"Love should govern education," says Kelsie Brook, the 2012-13 recipient of the Dennise Maslakowski Graduate Education Scholarship. Brook's philosophy was shared with her father, a former high school math teacher, who's passion for education inspired her career path.
Brook is pursuing a Master of Education in Heritage Studies and wants to gain state certification to teach social studies. She earned a BA in political science at Principia College. Brook was on the Dean's List as an undergrad, and was a student government representative and the women's lacrosse captain. She has maintained a high grade point average in grad school, while coaching lacrosse at PSU and basketball and soccer at Plymouth Regional High School.
A PSU professor, who recommended Brook for the scholarship, described her as "insightful, creative, dedicated and professional." Added her nominator: "She is truly committed to education and to being a transformational leader in education."
Candid in a telephone interview, Brook's enthusiasm for education reached through the wires. "Teacher's are inclined to present solutions," she says. "But I believe that students should be able to solve problems themselves."
Brook is eager to foster that type of environment in the classroom and views her career as an opportunity to inspire students. Her commitment and compassionate approach to education recalls the late Dr. Dennise Maslakowski, the former associate vice president of the College of Graduate Studies, for whom the scholarship Brook received was named. "Kelsie is the kind of energetic and committed individual that Dennise would have appreciated, and that she herself epitomized," says George Tuthill, interim associate vice president of the PSU College of Graduate Studies.
In addition to the Maslakowski Scholarship, the College of Graduate Studies recently awarded a number of other 2012-13 Scholarships. The recipients of the merit-based scholarships were selected based upon their academic and professional achievements and commitment to graduate study, among other factors.

text: Charleston concert to honor memory of 'Elizabeth' By Douglas Imbrogno September 25, 2013 Story Share Douglas Imbrogno A Sunday concert in honor of "Elizabeth" will feature the Charleston Gay Men's Chorale. WANT TO GO?"For Love" Covenant House benefit concertBy the Charleston Gay Men's ChoraleWHEN: 4 p.m. SundayWHERE: Culture Center TheaterCOST: $25INFO: forloveconcert.eventbrite.com or 304-344-8053, ext. 22._____ CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- The Charleston Gay Men's Chorale and Covenant House will present a special "For Love" benefit concert and fundraiser 4 p.m. Sunday at the West Virginia Culture Center Theater in the state Capitol Complex in honor of a well-known street person known locally as "Elizabeth." The concert, which includes a dessert reception afterward, is dedicated to the memory of George L. Bartlett, known as Elizabeth, a longtime Charleston resident whose family Covenant House helped to reunite in 2009. Bartlett died earlier this year at the age of 59 in Tulsa.A June 2-4 series by the Gazette, "Elizabeth & George," told the tale of how as a young musician, George wandered away from his family in his late 20s after adopting the identity of Elizabeth. Elizabeth took up residence on the Charleston streets sometime around the turn of the century and found friends and benefactors here through the years.The family was separated for more than a quarter-century until Elizabeth was reunited at Covenant House with her three sisters and mother. She later returned home to Arkansas and Oklahoma to live out her life with them. "The concert honors the life and memory of Elizabeth, who so many Charlestonians recall," said Covenant House Executive Director Ellen Allen. "It further delights us that her sisters, Sharon, Lisa and Leigh Ann, will be among those in attendance.""We wouldn't miss it for the world," said Elizabeth's youngest sister, Lisa Davis, in a phone interview. "We have been anticipating it for several weeks. We are just over the moon and back with excitement. We're honored to be able to be there and experience this. We're truly touched."The concert, which is also a fundraiser for the chorale, features members performing such classics as "Embraceable You" and "You Can't Hurry Love," along with more recent songs like "Seasons of Love." The concert marks the first time CGMC has teamed with Covenant House for a full performance. A portion of the proceeds from "For Love" will help Covenant House provide nutritional support for persons living with HIV/AIDS and to provide free, rapid HIV testing. Tickets cost $25 and can be purchased online at forloveconcert.eventbrite.com and at the door. Or call 304-344-8053, ext. 22. "Covenant House has been a terrific supporter of the Chorale, and we are thrilled to team up with them for this exciting and important concert celebrating love," said Billy Burdette, CGMC artistic director.The "For Love" theme of the show is a broad one and will be reflected in both song selections and in-between quotes about love, said Burdette."It's not just about the marriage type of love. It could be the love between a child and parent. It could be the love between a brother and sister, the love between friends. It's not limited to the romantic type of love. Its any kind of love we have experienced."The love of Elizabeth's family in seeking and finally reuniting with a long-lost family member certainly falls within that circle.Burdette would encounter Elizabeth while working at Bob Evans in downtown Charleston when in college and she would come in for coffee. "She always had a friendly smile. I truly believe she loved Charleston. She was always so kind and wanted to pay for her coffee and even wanted to tip which I would never let her do any of that."Burdette noted another sort of love as demonstrated by Covenant House, founded more than 30 years ago to help people with the fewest resources meet their basic needs, such as food, clothing and shelter."It was a beautiful thing when Ellen said let's do this for Elizabeth. She was reunited with her family through a loving organization." Reach Douglas Imbrogno at email@example.com or 304-348-3017.

Ryall eyes top-three spot for Sky Blues
Having reignited Sydney FC's A-League season with a dramatic equaliser against Melbourne Victory, unlikely hero Sebastian Ryall is eyeing a top-three finish for the Sky Blues.
The centre-back scored his first A-League goal with a 90th-minute leveller against his former club on Thursday night - his strike coming less than a minute after being brought on as a substitute.
"That was my 80th league game and I've never scored a goal so I'm very happy to finally score, and against my old team," Ryall told AAP on Friday.
"The circumstances made it even more special. It was an important goal for the whole club and the fans, so I'm over the moon to be able to contribute."
Down 2-0 at the break, Sydney fought back to rescue a point and keep them in sixth place, four points in front of fierce rivals the Victory on the ladder.
Having only managed one win in the past eight matches - a 3-2 victory over the last-placed Gold Coast - Sydney have collected only six points from a possible 24.
And with those eight matches also including a demoralising four-game losing streak, Ryall admitted the team's confidence had suffered a few blows this season.
He said the importance of the Victory clash at this point of the season was forefront in the players' minds.
"Getting a result was massive," Ryall said.
"We spoke about it before the game and we knew that this game could be a turning point in our season.
"We obviously wanted to win the game and jump well above Victory and stay in sixth place.
"We all knew it was such an important game so to come back from two goals down shows the great character of the team.
"We've been doing it so often this season and it hasn't been easy at all. We've put ourselves in tough spots but it just shows there's so much fight in the squad."
The crucial point moves Sydney just one win away from reaching third place, currently occupied by trans-Tasman rivals Wellington.
With only eight games left for the Sky Blues before the finals series, time is running out for them to make their way up what is an incredibly-congested ladder.
But Ryall feels a top-three finish and a home elimination final is well within reach.
"It is such a close league, but I think we can finish in the top three," he said.
"We've got such a talented squad and there's a lot of competition for spots this season.
"I don't want to look too far ahead, but I think we're good enough to finish in the top three."

To the editor:
An editorial about the state of education in Minnesota was startling. After years of legislators using budget shifts to rob our schools of needed funds, our state ranks 29th among the 50 states for its graduation rate. Statistics also show we have one of the largest gaps between racial groups for graduation.
At a Burnsville town hall meeting Saturday, Jan. 26, to their credit, state Sen. Jim Carlson, and state Reps. Will Morgan and Sandra Masin pledged to safeguard the state's education budget and work to pass full-day kindergarten legislation, in light of data about the receptivity of young minds. The meeting itself was well-attended, and provided the opportunity for comment by supporters and critics of education. Teachers like me, who are beleaguered by classes of 40 and more students, welcome the promise of the legislators. A letter recently suggested more parents home-school their children. In theory this might give parents more input and control in their children's lives but the number of parents able to live on a single income may be limited to begin with.
Our state's children deserve the best education we can give them, and scrimping on schools is not the way to achieve that goal. Investing in the development of our young people, has them flourish and our economy as well, all at the same time.

Kremchek sounds off
The bad feelings continued Tuesday among Reds officials over Mondays disclosure that relief pitcher Gary Majewski, who has been sent to the disabled list, took a cortisone shot for tendinitis in his shoulder just days before being traded to Cincinnati from the Washington Nationals.
Reds officials are angry that they were not told of the cortisone shot, and the club may file a grievance over the trade.
The Reds medical director, Dr. Tim Kremchek, said on Tuesday that the team would have taken a closer look at Majewskis health before completing the July 13 eight-player deal that sent Austin Kearns and Felipe Lopez to the Nationals.
The 26-year-old Majewski has struggled for the Reds. His ERA with the Reds is 12.54. He gave up 21 hits in 9 1/3 innings.
Kremchek said Majewski was told to keep quiet before the trade.
"The troubling thing about this as much as anything was (Majewski) was told to keep it under the radar," Kremchek said.
"We asked him if he was OK, he said, 'Yeah, I'm all right.'"
Kremchek added that an MRI would not have revealed the tendonitis in Majewskis shoulder, and that the deal likely would have gone through.
"His shoulder looks clean," Kremchek said. "It would have been (Reds general manager Wayne Krivsky's) call, but I imagine we would have made the trade."
Kremchek said he has never given a player from another club a physical before a trade is completed.
"The way it works is the GM talks to the GM," Kremchek said. "If there's any issues, medical talks to medical."
In Majewski's case, Reds trainer Mark Mann talked to the Nationals trainer.
"(The Nationals) didn't allude to anything," Kremchek said.
Kremchek, who is a consultant for the Nationals, said his relationship with that team may end over this incident.
Jim Bowden, the Nationals general manager, did not return a phone call from the Enquirer on Tuesday.
In an e-mail sent to The Washington Post regarding Majewskis placement on the disabled list, Bowden said, "In every trade we make, our medical and training staff are always thorough, complete and give full disclosure on information on any player involved in the transaction as requested by the other club involved in the transaction per major league rules."
Kremchek said he never met Majewski until after the trade.
He said Majewski's medical records did not arrive in Cincinnati until Aug. 1, the day after the trade deadline.
"And even then, they weren't complete," Kremchek said.

Young failed in his attempt to crack into the 1:24s as his best was a 1:25.023. Still, he's just a tick over half a second slower than Hayes.Young will be joined on row two by Team M4 Suzuki's Martin Cardenas and Michael Jordan Motorsports' Ben Bostrom, the man who is pulling double duty this weekend as he earlier qualified the LCR Honda in MotoGP qualifying.Row three will featured Foremost Insurance BMW's Larry Pegram, Holden Racing's Jake Holden and BMR's Geoff May. Steve Rapp rounded out the top 10 qualifiers on his San Diego BMW.With the Virginia International Raceway doubleheader cancelled just last week, only the single Superbike race here at Laguna tomorrow and the doubleheader at New Jersey Motorsports Park remain on the schedule. With his pole point today, Hayes has cut Young's lead back to 10 points, 290-280.Superbike Qualifying1. Josh Hayes (Yamaha) 1:24.4802. Tommy Hayden (Suzuki) 1:24.8243.

LORAIN -- An obscure Medicaid stipulation is holding back the expansion of Lorain County Alcohol and Drug Abuse Service's residential rehabilitation services because it caps the maximum amount of beds available at 16 per facility.
LCADA operates The KEY, a non-medical residential program for women and their children, out of a two story building in Lorain. Despite having space on the second floor to add 16 more beds, Medicaid's Institutions for Mental Disorders Exclusion rule stops the organization from doing so by essentially refusing to provide funding to larger facilities. The site of The KEY is a former nursing home that once housed 100 patients.
"We've got 16 beds for women and their children, but we're only occupying one of the two floors in that building," said Tom Stuber, president of LCADA.
The agency could open a second 16-bed residential program in a separate building, per the IMD Exclusion guidelines, he said.
"I would have to go to another site to house additional women," Stuber said. "I could treat 16 additional women now with only a couple of extra counselors. Women would not have to wait to get into the type of care they need."
The stipulation stops the agency from expanding in a cost effective manner at a time when opiate drug abuse is soaring in the county. The wait list for The KEY program is nearly doubled the current occupancy.
"We have women dropping out because they are not getting care," Stuber said. "There are probably not 10 families in this county who have not been touched by this opiate epidemic.
"It has been called an epidemic, but I call it an avalanche," he said.
Stuber's total wait list for those seeking addiction services from LCADA is more than 150 people. Sixty people died from opiate-related overdoses in 2013, nearly triple the number of overdose deaths in 2012.
The IMD Exclusion, created in the 1960s, was established to squash large residentials for mental health patients, but addiction services falls under the same category, Stuber said.
"They wanted to protect against people being warehoused in large state institutions," he said. "But it doesn't make sense any more."
Ohio's former congresswoman Betty Sutton tried to push for changes to the exclusion rule through a bill that would have increased the allowed beds up to 40, but legislators killed it in a committee.
It is unlikely the Obama administration will push for any changes to the exclusion, said Tereas Ni�o, director of the Office of Public Engagement in the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services for the Obama administration. The administration's stance is for more community-based programs, rather than residentials, Ni�o said.
A federal push for Medicaid expansion in the states, which is currently being debated in Ohio's legislature, could help LCADA open a men's residential facility, which it does not offer currently.
In May, Republican Rep. Barbara Sears, of Toledo, revived a tweaked version of Gov. John Kasich's proposal. Kasich's proposed expansion was pulled from his budget proposal earlier this year.
Sears' bill would expand access to Medicaid to hundreds of thousands of Ohioans and in turn increase funding to addiction services by covering more people.
"The Medicaid expansion is absolutely necessary," Stuber said. "I don't know a treatment provider that doesn't have a wait list."

Indians Behind Every Rock
During Childhood At Old Fort
NICKELSVILLE-A child's overactive imagination made Mrs.J. Carl Bell, Rock Springs Road, see wild Indians behind every bush when she lived in the Old Kilgore Fort House here.
Mrs. Bell, born Mabel Dickerson, recalls that the property on which the fort was built had been in her family for several generations, and in fact her father was born in the old house.
Her grandparents had since built a large white farmhouse nearby, and when she was five her parents and brother and sister moved into the Fort House.
"There really were some Indians living on the bluff near us at that time. My grandfather hired them to work for him occasionally. But the stories I had heard about the Indian raids made me quite afraid of them.
"We children, my brother, my sister and I, would go into the loft of the old building and watch the Indians through the small gun windows, and we were sure they were getting ready to attack the fort at any moment. "She recalls the children slept in the upstairs portion of the old building, and would sometimes get up at night and look out "just to be sure the Indians weren't creeping up on us."
The children looked for and found a number of arrow heads, which they used as toys. Sometimes her brother strung the larger arrow heads on a string and pretended they were fish; sometimes they tried to make arrows from them with small sticks.
"We moved from there when I was about seven, and as far as I know I'm the only person living who ever lived in the old house," Mrs. Bell recalls. "My parents and my brother and sister are all dead now."
"I was so glad to hear the old fort is being restored," said the mother of Coach John Robert Bell. "It still seems like home to me, and I hope I can be there the day they open the building for the public to see." The old fort near here which is presently being restored is the only Indian fort of its era still standing in eastern United States.
It has been placed on the National Register of Historic Sites, and will be open to the public when the restoration is completed.

Court Upholds NJ as Adjacent Coastal State
The US District Court for the District of Columbia ruled that the Maritime Administrator was acting within his authority under the Deepwater Port Act when he designated New Jersey as an additional adjacent coastal state with respect to the application of Atlantic Sea Island Group LLC (ASIG) for a license to construct and operate a liquefied natural gas (LNG) import facility at a site to be located in the Atlantic Ocean approximately 13.5 miles off the coast of New York and 19 miles off the coast of New Jersey. The 45-day timeframe in the statute for such designation was held to be directory rather than mandatory. ASIG v. Connaughton, No. 08-259 (DDC, December 8, 2008).

Farm land prices: A correction maybe, not a bursting bubble
Hembree Brandon
As "bumps in the road" occur in the farm economy, "farm land prices will reflect that," Abbot Myers, chairman of the board of the Mississippi Land Bank, said at the organization's annual meeting.
But, he says, while some analysts are warning of a sharp retreat in land prices, "I don't foresee another farm land bubble like the one that occurred in the 1980s, when there was a total collapse in values.
Each farmer once fed 20 people — today it's 165.

870,000 acres of California almonds all-time record
By Cary Blake
The National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) pegs 2012 California almond acreage at an all-time record of about 870,000 acres.
Last year's estimated acreage is 4 percent higher than the 835,000 acres in 2011.
Of the 2012 acreage, NASS says about 790,000 acres were bearing and about 80,000 acres were non-bearing.
Nonpareil was the leading variety last year, followed by Butte, Carmel, Monterey, and Padre.
Kern, Fresno, Merced, and Stanislaus counties were the state's top almond-producing counties. The four counties represented 63 percent of the total bearing acreage, down slightly from the previous year.

National Alliance Created to Develop Valuation Education
Consistent, Quality Valuation Education to be the Goal
April 26, 2013
Washington, DC — The Appraisal Foundation (TAF) and its Sponsoring Organizations have formed a national education partnership, the Alliance for Valuation Education (AVE), an organization dedicated to providing greater availability of consistent, quality valuation education. The AVE will be composed of TAF and 11 of its Sponsoring Organizations (Alliance Sponsors).
"Having these organizations work in collaboration with one another has been an evolutionary process based on their input and recommendations. It just makes sense," stated Steven Elliott, Chair of TAF's Board of Trustees. "This is an important and long overdue first step in combining our resources for the benefit of the entire valuation profession," he added. Elliott went on to say, "A common complaint heard from states over recent years is the lack of available quality educational offerings. It is our hope that the Alliance will reduce an education provider's cost to develop certain courses, thereby allowing them to focus more on delivering courses in underserved areas."

First Lutheran Church can retire debt
Sitting at a table in the "bride room" of First Lutheran Church in Detroit Lakes, Pastor Dave Peterson said that without the 2001 addition to the church, a meeting in that room wouldn't be possible. While the church has reaped the benefit of having the much needed addition for the last 12 years, it's also put a strain on other improvements the church has needed. Each month, the church pays more than $10,000 for its mortgage. "That inhibited us from doing other things," church member Adrienne Buboltz said. "It was like there was a millstone hanging around our neck," member Ardys Horner added. So the church council decided to hold a capital campaign. In the past, the church had conducted two capital campaigns that came up short on funds. So this time, they decided to enlist a professional group to help with the cause. And the abundant results have been a blessing for the church. Hiring help and finding focus The church enlisted Scott Schoaf of Walsh & Associates, a firm out of the Twin Cities area that specializes in fundraising for churches. With two attempts in the past to organize their own campaigns, they both brought minimal success, Mark Lindquist said. So while the church council decided to hold another campaign to reduce or retire the church's debt, by hiring Walsh & Associates, they found there should be more to the campaign to make it a success. Church member Mike Fillmore said the firm helped decide on a feasible dollar amount to work toward, and they did a lot of background work with the congregation to see what the people would support. It went from paying down debt to a three-point campaign. While the debt was an ongoing concern for the church, there were also other needs that needed to be met as well. Shingles needed to be repaired, for one. "And then just moving our church ahead," member Larry Buboltz said. So rather than focusing on just the debt reduction, the three areas the church settled on were paying down/retiring the debt, making repairs to the building and renovating the sanctuary and enhancing their ministries. "It was to appeal to a wide range of people," church member Madalyn Sukke said. So church volunteers went out and asked people to donate to the capital campaign. But the committee members were the first to step up and donate. "Before we could ask a commitment, we had to make our own," Adrienne Buboltz said. And though there were suggested giving amounts, the committee learned it was better to just ask people to donate the best they could. "It all adds up," church member Sarah Keizer said. "And it's a very effective way" of asking, Fillmore added. Lindquist admitted that when they set a goal of $1 million, he didn't think they would reach it. But not only did they reach their goal, they have almost reached the challenge goal they set of $1.5 million. The church is sitting at about $1.4 million, and Peterson said he's sure they will end up reaching the $1.5 million mark, and possibly some extra. With people asked to pledge over the next three years, the church brought in about $400,000 for this year alone. When the three-year period is over, Peterson said, the debt will be paid off — just in time for the church's 100-year anniversary. Crunching the numbers There is an average of 500 people worshiping at First Lutheran Church on a weekly basis, and there are about 200 kids involved in the Sunday school program. Those numbers add up to a lot of space needs, and a lot of support for the church. When the 2001 ChristFirst addition opened, it carried a roughly $2 million price tag. As of June 2013, the church still owed $833,500. The $10,204 monthly payments were costing $4,000 alone in interest. Though the addition has proven needed and used by the church and the community, it's time for more upgrades. But, like with any upgrades, there comes a price tag. Peterson said that with the looming monthly mortgage payment, the church council wasn't going to put the church in even more debt to make additions to the sanctuary. Each has their passion "It wasn't to buy down debt at all," Sukke said of her reason for taking part in the capital campaign. "For me it was the aspect of being able to do renovations to be functional for today's worship." Her big push, she admits, is for the bell choir to have a permanent space. Now the bell choir has to bring tables in and out with each performance. That will be taken into consideration with the new sanctuary design. "We've really outgrown the space we're in," she said of the church. As a new member of the congregation, Terry Kemmer said he and his wife were impressed with First Lutheran's outreach, whether it is locally, nationally or internationally, and he was happy to raise money to add to its ministries. Now a largely supported charity throughout the area, TeacHaiti was started through First Lutheran Church, as just one example. "I've always been impressed with Detroit Lakes," Larry Buboltz said of the generosity of people. He said retiring the debt of the building was his driving force in the capital campaign. Ministries aren't always local. The church is also sending money to help with relief in the Philippines after the recent typhoon. They have helped in past relief for those involved with Haiti, Hurricane Sandy and tornadoes that ripped through the Midwest this fall. "God gives us lots of things," Horner said of the natural disasters. Addition and new plans When the addition was built over 10 years ago, it created more space for meeting rooms, offices and Sunday school rooms. It also provided space for a special room for those with developmental disabilities. With the added space, Adrienne Buboltz said it has allowed First Lutheran to open its doors to the community and lend its space to others. "It opens it up for many, many things," Larry Buboltz added. "It opens the doors to life in Christ," Peterson said. There have been multiple concerts in the church. The space has been utilized for 4-H meetings, Girl Scouts and Boys Scouts meetings, piano recitals and competitions, weddings, anniversaries and many other celebrations. It provided space for a preschool, a library, handicapped accessible bathrooms, a new youth space, decent nursery space and a more convenient elevator. It also provided for a better outdoor worship area during the summer. Five actions While the mission of the church may be "Opening doors to Christ," that can mean something different to each congregant that walks through those doors. "We recognize everything we have comes through the Lord," Sukke said. "We've got a story to tell, and with open doors, we can tell it," Peterson said. He said that there are five points the church stresses: radical hospitality, passionate worship, intentional faith development, risk-taking mission and service and extravagant generosity. "We open our doors by practicing those five," he said. "Not just hospitality, but radical hospitality." A few times a year, the church encourages its members to give $101 outside of the church. That's a part of the extravagant generosity the church practices, Peterson said. "As a new member, I can validate those five practices," Kemmer said. And they are still practicing, Peterson added. With the 100-year anniversary coming in 2017, the church is looking to not only celebrate the first 100 years, but also to prepare for the next 100. "We really need to be done and ready to begin," Peterson said, in preparation for the 100-year anniversary. Follow Pippi Mayfield on Twitter at @PippiMayfield.

Design of a strategic planning management information system
Information systems that are to support strategic planning must be developed on bases that reflect the unique nature of strategic organizational decisions. This paper presents a systems design methodology which implements five basic criteria for the design of a strategic planning Management Information System (MIS). The methodology uses discriminant analyses of the perceived importance to managers of various categories of strategic information to delineate the most significant information requirements of various managerial groups. These results are augmented with similar analyses based on the personal characteristics of the potential system users in order to implement a design criterion related to the integrated nature of a planning MIS and a 'teaching' objective which is posited to be valid and feasible for such a system.

My daughter is 11 months old, and we decided we would wait til she is one to start any vaccinations. We are only a month away, and I don't know how to start now. The delayed vax schedule doesn't really seem to fit what I want, but I don't really know how to space the vax. Any recommendations or resources?
I would start with, at the very least the DTaP and the MMR.
What diseases do you think she has a realistic chance of getting at her age, and which of those do you think are more dangerous at her age than the vaccine? If you don't know the answers to those questions, here are some resources for research.
CDC Pink Book
vaccine package inserts
VAERS database
CDC's catch up schedule
You can consult this along with the package inserts to see the minimum spacing between doses. The CDC's schedule is often more aggressive with the spacing than the package inserts.
Thanks! I'm don't really think she is at risk for much since she stays at home with me. She isn't exposed to a lot of other children, but I know there is always risk involved. My husband wants her vaccinated, but has agreed to wait until a year. I am more reserved since I wasn't vaccinated until I was six years old. Tough decisions!!
If she isn't at risk because she stays home, why not delay them a little longer til her immune system is more mature? Does your husband have sound reasoning for wanting her vaxed at a year old? Or is it more fear-mongering and media hype getting to him?

Sounds like your husband should be reading the links I provided, then, since he is the one who wants to start vaccinating.
Here's the schedule we came up with for my 11 mo. old. This way, she'll be fully vaxed in time for kindergarten without getting more than two shots at a time.
9 mos: DTaP
12 mos: DTaP, PC
15 mos: MMR, Hib
18 mos: DTaP, PC
2: Hep B, IPV
3: Hep B, IPV
4: MMR, DTaP
5: Hep B, IPV
The pneumococcal and Hib aren't required for school (at 5+) but I decided to do them anyway. Pertussis is my biggest concern, which is why we started with the DTaP.
We started our son with DTAP at 12 months. That was his first vaccine. Our pediatrician recommends DTaP, pneumoccocal and HIB, as he feels that those vaccines cover the diseases our children are mostly likely to get (aside from flu and varicella, but we'd already decided to skip those). He's 19 months old, and he's had two doses of DTaP so far. He was a little under the weather at his 18 month visit so we didn't vax at all then. DH is of the opinion that we should definitely get the pneumoccocal and HIB vaccines, but my sister and I have both had pneumonia, I've had encephalitis, and she's had meningitis, so while I admit that these can be serious diseases, I'm not terrified of them either.
Thanks. My daughter's appointment is this Friday, and I think we have decided on doing the DTap first. She isn't at risk for much right now, but I will have to go back to work eventually, so she will have to go to some sort of care.
California's personal belief exemption applies to childcare as well. Just sign the back of the "blue card."
So her needing to have childcare in the future should not be a factor in your vaccination decision.
I meant that she will be exposed to much more germs. That is why I am considering some vaccinations. Right now she is very low risk because she is at home.

PHILADELPHIA (Jun. 28)
More than 1,000 members of the American Labor Zionist movement have immigrated to Israel since 1948 when the state was established, it was reported here today at the 29th national convention of the Labor Zionist Organization of America. Another report noted that 1,000 members of the Habonim youth movement were presently attending Labor Zionist camps in this country and Canada.
Dr. Herman Seidel of Baltimore and Ralph Wexler of Newark were today named a two-man presidium to lead the organization until the next convention in 1956. The organization decided earlier not to fill the presidency, vacated by Rabbi James G. Heller, at this convention. Dr. Seidel was named head of the 51-member central committee, while Mr. Wexler will be chairman of the 15-member administrative committee.
The convention adopted resolutions calling for ratification of the Genocide Convention and abolition of the McCarran-Walter Immigration Act and commended the U.S. Supreme Court's recent anti-segregation decision.
A demand that the United Nations approach the Middle East problem "with a greater degree of vision and courage" was contained in another resolution. The resolution asked UN condemnation of Egypt for its blockade of Israel traffic through the Suez Canal, of Jordan for repeated violations of the truce and of the Arab states for their boycott of Israel. The Labor Zionists also called upon the United States Government to reconsider its decision to send arms to Iraq.

text: I've noticed that when I press the side button to turn off the screen, there is a delay where the screen slightly dims but remains on for a second before it goes off. I don't think it used to do this prior to a system update I installed about two weeks ago. Is there a setting I need to change to stop this and make the screen go off immediately instead of having this lag/delay? Thanks.

The night shift
Lori Schloeder Gress
Not everyone works a nine to five job. Some business are open 24/7 and some services are also necessary to maintain 24 hours a day and seven days a week. Police officers and paramedics are two professions that require staffing at all times. A couple of young men from Wadena recently hit the airwaves for their work on the night shift. Both Chris and Brent are terrific examples of guys that have made Wadena proud.
Christopher Neu, son of Gary and Muriel Neu, graduated from WDC in 2002. In those days, he was only called Christopher by his mother…everyone else called him Neu – now pronounced Neweeee. Neu was an above average student, loved to play in the band and was well liked by literally everyone – good guy. He participated in lots of Immanuel Lutheran Church activities as well. Neu went on to NDSU to study zoology/chemistry and to play in the coveted Gold Star Marching Band. He then continued his education to become a paramedic with Bismarck State/FM Ambulance in 2007. He has been employed as a paramedic with FM Ambulance since that time.
Brent Malone, son of Dick and Jane Malone, graduated from WDC in 2006. Malone was an above average student as well – played sports: football, basketball and track. He played trumpet in the band too. He loved to paintball, hunt, fish and about anything else outdoors. He was the youngest of the Malone kids, so had lots of nieces and nephews that watched him throughout his highschool years. Malone went on to NDSU for criminal justice with accounting, psychology and fraud examination. He backtracked to Alex Tech for skills training for law enforcement. He was hired by the Fargo Police Department in July of 2012 and was a 2012 Lifesaving Recipient. Malone is also a crime scene investigator, bike officer and crisis intervention team member for the Fargo Police Department.
Malone made unwanted news earlier this year for arresting a shoplifter in an adult book store. However, this time, he was responding to a tip of a suspect who had allegedly injured a 20-year old male with a knife and fists the night before. The victim in that assault was transported to Sanford Medical Center with non-life threatening injuries.
Malone and his partner had received a tip that the suspect, Jack Christensen, 49, was at a laundromat in north Fargo on Monday, Nov. 4. When officers (including Malone) started to approach his van parked in a dark parking lot, Christensen put the vehicle into gear and accelerated at a high rate striking Malone, according to Fargo Lt. Joel Vettel. Malone was taken by ambulance to Sanford Health where he was treated for injuries to his left arm and wrist.
These two young men from Wadena have caught a glimpse of each other in passing over the past couple years, but they haven't ever connected more than brief conversations. It just so happens that the paramedic responding to the call of an officer in need of medical assistance was Neu. According to Malone, he was face down in the dirt and he heard a familiar voice and was relieved to know it would be Neu taking care of him. It is the same relief Neu would have if Malone was watching out for him at a scene as well. We take care of our own and more.
It is the same relief that I have living in the Fargo-Moorhead area that both Neu and Malone are keeping a watch out for all of us during the night shift, and even sometimes during the day shift. It is a story worth sharing about the good things that men from Wadena have done with their lives and how proud we are that they call Wadena home.
Malone's fellow officers did get their man; officers arrested Christensen at an apartment in the 1300 block of Eighth Avenue North about 4 a.m. Tuesday. Police had located Christensen there about two hours earlier, and Christensen surrendered following a standoff resolved through negotiations. Vettel said police believe Christensen was the driver of a van that struck Officer Malone in the parking lot of Busy Bubbles laundry, 2102 12th St. N., about 8 p.m. Monday. Christensen has a number of convictions in Cass County District Court extending back to the early 1990s, including convictions for robbery; simple assault; unauthorized use of a vehicle; terrorizing; and harassment.

Thanks to the Consumer Protection Act (CPA), South Africans are among the most protected consumers in the world.
That's wonderful – in theory.
Of course, for legislation to have any real meaning, for it to give consumers a better deal in practice, it has to be effectively enforced.
In other words, if a company chooses to disregard the provisions of the act, the consumer should be able to complain to a body set up to enforce the act – and know that there will be consequences for that company should they be found to be in breach.
The National Consumer Commission is that body, but I'm afraid, as many people have discovered since last April when the CPA became effective, it is simply not up to the task.
In many cases, consumer e-mails are ignored, calls put on hold indefinitely, faxes allegedly lost – in short, many complaints aren't being taken up at all.
Just making contact with the body can be a challenge, as I alluded to in last week's column.
I should say that many "suppliers", to use CPA terminology, have chosen to comply with the act with regard to the return of defective goods by issuing refunds and replacements at their customers' request, when they would have insisted on repairing the goods in the past.
But many are continuing to trade on their own terms, as if the CPA does not exist.
For example, in the Chinese malls which have sprung up in metro areas, most of the traders appear to be contravening one or more CPA provisions with impunity.
I've received quite a few complaints from readers about stores in Chinese malls not issuing receipts unless they were asked, and refusing to accept returns or give refunds.
A quick CPA refresher: consumers don't have the right to return non-defective goods. But if an item breaks, or becomes unfit for purpose, within six months of purchase you can return it for your choice of refund, replacement or repair.
But that didn't happen in Alvin Moodley's case. He bought a R350 bicycle for his son from Top Shoes in Durban China City.
When he wasn't given a receipt, he asked for one, and was given a handwritten one, which states "no returns, no refunds, no guarantee".
Two days later, the chain came off the bike, so Moodley put it back, but it came off the next time the bike was ridden. That's when he took it back to Top Shoes, where an employee suggested that he could fix the bike if Moodley bought a part. Naturally, Moodley refused.
"I said we consumers in South Africa have the protection of the Consumer Protection Act, in terms of which he is obliged to refund me for the defective bike," he said. "But he said it didn't work that way in China City."
Another man, who asked not to be named, bought two formal shirts – labelled as 100 percent cotton – from a retailer at China City, washing them both before wearing them.
While one washed and ironed perfectly, the other developed stubborn creases which proved to be totally resistant to a hot iron.
So he took it back to the shop and asked for a replacement, which he was given. But when he had the same problem with that shirt, he took it back and asked for a refund. The shopkeeper steadfastly refused to do so, saying he wasn't prepared to take a loss on the shirt.
A stand-off developed and the store owner then asked the centre's security guards to escort him out of the building.
"We've got this amazing Consumer Protection Act, but it seems some retailers are just blatantly disregarding it," he said.
Security guards were also summoned to intimidate Marina Robertson when she demanded her CPA rights at a shop in China Town, Milnerton, a few weeks ago.
"I had bought a handbag from the shop, and within a month, the lining had started to come away, so I took it back.
"The woman in the shop quizzed me about what I had done to the bag, and I pointed out that I had used it as one used a handbag," she said.
"She refused to either replace it or refund my money, despite my pointing out the law regarding defective goods sold in this country. She then made a cellphone call, whereupon two security guards appeared and started to shout at me.
"I left the shop without the problem being resolved."
When she complained to the centre's management, she was told that they had nothing to do with the business practices of the tenants.
"I finally had the bag repaired and have vowed never to purchase anything from a Chinese shop again – most don't issue receipts and do not conform to the laws of trade in this country."
To get first-hand experience of these trading practices, I recently visited two Chinese malls – China Mall Durban, in the old Wheel shopping centre building, and Durban China City in Springfield Park.
I bought an R18 pair of earphones from a shop called Easy Go, and when I asked for a receipt, I was given one with the following words on it: "No return, no refound [sic]."
At another shop I bought a bag, and was given a receipt which doesn't reveal the name of the shop and had no mention of VAT. At a third shop, The God of Wealth Store, I was given a professional-looking receipt for my R37 purchases, with each item listed and priced.
At Durban China City, I bought a R50 scarf, and when no receipt was handed over, I asked for one, and got a handwritten one with no information on it other than the date and the price. Essentially, a useless piece of paper, as it doesn't record what I bought from where.
I did get a receipt from Trumper Trading, but only when I asked for it.
I bought a selection of smallish items – not listed on the receipt – for R64. At the bottom of the receipt are the words "No exchange, no refund, no guarantee" and – my personal favourite – "no service".
In one of China City's passages hangs a red banner declaring: "Be Honest, Keep the Promise." Well, there's an honest promise – no service. It's not legal, but they're getting away with it, anyway.
I approached two men in Top Shoes, the store where Moodley bought that bike. A notice above the paypoint declared: "No exchanges, no refunds."
Having listened to my summary of what the CPA says on the return of defective goods, one told me: "All the stores here, no refunds."
I raised the issue with then-national consumer commissioner Mamodupi Mohlala-Mulaudzi. She confirmed that signs which stated a blanket "no guarantee, no refund and no exchange" were misleading, as suppliers only had the right to apply that policy in cases in which goods were returned by customers because they were unwanted, rather than defective.
She also confirmed that the CPA required suppliers to issue receipts as proof of payment, and warned suppliers that ignorance of SA law was not a defence. Sadly, there was not a word in her response about what the commission intended to do about the apparent widespread flouting of the CPA in these malls.
So, two weeks ago, armed with more feedback from readers around the country about CPA transgressions by Chinese traders, I went back to the commission for a fresh response. "In more than one case, security guards were called when customers stood their ground and demanded their right of return in terms of the CPA," I said.
"Clearly this is an untenable situation… I would appreciate a statement from the NCC about what, if any, action the commission intends to take in the interests of protecting consumers by enforcing the CPA."
Despite sending several reminder e-mails, I have not had that response.
Clearly, we are on our own.
If you shop in places which offer bargain prices but don't issue receipts, except on request, and don't take responsibility for defective goods, know that there's a good chance you won't get a warm reception – much less a refund or replacement – if something you've bought breaks within six months.
If that's a risk you're not willing to take, avoid.
l I reported to Sars spokesman Adrian Lackay that many Chinese retailers appeared not to be charging VAT. Lackay said the VAT Act was clear: if a business had a turnover of more than R1 million a year, it must register as a VAT vendor. He urged consumers to report "suspicious activities" among retailers to Sars's Fraud and Anti-Corruption Hotline at 080 000 2870.

BUDAPEST (Jan. 27)
Arrival here of Ernst Wilhelm Bohle, German Foreign Office secretary and chief of Nazi organizations abroad, was signalized by the launching of a strong anti-Semitic campaign. Motorcycles raced through the city streets, distributing anti-Jewish pamphlets. Similar pamphlets were distributed in motion picture houses and theatres. Three persons were arrested.

Peace on Earth, can it be?
When David Bowie posed that musical question to Bing Crosby 33 years ago, a generation of young TV viewers watching in amazement asked another question: Did that really just happen?
Was the Thin White Duke actually singing a heartfelt duet with the White Christmas dude?
Those who saw Crosby's 1977 holiday special — or MTV's frequent airings of the video clip — still remember how unusual that moment seemed. The premise is that guest star Bowie is stopping by the English manor where Crosby is staying. They share some corny dialogue — " 'ello, you the new butler?" the rock star asks with perfect timing — before discussing yuletide traditions. Then they launch into the majestic Little Drummer Boy, with Bowie quickly segueing into the sweet, soaring counterpoint of Peace on Earth.
To understand the impact of this musical detente, you would have to imagine Lady Gaga singing with Andy Williams for a 2010 special — which actually doesn't sound that outlandish anymore.
These days, there are plenty of successful culture clashes, like Tony Bennett's duets with Sting and Bono. But back then, Bowie's avant-garde rock style — his Heroes video was featured on the same special — was considered as far from Crosby's mainstream crooning as Pluto is from the sun. Having them perform together was a landmark instance of pop-culture worlds colliding.
And it worked. In the years that followed, the weirdly beautiful moment — which aired not long after Crosby's death — became the stuff of legend, fondly remembered and, eventually, lovingly parodied by several very funny people.
Recently, two parody versions from comedy all-stars debuted on the Web. In a takeoff that appears on CollegeHumor.com, Jason Segel and Jack Black sing the duet with nice sincerity as themselves, except they're animated characters who gather at a rustic log piano and float briefly through a sunlit sky.
In the other, done for FunnyorDie.com, Will Ferrell is Bowie and John C. Reilly is Crosby in an elaborate, virtual word-for-word re-creation of the original. It's almost exactly like the real thing, from the clothing and set to the goofy script.
"You're the one that sings, right?" Ferrell asks, just as Bowie did. "Well, right or wrong, I sing either way," says Reilly, relishing the pun.
The Bowie-Crosby summit wasn't as big as the Beatles appearing on The Ed Sullivan Show, but maybe it was a turning point of sorts. These days, celebrities from different genres frequently bridge the generation gap. Betty White gives Jon Hamm dance lessons in an Emmy skit. John McCain and Snooki are Twitter pals.
And they have Bowie and Crosby to thank, in a small way. Right or wrong, their duet is still making people jolly during the holidays.

— At this time, the WWE Studios film Oculus has a 71% on Rotten Tomatoes. The film has received mixed reviews; some comments from those reviews are below…
Reviewer Adam Nayman from Globe and Mail: "A deeply silly and mildly effective horror movie about two young-adult siblings coping with the mysterious deaths of their parents."
Reviewer James Berardinelli from ReelViews: "For a horror movie, Oculus is surprisingly lean on the scares. It's more interested in playing tricks with perception and bending reality."
Reviewer Stephen Whitty from Newark Star-Ledger: "It's just a vague, a little familiar, a little fake."
Reviewer Tom Long: "Oculus is haunting because it messes with your head. That's where the ghosts are."

Sam Claflin: I'm no hunk
Sam Claflin feels very uncomfortable with being cast as a romantic lead.
The 28-year-old has won fans the world over as Finnick Odair in The Hunger Games franchise and can also be seen as Lily Collins' love interest in romantic flick Love, Rosie.
While he gets hearts beating with his onscreen performances, Sam can't get his head around the fact that women are lusting after him.
"I find it very uncomfortable, if I'm honest," he admitted to German magazine Jolie when asked what he makes of his sex-symbol status.
"Because I don't see myself that way at all. When I first got the script for The Hunger Games, I thought, 'Why is it me they want to cast as Finnick Odair?' I knew I was capable of playing him, but I found it hard to sell myself that way. Because I just can't understand why anyone should find me sexy."
In general, things could have been very different for The Riot Club star. Rather than appearing on the big screen, he always imagined he'd be getting muddy on a soccer pitch for a living.
"When I was 16 I injured myself badly and had to sit out of soccer," he recalled.
"In that time, I realised a few things. I was very small at the time; all my friends were bigger and more muscly than me. I just wasn't strong enough or talented enough to keep up. So, with a heavy heart, I had to say goodbye to that dream."

Former "Girls Next Door" star Crystal Harris took to Twitter earlier this week to show off massive engagement ring number two from her fiancé, Hugh Hefner. This officially confirms that the pair have plans to tie the knot … again. Wowza, that sparkler is huge! The Playboy Playmate wrote, "My beautiful engagement ring from Hugh Hefner," along with a montage of shots of the rock from pretty much every angle. Well, hopefully the second time is a charm for this runaway bunny. The two were previously engaged but Harris got cold feet and called off the wedding back in 2011. Plus, the Spice Girls looked absolutely fabulous at the London premiere of "Viva Forever," a stage show inspired by the songs of the popular '90s band, and Dakota Johnson stole the spotlight from her dad, Don Johnson, at the NYC screening of "Django Unchained" on Tuesday.
