JEFFREY BROWN: A firestorm raged in the Colorado countryside today, after exploding across containment lines near Colorado Springs. Firefighters struggled to keep up and homeowners scrambled to get out of the way.
NewsHour correspondent Tom Bearden begins our coverage.
TOM BEARDEN: The flames swallowed entire neighborhoods on the edge of Colorado Springs overnight. The mayor's office said dozens of homes were destroyed.
MAN: Visibility is down to near zero in many parts of the northern half of Colorado Springs.
TOM BEARDEN: The Waldo Canyon fire seemed to flare out of control in the blink of an eye when the winds picked up unexpectedly.
WOMAN: These winds started picking up to about 65 miles per hour. That wasn't in the plan.
GOV. JOHN HICKENLOOPER (D), Colorado: This is tough, and we're going to — and we know it's going to be tough, but we're also not going to back away. We're not going to back quit.
TOM BEARDEN: Some 32,000 people were ordered to evacuate, and fast, including hundreds living on the U.S. Air Force Academy campus. They grabbed precious possessions on the fly.
WOMAN: I'm so scared. I don't want to lose my home.
WOMAN: It's upsetting to see our state on fire.
MAN: Flames were coming down the hill towards the road and people were driving up on the median and stuff. So, it was nuts.
TOM BEARDEN: Shelters were set up offering food, water and a place to sleep. There was even room for household pets.
JERRY LILLY, Resident of Colorado: I'm kind of numb at the moment. I think the kids are handling it a little better than I am. I'm a little worried about where we're going to stay tonight and how we're going to get things done. The fire was like less than a mile from my house and the flames were huge and pretty scary when you have three kids and all your pets.
TOM BEARDEN: In fact, according to a recent report, one in four homes in Colorado lies in a fire risk zone and 100,000 people have moved into those zones in the last decade.* That left a lot of people living on the edge, as the Waldo Canyon fire roared across 24 square miles.
But officials insisted they do have the manpower to cope.
If you have all those resources and all those boots on the ground, how did you lose houses last night?
GREG HEULE, Public Information Officer: Mother Nature just decided move the fire the way she wanted to go. And when you have Mother Nature in that kind of situation, with those three factors that affect fire behavior, fuels, topography and weather, when those three are in alignment, there's nothing anyone can do.
TOM BEARDEN: And Mother Nature was set to pose fresh challenges.
RICH HARVEY, Fire Incident Commander: We expect the development of thunderstorms over the fire this afternoon. Thunderstorms present a unique problem for us, in that the wind can come in any direction from those at any time with pretty strong gusts. So we do expect all of our lines to be challenged again today.
TOM BEARDEN: Another challenge for firefighters is the heat. Colorado is in the midst of a seemingly unending heat wave, temperatures forecast in the high 90s today.
And officials say the pall of smoke over Colorado's second largest city isn't likely to disappear anytime soon. Yet another blaze, the Flagstaff fire, crept closer to Boulder, Colorado, after lightning ignited brush yesterday.
MAN: The clouds rolled through and a couple of lightning bolts hit the ground and we saw one come hit the Flatirons and smoke billowed out right afterwards.
TOM BEARDEN: The fire prompted mandatory evacuations in Boulder County, and warnings in the city of Boulder.
MAN: Photos, photos, photos.
WOMAN: We packed things that we thought were mementos, photographs.
TOM BEARDEN: Military C-130s dropped fire retardant on the flames and residents even hired private outfits to protect their homes.
MAN: We're pre-treating the vegetation behind both homes very significantly, which will hold up for the next several hours.
TOM BEARDEN: There was a spot of good news further north. The 136-square-mile High Park fire near Fort Collins is now 65 percent contained.
BETH LUND, Fire Incident Commander: We use the engines to wet down the fuels, and then we have to have firefighters actually turn that soil over and make sure that all the live material is out, extinguished. So, a lot of folks don't realize the amount of work that has to go into securing that fire line. And we try to get it a couple hundred feet in secure, so that if a gust of wind comes up, it doesn't — there's nothing hot on the edge to blow across the line.
TOM BEARDEN: In fact, crews that have been fighting the High Park fire drove south today as reinforcements against the Waldo Canyon fire.
GWEN IFILL: Rain began falling as the day wore on, but not yet enough to aid those firefighters. The White House announced today President Obama will travel to Colorado to tour the fire scene this Friday.
For more on where things stand, I spoke a short time ago with Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper.
Governor Hickenlooper, thank you for joining us.
Can you give us a sense of how much worse this devastation is today than it was this time yesterday?
GOV. JOHN HICKENLOOPER: Well, you know, we have got this terrible drought. And we have been fighting a number of fires around Colorado again, relatively speaking, a tiny part of the state, but it seems like there's been a lot of fire.
And we knew we had this fire started on Saturday just to the west of Colorado Springs. But it was over on the other side of the mountain. Late yesterday afternoon, we had those — you know, a front move through with high winds, what they call a column collapse, and, literally, in a matter of hours, the fire just blew past everything that had been done, overwhelm — I mean, nothing could have stopped it; 60-, 70-mile-per-hour gusts of winds pushed this through the trees and into residential subdivisions at a pace that — again, the firefighters were incredible, but nothing could have stopped this fire.
GWEN IFILL: But you're still talking about 32,000 people evacuated.
Are they — do you have any way of knowing whether people are obeying these evacuation orders, and where are they going?
GOV. JOHN HICKENLOOPER: Oh, they are definitely obeying the evacuation orders.
I mean, if you saw the — some of the footage of the fire, it was very intense. We flew a helicopter up yesterday to — from Denver down to — I-25 is completely closes, do we flew in — to get down to the scene, we flew over the fire, and it was — it looked like some sort of a, you know, extreme movie set, just fire everywhere, houses willy-nilly.
I don't think anyone is trying to stay in their home and defend — some people are very frustrated being forced to evacuate and worrying about their homes. But most of them are staying with friends, and we have — Red Cross has done an incredible job of setting up shelters, but the vast majority of people are staying with friends and helping each other, which is how Colorado and how America has always dealt with these kind of things.
GWEN IFILL: And how has the Air Force Academy been affected by this? We know that the fire has at least been along the borders, but have there been evacuations there, and is this a federal, state, or county responsibility?
GOV. JOHN HICKENLOOPER: Well, we evacuated the Air Force Academy yesterday. The fire was coming so fast. And this was even before it blew up.
So we still have today — we worked it out last night — what they call a dual-status command. And it's a way by which a governor and the president can coordinate efforts. we have a dual-status commander now who is a guy named Pete Byrne (ph), who is an Air Force National Guard representative.
And so he operates as the liaison to make sure that we can take federal assets and soldiers, bulldozers, helicopters, whatever tool we can to bring to this fire, and coordinate it, so we don't get into each other's ways with the National Guard and the civilian efforts and the U.S. Forest Service efforts. And…
GWEN IFILL: Governor — I'm sorry. Go ahead.
GOV. JOHN HICKENLOOPER: That's full tilt. So, we stood up that today. I talked to — I mean, we went all the way up through the command.
GWEN IFILL: I know you talked to the president about it.
Governor, you had some pretty tough words yesterday for the possibility that arsonists may have had anything to do with spreading this fire. What is your sense whether that is so and — or whether it's lightning strikes or other natural sparks here?
GOV. JOHN HICKENLOOPER: Well, we don't have pure evidence, but there were — certainly there have been a lot of rumors and stories, and what we want to make sure is we don't jump to conclusions. Or we want to make sure that we are judicious and cautious in our approach.
But just the very thought that somebody would be out there trying to cause a fire, right, an arsonist who for some strange kick gets joy out of this, I wanted to make clear that we'd throw the book at them. Right? An aggravated arson, you can get up to 48 years in Colorado.
And in conditions like this, where it's so dry, and just to think about putting people at risk like that, it just — it, I think, drives everybody crazy, right? It just makes your blood boil.
GWEN IFILL: In the meantime, you can only hope that the weather turns to your advantage.
Governor John Hickenlooper of Colorado, thank you so much.
GOV. JOHN HICKENLOOPER: Well, we appreciate it. And we appreciate all the help — the federal government — the president did call today. We have had Secretary Napolitano. We have had so much support from all over the country. Governor Deval Patrick called this morning from Massachusetts.
It does make you appreciate what America is.
GWEN IFILL: Thanks so much.
GOV. JOHN HICKENLOOPER: You bet.

Have Mental Health Questions? Ask a Psychiatrist Online
I have not seen a therapist. I went to my psychiatrist who helped me with both post partum anxieties. When I went to therapy after my first post partum, I thought it was useless because the therapist would ask me to pick words as to how I was feeling. I felt fine. I felt myself.
The 2nd post partum, I would cry alot and practice deep breathing. Both times, I was better after the meds started working and I started feeling myself.
This time, my psychiatrist said I developed the anxiety from thinking about being pregnant again and I did not want post partum again. I work out 5 days a week at the gym. I started go for meditation classes once a week on Saturdays since February 2nd. I do deep breathing. The meds have helped me sleep. I feel more myself except with the chest pressure once in awhile. If I take a deep breath, it goes away- most of the time. I know it is only anxiety. I know the remeron is working. I just get frustrated sometimes because I want to be back to myself. When I could not sleep before bed because I had a lot on my mind, I would read. Then I wouldfall asleep. That was not alot of the times. Just once in awhile. But I never had the chest pains or the constant mind wandering. I am usually the type of person that if everyone is healthy, then everything is good. I could stay at my desk and work through lunch just to get through things if work got too busy. I always know there is a light at the end of the tunnel with work and every day I am not busy. Yes, I do think I need to learn meditation. I have been. I do think I need patience for the meds to work and try not to get frustrated. I do see progress. I do think, will this happen again especially if I go through menopause. I know I cannot die from anxiety. I just do not like the feeling. I like when I feel myself. I am not a positive person a 100% of the time. I do have bad days. I do yell at my husband, sisters, kids or mom when I get really upset.
My psychiatrist says I will get better. I have not had a period since February 1st since this all started. I am not worried that I am pregnant. I am wanting to make sure I am doing the right things or I want someone to be honest with me that it may never go away. I guess no one can know that answer. I do not fully understand why this has happened and pray to God it never happens again. But I cannot worry about that. I know there is no magic pill for anything. I just want the truth in what I am doing is going to make me better or not and I do want to learn other coping mechanisms. I thought I had good coping mechanisms. Just a person who is inpatient, confused, wanting for the next day to come to see if I am better than the other day, etc...
Thanks for taking the time to read this.
Joanne Kass
Dear Joanne,
Thanks so much for your detailed letter. It looks like you know yourself well and this is a temporary incident that is related to your fear that you are pregnant and relapse to your anxiety. I wonder if your MD has tested your hormones to see if you are also suffering from a hormonal imbalance. Many women even early in life such as there 30's suffer from hormonal imbalances. Some of the symptoms you describe remind me of low thyroid symptoms. Your gynecologist can test you and make sure all your hormones are in the optimum levels. As for anxiety, anxiety is the body's and mind's response to a harmful event (something the mind or body identifies as harmful). The minds identifies an experience of anxiety in the past as harmful automatically because this is the way humans developed to protect ourselves from harm. I wondered if your therapist was a Cognitive Behavioral Therapist or not. The activating event was thinking that you may be pregnant, some automatic thoughts may happened in your mind such as " I wonder if I will have post partum depression and anxiety", those thoughts even if you don't take time to think them create anxiety and if you are too busy the anxiety may manifest as a panic attack. I am glad you are learning how to meditate and deep breathing that will help. One more recommendation is when you take a deep breath notice if you have any thoughts that trigger anxiety and if you do take time to write those thoughts down. It is important to take a deep breath and dispute those thoughts as they come to you. For instance, an anxious thought may be " I will be overwhelmed and anxious and will not be able to finish my project" your response would be " I am ok and always manage to do my work". Replacing your negative automatic thoughts with positive ones will help you relax and feel better. I also want to tell you that I noticed that the first incident of anxiety is the worst one that my clients have. Why because most learn how to cope with anxiety and know they have overcome it before. I would also want to discuss stressors that increase anxiety such as working long hours and not taking time for yourself. I know as a mother and a professional we are often stretched too thin. We tend to be so many things and do some many things for everyone else. Do you have dedicated time to yourself? Do you have time to follow a hobby to fills you up and makes you happy? Maybe 3 hours on the weekends to go shopping or hiking with a friend or getting a baby sister to spend time just with your husband. I hope this helps let me know if you have any other questions about this
Thank you, Penny. My primary care doctor checked my thyroid. Although, lower than from other years it was still in the normal ranges of 0.89 (hTSH). My Free T4 was 1.24 and Free T3 was 2.9. My psychiatrist said my levels are find. I did check years past and noticed my hTSH was between a 1 and 2. Is that cause for concern?
My ob/gyn checked my hormones and said all was normal.
I go and workout everyday after work. My husband and I have a good balance. Kids are in bed by 8 and then I sit down and just relax.
Thank you,
Thanks Joanne,
I wonder if there have been changes in your job a new study found that stress in the job can create anxiety and depression. I am glad that you have a good balance in your life. Do you worry about being getting pregnant?
Hi Penny,
I do not worry about getting pregnant. A couple of months ago, I was thinking maybe we should have a 3rd child when I saw two people I graduated with froom high school that were pregnant. I thought it would be nice to have three children and I love my boys so much. I am blessed to be a mom. I also have my niece who is 7 and is here every weekend. I love having her here and it gives my sister who is a single parent a break since she watches my two boys and has her daughter during the week. When I thought I might be pregnant, I knew my husband and I would get through it and thought of names and who would be the Godparents. But then Thursday night that week when I went to bed, I was crying saying I did not want to be pregnant again. We have it good. I did not want to go through post partum again and I am 39 and the financial burden of having another child. I was also on the internet Thursday looking up ways to prevent postpartum anxiety. I saw how people have their placentas turned to pills and that helped some people. Friday, I felt in a funk and after I spoke with my friend, I felt better. Instead of going to the gym, I went to the store to purchase a pregnancy test. It was negative. I cried from relief and guilt. Then, I got my period and was laughing. I kept telling my husband that if I did not get my period by the weekend, then I would get a pregnancy test. I kept telling my husband I did not feel pregnant.
Do I worry about getting pregnant? No. Just the one time, my husband came before putting on a condom. Otherwise, we use a condom and he is getting a vasectomy. We talked about this before all this happened because he hates condoms and I really do not care to take birth control pills or have an IUD even though they are hormone free. Today, I cleaned the one level of my house. Sometimes cleaning is therapeutic to me. I tell my husband when I am sitting on the house and not seeing all the toys on the floor, I feel more calm. Although, I also tell myself that when I see the toys they will not be there forever. This is a house that has kids with too many toys. This phase in life of the kids being young goes by in a heart beat. I just am frustrated that the symptons of anxiety came- not able to sleep, eat, racing thoughts, and chest pressure. However, each day it is getting better. I am eating. I am sleeping but with the help of medication. I was able to focus and clean. Sometimes, I like to sit down with a good book and other there days I just want to do things. I think I am normal. I just want to make sure I am on the path to getting better. I believe I am. I have trust in my doctor. But sometimes when I feel that pressure in my chest, I think maybe I am not getting better, maybe I need another opinion. I scheduled my physical because I just want to make sure all is well with me. This anxiety scared me but I still went out for my birthday even though I wanted to sit home. I still went to my cousin's baby shower even though none of my sister in laws or other family members were going. I still kept up with working out. I did not call in sick to work even though I felt sometimes like I just wanted to be locked away until I was all better. I joke that I am going to have a talkk with God when I see him in Heaven. I want to ask him why humans have to deal with mental illness of any sort and why women have to deal with hormones. We should all be on Earth just to enjoy the life you gave us annd have fun. But that is for another topic.
Penny- is there anything I should do? I know I cannot worry about preventing this. I am a little worried that it has been since February 1st since I had my period. I am thinking it will come back once I am fully steady but of course, I will ask my psychiatrist and my primary care physician when I see her at the end of this month for my physical.
I have a lot to look forward too. My sister had a baby boy that I will be his Godmother. I am going on a 5 day European cruise with a friend in April. I will miss my husband and kids like crazy but to see the history will be great. I have a family cruise at the end of this year. Life is good. I need to focus on that and not when I have a chest pain.
Thank you so much! Joanne
Hello there Joanne,
I think you are doing all you can do so far and I am sure you will get better. I do suggest that you see a therapist. A cognitive behavioral theapist can help you deal with the anxiety by providing more tools and teaching you how to stop the thoughts that cause anxiety. I think you are doing all you can do without therapy. I believe that maybe 5 visits with a therapist that is mostly covered by your EAP plan would clear your anxiety. The progressive relaxation techique helps many of my clients when they get an anxiety attack. Try it, here is the method. Tense and relax different parts of your body starting with your toes all the way up to your head and breath in and out. Your body will feel more relaxed and your breathing more even and you will feel more relaxed.
Thanks so much, for talking with me and I hope this helps
Thank you so much for taking the time to explain everything and help me. I did get my period yesterday. However, I was unable to fall asleep after taking my medication. I did fall asleep eventually but did not sleep for long. I think that had to do with my period.
I know I am not a 100%. I went to a friend's child's birthday party and I could not relax. I just wanted to leave. I do not know if it has anything to do with the time change, my period, the anxiety, etc...
Once I returned home and sat down, my husband and I watched Saturday Night Live. Justin Timberlake was hilarious. I actually sneezed during the show.
It has been awhile since I sneezed. I cannot wait to get back to 100% myself. At work, I will get tensed now doing work. Never happened before. Anything that I can do at my desk? I just want to feel relaxed again all the time. Thank you for everything. Joanne
Here is a progressive relaxation techique. I do this one when I am on my desk. It takes about 10 minutes. The first time it may take less.
Feel your feet. Sense their weight. Consciously relax them and sink into the bed. Start with your toes and progress to your ankles.
Another short techique is called the stop techique. When you get an anxious thought ask yourself is this thought helping me?
Is it making me happy?
If not take 3 deep breaths and let go of the though
Smile with your whole body.
Remember a memory of love or peace. Fill your body and mind with the memory and continue to take deep breaths.
Continue and go back to the though if you need to from a place of compassion for yourself and everyone else.
How do you feel? You will usually feel free of anxiety.
Thanks so much for working with me. I really enjoyed to get to know you.
I will check back with you in about a week to see if those two methods help out.

Highly effective team meetings help dairies more readily achieve their short- and long-term goals. These team meetings provide focus, direction and accountability for the team and for each team member, when properly structured and facilitated.
"Regular team meetings can have a critical role in structuring your dairy for success," says Kristy Pagel, regional sales manager with Diamond V. "The most effective meetings always have objectives, and these objectives help focus the team during the meeting itself. By the conclusion of the meeting, the team has developed a specific action plan. This action plan reflects the meeting's discussions and provides direction for the team and each team member."
Members of the team can vary somewhat but should include the dairy's owner(s), key managers and key advisors and influencers. Each of these team members should be willing to actively participate in discussions. Ultimately, each team member will be expected to accept responsibility for and take specific actions to launch the dairy toward further success.

Ken Boshcoff thinks the city could have done more to convince the family of Terry Fox to house a collection of artifacts from his journey in Thunder Bay.
The at-large councillor wanted the city to be home to nearly 200,000 pieces currently in storage at the Library and Archives Canada. But a report to council Monday from city archivist Matt Szybalski said Darrell Fox, Terry Fox's brother and senior advisor at the Terry Fox Research Institute, wants the collection to stay together as a 55,000 square-foot museum and research centre near Vancouver, close to Fox's home town of Port Coquitlam, is in the works.
Boshcoff said the city should have rallied with Shuniah and various regional organizations to form a plan years ago. Perhaps even the new proposed event centre could still be considered as a home for the collection.
Coun. Aldo Ruberto said the city has to respect the family's wishes and that due diligence was done to see if there was any interest in Boshcoff's idea.
"I think we're doing the right thing," Ruberto said. "I do think we did try."
A traveling Terry Fox exhibit will cross the country starting next year. The city is working with the Northwestern Ontario Sports Hall of Fame and the Thunder Bay Historical Museum to bring it to Thunder Bay.

Mike never liked being put in a box so he spent the last 20 years as an entrepreneur, investment banker, author, motivational speaker, university professor, angel investor, and as a "professional beggar" and fundraiser for various children causes. Having traveled to 54 countries, Mike is truly an international renegade always willing to jump on a plane to explore new opportunities.
Having successfully failed at over 200 ideas and ventures and having built a number of profitable businesses, Mike enjoys mentoring CEOs of startups, opening doors to new clients and investors and all the way to finding the right exit. Since 2011, Mike is a member of Tech Coast Angels (TCA), a network of 300 angel investors who have invested $175 million in 300 deals and raised over $1.5 billion from VCs.
Currently, Mike serves as founding CEO of Krowd Mentor (crowdfunding agency), Chargeback Armor (credit card chargeback re-presentment & analytics platform) and TimeWare Solutions (smart home & office automation).
Previously, Mike founded GeniusGiver, a crowdfunding and social network platform allowing anyone to become a fundraiser for his/her favorite charity WITHOUT begging for donations from friends and while monetizing their social graphs at the same time. This concept is too disruptive for the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to understand its value and after an investment of $200,000, Mike decided to let it hatch further before bringing it to market.
Since its inception in 2005, Mike has been a proud member of Karma International, a philanthropic social business network. In 2012, Mike was honored with the Member of the Year Award for his dedication and support of Karma's charities, recruiting new members from all over the world and for "paying it forward" by helping others achieve their goals. Over the past decade, Mike has been instrumental in recruiting 25% of all of Karma's members by first bringing them value and benefits and then inviting them to join Karma where other members can also benefit from their friendship and expertise in the fields they activate in.
From 2003 to 2016, Mike served pro bono on the Board of Directors and as the Director of Fundraising & Strategy for Blue Heron Foundation, a charitable organization which raised $1,800,000 from 1,000 donors for various projects benefiting 3,000 Romanian and Moldovan orphans, including a program that awarded 300 teenagers university scholarships. Additionally, from his Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) budgets (2006-2009), Mike contributed $250,000 to charitable projects managed by United Way, UNICEF, Friends of the National Museum of Romania, H.R.H. Princess Margarita of Romania Foundation, Ovidiu Rom Association, and Marie Curie Hospital for Children in Bucharest.
In 2006 Mike established Leo & Leo in Romania, providing management and franchise representation services to Maserati, Segway, NetJets, NetSuite, PrivatSea, Sunseeker Yachts, Rockstar Energy Drink, Orgil Greenhouses, Marsh, and Miss Universe. Total sales reached €60 million.
Since 2009, Mike's main focus has been on advising and investing in startup technology companies in both Romania and California. In November of 2011, after a year-long negotiation with Adevarul Holding (Romania's largest print media company at the time) Mike sold a minority stake in tetatet.ro (the LinkedIn of Romania) to this conglomerate, which at the time was owned by billionaire Dinu Patriciu. Mike and the original founders remain majority shareholders in the social network.
From 2005 to 2008, Mike served as Country Manager in Romania for Rockstar Energy Drink, the 2nd biggest energy drink in the USA. Mike secured a distribution deal with Interbrands, Romania's biggest distributor of FMCG products with over $1.6 billion in revenues. Romania was the first country Rockstar expanded to outside of North America, and today is found in 35 countries through Pepsi's distribution network.
From 2000 to 2006, Mike served as the Founding CEO of Pioneer TeleCare, a e-commerce company distributing office products and other consumer goods. Total revenues reached $4 million and the company employed 20 employees between its office in Los Angeles and India. In 2006, Mike sold his 50% stake to his business partner and moved to his native country to capitalize on Romania's upcoming entry into the European Union in January of 2007.
In 2008, Ziarul Financiar (Romania's top financial newspaper) named Mike one of the Top 1,000 business people in Romania. In 2010, Polirom published Mike's life story in "Why did I return to Romania", a collection of 40 stories of Romanians who went abroad to study and/or work and returned home after many years to make positive changes in their native country. Mike was first published in the 2007-acclaimed book, "Open an Online Business in 10 days," published by Entrepreneur Press, the publishing arm of Entrepreneur Magazine.
From 2000 to 2003, Mike was a Senior Associate at WestPark Capital, a Los Angeles-based investment-banking firm where his responsibilities included identifying and evaluating new investment opportunities and assisting clients with strategic alliances. Previously, from 1998 to 2000, Mike was an Associate at The Interlink Group, a Los Angeles-based investment and merchant-banking firm, which specialized in infrastructure projects in India, Pakistan, South Korea and Saudi Arabia. For six months during 2002, Mike was also an Associate at Millennium Capital Partners, a Beverly Hills-based merchant banking firm and venture capital firm, where his responsibility was to source a strategic equity investment for Geely Auto, China's biggest non-government owned automaker. Mike also initiated discussions with the CEOs and board members of all the major auto brands in the US and Europe and Geely ended up buying Volvo from Ford in 2010.
From 2000 to 2005, Mike served as an Ambassador of the Los Angeles Venture Association (LAVA) as well as a member of the Organizing Committee for the annual Investment Capital Conference (ICC), which at the time was the largest annual investment capital conference in the United States. In 2002 and 2003, respectively, Mike also served on the Board of Directors of the China World Capital Forum (WCF), which had a $1.4 million budget from the Province of Nanjing's Tourism and Promotion Board. In 2004, together with three friends from Los Angeles, Mike co-founded the Romanian-American Professionals Network (RAPN), a network of like-minded business people of Romanian origin living in the United States.
Mike holds a degree in Economics (1999) from Pepperdine University (Malibu, California), a Certificate in Negotiations, Arbitration, and Mediation (2003) from Pepperdine's School of Law and has completed the Program on Negotiations for Senior Executives (2008) from Harvard Law School. Mike completed studies in business, history and law in the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Turkey, Greece, Israel and Switzerland.
From 2002 to 2006, Mike served on Pepperdine's Alumni Board of Directors, the Alumni Career Advisory Council and was an Advisor to Pepperdine's Students in Free Enterprise (SIFE) chapter. In 1998, Mike founded the Young Professionals Global Network (YPGN), a non-profit mentoring organization, which currently has over 2,000 members in 70 countries. During 2012-2013, Mike served as Chairman of the Advisory Board of Pepperdine University's master degree in Social Entrepreneurship and Change. Mike also currently serves on the Board of Pepperdine's Alumni Leadership Council since 2012.
In 2003, at the age of only 25-years, Mike was given the great privilege of teaching at Pepperdine University's Undergraduate Business Program for two semesters. His honorary fee was donated back to Pepperdine as Mike believes that teaching should be done without monetary compensation. The course he designed, "Success 101," prepared college students to network into their dream job or to start their own business ventures. During the summer of 2003, Mike offered over 100 young professionals from 33 universities from all over the world a 5-day "Success 101 Business Academy" where the participants had the opportunity to be mentored by 37 top executives, including five self-made multi-millionaires.
Over the past decade, Mike has enjoyed over 4,000 media appearances and was featured in USA Today, Wall Street Journal, Entrepreneur Magazine, Business Week, Malibu Times, China Central TV (CCTV), Business Week, Men's Health, Top Gear and many others.
Born in Bucharest, Romania in 1977, Mike moved to Israel together with his family in 1988 and later migrated to the United States in 1992. Mike is fluent in Romanian, Hebrew and English and has basic knowledge of French.

We've had temps near 90 all week, but it's hard not to start thinking about Halloween crafting.
The candy!
The decorations!
The school supplies are gone and they're starting to creep into the stores.
I'm ready. :)
This little project is a fun take on the classic candy necklaces my littles love.
With a little adult supervision, even kids can make this simple little craft project. I think it's perfect for a fun and festive accessory or they could even be Halloween party favors!
To make these, you'll need:
gumballs {I found individual gumballs at the party store for less than 10 cents each...they also sell bags of single colors.}
drill with a small bit or skewer
large upholstery {or plastic for children} needle
To make the necklaces:
Start by poking holes through the gumballs to make them into beads. I used a drill bit for the sake of this project, but if you plan on chewing the gum or giving these, you may want to consider using something food safe, like a skewer. Use good judgment. :)
Gumballs are hollow, so be careful making a hole. The shell on the outside tended to crack if I used too much pressure.
Then thread the ribbon through the large needle and string the gumball beads.
I experimented with different color combos and tying bows in different ways. It was a lot of fun!
The Hub Network's First Annual Halloween Bash Costume Contest is going on now, with a chance to win a prize valued at $25,000!

The Mind's Eye
By Oliver Sacks
Knopf; 263 pages
It's not exactly a knock on Dr. Oliver Sacks to say his writing recalls that of Sigmund Freud, who wrote with alacrity and (rather naive) fascination about the idiosyncratic psychiatric problems of Viennese society people. Similarly, Sacks has developed a modern brand as a physician-writer, one who can chronicle the weird neurological ephemera of his high-class patients in a way that sounds partly like a new episode of House and partly like a Victorian novel. Lilian, a musician who lives in a luxe part of Manhattan, can play the piano but can't see a sofa that's right in front of her; Patricia, who runs an art gallery, has severe aphasia (inability to speak), though her brain seems otherwise healthy. As always, Sacks' writing manages to be at once lively and crystalline, but much of it feels like well-trod territory. And notably, he fails (or perhaps refuses) to engage with any larger concerns about mental-health care. We get nothing, for instance, about how poor patients with odd neurological problems are dealt with when they lack health insurance. Sacks has a great feel for the peculiar, but that is all you're left with in the end.

Windham, for a day trip (New York)
It's not the biggest mountain in the world. But if you live in the New York area — as do more than one-third of American Jews, according to the recent Pew survey — you only have a couple of options if you're a decent skier looking for a day trip.
Forget those places in New Jersey. Get up early and make the two-hour drive to the Catskills. When you see the sign on the Thruway for Hunter Mountain, you might be tempted to turn off. Hunter's not a bad choice.
But if you hang on for one more exit you'll find Windham Mountain, a lesser-known ski area of comparable terrain with only a fraction of Hunter's crowds. At 279 acres, Windham is actually 40 acres larger than Hunter, and the snow is just as good. Which is to say, even when Mother Nature is not being helpful, there's plenty of snowmaking to keep the trails covered.
Yes, it might get icy. And no, you won't mistake it for the Rockies or the Sierras. But if you don't have a week to kill and a couple thousand dollars to burn, and you just need to skip out on work for a day, Windham will feel sublime.
Vital Stats:
Size: 278 acres
Trails: 52
Lifts: 12
Vertical: 1,600 feet (Base: 1,500. Summit: 3,100 feet)
Special features: You can get there from Manhattan by bus.

T. J. Hileman
T. J. (Tomar Jacob) Hileman (1882–1945) was an American photographer born in Marienville, Pennsylvania,[1] who is renowned for his photos of Glacier Park in Montana, and Blackfoot people.
After working a while in Chicago and graduating from Effingham School of Photography there, he moved to Colorado and began to take photographs. In 1911, Hileman moved to Kalispell, Montana to open his own portrait studio. He and Alice Georgeson were the first couple to marry in Glacier National Park in 1913.[2]
Appointed the official photographer for the Great Northern Railway in 1924, Hileman took photos of Glacier National Park and Waterton Lakes National Park in Alberta, Canada, moving bulky camera equipment by packhorse, even at times perching on a narrow ledge to get just the right image on film. He also photographed the Prince of Wales Hotel in Waterton, Alberta, which was built by the railway. In 1926, Hileman opened photo-finishing labs in both Glacier Park Lodge and Many Glacier Hotel, which were convenient for tourists who could drop off their film evenings and pick up their prints the next morning.
Photographs of local celebrities, Kainai and Piegan Indians[edit]
In 1985, the Glacier Natural History Association purchased more than a thousand of Hileman's nitrate negatives, which were added to the collection of Hileman's albums which already contained more than 2,000 prints. Some 107 of these photos were purchased by the Glenbow Museum in Canada, where they comprise part of their collection relating to Blackfoot history.[3] These photos are especially valuable to researchers for their examples of Kainai and South Peigan styles of clothing, hairstyles, ornaments, and housing.[4]
Documentation of climate change[edit]
Hileman's 1938 photo of Grinnell Glacier has been used as an early image documenting the state of that glacier in the first half of the 1900s. Subsequent photos in the ensuing decades, which have been taken from the same vantage point, show evidence of a steady state of retreat for that glacier.

OAK PARK HEIGHTS — Bitter cold overnight temperatures are believed to have caused a broken water line early today in the area of Panama and 63rd streets, according to city officials.
City Administrator Eric Johnson said a Public Works Department crew located the break in the 15000 block of 63rd Street and were working this morning to repair the line.
"It was shut off about 7 a.m.," Johnson said. "Hopefully, we'll get it fixed by noon today."
Johnson estimates that about 10 to 20 homes in the area of the break had their water service shut off while crews repair the line.
The water line break occurred on one of the coldest mornings of the winter with area temperatures around 13 below at 10 a.m., according to the National Weather Service office in Chanhassen.
Much of eastern and southern Minnesota and western Wisconsin were under an NWS wind chill advisory until noon today. NWS weather forecasters said the combination of cold and wind produced wind chill readings of 25 below and lower.
"Dangerously cold wind chills of minus 25 to minus 35 degrees will continue this morning across the region," said an NWS statement. "Frost bite and hypothermia are possible if precautions are not taken."
The statement added that anyone going outside today should wear a hat and gloves to protect against the cold.
NWS forecasters said cold air would remain over the St. Croix Valley today with a high struggling into the low single digits above zero. They added that diminishing winds will ease the dangerously cold wind chills.
"Slightly warmer temperatures and lighter winds will return this afternoon and allow wind chill values to increase to the single digits to teens below zero," forecasters said.
Clouds are also expected to increase this afternoon with snow developing this evening, forecasters said. Lows are expected to fall to near 0 with light wind. About one inch of snow is possible, forecasters added.
More light snow is forecast Saturday afternoon and evening, forecasters said. The high Saturday is expected in the middle teens, with a low near 5 Saturday and northwest winds 10 to 15 mph producing wind chills near 12 below.
But the best chance of accumulation snow comes Sunday night with 2 to 4 inches possible, according to forecasters. It will remain cold with a high in the middle teens and low near 10.
Monday will see cloudy skies and a high near 21 with light winds, forecasters said.

My Reasons for Reporting This


text:
The Magen David, the shields of David, has come to be used in modern times, as a universal symbol of Jewish national identity. As Jewish symbols go, it does not have a particularly ancient background and seems to have been first associated with Judaism in the middle ages. The Magen David was adopted by the Zionist Movement as the Jewish national symbol. Today, the Magen David is the central element of the flag of the State of Israel and in many ways, is symbolic of the unity of Am Israel.
The Menora – is first mentioned in the book of Exodus where it is stated that its design was inspired by a revelation from on high. The seven branches Menora was used in worship in the Temple in Jerusalem. When the Temple was destroyed, it becomes the central symbol of Jewish religious expression. Today the Menora appears as a symbol of the Reform movement world wide.
Ali Netzer – the leaves of Renewal and Redemption. The leaves are symbolic of the "new shoot" referred to the Isaiah 11:2, as well as representing the central Jewish religious theme of the prospect of redemption. They are symbolic of the "fresh approach" created by the Reform movement.
Netzer – the name Netzer – the name of the movement, the Hebrew word means a new shoot, new growth, and it is to be found in Isaiah 11:2: "and a new shoot shall grow forth from his roots; and the spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord."
× .צ.ר – the Hebrew acronym for Noar Tzioni Reformi - Reform Zionist Youth. Begun in September 1979, and officially founded in January 1980. Netzer is the youth movement which caters for a youth of the Progressive Movement and all young Reform Zionists in the world.
The world-wide Progressive Zionist Youth Movement offers Zionist and Progressive Jewish informal education and experience to over 6,000 young people from the age of six till their mid-twenties, from Reform Progressive and Liberal communities in over 14 countries.

Egg Week continues here on the Feed, and now we turn our attention to cartons. Mystified by all the claims on your 12-pack? Us too. Here's what those terms really mean.
Tells you almost nothing; every raw chicken egg is "natural." Keep reading the label.
Means the hens were not confined to cages. But many cage-free birds never leave crowded barns. Similarly, "free-range" hens have outdoor access, but that doesn't mean they get much past the exit.
The first choice of the BA Test Kitchen. This indicates cage-free, free-range hens that eat an organic vegetarian diet. Free of hormones and antibiotics.
The best choice, but pricey and harder to find. Birds can roam outdoors to forage for insects and grass, which produces healthier (and often tastier) eggs.
The size you'll need for most recipes. Extra-large could throw off the ratio when baking.

HOOVER, Ala. — You can say whatever you want about Auburn's 2010 BCS title being tainted, the NCAA investigation that may or may not still be ongoing, or any number of other accusations that continue to be hurled the Tigers' way.
Gene Chizik isn't hearing you.
The Auburn coach steadfastly defended his program during a barrage of NCAA-related questions during SEC Media Days on Thursday, saying Auburn football is clean, its goals haven't changed simply because more than 20 seniors graduated, he has moved on from last year, and his only concern is making the 2011 team the best it can be.
"The journey from this point and time last year to now has been incredible for us," said Chizik, 49, who played at Clearwater High. "But I want to make this really, really clear because the minute our plane hit the ground in Montgomery on Jan. 11, we had moved on. We have been focused and locked on the 2011 football season."
Auburn begins the post-Cam Newton era on Sept. 3 against Utah. And the Tigers, who host Florida on Oct. 15, don't feel like they are getting the respect due a team that finished 14-0 with a BCS title last season.
"Again, like last year, people are underestimating us and not giving us a chance, so we're not in the spotlight as much," tight end Phillip Lutzinkirchen said. "But that's the way we like it. We'd rather prove everyone wrong than prove everyone right. That gives us a lot more motivation. We definitely have the talent, we just don't have the experience."
"Just how people are perceiving us to be this year, I think we are under the radar," receiver Emory Blake said. "People aren't expecting much from us and we take that to heart. We use that in our workouts and we're working hard."
The main reason preseason prognosticators might be looking past the Tigers is the loss of 18 starters, including Newton — the 2010 Heisman Trophy winner who accounted for a school-record 4,327 total yards last season and 20 touchdowns. Also gone is defensive tackle Nick Fairley, a first-round NFL draft pick, and most of the starting offensive line. Nine players remain from the 2007 and 2008 signing classes, Chizik said.
"We have a very young team," he said. "But make no mistake about it, the standard for Auburn University and the goals for Auburn University, no matter if we are going to play 22 freshmen, have not changed. That is to graduate our players and win championships."
Chizik, who is 22-5 in two seasons at Auburn, deftly handled questions about recent reports that the NCAA has not concluded its investigation into the recruitment of Newton and about an alleged heated conversation between the coach and NCAA vice president of enforcement Julie Roe Lach during the SEC spring meetings in June in Destin. Several SEC coaches spoke on the record about the incident with a reporter and said Chizik was told the NCAA has not concluded its overall investigation.
"I'll make this real clear: The NCAA on more than one occasion has said that Auburn has done nothing wrong in the recruitment of Cam Newton," Chizik said. "Nothing's changed. I can't control everybody's microphone. Can't control everybody's opinion. Don't try to. … I feel great about where we are as a football program. I sleep really good every night that my head hits the pillow. That's what I can control. So I know we're every day doing things the right way. That's what I can put my time and energy into. So that's what I do."

Richard Wood '58, MD, accomplished a lot during his time as a St. Ambrose undergraduate.
And he didn't stop here.

I sit here in my room, less than 12 hours out from toeing the line for my second Ironman. My first one was 10 months ago and that race changed me. I loved it so much that when I finished I was immediately thinking about how I would enter another one. I wanted to do Arizona, St. George and CDA. I wanted to do one every month. I had M-dots behind my lids when I slept at night.
So, here I am, 10 months later, 12 hours out from Ironman #2.
Troy and I were talking about expectations today. We were discussing the difference between expectations, and hopes. I think of expectations as what you rationally know that you can accomplish. Expectations are RATIONAL (at least by your own standards). They are the outcomes that you think will happen if you put in the hard work. Now, hopes, well they are still expectations, but with an edge. Hopes can cross the line over rational, but they make you question where the line is. Hopes are expectations that might possibly need a little magic to make happen. They are the outcomes you are afraid to mutter out loud. In most cases they require some luck, and sometimes, they need a truck full of luck.
Do I have expectations for tomorrow? Yes, I have plenty. I have heart rate zones to hit, I have perceived exertion expectations. I have run paces I would like to see. I have a nutrition plan, I have expectations of my trusty steed and other equipment. I have swim pace goals. Oh yes. We all do. All 2800 of us starting the race have expectations.
Do I have hopes? Yes, friends, I do. I have hopes. I have hopes that may or may not happen. I might meet all of my expectations, and none of my hopes. But you have to have hopes. You have to throw passion, love, respect, and grit at this sport. If it was easy, this race wouldn't sell out in 30 minutes. Some people are "hoping" to finish tomorrow. And I'll be sitting in the stands at 11:30pm watching to see if they do. Some people are hoping to win the race. And if I see them tomorrow, that will mean that they have not.
So, on this night before, I think the only thing I can wish for myself is that I have my expectations and my hopes figured out, that I have the two separated, and that I understand the difference between what I can effect and what is rational, and what I hope will happen.
To all of you that will be out there with me tomorrow, may the chop be small, the wind be still and the aid stations plentiful for you. To those of you watching my twitter feed, or watching Ironman.com, I thank you and I will run/ride/swim a mile or two for you.
Goodnight from Coeur d'Alene

Family history
Family history
There is little doubt that the two Stober families listed in my database are closely connected. It is most probable that the elder ancestor of Stober (1), Johann Jost Stöber could be a brother or at least a cousin of Johann Jacob Stober the elder ancestor of the Stober (2) line. Current research presents much information about the Stober family of Staffort a small town in the Karlsruhe region of the present day German state of Baden-Würrtemberg. Some of this information displays several inconsistencies and as such is questionable. This is probably due to the misinterpretation of Spöck church records that lists many Stober family events.
This Stöber family line has been traced back to my 9th great-grandfather Johann Jost Stöber. Johann was born 1639 at Staffort. Johann married twice during his lifetime and produced many children. His first union was with Anna Catharina Heyd around 1660. He and his wife had at least eight known children between 1661 and 1678. After Anna Catharina died of childbirth in 1678 Johann took a second wife Anna Catharina Maria Zeiter who was almost 20 years young than himself. This marriage resulted in another eight children born between 1680 and 1691. One of them, a son Hans Peter Stöber, through whom our lineage continues. Johann Jost Stöber lived his entire life at Staffort where he died in 1696.
Hans Peter Stöber was born at Staffort in 1683. In 1707 he married Anna Catharina Elisabetha Müller also a native of Staffort. As a result of this union seven children were born between 1709 and 1722. Like his ancestors Hans Peter remained at Staffort until his death in 1759 at the age of 75 years.
Anna Barbara Stöber, daughter of Hans Peter and Anna Stober, is my 7th great-grandmother. Anna was born at Staffort in 1711. At an early age she became the wife of Valentin Kieffer, Sr. a native of the nearby town of Blankenloch. Anna Barbara bore at least 5 known children during this marriage. In 1737 she and Valentin along with four young children left Blankenloch and made the perilous ocean voyage to American aboard the ship Townsend (Bilender). They arrived at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on October 5, 1737. Soon after the family moved west to Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Anna Barbara died in 1773 at the age of 62 years. My family lineage continues through her son Valentine Keiffer, Jr. born in 1734.
Origins of the surname
· Early Immigrants to North America
An Introduction to the Name
The practice of adopting hereditary surnames began in the southern areas of Germany during the second half of the 12th century, and gradually spread northwards during the Middle Ages. With the passing of generations and the movement of families moved from place to place many of the original identifying names were altered into some of the versions that we are familiar with today. Over the centuries, most of our European ancestors accepted their surname as an unchangeable part of their lives. Thus people rarely changed their surname. Variations of most surnames were usually the result of an involuntary act such as when a government official wrote a name phonetically or made an error in transcription.
Research into the record of this Stöber family line indicates that the variations, meanings and history of this surname is most likely linked to that area of Europe where German linguistic traditions are commonly found.
Meaning of the Name
Most modern family names throughout Europe originated from with of the following circumstances: occupation (i.e., Carpenter, Cooper, Brewer, Mason); locational (Middleton, Sidney, or Ireland) or topographical (i.e. Hill, Brook, Forrest, Dale); nicknames (i.e., Moody Freeholder, Wise, Armstrong); status (i.e. Freeman, Bond, Knight); and acquired ornamental names that were simply made up.
The Stöber surname originated from the Middle High German word stöuber for 'hunting dog', thus it is possibly a metonymic occupational name for someone who bred or cared for hunting dogs or a nickname for someone who resembled one. In Northern Germany Stöber may also have become variant of Stöver or Stoever. Stöver originated from the Middle Low German words (bad)stover which referred to a 'bather' or 'worker at a public bathhouse', thus it is an occupational name, but occasionally perhaps a nickname for a dedicated bather. A third meaning of the surname Stöber is that it is a German nickname that originated from Slavic word stobor meaning a 'fighter'.
History of the Name
Following the Crusades in Europe in the 11th 12th and 13th centuries a need was felt for an additional name. The first hereditary surnames on German soil are found in the second half of the 12th century, slightly later than in England and France. However, it was not until the 16th century that they became stabilized. The practice of adopting hereditary surnames began in the southern areas of Germany, and gradually spread northwards during the Middle Ages. The German surname Stöber, and its variant spellings, have traveled widely in many forms throughout Europe. First found in Switzerland, where the name came from humble beginnings but gained a significant reputation for its contribution to the emerging mediaeval society. During the 18th century many of them immigrated to America and settled in the colony of Pennsylvania. The Stöber name does tend to be confused with the English versions, and particularly so in the United States where immigration from both countries was at its height in the 18th century. In any case the name from both countries is often in the same spelling, which is perhaps not surprising as they share similar pre 7th century "Anglo-Saxon" roots.
Early Immigrants to North America
During the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries hundreds of thousands of Europeans made the perilous ocean voyage to North America. For many it was an escape from economic hardship and religious persecution. For most it was an opportunity for to start over, own their own land, and make a better future for their descendents. Immigration records show a number of people bearing the name of Stöber, or one of its variants, as arriving in North America between the 17th and 20th centuries. Some of these immigrants were: Hans Ulrich Stober who arrived at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania as early as 1743; Also arriving at the aforementioned location we Christian Stober in 1750; Andreas Stober in 1752, and Hans Stober in 1750. Ulrich and Valentine Stober are recorded as coming to the Pennsylvania colony in 1749.
Many German surnames were re-spelled in America because of the close relationship between the English and German languages. In some cases Germans are able to transform their names to the English form just by dropping a single letter. After the start of the first World War, Germans in great numbers Anglicized their names in an effort to remove all doubt as to their patriotism.

More About Surname Meanings & Origins
German Surnames
Many German names have their roots in the Germanic middle ages. The process of forming family names began around the year 1100 and extended through 1600. All social classes and demographic strata aided in the development of names. First Names (Rufnamen) identified specific persons. Over time the first name began to be applied to the bearer's whole family. At first through verbal usage, family names (Familiennamen) were later fixed through writing. Until the 17th century, first names played a more important role. The earliest family names derived from the first name of the first bearer (Patronym). Later names derived from the place of dwelling and location of the homestead. If a person of family migrated from one place to another they were identified by the place they came from. Of more recent origin are names derived from the vocation of profession of the first bearer. These names comprise the largest group and the most easily recognizable, for they tell what the first bearer did for a living. Another group are names derived from a physical or other characteristic of the first bearer. Finally, there are names that tell you the state or region a first bearer and his family came from; the age old division in tribes and regions (low German, middle German and upper German) is often reflected in names.
Variations of the surname
Throughout the centuries, surnames in every country have continued to unfold and expand often leading to an overwhelming number of variants. As such one can encounter great variation in the spelling of surnames because in early times, spelling in general and thus the spelling of names was not yet standardized. Later on spellings would change with the branching and movement of families. Spelling variations of this family name include: Stoever, Stover, Stober, Stofer, and many others.
The complexity of researching records is compounded by the fact that in many cases an ancestors surname may also have been misspelled. This is especially true when searching census documents. The Soundex system was developed in an effort to assist with identifying spelling variations for a given surname. Soundex is a method of indexing names in the 1880, 1900, 1910, and 1920 US Census, and can aid genealogists in their research. The Soundex Code for Stober is S316. Other surnames sharing this Soundex Code: STAFFORD | STAUFFER | STIVER | STIVERS | STOBER | STOEVER | STOFER | STOFFER | STOUFFER | STOVER | SUDBURY |

Family coat of arms
The origin of badges and emblems, are traced to the earliest times, although, Heraldry, in fact, cannot be traced later than the 12th century, or at furthest the 11th century. At first armorial bearings were probably like surnames and assumed by each warrior at his free will and pleasure, his object being to distinguish himself from others. It has long been a matter of doubt when bearing Coats of Arms first became hereditary. Heraldry spread to the German burgher class in the 13th century, and even some peasants used arms in the 14th century.
Fig. 1
Fig. 2
Fig. 3
There are no known associated armorial bearings for Stober or its variant spellings recorded in Reitstap's Armorial General* or Sir Bernard Burke's General Armory**. The coats-of-arms shown at the left have been attributed to the Stober or Stover surnames, but they have not been verified by the appropriate sources. If is quite possible that all three may have originated in the British Isles.
No Stober family mottoes are known. It is unusual for a German Achievement to include a motto.
A Coat of Arms is defined as a group of emblems and figures (heraldic bearings) usually arranged on and around a shield and serving as the special insignia of some person, family, or institution. Except for a few cases, there is really no such thing as a standard "coat of arms" for a surname. A coat of arms, more properly called an armorial achievement, armorial bearings or often just arms for short, is a design usually granted only to a single person not to an entire family or to a particular surname. Coats of arms are inheritable property, and they generally descend to male lineal descendents of the original arms grantee. The rules and traditions regarding Coats of Arms vary from country to country. Therefore a Coat of Arms for an English family would differ from that of a German family even when the surname is the same. The art of designing, displaying, describing, and recording arms is called heraldry. The use of coats of arms by countries, states, provinces, towns and villages is called civic heraldry. Some of the more prominent elements incorporated into a coat of arms are :
Crest - The word crest is often mistakenly applied to a coat of arms. The crest was a later development arising from the love of pageantry. Initially the crest consisted of charges painted onto a ridge on top of the helmet.
Wreath or Torse – The torse is a twist of cloth or wreath underneath and part of a crest. Always shown as six twists, the first tincture being the tincture of the field, the second the tincture of the metal, and so on.
Mantling – The mantling is a drapery tied to the helmet above the shield. It forms a backdrop for the shield.
Helm or Helmet - The helmet or helm is situated above the shield and bears the torse and crest. The style of helmet displayed varies according to rank and social status, and these styles developed over time, in step with the development of actual military helmets.
Shield or Arms - The basis of all coats of arms. At their simplest, arms consist of a shield with a plain field on which appears a geometrical shape or object. The items appearing on the shield are known as charges.
Motto - The motto was originally a war cry, but later mottoes often expressed some worthy sentiment. It may appear at the top or bottom of a family coat of arms.

Source documents
The documents and headstones contained within the "Source Documents Archives" have been located during my research of this family, and used as evidence to prove many of the facts contained within the database of this family's record.
Most of these documents can be considered as primary or secondary evidence. Primary evidence is usually defined as the best available to prove the fact in question, usually in an original document or record. Secondary evidence is in essence all that evidence which is inferior in its origin to primary evidence. That does not mean secondary evidence is always in error, but there is a greater chance of error. Examples of this type of evidence would be a copy of an original record, or oral testimony of a record's contents. Published genealogies and family histories are also secondary evidence.
Classifying evidence as either primary or secondary does not tell anything about its accuracy or ultimate value. This is especially true of secondary evidence. Thus it is always a good idea to ask the following questions: (1) How far removed from the original is it, (when it is a copy)?; (2) What was the reason for the creation of the source which contains this evidence?; and (3) Who was responsible for creating this secondary evidence and what interest did they have in its accuracy?

A newly finished internal probe into alleged patient dumping sheds light onto cases of Las Vegas psychiatric patients bused out of state.
The report singled out 10 cases of patients improperly discharged from Rawson-Neal psychiatric hospital, and found that four of those patients were sent to their home states.
The other six were taken to states they weren't from, mainly California. But Nevada Health and Human Services chief Mike Willden tells the Las Vegas Review-Journal ( http://bit.ly/17mXJ4X ) patients were sent to destinations they requested.
The ACLU of Nevada has filed a lawsuit on behalf of ex-patient James Brown, who was discharged to a Greyhound bus and ended up disoriented in Sacramento in February.
ACLU lawyer Allen Lichtenstein argues Brown received improper care and was discharged while he couldn't care for himself.

Jon Gosselin Loves The Ladies
Jon Gosselin is absolutely ridiculous. Seriously. RadarOnline reports that the father of eight is hitting on even more blondes. I guess he's got a blonde things going. Hailey Glassman is pretty much blonde, Kate Majors is blonde, and we all know the original lady, Kate Gosselin is blonde.
He may claim to be single right now, but still man, it's not cool to be chatting up two women outside of your Pennsylvania home. Come on. Remember all the good times you had there with Kate? Now, if you or Kate want to flirt, do it at your new homes, not your old one.
I wonder if Jon chatting with the two mystery blondes is going to be on the newest season of Jon & Kate Plus 8? That would be weird. Or would it be awesome? I can't pick. I'm thinking it would be weird in an awesomely upsetting sort of way. Yes.
