"A troublesome headache might not be a migraine or a tension headache," said otolaryngologist Wayland Wong, M.D., "it could be caused by sinus problems.
"The sinuses are air-filled spaces in the skull located behind our cheeks, forehead, eyes and the bridge of our nose. The sinuses work to moisten and cleanse the air we breathe. However sometimes, our sinuses fail to work properly, which leads to sinus pain that may be caused by an infection or nasal congestion.
"One of the first steps a physician takes when seeing a person complaining of headache pain is to determine if the pain is sinus related," Dr. Wong continued. "It is especially important to accurately diagnose the source of the headache pain, so that the correct treatment is prescribed. For example, treating a migraine like a sinus headache or vice versa is not effective. In addition, many headache symptoms can be mistaken for a sinus headache, such as pain in the cheek area which could be the result of a toothache."
Both migraines and sinus headaches have common symptoms including:
- Pain in the head, particularly the forehead.
- Itchy or watery eyes.
- Pain associated with movement.
However, each type of headache also has unique symptoms:
Symptoms of a Sinus Headache Symptoms of a Migraine
Nasal discharge that is yellow/green Clear nasal discharge
Fever Nausea/vomiting
Pressure/pain over infected sinus Light/sound/smell sensitivity
Throbbing pain on one or both sides
Sinus headaches usually occur along with congestion. "The drainage passageways of the sinuses into the nose can get blocked and fluid can accumulate in the sinuses, causing pressure," Dr. Wong added. "Many things can cause sinus pressure and pain, such as sinus infections, nasal allergies, nasal polyps, septal deviations as well as enlarged vascular structures in the nose called turbinates. Sinus pain can also be aggravated by the weather or even plane travel due to changes in the air pressure.
"Migraine is usually to blame in people who have frequent, severe headaches. Migraines typically include nausea or vomiting or sensitivity to light or sound. In addition, there is usually severe throbbing pain on one side of the head."
Sinus Treatment
"The treatment of sinusitis is usually directed toward symptom relief and clearing up the source of the inflammation or infection," Dr. Wong advised. "Common treatments can include antibiotics, saline irrigations to wash and moisturize the mucous membranes, decongestants, nasal steroid spray or antihistamines. Other drugs to treat sinus infections include pain relievers and vasoconstrictors, which decrease nasal congestion. If the pain continues after using pain relievers, corticosteroids may be prescribed to further decrease inflammation. New forms of treatment are also available including nasal- powered irrigation systems."
At least 20 percent of people with chronic sinusitis do not respond adequately to medications. "While there is no cure for chronic sinusitis, surgery has been shown to enhance the quality of life in people for whom medical therapy is ineffective," Dr. Wong advised.
Dr. Wong offers balloon sinuplasty for the treatment of chronic sinusitis, using minimally invasive technology to position a balloon into the blocked sinus passageway, which is then inflated to gently open the passageway and facilitate normal drainage.
Migraine Treatment
Migraine treatment isn't just about stopping a migraine once it starts. It also involves preventing the headache and reducing its frequency, severity, and duration. Drugs called triptans are used during a migraine attack to reduce pain and restore function. Other drugs that were first developed to treat epilepsy, depression, and hypertension can be used to prevent migraine attacks.
Learning your migraine triggers and avoiding them is important for migraine sufferers. These triggers may include lack of sleep, alcohol use, food sensitivity, etc. Stress-reducing therapies - such as exercise, relaxation or therapeutic massage may also help prevent the recurrence and severity of migraines.
When to Get Help: If your headaches interfere with your daily life or don't respond to over-the-counter medications, it's time to see a doctor. In addition, seek medical help immediately if you have a headache that:
- Gets progressively and significantly worse.
- Is associated with neurological symptoms like loss of vision or muscle weakness.
- Is accompanied by a fever or a stiff neck.
Dr. Wong is affiliated with Salem Ear, Nose and Throat and the Advanced Sinus Center at Salem Community Hospital. For more information about the treatment of sinusitis, call Dr. Wong's office at 330-337-4900, which is located on the second floor of the Salem Medical Center across from Salem Community Hospital, at 2094 East State Street, Suite A, in Salem.

Once upon a time in Los Angeles, there was a very real gangster named Mickey Cohen. Any resemblance between Sean Penn in "Gangster Squad" and that guy – a publicity-hungry man about town who squired strippers around and took it hard when his pal Bugsy Siegel went to that great Vegas in the sky – is purely accidental.
But then despite distant origins in a seven-part Los Angeles Times series written by reporter Paul Lieberman, you'd have to say that about the whole movie, a silly, bullet-riddled knockoff-noir that somehow turns Cohen into LA's "Public Enemy No. 1" even though there are those lawmen who rated him "no higher than the leading public nuisance." (See Bruce Henstell's entry in ex-Buffalonian Lawrence Bock's anthology "Gangsters, Swindlers, Killers & Thieves: The Lives and Crimes of Fifty American Villains.")
The two times, for instance, Cohen did serious jail time, it was only for tax evasion.
Lieberman turned his L.A. Times series into a book that was then turned into a film script by writer Will Beall of TV's "Castle" (not exactly a bedrock of realism, eh?) and is now an entertainingly foolish shoot-em-up called "Gangster Squad."
They love this tale out in LA's movie boardrooms – the secret squad of cowboy cops inside LA's police force in the late 1940s and '50s, charged with bouncing organized crime out of town. The James Ellroy novel of it, "L.A. Confidential," was turned into a great 1997 movie. The year before, the not-as-great "Mullholland Falls" told us about the same guys in a movie starring Nick Nolte.
Nolte's in this one, too, 16 years later, looking and sounding a bit like a beached walrus. He plays Police Chief William F. Parker, who gave his name to LA's police center and was, in life, a merry paranoid known to blame communists for the existence of organized crime.
You no doubt remember TV's version of "The Hat Squad" based, again, on the real guerrilla squad inside the LA cops.
The real Hat Squad – whose very idea now could terrify any genuinely law-abiding citizen – was known for its immense beef and brawn underneath their fedoras.
In the movie, the "Gangster Squad" is comprised of, among other actors, Josh Brolin, Ryan Gosling and Giovanni Ribisi, the latter two looking as if a good stiff Santa Ana breeze could knock them on their patoots. (Nor is Brolin – recently busted on New Year's Eve in LA for "public intoxication" – all that beefy either.)
Cohen is played by Penn, looking a bit like a miniature Frankenstein monster and having a grandly hammy time in the role (accounting, in truth, for a good half of my enjoyment).
Given the amount of gunplay in this movie, I suppose one could easily deplore its pseudo-noir silliness. Cohen's idea of wit, for instance, is to tell a betraying thug, "it's like they say, all good things shall be burned to the ground for the insurance money." Next thing you know, that very thing happens to a building in which the betrayer is trapped in a burning elevator.
When Cohen tells his meanest lieutenants "you know the drill" about dealing with an underling who's just lost a giant drug shipment, what you see in the next scene is the two guys dispatching the incompetent with a very real drill. At that point, you'll remember that director Ruben Fleischer directed "Zombieland."
Writer Beall's "Castle"-esque version of noir turns the word "sophisticated" into the past tense of a transitive verb synonymous with sexual intercourse. You've got to guess that the real "Gangster Squad" played very different games.
Brolin plays O'Mara, the head of the squad who assembles them all with the advice of his brainy, pregnant wife (played by Mireille Enos of "The Killing"). Gosling plays his pretty boy No. 2 who has a "smart mouth, but he's dumb where it counts" (an eloquent description, in fact, of the whole movie).
A deeply foolish piece of work, in every way, let's admit, which is why all the gunplay can't be taken seriously in the slightest.
The hats, though, all look great – even Penn's Leo Gorcey/Tom Waits fedora with the front brim flipped up.

These templates have been created to enable K-State units to build websites in the k-state.edu style. The step-by-step instructions are written so that web authors with a basic understanding of HTML and Cascading Style Sheets can quickly and easily deploy ready-made pages that conform to the K-State style and integrate seamlessly with K-State's online presence.
The templates are coded using valid, semantic XHTML 1.0 Transitional for structure and valid CSS for presentation. The look and feel of each template is controlled by the stylesheets.
The templates use a set of K-State standard "include files" to pull in K-State's header and footer code, stylesheets, and optionally, the left navigation sidebar file. This reduces the amount of code that you see in your template and provides the ability to update the stylesheet and code globally and remotely in cases such as the release of a new browser.
To get started with templates, use the Template Selector to create your unit templates. The Template Selector allows you to select the page layout and navigation options you prefer. Then, you can preview your selections and copy the template to your unit directory. You can create as many templates as you need.
The templates include advanced options, such as changing colors, adding photos and feature text, and including an additional stylesheet for site-specific style. For details, see Advanced features.
There are three page layouts to select from. The two-column template is the most commonly used template with consistent navigation and unit contact information. Most sites will start with this template and use the three-column when additional page-specific information is required.
The two- and three-column templates have a left-hand column designed for your site navigation. Using this navigation is strongly recommended in order to provide consistent navigation throughout your website.
You have the option to store the left navigation in a separate file. This allows your navigation to be stored in one place and show up exactly the same on each webpage in your site. It also allows you to make navigation changes in one file and have the changes show up on all your webpages.
If you select the "separate left navigation file" in the Template Selector, the program will create an "includes" directory that contains a sidebar.html file with the navigation code, and will copy those to your web space. The template you receive will have code to automatically pull in the sidebar.html file when you view it on the Web.
If you select "leave left navigation in template" in the Template Selector, the template you receive will contain all the code in one file. This will require adding and editing navigation links on each webpage you create.
Optional tabs can be added at the top of the main content as navigation categories for your site. However, tabs are only recommended for sites with specific navigation criteria. Sites with seven or fewer navigation links that use short titles, one- to two-word phrases, might consider using tab navigation.
Otherwise, the left column in the two-column template provides a more flexible navigation structure than tabs. Links can be longer, the width of the browser window does not limit the number of navigation links, and sub links can easily be added and accessed.
When using tab navigation, don't duplicate the tab categories in the left column. Use the left navigation column for tab-specific links, those links directly related to the tab that is selected.
If you select "Add tab navigation" in the Template Selector, the program will create an "includes" directory that contains a tabs.html file with the navigation code, and will copy those to your web space. The template you receive will automatically have code to pull in the tabs.html file when you view it on the web. Edit the tabs.html file to add your tab navigation content.
Example: Tab navigation template
Provide the unit or department name that you want to see in the header of your page as well as in the HTML title tag.
Tip: Don't use "K-State" or "Kansas State University" unless it's an official part of your unit's name. You can often also leave out "Office of" or "Department of" in order to present a clearer, shorter title.
You can change both the header title and the HTML title tag anytime in your template or webpages.
Your unit's web directory is the space or location on the central web server. In your web address, it is most often the part after k-state.edu. (Example: http://www.k-state.edu/cns)
If your unit doesn't have a directory, use the registration form to request one.

A device created and cultivated to produce the true born Nebraskan. It contains their biggest export of wool along with the sensual masturbate device called the "Pocket Pussy". It enhances the animal instinct of Nebraskan folk and intensifies the pleasure of one man in particular. It satisfies the indulging need of sexual intercourse when he "can't get any". This term is the purgatory status of being a virgin and the old fashion self-help masturbation. The Barnes' Girlfriend is in local stores near you, if you are in Nebraska.
A guy was "struggle busing" today on getting a new girlfriend and so he met with his Barnes' Girlfriend in bed that night.

reported earlier today that some shakeups were on the way from
Microsoft with regards to its Entertainment & Devices Division.
It had already been widely speculated that J. Allard, chief
experience officer and chief technology officer, was leaving. It was
also reported that Robbie Bach could also be shown the door.
now reports that both Allard and Bach are leaving Microsoft.
According to TechFlash's Todd Bishop, the departure of Allard
and Bach will give CEO Steve Ballmer more direct control over
Microsoft's struggling sectors (namely its Zune and Windows Mobile
Although there has been speculation that Allard might jump ship to
Google and work on that
company's tablet efforts, he refuted those claims and said that
he wants to unwind for a bit and tackle "personal interests"
after working at Microsoft for 19 years.
For his part, Ballmer stated the following in a company email
announcing the departures:
Transitions are always hard. Robbie
has been an instrumental part of so many key moments in Microsoft
history — from the evolution of Office to the decision to create
the first Xbox to pushing the company hard in entertainment overall.
J as well has had a great impact in the market and on our culture,
providing leadership in design, and in creating a passionate and
involved Xbox community, and earlier being at the center of our work
seizing the importance of the Web for the company...
Both have been great team builders
with a strong record of attracting, coaching and growing talent. As a
result, their teams are primed to continue to step up and deliver
great products, great services and great results for the company.
You can read Ballmer's full email to the troops here.
quote: You likely were interested in drag-n-drop because you were managing your music via some other app.
quote: On a Zune, especially an 80 or 120 which holds a lot of music, new albums will get lost in an ocean of other older music, sometimes disapearing for months.
quote: I could go on and on and on about the many ways the Zune software takes control of my mp3 files in ways that are not welcome, but you probably get the point.
quote: Hopefully one day Microsoft will wise up and stop playing copycat with Apple. If you don't like the Apple model, then it doesn't matter if Microsoft beats Apple at its own game.
quote: As for new albums getting lost for months...never happens. I can sort any music by date added...in fact in the Zune software that is the default. In addition new albums (or playlists) get automatically placed as a ZuneHD front page "tile" on the device under "new" (there is also recent and pins)
quote: No, I don't get your point. Please do go on and on about what horrible things it does to your mp3 files. Curiously it does nothing horrible to mine so I have no idea what you are talking about.
quote: Hopefully they WON'T. They've massacred Apple at their own game. I'm Just not wanting to organize my crap the same way I did back in circa 1997 when the Napster craze was in full swing. It was the best back then but times have changed.
quote: no, I find music managers, even the best of them like MediaMonkey to be far less efficent and powerfull then proper MTP mode with windows explorer, I can drag, drop and create new folders, select files+rclick and make a playlist, its really FAR FAR less WORK then dealing with getting the zune software or itunes or any of that CRAP to let me do the same thing.
quote: No, it's not better in almost every regard. The only point which can be argued is the UI's better, but that's simply a matter of personal preference. My iPod has 500 available accessories for every one for a Zune, and honestly saying 500:1 I might be giving MS too much credit.
quote: iTunes is better, for the smart playlists alone. I know Zune supports some sort of auto smart playlists. But what Apple had done with them is simply amazing.
quote: Lesse, I can't think of anything her Zune does better. Wireless Sync is a boring feature, and it's on the Touch now so that's a moot point
quote: And personally I like my Touch's UI better. The Zune HD is a lot better than the old 30's, but it's still not as good. The 30's were fucking horrible to use. iPod also gets more points in its favor because I can use a dozen different programs to sync. Zune has one, and the software is a POS which took all the mp3's I spent months organizing and properly tagging. And without asking me changed cover art & ID3 tags on about 70% of my music. Very randomly, I'm still trying to fix everything MS's software fucked up.
quote: MS is trying to out ipod the ipod
quote: I also dont care to read Jason Micks articles anymore as they are 95% history recap/BS and 10% content.

A former pipeline construction worker was sentenced Friday to 1 year and a day in federal prison after pleading guilty last year to purposefully and willfully damaging a Marcellus Shale natural gas pipeline in Cogan House Township in June 2011.
Henry Virgil Benton, 46, of Bradford, Ark., used a track hoe to excavate the pipeline belonging to Chief Oil & Gas LLC and damaged, dented and opened holes in the pipeline. He accepted a plea agreement last July to the federal charge of willfully and knowingly damaging a pipeline during excavation activity.
Benton worked for Holloman Construction, a Texas-based contractor, and was terminated by the company. Although he's making steady payments toward restitution, he has $121,100 to pay back the company.
"I'm truly sorry all this came about," Benton said at the sentencing before U.S. Middle District Judge John E. Jones III. "It was an unfortunate set of circumstances."
Jones noted Benton committed multiple incidents of damage and that if he did not impose a sentence of prison it would do little to deter similar activities from occurring. The underlying question was his motive.
"I'm not sure what motivated you to do this," Jones said. "The best I can figure is it was a fit of anger. You are largely a decent person and a stand-up guy."
Jones said the case was sad and tragic because of the amount of money it has cost Benton due to restitution and court costs, money that could much better be served going to his family.
"You're a skilled equipment operator and one in great demand," Jones said. "But you hit pipeline with heavy equipment and deserve a federal sentence."
Jones made him eligible for supervised release after the prison sentence is served. Benton's criminal history included illegal drug and firearm possession and assault.
"Was it work place hooliganism or industrial sabotage?" Assistant U.S. Attorney George Rocktashel asked. Either way, Benton's actions had implications for the national interest, Rocktashel said. While the line was not filled with gas, it was designed to connect to one that provided for interstate transmission of gas to users nationally and for export purposes.
Transmission of the fuel source not only has regional importance, in providing employment and contributing to the economy, but is meant to reduce the nation's energy dependence on foreign sources of energy, Rocktashel said.
Benton was represented by D. Toni Byrd, a federal public defender, who said his family describes him as a caring, kind and hardworking man.
"He had drug problems in the past," she said.
The case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and state police.
Jones has recommended he serve at a prison in Arkansas to be near his family and wanted him to get the sentence over with and get back into the workforce because of his skill, his need to make whole restitution to the company and provide an income for his family.

Elkins has received a MTRP Grant from First Energy Power for city trees.
The Municipal Tree Restoration Program grant is awarded to help prevent power outages by making sure that only small trees that will NOT grow into power lines are planted under them.
Planting small trees, such as redbuds, dogwoods, serviceberry and lilac trees under power lines in street tree-lawns can prevent power outages caused by falling tree limbs. Residents benefit by receiving free trees for street tree-lawns and city right-of-ways that are located under power lines and having fewer power outages. The power company saves time and money on pruning and repairs.
A total of 23 trees have been purchased with this grant. These are high quality, nursery grade trees that will be planted by a professional landscaper. The trees are a gift to property owners. The only commitment is that trees must be watered for the first three summers and pruned in the second and third year after planting. If assistance is needed, the Tree Board or Friends of Trees can find volunteers to adopt the trees for the first three years.
Locations have to be approved by the power company. Streets that have been impacted by tree removal in the past year, such as Eleventh Street, Central Street and Center Street, as well as City Park have priority for receiving trees. We will also try to honor requests received in response to last June's query for tree planting locations.
Notices will be left at the properties where trees will be planted in the next week. If you get a notice but do not want a tree in your tree-lawn you can opt out by emailing or calling the Tree Board when you get the notice. Someone else will be happy to take it.
There is a very short window of time to plant the trees before winter sets in and meet the grant requirements. Delays were caused by the massive impact of the summer Derecho and the recent destruction by Sandy on power company time. Planting must proceed in the next three weeks.
Elkins needs many more trees than this MTRP grant can fund. The Tree Board is working hard to locate other grants that will not be limited to power line locations. We hope to get another Demonstration City grant. If you have information about grants, locations that need trees or would like to become a Tree Volunteer, please email firstname.lastname@example.com or leave a message at City Hall at 304-636-1414 ext. 1110.

For Women Who Want The Ballerific Life!
Federal and State departments announced their intervention into the botched investigation and coincides with Gov. Rick Scott's requests for the FDLE to get involved and offer proper resources to investigate the case. I pray Zimmerman gets f***** hard and raw up the buttonhole and gets his sorry, racist ass kicked around the pen daily once he is convicted.
Views: 385
Yeah, saw this and I'll hold my opinion until they arrest this guy.
LMAO at Miss Midwest! Thanks for the update! I hope the same thing, no vaseline!
I just read this open letter to Trayvon -find it here, and it seriously brought some tears to my eyes, and a weak feeling to my body.
We all need to keep this going, sign the petition, spread the word. Justice for Trayvon -- one huge step closer the state departments and FBI getting involved!!
This story gets more sad by the minute:
"He said this man was watching him, so he put his hoodie on. He said he lost the man," Martin's friend said. "I asked Trayvon to run, and he said he was going to walk fast. I told him to run, but he said he was not going to run."
Eventually, he would run, said the girl, thinking that he'd managed to escape. But suddenly the strange man was back, cornering Martin.
"Trayvon said, 'What are you following me for,' and the man said, 'What are you doing here.' Next thing I hear is somebody pushing, and somebody pushed Trayvon because the head set just fell. I called him again, and he didn't answer the phone."
The line went dead. Besides screams heard on 911 calls that night as Martin and Zimmerman scuffled, those were the last words he said.
Trayvon's phone logs, also obtained exclusively by ABC News, show the conversation occurred five minutes before police first arrived on the scene. Crump said the girl's identity was being withheld because "her parents are gravely concerned about her health and her safety." Her parents asked that only an attorney be allowed to ask her questions.
Martin's father, Tracey Martin, and mother, Sybrina Fulton, listened to the call, along with ABC News, ashen-faced.
"He knew he was being followed and tried to get away from the guy, and the guy still caught up with him," Tracey Martin said. "And that's the most disturbing part. He thought he had got away from the guy, and the guy backtracked for him."
The girl was so distraught after the killing that she spent a night in the hospital, the lawyer said.
"She was really traumatized over this. They were dating. ... It's a situation where to know you were the last person to talk to the young man who was one of the most special persons in the world to you," Crump said.
The lawyer said he would give the details of the phone call to the federal investigation.
"We're going to turn this over to the Justice Department because the family does not trust the Sanford Police Department to have anything to do with the investigation," said Crump.
Zimmerman killed Martin as Martin walked back to his father's fiance's home after stepping out to buy snacks during the NBA All-Star Game. After weeks of relentless pressure, the Sanford Police Department at last released emergency and nonemergency calls placed during the attack.
"These a**holes always get away," Zimmerman said in a call to a nonemergency number.
Dispatcher: "Are you following him?"
Zimmerman: "Yeah."
Dispatcher: "We don't need you to do that."
An altercation soon ensued. A few moments later a torrent of 911 calls flooded in and Martin was killed by a single bullet. Zimmerman claimed self-defense and has yet to be arrested, stoking outrage and claims of prejudice against the police department.
"When George Zimmerman is arrested, tried and convicted I will get a little rest," Tracey Martin said.
Anybody in NYC there will a March/Rally at Union Square tonight from6-9 p.m.
smh......on top of a senseless killing, trayvon's girlfriend is mentally f***** all up now 2. smh
im suprised this dude is not dead yet. where im from, he would have been missing by now.
Everyday I read something that makes this more heart breaking and brings me more tear.......I hope they do what ever it takes to get him some piece of justice
The disbatcher told him to stop following this little boy and he did it anyway, the girlfriend was on the phone and the little boy was scared, we heard the recordings.. what else is it going to take?
So sad.. dude sounded like a nut on the phone. I just understand how they say it was self defense when he called the police and the dispatcher said stop FOLLOWING him.
SACK CHASER said:
My cousin works with his Mother. she said he was a good kid with a bright fufure ahead of him. She also said she had to leave the viewing once she saw fhe Mother's reation to seeing hher son in the casket.
I wish i could make it to the rally in Sanford tomorrow, but i get off too late; may try to leave early and drive up there.

Summit Hearing Solution's Ted Blanford remembers his 92 year old grandmother's words, "I only have one thing to give to my grandchildren and that is my soul. That comes with conversation. I cannot give my soul and the answers that they need if I can't hear the questions they are asking."
If you have fond memories of sharing life experiences with your parent or grandparent, you know how important hearing can be. Studies show that people with hearing loss withdraw, talk less and isolate themselves because of frustration & embarrassment.
Summit Hearing Solutions' mission is helping you connect with those you love. Join Ted Blanford, Senior Hearing Instrument Specialist, as he discusses ways to help reconnect your family with grandma, grandpa, mom or dad enabling them to share their soul.
Ted Blanford also answers questions from viewers.

And things like cute clothes for my kids and family trips to the zoo and so on and so on. And maybe even being able to spread the love and give some things away to you. These things are what I consider wonderful perks to having this space here online.
I try to keep this area neat and tidy with only my deepest thoughts and photos, but all that stuff IS part of my life. And if I'm being really real, in no way is my life neat and tidy like this blog. (Which by the way might be getting a makeover this weekend thanks to Beth. Not to be confused with the blog makeover I won along with a NEW LAPTOP last night. I'll get that makeover at a later date. However, I am so hoping that laptop comes, like, TODAY.)
Anyway. That's the story of my stuff for now.
Thank you so much for being a part of this. It's because of you I won the laptop, it's because of you that I am offered more stuff, and I'm realizing it's because of you that I want to come back here and write everyday.
Not because of the stuff. But because of you.
(I just got teary. True story.)

Nothing Beats Immunoassays for Sensitivity, Specificity,...
Quadruple Helices Appear To Have Role...
Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
Beware of Obstructions in the Upstream...
Most biotech professionals are aware that plant-based expression systems hold promise for cost-effective commercial-scale manufacture of recombinant proteins. But relatively few realize how near commercialization many of these are. With truly global, one-billion-doses-per-year-scale manufacturing facilities now under construction for influenza virus and other vaccine manufacture, these products have the potential to rapidly change the expression system landscape.
Plant expression systems are becoming practical alternatives to the standard expression systems that have been used for several decades for biopharmaceutical manufacture. As plant-based recombinant protein, particularly vaccine, manufacture comes online, this will change many of the current industry paradigms. Despite the advances, few in the biotech industry are familiar with plant expression systems and their advantages.
This is partly evidenced by the relatively few companies exploring these technologies for commercial production. BioPlan's recent survey of biopharmaceutical manufacturers reported that only 14% of respondents expected to increase manufacturing in the next five years using plant expression systems and only 10% projected expanding manufacturing capacity by >100% in the next five years using plant expression systems.
According to the study, most companies planning future capacity expansions report that their focus will continue to be on familiar mammalian cell, bacterial, and yeast expression technologies. Many will not look beyond these for regulatory reasons or simply due to inertia borne from unfamiliarity.
There are a large number of plant expression systems in various stages of development and commercialization available for licensing. This includes plants and technology platforms such as bioreactor culture of plant cells, algae, and moss; plants grown hydroponically or otherwise within greenhouses or other closed facilities; and common food crops and other plants grown in open fields.
New technologies are increasingly allowing customization of transformed plant cells for growth in culture or as whole plants, including knocking-out of plant genes related to plant-specific glycosylation of proteins capable of causing immune responses in humans and splicing-in of human and other glycosylation genes, allowing humanization or expression of human-like, nonimmunogenic recombinant proteins.
The first wave of plant-expressed proteins are expected to be vaccines either expressed in plants grown hydroponically or otherwise within greenhouses or controlled fields and plant cell culture. This is due to concerns about genetically modified (GM) plants cross-pollenating and/or being mixed with non-GM food crops, particularly in Europe. Cell culture and growth indoors or on secured outdoor fields are expected to present fewer environmental and public concerns than pharmaceuticals manufactured in traditional methods in food crops.
There are potentially significant cost savings through these plant-based technologies for manufacture of recombinant proteins. The costs of goods and the manufacture of recombinant proteins in most plant systems tend to be lower than that for conventional recombinant protein manufacture.
Much as with high-yield conventional recombinant protein manufacturing technologies, as upstream yield increases and costs decrease, downstream purification costs generally increase. Methods for pharmaceutical-grade purification of proteins from plants has lagged behind those associated with conventional recombinant methods, but improved large-scale plant protein purification technologies are maturing and will likely be available when needed.
The first commercial uses of recombinant protein technologies sometimes show up initially in veterinary vaccines. In January 2006, the USDA approved the first plant-made vaccine, Concert, from Dow AgroSciences. This is a recombinant Newcastle disease (poultry) vaccine manufactured from viral antigen expressed from culture of transformed tobacco plant cells.
Today, vaccines are the leading class of products involved in the commercialization of plant expression technologies. Many vaccines are currently in development. These are being led by influenza vaccines, with multiple world-scale manufacturing facilities now under construction.
As these technologies progress, plant-expressed vaccines are likely to have a substantial impact on the industry, and may ultimately change many of the current biopharmaceutical industry preferences for recombinant (glyco)protein manufacture.

Zimmermann & de Perrot FRIDAY SOLD OUT. With a great deal of mischief but at the same time anger and depth, the duo Zimmermann & de Perrot present a disconcertingly original marriage of theatre, circus and dance. Supported by five circus artists and dancers, these two directors, who now enjoy dazzling success, have far exceeded all expectations in their new work.

ATV access would benefit seniors
July 27, 2013
Editor: I appreciate the response from Monongahela Forest Supervisor Clyde Thompson about our proposal to allow ATVs on existing forest service roads that are presently open to all other motor......
Bwahaha....a liberal stating we can't punish everyone for what a few do is absolutely HILARIOUS.
Obama/democrats do that ALL THE TIME.
2 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Pure- Your post couldn't be more wrong. Many (UTV's especially) do have DOT approved Radial tires and ARE street legal depending on local codes. UTV's do have seatbelts, but I know we are also talking about ATV's. Let's think about this, the only safety feature required for a motorcycle is a helmet. That could be easliy adopted for ATV/UTV's. And if they are being ridden on the road they ARE required to have insurance on them. You are correct in that there are idiots that ride them incorrectly, but there are also idiots that drive vehicles incorrectly. Do you want to punish everyone who drives a vehicle because of those few as well?

Hey memyselfandI .... so you don't believe anyone should 'punish everyone' for what 'some' do??? Yeah, there's HOPE for you after all, maybe....
Please write Obama and democrats in congress that one and tell them they cannot "punish" every gun owner because of what a few NUTS do! Hmm....somehow I don't think the left will do that because they only apply laws and logic to the other side of the aisle and think THEY themselves are IMMUNE to our laws and common sense!!

I should've been a little more clear. My comment wasn't directed at keeping ATV's out of National Forests...it was more for Puremagix's comment about outlawing ATV's altogether...and calling everyone that rides them morons & trash. My family owns ATV's but we don't tear up anybody's land. We also don't ride on the roadways or anywhere we aren't supposed to. We also don't throw trash in people's yards...nor do we fly by people's homes where they may have kids &/or pets. I actually agree that it's a bad idea to open our National Forests to the use of ATV's because there will always be some idiot in there tearing something up to ruin it for the rest of us. As for grouping everyone who owns an ATV into the same category and calling them morons & etc? That's just ignorance. If that opinion makes me a liberal...whatever.

In the private sector, a night watchman caught failing to make his rounds and falsifying documents to make it appear he had probably would be fired. Perhaps he could get a new job in the Ohio prison system.
After Ariel Castro committed suicide at the state Corrections Reception Center in Orient, Ohio, officials launched an investigation. Castro, who kidnapped three women and imprisoned them in his Cleveland home for about a decade, hanged himself on Sept. 3.
Part of the investigation was to determine whether mistakes by three corrections officers on duty the night Castro killed himself were responsible for the death. The officers were Caleb Ackley, Matthew Gleason and Ryan Murphy.
Investigators determined Castro's death probably could not have been prevented. He had been checked just a few minutes before he killed himself.
But it also was learned that Ackley, Gleason and Murphy had failed to make rounds of cells, as they were required to do. In addition, they falsified electronic logs to make it appear they had done their jobs.
The three had been suspended with pay. After the investigation ended, state officials placed the guards on "last-chance agreements." That means they are on strict probation for two years.
It does not appear the trio lost a day's pay. They were allowed to take several days off work - while still receiving paychecks. Their offenses were punished with a severe "don't do it again," in effect.
This is part of a pattern in government at all levels. Incompetence is punished by reprimands - if even that. Criminal misconduct means probation. No one ever seems to be fired. No one ever seems to be prosecuted. All too often, unacceptable performance in one job means a transfer to a new one at higher pay.
Apparently, that is seen as "good enough for government work."
Well, it isn't good enough. It isn't even acceptable.
If elected officials won't penalize incompetence and punish crimes, perhaps voters should put people in office who will do so.

McVEYTOWN - A fire destroyed a garage in Oliver Township on Friday, McVeytown Fire Co. Chief Barry Sunderland Sr. said.
Mifflin County Emergency Dispatch said they received the call at 8:38 p.m., which reported the garage at 10 Goss Creek Lane on fire. Sunderland said homeowner Robert Goss was burning some garbage next to the two-bay garage and went back inside his home.
Later, when he heard some small popping noises, he went outside to investigate. At that time he discovered the garage engulfed in flames. Sunderland said when firefighters arrived they were initially delayed because of the wooden bridge leading to the home. Once firefighters were able to get access to the garage they witnessed some small explosions, and it took them 15 to 20 minutes to get the fire under control, according to Sunderland. He said no injuries occurred, but the garage was destroyed.

It's been 30 years since two of the greatest teams in the history of professional wrestling first embarked on a journey that would be fondly remembered three decades later by a generation of fans.
Those two teams will be honored at the Mid-Atlantic Wrestling Legends Fanfest on Aug. 1-4 in Charlotte.
The Rock 'N' Roll Express (Ricky Morton and Robert Gibson) and The Midnight Express (Bobby Eaton, Dennis Condrey and Stan Lane), along with manager Jim Cornette, will be inducted into the Hall of Heroes during that weekend. Lane, who took Condrey's place in the Midnight Express for a four-year-period, will be unable to attend due to a prior commitment.
Cornette also will be hosting a midnight Q&A session titled "Cornette: Unplugged and Uncensored," with all five taking part in a "Mid-Atlantic Memories" documentary project.
And you can bet your bottom dollar that Cornette will be wielding his signature "Louisville Slugger" tennis racket.
It's the same racket that the outspoken manager used to swat Morton and Gibson with more times than he can remember.
Cornette figures the two teams locked horns on several hundred occasions, and that's probably the number of times he whacked his team's archrivals over their heads.
"I don't know that there might have been a match where I didn't slap one of them with the racket," he laughs.
The opinionated but entertaining Cornette, who has taken time off from the wrestling business since last November, will be making his only wrestling-related appearance of the year at Fanfest. He says he'll give an amusing account of when "I finally realized I needed to get away from the wrestling business for my own health and sanity."
It promises to be an event that very well could be remembered for another 30 years.
"I'm really looking forward to this. Being inducted is a great honor," says Gibson.
"It's a chance for us to give back to the fans. We've always put the fans No. 1. It's good to come back and see old friends where grudges are forgotten."
"I love the fans," says Morton. "That's what I like so much about Fanfest. People come from all over ... even different countries. It's a great event."
The Rock 'N' Roll Express and Midnight Express collectively held more than a hundred tag-team titles and can legitimately lay claim to one of the greatest and longest-running feuds in pro wrestling history.
"What makes this so special is that we're the first tag team in history to go this far," says Gibson.
Cornette says it would be difficult for fans to ever forget The Midnight Express.
"The crowds were so big at that time, that if anybody is going to remember anything, they're going to remember that. The matches also always delivered. Nobody ever went and saw The Midnight Express and thought their match was bad."
Ageless babyfaces
Just what makes a group of performers so beloved (and others once so hated) all these years later?
If you're a longtime fan, and particularly a follower of the popular Mid-Atlantic variety, you can probably still remember the pulsating chant that reverberated off the walls of every building where Mid-Atlantic wrestling was held during the '80s.
"Rock and Roll! Rock and Roll! Rock and Roll!"
Fans still chant their names.
It became an anthem for one of the most popular teams of that era.
Ricky Morton and Robert Gibson were The Beatles of the wrestling scene as they combined sex appeal with high energy and talent in the ring.
Thirty years later, their hair is thinner and those adoring teenybopper fans have children of their own, but Morton and Gibson are still entertaining wrestling crowds and keeping the memories alive.
"I can still perform as good as I did years ago. If I couldn't perform, I wouldn't do it," says Morton, 56, who still proudly sports his familiar blond mullet. He even has a shirt in his collection with "MWO" (Mullet World Order) emblazoned on it.
"I've had my share of injuries, but nothing I couldn't recover from. But you never know what tomorrow brings. I'm not a bodybuilder. I've got a little belly. And I gave up my modeling career years ago," he laughs.
Gibson, 54, also sees no end to their 30-year run — the longest continuous tag-team run in wrestling history.
"Age is just a number. It's how you keep yourself in shape that counts," he says.
They still remember how the business was when they first started teaming in 1983.
"Everywhere we went we drew money and broke records," says Gibson. "(Rock 'N' Roll vs. Midnight Express) was the longest feud in history. It was amazing."
Gibson recalls the night he and Morton pulled up to the front door of an arena in Lafayette, La., where the two were wrestling that night. A news station was on hand, and a reporter asked them who they were.
A puzzled Gibson asked the newsman what he meant by the question. The reporter informed Gibson that fans had been camping out for days trying to score tickets, and he merely wanted to know what this phenomenon was all about.
Gibson answered simply: "We're Ricky and Robert ... The Rock 'N' Roll Express."
Rock 'N' Roll craze
The Rock 'N' Roll Express phenomenon started in Memphis in 1983 when promoter Jerry Lawler, looking for a young babyface tag team, paired up Ricky Morton and Robert Gibson.
Morton had been working in San Antonio for promoter Joe Blanchard, while Gibson was working in Pensacola for promoters Ron and Robert Fuller.
The R&R Express (standing for Ricky and Robert) was considered as a name for the new team before it eventually evolved to The Rock 'N' Roll Express. The new moniker, says Morton, was a collaborative effort between Lawler and Jimmy Hart, who helped produce the team's first music video, Joan Jett's "I Love Rock 'N' Roll."
"They were friends, and Jimmy was into the rock and roll. Lawler put us together, and Jimmy Hart really came up with the name. It worked out great for us."
Their first arena show as The Rock 'N' Roll Express was on March 13, 1983, at the Mid-South Coliseum in Memphis.
Their second bout the following week was against The Galaxians (Danny Davis and Ken Wayne), a masked team managed by, no less, a young James E. Cornette.
"Their first program was against a team managed by me," says Cornette. "It was actually the best team I ever managed besides The Midnight because Danny Davis and Ken Wayne were incredible as a team."
"I remember the first day we did this," says Morton. "We really weren't prepared ... we didn't even know what kind of outfits to wear."
Lawler had a pair of skin-colored tights that he suggested for Gibson.
"He looked like he was naked," laughs Morton. "But then we went to a flea market behind Mid-South Coliseum and bought some bandanas, feathers, all kinds of stuff."
For Morton, a conventional wrestler who wasn't accustomed to a lot of bells and whistles, there was a definite feeling of uneasiness sporting the new rocker getup.
"I was kind of embarrassed. I was used to wearing regular wrestling stuff. But when they played our music, we went out and those people instantly bought it. The fans went crazy."
That is, adds Morton, all but one.
"One of the fans stopped me out back and said, 'Hell, I didn't know whether y'all were Indians or Gypsies," laughs Morton. "But from there we smoothed out all the rough edges."
Main-event act
The Rock 'N' Roll Express was a spinoff of another successful Memphis-based team, The Fabulous Ones (Stan Lane and Steve Keirn), who had been a takeoff on the Fabulous Fargos team from a previous generation. That team had set the Jerry Jarrett promotion on fire, drawing the biggest crowds that area had ever seen.
Lane, who years later would join Cornette's Midnight Express, had been a heel in Tennessee where he was managed by Jimmy Hart, but turned babyface in 1982 and was billed as the protégé of area legend Jackie Fargo.
With Fargo's endorsement, Lane and Keirn dubbed themselves The Fabulous Ones.
"Stan Lane and Steve Keirn were great workers, but they were in the footsteps of Jackie Fargo.
And they got the push. Robert and I were playing second fiddle," says Morton.
Enter Mid-South promoter Cowboy Bill Watts.
Watts and booker Bill Dundee brought Morton and Gibson to the sprawling Louisiana-based circuit.
The team immediately popped the territory.
"We were selling out every night," says Morton.
But, he adds, they needed a strong heel team to get them over.
They made fans take notice when they defeated the much larger duo of Nikolai Volkoff and Krusher Khruschev (Barry Darsow).
But Watts had bigger plans for the popular pair.
Virtually untested as a team when they arrived in Watts' territory in 1984, Morton and Gibson became a main-event act as crowds picked up to see them do battle with a team they would forever be linked with — Cornette's Midnight Express.
With Cornette's early Midnight version consisting of "Beautiful" Bobby Eaton and "Loverboy" Dennis Condrey, a well-oiled team made even better by Cornette's natural ability to infuriate fans, Morton and Gibson found the perfect opponents.
Cornette and his team had arrived in the territory shortly before Morton and Gibson, and were beating opponents on a nightly basis.
The two teams were no strangers.
"I had worked with Dennis and Bobby all my life," says Morton. "Dennis had been with Norvell Austin and Randy Rose. And then he and Phil Hickerson were partners. Bobby and Dennis were both great workers. We had been around each other for years."
The Mid-South territory became unglued when the two "Express" teams first locked horns.
"It went to a whole new level. The time we were there Bill Watts made more money than he ever did while owning his territory," says Morton.
"Watts had never used smaller guys. But we were pushed. There were such great workers at that time. Everybody knew how to do their job and they knew how to get us over. It worked out great."
Few teams, though, had as much chemistry working together as Rock 'N' Roll and Midnight.
"It was The Express vs. The Express. Plus, Jimmy Cornette was one of the greatest interviews ever," says Morton. "Every wrestling fan in the world hated him. He did his job so well. It was just something that clicked and clicked ... not only during the Bill Watts era, but all the time after. I loved it there. It gave us so much experience before we went into the Carolinas."
A famous series of scaffold matches between the two teams in November 1984 literally took the action to new heights.
For Morton, the experience was nothing short of terrifying.
"If you watch tapes of those matches, you can see that I'm just trying to hold on. It was an experience that I wouldn't recommend. And I'm scared of heights. I wouldn't even get on top of my house."
"We didn't do the thing where you took the big bumps off the scaffold," he adds. "We just did the thing where you'd drop and land on your feet .... because at the time bumps like that were unheard of."
While admitting it was "very scary," Gibson says he was much more relaxed on the scaffold than his partner.
"I was more or less the crazy one out there. I was jumping around. Thank God I never got hurt up there. Everybody else was like a cat trying to get a grip of everything."
"You get on top of that and it's unbelievable," adds Morton. "It was so high. But we got through it and we got over it. Every time we had that scaffold match we sold out. I gave it the best I could."
For Cornette, the scaffold matches were the "lowlights" of their program.
"You can't do much in a scaffold match. I couldn't really have any involvement so it wasn't that much fun for me."
It wasn't any fun for Cornette two years later, either, when he suffered a serious knee injury after falling from the edge of a 20-foot-high scaffold at the "Night of the Skywalkers" event at Starrcade '86.
Cornette made the mistake of landing with his legs locked and extended, and his bodyguard, Big Bubba Rogers, was out of position to catch the manager in mid-air and prevent any damage.
He still has knee problems to this day.
Cajun heat
Cornette says it didn't get any bigger than, as a 22-year-old, working main events in Houston and at the Superdome in New Orleans.
"I loved Houston. Those fans would go ballistic. We had a six-man one night with The Rock 'N' Roll and Jim Duggan against The Midnights and Ernie Ladd. The people were crazy off the charts. I was 22 years old and worked four times in the Superdome in the main event that year in front of a combined total of more than 65,000 people. It was so big that we had to take a golf cart to the ring."
But working that area also had it dangerous drawbacks, says Cornette.
"The fans in Lake Charles, La., were crazy. The Freebirds would get their tires cut, so they started driving to the police station and having the police bring them to the show. The fans then cut the tires on the police car that brought The Freebirds.
"They put Drano in water guns and tried to squirt (Skandor) Akbar in the eyes. We'd have a dozen cops circle us in a flying wedge and walk us to and from the ring, so fans had to get inventive to get at people. They shot glue into the keyholes of our cars. They lipsticked the headlights. If I was by myself and not traveling with the boys, I'd do drive-throughs. I wouldn't even get out of the car."
One night while driving down the interstate out of Lake Charles, says Cornette, fans tried to run them off the road.
"There were three lanes. We're in Dennis' van and he's driving. Two cars full of Cajuns come up on either side of us. Dennis pulled out the biggest handgun I'd ever seen from under the seat and just held it up in front of his face, and those cars hit the brakes, and we were gone."
World tag-team champs
As quickly as they achieved success in the Mid-South territory, it was even quicker when promoter Jim Crockett scooped The Rock 'N' Roll Express up the following year and they arrived in the Mid-Atlantic area.
In an auspicious debut, to say the least, Morton and Gibson won the highly coveted NWA world tag-team title their first night in by defeating Ivan Koloff and Krusher Khruschev in June 1985 at a TV taping in Shelby, N.C.
"We were still working in Louisiana when they brought us in," says Morton. "We gave our notice there and came in and did their TV on a Tuesday night in Shelby. We won the world belts and the next morning went back to Louisiana. We wrestled there for two weeks and then came back to North Carolina."
Outsized by most of their opponents, the heartthrob duo made up for any lack of bulk by featuring non-stop, precision-like teamwork in the ring. And with youthful good looks and featured in snappy music videos produced by Watts' son, Joel, Morton and Gibson were babyfaces of the first order.
"Nicky (Nikita Koloff), Krusher (Khruschev) and Ivan (Koloff) had beaten everybody. They had beaten Dusty and Magnum T.A., Dusty and Manny Fernandez, they beat everybody," says Morton. "We came in as All-American kids, and the match went nearly 58 minutes of the TV time. We beat them at the end. And it just exploded."
Just like in Mid-South, it was the same result in the Carolinas. The towns continued to sell out.
Over the course of a career, The Rock 'N' Roll Express would hold dozens of regional and world tag-team titles.
It was that first world tag-team title victory, however, that Morton cherishes the most.
"That was a big deal. Winning that first world tag-team title was the greatest of all."

I enjoyed this course very much. I think it should be a prerequisite for all parents with children about to enter adolesence. Thank you!
I got some great information and plan to use all of it as I work with students, teachers, and parents this fall as a middle school counselor. This was my first on-line course and I would definitely take another one because it was a very good experience.
I have a young teenager at home. This course has been a tremendous help to me in learning to deal with her actions and reactions.
This course had lots of excellent information for parents and professionals who want a better understanding of pre-teens and teenagers. A lot of food for thought and very challenging!
This course helped to freshen up my knowledge on the subject of adolescent psychology. I found much of the information to be quite useful in dealing with my students at the junior high level as well as my 14-year-old daughter. Thanks.
This course was an excellent choice. The information was so interesting and useful, both professionally and personally. Thank you!
This was definitely one of the very most interesting and useful courses I have taken. It offers a tremendous amount of insight, especially for parents and others who teach/work with adolescents. In addition to providing information pertaining to all the important facets of adolescence, the instructor also ties this in with the impact of earlier life experiences, quality of parenting, family environment, etc. As a private educational tutor, I plan to utilize the understandings and knowledge I have gained to better meet the needs of my adolescent students.
This was my first online course...The convenience and flexibility of time was paramount in order for me to complete this course. I was able to juggle everything in a time sensitive manner...This course enabled me to achieve my objective.

BELLEVILLE - Jenny Hagemeyer, of Belleville, decided she never wanted to have another dog after the death of her Lhasa Apso more than 10 years ago. That is, until she met Danny.
Hagemeyer, an inspirational speaker and founder of Promise Land Ministries, recently published a book, "Lessons from Danny," detailing the life - and brush with death - of the small blonde Shih Tzu who found his way into her heart.
It was sometime in 2007 when Hagemeyer's husband, Fred, had the desire to get another dog.

Sentinel photo by BUFFIE BOYER
Jenny Hagemeyer sits with her dog, Danny, on Monday at their home in Belleville.
"Lessons from Danny,"?is shown. The book tells the story of Danny, a Shih Tzu mix dog that became ill and was healed. The story is told from his perspective and was published by Jenny Hagemeyer, inspirational speaker and founder of Promise Land Ministries.
Sentinel photo by
"I tried to ignore him ... I thought maybe it'll go away," Jenny said, laughing.
Fred persisted, despite Jenny's hesitation to become attached to another animal that would just break her heart again.
"One night I was talking to the Lord about it," she recalled. "He said, 'You didn't ask me.'"
It was that evening Hagemeyer felt the Lord encouraging her to let Fred seek his new companion, she said.
That's when the couple met Danny - a dog Fred calls his "two-time loser." Somehow, Danny made his way to the SPCA twice before the Hagemeyers brought him home.
"I call him our little angel from heaven," Jenny said. "He doesn't show his teeth, he doesn't growl at you."
Danny greets everyone with a toy and a kiss, she said.
In 2012, the charming canine became ill. Jenny said the veterinarian found a mass on his stomach the size of a softball and said Danny wouldn't live longer than a week.
Her new book, "Lessons from Danny," tells the story of Danny's healing from his point of view.
"After all, God spoke through a donkey's mouth in the Bible," Jenny said.
Though the story is told from a dog's point of view, Jenny said people can relate to the trials in his life. A reoccurring theme in his story, she said, is his love for "his daddy," Fred.
"(Danny) just loves his daddy ... he loves me, but believe me, he loves his daddy," Jenny said. "He is so connected to his daddy's heart."
She explained that God has the same desire for His people.
"Our daddy, God, yearns to have an intimate personal relationship with us every day that shakes off the fear, worry, anxiety, bitterness, resentment and unforgiveness," she said.
Danny's story is one that will touch the hearts of everyone, even those who aren't fond of dogs or haven't accepted Jesus Christ into their lives, Jenny explained.
"There's a lot of humor in this, and it's a testimony. I believe testimonies are powerful," she said.
Readers may realize that "if God can do something with them, he can do something with me," she explained.
Jenny Hagemeyer will hold a book signing from 1-3 p.m. March 29 at Friendship Book Store in Burnham. Her book, "Lessons from Danny," is available at the store and online at Amazon, iUniverse and Barnes and Noble in paperback and e-reader options.
Hagemeyer said she plans to incorporate the book into Bible studies held at her home in Belleville. She said classes tentatively will begin in September.

Stetson freshman first baseman Patrick Mazeika experienced all of the emotions of college baseball in one inning Saturday night as the Hatters let a victory slip through their fingers in the second game of a day-night double-header against Fairfield.
Stetson took the opening game of the day 5-1 before dropping the nightcap 8-7. The loss in the second game snapped Stetson's five-game win streak and dropped the Hatters to 10-8 on the year. Fairfield improved to 4-9 on the season.
It was Mazeika who put the Hatters in position to sweep the twin-bill with an outstanding at bat in the Hatters' seventh inning. The left-handed hitter battled against Fairfield's tough lefty pitcher Tim Duggan, fouling off several pitches before lifting a two-out RBI single to right to put Stetson in front 5-4.
The Hatters added on two more runs in the inning and took a three-run lead into the bottom of the frame. That is when Mazeika experienced the other extreme.
"We just played poor enough to lose tonight," Hatters coach Pete Dunn said. "It is the same as we have been doing all year. We scored four runs to take the lead and we let them come right back and tie it. You have to go out there and shut someone down after you have a big inning. We went right back out there and let them have three."
After Stetson reliever Josh Thorne allowed three straight one-out hits, the third a pinch hit double by Keith Skinner to plate a run, the freshman appeared on the verge of getting out of the inning without further damage. He recorded a strikeout of Sal Ciccone and then got a routine ground ball to Mazeika at first.
A converted catcher who is playing first base for the first time in his career, Mazeika was unable to make a good throw to Thorne covering the bag. His errant toss allowed the Stags to score two runs to tie the game.
"You have to make the routine plays," Dunn said. "Thorne made a great pitch and got a weak ground ball to first. All we have to do is make the flip to the pitcher, but we don't handle the ball and let the tying run score."
Fairfield went on to take the victory with a single run in the ninth inning. Billy Zolga led off with a double off Stetson's Tyler Warmoth (0-2) and then scored on a single to left by Ciccone.
"We didn't throw enough strikes early in the game and gave us some runs because of it. We walked a bunch of guys and let them score. The bottom line is you have to make the routine plays. We did some good things tonight but, to win consistently, everyone has to do good things and you have to minimize mistakes."
The win for Fairfield snapped a seven game losing streak for the Stags.
"You have to give Fairfield credit because they kept coming back," Dunn said. "We made some mistakes late in the game, but the bottom line is that we probably win the game if we make that play at first base."
Senior Kyle Capaldo (1-2) blanked Stetson over the final three innings, holding the Hatters hitless and allowing just two base runners, one on a walk and the second on an error, to get the victory for Fairfield.
Game 1: Stetson 5, Fairfield 1
The Hatters produced all of the offense they needed in a four-run fifth inning and senior Joe Dye kept the visiting Stags at bay to help Stetson to their fifth consecutive victory.
Fairfield's only run came in the second inning off Stetson starter Adam Schaly thanks to the first of two Hatters errors. That 1-0 lead stood up for Fairfield until the Hatters finally got things going.
Stetson took advantage of a Fairfield error in the sixth, and got RBI singles from James Rasmussen and Konner Lutz sandwiched around a two-run double by Carlos Garmendia. Lutz doubled in the final run of the night for the Hatters in the eighth inning.
Dye (2-0) came on in relief of Schaly in the sixth inning with two on base, but retired the side and then allowed just two base-runners, on a walk and an infield single, the rest of the way.
"Joe did a great job for us again, and that was a good win," Dunn said.
EJ Ashworth (1-1) took the loss for Fairfield, allowing four runs on seven hits over 5.2 innings of work.
The Hatters and Stags will close out their four-game weekend series on Sunday afternoon with the first pitch scheduled for 1 p.m. at Melching Field.

Local indie rockers Colors in the Air had no grand celebrations planned for their eighth anniversary in August. But tonight, they'll get a pretty good early birthday present: two featured songs and an appearance on the USA Network's hit comedy, "Royal Pains."
"It's clearly a highlight in our career," drummer Pat Williams said about the Lockport band's national television debut. "It's a great way to bring in our eighth anniversary."
"Royal Pains," which started its fifth season in June, stars Mark Feuerstein as Hank Lawson, an E.R. doctor who relocates to the Hamptons after losing his New York City job and soon finds himself as a begrudging "concierge doctor" for the rich and powerful members of a resort community. He eventually tries extending his help to less well-off locals with greater need, or greater respect, for it.
Tonight's episode, "Pregnant Paws," features a subplot with Dr. Jeremiah Sacani (Ben Shenkman), who works with Hank, lending his services to a shock-jock at a local radio station. That's where Colors in the Air come in.
Williams, who moved to New York last year while his bandmates (frontman Brian Miller, guitarist Justin Walker and bassist Mike McGranor) hung back here, joined "Royal Pains" this season as a production assistant after a stint for the final season of "30 Rock." He knew this episode needed a band for a scene at the radio station's beach party, and suggested his own. That was all it took: Colors in the Air flew to the Hamptons in May to shoot its brief appearance, and its song "Going Home" became the soundtrack of the scene.
Several days ago, the producers realized they needed another song for the closing credits, and Colors in the Air snuck a second tune, "Fly High (New Light Remix)," into the episode.
Does this mean national success for Colors in the Air? Williams, who studied media production at Fredonia State College, said that for now, he just wants Buffalonians to at least DVR the episode.
"I hope it comes out as something positive," he said. "It could be minuscule, it could be big. As long as something happens, I'll be happy."
The band's Buffalo-based members will host a viewing party at Gothic Hill Golf Course (5477 Niagara St. Ext., Lockport), starting at 8 p.m. The episode airs at 9.
Colors in the Air plays its next Buffalo show on Sept. 14 in the Waiting Room, and when they return, you can say you knew them before they were famous.

DELAND, Fla. – The Stetson University lacrosse team returns home from their short one game road trip to host No. 4 Florida, Wednesday, Mar. 26 at 7p.m. The Hatters and Gators will hook up at the Athletic Training Center in DeLand for the first time as both squads met last season in Gainesville, with UF then ranked No. 2 in the nation.
Stetson comes into Wednesday's contest at 0-11, but having averaged a little more than eight goals during their last three home contests. It's a stretch which saw the Hatters score in double-digits twice, in losses to Sacred Heart and Wagner.
Stetson saw solid performances in goal from keeper Caili Guilday last week, who was named A-Sun Defensive Player of the Week for her work against Marist and Wagner. Guilday made 25 total saves during the two games to bring her total to 119 for the season.
The contest with the Gators will only be the second meeting this season for Stetson with a nationally ranked opponent as head coach Nicole Moore's squad led off the 2014 campaign with a neutral site game against No. 3 Syracuse in Buena Vista.
Wednesday's matchup is free for fans to attend and those that can't make it out to the ATC can watch on HatterVision or follow via Live Stats on gohatters.com. The @StetsonLacrosse Twitter feed and Hat-Alerts are also available for in-game updates as well.

PORTLAND – A Brocton was arrested by troopers from Fredonia on charges of aggravated unlicensed driving and marijuana possession after a traffic stop on state Route 20 about 10:40 p.m. Sunday.
Jennifer Thornton, 29, of Lake Avenue, was stopped for having an insecure front license plate, troopers said. They said they smelled pot smoke and found about 4½ grams of marijuana and a smoking pipe containing marijuana residue in the car.
A check also showed Thornton's license and registration were recently suspended because she did not have insurance on the vehicle. She was ordered to appear in Portland Town Court Feb. 5.

There was no dramatic comeback on the final day of racing. There was no gale force winds like Charleston Race Week endured.
This was just a typical College of Charleston sailing beatdown of the competition. The Cougars led all three days of the Intercollegiate Sailing Assocation (ICSA)/Gill Coed Dinghy National Championship in St. Petersburg, Fla. this past week and beat runner-up Georgetown by 20 points.
College of Charleston sailing director Greg Fisher credited depth as the team's advantage. "We have a lot of super sailors, especially our seniors," he said. "They have been just tremendous."
Of the final day's 18 total races, the College of Charleston finished in the upper portion every time. It was the program's fourth all-time ICSA title. Last year, the Cougars won the ICSA/APS Team Race National Championship.
The coed dinghy win means another Henry A. Morss Memorial Trophy for the Cougars, which they had also previously won in 1986, 2006 and 2007. Among the sailors were two-time Olympian Juan Maegli, Wando alumnae Seppie McAdams and All-Americans Ben Spector and Mac Mace.
"There's a lot of great sailors in college sailing these days. We felt good about our chances going in," Fisher said. "We were hopeful; We felt like we had a good shot."
Maegli also qualified for All-American status and was named the 2013 College Sailor of the Year. Although Fisher repeatedly praised Maegli's abilities, calling him a "real student of the sport," he emphasized the balance on the team.
McAdams frequents Maegli as his crew. "She definitely contributed to Juan's success," he said. "Juan is a skipper; he's a driver. Seppie is a crew, which means she, in a lot of ways, becomes Juan's eyes on the course.
"She has great potential," Fisher added about McAdams. "She's an excellent team player and an asset to the team. She has a very bright future."
McAdams, only a freshman, will be one of two returning players with championship experience from the regatta. Sophomore Ali Blumenthal also served as crew.
In the coed nationals, the sailing arena featured decent winds, which Fisher said also benefitted the Cougars. In the Charleston Harbor, windy conditions are the norm. "We saw conditions that we sailed in a lot. It worked out well," Fisher said.
"We almost look for lighter (less windy) days to get and sail," he added, referring to practice times.
The championship will be broadcasted on ESPNU, July 12 at 6 p.m. A few days before the ICSA/Gill title win, College of Charleston placed fifth in the ICSA/APS regatta. And days prior to that event, the Cougars women's sailing team grabbed seventh in the ICSA Sperry Top-Sider Women's National Championship.
Prior to the season finales, College of Charleston prepared with repetition in the Charleston Harbor.
"We spent a week before the nationals practicing every day for about three or five hours a day," Fisher said, adding typical home practice sites include areas near Crab Bank, James Island Yacht Club and the USS Yorktown.
"One of the things that makes our team so strong is on any particular day that we're racing we have six or seven teams (within the college) that can win a race," he said.

Know How to Stay Safe When Using Farm Irrigation Equipment
Thousands of gallons of water are pumped through irrigation pipes daily. Eventually, all this water starts to clog the pipe with sediment. Raising the pipe in the air may seem like an obvious way to clean out an irrigation pipe. However, a long irrigation pipe could easily become tangled in power lines, and you could get an electric shock as you become the electricity's path to the ground. Irrigation systems are important to farms. However, they carry many risks that farmers should be aware of and know how to manage. Safe Electricity has the following information for farmers to keep in mind.
Remember, water and electricity are a dangerous mix. Do not allow irrigation water nozzles to spray on power lines. A water stream hitting a power line could energize the entire system, creating a shock hazard to anyone nearby or in contact with the equipment.
Take some time to survey your surroundings before moving equipment. Look up and around you; note any power lines that could be close enough to come into contact with equipment —and stay away. Always know the location of nearby electrical lines when working with irrigation equipment. Any contact between the irrigation equipment and nearby electrical lines could be fatal or cause serious injury.
If an irrigation pipe comes in contact with a power line, never try to remove it yourself. Stay away from it and call your local electric utility for help.
