Reporting from New York — — For Ermin Bravo, it was the peanut butter that triggered the flashbacks.
Years after the war in Bosnia ended, Bravo, a film and theater actor, still couldn't touch the condiment, fearful of what it would evoke. "It was the only thing sweet from those [aid] packages we got, and we ate so much of it during the war," Bravo, now 32, recalled. "Until this shoot [reacquainted me with it], I couldn't eat it. It brought back too many memories."

Glasgow Daily Times
All four Gamaliel city commissioners are seeking election as write-in candidates.
Paul Lee, who is technically up for re-election, missed the deadline to file for office and is running as a write-in candidate.
Three other commissioners, who were recently appointed to their positions and are seeking election as write-in candidates are: Jeff Geralds, Bob Greer and Tommy Bartley.
According to city clerk Ruby Davis, the commission was conducting city business with only two commissioners plus its mayor, Carol Wheeler in 2011. The Gamaliel has a commission form of government that operates with four commissioners and must have at least three present in order to have quorum, she said.
When one of the two commissioners resigned in September, that left the city with one commissioner plus the mayor, meaning they had no quorum in which to conduct city business.
To fill the vacant seats, local officials had to enlist people to serve on the commission.
"We recruited some and told those people they needed to step up," said Tommy Willett, county judge-executive for Monroe County. "Fortunately, they did. I think within 24 hours we had some fine representatives to step up to the plate."
Brian Pack, city attorney, said the fact that three people agreed to serve on the commission is "kind of impressive" for a town the size of Gamaliel. He also said it is a job "they take a lot of pride in."
The city of Gamaliel is located in the southern portion of Monroe County with a population of 376 and is a sixth-class city, according to the 2010 Census.

Where 'Lost' Is Found: Thursdays
December 14, 2007 2:16 PM
Network scheduling decisions normally are routine affairs, but plenty of media suspense has built up for this announcement: ABC's serialized hit "Lost" will return Jan. 31 at 9 p.m. That's Thursday night in the slot currently held by "Grey's Anatomy" (which has only one original episode left).
"Lost" has shut down production due to the writers strike and has eight completed episodes that conclude in a cliffhanger. Last season the show aired on Wednesdays at 10 p.m., where it suffered ratings drops after taking a 13-week winter hiatus. Shifting "Lost" to Thursday echoes ABC's headline-making move last year to put "Grey's Anatomy" in the 9 p.m. Thursday slot, a decision that paid off when the medical drama began regularly besting veteran procedural "CSI."
This time, the deck is stacked in ABC's favor to maintain dominance of the coveted time period. As previously pointed out, the highly valued Thursday 9 p.m. slot was looking surprisingly light of heavy-hitter competition, with "CSI" mostly in repeats against NBC's ratings-uncertain "Celebrity Apprentice" and Fox's modestly-performing "Don't Forget the Lyrics."
If the strike is resolved and original episodes of "Grey's" make to air before "Lost" has competed its brief run, ABC intends to move the action drama to 10 p.m.
But it is Wednesday nights that get the most extreme makeover in ABC's winter strike schedule. ABC launched a trio of scripted original series this fall on Wednesdays ("Pushing Daisies," "Private Practice" and "Dirty Sexy Money"), which are fading into repeats. Starting next month, the network plans to fill the three hours with reliable returning reality shows "Wife Swap" and "Supernanny," along with new series "Cashmere Mafia."
Key ABC premiere dates:
-- Power-businesswoman ensemble drama "Cashmere Mafia" will air Wednesday at 10 p.m. starting Jan. 9, going against mostly repeats of "CSI: New York" and originals of "Law & Order." "Cashmere" will have a special premiere airing on Thursday, Jan. 3, after the final original "Grey's Anatomy."
-- Legal drama "Eli Stone" will premiere following "Lost" on Jan. 31, taking the Thursday 10 p.m. slot.
- "Oprah's Big Give," in which contestants compete to raise money and then give it away, will air Sunday nights at 9 p.m. starting March 2.
-- "Dancing With the Stars" spinoff "Dance War: Bruno vs. Carrie Ann" premieres with a two-hour episode at 8 p.m. on Monday, Jan. 7, before settling into a one-hour version thereafter.
Absent from the list: ABC hasn't yet assigned spots to new comedy "Miss/Guided," game show "Wanna Bet" and reality series "Here Comes the Newlyweds" and "Dance Machine."
With ABC's announcement, the winter broadcast schedule has filled in. Here's the complete gird for Jan/Feb.

Washington Township residents voiced their concerns about Sky Trading's plan to knock down and replace it with a new eight-pump gas station and convenience store during a zoning board meeting Tuesday night.
The plan calls for the gas station on the corner of Pascack Road and Washington Avenue to be replaced with a 1,211-square-foot convenience store and a gas station with double the number of pumps currently on the site. Residents from adjacent and nearby homes said they were concerned about safety, noise and pollution problems that might result from the project. The gas station is in a residential zone.
"This site does not exist in a vacuum," McKinley Avenue resident Dorothy Alderson said. "There are good people living around the site."
Washington Avenue resident Donna McGinnis said she does not want a larger gas station on the site, which borders her home. The current gas station is about 18 feet tall, while the proposed convenience store would be 22 feet tall. There will also be a 44- by 52-foot canopy over the pumps. McGinnis and other neighbors said they were concerned the project would lower the value of their homes.
"It will be bigger than my house," McGinnis said.
Grace Hogan, also a Washington Avenue resident, suggested the site could be improved with less drastic changes. McKinley Avenue resident Mary Ann Orecchio said the site should not have a convenience store while there are still empty stores in the strip mall further down Pascack Road.
"The ones it would be most convenient to are opposed," Orecchio said.
Zoning Board Chairman William Johnson said Sky Trading's attorney, Bruce Whitaker, will be able to make his closing arguments at the board's April 17 meeting. Board members will deliberate and vote at the meeting on May 15. Johnson requested that all the applicant's and board's experts who testified at previous hearings attend so they can answer board members' questions.

The Observatory
Attachment parenting, detached debate
Time touched a nerve this week with its provocative cover photo of 26-year-old Jamie Lynne Grumet and her 3-year-old son standing on a chair next to her, nursing her left breast while both stare directly (and unapologetically) at readers.
The underlying story focused on the "attachment parenting" method developed by Dr. William Sears, which advocates prolonged breastfeeding, "baby wearing" (carrying the child in a sling throughout the day), and having babies sleep in parents' beds. The issue, which appeared on newsstands over the weekend and coincided with Mother's Day, sparked thousands of responses from news outlets around the world.
Many reported that Time had "reignited" the debate about parenting, and breastfeeding in particular. But that's not true, at least not judging by the reactions in the mainstream media. What Time reignited is the age-old and somewhat tiresome debate about incendiary magazine covers. Quarreling about whether Time had done good or bad totally overshadowed commentary about the substance of its article, which is unfortunate for anyone interested in learning the basics of the medical community's current thinking on attachment parenting.
Time's story, by staff writer Kate Pickert, doesn't go too deep into the evidence for and against attachment parenting, either. Its focus is Sears, a California pediatrician who wrote the seminal treatise on the method, The Baby Book, in 1992. The 20-year-anniversay peg is a bit weak and Sears is no stranger to the media, but Time contended that, "For all the book's popularity and influence, surprisingly little is known about the author."
From there, the piece delved into Sears and his wife's childhoods and their own child-rearing practices, arguing that attachment parenting is "rooted" in their upbringing and that "Sears' views are less extreme than his critics (and even many of his followers) realize."
Pickert doesn't go easy on Sears, however, mentioning right away that "a lot of people might" call his philosophy crazy. She also dissects in detail one of his more controversial theories—that allowing babies to "cry-it-out" can cause brain damage. According to Pickert:
Sears cites a number of academic studies to back up his point. A close look at the research, however, does not actually provide evidence that bouts of crying associated with sleep training affect brain development. Several papers Sears cites involved studies of rats. At least one looked at babies who suffered from cases of severe neglect or trauma… Other research showed that babies who cry excessively are more likely to suffer from, for example, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, but it's not clear if they cry because of underlying neurological problems that later manifest as ADHD or whether the crying causes ADHD.
Pickert stresses that "the science on attachment is also easily misunderstood and misused." While there is evidence that children without "consistent relationships with parents" can suffer developmental and emotional problems, there is "no science to show" that babies who are fed formula, pushed in strollers, or sleep in bassinets "will turn out any different from children raised via the attachment method."
Sidebars in the story went into a little more detail.
"Bed sharing can be deadly," science reporter Jeffrey Kluger emphasized in one. "A sleeping adult can crush or suffocate a baby; the risk of SIDS increases as well." But Sears is largely in sync with the medical community in stating that it's fine for mothers to breastfeed "into toddlerhood." The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and the US Surgeon General encourage mothers to breast-feed exclusively for six months, introducing solid foods after that while continuing to nurse "one year or longer or as mutually desired by mother and infant," parenting reporter Bonnie Rochman reported in another sidebar.
That's was about it for the science in Time's story—adequate, if not ample. But the thousands of commentators who responded to the piece made nothing of it. It took half an hour of searching to find this helpful information (relegated to an online sidebar) from BBC health and science reporter James Gallagher:
• No government or international body has a recommended upper age limit on when a mother should stop breast feeding her child
• The World Health Organization (WHO) says there are a range of health benefits for exclusively breast feeding babies for the first six months
• After that the WHO suggests a combination of foods, fluids and breast milk up to the age of two "or beyond"
• Dr Mary Fewtrell, who specialises in childhood nutrition at University College London, said that there isn't any research into the health benefits of continuing to breastfeed children up until school age
• She said that "even for the health benefits of breastfeeding beyond a year or 18 months, there is little research" and that this was far more a social than a nutritional issue
A much more thorough and fascinating history of the breastfeeding debate appeared in the March issue of Harper's. The magazine published an essay by Elisabeth Badinter, adapted from her upcoming book about "how modern motherhood undermines the status of women." Titled, "The Tyranny of Breast-feeding," it's an account of the rise in influence of La Leche League, an international organization formed in the late 1950s, which advocates on-demand breastfeeding for as long a child wants.
The essay described how the league slowly but surely won the support of major national and international organizations worldwide, from the American Medical Association and American Academy of Pediatrics to the World Health Organization and UNICEF. And Badinter made no secret of her misgivings about that effort, describing it as an ideological "crusade" for "increasingly dictatorial and restrictive" practices, waged by "breast-feeding militants."
While acknowledging that "a mother's milk is perfectly adapted to the child's digestive system and developmental needs [and that] it reinforces natural immunities and reduces the risk of allergies," Badinter cast a skeptical eye on the growing list of advantages attributed to breast feeding:
Some studies claim that breast-feeding reduces the risk of sudden infant death syndrome, type 1 and 2 diabetes, lymphoma, leukemia, childhood Hodgkin's disease, obesity, hypercholesterolemia, asthma, even multiple sclerosis. Others have tried to demonstrate that breast-fed children show better cognitive development … Some of these advantages—enhanced immunity, for example—require that breast-feeding continue for three to six months. Others have little basis in scientific data.
According to Badinter, "the Society of French Pediatrics has published the most objective report on the subject, pointing out areas of uncertainty and bias."
That kind of information is useful to readers who know nothing, or next to nothing, about the current medical consensus surrounding parenting, attached or otherwise. Unfortunately, the science discussed in Time and Harper's was absent from the outcry of the last few days.
A spirited discussion about the latest research on parenting no doubt occurred on parenting blogs and forums, but anybody who is unfamiliar with that corner of the cyberwoods and lacks the inclination to wander in—a reasonable position—would be at a loss. In the mainstream media all anybody seemed to care about as whether or not an attractive young woman suckling her son was too much for the cover of a national newsweekly.
That debate—about the line between effective and exploitative—matters, too, but certainly not as much as the one about how to raise a healthy kid. The critics missed that.

A team of assessors from the Commission on the Accreditation for Law Enforcement, Inc. arrive Saturday, Dec.13, to examine all aspects of the Blount County Sheriff's policies and procedures, management, operation, and support services.
Verification by the team that the Sheriff's Office meets the Commission's state-of-the-art standards is part of a voluntary process to gain re-accreditation, a highly prized recognition of law enforcement professional excellence, Sheriff James Berrong said.
As part of the on-site assessment, Sheriff's Office employees and members of the community are invited to attend and offer comments at a public information session at 7 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 15. The session will be conducted in the Blount County Circuit Court, Division I courtroom, located on the third floor of the Blount County Justice Center.
If for some reason an individual cannot attend the public information session, but would like to provide comments to the assessment team, he or she may do so by telephone or e-mail. The public may call 273-5140 or send an e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com on Monday, Dec. 15, between the hours of 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. Comments will be taken by the Assessment Team.
Telephone comments, as well as appearances at the public session, are limited to 10 minutes, and must address the Sheriff's Offices' ability to comply with CALEA standards. A copy of the standards is available at the Sheriff's Office in the Justice Center. Local contact is Sheriff's Office Sergeant Chris Cantrell at 273-5129.
Persons wishing to offer written comments about the Sheriff's Office's ability to meet the standards for re-accreditation are requested to write to: Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies, Inc. (CALEA), 10302 Eaton Place, Suite 100, Fairfax, VA 22030-2201, or e-mail at email@example.com.
Once the Commission's assessors complete their review of the agency, they report back to the full Commission, which will decide if the Sheriff's Office is to be granted re-accreditation status.
Accreditation is for three years, during which time the Sheriff's Office must submit annual reports attesting continued compliance with those standards under which it was initially accredited. The Blount County Sheriff's Office was awarded initial accreditation in March of 2003, and re-accreditation in March 2006.
For more information regarding CALEA, write the Commission at 10302 Eaton Place, Suite 100, Fairfax, VA 22030-2201, or call 800.368.3757. Information is also available on their web site at www.calea.org.

Looking beyond law school, while "FSU is very much focused on policy and theory rather than on teaching legal-practice skills from day one," "It's clear that the school places great weight on job placement." "The placement office, deans office, and all other staff here to support the students are phenomenal. They are constantly offering small workshops, resume reviews, intimate gatherings with local judges and attorneys, and more."
Students offer high praise for FSU's facilities as well: "The classrooms are freshly renovated and the technology is great." "Our new advocacy center, the previous Florida 1st DCA building, has brought five new courtrooms to the law school as well as conference rooms, new classrooms, and interview rooms. I would put the facilities of FSU law up against any law school." Study space is widely available: "The law library is comfortable and spacious enough to fit all the students without overcrowding during exams" and across campus, facilities are "open 24/7 for students with our ID cards so no matter when we want to study we can." Add "very low" tuition, "great" program availability, "openness toward transfer students," and a "location in a capital city," and it's easy to see why FSU's law students are so satisfied with their choice.

Despite the reviewer below who says this isn't a whole wheat bread recipe - this is one of the best whole-wheat bread recipes I've ever used and I've been making bread for over 40 years. There are many whole wheat recipes that use half white flour. Concession I made: I only used the 1 c.brown sugar, eliminated the other sugar. Because I like to make my bread in a KitchenAid Mixer, I put half of each of the flours and all the rest of the ingredients in the mixer bowl. When that was well mixed, I poured the batter into a measuring cup, and then returned half of that to the mixer. I then added half of the balance of each of the remaining flours. This gave me more managable pieces of dough to work with. I added an extra 5 minutes or 50 turns of kneading by hand to each piece, then kneaded the two pieces together to rise. This bread makes wonderful toast, a great sandwich or just plain with butter. My husband raves about the bread everytime he has a slice. Thanks for a great recipe. It deserves more than 5 stars.
This is the best whole wheat recipe I have come across. I have been able to replace the white flour with 50/50 flour making the bread 3/4 whole wheat without sacrificing moisture or texture. It is best if you add the boiling water to the whole wheat and give it about 20 minutes to soak it up, that way you won't knead more flour into it than you need!
Great recipe!! I didn't have bread flour and used regular white and wheat flour and it still turned out great!! makes 4 large loaves.

iCloud is a free cloud storage service from Apple which offers you the ability to store music on the Internet rather than on local storage such as your computer or external storage device. This online locker space (previously known as MobileMe) also enables you to store other types of data like: photos, apps, contacts, documents, etc. For digital music this type of storage has the benefit of securely and remotely storing your song library while also enabling you to sync multiple devices (up to 10) -- like the iPod, iPhone, and iPad. Incidentally, if you use the iTunes Store to purchase songs, then one of the biggest benefits of using the iCloud service is that it automatically pushes down (synchronizes) your purchases to all of your registered devices.
The basic service comes with 5GB of free storage. Certain products purchased from Apple like: songs, books, and apps don't count towards this limit -- if you store photos using the Photo Stream service, then this also doesn't impact on your allocated storage space.
One of the most talked about facilities of iCloud is iTunes Match. Rather than having to manually upload all the songs in your music library, you can pay a yearly subscription of $24.99 to take advantage of Apple's scan and match service. This searches your music library for songs already in the iTunes Store which potentially saves heaps of upload time. Found songs will then be available to you (AAC @ 256 Kbps) in your iCloud account which you can then use to sync (even wireless) to all your registered iCloud devices.
To learn the steps necessary to sign up to this service using the iTunes software, be sure to follow our guide on how to subscribe to iTunes Match.

Dear Editor,
We are truly amazed and humbled by the support of our generous community as they assisted in the well-attended first annual fundraiser for the Southeast Indiana Health Center held at the Batesville Knights of Columbus Hall in January.
A sincere thanks goes to the K of C; Ripley County Community Foundation; Marcy Wurtz and Jim Saner, who coordinated the fundraiser; and many other local businesses, groups and individuals too numerous to mention.
The $26,950 raised will go a long way to help SEIHC open the doors a little wider in 2014 for the uninsured in Ripley and Franklin counties.
At the newly-opened health center, there are 12 doctors, three nurse practitioners, one physician assistant, 28 nurses and 18 clerical volunteers who assist uninsured patients. Since opening June 4, 2013, there have been a total of 281 registered patients and 476 appointments kept.
If you are interested in volunteering or to find out more about the Southeast Indiana Health Center, visit www.seihc.org or call 932-4515. Tax-deductible donations may be sent to Ripley County Community Foundation at 4 S. Park Ave., Suite 210, Batesville, IN 47006 with SEIHC noted in the memo line.
With sincerest gratitude,
SEIHC manager Paul Tyrer and executive board members Linda Tuttle, Dr. Stephen Glaser, Geralyn Litzinger, the Rev. Roger Dean, Pete Mack, Connie DeBurger and Bev Metze

THURSDAY, Aug. 22 (HealthDay News) -- Before full-blown diabetes sets in, people typically develop a syndrome known as "prediabetes." Now a new study shows that people who are not obese but who have a family history of diabetes are at higher risk of becoming prediabetic, too.
Prediabetes is a condition where blood sugar levels are higher than normal, but not as high as seen in diabetes.
It was known that a family history of type 2 diabetes increases a person's risk of diabetes, but it was not known if it increased the risk of prediabetes.
In the study, researchers led by Dr. Andreas Fritsche of the German Center for Diabetes Research looked at more than 5,400 people with normal blood sugar levels and more than 2,600 with prediabetes.
After taking into account age, sex and body fat, the researchers concluded that people with a family history of diabetes were 26 percent more likely to develop prediabetes.
Further analysis showed that the link between a family history of diabetes and prediabetes risk was seen only in people who were not obese, according to the study which was published Aug. 21 in the journal Diabetologia.
One expert not connected to the study said the finding raises new questions.
"It is interesting to note that this association was not demonstrated in those who were obese," said Dr. Alyson Myers, an endocrinologist at North Shore University Hospital in Manhasset, N.Y. "It would be helpful to look at these patients over time -- rather than at one point in time as was done in this study -- to see how these rates would change with weight loss or gain."
The study authors offered up their own theory on why the connection was most evident among slimmer people. "This might indicate [that] the effect of family history on prediabetes becomes readily measurable only when not overshadowed by strong risk factors such as obesity," they wrote.

This is Part 2 of The BoyToy Yultide 2013 Edition, featuring 10 of the Freshest, Hottest and Most Sought after BoyToys of P Valera. On top of my list is Ace. Some facts about him according to BoyToy.com: Age: 22, Height: 5'7, Location: Quezon City, Cell Number: 09275552890. According to Wikipedia, Yule or Yuletide is a religious festival observed by the historical Germanic peoples, later being absorbed into and equated with the Christian festival of Christmas. The earliest references to Yule are by way of indigenous Germanic month names Aerra Jeola meaning Before Yule or Jiuli and Aeftera Jeola meaning After Yule. Scholars have connected the celebration to the Wild Hunt, the god Odin and the pagan Anglo-Saxon Modranicht. Terms with an etymological equivalent to Yule are used in the Nordic countries for Christmas with its religious rites, but also for the holidays of this season. Yule is also used to a lesser extent in English-speaking countries to refer to Christmas. Customs such as the Yule log, Yule goat, Yule boar, Yule singing, and others stem from Yule. A number of Neopagans have introduced their own rites. Anyway, here now is my score and critique for Yuletide Ace Karug: Face Value: 10 points, Body Shot: 10 points, Happy Trail: 8 points, Yuletide Meter: 10 points! Overall Score: 9.5! Sung Tan Chuk Ha Everyone!

Hilton Hotels & Resorts Celebrates New Program For Chinese Travelers Abroad
Hilton Huanying offered at 50 hotels in 12 countries
September 06, 2011
BEIJING - Hilton Hotels & Resorts today hosted a national launch event for Hilton Huanying - its tailored experience for all travelers of Chinese origin. The Hilton Worldwide program inspired by the Chinese word for "welcome" enables travelers to book participating hotels with confidence, knowing the properties will meet cultural needs and expectations of Chinese travelers abroad. Fifty hotels in twelve countries representing top destinations for Chinese travelers currently offer the program.
In developing Hilton Huanying, Hilton pairs its expertise as the global leader of hospitality and more than two decades of experience in China with research; feedback from Chinese guests, travel agents and tour operators; and a beta test in the United Kingdom, United States and Korea. Hilton leaders are touring Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou this week as part of a sustained campaign to educate Chinese consumers and tour operators about the new Hilton offering.
"Hilton Huanying is an extension of our brand promise to ensure every guest feels cared for, valued and respected," said Dave Horton, global head, Hilton Hotels & Resorts. "This is an incredibly exciting time for our brand as we grow our presence within China and welcome the growing number of outbound Chinese travelers exploring key destinations around the world."
Considered widely as one of the world's fastest-growing economies and leading hospitality markets, China will achieve 83 million outbound departures with an average annual growth rate of 9% according to the statistics from China National Tourism Administration.
"As the association of tourist hotels in China, we have paid close attention to the initiatives and development of the international hotel groups targeting Chinese travellers, and I'm pleased to notice that Hilton continues its innovative approach to products, amenities and service to meet the unique needs of Chinese travellers," said Mr. Zhang Rungang, Chairman of China Tourist Hotel Association. "Hilton Huanying, based on a deep understanding of Chinese culture and lifestyle, provides thoughtful amenities and dedicated services for Chinese tourists during their stay overseas. It's the real tailor-made 'welcome' red carpet rolling out for Chinese travelers outside of China."
Hilton Huanying extends authentic experiences with amenities, service standards and dedicated Hilton team member training in destinations popular among Chinese visitors including San Francisco, New York City, Hawaii and Vancouver in North America along with London, Tokyo and Sydney. Chinese travelers will find familiar comforts in three key touch points of the on-property experience - arrival, guest room and breakfast at Hilton. Elements of the Hilton Huanying experience include a front desk team member fluent in Mandarin; guest room amenities such as a selection of Chinese teas and teakettles, slippers, and a dedicated television channel with Chinese programmes; and breakfast items including congee, dim sum, fried rice and noodles. Travelers can now visit www.hilton.com/huanying or www.hilton.com.cn/huanying to view more details about Hilton Huanying.
Hilton Worldwide continues its rapid expansion in China and is scheduled to have 100 properties operating in China within the next five years, 40 of which are in the Hilton Hotels & Resorts portfolio. The company's flagship brand currently has 11 hotels in China and recently opened two properties in Guangzhou and one property in Xi'an. Additional Hilton Hotels & Resorts properties are scheduled to open in Nanjing and Dalian by the end of this year. Media can access additional information in Chinese at cn.hiltonglobalmediacenter.com and in English at www.hiltonglobalmediacenter.com.

This year, for the first time, the Marine Corps League is collecting toys in Cherokee County for needy children. All toys collected will remain in Cherokee County and go to Cherokee County children.
All recipients are screened by the United Way's 211 screening program to ensure true need and to eliminate those who would take advantage of the Toys for Tots program. Anyone found to be taking advantage, will be dropped from the program.
The Marine Corps League was founded in 1923 by World War I hero, then Major General Commandant John A. Lejeune, for whom Camp Lejeune is named. It is the only veteran's organization chartered by the U.S. Congress. That charter was signed and approved by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt on August 4, 1937.
The Jacksonville Daily Progress has partnered with the local chapter of the Marine Corps League to collect toys. We are one of a dozen or so collection sites set up throughout the county.
From now until December 22, we will be collecting new, unwrapped toys in our lobby. You can drop them off any time during normal business hours.
And, if you are an active duty Marine, or have been honorably discharged from that service, you should know the local chapter is pretty active in the community, and they are always looking for new members. You can contact them directly through Jr. Vice Commandant Stephen (Scooby) Hutson at email@example.com or 903-586-2106.

Avoiding Disaster at French Lake Dog Park
As many of you know by now, last week a puppy was stabbed to death at Auburn's off-leash dog park by an owner who claimed his dog was in the process of being attacked (Click here for more information on that story). This tragedy recalls the fatal 2010 shooting of a dog at the Severn, Maryland dog park by an owner who claimed his dog was under attack (more info).
Aside from the boatload of legal and criminal sanctions which either potentially (or in the Maryland case, did actually) rain down on a dog owner who chooses to use lethal force on another dog, we would very much like to avoid tragic and ugly incidents like those mentioned above at our park.
We believe we can minimize the chances of these types of tragedies by using common sense, and understanding and respecting the park rules. For any dog park to "work," we as park patrons and stewards of the park:
1. Absolutely must be able and willing to control our dogs–this is a paramount and non-negotiable requirement to use the park. We have had some "near misses" at our park where violence has been threatened. Without fail, these incidents are triggered by an owner's belief, whether justified or not, that their dog was put at risk by actual aggression, was about to be, or was being attacked. This is what occurred in both of the highly-publicized cases mentioned above.
2. Respect the rights of all park patrons. No one wants their trip ruined by other dogs' interfering with their enjoyment of the park. We all bring our dogs to the park for different reasons, some of us play ball, some of our dogs love to play with or chase other dogs, others just want to walk around the park and get a little exercise. We need to respect the rights of the numerous other patrons in the park, even if their reasonable expectations differ from our own. A park experience can be (and many have been) ruined by dogs which interfere with others' enjoyment of the park, whether by overly aggressive, unruly or rough behavior, or by stealing a toy or a ball. While many patrons are OK with this, we need to respect the rights of all our patrons. We have a large park, it's sensible to relocate to another part of the park when you see or anticipate a conflict occurring.
3. If an incident where the threat of serious injury appears imminent (or a serious injury has actually occurred), if possible call 9-1-1 or Federal Way Animal Control. One key way to avoid incidents is by reporting problem or dangerous dogs. Dogs and owners can be (and have been) cited by law enforcement and/or banned from the park, and this helps keep the park safer for responsible patrons.
4. Remember that weapons are officially prohibited in Federal Way Parks.

Business Management: Successful Teams: Turning Passion Into a Successful Business, Powered by MRN
When:November 4, 2013 - 1:00pm - 2:00pm
Where:Las Vegas Convention Center, Upper North Hall, N253
Presented by: Jim Cozzie, Certus Partners, LLC; Adrian Murray, Painless Performance; Dennis Overholser, Painless Performance; Rose Kawasaki, Exports International; Wade Kawasaki, Coker Tire
Many thriving companies are based on passionate involvement. If you love what you do, the old saying goes, you'll never work a day in your life. But passion alone doesn't keep the doors open. Every commercial endeavor also requires knowledge of fundamental principals.
Success requires both qualities—passion and sound business judgment, including knowledge of accounting, marketing and operational systems. Few entrepreneurs possess all of those abilities, which is why business teams with diverse skills accomplish more.
In a new "Successful Teams" seminar to be held at the 2013 SEMA Show, industry veteran and former chairman of the SEMA Board of Directors Jim Cozzie will moderate a panel of influential business partners who have teamed to create leading aftermarket companies. These industry experts will teach attendees how to build a bridge between one person's creative energy and another's business acumen.
Join distinguished panelists such as Ron Coleman and Scooter Brothers of Comp Performance, Adrian Murray and Dennis Overholser of Painless Performance, and Tracie Nunez of Advanced Clutch Technology as they discuss the means and methods essential to successful business partnerships.

People cast their votes at a polling station set up at the Miami-Dade Government Center on October 18, 2010 in Miami, Florida. Florida residents headed to the polls to cast votes on the first day of early voting in teh midterm elections. (Photo by Joe Raedle/Getty Images)
Gov. Jerry Brown signed a bill that would award all of California's 55 Electoral College votes to
the winner of the national popular vote in presidential elections Monday.
The movement by a group called National Popular Vote aims to prevent a repeat of 2000, when Democrat Al Gore won the popular vote but Republican George W. Bush won the electoral vote. The
proposed change would ensure the winner of the national popular vote becomes president.
With Brown's signature Monday, California became the eighth state to sign on, giving the effort 132 of the 270 electoral votes it needs to take effect.
California and most other states currently have winner-take-all systems that give all the electoral votes to the candidate who wins the most votes in that state.
Peninsula assembly member Jerry Hill sponsored the bill. He said California is ignored in most general presidential elections and as a result, important issues to California are given "short shrift in the national discourse."
"For too long, presidential candidates have ignored California and our issues while pandering exclusively to the battleground states," Hill said. "A national popular vote will force candidates to actually campaign in California and talk about our issues."

Soil and groundwater remediation systems at the BP Site in Paulsboro, New Jersey, are partially powered by a 275 kW solar energy system. The system consists of nearly 6,000 ground-mounted photovoltaic panels situated above a covered landfill on adjacent property that was unsuitable for the area's anticipated industrial and commercial redevelopment. Over 10 years of operation, use of this renewable energy source has avoided more than 3 million pounds of carbon dioxide emissions *Update*

Pat's Kitchen
Patricia Altomare
---- — September and October are two beautiful months for camping and hiking, and there are plenty of areas locally to do just that.
My son Mark found the joy of hiking years ago. Besides hiking in many areas of New Hampshire, he has hiked in Hawaii, Alaska, and the Northwest. Now living in the "Four Corners" of Colorado, he enjoys weekends of great hiking in the San Miguel Mountains.
Serious hiking demands frequent snacking. Just a handful of trail mix when you stop for a rest keeps your energy high. You want a mix with a base of low-fat, low-sugar granola, and items such as pitted dates, dried apples, cashews, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, and dried apricots. (Bring enough to share and you will be popular.) Avid hikers have learned not to be tempted with high-fat, high-sugar foods, which can give you a sluggish feeling.
Another tip I can pass on is that if you only pack Pop-Tarts or granola bars, you will be sorry for sure. You want good and wholesome food to look forward to after a strenuous day of hiking. Eating a good meal around the campfire weaves people together and makes it a warm experience that is a huge part of hiking and camping. That's where I come in! With a little planning ahead it's quite easy to prepare a satisfying meal fit for a king.
Make sure you share these recipes with any hikers, campers, and Boy or Girl Scouts in your family. It's a complete out-of-doors-meal that can be prepared ahead at home, kept cold in the refrigerator or cooler, and then thrown on the grill or campfire for 20 minutes.
Camper's Foil Dinner
Makes 2 dinners
2 potatoes, peeled and sliced thin
3 carrots, peeled and sliced thin
1/2 pound lean ground beef or turkey)
2 slices cheddar cheese
1 teaspoon seasoned salt (such as Lawry's)
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 onion, thinly sliced
2/3 cup pineapple chunks
Barbecue sauce, to taste
Parboil potato and carrot slices for 5 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Split ground meat into 2 oblong patties about 5-by-2-by-2.
Split each patty in half and tuck in a slice of cheese, sealing the meat around the cheese.
Place patties in the center of a 12-by-18 inch piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil.
Sprinkle patties with seasoned salt and pepper.
Place over the meat in this order: potato, carrots, onion, and pineapple.
Pour favorite barbecue sauce over all. Fold and seal foil securely. Keep cold until ready to cook.
Cook over hot coals for 20 minutes, sealed side of foil up.
Cranberry-Pecan Couscous Pudding
Serves 2 for breakfast or dessert
1/2 cup instant couscous
1/2 cup nonfat dry milk
1/4 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup pecans, finely chopped
3 tablespoons light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon salt
11/4 cups water
At home: In an airtight plastic bag, combine all ingredients except water. Seal tightly.
At camp: In a medium saucepan, bring water to a boil, Stir in pudding mix, cover, and remove from heat. Let stand 10 minutes. Stir and serve.
More pudding tips
1. Take a small plastic measuring cup for water (an empty 8-ounce yogurt cup will do.
2. Write on a strip of masking tape the amount of water needed and directions and stick to plastic bag.
3. Feel free to substitute your favorite dried fruits and nuts.
I found this fun way to cook a pig-in-a-blanket around a campfire:
Roast a hot dog over the fire the traditional way, and then when it's done, leave it on the stick.
Poke 3 toothpicks through the hot dog (each end and the middle) and wrap a thin slice of uncooked bacon around the hot dog using the exposed ends of the toothpicks to secure it to the dog. Cook the bacon over the fire just like you did the hot dog.
Now pop open a canister of crescent rolls, remove a roll and wrap it around the bacon, again using the toothpicks to hold it in place. Cook this over the fire a little further from the coals until nicely browned and cooked through.
Eat right off the stick. No mess! (Don't forget to remove the toothpicks before digging in.)

Analyst: THQ disappointed in Darksiders
A leading industry analyst has questioned the success of THQ's first release of the year, the new IP, Darksiders.
Signal Hill's Todd Greenwald told Gamasutra that Darksiders had failed to give any kind of results on the considerable investment they had put into it.
Greenwald said: "Darksiders didn't perform up to THQ's expectations, likely selling less than 1 million units despite heavy marketing dollars, 2-3 years of development costs, and was also subject to discounting just 2 weeks after its release."
Darksiders did have a difficult time though, being released in the first week of January alongside Sega's monster Bayonetta.

students return to school in just more than two weeks, however staff and new hires have been hard at work training and organizing for the upcoming 2012-13 school year.
A new director of staff development is joining the administrative team. Meet Dr. Mara Linaberger.
Responsible for staff development, assessment and technology-integration in the district, she'll be working closely with Superintendent and, of course, —assistant to the superintendent.
"Our two jobs mesh in many places," she said. "Curriculum writing, alignment and revision are a big part of ongoing professional development activities in a district."
Originally from Penn Hills, Linaberger taught for 17 years in the Pittsburgh Public Schools. She received her bachelor's degree in psychology from Chatham University, her Master of Arts in teaching from the University of Pittsburgh and a doctorate in instructional technology from Duquesne University.
Currently, she's working on her Superintendent's Letter of Eligibility at California University of Pennsylvania.
"My early teacher training was in arts and technology integration, which have been strong foundations for the work I've done in the past few years," she said.
For the last four and a half years, she worked for Intermediate Unit One as a curriculum specialist. She led grant writing and programmatic work in the areas of arts integration, arts education and technology integration.
Her job entailed working with the 25 school districts in Washington, Greene and Fayette counties, including Peters.
"That's a big part of why I came to Peters," she said. "I had served this district and worked with Dr. Zetty and various administrators. Peters is the highest performing district in the IU1 service area, which made this an interesting professional challenge. The district's commitment to the arts and technology for students truly matched my skill sets and interests. I was excited to see how we might collaborate to continue to build upon the district's tradition of excellence."
The Sewickley resident just finished a retreat with the district's leadership team, an intense series of meetings as the district plans for the new year.
"Peters has an exceptional group of principals and vice principals," Linaberger said. "I'm looking forward to meeting all the other staff as well. We will be working on continuing to build professional learning communities within the buildings.
"Learning communities have teachers functioning in method similar to how we would like to see students learning. Globally, we are moving away from an industrial model of education toward more project-based and collaborative learning. As a district, we will encourage community-building activities in each school, tailored to how the building functions, its unique vision and mission. We'll also be looking closely the specific learning needs of each student."
In her spare time, Linaberger enjoys hiking, being outdoors and creating mosaic stained glass.
