Editor's note: This is one of several articles in a series of profiles on Westchester/Playa Del Rey Neighborhood Council candidates that Patch will be running leading up to the election.
What would you prioritize if you were voted in?
One of my priorities would be a continuing strong Outreach effort to our stakeholders. Having been involved in the Neighborhood Council process since 2002, I am amazed when stakeholders tell me that they didn't know they were served by a Neighborhood Council, let alone what their purpose was. I want to change that. Another priority will be to continue to oppose the movement North of the runway at LAX. There is no need to move the runway another 260, 340 or even 350 feet. The effects will be damaging on the homes, apartments, schools and churches that are located in that area. I would continue to push for Alternatives 2 and 9, instead.
Who are your primary supporters?
Having been a lifelong Westside resident, my primary supporters are the people that I grew up with, worked with, friends, neighbors and business associates. Additionally, I have long been active in various service and civic organizations, where I have gotten to know a lot of really great people.
What issue do you feel most strongly about and what's your position?
My position on LAX expansion is clear; I oppose it, while supporting modernization as outlined in Alternatives 2 and 9. That being said, issues such as Crime, Planning and Land Use as well as the overall future of our City are on the front burner. It will be very difficult to have outstanding neighborhoods and communities, for example, if the City Council doesn't get their act together and address the oncoming "financial Armageddon" that is going to rear its head soon. Tough choices will have to be made; strong leaders in our communities will have to make their voices heard on these issues. My voice will be among them.
What's one thing most constituents don't know about you?
My life is pretty transparent, to those that know me. For nearly eighteen (18) years I have been a single father of two (2) sons, Matthew and Daniel. Matthew is married and has just returned from Afghanistan and is stationed at Fort Bliss, Texas. My youngest son Daniel is attending college locally, transferring from Northern Arizona University at Flagstaff. We have a ranch in Northwest Arizona, and hopefully one of these days, we'll have time to enjoy it.
Why did you decide to run?
Although this is my first run in the Westchester-Playa Neighborhood Council, I actually was a co-founder of the Del Rey Neighborhood Council. There I served as Vice-President, then elected for two (2) terms as President. We had a very successful council, and I was proud of my service there. However, I moved to Playa del Rey, and wanted to get active again...this time in my new community. I feel that I have a lot of positive input that I can contribute, so here I am.

Coaches usually are not big fans of surprises.
Jacksonville College head soccer coach Rafael Gonzalez receive a royal surprise — one like he has never experience before — on Tuesday when Daisy Sims of England scored an impressive five goals in the Lady Jaguars' 7-1 whitewash victory over Wiley College (NAIA, Division I) in the Lady Jags' final exhibition game of the season.
"We brought Daisy in as a midfielder or possibly to play defender," Gonzalez said. "She scored on a corner kick early in the Wiley match and made it look so easy, so we decided to leave her up top and she added four more goals. I have never had that happen before...it was pretty impressive."
Men: Wiley 2, Jacksonville College 0
An older and stronger group of Wiley Wildcats proved to be too much for the young Jaguars as Wiley blanked the JC guys, 2-0.
But that was not to say that Gonzalez didn't like what he saw from his men.
"Wiley had a very experienced bunch," Gonzalez said. "Most were juniors or seniors and one of their guys was even 28-years-old, as I understand.
"I think the extra experience and power that their (Wiley) guys had was the difference. Our guys had good technique and played well, but Wiley was a stronger and the more physical team and that gave them the edge."
Gonzalez said that he believes his Jags will be able to learn form the outing.
"The match was a good eye opener for us in many ways," he said. "I have a lot of confidence in these guys and they are a good team."
NOTE: The Lady Jags' home opener is scheduled for 6 p.m. tonight at the Bill McRae Soccer Complex, which is located southwest of the Curtis Carroll Fieldhouse near the corner of Washington and Pine Streets...At around 5:30 p.m. there will be a formal dedication ceremony for the facility...The Jags will lay their first home match at 6 p.m.on Aug. 31 against Richland College.

Save Your Teeth – Curing Periodontal Disease without Surgery
Clean teeth and healthy gums are important not only for pleasant breath, but also for a healthy body.
Let us help you make sure that your Oral Health is in optimal condition for your overall good health, and an attractive smile that others will appreciate. If your goal is to 'save your teeth' and keep them for your life time, we are the office for you.
Do your gums bleed?
This is a sign of an unhealthy situation where bacteria and bleeding gums can cause bone loss around the teeth and also let bacteria into your body.
Everyone can potentially have a healthy mouth, and our hygiene team can help you achieve that goal.
First, if there is a problem, our phase contrast microscope allows us to see the microbes that are irritating the gums. Every patient in our office is evaluated with a bacterial slide to determine the state of your oral health.
We can then diagnose the best way to treat the problem and heal your gums and put a stop to Periodontal Disease. Your body doesn't need to be fighting what it thinks is an infection in your mouth, and your body doesn't need bacteria in the blood which can happen without appropriate care. We can make that all go away and you can enjoy a healthy happy smile.
If the teeth have bacteria and calcified deposits or tarter on them they need a professional cleaning, especially if it is under the gums.
Did you know that the whiter the gums are the healthier they are? Red puffy gums are not a healthy sign.
Healthy gums have a stippled 'orange peel' like texture, and are light colored and tight. Some people make the mistake of not aggressively brushing gums that bleed.
Keep your teeth healthy all your life?
The gums are designed to take a beating, and healthy gums are tough. But when the body thinks the bacteria around your teeth is an infection, the gums get soft, puffy and red, and then they are weakened to let white blood cells out to fight this "infection". This is called inflammation, and is the reason the gums can bleed easily. If you have this condition, thorough brushing, flossing and a visit to Layton Dental will get your gums tough and healthy again. We offer a variety of flossing helps, rinses and proprietary protocols for eradicating Periodontal Disease.
Please call to make an appointment today! You can't afford to let this condition get worse.
Our Hygienists are gentle and thorough, you will be glad you did.About Grant Layton

Is there a link between endometriosis and endometrial cancer?
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
Thank you.
Stephen C. Rubin, MD, Professor and Chief of the Division of Gynecologic Oncology, University of Pennsylvania Health System, responds:
Although endometriosis has been suggested as a risk factor for ovarian cancer, there is no known link with endometrial cancers, which arise from the lining of the uterus. A small proportion of endometrial cancers have a hereditary component, and may occur in families together with colon, breast, ovarian, and other cancers. Fortunately, most endometrial cancers are diagnosed early and are completely curable if properly treated. A gynecologic oncologist is the specialist best equipped to recommend treatment and evaluate prognosis.

Bringing 'Worst Week' Across the Pond
July 18, 2008 11:54 AM
CBS' "Worst Week" has its main character screwing up and stepping in it every episode.
More literally at some times than others.
In the pilot, Sam Briggs, played by Kyle Bornheimer, mixes up a pot of turkey with a toilet during a power outage.
Mr. Bornheimer, when asked about the comedic moments of playing in a scene like that, said, "Once you are presented with a pot of urine, the possibilities … pissabilities … are endless."
"That's for you guys," he said to groans from audience.
The series, adapted from British series "The Worst Week of My Life," was difficult to adapt to American sensibilities.
Translating British comedies to America is "like trying to transport a Ming vase across the ocean," said Jimmy Mulville, executive producer.

Times West Virginian
Adjusting to the speed of the game.
Ex-Fairmont Senior High School Polar Bear standout Trevor Malnick is adjusting well in the college ranks.
So far this season, Malnick has disrupted opposing teams' offenses, while giving Fairmont State a reliable strong-side outside linebacker.
"I just had the chance, and I took advantage of my situation," said Malnick. "If I never received the opportunity from coach (Mike) Lopez and my other coaches, I wouldn't have even been able to showcase my talent."
During the first game of Malnick's career, Lopez was in desperate need of an outside linebacker who was smart enough to learn the defense, but fast and strong enough to play at a high level.
"I'm pretty comfortable with the defense because we run a 3-3-5 stack," Malnick said. "My keys are to determine the strengths of the field and where's my help and where I have to fit in with the help. With this kind of defense, communication is key at this level."
During the first game of Malnick's career, he noticed a bit of a change from just a season ago when he played in Class AAA for Fairmont Senior.
"Coming from high school where a lot of times I was bigger and faster than the kids I was competing against, compared to now, where the kids are a lot bigger and a lot faster, I've noticed a big change," Malnick said. "There are kids running 4.4s and 4.5s. It's hard to adapt at first, but it's slowed down a lot with me getting the opportunity of being around the fast pace day in and day out."
In his first college career football game against Clarion, Pa., Malnick played the majority of the snaps at outside linebacker, while notching two tackles.
The following game versus Glenville State, Malnick was determined to step up his game, while playing with anger and a determination to enforce pain upon the opposing team's running backs.
"I just basically went out there and tried to cause ruckus," Malnick said while grinning ear to ear. "They are our rival and we hate each other, so it was a big game for us."
During the Glenville State game, Malnick tallied nine tackles, two going for negative yardage.
Because of his efforts against the Pioneers, he earned himself team "Defensive Player of the Week" honors.
Now that Malnick is one of the best defensive players on the Fairmont State football squad, his job is to become better throughout his tenure with the football team.
"As of now, since I've developed into a starter, I'm just trying to keep my spot as a starter and have it carry on through next year," said Malnick. "Also, I want to keep getting better game by game."
Malnick and the rest of the Fighting Falcon football play today versus West Liberty at home beginning at 1 p.m.
"Against West Liberty, I want us to come out and play hard off the ball," Malnick said. "We need to pressure the quarterback and stop the run, so we can allow our offense to have time to score some points. Hopefully, we can leave the day with a win."

Amazing View and Perfect Location!!!
Stayed at the Holiday Inn Express Seattle Center last week during my spring break. I loved this hotel so much!!!!!! My room had a perfect view of the Space Needle, which was exciting. I could easily walk the 3 blocks to Seattle Center (where the Space Needle and many other cool attractions are located) or it was a little longer walk (20 minutes or so) to the Waterfront area's shopping and restaurants and Pike Place Market. I never had to use my car!! The staff is warm and friendly, and helped me on several occasions to arrange tours and pickups. The breakfast is wonderful (including warm cinnamon rolls) and served in a beautiful room just used for breakfast. My room was large and comfortable, and quiet despite facing the busy freeway. For being in such a central location, the rate (under $100) was also great!! There were 2 computer stations in the lobby for free Internet use, and a small gift shop in the lobby stocked with small items and souvenirs. I loved the Holiday Inn Express Seattle Center!!
On the downside--the underground parking was a bit scary with tiny parking spots. My advice is to try to grab one of the above ground spots along the front of the hotel. I grabbed one of those, then didn't have to move my car the entire time! Also, it can be hard to exit the hotel by car because of all the one way streets and the freeway in front, so just be cautious when exiting.

Ricky Rubio's agent doesn't rule out Grizzlies
"Grizzlies general manager Chris Wallace said Friday there was cordial talk -- and no threats -- when he met with the agent for Spanish point guard Ricky Rubio. "We had a productive and wide-ranging discussion. It was a good meeting," Wallace said from Los Angeles before he boarded a plane for Spain to watch the 18-year-old Rubio, who according to an Internet report might not want to play in Memphis."

Good day to be in the UK. Luckily, with the internet, even we yanks can see TG these days. In theory I mean :tape:
Men at work
Why do roadworks take so long? It's a question that's vexed every one of us as we sit stationary, gazing glazen-eyed at a builder armed with a stop-go sign and massive arse cleavage. Surely there must be a better way?
With the aid of just 32 of Warwickshire's finest road workers, a quarryful of tarmac and an incredibly irritating megaphone, the boys try to complete a week's worth of road repairs in just 24 hours. How hard can it be?
Fast food
This week's studio guest Jamie Oliver was on a mission to prove he could set a tasty lap time rather than make a dog's dinner of our Reasonably Priced Car.
After nearly flattening us at Gambon - twice - and demonstrating a couple of the most spectacular fishtail slides we've ever seen on our icy test track, Jamie eventually got to grips with the non-stick circuit (see what we did there?) and even managed to fry the Lacetti's radiator. Smoking stuff.
Jaguar XKR v Aston Martin V8 Vanquish
What better way to celebrate the return of the best show in Britain (hell, the world) than thrash a couple of the finest sports cars in Britain (hell, the world) around our test track? We've never seen Jeremy more torn - will he plump for the gorgeous Vanquish or the Jag's supercharged XKR, with an engine note like "Tom Jones gargling a NASCAR"? Oh, how we've missed those metaphors...
Hammond's shunt
It's the big one. Like a scary film, you know what's coming. You want to shut your eyes, but somehow you can't look away. Whatever you've read about Hammond's jet car accident, you won't be quite prepared for it. It even shut JC up. Don't miss it.
Watch more
So that's what's on the show, but the TG coverage doesn't end at 9pm on Sunday. Oh no. The techies at TopGear.com have been beavering away to create an awesome 3D reconstruction of Hammond's crash, using detailed telemetry from the Vampire's black box.
The animation gives you an amazing insight into the G-forces and impact of the high-speed crash. It goes live as the show ends.
And that's not all. As soon as you've seen the video and watched the reconstruction, we want to know what you think. Richard will be posting a blog on the site at 9pm, and we'll be giving you the chance to respond.

1065 Victoria Ave
Ok, now it's my turn with the help of Normand taking a picture of the house on 1065 Victoria.
The picture he took of the house with the two doors was the building where my mom and dad, Lillian and Walter Alexander lived after they were married. I had told him how my dad at that time they lived there raised and sold rabbits to his fellow workers he was a steam fitter at the C.N.R. yards in the Point.
My dad was a wonderful repair man and worker like many years ago many had to be. He could build or repair anything, I can't remember if it was my dad who built the rabbit house that later may have been turned into a chicken house. But, I do remember my dad telling me he had done a lot of work for the lady who own the house.
One day while walking by the house with my dad he stopped by to say hello to the lady, I can't really remember what age I was. She was out in her green house just at the side near the back of the house, she called inviting us in. In we went..... plants were every were... in my eyes it looked like a jungle, one I seen took me by surprise as it was the biggest cactus in my young life had every seem, it went up the wall then over the top of the ceiling in the hot house to the other side.
The lady told me how this cactus was the last thing her daughter had given her before her passed away at a young age. She said the plant helped her to feel closer to her young daughter. I remember at the time feeling so sad for her only having a plant and not her daughter.
I remember many times my dad would tell me stories about working at the C.N.R. and all the pranks the men would play on each other, also how at times the men who purchase the rabbits from him after he had killed and skinned them would tease him saying, are you sure they are rabbits and not cats. Ha-ha
When I went into the information on street names in..... Do You Remember.....St. Lambert, the names I found from the year 1935 on Woodstock to Devonshire had an address 805 and the name by the address was Walter Alexander.......that's my dad's name. From what I also see they also call it...Bute Ave.
Looks like years ago that address 1065 Victoria was 805 and 1067 was 807 with the name as occupant was John Verinchook at 807 and Walter Alexander at 805.
I now wonder if this was the house Richard Werenchuck was talking about. I wonder if the house belong to John Verinchook and later was sold to the Werenchuck family ??? where his wonderful hard working grandmother live. Ha-ha
PS Every day is like a big treasure hunt for many of us .
Thanks Bev V.
I think Richard can she some light here...

SE Mich. Voters Pass SMART Millage
Did Michigan commuters make a SMART decision? Voters, Tuesday, easily approved the millage for the SMART bus system, only transit system serving much of Wayne, Oakland, and Macomb counties.
Smart Expressions
As sales of the little Smart car slow down, the company is finding a new way to reach out to customers. They've launched a unique customization program.

Once there existed a historically unique nation that was born of hard work and a longing for religious freedom and independence from a despotic government, a government intent on taking the proceeds from that hard work through burdensome taxation. Growing pains involved two devastating wars fought here, one for the freedom of the whole country and another for the freedom of an enslaved people.
The incentive to work hard and innovate provided this country with immense wealth. As the Constitution required, the government claimed taxation power to provide military protection and build roads and infrastructure to benefit the whole country. Then a new breed of American appeared — the professional politician who learned to milk the rest of the country for entitlements that would ensure re-election.
The patriots who fought to establish and preserve this country would not recognize the nation we have become. What was once right and righteous is now called wrong and unfair. Christianity and Judaism are under attack while atheism, agnosticism and Islam are protected. When the military was preparing to overturn "Don't ask, don't tell," Army Lt. Gen. reasons, need to get out.
A Department of Justice attorney went to Manchester, Tenn., "to inform the public about what federal laws are in effect … including what speech is protected and what speech could be considered a threat" when posting items that offend Muslims.
Polygamist families in Utah are celebrating the end of the Defense of Marriage Act. If the same rules apply to polygamy that govern LGBT couples, multiple marriages can be legitimized.
Hundreds of pro-abortion protesters crowded the Texas Capitol to support a filibuster to stop laws from being passed to force abortion clinics to be clean and safe and prevent abortions after 20 weeks. Animal protection laws are stricter than those protecting human babies.
"Fairness" is suddenly the new religion where the productive are penalized so the poor can share the wealth without having to contribute anything in return. Sadly, we are willingly being persuaded that the "Laws of Nature and of Nature's God" that were fought for so long ago should be replaced by whimsical laws of man, leaving God and morality out of it.

Giovanna Baglione, Sacred and Profane Love
This was painted in 1602-3, before Giovanni Baglione sued Caravaggio & friends for libel in the summer of 1603. It was done in response to Caravaggio's Love Conquers All, and for an equally powerful patron as Caravaggio's patron. It is one of my favorite artistic competitions ever. Refer to Helen Langdon & Andrew Graham-Dixon's biographies of Caravaggio. Both offer excellent discussions of the painting and the trial.
Wow. I can definitely see how it was a response to Love Conquers All.

The Explanation
(for those who require one)
And, of course, that is what all of this is -- all of this: the one song, ever changing, ever reincarnated, that speaks somehow from and to and for that which is ineffable within us and without us, that is both prayer and deliverance, folly and wisdom, that inspires us to dance or smile or simply to go on, senselessly, incomprehensibly, beatifically, in the face of mortality and the truth that our lives are more ill-writ, ill-rhymed and fleeting than any song, except perhaps those songs -- that song, endlesly reincarnated -- born of that truth, be it the moon and June of that truth, or the wordless blue moan, or the rotgut or the elegant poetry of it. That nameless black-hulled ship of Ulysses, that long black train, that Terraplane, that mystery train, that Rocket '88', that Buick 6 -- same journey, same miracle, same end and endlessness."

Kaleidotrope tends heavily towards the speculative — towards science fiction, fantasy and horror — but we like an eclectic mix and are therefore always eager to read interesting work that falls outside those categories. Man does not live on space ships, elves and ghostly axe murderers alone, after all. We'd suggest looking through the archives to familiarize yourself with the zine, and/or checking out other work by our past contributors, to get a sense of what we're looking for and what we like.
In the end, what we want is interesting, sometimes unconventional work, well-written stories and poems that surprise and amuse us, shock and disturb us, that tell us things we didn't know or reveal old truths in brand new ways. We want strange visions of distant shores, of imaginary countries and ordinary people, and work that doesn't lose sight of entertainment and the joy of good writing.
We have no maximum word limit, although anything over 10,000 words may be a tougher sell. We do like well crafted flash fiction, too, although preferably not under 250 words.
We will consider all forms. Humor is encouraged, if tricky. Rhyming is not actively discouraged — done well, it can be terrific — but be careful about overly simple, sing-song-like structures.
We want essays, memoirs, creative nonfiction, thoughtful criticism. In past issues, we have featured essays on popular culture — from Transformers to fembots to Doctor Who — interviews with working authors, and short book reviews. If you have an idea for something and don't know if it would fit, just ask.
We are looking for sketches, comics, cartoons, photography, et cetera.
Kaleidotrope no longer considers reprints.
We buy First Serial Rights. This means that the work will not have appeared anywhere else, in print or online, prior to publication. Work published with Kaleidotrope will remain in our archives, but all rights will revert to the author upon publication.
For fiction and nonfiction alike, we will pay $0.01/word (1 cent a word) USD. For poetry, we offer a flat rate of $5 USD per accepted piece; for artwork, $10.
Reading Periods
Kaleidotrope is open to submissions from January 1 to March 31 only.
Response Time
Typically 1-3 months. Feel free to query if you have not heard from us after that.
Kaleidotrope only accepts electronic submissions, sent by e-mail attachment to firstname.lastname@example.com. You may, if you prefer, paste the text of your submission into the body of the e-mail itself — although this is less advisable for longer pieces. Please generally follow standard format for all manuscripts. Your name and contact information must be included. We'd also like your cover letter to include a little information about yourself — namely where else your work has appeared recently and where you heard about Kaleidotrope.
Please keep multiple submissions to a reasonable minimum (i.e., no more than 3 at any one time). We do not accept simultaneous submissions. We understand why authors submit stories to more than one place at a time, but please don't do it to us. Thanks!

Lebanon Reporter
---- — Typing on a computer keyboard. Peeling a banana. Buttoning your shirt. Unwrapping a straw for your cool drink. Texting or dialing on your cellphone. Tying your shoes. All of these things have one thing in common. They require fine motor skills for you to do the job. Fine motor tasks are anything that you use your hands or fingers to do. We use these skills every day, mostly without even thinking about it. That is until you CAN'T do something you need or want to do. Maybe it's because of a hand injury, arthritis, carpal tunnel or just stiffness from not using the muscles like you should. Or maybe it's because you are a young child that hasn't developed the strength and skills. Whatever the reason, we need our fine motor skills on a daily basis. Below are a few tips everyone can use to help strengthen and develop the muscles in your hands and fingers. Who knows, maybe you'll become the world's fastest texter! • Pincer grasp: This is the grasp most people are familiar with. It is picking things up with your thumb and pointer finger. Toddlers and young children do this when they pick up pieces of food, cereal and crackers with these fingers. Develop it by picking up raisins, M&M's, nuts, cereal, etc.. with your two fingers. You can practice by putting these small objects in a cupcake tin/ egg carton (or in the case of M&M's in your mouth!). Good for toddler through adults. • Building: Use Legos or K'Nex pieces to build a creation. Picking up these small pieces builds finger strength. The added benefit is using your imagination to make different things. Puzzles are another great builder. You not only develop the motor skills but you are growing the problem solving skills by figuring out where the pieces should be placed. Good for pre-school through adults. • Coloring/painting: Remember when your teacher told you to stay in the lines? Well there is a good reason for that. Coloring/ painting in small spaces helps develop control of objects in your fingers. So using crayons, chalk, pencils, markers and paintbrushes in lined spaces, all are excellent for developing control. Tracing over lines is also an excellent way to be VERY controlled in your motor movements. These skills are precursors to using a writing instrument for writing. Good for toddler through adults. • Cutting/Ripping: Using scissors to cut on specific lines or around intricate shapes is another good way to develop skills. Practice cutting pictures out of magazines or newspapers. I used to save old Christmas and birthday cards and wrapping paper for my kids to cut out the shapes. Then they can pasts on paper to draw a picture, make a card or whatever. Just remember to use safety or blunt tip scissors with young children. Ripping old newspaper and wrapping paper is great too. Rip different colors into small pieces and then glue on to make a picture (kind of like a mosaic). Or just use it as confetti at your next party! Good for pre-school through adult. • Lacing/weaving/sewing: Using shoelaces to lace shoes or go in and out on a piece of plastic canvas is fun and beneficial for young children. Weaving with paper strips, yarn or basket material is also neat. There are even kits in hobby stores to weave pot holders and rugs. Remember weaving the paper placemats for parties when you were in grade school? It helped you develop your motor skills! Sewing in another terrific way to develop very precise and controlled motor movements. Whether you are mending a rip, hemming pants, doing needlework or embroidery, using the needle in very small stitches is great for your fingers and hands. Make sure to use plastic or blunt tip needles with young children. Good for young children through adult. • Stickers: As a teacher, I always use stickers on kid's work. But stickers are good for motor skills too. Draw a shape such as a circle or heart on a piece of paper. Then use small stickers to stick all the way around the shape. The peeling and placing of the stickers makes great finger control. You can also get stickers like farm animals and let kids create pictures after the stickers are on. Adults can peel a sticker and put it on the back of card and letter envelopes. Good for pre-school through adult. • Games: Board games are a fun activity for motor skills. Moving the pieces with your fingers builds strength. Playing cards and holding them in your hand builds hand strength. A great game is marbles. Shooting them and picking them up helps fingers. Try shooting marbles into a shoebox. Or place ten golf tees in some floral styrofoam. Then place a marble on each tee. It's not as easy as you think! The benefit to games is the bonus of socialization and problem solving when planning your next move. Good for young children through adults. • Music: Playing a musical instrument can develop motor skills. Whether you are strumming strings, pushing valves or playing keyboards you are strengthening your fingers and hands. Even percussion instruments can be beneficial. Added bonus: developing brain activity and making beautiful music. Good for older children through adults. • Cooking: Slicing, dicing, crunching and chopping are ways to develop motor skills. Slice and dice your onion into small pieces. Try snapping green beans into small chunks, unhulling peas or peanuts or picking the seeds out of watermelons (do this with tweezers). The squeezing of kitchen tongs to pick up or flip things is helpful as well as using chopsticks, or placing food on skewers or toothpicks. Good for older children through adults (although young children could snap beans). • Miscellaneous: Stretch rubber bands over doorknobs (be careful they don't snap back), screw nuts on and off of large bolts and pinching clothespins on and off of a clothesline (or any other thin object). Good for young children through adults. Try some of these with yourself, your children or grandchildren. It can make for some new, fun experiences and great memories!

Question: What Happens If We Don't Immunize?
Answer: Basically, one of two things could happen.
- If your child goes through life without ever being exposed to any of these diseases, nothing would happen.
- If your child were exposed to any of these diseases, there is a good chance he would get the disease. What happens then depends on the child and the disease. The child could get mildly ill and have to stay inside for a few days. He could get very sick and have to go to the hospital. At the very worst, he could die. In addition, he could also spread the disease to other children and adults who are not immune. If there were enough unprotected people in your community, the result could be an epidemic, with many people getting sick and some dying.

Wild elephants gather inexplicably, mourn death of "Elephant Whisperer"
Author and legendary conservationist Lawrence Anthony died March 7. His family tells of a solemn procession on March 10 that defies human explanation
BY: Rob Kerby, Senior Editor
trunk, touching the electric wires. The 8,000-volt charge sent a jolt shuddering through her bulk. She backed off. Then, with her family in tow, she strode the entire perimeter of the enclosure, pointing her trunk at the wire to check for vibrations from the electric current.
"As I went to bed that night, I noticed the elephants lining up along the fence, facing out towards their former home. It looked ominous. I was woken several hours later by one of the reserve's rangers, shouting, 'The elephants have gone! They've broken out!' The two adult elephants had worked as a team to fell a tree, smashing it onto the electric fence and then charging out of the enclosure.
"I scrambled together a search party and we raced to the border of the game reserve, but we were too late. The fence was down and the animals had broken out.
"They had somehow found the generator that powered the electric fence around the reserve. After trampling it like a tin can, they had pulled the concrete-embedded fence posts out of the ground like matchsticks, and headed north."
The reserve staff chased them – but had competition.
"We met a group of locals carrying large caliber rifles, who claimed the elephants were 'fair game' now. On our radios we heard the wildlife authorities were issuing elephant rifles to staff. It was now a simple race against time."
Anthony managed to get the herd back onto Thula Thula property, but problems had just begun:
"Their bid for freedom had, if anything, increased their resentment at being kept in captivity. Nana watched my every move, hostility seeping from every pore, her family behind her. There was no doubt that sooner or later they were going to make another break for freedom.
"Then, in a flash, came the answer. I would live with the herd. To save their lives, I would stay with them, feed them, talk to them. But, most importantly, be with them day and night. We all had to get to know each other."
It worked, as the book describes in detail, notes the London Daily Mail newspaper.
Anthony was later offered another troubled elephant – one that was all alone because the rest of her herd had been shot or sold, and which feared humans. He had to start the process all over again.
And as his reputation spread, more "troublesome" elephants were brought to Thula Thula.
So, how after Anthony's death, did the reserve's elephants — grazing miles away in distant parts of the park — know?
"A good man died suddenly," says Rabbi Leila Gal Berner, Ph.D., "and from miles and miles away, two herds of elephants, sensing that they had lost a beloved human friend, moved in a solemn, almost 'funereal' procession to make a call on the bereaved family at the deceased man's home."
"If there ever were a time, when we can truly sense the wondrous 'interconnectedness of all beings,' it is when we reflect on the elephants of Thula Thula. A man's heart's stops, and hundreds of elephants' hearts are grieving. This man's oh-so-abundantly loving heart offered healing to these elephants, and now, they came to pay loving homage to their friend."

FoxNews.com: Obama defeats Romney to win second term, vows he has 'more work to do'
President Obama won a second term in the White House Tuesday night, overcoming concerns about the fragile economic recovery to soundly defeat Republican nominee Mitt Romney.
"We've got more work to do," Obama declared, addressing a cheering crowd at his victory rally in Chicago early Wednesday morning. The president spoke to supporters at his campaign headquarters shortly after Romney called Obama to concede. Obama congratulated his opponent on a "hard-fought campaign."
After one of the nastiest political battles and most gridlocked terms in modern American history, the president vowed to reach out to the other side in a second term on everything from immigration to the deficit. He asked supporters to keep the "hope," and said that while the "passions" and "controversy" won't wane after Election Day, "progress will come in fits and starts."
"While our journey has been long, we have picked ourselves up, we have fought our way back and we know in our hearts that for the United States of America, the best is yet to come," the clearly fired-up president told the crowd.
Romney conceded shortly after midnight, delivering a brief speech to a subdued crowd of supporters at his Boston headquarters where he said he would "pray that the president will be successful in guiding our nation."
The former Massachusetts governor urged Washington's politicians to set aside the "bickering" and "political posturing" going forward, and "put the people before the politics."
"This election is over, but our principles endure," Romney said.
The president's projected victory came shortly after he was declared the winner in the crucial battleground of Ohio. The president was leading by a narrow margin in that state as returns continued to stream in overnight, but a streak of victories in other battlegrounds put him well over the 270 electoral votes required to win. The count, with the results from Florida still not in, stood at 303 electoral votes for Obama, to Romney's 206……..Read More

Fresh herbs are pretty and delicious, as well as easy to grow.
Here are some ideas for easy favors for the guests at your next garden party.
Scientifically, they all belong to the genus Rhododendron. From there, they break down thousands of species, varieties and cultivars. Fortunately, the same basic pruning principles apply to all of them. So, even if you aren't sure which kind of rhodie was planted in your garden, perhaps generations ago, these tips should help you keep it healthy and blooming beautifully for years to come.
Rhododendrons can range in size from tiny miniatures like R. impeditum, which gets no bigger than about a foot tall and wide, to towering, bushy trees that create colorful spring canopies above our heads. Their leaves may be shiny or dull, green, grey or variegated, fuzzy beneath or bare, curled at the edges or flat. Plus, you'll find a rhodie blossom in nearly every color of the rainbow. And, although we generally think of these plants as spring bloomers, some varieties like the 'Christmas Cheer' cultivar will bloom in the dead of winter. And those that bloom the earliest in the year will sometimes surprise us with a second bloom later in the fall. Plus, the adaptable evergreen rhodendron provides great year-round interest in just about any garden – just be sure to match your plant choice to your planting zone when buying your plants.Rhodies are fairly simple to prune. Although many can bounce back from a heavy cutting to the ground, it may take years to regrow. Instead, pruning a little bit each year is the ideal way to keep your rhodies and azaleas looking good all the time.
Take note: Rhododendrons will bloom even if you don't deadhead them. Deadheading, or removing flower clusters after they have begun to fade, is really more of an aesthetic choice. Think about it: plants have flowers that bloom, are pollinated and become seedpods. In nature, nobody is out there cutting spent flowers off wild shrubs. And those plants bloom year after year in an attempt to replicate themselves by forming new seed, which it hopes will form new plants. The same is true in your own garden. If you do choose to deadhead, try to remove spent flower heads right after blooming and before the tender branching buds begin to grow, or you may find yourself breaking lots of new growth accidentally.
Ideally, rhodies and azaleas are pruned like small, woody trees. If your rhodie hasn't been pruned in a while, you may find you have lots of small cuts to make. Once you do this first big clean up on your shrub, the work required in subsequent years should be much less. Although some would argue that evergreen azaleas can make a lovely sheared hedge, I will caution that if sheared incorrectly azalea hedges will not bloom. Ideally, these plants are pruned to their natural form rather than sheared into some arbitrary shape.
Before beginning to prune your rhodies, consider spreading a large tarp or old sheet under the shrub where you can drop all of your cuttings. This will allow you to work more quickly, and it will make cleaning up all the trimmings easy at the end of the day.
To begin -- at just about any time of year -- remove any dead material from the interior of the plant. Azaleas, in particular, are notorious for building up lots of dead twigs on their inside branches. This happens because the evergreen leaves shade the interior of the plant. When those interior leaves become so shaded that they are unable to photosynthesize, the plant lets them whither rather than continue to draw valuable assets from the rest of the plant. Clearing out this material will improve the look of the plant while also allowing more light and airflow into the interior of the plant, which helps keep down potential disease issues.
The next pruning steps are best performed as the rhodie is blooming or just after it has finished its primary bloom. If you prune just before the plant blooms, you risk removing that year's flowers. If you prune several months after flowering, you risk removing the flower buds forming for the next year's bloom.
Once you have removed the dead material, you should be able to see if the plant has any broken branches, branches rubbing against each other or branches growing in directions other than away from the trunk of the plant. These are the next to be removed. When cutting these branches out, be sure to remove the entire stem to the junction where it meets another stem, leaving the little raised ridge at this junction intact on the plant. Most cuts can be made with your bypass hand shears, but be sure to have a folding handsaw in your pocket for any larger branches. And, ideally, remove no more than one-third of the plant's living branches in one year.
Once you have finished with the initial cleaning of the interior of your rhodie, the last thing to do is prune for shape. You may notice that when rhodies open new branch buds after flowering, they often send up several new branches at one time from below the flower. This can make for heavy, drooping shrubs. In these cases, consider removing one or two of the outermost branch extensions, leaving one or two in place. Always select the weakest or most oddly branched options for removal. And, with all cuts on rhodies, make sure to remove the entire shoot, leaving no stumpy growth behind.

An Interview with Sara Young, author of My Enemy's Cradle
Cyrla lives with her Dutch relatives in Nazi-occupied Holland. She has been
successfully hiding the fact that she is half-Jewishuntil neighbors threaten to
expose her identity. Through an cruel twist of fate, Cyrla enters a Lebensborn
as her pregnant cousin, Anneke. Cyrla wants to keep her child, though, so she
resolves to leave the maternity home before the baby is born. But an unexpected
visit from the German soldier who fathered Anneke's baby complicates her plan to
escape. My Enemy's Cradle is a story of love and loss, sacrifice and survival.
How much did you know about the Lebensborn program before you began working on My Enemy's Cradle? What about this relatively unknown episode of history appealed to you as a writer?
I knew nothing about it before I took a walk with a friend, a WWII buff, who mentioned it. Right away I was shocked that something this large, that affected so many people, was largely unknownthat was the first appeal. But soon, as a writer, I began to wonder why no one had set a novel in such a ripe situation: a Lebensborn home was a natural crucible ...

Leave 'the American People' Out of This
Ted Cruz and his pals don't have a mandate to 'defund.'
Can we please leave "the American people" out of the debate over defunding the Affordable Care Act (better known as Obamacare)? I'm not talking about the citizens of this great nation, but rather the politically self-righteous verbal tick our elected officials and commentators employ in an effort to invest in themselves the authority of the electorate.
So for example, Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz, the "defund" ringmaster, said earlier this week that while his grand idea has little chance in the Senate, "House Republicans must stand firm, hold their ground, and continue to listen to the American people." And on Fox News on Wednesday night, Cruz praised "House leadership for listening to the American people," adding that, "We've got to respond to the American people." Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Cruz said, "needs to listen to" – you guessed it! – "the American people."
Appearing on the same show, Utah GOP Sen. Mike Lee declared that "the American people are coming together, and they're standing together and they're saying, please defund this law." He went on to praise House Speaker John Boehner for standing "with the American people. We now need to stand with him and with the people and defund this law." And so on. (Boehner's House this morning actually did pass a continuing resolution which would keep the government open through Dec.15 while defunding the Affordable Care Act; the bill stands no chance of passing the Senate.)
It must be bracing to carry a mandate to speak on behalf of the American people ... even if, as is the case with Cruz, Lee and their tea party pals, they don't have anything of the sort. Instead they have the insufferable pretension of one: They alone speak for the people because, well, they say so. Their belief in their own popular righteousness recalls Mr. Dooley's definition of a fanatic: someone who "does what he thinks th' Lord wud do if He knew th' facts iv th' case."
[See a collection of political cartoons on the tea party.]
And from whence does their mandate to speak so authoritatively for "the American people" derive? Cruz referenced an Internet petition which garnered 1.3 million signatures. "Look, today's decision is a victory for the American people," he said. "Those 1.3 million Americans … that went and signed that petition and spoke out." That might explain the difference between the American people and Cruz's "the American people": He defines the term as people who share his radical agenda.
More broadly Cruz, Lee and company would presumably point to polls showing that Obamacare remains broadly unpopular. But that reflects, charitably, a superficial knowledge of the polling. Take the Pew Research Center/USA Today poll released earlier this week. Fully 53 percent disapprove of the Affordable Care Act as opposed to only 42 percent who approve. (The Real Clear Politics average of polls has 38 percent approving and 52 percent disapproving.) But dig deeper and you'll find that that 53 percent is split over how to deal with the law they don't like – more than half of them, 27 percent, want pols to try to make the law work; a lesser number, 23 percent, want to see elected officials try to make it fail. In other words something like one-quarter of the actual American people stand with Cruz, Lee and the rest of the fanatics. Some mandate.
This is not an unusual result. Even a laughably skewed poll which Heritage Action – the activist branch of the Heritage Foundation – commissioned to bolster the "defund" push found that 52 percent of Americans (or more precisely 52 percent of Americans in a selection of 10 GOP-leaning House districts) think that implementation of the law should go forward, while only 44.5 percent favor repeal. This makes intuitive sense: Not everyone who dislikes the law does so because they're conservative; some portion of the law's critics is progressives disappointed that it wasn't more liberal.
But there are a couple of more important points to be made about polls. For one thing, the most authoritative poll taken in the last year occurred in November, at great expense. It had a sample size of more than 125 million and the results were not particularly close: The candidate who campaigned on repealing Obamacare lost by four percentage points – nearly five million votes – to the fellow who signed Obamacare into law. You'd think that if the American people saw stopping Obamacare as a cause worth fighting for "with every ounce of breath we have," as Cruz put it Thursday, they might have so indicated at the ballot box. And yet Cruz, Lee and their cronies seem to see in this result a mandate from "the American people" (if not the American people) to obstruct the law to the maximum extent, even to the extent of shutting down the government to stop it.
[See a collection of political cartoons on Obamacare.]
And while the tea party right's fidelity to the will of "the American people" as expressed by more recent public opinion polls is admirable, it takes on a far more self-serving aspect when considered in light of other polls which left people like Ted Cruz and Mike Lee unmoved. For example 86 percent of Americans support background checks for people buying guns; on immigration reform, 64 percent of Americans support the comprehensive bill that the Senate passed and 78 percent support a qualified path to citizenship for illegal immigrants. Oh, and 71 percent of Americans oppose shutting down the government, according to a poll conducted over the summer for House Republicans. For those keeping track at home, those figures are more impressive than the 50-something opposed to Obamacare – perhaps no one has told Cruz, Lee et al. about these judgments from "the American people?"
The list goes on. The fact is, as I have written over and over and over and over, there are a number of prominent issues where the GOP seems immune to the charms of "the American people."
And to be clear, this is not a partisan problem. Pols in both parties are promiscuous with the desires of "the American people," while none have a monopoly on it. So let's agree that it's time to retire "the American people" – or more specifically their demands and expectations – from the political lexicon.

These techniques require little to moderate skill using graphics programs. They are great if you have limited graphic design skills or for those times when you just need to throw something together fast but you still want to avoid that "canned clip art" look.
If one piece of clip art is good 2, 3, or 4 are even better, right? Could be. Try these illustrated repeating ideas. Take a single piece of art and make several duplicates.
- Repetition of an Image Reinforces Message
Tie the number of copies of an image to the numbers in your text.
- Resize, Recolor, Reverse to Turn One Image Into Many
Use duplicates of varying sizes, colors, and orientations to multiply the usefulness of a single clip art image.
- Make a Single Image Stand Out with Dramatic Contrast
Use color to make a dramatic change to a single copy of your clip art.
The next time you find yourself lamenting your lack of clip art, lack of skill, or lack of time repeat yourself. Find that single piece of clip art and make a statement by using it 2, 3, 4, or a dozen times.

The Daily Item
LEWISBURG — Gordon Thompson, 89, of Skyline Avenue, originally from England, passed away on Saturday, Dec. 8, 2012, at his home.
He was born Aug. 3, 1923, in Warrington, Lancashire County, England, a son of the late Anne Bina Thompson.
In 1938, at the age of 15, he ran away from home because he could not continue his education and joined the American Merchant Marines. He served with the Merchant Marines for 11 years, starting as an oiler and achieving the rank of junior engineer. Gordon loved books and reading, but he loved history and the law above all. He was self educated and taught American History to the service men during the second World War. Gordon was also a National Maritime Union organizer; and was on the Board of Trustees for the National Marine Historical Society. He took his last run on a ship in 1948 and left the Merchant Marines settling in New York.
In 1949, he founded and operated the David J. Thompson Mailing Corp in Queens, N.Y. In 1990, he moved the business to Berwick. He opened the Gordon Thompson Learning Center in Bloomsburg so his employees would have a place to take their children and keep them safe while they worked.
Everything Gordon did in his life was because it was the right thing to do. He did things to help make the world better. Gordon believed highly in education and set up a trust fund in England to help the less fortunate children receive an education. He was an AA speaker multiple times over and was on the first board of directors for the Fortune Society, which is dedicated to prison reform. Gordon was an active participant in the trade union movement and the civil rights movement.
Surviving are one daughter, Sharon G. Thompson, of New York; one grandson, Edward J. Thompson-Hiross, of New York; one son, David J. Thompson, of Sugarloaf; Gordon's wife of nine years, Srihana "Oci" (Bone) Thompson, of Lewisburg; two daughters, Linda Thompson, of Lewisburg and Dewi Orianna, of Indonesia; and one granddaughter, Agatha Nugroho, of Indonesia.
Friends will be received from 5 to 7 p.m. Thursday at Cronrath-Grenoble Funeral Home, South Second and St. Louis streets, Lewisburg, where a memorial service will be held at 7 p.m. with the Rev. Dr. Gary Hackenberg, retired United Church of Christ pastor, officiating.
The family will provide the flowers and suggests contributions in Gordon's name be made to "The Gordon Thompson/ Molly Nelson Maddock Trust", c/o Srihana Thompson, 391 Skyline Ave., Lewisburg, PA 17837. The trust provides a summer learning and educational experience for the impoverished kids from his home in England.

The University of Texas-Pan American announces the establishment of the Josefina (Josie) Garcia Endowed Memorial Scholarship in Elementary Education.
|Josefina (Josie) Garcia
The scholarship is funded by a $25,000 gift to the University by her husband G.G. Garcia and their children: Josie Garcia, Rosa Cady and Gilbert Garcia.
The scholarship memorializes the late Mrs. Garcia, a dedicated educator who gave 40 years of her life to the public school system, helped foster the talents of countless budding teachers, and practiced the philosophy that children always come first.
"Our family felt that the best way to preserve her memory was by assisting young people who are aspiring to become elementary school teachers," said G.G. Garcia. "She enjoyed her career as a teacher, and loved children."
Mrs. Garcia was born in 1929 in Laredo, and graduated from Martin High School in 1947. She graduated from Texas Woman's University in Denton (then Texas State College for Women) in 1951 with a bachelor's degree in elementary education, and began her teaching career in Laredo at MacDonnell and Leyendecker Elementary Schools. In 1954, she received her master's degree from Texas A&I University.
That same year, she married, and relocated with her husband to San Benito, where she taught at Frank Roberts and Fred Booth Elementary Schools. In 1958, the family – which now included two baby girls – moved to Brownsville, where she taught at Cromack and Garden Park Elementary Schools.
In the summer of 1974, the family, which now included a son, moved to Edinburg, where she taught at Lamar Elementary School until her retirement in 1990.
|Pictured above from left to right: Rosa Garcia Cady; Gilbert Garcia; Dr. Hilda Medrano, dean for the College of Education; G.G. Garcia; Josefina Garcia; and Roland S. Arriola, vice president for the Division of External Affairs.
During her tenure there, UT Pan American placed its elementary education students at Lamar, where they gained classroom experience under the mentorship of the school's most seasoned teachers. As such a mentor, Mrs. Garcia encouraged and influenced many current teachers.
Roland S. Arriola, vice president for External Affairs at UTPA, said this donation will help students accomplish their goals of becoming school teachers, and at the same time, allow Mrs. Garcia's memory to live on.
"The University strives to provide the best education for our students, but we cannot do it alone," Arriola said. "It is because of generous gifts like the one from the Garcia family, that we can help students fulfill their dreams of receiving a college degree."
In the spirit of her great commitment to education, this scholarship will provide assistance and encouragement to young people who aspire to be elementary school teachers, helping to guide children through the most important formative stage of their lives.

NEW YORK (TheWrap.com) - Clarence Jones, the advisor to the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. who co-wrote an early draft of the "I Have A Dream Speech," recounted the story Monday of how King delivered the most famous part of the speech spontaneously.
Jones was part of a Television Critics Association panel Monday about PBS's "The March." Denzel Washington provides the narration for director John Akomfrah's PBS film about the 1963 March on Washington. It airs on August 27, the eve of the 50th anniversary of the march.

"Very few people know - most people do not know - that the speech that he gave was not the speech that he had intended to give," said Jones, author of the books "What Would Martin Say?" and "Behind the Dream: The Making of the Speech That Transformed a Nation."
The speech might have turned out very differently if not for an exhortation from King's favorite gospel singer, Mahalia Jackson, Jones said.
"As he was reading from the text of his prepared remarks, there came a point when Mahalia Jackson, who was sitting on the platform, said, 'Tell them about the dream, Martin! Tell them about the dream," Jones continued.
"Now I have often speculated that she had heard him talk in other places talk and make reference to the dream. On June 23, 1963, in Detroit, he had made very express reference to the dream.
"When Mahalia shouted to him, I was standing about 50 feet behind him... and I saw it happening in real time. He just took the text of his speech and moved it to the left side of the lecturn. ... And i said to somebody standing next to me: 'These people don't know it, but they're about to go to church.' I said that because I could see his body language change from the rear. Where he had been reading, like giving a lecture, but then going into his Baptist preacher mode. ...
"Had there been anyone else - anyone else - who had shouted anything to him - I think he would have been a little taken aback. I'm not so sure he would have departed from the text of his speech. But Mahalia Jackson was his favorite gospel singer. When Mahalia said that it was almost like a mandate to respond."

Watch Ron Paul's Farewell Address!
On November 14, 2012, retiring Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) gave his farewell speech to Congress.
In a public career that included three stints in Congress (1976-1977; 1979-1985; and 1997-present) and a run for president as the Libertarian Candidate (1988), no living elected official has done more to advance the ideals of limited government and a libertarian approach to federal government.
His longshot bids for the Republican presidential nomination in 2008 and 2012 radically altered the national conversation on entitlements, fiscal and monetary policy, foreign policy, and crony capitalism, and his success with online fundraising and organization has set the example that others will be following for years to come. The groups he has created, including Young Americans for Liberty and Campaign for Liberty, will continue to grow in size and influence.
Paul used his final address in the House of Representatives to draw attention to growing violations of civil liberties, a chronic economic crisis brought on out-of-control government spending and debt, the ease with which the country goes to (undeclared) war, and the immoral willingness to use violence to achieve desired social ends.
As Paul biographer and Reason staffer Brian Doherty noted, Ron Paul is "a true American original. No politician talks like this, and I suspect it will be a long time before another does. Ideas like this will be much harder to find in the House of Representatives with Paul gone, and we will all be the poorer for it."
Go here for Reason's coverage of the congressman known as "Dr. No" for his refusal to sanction legislation the he felt was not authorized by the U.S. Constitution.

Ron Paul predicted the economic crisis in 2003. Had the GOP listened we wouldn't be suffering through this historic recession/depression. An economy that ushered in 8 years of Obama and the votes for Obamacare. Google "ron paul" "housing" "2003" for the video.
He was very choppy in this speech. He kept referring back to his notes and mis-stating words. That is definitely not his usual style. I was wondering what was going on. But then I figured: after all these years in Congress this is surely a very emotional thing for him.
