Many people love the holidays. From making cookies and trimming the tree to finding that perfect gift and spending time with friends and family, the holidays can be a wonderful time to share with loved ones. And, truly, that togetherness is what makes the holidays – whether Christmas, Hanukkah, New Year's Eve or another celebration – special.
You see articles in the paper and hear stories on the news about families that don't have the funds for presents and for a big, celebratory meal together. These stories are sad and it's wonderful that the community reacts with donations and support.
However, what you don't hear about are the people who are isolated and alone. Not only do they not have presents and a twinkling tree, they have nobody with whom to share the joy of the season. Many of these individuals are alone because they are homebound. They may have an illness or disability that prevents them from being able to drive or in many cases to even leave the house for tasks as simple as getting the mail.
Meals on Wheels for Western New York serves many of these homebound Western New Yorkers. We provide meals to more than 3,300 in-need clients each year, helping the frail and ill elderly or disabled enjoy the highest level of independence possible.
Almost as important as the meal is the companionship that comes from a few minutes of conversation with our caring volunteers. Each day, volunteers share their time with the homebound – seeing how the individuals are feeling, and just talking with them – about the weather, what they're watching on TV, what they're reading … anything that helps them feel connected to the wider world.
At the holidays, we also deliver a special holiday meal complete with pie. And many of our clients receive holiday cards and other tray favors made by area school children. These little things – conversation, pie, a holiday card – can make a tremendous impact on the homebound who receive them. But, during a season known for goodwill to men, the generosity of strangers and the fellowship of a community, I sometimes wonder if it's enough.
As you celebrate your holidays, I encourage you to think about those in your community who may be alone – whether they are homebound or not – and to stop over for a cup of tea, a rousing carol or a delicious cookie. It is because of the people we interact with each day that the holidays are special.
My heart breaks for those who may not have friends or family to celebrate with, but I know that we can each play a role in making sure that every member of our community has new, warm memories of the holiday to smile on when the new year comes.
Rachel Leidenfrost is director of strategic communications of Meals on Wheels for Western New York.

The West Virginia State Wildlife Center in French Creek announced the loss of its golden eagle to Superstorm Sandy, and officials estimated storm damages to possibly exceed $60,000.
Gene Thorn, a wildlife biologist in charge of the WVSWC, said the 4- or 5-year-old golden eagle called the wildlife center home for about a year. The storm damaged the habitats of other animals at the center.
"We got every mammal contained," Thorn said. "It's an inconvenience because a lot of them had to go into holding pens until we get the pens restored, but we dealt with that."

The racoon exhibit, which suffered some damage from Superstorm Sandy, awaits repairs this winter before it can once again be home to racoons at the West Virginia State Wildlife Center in French Creek.
A $60,000 estimate was calculated for the fencing required to repair the large animal enclosures. Thorn said other damages also were incurred with netting and smaller items.
"It's going to be a pretty substantial amount when we total up all the damages," Thorn said.
The clean-up process began immediately. Thorn said officials didn't wait for the storm to end before the cleaning began. Although the wildlife center had a quick beginning as far as cleaning up after the storm, the necessary repairs have not yet began for the fencing.
Thorn said it would take four to six weeks to acquire the fencing because of state purchasing procedures. After a repair company can proceed, the project could span several months.
"We did get emergency status on that, so it's a little easier. But we still have to go through a procedure," Thorn said. "Our guys did what they could with taking the netting off and getting it ready and everything."
Thorn said the goal is to be finished with the repairs in time for the wildlife center's official opening on April 1.
"Our goal is to have everything back up and running by that time," Thorn said, "In the meantime, the wildlife center is open for walking other than when we get the fence companies in here. We'll have to close the loop for the time that they're doing their work."
Winter hours are from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Once the fence companies begin working, those hours become tentative.
"Superstorm Sandy really slammed us, and we're not closed, but not open to business like we would normally be during the rebuild of the enclosures," Thorn said. "It's a temporary thing. Once we get past this, everything will be back to normal."

What would you take if your house caught on fire?
Parade magazine asked readers that question a few weeks ago, in a promotion for photographer Foster Huntingtons new book The Burning House. Online were a sampling of answers and photos of the things some people would save. An architecture student in LA chose a vintage suitcase, his dog, and a marionette. For an African bushman, it was a hoe, water bottle, shoes and wooden bracelet. A guy in eastern Europe listed his favorite albums and a special t-shirt.
What would you save? If you said, Myself, dont feel bad. Self-preservation is the strongest instinct we have, and fire is a primal thing. I like to believe I wouldnt leave without Widdle and our beloved Nicky, but I might jump out a window first and think second. Hard to say.
Lets say your loved ones are safe and you have five minutes. What is so precious you couldnt bear to lose it?
The way my mind works, Id probably grab a corkscrew, my flat-iron (you know, the kind you buy at Target for $15), a reading light from the bedside table, 10 pounds of turkey meatballs, fake pearls that have been in the family for 65 years and a flash drive that contains 101 Delicious Recipes for Tofu. Like I said, thats how my mind works.
We have more than 1,200 hardback books shelved throughout our home. No way I could save them all, or even a few dozen. Maybe Id try to grab The Book of Joe, by the actor Vincent Price. Its a memoir about the adventures of Prices dog, Joe, in Beverly Hills. I read it as a child; it was sparkling and hilarious, and transported me to a world beyond our humble home on a dirt road. I finally found a copy in decent shape two years ago, after searching for 20 years, and I still wont tell Widdle how much I paid for it.
I might snag my tattered first edition of Black Beauty or E.E. Milnes When We Were Very Young. I couldnt grab the family Bible, because T-Bob keeps that at his home in Florida. Maybe Id snatch a couple of oil paintings off the wall, and the white porcelain platter I bought from a man in Lake Tahoe, who swore it was from Paris.
Id probably grab an antique-framed, 80-year-old photograph of my mother, in which she is standing solemnly by a garden gate. (People say I have her cautious eyes.) And how could I run without the black and white portraits of my father that Ive painstakingly restored, framed and showcased in every room?
Widdle, the practical one, would have enough sense to load up the laptops and the checkbooks. Id still be running in circles toting old scrapbooks and the vintage bunny-on-a-log needlepoint I inherited from mad Aunt Martha.
What I should save is the fireproof metal strongbox containing our wills, deeds, titles and mortgage information, if only we had a fireproof metal strongbox containing our wills, deeds and mortgage information. We keep such things in a leaning file cabinet thats also stuffed with greeting cards, old birthday balloons, tax returns, receipts, faded car titles and canceled checks. So, no, we are not prepared.
In the end, Id probably grab things that speak of love and memories. Everything else can burn. Except my flat iron.

Quadruple Helices Appear To Have Role...
Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
Developers of DTC Genetic Testing Are...
Expanding Use of NGS Has Largely...
Unsurprisingly, gene variants don't tell the whole story. For example, the obesity-related genes we have identified to date are estimated to predict only 5% of obesity risk. This is where the role of environment, behavior, epigenetics, and other factors will likely come into play from individual to individual.
In fact, we already have clear signs that obesity is a heterogeneous disease. Lorcaserin, a 5HT2c agonist, produces a more than 3% weight loss when considering all randomized patients, but one-third respond well, losing more than 10% of body weight with accompanying substantial and clinically meaningful improvements in diabetes and CV risk.
Why do some respond and others don't? We at the Translational Research Institute for Metabolism and Diabetes (TRI) believe that the tipping point in obesity pharmacotherapy will lie in the answer to that question and should be the focus of both academic and industry research.
Another route to accelerate obesity R&D will involve leveraging the known links between obesity and type 2 diabetes. While obesity and type 2 diabetes are distinct diseases, we are beginning to learn more about shared common pathways and underlying defects.
Obviously, we have had far more success in treating diabetes from a pharmacological perspective and in securing FDA approval for novel diabetes therapies. Some of today's most effective diabetes therapies, such as GLP-1 agonists, also carry weight loss benefits. This presents an opportunity from a development and regulatory perspective to identify type 2 diabetes therapies with weight-loss potential and expand to an indication in obesity.
For extreme obesity, surgery is currently the preferred and only effective treatment modality. Exciting new data suggests that in addition to substantial weight loss, bariatric surgery is highly effective in controlling, and in some patients, completely eliminating, type 2 diabetes symptoms. It appears that bariatric surgery triggers massive changes in metabolic—specifically gut—hormones, which leads to a decrease in appetite and improved diabetes.
Preclinical and some early clinical efforts to replicate these hormonal changes without surgery are quite promising. While surgery is certainly an important option right now for people with extreme obesity, we need to focus in the long term on producing the same hormonal changes without surgery, eliciting the same substantial weight loss, and improving or resolving type 2 diabetes.
In fact, gut hormones present a plethora of opportunities for obesity drug development. And because they represent peripheral targets, they likely will have significantly fewer side effects than drugs targeting CNS pathways.
Another exciting area of research we are focused on at TRI employs a novel strategy to increase energy expenditure at the cellular level. Our partners at Sanford Burnham Medical Research Institute found that orexin, an appetite-producing hormone that is produced in the brain, activates brown adipose tissue, or brown fat.
Brown fat is a kind of "good fat" that burns high quantities of sugar and fat in a process that is designed by nature to moderate body temperature in babies, who have a large number of brown fat cells. By activating brown fat in adults, calories that otherwise would be stored as unwanted white fat can be burned.
Low levels of orexin are associated with obesity, while high levels are associated with leanness. At TRI, we have now advanced orexin research into the clinical phase, and are undertaking proof of concept experiments to validate this new drug target and evaluate its safety and efficacy.
The augmented focus on obesity has sparked heightened clinical research to better understand the complex pathophysiology of this disease. Exploring and beginning to define the heterogeneity of obesity will put us on a path toward more targeted, effective, and safe treatment strategies and, hopefully someday, prevention.
While we have made some progress, we have a long way to go. But dispelling the myth that the obesity problem can be resolved if people would simply just eat less and exercise more is a critical first step.
The prevalence of childhood obesity in the U.S. has increased over the past several decades, putting the nation's youth at risk of developing serious disorders such as type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Though obesity is such a complex disease, likely involving genetic and environmental factors, behavioral factors do play a significant role.
Scientists from the University of California, San Diego wanted to examine children's physical activity and dietary behaviors as they related to BMI and body fat. They studied 271 six- to nine-year-olds for 24 months, and published their results in a recent issue of Childhood Obesity, a Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., journal.
At baseline, obese children were less active than normal-weight children. Over the two-year observational period, the researchers noted that increased physical activity and number of breakfasts with the family were associated with lower BMI and body fat. Additionally, decreased sedentary behavior and sugary drink consumption were also associated with lower body fat.
Many factors are involved in the causes of obesity, and there is a dire need for new therapeutics and increased R&D. However, as this study demonstrates, the starting point to prevent and tackle this disease is still the classic approach: lead an active lifestyle and maintain a healthy diet.

Enroll Now!
A new session of each course opens each month, allowing you to enroll whenever your busy schedule permits!
How does it work? Once a session starts, two lessons will be released each week, for the six-week duration of your course. You will have access to all previously released lessons until the course ends.
Keep in mind that the interactive discussion area for each lesson automatically closes 2 weeks after each lesson is released, so you're encouraged to complete each lesson within two weeks of its release.
The Final Exam will be released on the same day as the last lesson. Once the Final Exam has been released, you will have 2 weeks plus 10 days to complete the Final and finish any remaining lessons in your course. No further extensions can be provided beyond these 10 days.
The payroll process is much more than just printing paychecks. In fact, before you even attempt to process payroll in QuickBooks, you need to have a good understanding of tax withholding requirements and reporting deadlines, among other things. In this first lesson, you'll learn where to find the information you need to comply with both federal and state payroll requirements, how to apply for an Employer Identification Number (EIN), and how to use government websites to get answers to any payroll questions. You'll even find out how to properly classify workers as employees or independent contractors.
One of the key advantages of processing payroll in QuickBooks is that the program automatically calculates and fills in federal and state tax withholdings on each paycheck. Subscribing to one of Intuit's payroll services ensures that you always have the most up-to-date tables and forms. In this lesson, we'll identify the differences between Intuit's payroll services so that you can choose the best payroll service for your situation. Also, we'll talk about the support resources available from both Intuit's website and other professionals who use the product.
In this lesson, we'll go through a checklist of the information you'll need to gather and enter into your QuickBooks file before creating paychecks for your employees. You'll also learn how to utilize the Payroll Preferences feature in QuickBooks to customize the program to your business situation. Finally, we'll go over why Payroll Items are so important to QuickBooks and how you can use these items to track every paycheck addition or deduction.
Making a simple mistake, like entering an incorrect allowance for an employee's federal tax withholding, will result in an incorrect paycheck. In this lesson, you'll learn how to avoid these kinds of mistakes by carefully entering your employees' information from the paperwork you gathered in the previous three lessons. We'll walk through how to enter personal information, such as addresses, phone numbers, and Social Security numbers. Finally, you'll find out how to create defined fields and enter tax withholding amounts and employee sick and vacation time.
If you decide to start producing paychecks in QuickBooks midyear, you'll need to enter some year-to-date information to let QuickBooks know what payroll transactions have transpired since the beginning of the year. Today, you'll learn about entering year-to-date payroll information and using the QuickBooks year-to-date wizard to summarize each employee's information. In addition, you'll find out how to summarize and enter the tax liabilities you already paid earlier in the year and how to generate certain payroll reports to check your data entry.
If you have employees who are assigned to work on specific projects and you need to track how much time they spend on those projects, then QuickBooks has some options for you. In this lesson, you'll discover how to enter and track employee time in QuickBooks. You'll see how to enter employee time using either the Stopwatch, Timer program, or the Weekly/Single Activity Timesheets. Depending on your situation, one of these methods will be most effective for entering and reporting employee time data. You'll also learn how to assign employee time to the jobs you've created in QuickBooks so that you can produce valuable job costing reports.
Now that you've completed the payroll setup process, today you'll learn how to create a new paycheck for an employee using a Payroll Schedule. We'll also discuss how to create paychecks using information entered on a time activity form, and how to review, correct, and, if necessary, void or delete a paycheck. And if you have to provide paper copies of a paycheck or pay stub, you'll find out how to review them for accuracy and then print them.
Every company that has employees is responsible for certain payroll liabilities. Luckily, QuickBooks has a Scheduled Payments feature that allows you to create reminders of when to pay these liabilities, and that's what we'll explore today. You'll learn how to e-file liability checks and create printed liability checks that include assessed penalties. Since you don't always pay Payroll liabilities to governmental agencies, you'll also find out how to use the payroll feature to track and pay other payroll items, such as health insurance premiums and 401(k) contributions. By the end of this lesson, you'll understand how to adjust the balances due for each payroll tax item and record a refund of payroll taxes.
No payroll process is complete until you've created paychecks and paid tax liabilities. Along with paying your liabilities, you must prepare and file important quarterly and annual reports with the government. To get a handle on this crucial responsibility, today you'll learn QuickBooks' easy-to-follow steps for generating and revising Federal Forms 941 and 940. And to make sure your information is accurate, we'll cover how to review your entries and compare them to the payroll data in your QuickBooks company file.
In this lesson, we'll explore one of the more powerful features of the payroll process in QuickBooks: the reporting feature. After completing this lesson, you'll know how to access and generate several of the preformatted payroll reports in QuickBooks. To help you avoid costly errors, you'll learn how to use these reports to review payroll data, identify errors, and even forecast future payroll obligations.
Benjamin Franklin once said, "In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes." That saying still holds true! So to help you with the inevitable task of paying taxes, QuickBooks gives you the ability to generate Forms W-2 and W-3. The government requires employers to submit these summary reports to each employee and to the Social Security Administration. You'll also need to submit Forms 1099 to your independent contractors. In this lesson, not only will you see how to create these forms, but also you'll discover the best methods for reviewing them and making any necessary adjustments. Finally, we'll cover how to properly align the forms so that the payroll information shows up in the right places when you print them.
We'll spend our last lesson helping you avoid and correct the most common mistakes QuickBooks users make when processing payroll. For instance, you'll learn what to do if too many payroll accounts were created in the Chart of Accounts. You'll also find out what steps to take if you didn't use the Scheduled Payments or Pay Liabilities windows correctly. We'll even cover the proper way to enter and track employee loans. At the end of the day, you'll be ready to process payroll in QuickBooks and solve many of the problems that can pop up along the way.

TRUCKEE, Calif. - The Super Bowl indicator is a well-known market indicator that has a success rate for just over 80 percent. A historical accuracy rate of 80 percent means that the Super Bowl indicator is one of the better markets forecasting tools that there is.Or is it?Here's how the Super Bowl indicator works. If a team from the old AFL, the AFC division, wins the Super Bowl, that is a bad omen for the stock market. If a team from the old NFL, the NFC division, wins the Super Bowl, then the stock market should have a pretty good year. So, if you want to good stock market returns for 2013, you should be rooting for a 49ers win. If the 49ers win, the market should do well, and if the Ravens win, the market should decline for the year.Last year, the Giants won and 2012 was a good year for stocks returns with the total return for the S&P 500 up 16 percent, which is substantially above the average since 1998 of not quite 11 percent.Of course the Giants also won in 2008 and we all know what happened that year. The S&P 500 fell more than 38 percent in 2008, even with a win from an NFC team. Like I said, the indicator has an 80 percent success rate, not 100 percent, so you should expect some years that it doesn't work.Let's take a look at why this indicator is so accurate. Hmmm ... I really can't find a good reason that the Super Bowl indicator works so well. The reason is that the Super Bowl indicator is a great example of what's known as "spurious correlation."A phrase scientists use is that, "correlation does not imply causation." What that means is that just because 80 percent of the time an NFC team has won the Super Bowl and the market has gone up for the year, doesn't mean that an NFC team winning has any real effect on the stock market - it's just a coincidence.Also keep in mind that most years the market increases in value. If we look back to 1988 - 24 years of market returns - there have been four years with a negative return. That means the market has increased 83 percent of the time over the last 24 years.My advice is to root for the 49ers anyway; Colin Kaepernick is practically a local, having played at Nevada, and even if the indicator is purely coincidence, a 49ers win can't hurt the market in any way.Kenneth Roberts is a Truckee based Registered Investment Advisor.

I know I already posted pics of Ivy in this swimsuit in the lake earlier today (my first animated gif! I learned how here!) but hello, fierce.
Shopping in historic downtown Big Rapids this past weekend I bought Ivy a Barbie doll for fifty cents at a cute resale shop. She of course didn't have any clothes, so I promised we'd get her an outfit. Later that day I took her to Kmart to the toy section, and on the way we passed the accessories department and she dawdled by the bracelets, fingering the necklaces and picking at every shiny thing. I must have said her name a hundred times but she was fascinated and I had a whole inner conversation with myself, about how I definitely do not push girly stuff on her but she is so girly. (Probably the roughest toughest girly girl I know) but still despite being brought up with older brothers and having a Mom that shies away from pink, she loves pink.
And she's my girlfriend. And today as we took a drive to run errands, just us, I recalled wondering why, when I was a little girl, my mom wasn't still best friends with the same girls she was friends with when she was a kid. Even now, the people she hung out with when she was my age she doesn't hang out with today. And I look at me and my friends and can't imagine not being as close as we are, but, time and life. And I realize, family.
My kids are becoming my entourage more and more.
It's enough of a production for all of us to take over the park or the cupcake place let alone invite others along or organize a playdate. Even just composing an email about it is exhausting. And sometimes I like it just us. Sometimes I like my kids better when it's just us. And sometimes we need the backup, or a break, or a change of people-scenery and that's for friends. But I don't know if it's just me but I am feeling that invisible pull in the universe that things are righting themselves and shifting weight and sifting through the tiny holes of time and what's left will be beautiful, and important, matured, and bittersweet.

INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. - Sitting at a picnic table at Incline Beach, in the outstretched shade provided by a towering Ponderosa pine, Incline resident Tatyana Floam could no longer restrain tears as she rifled through a box of meticulously organized letters dating to the late 1980s.
Those letters contain references to the odd paradox of those bygone years - the happiness related to a newly burgeoning family, commingled with fears that very family could be endangered by an environmental disaster the likes of which the world had never seen.
Floam, who has lived in Incline Village since 2002 and works at Sundance Salon and Nails, was born in 1964 in Kiev, currently the capital city of Ukraine. However, at that time, the city was encompassed by the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. Growing up on the eastern side of the Iron Curtain presented its share of challenges, but nothing prepared Floam for events that unfolded on the morning of Saturday, April 26, 1986.
The day began routinely enough, with Floam on maternity leave caring for her infant son, Daniel, but what transpired approximately 134 kilometers to the northwest from Floam's modest apartment would drastically alter the course of her life.
In an era of Twitter updates, instant coverage shot through fiber optic wires and satellite feeds incorporated into a 24-hour news cycle, it may be difficult to imagine Kiev residents not being instantly alerted to the dangerous plume spreading above the city's skyline.
However, the Soviet Union did not have a free press in 1986, and regional news outlets were constrained as to what they could report.
Floam talked about what it was like to grow up in a culture of secrecy.
"You just didn't speak the truth," she said. "Most people grew up afraid to speak out."
Still, Floam was lucky to be privy to information regarding the disaster.
On the day of the explosion, Floam was spending time with some female friends in the apartment complex, who also had small children. One had a husband, a bus driver whose route ran between Kiev and Prypiat, a small city in proximity to Chernobyl, and he disclosed the information.
Floam then gathered her young son and she and her then-husband left Kiev for the summer, heading to the eastern part of the Black Sea, where Floam's in-laws rented a cabin.
Floam returned to Kiev in September with a new determination to leave the Soviet Union as soon as possible.
"I wanted to leave because I was scared for my son," she said. "We knew that old people and babies were the most likely to be affected by the radiation, so I had to leave."
Leaving was easier said then done, as the Soviet Union did not allow open travel or emigration. It was not until the Berlin Wall fell on Nov. 9, 1989, that Soviet residents could contemplate foreign travel.
However, fortune once again smiled upon Floam and her family, as her then-husband had an aunt living in Baltimore, who was willing to sponsor the family's relocation to the United States.
In 1988, nearly a year before the start of the Soviet Union's collapse, Floam packed a few belongings, cradled her son in her arms and set off for a new country.
Floam harbors a patriotic zeal for the United States perhaps unequaled by natural citizens, who are susceptible to taking for granted constitutionally afforded liberties.
"America means freedom," she said exuberantly. "Here you can be who you want to be and say what you want without having to be afraid. It's not like I was ever making political speeches (in Ukraine), but you still had to be careful."
Despite a brimming affinity for her adopted country, Floam still maintains communication with friends and family in the old country.
"I don't have personal friends who are affected by Chernobyl, but they tell me stories of their friends who have gotten sick from cancer, or had children with (birth defects)," she said.
She said her niece paints a different picture of the country she knew as a child.
"My niece is very successful," she said. "She and her husband each have a car. That would be unthinkable when I was there."
After settling in Baltimore, Floam remarried and had four girls with her new husband. They then relocated to Incline Village, where Floam attests to finally finding happiness and a sense of place.
"I don't see myself leaving anytime soon," she said.
Floam's four daughters attend Incline's public schools, with two at Incline High School, one at Incline Middle School and another at Incline Elementary School.
She said her children are very interested in stories about Kiev and Chernobyl. So interested, in fact, that Floam and her five children will travel to Ukraine next week to reconnect with the country of their ancestors.
"I'm very excited about this trip," Floam said. "My youngest is almost 11, so everyone will remember this experience."
Floam is in the midst of planning events with family in friends in Kiev.
"One day we will have a barbecue with traditional Ukrainian food and the next day we will have traditional American food," she said. "We will all learn a lot and it will be fun."
Floam said she has no plans to visit Chernobyl, due to time constraints, but she knows the disaster that unfolded on that April day in 1986 is in large part responsible for where she is today - a blessing that emerged from destruction.

Just yesterday Noah came in from playing in the neighbor's yard, the sky nearing night, and I told him he couldn't go back out. But we were playing CSI! They don't have to go in yet, MOOOOMMMM. Okay, honestly? I was so excited that he had friends and was outside playing that I let him go for ten more minutes. Not even thinking to ask wait, hey, how do you play CSI anyway?
So, like many mothers, I'm kind of playing it by ear... this whole parenting thing and the letting of the go. Which has been fine so far for me- I go with my gut! Listen to my heart. Respect their feelings and dreams and omg they grow up and soon are farther out of reach. I'm now texting his cell phone to say "time to come home" because he's farther than my voice can carry from the front door.
I delight in Noah and his emerging independence. But I do not know what lies ahead for him as a growing person, and me as a growing parent.
The video below is, well, sobering.
Those statistics are real no matter if you think it applies to your child or not. As a mom who wants to be able to talk openly and honestly with my kids (sounds so easy right now when my oldest is ten), including the desire to respect their privacy and development of good choices on their own, I kinda like the idea of a remote alcohol monitoring product like Soberlink.
Jeff and I watched and discussed it together. His concerns were that Soberlink is quite invasive, and stressed the consideration of our child's feelings and trust as a top priority. He wonders how it would effect our relationship with the kids if we say we trust them but then tell them to prove it with such a device. We prefer to trust them until they give us a reason to not trust. Then, only after that trust is broken we would absolutely consider something like Soberlink, with good reason.
Of course it's important to note that the legal drinking age doesn't include teenagers at all. So, I don't intend to give the impression that I condone the idea of letting teenagers drink alcohol responsibly. But a good conversation starter? Yes. Even if just between you as parents, especially if your child is too young to really consider a device like this or you assume it will never be an issue with your kids.
Hmmm. Your thoughts?

When Mary Mowrey, a 2013 graduate of St. Wendelin High School, was younger, she said she would join the All-Ohio State Fair Band when she was older.
Now that she is older, she got the opportunity and took it.
"Yes, I am (glad I did)," she said.
Mowrey played the flute and piccolo in the band, and this summer marked her third and final time participating. She said the first year was a little eye-opening.
"Once the fair started, it was a lot of fun," she said.
Mowrey said she made many friends and was sad to say her time in the band was over.
Fact Box
Local students
Band: Mary Mowrey, St. Wendelin High School; Alaina Conlin, Hunter Kauffman, Misty Lovejoy and Jillian Smith, Fostoria High School; Alex Beleny, David Beleny and Brandon Lane, Hopewell-Loudon High School; Matthew Kelbley and Robert Root, Old Fort High School; Gates McGough, Lakota High School; Cassi Traunero, Columbian High School; and Allison Keller and Diana Nordyke, Carey High School.
Choir: Matt Gerber, Clyde; Ethan Lynch, Republic; and Ian Roberts, Fostoria.
"I am going to Ursuline College on a track scholarship and studying mathematics education for high school," she said.
Cassi Traunero, a senior at Columbian High School, also played the flute and piccolo in this year's state fair band.
"That was my second year (in it)," she said.
Traunero said she decided to apply last year because she loves going to different band activities. She said she was nervous at first.
"But then it was just an amazing experience," she said.
Traunero said she would recommend the experience to anyone, and she applied again this year because it was a great experience.
"I had such a good time and made lots of new friends," she said.
Traunero said learned how to be a better leader in a section. It was a good experience because different people from different parts of the state are able to come together and make something that sounds good, she said.
Traunero said she had some old friends from last year and met some new people this year.
"The experience was once-in-a-lifetime," she said.
Several natives served on the All-Ohio State Fair Youth Choir staff during the state fair.
Joe Mileski, who graduated from Calvert High School in 2008 and from Ohio Northern University in 2012 with a major in mathematics with a concentration in teacher education, served on the choir's staff for the fifth time.
He also participated in the choir as a student in 2008.
Mileski, who teaches high school math at Cardinal Stritch, said he had applied to be a counselor-in-training. He was informed there was not a spot, but there was a spot on the staff.
He said the community that is built at the fair keeps him going back. Strong bonds are formed with the intensity of what the choir has to get done in three weeks, he said.
This year, Mileski served on the equipment staff, so he moved risers and sound equipment, and set-up and tore down for each concert.
"There's five of us total," he said of the equipment staff.
Mileski said the position is intense, and the staff usually is at a venue about half an hour before the choir arrives.
"Obviously, as staff members, we're the ones that recruit the hardest," he said.
Mileki said he plans to return as a staff member next year. Central and southeast Ohio have a strong representation, but the northwest corner of the state is not well-represented in the choir and on the staff, he said.
Joshua Senn, a 2009 Seneca East High School graduate who is starting his fifth year at Ohio State University studying music education, has served on the choir's staff for three years. He also served as a counselor-in-training and was a three-year member of the choir.
This year, he was the volunteer administrative assistant.
He said he did anything officials asked him to and helped with the equipment and office staffs.
"I helped on music staff but not a whole lot," he said.
Senn said it always is fun being with the choir again, and every year is a little different because of the students who come in. He said a highlight was finally getting to meet people whose names he had been seeing on paper.
"I worked in the office with the director all summer," he said.
Senn said he enjoyed getting to meet the singers. They come from all over the state, have different backgrounds and way of singing and are taught in their own high school but end up being one cohesive unit when put together on the risers.
He said it still is amazing to him the bond they can have because of music.

They are milking the now grown up computer gamers that have a little more income to work with but are ignoring future gamers. Game developers target the widest audience so that these cards aren't even utilized except by the few that have multiple monitor setups (probably somewhat common among people reading dailytech, but it's not really a mass appeal thing).

If someone has made this post, please redirect me to it (I can't find anything like this)
Anyways, recently, I tried to play AOE 3 TAD on my laptop, but for some reason, the disk wouldn't read (The driver is running and stops and runs again but nothing pops up). I clicked on the icon but it says "please insert disk" and when I clicked on the driver (which simply says "driver E") it wasn't loading, until I eject the disk and it says "please insert disk". It's all the AOE 3 disks and I don't know what is going on. I tried all my other games, and they all work, so for sure it is not a driver problem, but it's just the AOE 3 games that will not read at all. I even tried to uninstall and install but the disks will not read. What is happening?
if u have to post in continuation , than better u edit ur first post ,
have u checked ur dvd reader ?
knight_br:Optimal explanation .. very succinctly
LordStefanIII: Unkown_Genius:Leave it to Age.Comm to get a thread twenty miles off topic.:)Or turn into a flame war.
Unkown_Genius:Leave it to Age.Comm to get a thread twenty miles off topic.
You said you tried reinstallling -- does that mean you succeeded in reinstalling, or it gives the error again when you try to install?
If it's an issue with the game simply not launching, the latest patches make it so the game no longer requires the disc:
AoEIII: http://www.agecommunity.com/gameUpdates.aspx
The WarChiefs: http://www.agecommunity.com/gameUpdates_xp.aspx
The Asian Dynasties: http://www.agecommunity.com/gameUpdates_yp.aspx
If it's problems with both launching and installing, perhaps try cleaning your disc? Use a glass cleaner, such as Windex, and then wipe it with microfiber clothe, or if you don't have one, a tissue (the kind without any kind of lotion in it, of course). Make sure it's good and dry before putting it back in your computer.
Ok, well here's what's happening:
I insert any of the AOE 3 disks (all expansions and the original game) and the driver begins to read it. However, it keeps looping (like the driver reads the disk and all of the sudden it stops reading it. It tries to read it again, but stops again), and the driver is not reading any of the discs at all. I thought it was the driver, but I played 20 different discs (even AOE 1 and 2) and they work fine except for the AOE 3 games. I clicked on the logo for AOE 3 and it said "Insert AOE 3 Disk" and when opened up my computer, it didn't say AOE 3 but "Driver E" (I clicked on Driver E but it wouldn't open up any window, that is until I eject the disk and it says please insert disc in driver E).
So bottom line, the disc will NOT read at all and I'm sure it is not a driver issue. The discs have no scratches at all and are practically the same quality as the day I bought them from the store.
It's not commonly known, but physical disc media actually degrades over time. Generally a CD is probably going to be good for at least a decade, but in some rare occasions the disc may just degrade enough to not function properly.
In addition, laser tech has changed over the years, so your new drive may operate slightly differently than old ones. Usually backwards compatibility is not an issue, but if the disc is a number of years old it is possible that may be a problem.
It does seem a very rare occurring, but it is possible. Can you check the disc on another PC to see if it works by any chance?
Sorry about the long delay;
Yes I've tried it, it works on several other computers. Is there any other possible methods I can try to get (at least one of the disks) to read?
Cleaning Discs
Using them in another computer?
Do other game discs work?
Is it all AoE3 discs, or just one?
If just one, and you tried cleaning it, I'd call Microsoft and try to get replacement media.
It's just the TAD disk. Is there a specific way how to clean it?
ignore that

PRETORIA, South Africa, 11 July 2012 - Experts from the fifteen Southern African Development Community (SADC) countries will attend a regional workshop on the latest biofuels technologies in Pretoria from 24 to 27 July.
The event will be organized by the International Centre for Science and High Technology (ICS-UNIDO) based in Trieste, Italy, in cooperation with the Technology Innovation Agency (TIA) of South Africa.
"Biofuels technologies are constantly advancing," said ICS Managing Director Stefano Bologna. "They have a vast potential to provide energy, chemicals, drugs and nutrients, and are an important source of income for many emerging economies. Technology sharing and technology transfer in this area are very important."
Bologna added that the workshop will support the efforts of SADC and its member countries to develop new green technologies and regional and national policies on biofuels. The workshop will also help increase the awareness on both science and technology and the sustainability aspects in developing biofuels.
For further information, please go to the ICS-UNIDO website:

LAHAINA - Illinois' Brandon Paul certainly justified the preseason attention he received.
The 6-foot-4 senior guard was named Most Valuable Player of the EA Sports Maui Invitational on Wednesday after leading the Illini to the tournament championship at the Lahaina Civic Center.
In the title game against Butler, Paul had 20 points, four assists and three rebounds as Illinois won 78-61.

In three games on Maui this week, Brandon Paul shot 19-of-37 from the field, including 10-of-21 from 3-point range, and was perfect on 11 of his free throws.
The Maui News / MATTHEW THAYER photo
After receiving the MVP trophy, he lifted it above his head with both hands and faced the Illini fans on one side of the court, drawing a huge ovation. Then, he got a similar reaction when he turned around and faced the fans on the other side.
"It's obviously a blessing," said Paul, a member of the Wooden Award's preseason top 50 list. "I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for God, my family members, friends and my teammates and coaching staff. We came out with the mindset that we wanted to prove ourselves, and I think we did that. We got the championship we wanted, and I'm proud of my teammates. The MVP is just the icing on the cake for me."
Illinois is off to a 6-0 start under first-year coach John Groce, with five of the victories by double digits - including all three on Maui.

"Obviously, do you envision sitting at 6-0? I'm a little different, these guys will tell you. I focus on practice every day. We try to get better every day and let the results take care of themselves."
Paul, who is from Gurnee, Ill., listed Miami Heat star Dwyane Wade as his favorite player in the Illinois media guide. They definitely have similar games.
In three tournament contests, Paul had 59 points, 12 rebounds and nine assists. He shot 19-of-37 from the field - 10-of-21 from 3-point range - and made all 11 of his free throws.
Butler coach Brad Stevens expects to see Paul at the next level.
"They're a really good basketball team, and Brandon Paul is a pro (level player)," Stevens said. "He's a big-time pro. Not only because of the way he shoots it, but he creates distance on his drives. I had to ask (the officials) a couple times if he was traveling, and I don't think he was, but he has such a long stride it's tough to keep in front. We had good athletes guarding him and we still couldn't keep him in front. Clearly, he's as good as a pro prospect as there probably was in this tournament."
Paul logged a combined 94 minutes played in the tournament, but said he wasn't fatigued near the end of Wednesday's game.
"Quite honestly, my legs feel great," Paul said. "The coaching staff makes sure we got what we need done before the game, and when it comes to practice time. As long as we go hard in everything we do, coach Groce likes to have a pace for everything. They make sure we're fresh, and I'm feeling pretty good right now."
For the season, Paul is averaging 19.7 points, 4.2 rebounds and 3.7 assists.
"I think coach Groce's offense opened it up for us," Paul said. "The offense works with the type of players we have on this team. I probably took a couple bad shots today, but for the most part, the offense gives us a chance to make baskets. Not only that, just working in the offseason. We put up a lot of work not only as a team, but individually and it's starting to show now."

RJD legislator praises Narendra Modi
By IANS - PATNA
Published: 13th August 2013 08:35 PM
Last Updated: 13th August 2013 09:22 PM
Lalu Prasad's Rashtriya Janata Dal legislator Nawal Kishore Yadav Tuesday praised Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi and said he was better than Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and the most popular leader in the country.
"Modi is better than Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and the most popular leader. His style and body language have made him icons of millions of people, particularly the youth," Yadav told mediapersons here.
Yadav surprised RJD leaders here who are reluctant to comment on his praise for Modi, considered enemy number one of the RJD.
This was the first time that a leader in Bihar other than the BJP praised Modi. Lalu Yadav and his RJD have been critical of Modi since the 2002 Gujarat riots.

BOARDMAN - Momentum is arguably the biggest component of high school volleyball, and for the Salem Lady Quakers, an inability to recapture it in the waning sets of their Division II district final resulted in a loss to the Canfield Cardinals Thursday, 25-21, 20-25, 18-25, 17-25.
Despite winning the first set and scoring the first five points of the second, Salem couldn't keep up its pace.
"My girls all season when they are really fired up they play unbelievable," Salem head coach Allie Rich-Winner said. "The second that they lose the momentum, it's very hard for us to get that momentum back."
Salem took the first set in an up-tempo, back-and-forth contest. Canfield struggled and committed several errors to open the door for Salem.
"The first game, Canfield was making the mistakes and we were hammering them," Rich-Winner said.
The Lady Quakers opened up the second set with five-straight points, but Canfield responded to tie things up and eventually took control.
"We talked about how we were in this situation last year," Rich-Winner said. "We wanted it to not be a repeat of last year. The seniors wanted it so bad. They wanted to win and were hustling, but we started making too many mistakes."
Canfield also gave the Lady Quakers a steady dose of Nicole Luklan.
"When 16 (Lulkan) got to the back row, that's when we needed to run with the points," Rich-Winner said. "We had a hard time doing that. She's big and she hits right over top of our block every time. It was hard to block her with her getting up like that."
The ebb and flow of the first and second sets eventually gave way to a flurry of points to close out the match.
Salem's Lindsey Foster made several plays at the net to help string those along.
"She played tough all game," Rich-Winner said of Foster. "As a middle, you're blocking everywhere. That's very tiring. I give her a lot of credit. She kept working and in the huddle she was trying to keep everyone up."
Foster was a part of a group that included Megan Lehwald and Camrin Costal that helped lead Salem early on, and kept them believing until the final point.
"My middle's were really on tonight and tried to keep everyone together," Rich-Winner said. "Megan did an amazing job in the backcourt and I kept her in the front and she held herself together for being not very tall."
Rich-Winner credited the Lady Quakers strength of schedule for their ability to hang tough in the post season. A slate that featured many tough in-season opponents set the tone for their run in the tournament.
"I think that being in the NBC really helped us, because all of the teams in the NBC are tough," she said. "We played Cuyahoga Falls and Tusky Valley, too. So it was nice having those bigger games throughout the season to get us to this point."
In the third and fourth sets, Luklan, along with another big-hitting senior Sabrina Mangapora, found their power and aim above the net to grab and hold leads for the Lady Cardinals. Salem chipped away numerous times at deficits, but never enough to force a fifth set.
"I'm pleased," Rich-Winner said. "I'm happy with the way the played. As the underdog, I thought we came out and held our own."
The Lady Quakers finished the year at 15-10.

"O, what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive." — Sir Walter Scott
This hackneyed quote is now being exampled in the Benghazi investigation where tentacles are reaching throughout the Obama administration and pointing straight to the Oval Office itself. Four great Americans, deserted in the midst of battle by their superiors as they rendered their last full measure of devotion to their beloved country, will no doubt record Sept. 11 2012 as the blackest day in the annals of American history – the stench of shame will never go away.
The investigative agencies will no doubt spend millions of dollars and months of time following these tentacles, and perhaps become lost in a drama of epic proportions, when all they need to do is go straight to the White House for answers – we need to know which side our commander-in-chief is on.
Where there is trouble in the world, the Muslims are there, and yet time and again our president cannot bring himself to acknowledge this truth; and he has proven, beyond argument that he will lie to the world in their defense.
I would like to offer another hackneyed quote, "Truth crushed to earth shall rise again, while error writhes in pain and dies among her worshipers." It is heartening that in their death these four brave Americans gave testimony that love of country is still alive, even as freedom is vanishing from the earth.
