The artwork Larry Deskiewicz creates by moving the paintbrush affixed to a bicycle helmet on his head relaxes the muscles that his cerebral palsy makes tight and makes him feel good in general.
"It calms down my mind," he said.
His collected works have been growing over the past two decades, since an occupational therapist figured out a way for him to paint without using his hands, which are too constricted to hold a brush.
This year, his "Arrival" painting of a rural snow scene with a cabin, pine trees, a creek and footbridge, adorned holiday cards mailed throughout the area.
Other subjects – inspired by books and other paintings – include a big boat by grain elevators he named for his girlfriend Gloria Slomba, and three bare trees on a hill that will be a present to his brother.
The cozy little house he painted with snow on the roof, smoke coming out of the chimney and orange light in the window went out in the mail as a holiday greeting and is part of the Aspire agency's effort to get art made by its clients out into the community.
"Art is just being created left and right," said Amy Holdnack, coordinator of the iXpress art program, founded about seven years ago.
It filled the classroom where she spoke with Deskiewicz and Slomba. The walls in one of the agency's centers, in a converted Cheektowaga school on Community Drive, were hung with colorful abstractions that included blue and green circles by Slomba. Two easels held a Deskiewicz view of Niagara Falls lit up at night and a work in progress of a narrow street lined with shops.
"This is my baby," Holdnack said of the arts program. "To me, it's not about the end product. To me, it's the journey that people take."
Aspire, formerly known as United Cerebral Palsy, has long offered art. Now the renamed nonprofit serves adults with all kinds of developmental disabilities and has broadened its artistic menu to include dance, poetry and ceramics, as well as showings and performances that better connect the artists with an audience beyond the center's hallways.
Deskiewicz was proud that his painting of the boat, which he titled "Gloria America," sold for $1,700 at Aspire's fundraising auction in September.
In the year ahead, the expansive lineup of Aspire showings includes a show of Cindy Sherman-inspired character self-portraits called "Secret Life" that will run from Jan. 28 to Feb. 28 at Merge restaurant in Buffalo. The Quaker Bonnet restaurant on Allen Street will feature abstract paintings in May.
In July, an arts collaboration with Burchfield Penney Art Center, the Buffalo Chamber Players and the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra called the Odyssey will unfold and include art, text, photos and music. Aspire artists will interpret the Greek hero's quest by exploring memories and their life stories.
It used to be that art made by people with disabilities was isolated, said Holdnack.
That's been changing in recent years.
"Why shouldn't we share it?" she said.

Pitfalls, pratfalls of online travel research
I felt his stare before I heard his voice.
My husband, Jerry, whose years as a police officer are long behind him, tried to intervene.
"Step away from the computer," he said.
I could not.
I sat on the couch in wrinkled pajamas transfixed by my laptop screen. More daylight hours than I will ever admit here had swept by and still I pointed and I clicked.
We wanted to go out of town for a long weekend, and I wanted to plan the trip. Actually, I wanted the perfect trip and that desire had launched an obsessive, mazelike online quest for the cheapest deal, hottest location, softest bed, and overall most favorably rated travel experience.
I might have been better served to look up at the big picture frame in our dining room titled "memories," which displays photos of trips years past.
In one of my favorites, Jerry stands before a big rock with a fabulous, rambling mountain hotel looming in the background. An outdated AAA travel guide landed us there on a pre-online-travel-sites road trip that we capably executed on the fly, almost entirely.
That is how we rolled pre-Internet. I would dig out some AAA books or order a regional travel guide (through the mail!), peruse the information and maybe make a call (on a landline!) or reservation in advance. Sometimes, we just threw our gear in the trunk and hit the road with only vague destinations in mind and nary a reservation in hand.
Budget, not the search for a flawless experience, dictated the itinerary in those days.
Before we landed at that wonderful mountain inn, we drove from motel to inn in that area comparing prices until Jerry sensibly noted that we had just spent the afternoon trying to save $10. We signed into the hotel and had one of our most memorable stays ever, even with the shared hallway bathroom and searing radiators positioned two inches from the narrow, creaking bed.
Jerry will be the first to tell you I am not a terribly organized person. But somehow the older I get, the more I want to know exactly how my future time will be spent, as if somehow, I can control the experience by researching reality before time and choosing the perfect version. That is really crazy. I am realizing just how crazy as I write this.
Travel websites bolster this delusion. I can take a video tour of the rooms, study maps to see exactly what restaurants and attractions lie within walking distance and, most importantly and dangerously, read hundreds of user reviews on details from the peeling wallpaper to the cleanliness of the carpet and fluffiness of the bedding.
These reviews are not helpful. They are mental quicksand. I might be zeroing in on a choice, ready to hit "reserve" and then I spot it, the one negative review amid testimonies from dozens of other perfectly content consumers. The whining and contempt stop me cold. What if I get the nasty desk clerk or the rough towels? It could ruin the whole trip. Or so I imagine.
My tortured search starts again. And the sad thing is, I invariably and helplessly zero in on the same property any number of times, reaching it in different ways, before I finally commit.
We have no big vacation planned this summer. But there will likely be some smaller road trips. I think I will step away from the computer, at least once, just to see what happens.

"Obviously looks play a big part. Being attracted to someone plays a big part, but there's also so much more than that for me," the New York Jets quarterback, 25, tells Vogue in its October issue. (See video of the photo shoot.)
"It's about finding someone sweet and kind – and that has a servant's heart."
That latter phrase comes from the Bible – Tebow is a devout Christian – and refers to maintaining humility regardless of one's personal wealth or celebrity. It's clearly an issue for Tebow, who has both. And he doesn't want someone who's dazzled only by his fame or riches.
Mario Testino / VOGUE
The future Mrs. Tebow has a lot to live up to, he adds. "I've been blessed to have an amazing mom and two amazing sisters," Tebow says. "So they set a very high standard."
That said, he adds, "I definitely, definitely want a family."
Elsewhere in the interview, Tebow talks about life after football. One thing's for sure: He wants to be involved in some kind of public service.
"There are a lot of goals and ambitions that I have in life, things I want to accomplish," he says. "Who knows? I mean – it could be politics one day. I want to have a life that can help people."

Randolph County Superintendent of Schools Dr. James Phares said Tuesday he had been "misunderstood" by a Charleston paper that printed Phares said he had never intended to resign his position.
Phares told The Inter-Mountain last week that he would resign Monday, in light of the state board of education's president saying he wanted Phares to replace Jorea Marple, who was fired in a surprise move Nov. 15.
At Monday's meeting, Phares instead read from a prepared statement and asked the Randolph board to "wait on direction" from the state board.
Article Video
Dr. James Phares said he was "misunderstood" by a Charleston newspaper
In a Charleston Daily Mail article Tuesday about the state board situation, however, Phares indicated that he never intended to resign.
"Reached Monday evening, Phares said he had just learned of the decision to postpone discussion about a new superintendent," the Daily Mail article stated. "He also said he had never planned to resign Monday."
In a recorded interview Nov. 16, Phares told The Inter-Mountain the following:
"On Monday night, I'm going to ask the board to accept my resignation. There will be an agenda adjustment coming out this afternoon... My resignation would be effective at the close of business on Wednesday. I'm going to encourage the board to have a special session on Wednesday to appoint an interim replacement until such time that a permanent replacement can be found."
Contacted Tuesday afternoon, Phares told The Inter-Mountain that the Charleston reporter had "misunderstood" his comments while being interviewed for the Daily Mail story.
"I was not accusing The Inter-Mountain of misquoting me," Phares said.
Instead, the superintendent said he had tried to explain to the Charleston paper that he initially planned to resign, but when he learned that the state board's meeting today would not deal with finding a permanent replacement for Marple, he decided not to submit a resignation.
Department of Education officials said this week that the state school board members wanted to focus exclusively on a statewide education efficiency audit during Wednesday's meeting.
State Board President Wade Linger has faced some criticism for saying the day of Marple's firing that he wanted Phares to replace her. Phares confirmed in the Nov. 16 interview with The Inter-Mountain that state board officials reached out to him informally prior to last week.
Phares also told The Inter-Mountain in that interview that the "(Randolph) board was anticipating this. They did have a heads-up that this might occur," Phares said. "They may not have known that it would happen this fast."
Phares acknowledged on Tuesday that things "might have gone too fast" following Marple's firing.
"But I never said it was a done deal," Phares told The Inter-Mountain Tuesday. "I said, if offered, I would accept."
Phares was hired by the Randolph BOE in 2009, and took over the school system when it was under scrutiny from the West Virginia Department of Education and the Office of Education Performance Audit. Phares helped lead the school system through the turmoil, and full accreditation was eventually given to the system.

3 dead, including suspect, in Quantico shooting
March 22, 2013
QUANTICO, Va. (AP) — A Marine killed a male and female colleague in a shooting at a base in northern Virginia before killing himself, officials said early Frida....
Hey dumb dumb the Marines weren't attacked they were murdered and we will probably find out it was a on base domestic dispute. Some people freeze up some don't. Rev why do you even comment about this stuff,you don't even leave your living quarters.

HbrDumb: I guess you forgot about the case of the mall shooter, where a customer who was armed took cover and then aimed at the killer, who then shot himself because apparently he thought it was "game over."
That customer probably saved many lives. He is a hero. You embarrass yourself by pretending that such heroism is impossible.

Yuck @ Jk. A guy walks up to probably two people he knows well pulls his gun,shoots and kills them. Then kills himself. Noway you can ever stop that. Wha the NRA says is that In one of these mass shootings if a concealed weapon holder is there he can put the wacko down in the mayhem. Joe Kidd why not stick to yelping about the rich and the one liner jokes.

A male marine killed another man and female colleague and then killed himself? Sounds like a love triangle gone bad. If this is so the press will mention gun related deaths,rather than chalking these deaths up to using the military as a social experiment.

Six men are vying for three seats on the Alden Village Board, with all three incumbents running for re-election.
The incumbents include Angelo Daluisio, an appointee who is running for his first full term; Theodore "Ted" Mezydlo, who has been a trustee for 15 years; and Daniel J. Warmus Sr., who has served as a village trustee since 2008.
They are being challenged by Alden School Board President Paul Hutschenreuter, sheriff's department retiree Robert D. Overhoff Sr. and former trustee and mayor Michael A. Retzlaff.
Village elections will be held from noon to 9 p.m. Tuesday in Village Hall, 3336 Broadway. All candidates are running for four-year terms.
Hutschenreuter, 44, a project manager for Zoladz Construction, is running on the Taxpayers Party line. He has served on the Alden School Board for 13 years.
He named his campaign priorities as reducing taxes, controlling spending and accountability. He also cited his experience dealing with $25 million school budgets.
"I have been part of a board that has had to make difficult decisions regarding spending and reductions during these difficult financial times," he stated. He said nothing prevents him from serving on both boards.
Retzlaff, 46, principal at Springville Griffith Middle School, is running on the Citizens Party line. As a former trustee and mayor, he said, he's submitted eight balanced budgets, obtained grants and lowered the tax rate.
"I took pride in working with the other board members and employees to achieve many positive initiatives," he stated.
If elected, his priorities would include building relationships with stakeholders to deliver services efficiently, working to consolidate services with the town and school district when practical, and staying within the state tax cap.
Overhoff, 75, a retiree from the county sheriff's patrol division, is running on the Independent Party line. He said he'll be an independent voice for the residents.
"I have never been, and never will be, a yes man," he said.
Overhoff listed his priorities as public safety, stronger resident representation and greater availability to address resident concerns.
Daluisio, 64, a retired teacher who works as a part-time building trades instructor with Erie 1 BOCES, is running on the Accountability Party line.
He has lived in the village for 4½ years.
His priorities include responsibly developing and growing the business community, maintaining fiscal integrity and responsibility, and promoting government transparency.
"Being a relatively new resident of the village, having no prior political connections and seeking my first election, I would bring a nonpartisan approach to government, no political pretensions and a commitment to the residents," he said.
Longtime board veteran and retiree Mezydlo, 77, is running on the Citizens Party line. Among his accomplishments he cites the village's receiving major grants for street, sidewalk and waterline upgrades.
If re-elected, he said, he would work to keep taxes at a minimum, continue providing services at the lowest possible cost and upgrade the village's infrastructure and sewer plant.
He said his "experience and knowledge of what the goals are for our village" set him apart from his challengers.
Warmus, 53, a health care manufacturing engineer, has previously served as town supervisor.
He is running on the Accountability Party line. He said he has kept village taxes in check and has supported infrastructure improvements and emergency response vehicle and equipment purchases.
He said his priorities include avoiding a village tax increase, working to reduce energy consumption and keeping an open and constructive dialogue with residents and other agencies.
"I'm not running on hidden agendas or power grabs," he said. "Never have and never will."

Low voter turnout a bad omen for state
July 1, 2013
Low voter turnout last fall in West Virginia should come as no surprise. Neither should the fact that fewer than one in four young voters went to the polls....
The bad omen for the state of West Virginia with young voters is not that Obama was at the top of the list. Where was Romney and why didn't the young voters of West Virginia vote for that idiot. This was not a one sided election, the white electoral college did not take into account all the Black, Hispanic voters that live in the United States. They relied on white voters and sorry they just weren't anywhere to be found. That is how elections work if you don't like a Presidential candidate than vote for the other candidate or shut the*****up and quit whining it just shows your mentality.

A widow maker is an object that can kill men and therfore turn wives into widows.
The 'Widow Maker,' is a bong constructed by my friend Jonny and I by attaching a 3ft hoover pipe to increase chanber size for a bigger hit. This increased hit often left many good men paralised, or in some rare and tragic occasions, dead.
by Gabber May 23, 2006
A bong hit with which the bowl is loaded with at least five different types of marijuana. The pot can be in any form from bud to hash. The widowmaker is only referred to as such when the bowl is snapped in one hit.

Super Bowl Sunday was followed by a morose Monday in San Francisco when the city's resident political satirist spoke on a telephone.
"People are nursing psychic hangovers because they won five Super Bowls in a row, so they thought this one was a lock," Will Durst said, referring to Baltimore's 34-31 victory over the 49ers. "They were already planning parades."
A native of the state called America's Dairyland, Durst moved to the city decades ago, smitten with its eccentric culture, crazy politics and sports teams. He swapped Wisconsin cheese for California wine. Or is it whine?
"You talk about who was the better team, but it all comes down to whether or not the referee throws a flag," Durst lamented.
Solace for the funnyman is the state of politics, which provides more satirical fodder than - dare we pile on? - the government does cheese.
After all, in New Jersey Geraldo Rivera is contemplating a run for U.S. Senate, where the majority leader, Harry Reid, backed off a filibuster showdown as his first move of the new session.
"Once again, they showed a lack of vertebrae," said Durst, who advocates stem cell research in order to create a spine for Democrats.
Durst said he has new material for upcoming standup appearances, one at Crystal Bay and two in Reno. He wrote a one-man show targeting baby boomers, "Where's My Jetpack?"
"They are still doing drugs," Durst said about baby boomers. "Only now, there's a co-pay. One good thing about getting old is you only need nine books in your library. As long as you remember to read them alphabetically, they always seem new to you."
A columnist for Lake Tahoe Action, Durst likely will return to South Shore in the late spring for a weeklong run at Harveys' Improv.

This booklet is intended to help myeloma patients and their healthcare providers work together to overcome any and all obstacles to adherence to safe and effective oral cancer therapy. It will help patients understand potential obstacles to complying with a doctor's treatment plan in order to achieve the best results.
You can view the entire document as a PDF by clicking on the icon below, or by requesting a free hard copy from the Foundation.

"Adherence" to an oral therapy means that in order to achieve the best results:
In the case of myeloma, there are currently three FDA-approved treatments available to myeloma patients that are taken orally: Thalomid® (thalidomide), Revlimid® (lenalidomide), and Pomalyst® (pomalidomide).
Several other oral therapies for myeloma are currently in clinical trials. Oral therapy now plays, and will continue to play, an important role in treating myeloma. Adhering to the doctor's treatment plan – and seeking help for any possible problems that could cause deviation from that plan – are crucial to achieving the best possible treatment outcome.

Hello all IxD'ers I'm working on a new presentation on the area of
UX trends for the near and not so near future. I did some research
online and read many of the UX blogs to find out what is upcoming. I
would love to have it more focused on bigger corporations who are not
as flexible and able to quickly make gigantic changes to their system
because this is the kind of market we operate in as a company. We
mainly do in our department intranets and corporate websites based on
big platforms like SharePoint.
I am looking for some data about mobile users (especially iPhone
users), in order to have an idea on for future designs. Do you have
any useful resources?

WINGATE - If nothing else, the 29th Lezzer Lumber Classic, held Friday night at Bald Eagle Area's Alumni Stadium, was highly entertaining before a decent crowd on a warm night.
While there were flashes of defense throughout, offense, as is usually the case in all-star sporting events, was ever present on both sides of the ball, with the North defeating the South in the highest score ever in the event, 49-27.
The Outstanding Players on Offense and Defense, selected by the media, were: Von Walker of Central Mountain, offense, and Dan Fry of State College, defense, for the North team; Brian Urban, Hollidaysburg, offense, and Matt Barton, Hollidaysburg, defense.

Hollidaysburg's Kaleb Springer, on the South team, wraps up DuBois' Jared Baummer.
"Coming into an all-star game like this, you really don't know what to expect," South coach John Barton said. "You don't know what's going to happen. The key to our game plan was that we spent a lot of time on special teams. Every day in practice we made sure to make the most of what we were going to do on special teams, and tonight they were able to make some plays.
"I will say it was entertaining," Barton added. "I'm a defensive-minded coach, and all that scoring is not my kind of fun. A 7-6, 12-10 score is always fine with me, and I always hate those kind of games, but sometimes that happens. And I suppose, as you said, it was very entertaining because there was a lot of points scored."
Despite losing by 22 points, the South produced 375 yards of total offense to a mere 190 yards for the North.
The game didn't start out so well for the South team as the North took the opening kickoff 27 yards on a return by Clearfield's Trey Jordan to the South's 45. Doug Twigg, Glendale, ran for 7. Walker hook up with Jordan on a 40 yard pass play to the South's 9. Walker then bolted in for the score and the North was up 7-0 following Phil Esposito's (Brockway) conversion with 10:53 to play.
The South managed five yards on three plays and were forced to punt from their own 24 but a bad snap resulted in a safety for a 9-0 lead.
Not to be outdone, the South's defense rose to the occasion when Hollidaysburg's Matt Barton recovered a fumble, and aided by a downfield block from Altoona's Josh Kutz, rambled 45 yards for a touchdown. Huntingdon's Bryant Weller booted the PAT to make it a 9-7 game with 8:59 still to play in the opening period.
A 34-yard return by Jordan put the North in business at mid-field then QB Cole Long, Bald Eagle Area, hooked up on a 23-yard pass to DuBois' Jared Baummer. Walker tacked on a 15-yard run but then the drive stalled and the North settled for Seth Beardsley, Clearfield, 16-yard field goal and a 12-7 lead.
The South then went on the longest drive of the game, 15-play, 91-yards, that was capped by Hollidaysburg's Urban bulling into the end zone from a yard out to take a 14-12 lead.
The North responded with a 43-yard return from Twigg. Walker ran for 12 and then QB Long found Jordan for a 22-yard scoring strike. Esposito's conversion gave the North a 19-14 led.
The South responded with another long drive going 92 yards in 12 plays capped by Urban finding Golden Tigers' teammate Blake Davis for a 25-yard score and a 21-19 lead.
State College's Dan Fry stopped the South's drive with an interception that the North turned into another score, a 17-yard run by Glendale's Damon Braniff, giving the North a 27-21 halftime lead.
"I thought it was a very hard-fought game," said Hollidaysburg's Kaleb Springer. "Both teams were obviously very talented but unfortunately they made some plays that just broke us a couple of times.
"We thought we had a good week of practice and were ready," added Springer. "But it's an All-Star game and things happen that you can't be to upset about.
"It was a great honor for me to be selected," said Springer. "When I found out I was selected I was thrilled. My brother played in this and ever since I've always wanted to play in this game. It's been a great opportunity. This will definitely get me ready for college football and I've met a lot of good people and made a lot of new friends. After all that's what this is all about."
The North increased its lead to 39-21 midway through the third period when Walker hooked up with DuBois' Baummer on a 50-yard scoring strike.
Following a South punt, the North was on the march again going 58 yards in seven plays capped by Penns Valley's Scott Johnson finding DuBois' Garret Brown for a 56-yard scoring strike. Esposito's PAT made it a 42-21 North lead.
The South's final score came off a circus catch by Tyrone's Charles Wilson-Adams who made a leaping catch for an 11-yard touchdown. The PAT was missed and the North held a 42-27 lead.
The North closed the scoring with a short 20-yard drive capped by Walker's 8-yard run and Esposito's PAT.
"It was absolutely an entertaining game," said North coach Michael Keith, Moshannon Valley. "It was all all-stars, the best of every team so it was easy to coach and they were great group to work with. They were all gentlemen and fun to be around and they will all do good things in the future.
"We were a little surprised on the points we put up," add Keith. "You come in and you never know what to expect. You just don't know but it was fun to watch and to coach."

Wildside Grain-Free Raw Freeze Dried Wild Salmon Cat Treats are 100% wild Alaskan Salmon pieces. Perfect as a treat or a food additive for those picky eaters. These treats are freeze dried and pouched in China under strict HAACP quality guidelines. Nothing is added, just 100% Wild Salmon.
WildSide Pet Products state of the art, HAACP approved human grade food processing facility in China has the capability to fillet, freeze, prepare, freeze dry and package their WildsideSalmon products in a single location. The quality of their finished product is unsurpassed and backed by US independent lab tests, as well as by the USFDA.
What is HACCP? HACCP stands for Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points. The HACCP system focuses on identifying and preventing hazards that could cause foodborne illnesses rather than relying on spot-checks of manufacturing processes of finished seafood products to ensure safety. FDA's 1997 science-based HACCP regulations initiated a landmark program designed to increase the margin of safety that U.S. consumers already enjoyed and to reduce seafood related illnesses tothe lowest possible levels.
The main safeguard WildSide Pet Products have in place is the simplicity of a single, wild ingredient from Alaska. Wild Salmon are tested each and every season for a wide variety of contaminates including but not limited to heavy metals. Their products are produced in an HAACP approved human quality facility (with much higher standards) and not a pet food plant. The FDA also tests their products regularly to ensure quality.
Their long-term production partners in China have a state of the art facility which is monitored by their staff living in China. They also visit the facility several times each year to oversee production.
Again, WildSideSalmon treats are tested and approved for human consumption and contain no ingredients from China, just 100% Wild Alaskan pink and keta salmon.
Available in two stand up, zip seal metalized pouch sizes: 1.5 oz & 3 oz.

We use the WildSide Salmon treats as a treat alternating with the Halo freeze dried chicken as a daily reward following medication. Our kitties love their reward!
Cat Loves!
By Jetpak
from SF Bay Area
My cats wait for this in the morning, showing up at their treat bowls, and then go out to their day. They have excellent dry food, and wet food, but this is what they're most adamant about — their freeze-dried appetizer/treat/rewards.
Merchant response: "Treat bowls"??? We want to live at your house :)
The ONLY Salmon Treats They'll Eat
By Femery
from Oakland CA
Texture & Quality is consistent, flaky but not crumbly. No weird unchewable dark meat parts. A mix of large and small cubes. We give it to cats as behavior lure and reward.
Purfect Healthy Treat
By Nickal16
from Irvine
I found this treat when my cats had to eat a bland diet that they did not like the taste of. Since it is all natural I crumble on top of the food and it encourges them to eat it.
Split personality!
By Moosemunch's Mom
from Michigan
Wow! My one cat looked exactly like the cat on the bag - wild-eyed and salivating! The other didn't want anything to do with these treats. No accounting for taste!

Wild Salmon Treats
By Jake
from Brook Park, MN
My cat absolutely loves these treats, so does my dog. My problem is that they are caught in Alaska but sent to China for freeze drying. I don't understand why it couldn't be an all American made product.

Our cats go Wild for these treats!
By Catzzzy
from Utah
Our three cats could never agree on treats until these Wild Salmon treats. They all love them (to the point of obsession...). Our female took longer to warm up to them (I hadn't found a treat yet that she liked), but now she is right there with the boys when she hears the sound of the bag opening.I love the fact that they are all natural and am grateful that they are usually easy to break into smaller pieces since the cubes are bigger size.The only other treat I have found that they like as much as these are the Wysong Dream Treats. It is so nice to have two nutritious treats that all three of our cats crave.

U. of Illinois economist speculates on 2011 corn acreage
U. of Illinois economist speculates on 2011 corn acreage
Most of the focus on 2011 U.S. planted acreage centers on corn acreage. There are a number of reasons for that focus, according to Darrel Good, an agricultural economist at the University of Illinois.
First, under the current policy regime, there is a mandate of 13 billion gallons of renewable biofuels production during the 2011-12 corn marketing year that begins on September 1, 2011. Almost all of that mandate is being met by corn. The mandate implies that a minimum of 4.65 billion bushels of corn will be used for ethanol. Consumption of corn for food and industrial purposes other than ethanol is currently running at about 1.4 billion bushels per year. Typically, U.S. corn exports are near 2 billion bushels per year, and feed use is currently near 5.2 billion bushels per year. With adequate supplies, then, use of corn during the 2011-12 marketing year might be near 13.25 billion bushels. All of that potential consumption must be met from 2011 production since stocks at the end of the current year are expected to be at pipeline levels, according to Good.
The supply and demand environment for the other two major crops, wheat and soybeans, is fundamentally different than for corn. For wheat, domestic stocks at the end of the current marketing year (May 31, 2011) are expected to be relatively large. In addition, winter wheat seedings were reported to be 3.7 million larger than seedings in the fall of 2009.
For soybeans, stocks at the end of the current marketing year are expected to be very small, but prospects remain good for a large South American harvest that is currently underway. The Brazilian crop could exceed the record harvest of 2009, and China is already buying South American soybeans. In addition, U.S. soybean acreage in 2011 will get a boost from the large increase in soft red winter wheat acreage and the opportunity for double cropping of soybeans.
For corn acreage, two questions need to be answered, according to Good. How many acres need to be planted in 2011? And is there opportunity to accommodate the needed increase? An opinion about the amount of the acreage needed is influenced by a number of factors, including the likely strength of demand, a judgment about the appropriate level of price, the desired level of 2011-12 marketing year ending stocks, and the expected U.S. average yield in 2011. With prices at "reasonable" levels, it appears that corn consumption would likely be near 13.25 billion bushels during the 2011-12 marketing year. To bring some price relief to end users of corn, but maintain prices at profitable levels for producers, some buildup in year-ending stocks should be an objective for next year. An inventory near 1 billion bushels would not provide a large buffer for production shortfalls beyond 2011 but would likely meet the dual price objective.
An increase in stocks of 325 million bushels would require a crop of 13.575 billion bushels. For now, the safest assumption about the 2011 average corn yield is a trend value. The USDA and others are using a trend yield of 162 bushels. Good's analysis suggests that trend yield for 2011 is closer to 159 bushels. A yield of 162 bushels implies that harvested acreage would need to be near 83.8 million and planted acreage near 90.9 to produce a crop of 13.575 billion bushels. A yield of 159 bushels implies harvested acreage of 85.4 and planted acreage of 92.5 million. To allow for yield risk, Good still believes planted acreage of corn needs to be near 93 million in 2011.
The recent history of total planted acreage of crop land in the U.S. shows that total acreage tends to expand when commodity prices are high. It should be possible to plant an additional 4.8 million acres of corn in 2011 even with an increase in winter wheat and cotton acreage. However, corn prices will have to remain high enough to motivate such a large increase. Corn prices continued to move higher through last week. However, prices for the 2011 crop have not increased as much as the old crop. March 2012 futures are 90 cents below March 2011 futures prices. More strength in new crop corn prices may be required to get the needed acreage response.

Performing songs from his new album The 20/20 Experience during a two-hour show, the pop star was supported by his wife Jessica Biel and pals like Jason Sudeikis, Olivia Wilde, Andy Samberg, Joanna Newsom, Brooke Shields and Uma Thurman.
Biel, dressed in a navy tank top and white pants, had a blast rocking out in the VIP mezzanine area during the show, which was sponsored by MasterCard. "She knew all the words to his songs and was dancing the whole time," an onlooker tells PEOPLE. "She looked very proud."
Biel also occasionally chatted with Sudeikis and fiancée Wilde, who were seated at the next table with Samberg and fiancée Newsom and sipped on water throughout the show.
"Jason and Olivia were so cute and affectionate," adds the onlooker. "He was whispering into her ear during the concert. They looked very much in love."
Perhaps no one had as much fun as Thurman and Shields, who were also seated next to each other in the VIP area.
Thurman, who brought daughter Maya Ray, "was freaking out, singing and dancing with Maya and having so much fun with her," the onlooker says." At one point, the actress, dressed in a white tank top and jeans, took a break from dancing and singing to snap cell phone pictures with Shields, who was with a female companion. "They were having so much fun," says the observer.

A Resource for Families Considering Residential Treatment Programs for Their Children
September 2008
If you care for a child with a serious mental illness, you are not alone. According to the Surgeon General, 1 in 5 American children and adolescents live with mental illnesses and nearly 5 million suffer from a serious mental disorder that significantly interferes with daily functioning.
Caring for a child with a mental illness can be overwhelming and often strains marriages and family relationships. Children with serious mental illnesses may struggle in school, threaten violence to themselves or others, or get caught in the juvenile justice or criminal justice systems. Meanwhile caregivers often experience frustration, guilt, or anxiety as they struggle to find help for their child.
Although most children with mental illnesses respond to standard treatments, some children with more serious mental illnesses continue to struggle. If you are a caregiver who has utterly exhausted community mental health care resources, you may be considering sending your child to a residential treatment center.
In the
Residential treatment is an extreme measure that should only be taken if local resources have proven inadequate. Conscientious residential programs that use proven interventions such as evidence-based psychotherapy, drug and alcohol counseling, parent support and education, and social-skills training can strengthen families and help facilitate live-saving changes.
The time spent in a residential program should be as short as possible, with the goal of returning the child to his or her family and community with the least amount of stress and disruption possible.
The following five lists of suggestions and information have been compiled from various sources to help you make an informed decision about sending your child to residential treatment.

Dylan Farrow says it took all the courage she had to finally pen the emotional open letter she sent to the New York Times detailing her claim that her adoptive father, Woody Allen, had sexually molested her as a child, she exclusively tells PEOPLE.
"It took all of my strength and all of my emotional fortitude to do what I did this week in the hope that it would put the truth out there," says Dylan, 28, now a happily married writer. "That is my only ammunition. I don't have money or publicists or limos or fancy apartments in Manhattan. All I have is the truth and that is all I put out there."
When she spoke out for the first time about the allegations of abuse in Vanity Fair's October issue, her comments were overshadowed by the revelation that her brother Ronan, 26, might be the biological child of Frank Sinatra instead of Allen, which left her feeling "that no one cared," says a family friend.
David Mcgough / DMI / Time Life Pictures / Getty
Allen, 78, has vehemently denied any abuse, with his rep telling PEOPLE, "Mr. Allen has read the article and found it untrue and disgraceful."
Throughout a criminal investigation and bitter custody battle in 1992 and 1993, Allen maintained that he never molested Dylan and accused Dylan's mother, Mia Farrow, of coaching Dylan to repeat a false story. Farrow has always emphatically denied that.
Jane Read Martin / Globe
Answering Her CriticsDylan says she knew she would be taking on one of the most powerful and esteemed forces in Hollywood. Indeed, some of Allen's defenders claim she wrote the letter – during awards season, no less – to sabotage her father, whose film Blue Jasmine is nominated for three Oscars. Others have said she wrote it to vindicate her mother. (Mia did not see the piece before it ran, a family friend says.)
"I've been hearing that a lot," says Dylan. "I'm happy to answer that. My intention in writing that piece was to put the truth on paper from a voice that was not able to speak before."
"People are saying that I am not actually remembering what I remember. People are saying that my 'evil mother' brainwashed me because they refuse to believe that my sick, evil father would ever molest me, because we live in this society where victim blaming and inexcusable behavior – this taboo against shaming the famous at the expense of their victims – is accepted and excused."
Elle JotaBFANYC.com / BFAnyc / Sipa
Her Turning PointA turning point for her came on Jan. 12, the night of the Golden Globes, when Woody Allen received the Cecil B. DeMille Award for lifetime achievement, which his longtime friend, Diane Keaton, accepted on his behalf.
Dylan says that she had wanted to share her side of the story for a long time. But, she tells PEOPLE, "After the Golden Globes, my brother Ronan showed immense bravery for standing up for the family and I realized it was my turn to stand up and to tell the truth."
On Jan. 12, Ronan Tweeted, "Missed the Woody Allen tribute – did they put the part where a woman publicly confirmed he molested her at age 7 before or after Annie Hall?"
Dylan says she knew the letter would draw "backlash."
"I knew there were people saying I was a liar and that this was part of some smear campaign – some bitter vendetta of my mother's," she says. But, she adds, "I didn't realize that it was going to be a betrayal of this magnitude."
'My Brother Has Broken My Heart'That betrayal, she says, came when her brother Moses Farrow, 36, spoke out to PEOPLE this week.
Dylan spoke to PEOPLE shortly after she learned what her brother had said. Clearly anguished, she sobbed as she said, "My brother has broken my heart. Moses divorced himself from the family a long time ago. I always missed him. I loved him and I kept him in my thoughts. These lies – this betrayal – is unfathomable to me coming from a brother I loved and cherished and grew up with," she said.
"I'm sorry," she said, apologizing for crying. "I'm shaking right now."
Moses and Dylan, who were both adopted by Allen and Farrow, and their brother Ronan were at the center of a 1993 custody battle in which both sides testified about Allen's affair with Farrow's adopted daughter Soon-Yi Previn, whom Allen went on to marry in 1997. Farrow was awarded custody of Moses, Dylan and Ronan.
None of what Moses said is true, maintains Dylan. "It's lies. It's all lies." She stands by her letter, saying, "My memories are true. What happened to me as a little girl ... is my cross to bear. But I will not see my family dragged down like this. I can't stay silent when my family needs me."
She says there was a time when she adored her father. "Part of the reason why it was so hard for me to write the piece that I wrote was because once upon a time I loved my father so much."
Dylan says that when her mother heard the contents of Moses's letter, "She was stunned. She couldn't believe that he betrayed her and me and the family like this. Her reaction is on par with mine."
Farrow, who declined to respond to Moses's accusations, Tweeted, "I love my daughter. I will always protect her. A lot of ugliness is going to be aimed at me. But this is not about me, it's about her truth."
A Greater GoalAmid the sadness she feels over her shattered family and childhood memories that continue to haunt her are moments of happiness and normalcy. While she spoke to PEOPLE, her husband stood in the background, comforting her.
She says she and her husband met through an ad on The Onion. "And we have been in love ever since. Yesterday was the anniversary of our first date. It's been seven years."
"He is the most wonderful man in the world. When they say living well is the best revenge – I have that. My conscience is clean. I have told the truth. I cannot say the same for Moses."
She also has her family, who she says has always been there for her. "I love my family so much. We are a strong family. We are a loving family. We are a brave family. We are fighters. I love my mother so much."
She hopes her open letter will help sexual abuse victims come forward and seek help.
"I am hoping to help at least one person out there. And that's why I spoke out."
For much more on this story, including details of Dylan's and Woody Allen's lives now and an update on all of Farrow's children, pick up this week's issue of PEOPLE, on newsstands Friday

Happenings on the Hill
Essential Health Benefits Guidance Document Released by HHS
The Affordable Care Act, commonly referred to as the health reform law, created health insurance exchanges to help uninsured people obtain health insurance. The law requires that the insurance plans offered through the exchanges provide coverage for essential health benefits. There are 10 broad categories of services considered to be essential health benefits, including hospitalizations, maternity care, and prescription drugs. Additionally, the law says that the benefits should be similar to those offered in the typical employer plan. On December 16th, the Department of Health and Human Services released initial guidance regarding the essential health benefits that plans offered in the Insurance Exchanges will have to cover. The Guidance is the first indication of how the government will implement the essential health benefits requirements.
Broadly, the guidance allows states to choose an insurance plan whose covered services will define the essential health benefits for other plans offered in the state. States can choose between one of the three largest small group, state employee, federal employee or HMO plans offered in the state. The state must pick a plan that includes all 10 categories. So, if a set of services isn't included – such as mental health services – they must be added. This plan would then serve as the benchmark for all other plans included in the exchanges, meaning that they would have to meet or exceed the benefits provided in the benchmark plan.
The government is accepting comments on this guidance document through the end of the month. Already, many stakeholders have expressed concern that the federal government has given a lot of discretion to the states because they had hoped that there would be a federal standard to ensure adequate insurance coverage.
Federal Cancer Appropriations Update
Just before the end of the year, Congress passed legislation setting the appropriations, or federal spending levels, for fiscal year 2012 (FY2012). The National Institutes of Health received a $240 million increase for NIH, a little less than one percent over the budget for FY2011. And the newly created Cures Acceleration Network received $10 million to start its work on reducing the time it takes to move new drugs and treatments from research to the clinic. In the final bill, Congress also agreed to establish within NIH the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences, an entity that will seek to "reengineer" the process by which new discoveries in fundamental science move from lab to clinic. Overall, total research spending for FY2012 stands at $142 billion, approximately $1.9 billion or 1.4% below FY2011 levels.

Comic book movies are increasingly like Sandra Bullock in "Gravity": Lost in space.
3 (out of five stars)
Director: Alan Taylor
Cast: Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman, Tom Hiddleston, Anthony Hopkins, Christopher Eccleston, Rene Russo, Idris Elba, Kat Dennings, Stellan Skarsgard
Rated: PG-13 for sequences of intense sci-fi action and violence, and some suggestive content
Running time: 1 hour, 51 minutes
Following the summer's glumly bombastic "Man of Steel," which added a heavy dose of Krypton politics to Superman's once pleasantly silly story, comes "Thor: The Dark World," in which Thor's Asgard, a celestial home of gods floating somewhere in the universe, is the primary setting. Earth is an afterthought, just one of the "nine realms," albeit the one with Natalie Portman.
Gone are the earthbound pleasures of a superhero amid us mortals. Such was the joy of the "Spider-Man" movies and the first "Thor."
As Marvel's latest 3-D behemoth, "Thor: The Dark World" isn't so much a sequel as the latest plug-and-play into the comic book company's blockbuster algorithm. It's a reliably bankable formula of world-saving action sequences, new villain introductions and clever quips from women on the side.
The expansive Marvel universe is carefully stitched together across its many properties.
"The Dark World" (with director Alan Taylor of "Game of Thrones" taking over for Kenneth Branaugh) follows "The Avengers" in chronology and runs alongside the current ABC series "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D."
Each is referred to with cloying winks. The great city of New York, for example, is reduced to shorthand for the climactic battle in "The Avengers," as if we're still so consumed by that movie.
Thor has spent the last two years restoring order to the nine realms of the cosmos, but just as peace settles, a previously locked-away dark energy called the Aether seeps out. It leaks into Portman's astrophysicist, Jane Foster, awakening a previously vanquished species of Dark Elves, led by Malekith (Christopher Eccleston). They would like to see the universe returned to complete darkness.
This occurs as the nine realms are lining up in a rare convergence that makes them particularly susceptible to Aether-spread ruin.
To save Life As We Know It, Thor seeks help from his duplicitous adoptive brother, Loki (Tom Hiddleston), who has been imprisoned for killing thousands of humans at "New York."
When "The Dark World" touches down on Earth, away from the "Clash of the Titans"-style realms of gods, it's considerably better.
Along with Portman, returning is the sarcasm sidekick Kat Dennings (as Jane's intern) and Stellan Skarsgard as discredited scientist Erik Selvig.
The tone is far more amiable on Earth than in Asgard, where Anthony Hopkins, Renee Russo and Idris Elba remain locked in golden-hued majesty.
Hemsworth, a seemingly perfectly rendered movie star equipped with brawn and baritone, also suffers from the stiffness.
He had much more fun in "Rush" earlier this year.
Ardent fans will likely be satiated by the pleasing enough "Thor: The Dark World." But perhaps at this point, even diehards may wish for something more from a Marvel equation that often subtracts humanity.

Friday, June 14, 2013
Sometimes the smallest of things can have the biggest impact. Friday, it was one small squirrel that took out an entire city.
Friday morning the power went out in much of Summerville, leaving 4,887 SCE&G customers in the dark, so to speak.
Traffic lights were out, businesses lost the ability to do business, police and fire personnel had to direct traffic. In short, it could have been a disaster. However, SCE&G employees had at least half its customers back up and running by 11 a.m. and the other half by 11:30 a.m.
Kim Asbill, SCE&G spokesperson, said in all, customers were only without power for about 45 minutes.
SCE&G used its Twitter account – @SCEGnews and Facebook to keep customers up to date on the status of the outage.

About Utah: Q-and-A with a Nobel laureate
Editor's note: In 2009, the Jon M. Huntsman School of Business honored Lars Hansen with a Professional Achievement Award, given by the school to recognize individuals who achieve extraordinary success in their careers and demonstrate uncommon leadership in their communities. Hansen took graduate-level economics classes at the Huntsman School of Business. This Deseret News story is an interview with Dr. Hansen and he talks about some of the professors at USU who were influential in his life.
By Lee Benson, Deseret News
Lars Peter Hansen is a former Logan High School and Utah State University student and now a Nobel Prize winner in economics.
The question: How many graduates of Utah's public schools have won a Nobel Prize?
The answer: One, Lars Peter Hansen, a graduate of Logan High School and Utah State University, who two months ago at the Nobel's annual ceremony in Stockholm was awarded the 2013 Nobel Memorial Prize in economics. He shared the honor — and its $1.2 million stipend — with U.S. economists Eugene Fama and Robert Shiller.

Parenting is hard work.
Every night when I go to sleep, I am exhausted, both physically and mentally. The days that are the hardest are those where it feels like a never ending 3-on-1 tournament. The short team verses the tall mom. They usually gang up on me and nibble my ankles with fighting and fussing until I cave and collapse into agreement to their demands.
On those days, I feel like a huge clock-watcher just waiting for 5:15 p.m. when Super-Dad swooshes in the front door and saves the day. Or at least saves the bedraggled mother from a play dough peril and Tonka tantrums.
In the midst of chaos, I try to find the small things to appreciate: the fact that we can play outside in Colorado's December sunshine in T-shirts today, watching my 6-year-old get a band-aid for my 2-year-old by herself after a fall, or enjoying the fact that my 4-year-old put his shoes on by himself - I only had to ask six times, but he did it. And today I have a 9-piece Safeway sushi in the fridge for lunch, and no one else likes it, so I don't have to share!
And the part of parenting that I love is when we plan some one-on-one time. In the moments when I get to take only one child with me anywhere is when I really get to know them as individuals. Leaving the herd behind is special for them, too.
I could probably whisper in one of their ears, "We are going to the dump to sort garbage, just you and me." And as soon as they hear the magic words, "Just you and me," they would practically have their car seat buckled.
Recently, I had the opportunity to take my 4-year-old to his preschool Christmas program. Normally very stubborn and independent, he was an angel at this event. I almost wondered if I had put the nametag on a different child at the door.
And last night I had a date with my 6-year-old to a reception with cookies and cocoa where one of her school art projects was on display. It was bright and beautiful, just like her.
These one-on-one moments brighten my days as much as they brighten theirs.

Wednesday, April 17, 2013
The following incidents were obtained from Berkeley County Sheriff's Office incident reports:
A burglary was reported at a Red Leaf Boulevard residence near Moncks Corner. The owner suspects the incident took place between March 28 and April 8. There were no signs of forced entry but the deadbolt was on and the door was open.
A realtor called the victim upon this discovery. The victim said a rug, a dining room table with six chairs, a stainless steel refrigerator, a washer and dryer and a self-propelled push lawn mower were among the missing items.
The estimated value of the missing items totals $3,100.
• On April 8 a deputy met with a Timberland High School assistant principal in regard to a concession stand burglary. Unknown subjects broke into the football field concession stand and stole four cases of assorted sodas valued at $52 between March 29 and April 8.
The complainant noted spring break was the week of April 1 – 5. The deputy obtained latent fingerprints.
• An antique cast-iron syrup catcher was reported stolen from a Cross resident on April 8. The antique is about five by five by three feet in dimension and black on the outside and red on the inside. The victim checked with a scrap metal facility to no avail.
The antique is valued at $100.
• A St. Stephen man reported that his 1992 white Chevy Silverado pickup truck was stolen from his residence between 8 p.m. on April 7 and 5 a.m. on April 8.
The vehicle is a short bed with step sides, a skull in front of the grille, a skull in the middle of the Chevy symbol on the tailgate, a hood scoop, rims painted orange on the inside, and a back glass with a sticker of a skull on the driver's side.
