who is daring enough to try it, we challenge you to try this out. Invest in an ultra-modern mannequin like this one (or even a dress form) as a piece of art in your home. It's a great conversation starter and fantasy fixture for your bedroom, and it can sport that cocktail dress you're planning to wear for your reunion.

umm did you not know mettenberger isnt the starting qb
In case you missed the following on Saturday night, it's worth a look. Because there aren't going to be too many times when you see a team take a knee… with five minutes still remaining in the game.
With a first-and-goal at the one and leading 52-3 with five to play, Les Miles had his team kneel down on four consecutive plays, rather than run the score up further on Houston Nutt and the Rebels.
But by trying to show mercy, Miles only opened himself up for criticism. Some — including the color analyst during ESPN's broadcast — found Miles' decision insulting to Ole Miss.
Of course, if Miles and the Tigers had stuck in another one on the Rebs, they would have been criticized for running up the score.
Miles said after the game that "victory was assured, there was no reason to take snaps at that point."
Nutt — who looked a bit bewildered when it happened — credited Miles for trying to be a good sport. "That's the first time that happened to me. Les is just trying to be nice right there. I appreciate it but either way it doesn't make you feel good. … He's a good man. He understands."
Those who've criticized Miles do not understand. He was in a lose-lose situation. Anyone trying to make a mountain out of this mole hill is simply looking for column content.
Miles tried to show class. A tip of the hat — pun intended — to him for that. And if Rebel players were somehow disrespected by a team taking a knee, well, best to not let the other team get up by 49 points with five minutes to play.

Roamin' in the South Hills
Environmental programs help kids to grow
Checking through various seashells is Verna McGinley and Ethan Campoli.

Giving the bullfrog a gentle touch is Eve Secrist of Canonsburg.
Kids are inquisitive. Their minds absorb like a sponge. They love to learn, but so often when we feel their attention waning, an hour or possibly a month later we are amazed at what they've remembered.
Hands-on projects seem to be the favorites of young people. Music and animations, cooking, science in action, gardening and even kicking a ball around are a few great teachers. Awareness, observing, processing and identifying are often lessons learned for a lifetime and create excellent communication skills.
Knowing that the interests of preschool-age boys and girls are constantly growing and full of reward, Mt. Lebanon resident Verna McGinley enjoys taking her Creative Environmental Education adventures all around the South Hills. Former education and outreach director of Pittsburgh's National Aviary, Verna provides a variety of programing focusing on nature's treasures for young people and even those of retirement age.
Verna takes her informative programming on the road as she visits libraries, schools and senior centers. It's not difficult for her to gain an audience's full attention during her presentations, as there are always a few surprises in her carrying cases. Parrots and owls, small birds, reptiles, amphibians, butterflies, rocks and fossils often accompany her.
Verna visits Noah's Ark Preschool in McMurray monthly and has delighted its students for more than six years. Her love of children and diversity on speaking topics, after many years of being involved with environmental issues, includes puppetry, care of the human body through exercise and familiarizing young people with lifestyles of Native Americans, raising the anticipation level and interest of all ages.
Just last week, Verna, or Mother Nature as she is sometimes referred, headed to Noah's Ark with a program on ponds and water creatures. She came prepared with glass-covered showcases filled with preserved critters and bugs, many familiar to local streams and seashells indigenous to ocean beaches. Eyes opened wide as she uncovered vessels of hermit crabs, crayfish, a lively mudpuppy and bull frog.
"I met my husband years ago at the Carnegie Museum, so he was familiar with my environmental interests," said Verna. "For our wedding anniversary recently, my husband was excited about a gift he had waiting for me. Knowing that our house was home to not only many of God's living creatures, but carcasses of those that didn't survive, he was delighted to present me with a dead hawk to add to my menagerie. I had to remove the body cavity and dry it completely. The hawk will always remain a memorable gift."
Dinosaurs, Birds of the Bible, Plants of the Bible and Children Around the World, with a focus on music and cultures, are successful learning experiences Verna takes to local neighborhoods.
Verna is happy to share her programs with others and only asks for a minimal donation of $25 to provide her living creatures with their unusual dietary needs. To reach Verna, call 412-343-8653.

Project AWARE's online environmental community working together for ocean protection.
Tiffany Walker Leite
User Profile
When I was a kid growing up in Alaska, I wanted to be a boat captain and oceanographer. But I'm much happier at Project AWARE Foundation where I've been campaigning for ocean protection for the last 12 years.
The urge to become a diver has been with me since I can remember. But even during my Divemaster course, I must admit, I wondered what all the fuss was about. Clearly, it was time to start diving for fun!
Pairing my annual dive adventures with my formal background in fisheries and biology has paved the way for a really exciting career here at AWARE. I think everyone has a natural connection to the ocean. My favorite part of my job is finding new ways to unlock this personal connection and shine a light on divers around the world so dedicated to taking action.

Im making a random drop item system.
I was thinking of making a array like this:
var Items:Array = ["HP","ST","SWORD"]
if(Items == SWORD){
//drop sword
//do code here
but i have no idea of how to access and use 1 value from an array.
I think i need to use something like math.floor or math.random but i dont know how to go foward with this.
Thanks in advance.
I don't know AS 1 or AS 2 but usually generally speaking array items are accessed with square brackets:
myArray=[item1, item2, item3]
when I say = I mean that it represents that array item not that that is the syntax for the code.
Message was edited by: markerline
How would i then pick a item at random?
There should be a random attribute of the Math class. Again I don't know AS 1 or AS 2 but in AS 3 that would be something like Math.random() . There should be plenty of examples online or even in the AS 2 Reference Guide on adobe's website.
You would assign a variable to take the integer value output by the random function and place that within your array's brackets. That's the theory anyway. I'll see if I can find something for you but have a search in the meantime.
Have a look at this document to get you started:

Bishop Watterson Principal: Teacher Not Fired for Being Gay
Updated: Wednesday, April 24 2013, 08:08 PM EDT
COLUMBUS -- A central Ohio principal says school officials were
justified in firing a gay teacher who listed her partner as her spouse
in an obituary.
Former Bishop Watterson High School phys-ed
teacher Carla Hale met with Principal Marian Hutson on Wednesday to
discuss her recent firing. The meeting was the first step in the
grievance process her lawyer filed against the school.
Hale was
fired from Bishop Watterson a week after the public posting of her
mother's obituary, which listed Hale's female partner as her spouse.
a written response to the grievance, Hutson wrote, "Documents support
termination. You were not terminated for being gay, but for the spousal
relationship publicized in the newspaper which is against church
Hale was fired a week after the obituary was brought
to the attention of the Diocese of Columbus. In the termination letter,
Hale is told, "Your written spousal relationship violates the moral laws
of the Catholic Church."
The Diocese was alerted to the obituary via an anonymous letter that expressed outrage over Hale's employment.
was shocked by what I saw," the letter read. "It had her teacher's name
and that of her 'spouse' listed. It was two females. "How can the
Diocese of Columbus allow this?"
In response to the Hale's
firing, the former teacher's supporters created an online petition,
calling for her reinstatement. As of mid-April, the petition had
garnered more than 7000 signatures.
Hale said she is overwhelmed
by the support of Bishop Watterson students, alumni, and friends, along
with people she's never met. She said she's received several calls,
letters, and emails from those supporting her effort to return to her
The mother of three is also receiving strong support
from her children, two of whom have followed her into the teaching
Contrary to the opinions of some community members,
Hale insists she never intentionally hid her sexual orientation from the
public, but admits she does prefer to keep the details of her personal
life private.
Despite her firing, Hale said she hopes to return
to Bishop Watterson to resume her career, though she said she does not
believe the grievance process will result in her reinstatement.
Hale's layer, Thomas Tootle, said he may file a lawsuit if his client is not allowed to return to her job.
battle against the school she loves is garnering national attention,
which comes as a surprise to the former teacher. She said she hopes the
love and support she's receiving will serve as an inspiration to young
people who are questioning their sexuality for the first time.
The Catholic Diocese of Columbus sent the following statement to ABC 6/FOX 28 regarding Hale's firing:
matters remain confidential by policy of the Diocese of Columbus, and
thus cannot be discussed in specific terms by diocesan staff, even cases
that are working their way through grievance procedures and/or have
gained significant publicity.
"However, what can be said in
general terms is that all Catholic school personnel at the outset of
their employment agree that they will abide by the rules, regulations,
and policies of the Catholic Diocese, including respecting the moral
values advanced by the teachings of Christ.
"The Catholic
Church respects the fundamental dignity of all persons, but also must
insist that those in its employ respect the tenets of the Church.
Personnel who choose to publicly espouse relationships or principles
that are contrary to the teachings of the Catholic Church cannot,
ultimately, remain in the employ of the Church."

These are the top 2 Aeropress methods from the 2013 World Aeropress Championships…
Jeff Verellen's winning recipe :
17 grams coffee ground 5.75 on the uber grinder, little courser than paper filter.
Rinsed normal filter, aeropress in regular position.
50 grams of water at 83c for the bloom.
Bloom for 40s. Nicely wet all grounds and lightly agitate holding the aeropress and shaking it abit around.
Very slowly add 215 grams of water at 79c for about 30 sec
Press very gently for about 30 seconds.
Leave about 50 gram slurry in the press and discard.
Put the rest of the brew in the gob.
Extra tips for supreme brew:
Picking beans, lights out, heavies in. Too big and weird, also out.
Use a cocktail pitcher to grind in and charge up static electricity so light particles stick to the walls, try to discard them.
Wille Yli-Luoma's 2nd place recipe :
17 grams of coffee
240 water right of boil
2 min steep with 3 stirs.
Tibor Varaday's 3rd place recipe :
Place 12g quite coarsely ground coffee into aeropress (set grind to taste),
pre-infuse with about 50g gramms of 90 degrees celsius water,
stir vigorously, 5 times,
add remaining water to a total of 200 gramms,
place cap on without stirring,
press out air while still in inverted position, until drops appear on top,
turn aeropress into a non-inverted position onto a pitcher, but do not press yet.
After two minutes of brew time have past, press gently using body weight, as the Aeropress allows.
These are the top 2 Aeropress methods from the 2012 World Aeropress Championships…
Charlene's Method
17 grams of coffee (light roasted fresh crop washed Sidamo from Heart roasters)
fine filter grind on a Mahlkönig Tanzania
paper filter rinsed with hot water
water from Maridalsvannet (brought in glass bottles from my flat in Oslo, Norway)
inverted brewing method
preheat aeropress for 10 sec
96 Celcius pour temp (gives ca 90 C actual brew temp)
260 grams of water
no stiring
50 sec steep time
20 sec press time – slow enough to get a clean brew but also some fines (yuck) and oils (yum)
stop pressing before air comes out
wait for the fines to sink and temp to cool, then pour but hold back the last part with the fines (taste sample for yourself!)
The cup: a clean brew with floral notes and taste of sweet lemons.
These are the top 2 Aeropress methods from the 2011 World Aeropress Championships…
Jeff's Method
-Put the paper filter in the filterholder, wet it with hot water, let it expand and refit it.
-Screw it very tightly into a clean preferably pre-heated Aeropress
-Measure out 17 grams of coffee (well, specifically this Kenya…) and grind coarsely, bit courser than paper filter at the very last moment.
-Put the Aeropress non-inverted on the recipient.
-Measure 270 grams of soft mineral water or filtered water and bring it to 80c.
-Splash a bit of the water on the filter and directly after throw in the freshly ground coffee, as to allow the bottom to wet and expand a bit.
-Directly after wet the coffee by dripping or pouring very slowly all the grounds, about 40 grams
-After the coffee has absorbed the water, after about 30 seconds, start very slowly pouring the rest of the water, try to re-wet the coffee fully again, see that the grounds do not separate from the water, this can be done using a good kettle with small nozzle.
-Let the Aeropress steep and drip for about 1/4th trough or 1 minute.
-Help about 2/4th of the rest of the water trough, with the provided piston, very gently.
-Remove the press and the what`s left, about 50 grams of water from the recipient and throw away.
Josh's Method
These are the top 4 Aeropress methods from the 2010 World Aeropress Championships…
Marie's Method
1. Boil the water (so it is 80 degrees when you pour it over the coffee)
2. Grind the coffee, slightly finer than filter grind (20 grams)
3. Aeropress upside down and soak the filter paper with hot water
4. Put in the coffee and pour the 80 degrees water over it, almost to the top.
5. Stir for 10-12 seconds
6. Heat the cup, and then slowly push the coffee in the cup – stop before you hear the air.
7. Serve
Jeppe's Method
Aeropress up side down
18 grams of coffee ground a little coarser than filter (3,25 in the Brew Bar)
230 grams of 75 degrees celsius water provided in the Brew Bar !
Start the timer
Pour water nice and easy with a Hario twisting the Aeropress
Stir gently for 10 sec make sure to get all the way to the bottom
Clean the paper filter with water
After 1.15 min turn and press – gently for approx 30 sec.
Stop pressing when water surface is broken by the coffee grounds
Stir the coffee up and down with a spoon
Serve the 2 dl. to the judges and enjoy the little left overs yourself
Jeff's Method
Grind : One bit finer then filter. On Ditting : 4.
Water serving temperature : tough one. We trained at 80, but then competed in the finals at 82°C. Jeff thought the roast was very fresh and needed 85, but I thought that was dangerous. He went for something in the middle.
Volume of coffee : 20 grams. A classic cut for us; a lot for a 20cl drink maybe.
Then the brewing :
Before the actual brew we decided to make a blind press to heat up the plastic of the press, the cup and rinse the paper filter.
We first take the filter and filter holder off and reverse the press. 20 grams is ground in a stainless steel cup (this is non static, except for the lightest of ground!!) and we use a funnel to keep things clean.
As pouring device we went for the Buono Kettle. This allows you to pour slowly and, this way, control the blooming. We often see an uncontrolled blooming while pouring too much water too fast.
We pour the water very slow and keep on rotating the base to make sure all coffee grounds brews well. This takes about 30 seconds.
We screw on the filter and wait 60 seconds. By this time all coffee is well agitated and it's time to turn things into pressing position.
We go now for a very slow press.
After almost (another) 60 seconds we stop just before or just on the moment of the hissing sound. The last bit of water is very oily and bitter.
Get rid of the Aeropress and serve your cup.
Stian's Method
For a clean cup, pick up all the different coffee filters you could find in a store. Bring them to a cupping table, and figure out which one that leaves as little paper taste as possible to the water.
My choice was a norwegian brand called 'Kieldsberg'. And little oversized to cover the side holes on the filter cap.
I also used a Norwegian water called Imsdal. This is a water low on mineral and soft in the mouthfeel.
1. Bring the Imsdal water to the boil, then let it rest. Doing this makes the calcium levels in the water to decrease a little, for an even softer and juicier mouthfeel. (Don't know if that really happens, at least somebody told me it did. It's the result in the cup that matters).
2. Grind 17,5 grams of coffee slightly finer than filter.
3. Invert the aeropress, and preheat it.
4. Put the ground coffee in the aeropress.
5. Pour the Imsdal water slowly over the coffee when it reaches 93C
6. After 20 seconds, rotate the aeropress with one hand while stirring with a spoon with the other hand in the surface of the coffee. Do this for approx 20 seconds.
7. Put the oversized filter on top, and fasten the filter cap.
8. After 50 seconds, turn the aeropress around. And press down into a porcelain cup, fast, 5-7 seconds.
Total brew time. 55-60 seconds. Enjoy.
These are the top 3 Aeropress methods from the 2009 World Aeropress Championships…
Alex's Method
Do a 'blind' press with boiling water to soak the paper filter.
Pour 20 grams of filter ground coffee in to the main Aeropress chamber.
Pour boiling water to "1" mark on the inner tube and wait for 5 seconds.
Pour water from the inner tube into the main chamber. Circulate water and grounds with a jug underneath, ensuring grounds are wet.
Fill water from boiler up to "3" mark on the inner tube.
30 seconds after pouring the first water in, pour in the contents of the inner tube into the main chamber. Then press firmly until the brewed coffee is extracted into the jug, but stop just before the 'pppffssstt' sound.
Ben's Method
Begin by boiling freshly filtered tap water.
Invert your aeropress.
Apply a paper filter and run it under the tap until its rinsed.
Fill your inverted aeropress with boiling water, apply the filter, flip and press the boiling water through the filter to ensure there is absolutely no paper taste and to heat up the system.
Once again, invert your aeropress. The plunger should be about 1cm from the bottom.
Grind off your coffee, slightly finer than filter grind (Should be 14g by weight) and put it into your cup or glass. Keep this handy.
Bring your water to a rolling boil.
Put your inverted aeropress on a scale and zero out.
When the kettle hits a rolling boil, shut it off, open the lid and start your timer.
Wait thirty seconds to allow the water to cool a bit.
Add 1dL or ~95g by weight of your water to the aeropress and quickly zero out the scale again.
Add start your clock and add the 14g of coffee to the water and give the coffee a quick but efficient stir to completely saturate the coffee grounds in the water.
Add the remaining 1dL or ~95g by weight of water to the coffee slurry. The scale total should now read 109g.
Wait until the clock reads 50 seconds and then slowly and carefully flip the aeropress back upright. (I would use two hands.)
Begin slowly plunging. This should take about 25 seconds. Plunge until you hear any hissing or air escaping through the coffee puck. Quickly pull the plunger back up and invert your aeropress so it doesnt leak everywhere.
Lukasz' Method
Start with the the Aeropress upside down.
Thoroughly pre-soak filter.
19,5 – 20g coffee, ground slightly courser than filter grind
2 dl water
Water temperature: 75 degrees Celsius
Stir 4 times
Stop stirring, secure the filter an turn at ca 10 seconds.(Total contact time ca 15 sec.)
Press and serve.

"I still find time to have sex at night on the beach when no one's around. Or roll into a bar and get f***ed up and dance with my top off. It's just that no one ever sees that," Gaga - who referred to herself in the article as a "complete free spirit" -- revealed.
The singer, who is working on her new album, "ARTPOP," explained that sometimes she just wants to be a teenager.

"I don't worry about people seeing any of those things... I like to have private moments, but in public! ...a little irresponsible and act like I am nineteen," she continued.
And when talk turned to her reported relationship with hunky actor Taylor Kinney, Gaga said not to expect to see her settling into a life of domesticity anytime soon.
"[I want to] make records and party and screw around and wear fake Chanel," she told the mag. "[I'm not looking to] settle down and live in a house yet or anything. I just want to keep riding this rainbow."

I saw an auction for a 500 BPE and was wondering if anybody still hunted with them. Although the idea is appealing from a historical perspective, Im concerned about many issues; not the least of which is unknown load data.
Id absolutely love to have a 8 or better yet 4 BORE again just for the coolness factor. I saw a 6 BORE shotgun (Muzzle loader) at a shot this week end. I might have bought it if it was a rifle.
Theres a repro 2 BORE percussion gun on GUNBROKER. If youre a lefty its a deal. Theres something about putting a half pound of lead on target.

The 500 BPE was created as a medium bore rifle. In Europe it was used for red stag and boar. In india and Africa it was used for sambar and plains game. It could be used for lion or tiger, but the dangerous game rifles of the period began with the 8 bore. As I mentioned in a previous post, the 500 can also be really challenging to regulate. If you try to use black powder, you'll find nothing today quite matches the old very fine rifle powders, and the nitro for black loads are usually very frustrating. That said, find a load it likes, and you would have a fun and effective 100m deer rifle."We sleep peaceably in our beds because rough men stand ready in the
night to visit violence on those who would do us harm" Winston Churchill

The price was $11000.00 which was a bit more than I wanted to spend for a "project", that would probably take more time then I have to dedicate just to get it where I want "on paper". I have to admit it was tempting. I think if it was a 4BORE, Id be living at the range, until I got it right.
Are there any issues traveling (FLYING, IMPORTING, etc) with BP shells? I know guys hunt in Alaska and Afrika with muzzle loaders; but Ive never heard any stories how they got to where they were gonna hunt.

Flying with BP is a very big NO-NO. Even in loaded shells. You can pick up BP here in Ak with no problems (other than the price). I've heard of other having their PH get the BP there or have it sent in on a special order to a gun shop.
I shoot my 500 BPE with light loads of smokeless(NFB-nitro for black) with good sucess. It's even a damascus barreled rifle!
Pick up a copy of Graeme Wright's book, 'Shooting the British Double rifle' to learn about loading NFB or full nitro loads.

At the National Journal, Josh Kraushaar's column asks the question, Has The Tea Party Peaked?
His answer is yes, and that is apparently good news for Republican incumbents who might have faced a serious Tea Party-fueled challenge in the 2014 midterm primaries.Kraushaar writes: All this is a far cry from the deeply antiestablishment, anti-incumbent sentiment that swept Washington for much of the last decade. Despite polling that shows Congress is as unpopular as ever, the intensity that drove Republican primary challengers seems to be abating. Over the last two elections, three sitting Republican senators were defeated in the primaries. Four House members apiece lost primaries in each of the last three House elections (not including the member-versus-member redistricting matchups). As significant is the fact that in the last two elections, at least 20 representatives (20 in 2010, 20-plus in 2012) won less than 60 percent of the vote in primaries—unusually high numbers that illustrated the anger at Washington across the country. Those numbers don't look like they'll be matched next year.

Chapter House Fresco: Prophet Hosea
The prophet Hosea. Detail of fresco in the chapter house (also known as the Chapel of the Dead) from about 1200 depicting the Crucifixion. Christ is shown in great agony and the other figures are highly expressive. The central crucifixion scene - which incorporates the traditional elements of the Virgin and St. John and sun and moon - is surrounded by the prophets Isaiah, Jeremiah, Hosea and Philo Judaeus. Each prophet holds a scroll with the text of their prophecy about Christ. An inscription above the fresco proclaims that it was created in "a hundred days minus one."
