Elizabeth Grant was born in London, England. She has lived in England, Scotland, South Africa, Monte Carlo and Canada.
Elizabeth established her company, Elizabeth Grant Int. Inc in 1958 in London, England at a time when it was most unusual for women to be in business. Through sheer determination and exceptional perseverance she was responsible for the development of the company from a home based business to a multi-million dollar global corporation.
Elizabeth Grant did not always have the flawless skin she has today. Damaged during the Second World War, her skin was a constant source of personal shame and embarrassment - to the point where she avoided going out in public and living her life fully. All of that changed in 1948 when Elizabeth discovered a natural substance that was used to treat war wounds. She had it specially formulated with other ingredients and began applying it to her damaged skin. Gradually, but very noticeably, the transformation occurred. Within eight months, Elizabeth's skin had improved remarkably. She threw away the dark glasses and drooping hats that she wore whenever she went out in public...and started living again! On the strength of her miracle blend, Torricelumn, and her own determination and perseverance, Elizabeth evolved the company from a home-based business to a multi-million dollar global corporation. Formerly available by special order only, the Elizabeth Grant line of skin care and beauty products is now available at select retail locations in Canada, United States, United Kingdom, Netherlands, Germany, United Arab Emirates, South Africa, Australia, Japan and Poland.

ALBANY -- Rick Lazio, who struggled to capture the backing of some traditional upstate areas in his 2000 U.S. Senate race, has spent much time upstate over the past year wooing the region's Republicans in his quest for the party's gubernatorial nomination.
So it was curious today when Lazio unveiled a panel of 21 scholars, businessmen and others to advise his campaign on how to "fundamentally change New York" and only two of the people on that list are from upstate.
And those two live in the Albany area.
Lazio said he is honored to have the counsel of "so many intelligent and knowledgeable individuals" on his policy committee, including financiers, scholars, lawyers and others.
His big name on the list: Henry Kissinger.
The list includes advisers on topics like education, the economy, law enforcement, small business development, as well as advisers on foreign policy, counter-terrorism and Israeli affairs.
The sole upstate residents are Gene Zeltmann, a former New York Power Authority president who will advise Lazio on energy, and Roger Hannay, a small business adviser who runs a manufacturing company outside Albany. Why does the policy group of 21 include only two people from upstate?
"Our policy committee is an evolving group that will include talented and diverse New Yorkers from different backgrounds and geographic locations as our campaign to build a better New York continues," responded Barney Keller, a Lazio spokesman.

(a) Real property shall be deemed abandoned by the lessee, within the meaning of Section 1951.2, and the lease shall terminate if the lessor gives written notice of his belief of abandonment as provided in this section and the lessee fails to give the lessor written notice, prior to the date of termination specified in the lessor's notice, stating that he does not intend to abandon the real property and stating an address at which the lessee may be served by certified mail in any action for unlawful detainer of the real property.
(b) The lessor may give a notice of belief of abandonment to the lessee pursuant to this section only where the rent on the property has been due and unpaid for at least 14 consecutive days and the lessor reasonably believes that the lessee has abandoned the property. The date of termination of the lease shall be specified in the lessor's notice and shall be not less than 15 days after the notice is served personally or, if mailed, not less than 18 days after the notice is deposited in the mail.
(c) The lessor's notice of belief of abandonment shall be personally delivered to the lessee or sent by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to the lessee at his last known address and, if there is reason to believe that the notice sent to that address will not be received by the lessee, also to such other address, if any, known to the lessor where the lessee may reasonably be expected to receive the notice.
(d) The notice of belief of abandonment shall be in substantially the following form:
(1) Your intent not to abandon the real property.
(2) An address at which you may be served by certified mail in any action for unlawful detainer of the real property. You are required to pay the rent due and unpaid on this real property as required by the lease, and your failure to do so can lead to a court proceeding against you. Dated: ________ _______________________ (Signature of lessor/landlord) _______________________ (Type or print name of lessor/landlord) _______________________ (Address to which lessee/tenant is to send notice)
(e) The real property shall not be deemed to be abandoned pursuant to this section if the lessee proves any of the following:
(1) At the time the notice of belief of abandonment was given, the rent was not due and unpaid for 14 consecutive days.
(2) At the time the notice of belief of abandonment was given, it was not reasonable for the lessor to believe that the lessee had abandoned the real property. The fact that the lessor knew that the lessee left personal property on the real property does not, of itself, justify a finding that the lessor did not reasonably believe that the lessee had abandoned the real property.
(3) Prior to the date specified in the lessor's notice, the lessee gave written notice to the lessor stating his intent not to abandon the real property and stating an address at which he may be served by certified mail in any action for unlawful detainer of the real property.
(4) During the period commencing 14 days before the time the notice of belief of abandonment was given and ending on the date the lease would have terminated pursuant to the notice, the lessee paid to the lessor all or a portion of the rent due and unpaid on the real property.
(f) Nothing in this section precludes the lessor or the lessee from otherwise proving that the real property has been abandoned by the lessee within the meaning of Section 1951.2.
(g) Nothing in this section precludes the lessor from serving a notice requiring the lessee to pay rent or quit as provided in Sections 1161 and 1162 of the Code of Civil Procedure at any time permitted by those sections, or affects the time and manner of giving any other notice required or permitted by law. The giving of the notice provided by this section does not satisfy the requirements of Sections 1161 and 1162 of the Code of Civil Procedure.
(a) The remedy described in this section is available only if the lease provides for this remedy. In addition to any other type of provision used in a lease to provide for the remedy described in this section, a provision in the lease in substantially the following form satisfies this subdivision: "The lessor has the remedy described in California Civil Code Section 1951.4 (lessor may continue lease in effect after lessee's breach and abandonment and recover rent as it becomes due, if lessee has right to sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations)."
(b) Even though a lessee of real property has breached the lease and abandoned the property, the lease continues in effect for so long as the lessor does not terminate the lessee's right to possession, and the lessor may enforce all the lessor's rights and remedies under the lease, including the right to recover the rent as it becomes due under the lease, if any of the following conditions is satisfied:
(1) The lease permits the lessee, or does not prohibit or otherwise restrict the right of the lessee, to sublet the property, assign the lessee's interest in the lease, or both.
(2) The lease permits the lessee to sublet the property, assign the lessee's interest in the lease, or both, subject to express standards or conditions, provided the standards and conditions are reasonable at the time the lease is executed and the lessor does not require compliance with any standard or condition that has become unreasonable at the time the lessee seeks to sublet or assign. For purposes of this paragraph, an express standard or condition is presumed to be reasonable; this presumption is a presumption affecting the burden of proof.
(3) The lease permits the lessee to sublet the property, assign the lessee's interest in the lease, or both, with the consent of the lessor, and the lease provides that the consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or the lease includes a standard implied by law that consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
(c) For the purposes of subdivision (b), the following do not constitute a termination of the lessee's right to possession:
(1) Acts of maintenance or preservation or efforts to relet the property.
(2) The appointment of a receiver upon initiative of the lessor to protect the lessor's interest under the lease.

"From Dream to Reality"
Dennis Lovett - Acting Director of Corporate Affairs, Virgin Trains
5th November 2002
Written by A.J. Spencer & B.J.F. Clark
Continuing with the "Red Revolution" theme, the November 2003 lecture to the Locomotive and Carriage Institute was entitled "From Dream to Reality" and was given by the well-known railwayman and author Dennis Lovett. Dennis is currently the acting Director of Corporate Affairs for Virgin Trains and the Institute is grateful that he took the time out to come and speak to us. His in-depth lecture covered both Virgin Train's "Operation Princess", the transformation of CrossCountry rail services and the ongoing project to rejuvenate the West Coast Main Line (WCML) with new "Pendolino" titling trains and substantial infrastructure upgrades.
The following is an account of Denniss lecture:
Whatever the arguments for and against the selling off of British Rail, subsequent investment in the railways has been one of the tangible benefits of privatisation. The Euston-Liverpool/Manchester section of the WCML was originally modernised and electrified in a 175 million project that stretched from 1959 to 1967 but by the mid-1980s this original section was beginning to show signs of its age and was in serious need of further investment. Despite some staff/public service runs from 1981, technical problems and a lack of resources led to the abandonment of the Advanced Passenger Train (APT) project by BR meaning that the promise of 60 new titling trains and 140mph running for the WCML by 1984 had failed to transpire, so the route continued to be worked by (the very capable) Class 87s, and Class 86s. Despite upgrades such as the construction of Class 90 electric locomotives, further MK III coaches, and Driving Van Trailers (DVTs) to allow push-pull operation, it was clear that major investment was required and all signalling and track was due for renewal in the 1990s. A bid by InterCity for a fleet of 30 "IC250" 155mph trains to run on renewed infrastructure was rejected by the Treasury in July 1992 and a further bid in 1993 for 10 IC225s for priority WCML workings was also turned down. Similarly, the InterCity CrossCountry services had been run using "second hand" stock and locomotives with the operation being crossed-subsidised by other parts of BR.
Virgin successfully bid to operate both the WCML and the CrossCountry franchises on the basis of substantial investment in new trains and upgraded infrastructure:
Virgin CrossCountry (VXC) - "Operation Princess" - The New Dawn
A fifteen-year CrossCounty franchise was awarded to Virgin Trains on 15th January 1997 following their successful bid based on 6 delivery points:
The pledge to purchase a new fleet of trains for VXC was duly met when, on the 4th December 1998, a 1.06 billion "build and maintain" order was placed with Bombardier Transportation for 78 new "Voyager" trains. 34 of these trains were to be 125-mph Class 220 4-car non-tilting Voyagers, whilst 44 were to be 125mph Class 221 5-car tilting "Super Voyagers", giving a total build of 352 coaches.
Design and body shell construction was undertaken at Brugge in Belgium, whilst the bogies came from France and the final fitting out of the trains was conducted at both Brugge and the former Procor site at Horbury Junction Wakefield, Yorkshire.
As well as a design speed of 125, a sports-car type acceleration of 0-60mph in just over a minute (which is twice as fast as an HST) allow Voyagers to reduce journey times in line with franchise commitments and helps to push competitiveness with domestic flights. It is intended that 60% of the VXC routes will be cleared for 100-125mph running, once Railtrack (now Network Rail) have completed upgrading work. The Voyagers offer many on-train facilities not previously seen before in the UK, including digital seat reservations, at seat audio entertainment and an on-board shop!
The first complete Voyager train was finished in Belgium in autumn 2000, and the first operational Voyager arrived in the UK for testing in January 2001. A press run was staged in Belgium, between Brugge and Oostende also some testing and crew training took place. The first public run was an unadvertised relief' service from Birmingham to Reading on May 21st 2001 and the official service launch of the Voyagers was made by Sir Richard Branson on the 5th June 2001. Completed Voyager deliveries allowed VCX loco. hauled services to end on 19th of September 2002, with the major timetable change and re-launch that formed the basis of VXC "Operation Princess" commencing on 30th of September 2002.
VXC is the only national Train Operating Company (TOC) and the planning behind Operation Princess took four years of negotiation; with 7 different Railtrack Zones, 18 other TOCs, the Strategic Rail Authority (SRA), and 150 councils in 235 MPs constituencies. Railtrack also spent 200 million on infrastructure upgrades in advance of the launch of the new CrossCountry timetable.
Dennis conceded that, such was the success of VXC in increasing passenger numbers by 40% since the launch of Operation Princess, overcrowding has become a serious problem on many services and in the long-term it would be necessary to lengthen Class 220 train formations from 4 to 5 cars. He also noted that the first issue to resolve here was a decision as to who will pay for this!
As is nowadays the norm in all modern traction and rolling-stock orders, 690 million of the total project costs were attributed for the maintenance side of the build and maintain type agreement with Bombardier Transportation. As part of this contract to maintain the Voyagers for the duration of the VXC franchise, Bombardier constructed a new 30 million purpose-built depot for the fleet known as "Central Rivers" situated at Barton-under-Needwood, near Burton-on-Trent close to the heart of most of the VXC routes. This was the first depot constructed or utilised solely for CrossCountry services and is reputedly a very impressive maintenance site to visit by virtue of its clean and organised interior and efficiency of operation.
West Coast Main Line (WCML) - The "Red Revolution"
Virgin commenced running a fifteen-year franchise on the West Coast route on the 9th of March 1997. For the Euston - Holyhead route, four four-car Class 221s have been purchased as part of the VXC deal are due to replace HST sets in 2003. For the rest of the WCML services a new 6,800 hp tilting "Pendolino" train will provide the "Red Revolution". Dennis noted that Virgin Trains operates 17 stations on the WCML and that these have been upgraded as part of the WCML project. During 1999 contracts worth a total of 1.2 billion were placed with Alstom/Fiat for the supply and maintenance of 53 Pendolino trains; 44 eight-car trains (seating 365 people) and 9 nine-car trains, with an option to order an extra 44 standard class vehicles for 44 million to make all Pendolincs nine-cars long. Following a review of the WCML project by Virgin Trains in 2002, it was decided to take up the option of 44 further coaches, each of which can hold 76 passengers, and they will be delivered at the end of the production run. The first two Pendolinos, 390 001 Virgin Pioneer and 390 002 Red Revolution, were built by Alstom within a year of December 1999 exclusively for pre-series type testing and where not fitted out internally. The first Pendolino to actually be accepted by Virgin was 390 006 on 21st June 2001.
Testing of the Pendolinos continues and, at the time of writing, is concentrated on Alstom's Midlands Test Centre at Ashfordby and on the so called "Test Site A" between Carnforth and Carlisle on the WCML.
Driver training began in July 2002, and on the 21st of that month the first 125mph run of a Pendolino on the WCML took place between Carlisle and Carnforth. On the 13'h October 2002 a 10% overspeed test saw 390002 reach 138mph between Carlisle and Tebay.
With the WCML upgrade project massively over budget and behind schedule, the original plan to run at 140mph by June 2005 with 11 paths an hour was delayed indefinitely after a review of the upgrade project by the SRA in 2002. Costs were reworked and fixed at 9.8 billion, but a lower running speed of 125mph was decided upon as part of a cost compromise. It remains to be seen if Pendolino's will ever see regular service at their design speed of 140mph.
A demonstration run of the Pendolino was made on 16th December 2002 when set number 390 014 ran from Euston to Manchester Piccadilly (departing at.10:05) carrying 230 special guests and VIPs. The train was named "Pendolino City of Manchester" by the Lord Mayor of Manchester, Councillor Roy Walters, on arrival at Piccadilly station. What turned out to be a "minimal" service level introduction commenced on 27th January 2003 when Pendolino set 390 014 worked the 06:58 Manchester Piccadilly - Euston and a return 16:20 Euston - Manchester Piccadilly working. This train continues to be a Pendolino working but only on the Thursday of each week!
All passenger-carrying workings so far have been in non-tilt mode and are limited to 110mph maximum speed. Although Pendolinos were used during the Commonwealth Games in Manchester during the summer of 2002, these were only short-distance shuttle workings and the Manchester - London runs can be considered as the first long-distance work for the train. Further Pendolino services have been added to the timetable, these include a Wolverhampton - Euston service (operating one day a week), Pendolino's have now reached Liverpool, Glasgow and just a few days ago Edinburgh.
In the ever-changing world of the modern railway industry, it is interesting to consider the events and decisions that have occurred since the lecture was given in November last year. Operation Princess on the Virgin CrossCountry service was not a success, the increased number of shorter trains lead to massive delays and overcrowding the term "full and standing" becoming synonymous with travel by a Virgin Voyager! Also, there was a problem for a while with sea spray shutting down the Voyages' engines as they ran along the sea wall at Dawlish, but this was overcome within a month or so by software changes to the train's TMS undertaken by Bombardier engineers. The ambitions timetable has already been scaled back at the start of the summer 2003 timetable, following review by the SRA, in an attempt to improve the reliability and robustness of the CrossCountry service. It is also noted that the HST rebuild "Challenger" project has been dropped.

This is possible primarily by staying physically active during the weight loss period, by reaching a specific metabolic state known as ketosis and by use of certain medications which help control the "appetite center" in the brain.Read More

DOOLEY QUOTED: Odds and ends from UT-Martin week
Some leftovers from Derek Dooley's week meeting the media ahead of his debut. Don't worry though, there's much, much more to go on Austin Translation leading into the opener against UT-Martin.
-- On keeping a level head: "I'm not always even-keeled. You just see me when I am. That's why we close practices, so you all can always see me even-keeled. I won't be even-keeled in the games. I don't have it right now because I'm really worried about practice, and that's all I'm concerned about."
-- On whether his offensive line will mirror the defense and feature a committee approach: "It's not, in fact it's the exact opposite. I'm not a big committee guy, just philosophically. Committees are what slow everything down -- we have a lot of committees here at UT. Lot of people, lot of committees, so the committee approach at d-line is not what you want to structure, but the offensive line, we have five guys who really have performed consistently well together. We're going to try to keep that continuity together the best we can. That doesn't mean we won't play some of the young guys, and it doesn't mean we're afraid to, but it's just a little different on the offensive line."
-- On the move for Gerald Williams to defensive tackle: "He's been great all summer, been a team guy and I know he's probably had issues prior to us coming here. But like a lot of these guys, it starts with communicating what the expectation is and not looking the other way when they don't meet the expectation and buying into the team concept. I think Gerald has been phenomenal at that, and he wants to play. His attitude has been great, and because of that he's gotten better every day -- he really has. In the last scrimmage he was our most productive defensive lineman."
Do you know if any recruits are coming to knoxville this weekend?

The forum is designed to provide information about important health care issues through speakers, exhibits, and workshops, said Armando G. Dominguez, forum coordinator and research assistant for the UTPA Center on Aging and Health.
The forum, to be held at the UTPA Annex located at 2412 S. Closner in Edinburg, will also offer participants an opportunity to obtain information on health care issues as well as interact with people who are concerned with improving the health and health care services for the Hispanic elderly, Dominguez said.
"It's a time to exchange ideas, discuss the best practice models related to health care, and to consider health policy issues and effective advocacy strategies," Dominguez added. "Our goal is to provide a voice for the Hispanic elderly at a time when it is most needed. This forum offers an opportunity for these people to address the many critical health care issues that confront us and are part of the present health care debate."
According to Dominguez, key indications show that the country's health has greatly improved in the last two decades, but despite encouraging news, Hispanic seniors suffer from certain diseases at up to five times the rate of other groups.
For more information on the forum, contact the UTPA Center on Aging and Health at 956/381-2138.

Matutoane, Leanetse Paul (2009) A study of employee satisfaction in two manufacturing facilities of General Motors South Africa. Masters thesis, Rhodes University.
Employed individuals spend a majority of their waking time at work. Therefore, within an individual's working lifetime, most hours will be spent at work. Subsequently, theories abound purporting that humans are hedonistic beings. Considering that on average people spend most of their working lives in a working environment, it then stands to reason that people should endeavor to be satisfied at work if humans are always in pursuit of happiness. The questions arise as thus: what makes people satisfied at work, does being satisfied with the job result in less turnover, and is that the only reason that they would endeavor to prolong their employment, are older employees more satisfied with their jobs than younger employees, is a plant with an older workforce more satisfied than a similar plant with a younger workforce? This study attempts to find an answer to these and other related questions. It was conducted on employees of two plants of an automotive manufacturer based in Port Elizabeth, a town in the Eastern Cape province of South Africa. The Job Descriptive Index (JDI) was used to collect the feelings of 92 employees in different shops and analyzed to check for differences in satisfaction levels. No significant differences were found between the plants, shops and age categories surveyed.

RAM, Samsung SATA DVD, 250 GB WD SATA HDD. Windows Vista Home Basic OEM DVD.
Entered CMOS setup to use the 'CDROM' as the first boot device. Inserted
OEM DVD and rebooted. Windows message appears indicating that files are
being opened. After several minutes message appears that a file is missing
or corrupt on a path that includes WIndows32 sub-directory. Select the
option reached by hitting Enter key and am able to tab to inspect memory.
Immediately receive message that there are problems with memory.
Turn off machine and sleep on it.
Next day, insert Windows XP install disk and everything progresses
successfully. SATA HDD gets formatted while I walk away for dinner. Return

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Oct. 15, 2013
Bridge construction closes section of I-670 this weekend
Girder installation begins Friday night
The City of Kansas City, Mo., Public Works Department is notifying motorists that Interstate 670 on the south side of the downtown Kansas City loop will close Friday, Oct. 18 at 8 p.m. The closure, which will end the evening of Sunday, Oct. 20, will allow crews to place girders for the new Main Street bridge over Interstate 670.
The $2.75 million project will replace the Main Street bridge crossing with a new, three-lane concrete bridge over I-670. It will improve vertical clearance and address ongoing traffic needs in the area. In addition, crews will widen sidewalks on the bridge, improve crosswalks and ramps on Truman Road, and install updated lighting and decorative fencing on the bridge.
Detour signs will be posted during the closure. The Main Street bridge will remain closed until substantial completion of the project in early November.

The judges mull their options. Nicolas is first. Christina is a self-professed hip mover (suck it, Shakira) and is glad that his dress allowed for that. The judges agree it was a thoughtful outfit. They think Carol Hannah's dress was detailed and glamorous. Althea's dress was beautiful, well constructed and expertly tailored. Bob Mackie seems particularly struck by the look. As for the designers they don't like, they start with Shirin. Nina thinks the dress was unfortunate, particularly because Shirin is a good designer. Heidi makes a "smelled-a-fart" face and pronounces the dress "dowdy". Because there is nothing (NOTHING!) more distasteful than dowdy. Well, except maybe Christopher's outfit. The judges all wave their hands in front of their noses to get the smell of stale design out of their noses. They just can't believe that Christopher is so out of touch that he doesn't know that Christina already did that look and she did it better. Guys, Christopher lives in his parents' basement in Shakopee, Minn., so be nice! Not everyone has all access passes to the MTV VMAs, okay? And sometimes mom and dad cut the cable because they think it will inspire you to get a "real" job. As if reality television aspirations aren't a real job! Heidi gives the air one more wave and turns her attention to Logan's look. Heidi was happy that his dress was at least youthful, but Bob is displeased at the length. He wishes Logan had cut it all the way to "the crotch" and then put her in diamond panties. First off, "crotch" is pretty much my least favorite word in the entire English language. Second, ew! Seriously, if I'm in the front row of a concert I don't really want a crotch shot, even if it is sparkly. Thanks anyway! The judges have reached their decision.
Heidi reminds everyone of the rules: They are the best and the worst. One will be in, one will be auf'd. Althea is in. She walks her seven-foot frame off stage. Christina gets to announce the winner. And the winner is... Carol Hannah! Carol Hannah giggles happily and does a little happy hamster dance when she gets backstage. Christina thought the dress was interesting and dynamic and fit really well. She might even wear it some day. But, don't hold your breath for that one. Nicolas is in and excused from the runway. Logan is safe, too. Christopher and Shirin are the last on stage. Heidi tells Christopher that his look was an inexpensive copy of Christina's Lady Marmalade look and if he was going to do a reveal, he should have revealed something interesting and well made. He has tears in his eyes as he envisions his Star Wars sheets on his bed at home. Shirin lost herself in the challenge and created an unflattering and boring look. Heidi calls Shirin's name and after a few beats, Shirin is pronounced out. She gets kissed off, goes backstage and it looks like no one bothers to get up and hug her. Irina gives her a bored look. Shirin promises to carry on and sally forth and all that good stuff while Mr. Sparkle Panties lives to design another day.

Auction Round Up: Collectible Letters, Documents & Sports Memorabilia
We have earlier told you about the most happening auctions that kick started the year 2013, including the high end collectible cars, classic cars at RM Auctions Arizona 2013 and the expensive art sales that set the high-end art market abuzz in 2013. Now, take a look at some of the other upcoming auctions featuring antique documents, personal letters and sports memorabilia that is expected to woo the collectors.
Francis Crick's letter to son about DNA
Expected Price: $2 million
An English molecular biologist, biophysicist, and neuroscientist, and most noted for being a co-discoverer of the structure of the DNA molecule in 1953 together with James D. Watson, the then 33-year old Francis Harry Compton Crick wrote a letter to his 12-year old son, describing his discovery of DNA with James Watson. Now the Noble Prize winner's letter will show up at Christie's auction block, where it's expected to fetch as much as $2 million.
Space Magna Carta, pages from Apollo 11 log
Expected Price: $60,000 - $100,000
In the Bonhams administered Space History Sale on March 25, collectors of space memorabilia will get to grab some of the very best space history material on the market to date. The highlight of this sale featuring an exceptional selection of space related documents, memorabilia, and artifacts is a 1975 printed certificate marking the symbolic end to the space race, which has been nicknamed the Space Magna Carta. One of four in existence, the certificate hails from the first successful docking of a US and a USSR spacecraft – the Apollo and the Soyuz - and was signed in space by the cosmonauts and astronauts aboard the respective missions. Bearing the signatures of Tom Stafford, Deke Slayton, Vance Brand, Valerie Kubasov and Alexei Leonov, the text advocating cooperation and peace is written in both Russian and English, and features an illustration of the spacecraft locked together in orbit.
First Baseball Card, 1863
Expected Price: $50,000
Created back in 1863, the first ever baseball card will show up at the auction block as part of a New Jersey Auction on April 19th, where it's expected to fetch as much as $50,000. Widely known as the Grand Match at Hobokem card, it was originally ordered and distributed by Harry Wright, who's also the card's subject and was one of the driving forces of baseball during early days who assembled, managed and played for the sport's first fully professional team, the Cincinnati Red Stockings. We have earlier also given you some tips for investing in Baseball cards.
Two Sports Jerseys
Price Realized: $1.4 million
At the Heritage's Platinum Sports night in New York, the Lou Gehrig's heavy gray flannel "road jersey," and Mike Eurzione"s splashy 1980 Olympic hockey jersey together fetched whopping $1.4 million. Notably, Gehrig's jersey (pictured above) became the highlight of the sale by fetching as much as $717,000.

Market capitalization can also refer to the total value of a stock exchange. For example, the market cap of the NASDAQ would equal the market cap of all the companies traded on the NASDAQ combined.
Small, Medium and Large CapInvestors use market cap to divide the stock market into at least three categories. Small cap companies have a market cap of less than $1 billion. They are smaller companies, many of which recently went through their Initial Public Offering, or IPO. They are riskier, because they are more likely to default during a downturn. On the other hand, they have lots of room to grow, and could become very profitable.
Mid cap companies are less risky, but may not have the same potential for growth. They typically have a capitalization of between $1 billion to $5 billion. A recent study showed they actually outperformed both small cap and large cap stocks over the last 20 years.
Large cap companies have the least risk, because they typically have the financial resources to weather a downturn. Since they tend to be market leaders, they also have less room to grow. Therefore, the return may not be as high as small or mid cap stocks. On the other hand, they are more likely to reward stockholders with dividends. The market cap for these companies is $5 billion or more.
Is Market Cap a Good Way to Value Companies?Market cap is a relatively good way to quickly value a company. That's because stock prices are generally based on investors' expectations of a company's earnings. As earnings rise, stock traders will bid more for the stock price. Including the number of shares in the calculation offsets the impact of stock splits.
Market cap would be a great way to value companies if they all had the same price to earnings ratio. However, some industries are seen as slow growing or stodgy. Their stock prices are undervalued, and so are the market caps of companies in that industry.
There are several other ways to determine the value of a company. One good way is to determine the net present value of its future cash flow, or income. This gives the buyer an idea of what the return on investment will be. If a company's market cap is lower than the net present value of its cash flow, then it is undervalue, and a candidate for takeover.
Another more conservative approach is to determine the total resale price of all a company's assets. The drawback is that some assets would be difficult to value. Others may be worth more than their resale value. However, this is a good approach for a company that just wants to buy the company and sell off the assets for quick cash. A company whose market cap was much lower than its resale value would be a target for this kind of takeover. During the "Greed is good" days of Ivan Boesky, many companies were worth much less than their resale value. Conversely, during the Internet bull market in 1999, many companies' capitalization values were worth far more than their income or asset value. Irrational exuberance drove stock prices beyond a reasonable valuation. When the tech bubble burst, it led to the recession of 2001.
Largest Companies by Market CapIn 2012, Apple became the largest company as measured by market cap. Its share price was more than $500 a share, and people wondered how it could grow much more. Apple built its business by being a technological innovator, and creating brand loyalty by understanding its customer base. Here's a list of the top 20 largest companies by market cap:
- Apple
- Exxon Mobil
- Microsoft
- Wal-Mart
- Berkshire Hathaway
- General Electric
- Chevron
- Johnson & Johnson
- Procter & Gamble
- Coca-Cola
- Pfizer
- Wells Fargo
- Philip Morris International
- Oracle
- Intel
- JPMorgan Chase
- Verizon Communications

Buttermilk Blueberry Breakfast Cake
By May 20, 2012Published:
I have been eyeing this breakfast cake from Alexandra's Kitchen for a while now and finally cracked down and had to make it! It is …
- 1/2 cup butter softened
- 7/8 cup sugar
- 1 egg room temperature
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 2 cups flour
- 2 tsp. baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1 Tbsp. sugar for sprinkling on top
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Cream butter and 7/8 cup sugar until light and fluffy. (7/8 cup equals 3/4 cup + 2 Tbsp.)
- Add the egg and vanilla and beat until combined. Meanwhile, toss the blueberries with ¼ cup of flour, then whisk together the remaining flour, baking powder and salt.
- Add the flour mixture to the batter a little at a time, alternating with the buttermilk. Fold in the blueberries.
- Grease a 9-inch square baking pan (or something similar) with butter or coat with non-stick spray. Spread batter into pan. Sprinkle batter with remaining tablespoon of sugar. Bake for 35-45 minutes. Check with a toothpick for doneness. Let cool at least 15 minutes before serving.

The Claremore Daily Progress published the story "Juvenile records found unsecured in old courthouse" in the Sunday, Aug. 4 edition.
A tip was received by the Claremore Daily Progress regarding the records on July 31.
The Progress verified the tip and contacted Rogers County Court Clerk Kim Henry for comment on the matter.
Henry was contacted because of her expertise on court records, specifically the confidential nature of juvenile records and her official capacity as clerk of court records.
Henry did not initiate the report to the Claremore Daily Progress.

Two poets with ties to the University at Buffalo's Poetics program and a "proclivity for brevity" in their work will be featured tonight at 7 p.m. at Sweetness 7 Café, 220 Grant St. in what has been appropriately billed as "minimalist holiday reading" featuring Graham Foust and Michael Flatt.
Foust, a 2002 UB Poetics Program Ph.D who co-edited the journal Lagniappe:Poetry and Poetics in Review from 1998 to 2002 with Ben Friedlander, is the author of five full-length collections of poetry: "As in Every Deafness" (Flood Editions, 2003); "Leave the Room to Itself" (Ahsahta Press, 2004); "Necessary Stranger" (Flood Editions, 2007); "A Mouth in California" (Flood Editions, 2009); and "To Anacreon In Heaven" (Flood Editions, 2013).
He is also the co-translator (with Samuel Frederick) of "In Time's Rift" [Im Zeitspalt], a collection of the later poems by the German poet Ernst Meister published by Wave Books in 2012. He has taught at Drake University, at Saint Mary's College of California, and, currently, as assistant professor at the University of Denver.
Owing much to the mordant concision and radical linguistic misdirections of English language writing after Samuel Beckett, Foust's work advances Beckett's familiar endgame tropes and schemes with the compelling immediacy of an idiomatic jolt.
Michael Flatt is currently a Ph.D. student in the UB Poetics Program. His work has appeared has appeared in such publications as Colorado Review, New Pages, Octopus Magazine, and Cutbank. His first-length collection of poems, "Absent Receiver" published earlier this year by Springgun Press, was praised by J. Michael Martinez in a recent Poetry Society of America 'New American Poets' feature as "gorgeous in its intelligence and surreal sways."
Flatt's work "excavates those spaces of joy that can only occur after the damage," writes Martinez: "His work is like the night a lover confesses betrayal and, exposed, is wretched in their weakness; however, the power of his work isn't in aestheticized confession, Michael Flatt's genius is his ability to unlock the aesthetic and recover, in these events of rot and persecution, the grace love possesses to forgive the dark…"
The event is free and open to the public.

INDIANAPOLIS - Jimmie Johnson was the eleventh qualifier of 45 during Saturday's Brickyard 400 qualifying, which meant a long wait on pit road to find out if his record-breaking time would make it to the official .
The four-time Brickyard winner and five-time Sprint Cup champ passed the time doing a live interview with ESPN. He met with a bullpen of print and online media. He shook hands, slapped backs and made conversation with drivers who couldn't measure up to his lap. He otherwise just mingled among team members, special guests and the roar of competitors on their flying laps as he waited to hopefully celebrate a Brickyard pole. The especially mild Indianapolis temperatures made it a good day to just hang out and wait.
One by one, a few competitors inched closer. Kurt Busch turned a lap just two-tenths of a second slower. Denny Hamlin and then Carl Edwards drew even closer. But they all came up short. Johnson's second pole at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway was in sight.
Then the 45th-qualifier took the track, and it was all for naught.
Ryan Newman, the Indiana-born driver with a penchant for being especially quick in qualifying, surprised the hometown crowd with a blistering lap of 187.531 mph. The public address announcer boomed of the lap being a new track record in the vein of Tom Carnegie. The fans roared.
Johnson could only smile, knocked to a second-place starting spot Sunday after an hour of hoping for one spot better.
Newman scored his first career pole at Indianapolis and his 50th overall in Sprint Cup competition, and did it in a car decaled with logos promoting a new movie featuring The Smurfs.
"That was honestly the fastest I've ever seen Papa Smurf go," Newman said later, chuckling.
It was a big moment for Newman, a driver with a full appreciation of the Brickyard thanks to his personal roots. His sister lives nearby, his parents still live in the northern part of the state. And don't forget the news Newman was dealt just two weeks ago when team owner and friend Tony Stewart announced that the addition of Kevin Harvick to the Stewart-Haas Racing stable in 2014 meant no room at the inn for Newman.
"It's special to me because it's Indiana, but it's more special because it's the Brickyard, because it's Indy and because of the history of auto racing," Newman said. "I admire so many drivers who have worked so hard in their career to get to here, and on this day, to be the best, that's what is special."
Third-place qualifier Carl Edwards felt empathy for Johnson - but not too much.
"Second it the worst, you guys. It's the worst to qualify second, and nobody wants anybody to go through what Jimmie just had to go through," Edwards said. "We all don't feel too bad for Jimmie, but it was pretty dramatic. I didn't really expect that."
Johnson wasn't really worried. He's won four of the last seven NASCAR races at Indianapolis.
"It's got to be a big day for (Newman), being a hometown boy and all. (I'm) very happy for Ryan and very happy for our team," Johnson said. "Starting up front is important here. Hopefully we'll have a good day tomorrow."

Enid News and Eagle
ENID, Okla. —
In last year's season-opener, Oklahoma allowed 427 yards to Texas-El Paso, including 177 yards by Miners running back Nathan Jeffrey.
It would be a sign of some things to come for a Sooners defense that would allow 662 yards to West Virginia and 633 to Texas A&M in the Cotton Bowl, including 516 yards by Heisman Trophy winner, quarterback Johnny Manziel.
But it was a different story in a 34-0 shutout of Louisiana-Monroe Saturday, the Sooners' first shutout since a 52-0 win over Iowa State on Oct. 16, 2010.
The Warhawks, who averaged 432.8 yards and 33.8 points per game last season, managed only 38 yards rushing and 128 yards passing. The longest run was six yards. The longest pass was 14 yards.
"That was one of the better games that we have had in a long, long time,'' said OU coach Bob Stoops.
The Sooners, Stoops said, carried out their assignments and communicated well.
"We did a great job with all the personnel groupings,'' Stoops said. "We just moved around a little bit and tried to bring guys in in different ways and put pressure on the quarterback.''
Stoops, though, didn't go so far to as to say it was a dramatic turnaround.
"We haven't done anything dramatic,'' Stoops said. "Last year we had a lot of good games early ... you guys were bragging on us and then you threw us under the bus.''
Defensive coordinator Mike Stoops said "the guys overall played much better.'' He attributed it to more experience and being more aggressive.
He noted the staff made adjustments, admitting last year he may "have been stubborn to a fault and was slow to adjust.''
"It's just one day,'' Mike Stoops said. "If we have 11 more like this, I'll be happy.''
Sophomore defensive end Charles Tapper was one of those significant changes. He saw only limited action a year ago, but his aggressiveness and pressure was singled out by Bob Stoops.
"He's an excellent player,'' Stoops said. "We were expecting him to play this way. Hopefully, we'll keep playing this way. He has a chance to be one of those guys we're used to having. As a young guy, he's as good as any of them. We have to keep bringing him along.''
Linebackers — a subject of controversy a year ago — also were singled out.
There were many other areas that showed promise for the Sooners on Saturday.
OU rushed for 305 yards and averaged 6.1 yards per carry. Damien Williams became the 69th Sooner to rush for more than 1,000 yards in his career (1,012) after gaining 66 yards on 16 carries.
OU did not fumble and the only interception was a ball where the Warhawk defender took the ball away from the Sooner receiver.
Louisiana-Monroe arguably is the weakest opponent on the OU schedule, but it did finish 8-5 last season and went to a bowl. OU will find out more about itself Saturday when the Sooners host West Virginia in the Big 12 opener.
"We're on track,'' Bob Stoops said. "I think we will need to get better, of course. The inexperience (players) we had in this game played well. We have some good young players. We have to keep them more polished. The more they play, the more they will grow.''

WESTPORT — A new ferry service will carry foot passengers to and from Westport and Basin Harbor, Vt., to ease problems created by the Champlain Bridge closure.
The service will start Monday.
State, county and town officials, business owners, police and others met Thursday afternoon at Westport Town Hall to coordinate plans for the ferry service.
Westport Town Supervisor Daniel Connell said that because states of emergency have been declared by New York and Vermont, "a lot of red tape goes away. You need to do what is needed. One of our primary concerns is if Westport will be able to handle all of the people."
Essex County Transportation Coordinator Nancy Dougal pointed out that 1,000 to 1,500 county residents need to get to Vermont for employment, including 335 workers headed for the Middlebury area.
Also, an average of 50 ambulance runs are made per month.
Parking will be at the Essex County Fairgrounds, with a shuttle taking passengers to the ferry at Westport Marina.
The Olympic Regional Development Authority is loaning a 35-passenger bus for the shuttle.
"We're ready to roll on Monday morning," Dougal said.
Concerns about people parking in downtown Westport will be alleviated by signs restricting parking to two hours.
State Department of Transportation regional engineer Mike Fayette said the agency would provide signage, and Essex County Undersheriff Richard Cutting said flashing signs are available to direct motorists.
The Carroll family has agreed to allow the ferry to dock at Westport Marina, though Larry Carroll requested that cars not be parked at the business, as they are still removing and storing boats at this time of year.
The marina will allow commuters with personal watercraft to moor there for free.
One of the largest employers on the Vermont side, Goodrich, in Vergennes, is interested in utilizing the new ferry to shuttle employees.
Brian Goodyear of Basin Harbor, Vt., which will operate the 48-passenger ferry, was pleased with the coordinated efforts.
"This is encouraging. It's about as fluid as it gets. We were hoping to find a relationship between New York and Vermont. This has been an eye-opener."
Goodyear said Addison Co. Transit will run two buses: one to Vergennes and the other to Middlebury.
Tickets will go on sale Friday at Goodrich and Sheer Cuts in Vergennes, though purchases may be made at the ferry itself. A round trip will be $8, and a five-day pass will go for $34.
"The biggest unknown will be how many passengers we will have," Goodrich said. "We cross our fingers that we can keep up with a 48-passenger capacity for the first two ferries."
Several issues remain to be worked out in the next few days, including possible shuttles from Crown Point and Moriah, potential funding to help defray ferry costs for people with financial difficulties, handicapped accessibility and additional restrooms besides those at the fairgrounds.
Another concern was voiced by Essex County Emergency Director Donald Jaquish concerning the increased use of watercraft. His department is working with firefighters and other safety personnel on cold-water-rescue training.
Looking toward the future, there are hopes for ferry service in the next month or so at the site of the closed bridge in Crown Point.
U.S. Sens. Charles E. Schumer and Kristen Gillibrand requested Thursday that the Federal Highways Administration provide DOT with all assistance and technical support possible in the efforts to resolve the disruptive situation caused by the closure of the bridge.
They are seeking emergency contracting procedures so that when funding and construction needs are determined, the process can move forward as quickly as possible.
David C. Hirtle of Crown Point and others are organizing gatherings on both sides of the bridge at 3 p.m. Sunday to reflect upon, show support for or pray for a solution for the bridge crisis.
"With the sudden and devastating closure of the Crown Point/Champlain Bridge comes the realization that our neighbors, our communities and our merchants are in a position of great pain and loss," Hirtle said in a statement.
"Gone is that sense that their jobs will provide security for their families. Gone is the ability to travel freely to the doctor, the hospital, the shopping plaza and, yes, even their favorite restaurant.
"For most of us living on either side of the lake, our incomes provide only the essentials as we struggle to keep up with rising food and fuel cost. And now, a tariff, as it were, in the form of a hundred-mile detour or the added time and expense of a ferry trip.
"Spread the word! Let's join together and share with each other the spirit of community that cannot be closed down.
"Let's send a message to our respective governors that we are more than collateral damage; we're a collective community and will not be silenced."
For more information on the rally, contact Hirtle at 597-3398 or Cindy Bodette at 597-3545.

The Swiss OSCE Chairmanship and its Model OSCE project: Switzerland will assume the Chairmanship of the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) in 2014. In accord with the leitmotif «Creating a Security Community for the Benefit of Everyone», Switzerland pursues three overarching objectives:
- fostering security and stability in Europe,
- improving people's lives, and
- strengthening the OSCE and increasing its capacity to take action.
As part of its third objective, Switzerland wants to strengthen the voice of young people and enhance their involvement within OSCE structures. To achieve this goal, Switzerland will organise a Model OSCE series in which one delegate from each of the 57 OSCE participating States will be invited to participate. The participating delegates will be involved in the Swiss OSCE Chairmanship throughout the entire presidential year: By means of simulations of two specific OSCE decision-making bodies, the delegates will get familiar with OSCE structures and -themes. The participants will have the opportunity to acquire and develop various skills in diplomacy and negotiation, public speaking, communication, problem resolution of international issues, and critical thinking. They will improve their team-work and leadership abilities and meet other young people from the 57 OSCE participating States.
Who should register in the Model OSCE? We strongly encourage young people aged 18-30 to submit their applications. Participants must be citizens of one of the 57 OSCE participating States, fluent in written and oral English, interested in international politics, and ready to engage their time and ideas in the framework of this project throughout the year of the Swiss OSCE Presidency.
Please visit the Swiss National Youth Council (SNYC) website to submit your application.
Model OSCE registration is open from September 23 through October 24, 2013

|[C17: from Late Latin praecognitiō foreknowledge, from praecognoscere to foresee, from prae before + cognoscere to know, ascertain]
precognition pre·cog·ni·tion (prē'kŏg-nĭsh'ən)
Knowledge of something in advance of its occurrence, especially by extrasensory perception.
supernormal knowledge of future events, with emphasis not upon mentally causing events to occur but upon predicting those the occurrence of which the subject claims has already been determined. Like telepathy and clairvoyance, precognition is said to operate without recourse to the normal senses and thus to be a form of extrasensory perception (ESP).

Green Coffee Bean Extract Review
What You Should Know
Click Here To See Our Highest Rated Review
Green Coffee Bean Extract is one of those new weight loss supplement ingredients that gains a huge following extremely quickly. We first noticed the ingredient when Hydroxycut removed several products from the market and replaced the garcinia cambogia with green coffee bean extract. Garcinia cambogia was originally included as a fat burner, so we assume the green coffee bean extract was used for the same purpose. When coffee is boiled, a substance called cafestol is extracted. This is the part of coffee that causes negative side effects. Essentially, green coffee bean extract is supposed to supply all the healthy benefits of coffee without any negative side effects, but it is hard to get a clear answer about the stimulant effect of the extract.
List of Ingredients
- Extract of an Unripe Coffee Bean
Product Features
There have been several small studies on the weight loss benefits of green coffee bean extract. The studies have used more than 1,000 mg of the extract, which is much more than is commonly found in typical green coffee bean extract supplements. Some manufacturers claim they are just playing it safe with a lower dose until larger studies are completed and others don't address the clinical research at all.
We also found some studies on the effect of green coffee bean extract, specifically the chlorogenic acid, on blood pressure. According to the studies, the extract can lower blood pressure when taken regularly.
There is no doubt that green coffee bean extract offers some health benefits, but until large-scale studies are completely on humans, these studies are irrelevant. We cannot take the effect of a supplement on mice and expect the same effect on humans. Humans have much more stress and mental connection with food than mice so we are more apt to overeat for all the wrong reasons. In many cases, genetically altered mice are used for the studies and we hope the humans taking the supplements are not genetically altered in any way.
- May increase weight loss.
- May decrease blood pressure.
- May be a safe alternative to stimulants.
- Some clinical studies have been completed.
- No large-scale clinical studies on humans.
- Animal studies cannot be used to gauge human effect.
- Not as effective as caffeine at boosting metabolism.
Ideally, green coffee bean extract would be taken as part of a combination supplement. The dieter could see some health benefits from the chlorogenic acid, but whether or not the effects are statistically significant is yet to be proven. We suggest using green tea, caffeine and chromium as the base three ingredients in your supplement until further research is completed.

Oxfam Hong Kong has distributed blankets for 2,000 survivors of the earthquake in a temporary camp in Yushu County, Qinghai. Yet, about 20,000 people are living in this camp, and the needs are urgent.
Oxfam has been working hard to get a resettlement site ready for the first people to arrive, installing latrines, showers and water bladders. Thousands of people must be relocated due to the high risk of mudslides after the January 2010 earthquake.
International agency Oxfam is preparing to send blankets and water proof sheeting as part of a $260,000 aid package to the earthquake hit area of Yushu County of south-eastern Qinghai Province in northwest China.
Clotide Anilus, a 38-year-old mother of three, is one of the beneficiaries of Oxfam-funded community canteens. Through these canteens, Oxfam provides free hot meals to 4,500 earthquake survivors in the area.
The Haitian government must ensure new camps are ready to receive earthquake survivors before more evacuations take place. Agencies are rushing to prepare a new site in time for people who must be relocated due to the high risk of mudslides.
Conditions for Haiti earthquake survivors are still critical with the rainy season nearly here. Shelter and sanitation remain Oxfam's top priorities. By the end of March, Oxfam has reached over 300,000 people with humanitarian assistance.
Ahead of a crucial conference on Haiti's reconstruction in New York, the people of Haiti say they want jobs to be their path toward rebuilding, an Oxfam survey reveals. Haitians' most pressing needs are jobs, schools and homes.
International aid agency Oxfam today announced that its Humanitarian Haiti earthquake appeal was closing due to the overwhelming generosity of the public worldwide. Oxfam has received approximately $100m for its emergency work in Haiti.
Paul Neal, Oxfam team leader of the shelter program in Haiti, talks about how young people are being given cash for work to put together shelter materials for those affected by the 12 January earthquake.
The Haitian people have begun tackling the hard work of recovery. Many are eager to contribute, looking for opportunities to earn money and to meet people's basic needs. Oxfam is employing people affected by the Haiti quake.

Show: Glee
Network: Fox

Follow on: Facebook | Twitter | Google+
Finalist for: Favorite Special-Needs TV Show
What it's about: According to the Fox site, "Glee is a musical comedy about a group of eager and ambitious students who strive to outshine their singing competition to win Nationals while navigating the cruel halls of McKinley High." Among the students in those halls are a glee-club member who uses a wheelchair and a cheerleader with Down syndrome.
Why it's special: I asked George Estreich, author of The Shape of the Eye (a Readers' Choice Awards finalist for Favorite Special-Needs Parenting Book) and a fan of Glee, what makes the show special. He wrote:
What I like about Glee is not just that its characters with Down syndrome have lines, scenes, and story arcs; it's also that there have been two of them, at different stages in life. The implicit message is that people with Down syndrome aren't timeless types, but individuals living in time. In a media environment where people with disabilities are still, too often, acceptable targets for comedy, Glee's portrayal of people with Down syndrome is a welcome change.

For the past three years, youth in Stoneham have flocked to the Boys & Girls Club's Summer Camp. This year, the club's camp has expanded its capacity and was able to sell out very early.
Around the Stoneham community there is a great level of excitement around the club's camp due to its quality programming, emphasis on fun, and affordable price. All around the club and outside in the fields it is clear that the children and adolescents who are part of the camp are having an incredible experience that will have a positive impact on their lives beyond the summer.
When I spoke with Summer Camp Director Heather Merrow, she said: "Our Summer Camp is very engaging and attracts new members to the Club who are apt to return to the Club during the school year."
The club prides itself on the wide variety of programs it offers to a wide range of age groups during the summer. On a typical day, campers could be engaged in a large number of exciting activities. These include athletic field games, arts and crafts, drama, cooperative games, educational activities, classes on nutrition and access to the club's technology center. All of these activities are led by trained staff that tailor these activities to the particular age group that they are working with.
Campers start off as young as five years old and progress through the program until they reach the Counselor-In-Training group for twelve to fourteen year olds. Those involved have the opportunity to enjoy the engaging camp activities, receive leadership training, as well as providing service through assisting camp counselors lead camp activities for younger campers. All of these programs share a commonality of being fun and teaching Club Members new skills and encouraging positive peer to peer interaction.
At the cornerstone of the club's camp are the talented staff that run and implement all of the activities that the club offers over the summer. To start, all of the counselors are current or former club members who have been invested in the club for a large portion of their lives.
Additionally, four of the counselors are local Youth of the Year winners who received this honor due to their ability to overcome obstacles in their lives, dedicate themselves to serving the Club and the greater community, and embody a positive attitude. All of the Club's Summer Camp Staff are well trained and it is evident that they not only bring a high level of enthusiasm to the Camp, but also ensure that all campers are safe at all times. In addition, the Staff displays a strong will to make a positive impact on the campers that they work with.
The Club invites you to visit our Facebook page where you can view photos of our Summer Camp. We also invite you to visit our website.

From an article published in the St. Paul, Minn., Pioneer Press:
It was night in Yellowstone National Park, and Chris Spencer was one of the last in his group still awake.
Wanting to take a few more photographs before he went to sleep, he walked to a nearby river, set up a camera and shot a 30-second exposure of the water as it flowed through a grassy break in the trees.
"The photo looked different from any other I had ever taken," said Spencer, 18, of . "It turned out way cooler than I ever thought it would."
Spencer's visit to Yellowstone last year was part of a western Wisconsin-based program that uses nature photography to help teenagers deal with behavioral or mental health issues.
The program sent teens on four trips to national parks last year, and the resulting photographs have been turned into an exhibit that is on display at the Minnesota state Capitol and will soon travel the country.

Here is a list of common small talk subjects. If you have difficulties speaking about any of these topics, try to improve your vocabulary by using the resources available to you (Internet, magazines, teachers at school, etc.)
- Sports - current matches or games, favorite teams, etc.
- Hobbies
- Weather - boring, but can get the ball rolling!
- Family - general questions, not questions about private matters
- Media - films, books, magazines, etc.
- Holidays - where, when, etc. but NOT how much!
- Home town - where do you come from, how is it different/similar to this town
- Job - once again, general questions not too specific
- Latest fashion and trends
- Celebrities - any gossip you may have!
Here is a list of topics that probably aren't very good for small talk. Of course, if you are meeting a close friend these topics may be excellent. Just remember that 'small talk' is generally discussion with people you don't know very well.
- Salary - how much do you make? - That's none of your business!
- Politics - wait to you get to know the person better
- Intimate relationships - only for you and your partner - or maybe your best friend
- Religion - tolerance is the key!
- Death - we need to face it, but not the first time we meet someone new
- Financial - related to salary above, most people prefer to keep financial information to themselves
- Sales - Don't try to sell something to someone you have just met.

Back in October many county school systems in West Virginia got an unwelcome "trick" for Halloween when a hurricane-generated storm system roared through much of the state and forced classes to be canceled for several days.
In Nicholas County, where snowfall totals in some places far exceeded 30 inches, schools weren't in session for a week. And the official start of winter was still more than seven weeks away.
Superintendents and other school officials had to be cringing then, like they are now. Winter is just halfway gone and most school systems across our region have maxed out their scheduled snow days.
Another academic year in our public schools in which the mandated 180 days of instructional time won't be met is all but a certainty, unless you believe the 50 degree heatwave coming in a few days is going to continue through March.
This issue has been talked about, and talked about, and talked about ... and talked about. Yet, no real solutions have been put in place.
Yes, some flexibility in how counties determine academic year start dates has been instituted. But even with that, the problem still hasn't been fixed.
In recent years, the concept of year-round schooling in West Virginia has been picking up momentum and with education reform being touted in Charleston as one of the key issues before the 81st Legislature, there is no better time than the present for lawmakers to begin taking bold steps toward ensuring adequate instructional time in the classroom.
Some semblance of year-round schooling has to be in the equation.
Last week, West Virginia Education Association President Dale Lee told us that student achievement has to be the priority. We agree. But for that to happen they have to be in school. The only way a guarantee of instructional time can happen is if the calendar becomes completely flexible with make-up days figured in.
Nobody that we know can sit around and say "'All right, the last two weeks of January next year are going to be icy with lots of snow so we won't go then." Doesn't happen; sorry Farmer's Almanac.
And as for the argument of vacations and days off, it can still be done with definite days being labeled as off no matter what. But to just say we can't go to school any further into June, or start before this particular day in August isn't reasonable.
So as snow days pile up, and students miss out on being in school, we continue to gyp our next generation when it comes to academics.
