The number of suicides committed in Ashtabula County last year decreased by 50 percent compared to 2011, but the county's rate of roughly 15 per 100,000 remains high.
Miriam Walton, executive director of the Ashtabula County Mental Health and Recovery Board, said 15 persons took their own lives in 2012, compared to 23 in 2011.
The 2011 spike in suicides drove several initiatives to address the crisis, including a gatekeeper seminar for clergy and formation of a LOSS team, a group of volunteers who provide support to the family immediately after notification by the coroner. The team began offering the service in September and has responded to at least two cases.
"The team has been working the way it was supposed to," Walton said. "The coroner's office called and the team was able to get there relatively quickly. They supported the family and left information and phone numbers. So far, all of the families have followed up (on the information). It's worked out very nicely."
One of the reasons for forming a LOSS team is that a risk factor for suicide is having a family member who died that way. By providing the family with information and resources, the county's Suicide Prevention Coalition hopes to address that element while involving surviving family members as volunteers on the teams.
The coalition encompasses representatives from mental health services, health departments and substance abuse and social services agencies. Walton said the coalition goes after small foundation grants that can be used for education and prevention programs.
One of those programs, Kognito, is an online training resource for educators and support staff. During March and April, the coalition is encouraging competition between A-Tech and the county's seven high schools to get the largest number of staff trained on Cognito. Grant money will be used to purchase the prizes and gift cards offered as incentives for the top three schools.
"We would love 100 percent participation," Walton said. That's not an unrealistic goal because under Ohio House Bill 543, school staff must receive at least one hour of training in suicide prevention, as well as one hour each in several other mental-health related topics.
"The high school principals that we have talked to are all very supportive of this," Walton said. "The schools have always been good to work with."
Walton said the coalition also plans to have a gatekeeper session for the general public by early summer. The group also wants to use a $1,000 grant it received to do a gate keeper program for veterans at risk for suicide.
"Veterans may say that they don't have a problem, but they are always looking out for their buddies," she said. The grant would provide training for those who have contact with veterans.
As to why the 15 persons who died at their own hands were driven to that point, Walton said it is usually a combination of events topped off by the loss of a fundamental relationship.
"The final incident is usually relationship driven," she said. A person may weather the loss of a job without considering suicide, if foreclosure and divorce eventually result from that job loss, the divorce can be the "last piece of it" that tips the scales of his life into hopelessness.
Walton said suicide remains a means of death that is dominated by males; in 2012, 12 of the 15 suicides were male.
Walton said the 2012 statistics reveal a disturbing trend among women who attempt to kill themselves — they are turning to firearms, a means typically employed by men. Last year, a gun was involved in each one of the three female suicides.
"It used to be women used a drug overdose or cutting," she said. "That has changed; women are starting to use more lethal means."

Nine more people have been arrested as part of the investigation into the naming on Twitter of the victim in Sheffield United striker Ched Evans's rape case.
Five men and four women, all from north Wales, were arrested and are in custody for questioning at St Asaph police station, North Wales Police said.
It brings the total number of arrests to 12 after three men were arrested in South Yorkshire last week and later released on bail.
Sheffield United striker Evans was jailed for five years on April 20 for raping a 19-year-old woman in a hotel room.
He denied the allegation and plans to appeal against the verdict.

Recording Academy President and CEO Neil Portnow called Bob Marley's music "songs of faith, devotion and revolution." He stated the evening was poignant for him, because of several reasons.
Regarding one of them, Portnow commented that returning to the site of the film school was emotional for him, as it used to be the location of the now defunct RCA Records, where he had once worked as a producer for the label.
Portnow also noted that during his tenure in A&R at EMI, Ziggy was among the artists on the roster of artists there.
While he did not mention it, the building was also the home of the RCA studio, where artists including the Jefferson Airplane laid down historic rock albums.
In another example of its iconic history, Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards recorded a version of reggae artist Jimmy Cliff's "The Harder They Come" there.
Portnow expressed great respect and admiration for the Marley family, who have been dedicated to preserving the late reggae singer's memory, while also achieving other accomplishments.
At a reception held prior to the screening of the film Marley, an elaborate reception table was filled with red, yellow and green cookies, the colors of the Rastafarian flag. Many of the cookies were decorated with lyrics from Marley's songs.
Marley Coffee, grown in Jamaica, was also served.
Ending the evening, a question and answer session was held, in which Los Angeles Recording Academy Chapter President MC Lyte briefly queried Karen and Ziggy.
Ziggy said he decided to make the film a reality when "a friend in the music business" suggested the idea. "I wanted it to tell the real story," said Ziggy.
Marley was diagnosed with skin cancer in one of his toes in 1977, and died in 1981 after his melanoma had metasthesized.
Ziggy also made a point of saying that his father's marijuana use was for spiritual reasons, commenting, "It's mystical, it's magical," and "There was a lot of herb smoking." He added, "It was a spiritual thing, a godly purpose. When you play that music, it was was very spiritual."
The film focuses on the immense international impact that Marley's music has had. It also documents details of his personal life and recording career, and includes several live performances.
Among her questions, Lyte asked Karen about her clothing line.
Many of those who have seen the film Marley predict that the feature film documentary will receive a nomination in the category of Best Long Form Music Video for the 55th Annual Grammy Awards, slated for February 10, 2013 at Staples Center in Los Angeles.
Ziggy and Island Records founder Chris Blackwell served as the film's Executive Producers. The critically-acclaimed movie was directed by Academy Award-winning Kevin MacDonald.
Steve Bing of Shangri-La Entertainment and Charles Steel produced "Marley." Bing has produced films including the Rolling Stones/Martin Scorsese concert "Shine A Light."

Tribute paid to Keighley man Noel Kitchen
5:00am Wednesday 8th January 2014 in News
Champion vegetable grower Noel Kitchen died on Boxing Day, his 65th birthday.

In Topic: Programing an applet game of Pong
Posted 10 Aug 2012
macosxnerd101, on 09 August 2012 - 09:07 AM, said:This is probably a yellow warning, rather than a red error. Some IDEs (note that Eclipse is NOT a compiler) complain about the serialVersionUID. You can add one as prompted or have your IDE ignore it.
Thanks for the information. Adding in the serialVersionUID seemed to resolve the problem.

Posted 9 Aug 2012The applet only loading a blank white page seems to be a reocurrance with using Eclipse as the compiler. If there are any suggestions as to why this might be occurring please let us new programmers know.
Something that occurs with me is that under pongMain.java I have:

Any suggestions?

Covering the intersection of tech and investing.
The stock market is on a tear this morning, after Congress and President Obama finally reached a deal to avert the dreaded fiscal cliff.
The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite is showing especially impressive gains, up more than 2.5% in early trade. And not without reason.
ISI Group technology analyst Bill Whyman points out in a brief research note this morning that as part of the broader budget deal, "the tech sector especially benefits" from several provisions, including renewal of the R&D tax credit and accelerated depreciation of capital expenses.
"We believe the major impact will be improved business confidence, leading to greater willingness of business to invest their record cash hordes," he writes. "Both these measures also improve cash flow, and on the margin have a positive impact on spending.
Here are the specific provisions that should boost the tech sector:

Students - Professional Student Organizations
Professional Student Organizations
One of the outstanding strengths of The Department is the collective quality of our students. As a department with seven degree programs at three different levels, covering a wide range of disciplines within education and the helping professions, we recruit and attract a widely diverse group of students. It is the diversity of personal characteristics, race, age, gender, geographical origin, level of physical ability and disability, and culture that collectively provides a rich and healthy learning community.
Several student organizations serve to enhance the instructional programs of the department at each degree level and in each program area.
- The University of Georgia Student Personnel Association (UGASPA)
- A professional honorary society for counseling students, Chi Sigma Iota
- Counseling Psychology Student Association
The University of Georgia Student Personnel Association (UGASPA) is a student-led organization which serves as a social and educational group for students, staff, and faculty in the Master's and Doctoral programs in Student Affairs Administration. This group helps facilitate the CSAA orientation program which is designed to assist with the adjustment process for new students entering the program, and contributes to other special programs as well. Throughout the year additional social and educational events (such as brown bag lunches with speakers from the student affairs professional staff) are promoted, sponsored, and coordinated by UGASPA.
A professional honorary society for counseling students, Chi Sigma Iota, provides a collegial home for Community Counseling students and other programs' students as well. Regular social events, community projects and special training seminars are scheduled by the student officers.
Doctoral students in the counseling psychology program meet weekly in their Counseling Psychology Student Association as a regular part of the program. Meetings provide opportunities for students to learn from special consultants and speakers who add to the instructional program through professional development seminars.
The University of Georgia School Counseling Association (UGASCA) promotes the professional and personal development of all school counseling graduate students. Leadership is provided by faculty, staff, and community resource persons in the form of workshops, guest speakers, and social and cultural events. The organization also provides a mentorship program which aides with the transition of new students into the program.

Going to the best when it countsBy
There's a reason why Grant Balfour, Dan Wheeler and J.P. Howell aren't starting pitchers, and there are reasons why the three of them aren't top-notch closers. Sometimes, it pays to remember that.
For the last few days, sportswriters and baseball analysts have been tossing out the same old excuses. The Rays, they say, were thrilled to win two out of three in Boston. They were happy to return to the cozy confines of the Trop with a three games to two lead over the defending World Series Champion Red Sox. I wonder if they're still so pleased.
On Friday, I discussed my belief that Joe Maddon should have turned to James Shields to close out Boston on Thursday. Had the move backfired, Shields would have gotten some work on a throw day. Had it succeeded, we wouldn't be whiling the hours away until game seven. It is in this decision that good managers show their mettle and bad managers emerge.
I know people will long argue that Balfour had stellar numbers against lefties, that Dan Wheeler didn't throw enough strikes. I know people will say that the series isn't over yet, and it's not. But it shouldn't be here.
In the playoffs, managers have to take chances, and they have to recognize that sometimes what works during the regular season isn't the best option. They have to realize that, when facing the opportunity to put away a resilient opponent, the best choice isn't your bullpen but your number one starter for two innings.
Maybe Tampa will score four runs early against Jon Lester tonight and coast to a victory. Maybe Boston explodes against Matt Garza and a shell-shocked Rays team that had a World Series berth in its grasp. But the truth is that Tampa just shouldn't be here. They had the Sox down and out and made a few strategic mistakes that could haunt them for a long time.

I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned this, but, I hear that the Rays have a left-handed pitcher by the name of David Price, or something like that, who is pretty good.
Note to Joe Maddon, give him a shot.
Could you imagine if the media in Tampa was like it is in New York? Maddon would have been fired after game 5 in their eyes.
Price not pitching is like not pitching Joba.
I could care less who actually wins this, but damn, I hate to see teams who deserve to win, give games away like that.
Teflon Torre wasn't fired in 2003, or 2004. Of course, that may have something to do with his FOUR RINGZ.
Deserve to win? You could argue boston deserved game 2 but mismanaged it.
The team that wins deserves it. Blown call? Your logic works. Otherwise, nonsense.
Yeah, that's the funny part.
With all the roasting of Maddon, I haven't seen one thing about Francona sticking with Wakefield in game 4, and game the Red Sox HAD TO WIN, instead of bringing Dice-K or their long man in immidiately.
He's managed Wakefield now for his entire time in Boston, and should know by now that when Wakefield starts off a game poorly, he never recovers. That was not a game Boston could decide to throw away, yet they did it anyway.
I've read nothing about that poor decision……and it cost the Red Sox the series. And I don't care how many championships Francona's won. A bad move is a bad move.
"Note to Joe Maddon, give him a shot."
When you take over a team that has been a doormat for 10 years, then pull a 31 game turnaround within two seasons en route to a trip to the World Series, then Joe Maddon may consider taking your notes.
"Could you imagine if the media in Tampa was like it is in New York? Maddon would have been fired after game 5 in their eyes."
That's because the NY media is comprised of a bunch of idiots. The NY media is a very big reason why NY sports teams haven't won nearly as many championships as they could have over the past 30 or so years!
There are great players out there, championship winning players, who have "no trade" clauses to New York in their contract, just because they don't want to deal with these jerks. And there are a TON of them…….you just don't know who they are until the Yankees come calling.
It used to be different, because the NY teams were the only ones who would dole out the big loot. But those days are over now. Any sports team can set you up for life now!
So Maddon would have been roasted here? Congratulations. And that's exactly why managers lose their teams here. The players are constantly reading their managers getting second guessed.
Just because Tampa didn't win doesn't validate your argument either Ben. The Rays needed Shields for thier next game vs the Red Sox or Phillies. Also, it doesn't follow that all starting pitchers, even good ones are necessarily effective in relief.
I prefer a manager that works with what got him there rather than one who puts people in unfamiliar situations. Balfour, Wheeler and Howell have been a strength for the Rays all season.
Ben has never considered, although I brought it to his attention last week, that bringing in James Shields for relief in a series that you lead 3-1 in totally undermines a bullpen that has been absolutely terrific for you this entire season. If your back is to the wall, that's different. But why would you risk alienating a young bullpen that needs all the confidence they can get to win a WS???
And I don't want to hear this crap about how in the playoffs, managers should do things different, and recognize their best options are their starters in the bullpen, and blah, blah, blah.
Recognizing it is one thing. Actually demonstrating this this belief in a series you are way up in is quite another. There is a human element to managing, whether people want to believe it or not. And when it s a team full of young kids, this comes into play even moreso.
The point is, unless your back is to the wall, it is not worth the risk.
Go easy on Mike Timlin, he has had a pretty decent career. Besides, he was all set to call it a career at the end of 2007 until the Red Sox asked him for one more season. This isn't an example of a player hanging on too long because he is unable to give it up. With so many younger pitchers, the Red Sox wanted him around.
He may have come to the end of his MLB road, but Mike Timlin is a solid, no bullshit, give you all he's got kind of guy.

While attention has focused on school reform bills moving through Michigan's lame duck legislature, Farmington Public Schools Supt. Susan Zurvalec says other proposed legislation could have a serious impact on the district:
HB 6022, 6024, 6025 - Eliminating personal property tax
"The tax is really not a good tax," Zurvalec said, but school officials want to see full replacement of the revenue generated by taxing business furnishings and equipment. The current proposal would replace 80 percent.
Zurvalec said the loss of that revenue would force the district to raise its millages for bonded debt payments. The owner of a home with a $100,000 taxable value would end up paying an additional $22 a year. "Our local residents are really footing the bill for this personal property tax reduction for businesses," she said.
HB 5776 - Parental consent for ineffective teachers
Under new teacher tenure laws, beginning in 2015-2016, districts will have to notify parents if their students are being placed in a class with a teacher rated ineffective in his or her most recent year-end evaluation. Zurvalec said this "ridiculous" bill requires the district to also obtain parental consent to place the child in the class.
Farmington Schools teachers rated ineffective, she said, are either fired or may submit a resignation if they are probationary. To dismiss an ineffective-rated tenured teacher, the district is required by law to file charges for termination, she said.
SB 770-773 - School Bond Loan Fund
Farmington Schools has never used this fund to guarantee its voter-approved bonds, Zurvalec said, but some districts need it. These bills would limit the amount of money dedicated in the loan fund, so that no school district could borrow money from it for the next 40 years, Zurvalec said.
SB 620 - Parent Trigger
Allowing parents to petition to take over a school that has performed in the bottom 5 percent for three consecutive years raises concerns for Zurvalec and others in education, because it doesn't provide for "due process" for taking over taxpayer-owned property. "We're very concerned about this bill," she said. "There's nothing in it that would improve or reform the instruction students would receive."
Zurvalec said the bill is "model legislation" created by the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), a non-profit organization that proposes legislation based on the ideals of "free-market enterprise, limited government, and federalism at the state level", according to the ALEC website.
HB 6005, SB 1358 - Educational Achievement Authority (EAA)
Zurvalec and other Michigan administrators have been outspoken in their opposition to proposals that would create a state-wide school district whose leadership would report to the Governor. The original version of the bill would allow the EAA to create schools that could effectively discriminate against students, Zurvalec said, and required school districts to keep empty buildings "school ready" for four years and, if asked, turn them over to charter schools.
Negotiations continue, and Zurvalec said there may be an agreement to limit the EAA to just the state's lowest achieving schools. An EAA is already in place for Detroit's 15 lowest achieving schools.
Look for Part 2 of this report on the local impact of bills in the lame duck session on our site later today.

(Editor's note: The Mount Hope Jubilee Committee submitted the following press release regarding the Jubilee's parade marshals.)
The Mount Hope Jubilee Committee wishes to recognize Norville and Juanita Ellison, prominent citizens of Mount Hope, as the Grand Marshals for the 2012 Mount Hope Jubilee.
Mr. Ellison was born in 1922 in Ballengee, Summers County. During his childhood, he remembers with fond memories working to help with his grandparents' farm. He graduated in 1940 from Oak Hill High School.
He attended Beckley College for one year, then joined the United States Air Force. The Air Force sent him to Texas A&M to be trained as a professional instructor. He was discharged from the Air Force in 1941.
He worked for the New River Company three different times, for a total of 35 years of service. When he retired, he was the Director of Purchasing.
Mr. Ellison and his wife moved to Mount Hope in 1954 and have lived in their present home on Madison Street for 38 years. They have been married for 61 years, and live happily together with their beloved beagle, Gypsy.
He is the oldest living member of the Mount Hope Lions Club, and has served in almost every office at one time or another. He is a past president of the Mount Hope Lions Club, served as District Governor, 29N, then was Chairman of Council of Governor for District 29.
Mr. Ellison stated he joined the Lions Club in Japan. He traveled to several places, and his wife, Juanita, traveled with him.
He is proud to have had 36 years' perfect attendance with the Lions Club. He received the 100% District Governor's Award, and has been awarded lifetime membership in the Lions International.
The Lions Club recently honored Mr. Ellison with a 90th birthday party at the Lions Club.
He also served two terms on the Mount Hope City Council and served on the Fayette County Zoning Commission.
Mr. Ellison states he is very humbled by our selection of him as the Grand Marshal, and by other recognitions he has received in his lifetime. Our committee feels he is very deserving of this honor.

- Write down your questions before you go.
It's impossible to remember everything, so take notes. Bring a list of your questions and jot down the answers. Your questions let your doctor know what's important to you and what you do and don't understand.
- Describe your symptoms.
Specifically when it started, how often it occurs and how long it lasts. Finally, describe what you are feeling. You can rate your pain on a scale of 1 – 10 or simple use words such as, "sharp," "burning," "stabbing," or "dull."
- Volunteer any related health history.
If you had a similar injury years ago, mention this. Additionally, disclose all your medications – prescribed and over the counter.
- Explain how your injury effects you.
It may feel uncomfortable for you to discuss anything other than the physical symptoms, but it's important for you to also tell you doctor if your injury makes you anxious, depressed or angry. These emotions can be treated as well. Also this will help your doctor have a complete picture of you as a person, not just a 'runner' or skier' when you see one another
- Bring someone with you.
It can be hard to remember everything during you appointment and having someone with you to listen, take notes or ask additional questions can be not only comforting, but useful.
- Tell you doctor if you don't understand.
Have them repeat information, slow down, use different words and define their term. If you don't understand what is being said, you will not get much out of the appointment. Let them know if you are confused.
- Ask about warning signs and limitations.
Ask your doctor what to watch for as a sign you are getting better or worse. And ask if there are specific activities or movements you should not do. Make sure you ask how long you should limit your activity and when and how to return to sports.
- Ask for a treatment plan.
You should leave the office understanding exactly what to expect in the coming weeks. You should also feel confident in your ability to follow the treatment plan outlined, and if you don't you need to discuss this. You should also understand what you should (or should not) do, if you will receive follow-up treatment or other referrals, what sort of progress you should make, what to do if that doesn't occur, and when you can return to regular activities. All these are opportunities to understand your illness or injury.
- Take responsibility for your health
It's important to remember that you are your own best caretaker. You can make a real difference in your health by accepting responsibility for your outcome. Read, research, ask questions and become an informed patient.

Hollie Slade, Forbes Staff
I cover entrepreneurship and venture business.
When the NSA surveillance news broke last year it sent shockwaves through CERN, the particle physics laboratory in Switzerland. Andy Yen, a PhD student, took to the Young at CERN Facebook group with a simple message: "I am very concerned about the privacy issue, and I was wondering what I could do about it."
There was a massive response, and of the 40 or so active in the discussion, six started meeting at CERN's Restaurant Number 1, pooling their deep knowledge of computing and physics to found ProtonMail, a gmail-like email system which uses end-to-end encryption, making it impossible for outside parties to monitor.
Encrypted emails have actually been around since the 1980s, but they are extremely difficult to use. When Edward Snowden asked a reporter to use an end-to-end encrypted email to share details of the NSA surveillance program the reporter couldn't get the system to work, says Yen.
"We encrypt the data on the browser before it comes to the server," he explains. "By the time the data comes to the server it's already encrypted, so if someone comes to us and says we'd like to read the emails of this person, all we can say is we have the encrypted data but we're sorry we don't have the encryption key and we can't give you the encryption key."
"We've basically separated the message that's encrypted apart from the key – all the encryption takes place on your computer instead of our servers, so there's no way for us to see the original message."
This is different from all other systems, says Yen. While Gmail has implemented some encryption, they still have the encrypted message and the key to decrypt the message.
While half the team is now at MIT, some are still in Switzerland where the ProtonMail's servers are housed for extra protection. "One of the key things we want to do is control our servers and make sure all the servers are in Switzerland which will increase privacy because Switzerland doesn't do things like seize servers or tape conversations," says Yen. This will help avoid a situation where the U.S government could forcibly shut them down, says Yen, similar to what happened to Lavabit last year.
Yen has turned down venture capital firms looking to invest in ProtonMail. "The reason we have to be bootstrapped is because if we take our money from something like Google Google Ventures, there goes our credibility. By being in this market we have to fund ourselves," he says, adding that they're considering a crowdfunding round next month.
ProtonMail's revenue model is similar to something like Dropbox – charging only for extra storage.
"One of our motivations was human rights," says Yen. "Having privacy is very important from a freedom of speech standpoint."
The paid accounts will be $5/month and will provide 1GB of storage. Yen says they will accept bitcoin or even cash payments to allow users to remain anonymous.
They recently ran an update so they could support Chinese. Yen says they didn't advertise this but through Twitter Twitter a blogger who has been involved in the freedom of speech movement heard about the service.
"All of a sudden we had an influx of hundreds of Chinese users – these are dissidents that don't want the government to be tracking them," says Yen. "It's because we want to support users like this that we want to keep a certain level of the service free."
Yen expects they'll see the most traction in countries like China, Syria, Russia and Iran, where "you have these massive populations who cannot send an email without fear that they're going to get arrested."
I have a pet peeve about headlines that suggest there's anything the NSA can't access. There's always a way.
I imagine this e-mail system is just a user-friendly web-based e-mail that uses PGP and/or public key cryptography. PGP and public key cryptography are very secure. At least when I used it in 2001-2007 or so, it's just not very user-friendly. I've only seen it adopted among the tech paranoid. If I were Snowden, I would use PGP for all my e-mail communications.
Reference: Bachelor in CS, barely passed my upper division secure communication (aka cryptography) class, heh.
The following is assuming this new system is using PGP and/or public key cryptography. Also, this is assuming the e-mail recipient can secure their private key (i.e. outside of US government confiscation, private key is on an encrypted hard drive, etc…).
With that said, I think the biggest vulnerability is IF there is an exploit in the AES encryption standard itself that the NSA knows that we don't. Pre-Snowden, the NSA certified AES to be used for US Government classified information and everyone thought this was a great thing. Post-Snowden, this has raised some concern that the NSA has been contributing to the development of encryption standards. The AES encryption standard is open source and has been studied (i.e. Cal Poly Pomona's CS 460) for over ten years by the public (i.e. universities, infosec experts, mathematicians, etc…) so I think it's still secure……. *crosses fingers* Personally, if I was Snowden, I would still bet that the NSA does not have an AES exploit and cannot brute force decrypt AES cypher text in a reasonable amount of time. It's much easier for the NSA to tap unencrypted traffic feeds and dump it into a Hadoop cluster (aka just a lot of money and work) than it is to find cryptography exploits (aka trying to defy the laws of mathematics).
The biggest vulnerability is thinking the site you're accessing is really the one you're accessing. If the NSA or anyone else wants to side-track your computer's data stream to their own version of Gmail, or ProtonMail before passing it on to the real site they can do that. If they want to modify or distribute your messages during that process they can do that. If they want to log your keystrokes, turn on your mic or your webcam while you're working out what to put in your email they can do that.
It's great that you're working out a more encrypted email system that will help to make their spying harder, but the best solution is always going to be helping to create a world where we're not looking over our shoulders, and bringing political pressure on those who would have it otherwise.
I assume for everything I do on my computer there is someone watching everything I say, do or type. Sometimes I cc: my emails to the FiveEyes agencies just to wind them up (and to save spying tax dollars at the same time).
Being able to laugh at the paranoia and insecurity of these agencies is a fun, healthy, and energising way to start that dismantling process.
Hi everybody, I am one of the ProtonMail developers, I just want to point out that we have written about our Threat Model here, the article details some potential ways an adversary could attack ProtonMail: https://protonmail.ch/blog/protonmail-threat-model/
As everybody knows, there is no such thing as a 100% secure system, but what we are trying to do is provide a sufficiently high level of security so that mass surveillance as currently carried out by the NSA and other intelligence agencies, is not practical.
The biggest vulnerability are the people providing the service which are easy targets for U.S government.
Here is a possible attack scenario:
1. Some agency may invoke 'terrorism' or national security and ask them collaborate and to include a backdoor in their client or simply to capture and share the encryption keys.
2. If they don't comply, the whole MIT team is suddenly on the wrong part of the law and under US jurisdiction.
What could happen:
From Ladar Levinson's message: "I would _strongly_ recommend against anyone trusting their private data to a company with physical ties to the United States."
The MIT team is the core of the product and is located in the US which I would say constitutes strong physical ties to US.
Here is a similar story from the past.
Forbes article about Silent Circle : http://www.forbes.com/sites/parmyolson/2013/07/15/corporate-customers-flock-to-anti-snooping-app-silent-circle/
And after less than a month:
I agree PGP is currently what should be industry standard when we want top notch security.
But in the event the government just breaks into your home all crazy gung-ho like, looking for that laptop you used… they get the system and they get you – they get the encryption key… its over.
How to keep that key secure is my biggest concern…
If they want to decrypt AES encrypted data that they can pin-point belongs to you – depending on how bad they want it – they will jerk the private key from you… by any means deemed necesary… and decrypt it… with your help.
It is… after all… for your own good!
Its a hideous thing that we have fallen to this level where we now assume we're being watched at all times. Doesn't the Constitution mean anything anymore?
If we have thrown away our civil liberties, why are we being protected? We've already become one of the other countries we pity.

Yesterday in Hampton Terrace, . Postmaster Michael Figlia says that these were for 27 addresses within the neighborhood. Hundreds more homes had their mail delayed as the truck and its contents became part of a police investigation.
Residents whose mail was delayed should have received it today, according to Figlia. He says the USPS will be mailing out letters this week to the 27 homes providing help and guidance.
Today, your identity can be stolen from countless websites and phone apps if their security measures aren't up to par and regularly maintained. Email remains one of the most popular methods amongst thieves, according to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). However, these two thieves appear to have taken it "old school" and gone after paper.
Figlia speculated that they were after checks and new credit cards. Most financial institutions, he said, are only printing partial account numbers these days to limit the usefulness of stealing these documents.
According to the FTC's annual Consumer Sentinal Network report, Florida ranked number one in identity theft complaints for 2009 and 2010, and came in at number two for 2011 (this year's report is not yet available.)

- Articles > Preparing for your exams
Exams test your knowledge and understanding of a particular subject. They are not meant to harass you. Keep this in mind all through.
Prepare Well in Advance
Preparations for exams need to start at the beginning of the academic session. Start by taking notes of classroom lectures and keep revising once in a while.
Explore the subject using library and Internet resources. This will enhance the understanding of the subject. Keep adding to the notes as you explore the subject. Prepare reference maps and diagrams.
Making a timetable and sticking to it is a must. Assign time to everything you do - study time, sleeping time free time hobby hours. Make relaxing in-between your study schedules a habit. It is a good stress buster.
As Exams Near
By this time, you have good understanding of the subject. You have learnt quite a bit. Now start revising and stop learning. Last minute learning might confuse you. Concentrate on what you know.
Set up a revision timetable. Don't forget to keep time for relaxing and sleeping. Use your reference notes maps and diagrams to revise. Highlight main points while doing so. This will help you in final revision.
Take time out for some light exercise, a stroll, do yoga, breathe in fresh air or listen to music. It is necessary to take your eyes away from books for a while. Sleep well and eat healthy.
A day Before the Exam
You by now know that you have learned most of the subject. You have prepared it well. You have the notes ready. So, what's there to panic? Just believe in yourself and keep cool.
Here's the last day checklist:
- Revise thoroughly, don't learn
- Go through previous exam papers
- Prepare your exam resources like gathering pens, ID card
- Confirm time and venue
- Identify transportations and enquire about other necessary arrangements
- Take enough sleep you need to relax when you write the exam
- Take breaks to stretch, take a stroll in open air. Breathe in fresh air
Just Before the Exam
Stop, last minute cramming and going through the notes won't help one bit but only enhance your stress. You have prepared well. You have done the best you could have done. Now just close your eyes and stretch plug in some music if you can and wait till you enter the exam hall.
Believe in yourself. You are all prepared for the exam .

James Marzilli, the former state senator from Arlington who pleaded guilty last year to lewdly harassing four women on the streets of Lowell in 2008, is facing new accusations, but he will not be charged, according to a Fox 25 News report this evening.
Roughly three weeks ago, on Friday, Oct. 26, Marzilli allegedly stood in the doorway of his Watertown home, wearing only a dress shirt, and watched a female neighbor do yard work, according to the report. After about 10 minutes, the woman called police when Marzilli touched his bare thigh, Fox reports.
Marzilli told police that he was wearing shorts at the time of the incident, but the neighbor disputed this claim, according to the report.
Watertown police told Fox that Marzilli will not be charged but that the state's Probation Department has been notified.
Marzilli from the state Retirement Board.
In his career, Marzilli was also a member of the state House of Representatives and Arlington government.

Daily Item
---- — The future of the Shikellamy High School bowling program seems to be in good hands as several up-and-coming bowlers took center stage Saturday when Strike Zone Lanes held its annual youth tournament.
The top 10 averages from the four age groups -- bantams (ages 6-8), preps (9-11), juniors (12-14), majors (15-18) -- competed to see who is the best young kegler the lanes has to offer.
Bowlers rolled a five-game scratch series based on total pins.
The boys title was claimed by Noah Thomas, 16, by just seven pins over classmate Randy Ripple, 1094-1087, after the former ended his day with a 246 game compared to a 206 for Ripple.
Thomas' other games were 202-174-206-266-256, while Ripple's were 243-193-244-201-206.
The third through fifth finishes went to Brant Houghton (1066), Jake Kratzer (1026) and Rusty Lauver (955).
Houghton, 19, has already ended his high school career for the Braves. However, in addition to Thomas and Ripple, Kratzer is 16 and Lauver is 15.
The girls competition was won by 13-year-old Hope Heller-Herman with an 882 total (171-180-178-205-148). Becka Klock, 15, came in a close second with an 880 total (150-174-225-160-171).
If the results from those two bowlers don't prompt you to think to the future of Shikellamy bowling, than the following three definitely will.
The youngest finisher on the day, 13-year-old Kristen Derr, the daughter of Strike Zone's Mark Derr and Denise Derr, was third with an 865 total (148-162-208-167-180). She was followed by 15-year-old Beth Roush (792) and 16-year-old Shealyn Oto (785).
"We have a very young and talented group of girls coming up that could be very special to watch in the upcoming years," said Mark Derr, who is also an assistant coach for the Shikellamy program. "The boys group has been exciting recently with the accomplishments that they've had."
Kristen Derr is already being compared to her older sister, Shelby, who was arguably one of the best high school bowlers to come out of the area.
"Kristen's game is really starting to come together, and she has been flirting with a 600 series and she has been throwing some 200 games recently," said Mark Derr. "She has much more natural ability at her young age than Shelby did, but Shelby overcame that by working hard to elevate her game much quicker than expected at that age."
While Shelby Derr is now making a name for herself at Saint Francis University, Kristen is working hard to get where her big sis is.
"I don't know how much of Shelby's success has mattered to Kristen, but she does hear the comparisons to her sister quite often and she is just as competitive as Shelby," said Mark Derr. "Hopefully Kristen will use any of those things as motivation to reach her goals. I think Shelby is rooting for her sister just as much as Kristen cheers her on during her competitions.
"It has been extremely fun to watch the two girls in their journey, and watching both of my daughters excel in this sport like they have is a joy for both Denise and myself."
DERR RECEIVES NEC HONORS: Following her performance in Saint Francis' first-ever appearance in last month's Northeast Conference Tournament, freshman Shelby Derr was named to both the NEC All-Tournament Team and All-Rookie Team.
The rookie right-hander posted a team-best 19.35 frame average over the 40 frames she bowled during the tournament. And in those 40 frames, only six went unfilled during the two-day event.
Following a 4-2 win over rival Kutztown, Saint Francis advanced to the NEC finals only to fall to Adelphi, 4-0.
"Shelby got stronger as the weekend progressed," Red Flash coach Tom Falbo was quoted as saying. "She found a great look on the outside part of the lane. Her A-game is playing inside, but I've seen her throw tremendous sets playing outside of the 7 board, and her confidence should be bolstered by her solid performance."
Joining Derr, a two-time NEC Rookie of the Week, on the all-tournament team were Kutztown's Rebecca Velazquez and Lauren Stamm, the latter a freshman who appeared in the previous two PA State High School finals for Governor Mifflin prior to joining the Golden Bears.
ROLL-OFFS WON AND TO BE WON: Best Bowl's Tuesday Men's Late League championship was decided in a roll-off as the Meiserville Boys claimed the title. Team members and their high scores from the finals are Timmy Walls (184, 494), Bubba Aungst (200, 502), Kyle Witmer (202, 513) and Brent Womer (225, 617).
In the Thursday Night Men's Early League, C.S.S.I won the final third and the team will have a roll-off this week against Maneval Excavating, the Beatles and Country Tavern to decide the overall league championship.
Until next time, stay out of the gutters.

I am doing a story in tomorrow's York Daily Record on the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints' famous mission.
I will post a link here as soon as it's up on our website. I chose this story for a couple reasons.I was initially attracted to the idea after reading a story over the summer on what Mormon missionaries go through. Several things caught my attention, namely, how grueling the schedule is and how surprising few converts result from a typical two-year mission.
I interviewed two local men who did missions 10 and 15 years ago. One said he was involved in about 30 converts to the LDS church, while the other told me he witnessed nine people who converted.
In a sense, the mission is more about converting the missionary — to a lifetime commitment to the LDS church. Think about it — if you end up spending 12 hours a day, six days a week studying the faith, preaching it to others and praying in your downtime, you are probably not going to leave that church.
In that regard, the Mormon mission is an brilliant concept. As I note in the story, the LDS church has a much lower rate of defections among adult members than other mainline Protestant denominations. I think the mission commitment is a big reason why. About 58,000 Mormons are out on missions around the world at any given time.
The LDS church certainly recognizes the brilliance behind the mission. And it surely realized that, since only 11 percent of missionaries are female, a great opportunity was unrealized.
And here's the second reason I did the story. The church recently lowered the age for missions. Young men can now go on full-time missions at age 18 (down from 19) and young women can go at 19 (down from 21). Since the announcement last month, the LDS church has seen applications skyrocket from an average of 700 a week to 4,000 a week.
"Slightly more than half of the applicants are women," LDS Church spokesman Scott Trotter said Monday in a news release.
And then there's this: a researcher claims the Mormon church is on track to become the largest church body in the world within 100 years.
What is your view of the Mormon church as its most famous member, Mitt Romney, completes his campaign for president?

Forced into Adoption
When Ethiopia-born Tarikuwa Lemma and her young sisters came to America, they and their widowed father were under the impression that they would be participating in an educational exchange program. They would soon learn that they had fallen victim to an international adoption scandal, in which they were adopted by U.S. couples against their will.

Park activated, Nova sent downBy
Via Bryan Hoch, the Yankees have activated Chan Ho Park from the 15-day DL after he battled a bum hamstring for the last month. Ivan Nova has been sent to Triple-A Scranton to make room on the roster. Getting CHoP back is big right now, given the unreliably of the middle relievers beyond Joba Chamberlain and Mariano Rivera (yesterday notwithstanding). Furthermore, David Robertson and Joba respectively threw 30 and 23 high stress pitches yesterday, so they might not even be available tonight. Park might get thrown right into the fire.

Nooo, not Nova! I'm sure there's a less valuable bullpen piece that could have been sent down.
But it's good to have CHoP back.
I'm sure there's a less valuable bullpen piece that could have been sent down.
I suspect that is a major reason Nova got sent down. He has value and thus, should go to the minor leagues to hone his craft, so could become better piece in the future. Sending down another in place of Nova, could place Nova's development and large long-term potential in jeopardy for the sake of small short-term gains.
Nova getting dozens of innings in the Scranton rotation >>>>>>>>>>>> Nova getting an inning a week (maybe) in the big league bullpen
…Wow. I think I got used to the Yankees calling up starting prospects as bullpen pieces that I subconsciously thought Nova was only a bullpen guy. I have shamed myself. Time to commit seppuku.
harry carey here…..
"I'm sure there's a less valuable bullpen piece that could have been sent down."
Come on, man… call him by his name – Boone.
How long is the Boone Logan experiment going to last? Having two lefties for the sake of having two lefties doesn't make sense.
It is not "for the sake of having two lefties." Boone Logan should be on this team, considering the alternatives.
Ivan Nova's demotion was explained above by Thomas and Eric, and the same applies to Romulo Sanchez.
Mark Melancon would not get regular work in the current construction of the bullpen, nor should he. As for as non-Rivera relievers go, Melancon should not be pitching high-leverage innings before any of the non-long-man relievers in the bullpen.
Logan has been successful in his truly brief career in the majors versus southpaw batters, and is a better option than Jonathan Albaladejo.
Unless you want an 11-man pitching staff, Boone Logan does represent the best option for a sixth one-inning reliever.
I agree about having Logan here. Although he has control problems at times he has the abilty to blow people away. Plus his control is much better then Mike Dunn's because atleast Logan hits the strike zone.
As far Melancon goes, I would rather have him up here then Park. Even though Melancon is inexperience he is still a much better option then Park. Melancon no only can blow people away but he also has movement on his fastball. I would rather have a young reliever with little experience and 94 mph fastball with sink on it than an old reliever who throws an 88-91 mph fastball that is straight as anything.
I have said this from the beginning and will continue to say that Chan Ho Park should have never been given a contract with the guarantee of a roster spot. If anything, Cashman should have only offered him a minor league contract with an invite to compete for a spot in the bullpen out of spring training. I guarantee Park will put up an over 6.00 era after returning and be released by mid-july. This is a signing that Cashman will regret the most.
I'm sure there's a less valuable bullpen piece that could have been sent down.
Hmm…let me think…you mean like a left-hander with an xFIP of 5.12, a BB/9 of 6.48, and off whom left-handers are hitting .300/.500/.500?
Nope, sorry, I can't think of anyone.
(But, yeah, I agree with others that it makes more sense for Nova to keep starting than waste away as the long man in the BP.)
There is also the question of how to best develop Nova. I don't think there's much benefit in having him as the last man in the pen in the majors. Let him pitch regularly in AAA.
Yep that would be better. I completely forgot he was a starting prospect with the starter to bullpen thing that we're seeing recently.
Back to my question from last night:
Nova going back to Scranton (plus Tim Redding's addition) gives them 14 pitchers for a 12 man staff:
Nova, McAllister, Hirsh, Sanchez, Redding, Moseley, Igawa, Melancon, Albaladejo, Ring, Sanit, Whelan, Schmidt, Segovia.
Which 2 of those pitchers get bumped off the active roster, and would it be to Trenton or to the Phantom DL? And who gets the last spot in the rotation: Redding, Moseley, or Igawa?
(I don't know why I care about this, but I do.)
i mean, why did they sign redding when they dont even seeem to have a spot for him?
is brett tomko still around? or jason jones?
Didn't Schmidt get sent down already?
He did? I must have missed it. Didn't he just get called up? He was pwning the Eastern League.
I thought he got called up and was sent back down a day later. I could be wrong though.
I guess he's still on the team according to Scranton web page. I fail again. 2 weeks in a row. I'm slumping horribly.
Don't be so hard on yourself, buddy. You're busy trying to bring Melvin to America.
(hands Andy a tasty Pinstripe Tampa Light Lime™)
Thanks for the changeup. Those DFA IPA are hell on the liver, and they make your pee turn flourescent purple.
We put extra bitters in them. For punishment.
I'd assume Sanit and Segovia get sent down/DL'ed/released, since they both have played poorly, are older, and likely have no future with the Yankees whether in the in the short or long term.
I'd guess the final starter spot goes to Redding, who likely had that worked into his contract and is probably the best of the three right now and in the future (Moseley's upside is about Redding).
It would definitely be nice to resolve the Igawa situation. Unfortunately, what little trade value he had seems to have completely disappeared – or maybe it never existed in the first place.
I'm not really sure why he just doesn't get released – perhaps Cash thinks he can get something of value for him, because he doesn't figure to impact the big league team at all.
It would definitely be nice to resolve the Igawa situation.
You mean, "take care of him"?
Only The Wolf can resolve this situation.
there was some article a few weeks ago that said that if the Yankees traded Igawa, they'd actually have to pay him MORE money. I'll try to find it…
This is a random thought, but has anyone noticed the strength of schedule of the Rays (0.477, 29th of 30 teams) vs that of the Yankees 0.509 and Red Sawx 0.529.
I think that combined with the lack of Yankee home games and we are in for a market correction… assuming some players (Swish, Granderson, Jorge, CHoP, Pettite get/stay healthy)
P.S. did anyone else notice that last night Tex was called out of 2 "strikes" 3-4 inches inside off the plate
I agree with what you said in the second paragraph – but all 3 paragraphs probably should've been in the off topic thread.
there's an OT thread:
Also, I agree. I don't see what "market correction" we're in for because we've already got a great record, when the Yankees usually get off to slow starts. We're doing quite well through the rough part of our schedule, with fewer home games than most other teams, with injuries to some important players. When Grandy comes back and we move on to the easier part of the schedule, with more games at home, we rampage. Not that we haven't done that already.
Both Mo and Rauch hit the corners of the strike zone yesterday, but Rauch got calls that Mariano didn't. These things are
terribly annoying and shouldn't happen, but they do. #robotumps
The strength of schedule #'s are a bit skewed because the Sox play us and we're awesome. They bring down our #'s because they suck.
Robertson should have been sent out. He's been lousy the whole season. Let his straighten himself out in AAA. Try Nova as another long relief guy or bring out an outfielder with some pop. Bottom of order right now is brutal. Also, Pena can't hit. Let him play everyday in AAA and let Russo be the backup infielder. At least he has some pop.
I would still rather have Pena as he is a lot better fielder than Russo.Defense is just as important as offense and the Yankees have enough offense even if pena has to play.

Galveston Schools Aim to Reopen in October
Fewer than half the students enrolled before Hurricane Ike are expected to return.
A resident views damage from Hurricane Ike after returning to Galveston, Texas.
Galveston resident Patrick Delaney is equal parts devastated and frustrated. Hurricane Ike's storm surge flooded his home with 9 feet of water, and like many of his neighbors' homes, Delaney's is now uninhabitable. Though this Texas native's to-do list includes such mammoth tasks as finding temporary housing, rebuilding his home, and navigating federal bureaucracy in hopes of receiving disaster relief aid, Delaney said his No. 1 priority is getting his three daughters re-enrolled in school. "My wife and I have looked at trying to keep them in school in Texas, but it's too damn expensive to pay your mortgage and pay a few thousand dollars a month to rent a house in the area," said Delaney, 47. "We don't have a house in Texas anymore, and until we do there is no point in thinking about going back or trying to re-enroll my girls in their old schools." Superintendent Lynne Cleveland says she hopes to reopen the Galveston Independent School District on October 6 but expects fewer than half of the 8,000 students enrolled before Ike hit to return on that day, with 10,000 to 20,000 Galveston residents having lost their homes in the storm. As families like the Delaneys start getting their homes back, enrollment will increase slightly throughout the year, but Cleveland does not anticipate matching pre-storm enrollment numbers this school year.
Cleveland echoes Delaney's frustrations and speaks of how difficult it is for families and teachers to find temporary housing within reasonable driving distance of the island and simply how difficult it is to live there right now. Eighty-five percent of the teachers Cleveland's office has spoken with reported they would be able to return to work once the schools reopen, but many students will not have that opportunity. Large piles of debris, swarms of flies and mosquitoes, and displaced rattlesnakes all threaten residents' ability to bring their children back to even visit their old homes.
"Children I spoke with personally who were evacuated to San Antonio wanted to know, 'Is my school OK? When can I come back to my school?,'" she says. "Many children have never left the island before now and they want to come home, but I'm encouraging parents currently living elsewhere to enroll their students in those temporary locations as soon as possible. That stability and regular school schedule will prove beneficial for the children."
Four Galveston public school campuses sustained significant water damage and will not reopen for three to four months, Cleveland says, but each of the town's 11 public school structures stood up to Ike remarkably well. No campuses were completely demolished. She adds that her plan to reopen one elementary, one middle, one magnet middle, and one high school is contingent upon Galveston's electricity, water, sewage, and gas infrastructure being operational by that time as well.
The district is spending about $1 million a day to repair and dehumidify the schools before power is restored, and Cleveland estimates the district will spend at least $25 million restoring what was lost to Ike. Along with repairs, Galveston will eventually need to replace the football stadium, track, and practice field located at Ball High School as well as some band instruments, library books, and assorted essential teaching materials lost to storm damage in the other schools.
"Living on the Gulf, you know hurricanes can happen and you've helped others through it, but it's tough to go through it firsthand," Cleveland says. "People who don't know Galveston will quickly come to understand the tenacity of its residents to do what they need to do to put their community back together."
Texas Education Association Commissioner Robert Scott says he is trying to make it as easy as possible for school districts like Galveston to get back on their feet by having money available to help cover the mounting costs of cleanup work and overtime wages for cleanup crews. Though he does not want schools closed any longer than they have to be, Scott says he wants only schools that are completely safe for students and staff to open.

West London
Notting Hill
Notting Hill is a cosmopolitan district known for its summer carnival and perhaps more famously, Hugh Grant and Julia Roberts in 'that' movie. It has a contemporary reputation as a fashionable and affluent area, known for attractive terraces of large Victorian townhouses, high-end retail and restaurants – perfect for families of all sizes and ages.
The pastel-coloured homes are as iconic to London as Big Ben, and Portobello Market is a classically British attraction. With stalls of antiques, jewellery, furs, fresh street food and often performers amid the upmarket shops, this in an area which must be visited. Refuel in one of the charming cafes with a cappuccino and some artisan treats, or perhaps choose one of the many restaurants for an impressive dining experience. For cinema with a difference, the Electric Cinema offers leather armchairs, footstools and cashmere blankets.
Nearby Westbourne Grove is the perfect spot for some shopping and brunch at Nicole Farhi's 202 which comprises both café and fashion boutique. The area has also had an association with artists and 'alternative' culture for some time with Notting Hill Arts Club a 'muso' favourite. Its cultural diversity, proximity to central London and large family homes make it a prime location for a stylish stay for all the family.
In the large and spacious open plan kitchen/dining/living room, the deluxe cream corner couch & sofa bed points towards a wall-mounted plasma TV. A 6 seater glass dining table sits beneath a designer mirror and chandelier. There's a variety of prints and photographs on the walls adding to this chic wooden floored room. The large windows provide great lighting for this lovely room.
The white and black kitchen has floor and wall cabinets and a chrome extractor. It's fully integrated with fridge/freezer, dishwasher, washing machine, hob and oven. A skylight provides additional lighting for when you're cooking.
The master bedroom is bright with black organza curtains above the king-size bed. The large mirror, built-in wardrobe and dresser are all stylish and practical. The second bedroom is playfully decorated with a hand painted canvas, mirrored bedside table and a built-in wardrobe. The large double bed sits below a window and a host of spotlights, creating a light airy room.
The fully white tiled bathroom has a large pink feature wall, with a wall to wall mirror and a further sleek black carved mirror. There's a bath (and wall-mounted shower over the bath), WC and hand basin.
For some outdoor relaxation and fun, take yourself outside to the wood panelled terrace, complete with a table, chairs and BBQ. (Note this sits between the first and second floors and can be shared by other residents).
With the famous Portobello Road market and the very heart of Notting Hill just over a 5 minute walk away, you'll enjoy the lively neighbourhood with its cafes, restaurants, market and boutique shops as well as its many pubs and bars. This area holds much in the way of entertainment, whatever your interest, including the world famous Notting Hill Carnival at the end of August, which is a mark to the cultural vibrancy of this area. The green spaces of Holland Park and Kensington Gardens are also close by. For venturing into other parts of London, you're no more than a 5 minute walk to Westbourne Park with its handy connections (on both the Circle and Hammersmith & City lines).

Terri Clark Still Rocking At 45 [VIDEOS]
One of my all time favorite female country singers is Terri Clark, in fact she may be favorite. She is gorgeous, wears a hat and can sing and play like a maniac. Canadian born and bred Terri got her start on the American country charts in 95 with her hit "Better Things To Do" and kept the hits coming for the next decade.

Weatherford Democrat
By CHRISTIN COYNE
A 10-year-old Parker County boy died Monday after being run over while trying to catch a school bus in front of his home.
The incident occurred around 6:30 a.m. in the 100 block of Hilltop Meadows Drive during partial early morning darkness, according to the Texas Department of Public Safety.
The southbound Springtown ISD bus had stopped in front of the home to load a student, senior trooper Gary Rozzell said, adding that the boy, identified as Haven Lee Norton, came from the east side of the road to cross in front of the vehicle when the bus began moving again.
The boy's mother, who witnessed the incident, told authorities that he tripped and fell in front of the bus, Rozzell said.
The driver did not see the boy and ran over the child, according to Rozzell.
Haven, a fourth grader at Springtown Elementary, was pronounced dead at the scene.
In addition to the driver, four children and another adult were aboard the bus at the time.
At least one of the students on the bus was reportedly able to provide authorities some information, as well.
The wreck is still under investigation, Rozzell said.
The 52-year-old driver voluntarily went with Springtown ISD for a drug and alcohol screen per the district's procedure, though troopers have no indication drugs or alcohol were a factor, Rozzell said.
The driver has been with the district for two years and has been placed on leave, Springtown ISD Superintendent Mike Kelley said, adding that it is standard operating prodecure to place an employee on administrative leave so an investigation can be conducted, and it does not indicate any wrongdoing.
Crisis Management Team counselors were available for students at the elementary school Monday morning and the district began notifying parents through the ParentLink calling system around 9:30 a.m., according to Kelley.
When some of the fourth graders began talking about the incident Monday morning, he spoke with both of Haven's classes to make sure they had the facts and not fiction, Kelley said.
"A tragedy like this is very difficult for anybody involved," Kelley said. "We understand that whatever struggle we have is far, far inferior to the family's."
"We're going to make sure that first and foremost we pray for the family," Kelley said, adding that the teachers will lean on each other and care for their students.
The school sent home a letter to parents and the district's Crisis Management Team will continue to be available for students, according to Kelley.
"The death of a student will have a significant impact on students and staff members," Kelley said. "Individuals will react in many different ways, some more intensely than others. I believe that one of the most important things we can do at this point is maintain a supportive environment and encourage open expression of feelings. We want to make sure that every student receives the support and assistance he or she needs to cope with this loss."
Kelley said he expects Tuesday to be even more challenging, both for the family and the school, as they have time for Haven's death to sink in.

Family Doctor reviews in Round Lake
I have been seeing Dr. and he is the best by far. I would hate to have to switch to someone else."
Dr. I highly recommend her for adults and children. My daughter has been seeing her since she was 4yo and looks forward to her doctor visits, even if she is having a shot. We are fortunate to have such a highly skilled doctor in our small town. "
Anytime I need to visit Dr. me for a HIDA scan which determined that my gallbladder needed to be removed. Thank God I have Dr. "
Pretty good and thorough as a GP. Watch out for Dr. and holds up a white sheet in front of herself. I have yet to receive a valid reason for this bizarre behavior. Otherwise, a good healthcare provider."
She is so good at explaining things and answering questions. She listens. She has compassion She is good when ordering tests "
I have been visiting WFP for years as my normal healthcare provider. Their staff is courteous and prompt. I think they rely to much on answering machines and their patient portal though. When results to test are in, I'd like someone to call me and tell me what the results mean rather than having to log in to the portal and have to figure them out."
don't usually go to doctors but wanted to find one that I would be able to call on if in need. I explained my expectations and was very pleased that she listened to everything I had to say, including that I'm more about natural healing and quality of life versus quantity of life. Prescribing drugs would be a last resort, although I do realize the necessity in certain cases. She was very personable and non-judgmental."
Our family have been patients of Dr. correctly diagnosing me with blood infection that ended up traveling to my heart nearly ending my life. Had it not been for Dr. "
We think we're the best, and we can prove it.
