Gaffney's Claire Jones chooses Rutgers
Thu. February 28, 2013 at 12:48 a.m. | By Kevin Melton

Traveling to gymnastics competitions has never been a problem for Claire Jones.
So it's no surprise that the Gaffney senior will be doing the same for her college career.
Jones, the daughter of Gaffney football coach Dan Jones and Karen Jones, recently signed with Rutgers. She chose the Scarlet Knights over N.C. State, Ohio State, Kent State and Ball State.
"It's such a relief," Jones said. "Gymnastics recruiting is so hard. It's just like baseball because they only give two scholarships, one in state and one out of state. Only a few athletes get them, and I'm one that was fortunate enough to get one."
Jones has been competing since she was 4 years old, traveling all over the nation. She trained at Kozeev's World of Gymnastics in Spartanburg for much of her career until her coach and gym co-owner Tamara Kozeev died almost three years ago. After a difficult grieving period and also questioning whether to continue training, Jones moved over to Precision Gymnastics in Shelby, N.C., under the instruction of Sergei Tereshenko.
Jones said the decision to stick with her passion was the right one.
"My experience is different than a lot of others," she said. "I started out at 4, and when I was 13 my coach died of lung cancer. I was with my coach every day of the week and she knew everything about me. I gave up gymnastics for two months. After that, I knew that's not how it should be. I went to Precision Gymnastics and made nationals. I started getting recruited afterwards."
Jones later took a visit to Rutgers and said she immediately knew it was the right fit.
"It's like finding the perfect wedding dress," she said. "You just know. I just loved the coaching staff and the girls. They want to take the next step, and I want to be a part of it."
Jones will make her way to Piscataway, N.J., in June. She said the date can't get here fast enough.
"I'll only be a few miles from New York City and I'm looking forward to visiting there," Jones said. "I'm also really excited about competing in the Big 10. I think it will be a great experience not just for me, but for my family."

The Belmont Food Pantry, the town's dispensary of food aid to residents in need, is relocating back to its former home behind Belmont High School.
But the town isn't kicking out the long-time provider of emergency food aid from the former Municipal Light Department building across Concord Avenue from Town Hall and adjacent the Belmont Police Station.
"It is definitely a good thing that we are moving back to the High School," said Pantry Director Patty Mihelich of the move taking place this Saturday, Sept. 29.
The doors open for the first time at the new location on Saturday, Oct. 6. The pantry was forced to move from the High School location in 2009 when the building it was located was taken over by the Wellington Elementary School when it was forced to relocated during the building of the new Wellington School.
Unlike the current location in the long-empty Light building, the modular structure – located between the commuter rail tracks and the back of the school – has electricity, heat and a bathroom which will improve the conditions for both volunteers and those seeking emergency food stuffs, said Mihelich.
The move – being assisted by the Belmont High School cheerleaders and local scouting troops – is made all the easier by the unfortunate fact that the pantry's shelves are nearly empty.
"I really have no food here," said Mihelich. She is hoping that two days after the official opening, the pantry will be brimming with food after Belmont Serves, the annual day of service in which nearly 1,500 grocery bags of groceries and sundries arrived to the pantry last year.
Celebrating 20 years serving Belmont residents – it opened in Dec. 1992 – the non-profit serves Belmont residents who have trouble stretching their food dollar.
The pantry is open on the first and third Saturday from 8:30 a.m to 9:30 a.m. and the second and fourth Tuesday from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. You can contact the pantry at its website.

Since we're discussing the themes of her new album Another Country, it seems appropriate that Tift Merritt is speaking from the back of a tour van somewhere in the English countryside. The Houston-born, Carolina-bred singer/songwriter is making the trek from London to Sheffield with her five bandmates, and despite losing her cell phone signal twice, she sounds like a woman who loves where life has taken her.
"I'm definitely having a whole lot of fun," she says. "I'm so lucky that my job is to play music. After a while on the road, you might long for clean laundry and a good night's sleep in your own bed, but for the most part, it's just really, really fun."
Fortunately for her fans, Merritt never keeps her enthusiasm to herself. On stage, she's an inspiring spitfire, tossing every ounce of her tiny frame into routinely overpowering performances. And though she's probably best known as a thoughtful country balladeer in the Emmylou Harris tradition, Merritt can just as easily hit you with a stirring soul number right out of Dusty Springfield's playbook. Either way, she's a singer who demands attention.
"That's what I like best about performing—that intensity," Merritt says. "You know, being on stage is pretty safe. You can throw yourself in all the way without it having too many real-life consequences."
Live renditions aside, Merritt's latest album may be a little more mellow than its Grammy-nominated predecessor Tambourine, but it also happens to be the 33-year-old's most daring creation yet. To fully understand why, you can start with the album's clever title and its multiple interpretations.
First, in a literal sense, "another country" refers to France, where Merritt actually wrote the majority of the album's wistful, introspective tunes.
"The whole thing was really just an accident," she says. "I just was so tired from all the touring, and a little dislocated in my own life, so I decided to take myself on vacation as a reward for all the hard work I'd done."
Merritt chose Paris as her destination, with just one small caveat—she needed a piano.
"So, believe it or not, I Googled 'Paris,' 'apartment,' and 'piano,' and I actually found something!" she says. "Originally, I was only going to stay in Paris for about two weeks. But I ended up staying for a lot longer, because, I don't know, something just started churning within. It was one of those times where everything that was going on around me kind of lined up with what was going on inside of me. So I started to write like a mad woman."
One of the songs Merritt wrote in Paris was the album's eventual title track, in which she turns the phrase "another country" into a metaphor for human relationships.
"I usually have a moment when I'm writing a record where I realize, 'Oh! That's what this is all about! And it kind of started to come together under that umbrella when I wrote that song," she says. "I realized that being in another country and so far from my life and so far from my own language meant that I couldn't really take very much for granted. It was about my own place in the world, my own dislocation. But also, on a broader scale, it's about the idea that all people are different countries. We can be so far from each other in many respects, but still translatable."
Many listeners have also ascribed a third meaning to Merritt's choice of the "Another Country" title, believing that the Nashville outsider was offering her music as "another" option for country music fans disillusioned with the industry's establishment. While Merritt admits she's had her doubts about where she fits into the music industry as a whole, she's quick to shoot down this particular theory.
"I can see how people might think I was going for that sort of statement," she says. "But I just don't really believe in a genre. I don't think music should ever be about the music industry, because music is real, and the industry isn't. So people can read into things if they want to, but that's really not what that song or the album is about."
For all its complexities, Another Country is an album that anyone can enjoy for its sheer beauty alone. Whether it will bring Tift Merritt the level of success her talents deserve remains to be seen. Of course, success is also a relative term.
"I'm sitting with five guys in this van who would probably define success as having a bus!" Merritt says with a hearty laugh. "But for me, it's important to keep art in art's place and commerce in a really practical place. So I think my ultimate goal is to write and make music that I'm proud of, and hopefully have something good to say. Simple as that."

Recreational MedievalismTalk2

this wiki
Recreational Medievalism covers a range of hobbies and groups including the Society for Creative Anachronism, Renaissance Faires, and other such things.
The SCA is the largest and most common medieval activity group and has a strong geekish culture which crosses over with Science Fiction Fandom, technology, etc. The SCA has roughly 50/50 participation with regards to women, and women hold many leadership positions in the organisation; sometimes it is refered to as a matriarchy. However, there are still issues of sexism to be addressed.
Issues Edit
General Edit
- Women's activities within recreational medievalism may be constrained, overtly or covertly, by real or imagined historical gender norms.
- Power structures within the group may make it hard or impossible for a woman to lead without a man by her side (eg. SCA expectation that Kings and Queens and Barons and Baronesses be male/female couples)
- Medieval events offer an environment which exaggerates gender differences, in ways that may make some women uncomfortable
- There may be an expectation that women dress sexily (low-cut bodices, etc) or participate in sexual or romantic activities (flirting games, hand kissing). This is an example of a Sexualized environment.
- Some groups (esp. re-enactment and metal weapons groups) have far more men than women participating. It may be hard for a women to participate in such a group without a man (eg. husband/boyfriend), or she may be taken less seriously and assumed to only be there because of her husband/boyfriend.
Combat Edit
A number of issues are specific to, or most common in, combat-related activities such as SCA armored combat or fencing:
- Women may have physical difficulties due to different body shape, and may have psychological barriers to doing combat which need to be overcome in order to succeed.
- Women may have trouble finding teachers who understand how to teach women successfully
- Women may be overlooked for opportunities/recognition/awards in this area
Incidents Edit
Resources Edit
- The Armored Rose - a classic book on women SCA fighters
- Sword Maiden - a resource for female fighters in the SCA
- Tribe.net - SCA women fighters
- "The Iron Rose: Women Warriors, Past and Present" A set of web links to information on women warriors - Stefan's Florilegium

Rabbi Elyashiv: Jews in Eilat must hold two Seder nights
This is from an articles in Globes
Religious and haredi (ultra-orthodox) Jews who travel to Antalya, Turkey, or Eilat for Passover must hold two Seder nights, the same as Jews in the Diaspora ever since the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 CE, Bnei Brak local paper "Kol Ha'Ir" quotes Rabbi Yosef Shalom Elyashiv as saying. Eilat is included in the rabbi's ruling because it is not part of the Land of Israel.
Eilat chief rabbi, Yosef Hecht says that the town's residents and hotels hold only one Seder night.

Re: nbk and the surgical titlesTheSmudger Feb 2, 2012 9:31 AM (in response to luke_h)
I've got both. The NBK with AR is very difficult to gauge what constitutes a longshot. Some look long and you don't get the 'longshot' acknowledgement.
The surgical I got shooting a juggernaut in the back and kept shooting till the gun automatically reloaded.
Re: nbk and the surgical titlesTakenXVIV Feb 2, 2012 9:42 AM (in response to luke_h)
I have never got the surgical emblem and really can't see myself ever getting it. I've got NBK on every prestige. I usually get it with a sniper rifle or shotgun. There's a spot on mission that I've got that I get longshots from it all the time. If you're on PS3 and use the sniper rifles I'll add you and show you where it is. I've only ever seen about 10 other people that use it and you are really difficult to see.

NJIT Names New Building After President Emeritus, Saul K Fenster
Some 300 students, faculty, staff, alumni and others gathered at dusk Oct. 21, 2005, in the lobby of the newest building at New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT). The assemblage heard Robert A. Altenkirch, PhD, president of New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) and Kathleen Wielkopolski, NJIT Board of Trustees Chair, dedicate the six-story modernist structure to the work of Saul K. Fenster, PhD, president emeritus of NJIT.
In accepting the honor, Fenster, who led NJIT for a remarkable 24 years (1978-2002), warmly thanked past and present university trustees who helped and encouraged him to make his vision come true. That vision, which the other speakers addressed, included creating not only the newest structure, now appropriately called Fenster Hall, but a dozen more notable, architectural statements, built under Fenster's direction and foresight. The buildings forever changed NJIT's 45-acre urban campus and the Central Ward, an undeveloped section of Newark.
Joining Fenster, were his wife Bobbi and their adult children Lisa Garrison, Deborah Seliga, and Jonathan Gordon Fenster. Also on hand were Lisa's husband, James, and their children, Samantha and Mitchell; Deborah's husband, Ed and a special friend of Jonathan's, Sherry Gunsberger.
Although Fenster started the project, which now provides first class teaching and administrative space, its completion was left to his successor Robert A. Altenkirch, PhD, president of NJIT, since 2002. The ceremony included the dedication of a plaque, pictorial review of the Fenster years and comments from Altenkirch and Wielkopolski.
"Saul K. Fenster led this university for 24 years," said Wielkopolski. "He built, not only the physical campus that we see today—which more than doubled in size during his tenure—but also the philosophical underpinnings of NJIT's role within the State of New Jersey and beyond. His foresight and determination transformed the institution from a good engineering school to a leading public research university." Wielkopolski noted how Fenster emphasized information technology with two aggressive computing plans in 1999 and in 1983. She highlighted his belief in the strong applied research program as the core of the public technological university.
Altenkirch spoke about the changes in the student population during Fenster's tenure. "It has become more richly diverse, making a statement about NJIT's commitment to extending the benefits of a college degree to talented students regardless of race, gender, national origin or personal economic circumstances," Altenkirch said. He spoke of Fenster's concern for the community. "This building and the others added to our campus while he was president are part of a very positive vision of Newark's future. Conceived at a time when many did not share such optimism, the continuing physical transformation of our campus is an anchor of Newark's renaissance," Altenkirch said.

The Norman Transcript
NORMAN — We are recognizing Joan Baxter as the volunteer of the week. She is a volunteer who helps those veterans who received 100 percent rating and surviving spouses who are approved to receive DIC benefits. We appreciate Joan's knowledge and can-do attitude in helping each veteran and spouse obtain all VA benefits they are entitled to. Joan is the wife of treasurer, Jerry Baxter.
Last week, we assisted 133 veterans and spouses with their claims for VA benefits. Shirley and her crew of ladies continue to assist more than 20 surviving spouses each week for benefits based on their husband's military service. They also have assisted veterans' husbands in receiving DIC benefits based on their wives' military service.
Last week, we filed our first DIC claim for a surviving spouse whose husband served at Camp Legeune, N.C. We have been trying to let military members and their families know about the ground water contamination that was on going for 30-plus years from the '50s up into the '80s.
For all of your questions on surviving spouse benefits, call Shirley at 361-9322. We are available most every Thursday morning at the Goldsby Community Center. Sign-in starts at 5:30 a.m. and continues until we reach a maximum of 150 people.
Eight veterans received a 100 percent rating for their service-connected disabilities. One of the most common problems facing veterans who served in Vietnam is the diseases that exposure to Agent Orange has caused. Many of the surviving spouses that we see each week are here to file for DIC based on their husband's exposure to that chemical. If you received this rating and have not returned for a follow-up visit, please stop by to find out about the rest of the benefits you could be eligible to receive.
We helped 24 veterans file their first claims for VA benefits last week. Of these, most of them will be eligible to receive VA compensation or health care for their service in the military.
The VA has started to speed up the claims process with the implementation of the fully developed claims system. We are beginning to file more of these each week for those veterans who have all of their medical reports and other information that is required.
The treasurer provided money for medical testing to four veterans last week. He also provided gas cards to several men and women who did not have enough money to make the trip home. Many of the men and women are driving three hours or more to make a visit for assistance from one of the volunteers.
The benevolence fund makes a difference in the lives of veterans and surviving spouses every week. There is not a week that goes by that we don't see people who are at the end of their ropes when it comes to having enough to buy food or medical care for their families. If it were not for the benevolence fund, some of the local families would be suffering.
We are not able to help everyone who requests assistance. Each request is reviewed by the board members to determine who has the greatest need. Those first in line are veterans' widows with children.
As a nonprofit, any donations made to Veterans Corner is tax deductible. We also accept handicap items, cars and trucks or other items that can be used or sold to raise funds to help our nation's veterans and surviving spouses.
If you have not paid a visit to the Goldsby Veterans memorial, we would like to take this opportunity to invite you for a visit. I would like to say thanks to Harold Harvell, Riley Phillips and JD Kinard for keeping it continually ready for inspection. If you have not purchased a brick for your veteran, stop by any Thursday morning for a visit with any of those three veterans.
The most enjoyable parts of my job is being able to meet the many veterans who make their way to Goldsby each Thursday morning. The sad part is so many of them we meet are nearing the end of their journey in this life. One of them from Noble, Charles W. Shepard, an Army veteran, died July 12. We at Veterans Corner are offering condolences to his family. We enjoyed meeting him when he was visiting us.
The book of veterans' stories by Dr. Kami Day is available for purchase either from Harold Harvell or online at Amazon. We are proud of what Day was able to do for veterans. If you would like to purchase an autographed copy, stop by any Thursday morning.
Currently, Veterans Corner has two vans, one of which has a wheelchair lift, to transport those veterans in need of transportation to their VA medical appointments. We also have two drivers who use their personal cars to transport veterans to VA appointments.
Clayton Lee, 684-8860, and our other transportation drivers provide rides to veterans to the Oklahoma City VA Hospital for their appointments. If you need a ride or know a veteran who does, call Clayton to set up a driver. For the Norman area, call Harold Martin at 227-3239 or Robert Root at 919-3008.

What are you doing New Year's Eve? Millions of us will sit in front of the television or computer screen and wait for the crystal ball to drop in Times Square, signaling the beginning of 2013.
This year, the Waterford ball will have new crystal panels. Some will be of doves to mark the theme, "Let there be peace." There also be will be crystal triangles featuring people holding hands, ribbons representing courage and hearts representing love along with angels to welcome in the new year.
The ball is capable of creating a palette of more than 16 million vibrant colors and billions of patterns.

Here is the part that follows the John Donne Episode.
Priya, arranges for a taxi to take her to a house party, in the well to do Durban North. She notices that the taxi is called "Kismet" and wonders about that.
While relaxing in the back seat she mutters the first words of a John Donne poem. She is amazed when he completes the poem for her.
She is surprised but her interest is aroused. When he suggests that he should act as her escort at the party, she hesitates but then agrees. Once inside, she has a certain nevousness. She's afraid that someone may ask him what his profession is and then her secret will be exposed.
At dinner, an elderly woman studies Kismet. She is obviously fascinated by him and asks him several questions about his background.
The story here begins when she asks him about his knowledge of dancing.
The Story Continues
"Well Kismet, if you are familiar with different forms of dancing, what would you say if I asked you to show us one of your dances?"
"What would I say, Michelle? Perhaps I would ask you what kind of dance you'd like me to do?"
"Ah, Kismet. The tango, of course. There really is no other dance."
"Yes. Of course, Michelle. The tango. The dance of love. The dance that is passion in motion. The dance that is not really a dance but a courtship. If you asked that of me, Michelle, I would say yes, you shall have your tango."
He turned to look at the hostess.
"Monika, would you be kind enough to put on a tango for us. Let us for a moment, fill the room with the sounds of romance and passion."
Monika rose quickly and placed a CD in the music player. Soon the dining room was echoing to the sensual sounds of the Tango of Love
"There you are Kismet. There's your tango. What's more, I'll turn the lights down low."
.Kismet paused for a moment and then turned to Priya. Her eyes opened wide and the colour seemed to drain from her face. He whispered softly in her ear.
"Listen to me Priya. This is our moment. I know that you can dance. I've seen the way you walk. You move with the style of a born dancer. So come, let's tango!"
Priya looked at him. First in astonishment but then suddenly overwhelmed by a wave of care-free abandonment, she suddenly knew that there was nothing that she would rather do than dance the tango with him. After she rose to her feet up, she noticed that he was looking into her eyes with a fiery intensity. He continued doing this as he led her by her hand to an open space. She felt bewitched and revelled in the feeling.
The way that Kismet held Priya and the way that they moved together, made Michelle see her dreams and fantasies of how a tango should be danced, come true. In her mind's eye, she saw a handsome gaucho with a straight back, a passion in his eyes, holding and guiding a sultry village girl through steps, glides, turns and kicks that had the magical effect of freeing her, Michelle, from her lifetime of inhibitions.
When dancers do the tango, some do not hide behind those proud postures adopted in some of those Spanish versions of the dance. There are the same passionately charged atmospheres in both the Argentinean and Spanish dances but in the case of the former, the flowing sensuous bond between partners, is far more obvious.
The diners saw Priya spin away from Kismet and then, still holding his one hand, lean over backwards until her free hand dangled down to the floor. Then she elastically rebounded back into his arms. As she did this, she wrapped one of her legs around his for a brief moment
The passion was obvious but always well controlled just as a true lover controls his tempestuous feelings. The two seemed to know instinctively how to move decisively together. Sometimes they moved, as if they were bound together, and then suddenly both would stop. The halt sometimes seemed to be too sudden and the pause perhaps too long but that was merely a deception caused by the audience's involuntary but deep involvement in the passion of the dance.
The couple danced as if they had danced together all their lives. Sometimes he would stand still and she would roll from one side of him to the other, always remaining in touch with him.
When the music finally ended, a stunned silence followed. After a minute or two, while Kismet disregarded everyone in the room and had eyes only for her, he bowed and led her masterfully back to her seat.
When Priya sat down, she felt a hot flush in her cheeks. She imagined that everyone in the room was looking at her. Silently she sat looking steadily down at her glass of red wine. In awe of what had just happened to her, she was incapable of doing anything else.

All Angels continues its party plans
Date: March 26, 2010
by: Dora Walters | Senior Editor
What do you do when the performer at your benefit concert cancels at the last minute? The party must go on.
That's what happened March 26, at All Angels by the Sea Episcopal Church, when artist Ray Granito was hospitalized just hours before the event.
After some discussion, it was decided to make the evening "the biggest party ever." Food Committee Chairwoman Jane Perin proceeded on schedule and laid out potato pancakes with caviar dip, dates broiled in bacon strips, cheese trays, chicken-salad rolls and more.
Event Chairwoman Jan Webb and the Rev. David Danner welcomed the group and explained the situation. All agreed to party, regardless. The good news is Granito has been released from the hospital.
No plans have been made to reschedule the event.

A man is in custody after pointing a shotgun at the Clark County Government Building from a truck parked in a lot across from the building, according to law enforcement officials and eye witnesses.
The gunman has been identified as Henry Campbell, 63, Sellersburg.
Officers from the Clark County Sheriff's Department and the Jeffersonville Police Department responded to the scene and surrounded Campbell, who was parked in a black pickup truck in a parking lot along Watt Street, across from the courthouse.
Campbell was "yelling and talking loudly to himself," law enforcement reported.
The building was briefly on lockdown and employees in offices facing the parking lot were instructed to stay away from windows, said County Attorney Jake Elder.

KNIGHTDALE — By Caryn Grant
KNIGHTDALE – Wakefield dominated on both ends of the field early on Friday, taking a three-touchdown lead in the first quarter, helped by a Nick Dennis interception return. The fast start paved the way for the Wolverines' 34-7 win at Knightdale Stadium.
Wakefield got on the board less than two minutes into the game when quarterback Connor Mitch found receiver Jordan Fielleteau on a 20-yard touchdown pass. On the Wolverines' next possession, Mitch connected with Tommy Evans for a 17-yard score.
But the first half was littered with penalties, which stifled the team's offense a bit.
"With the penalties offensively we couldn't get in a rhythm, and we thrive on rhythm," said Wakefield coach Rod Sink.
Still, the Wolverines led 27-0 at the half after a two-point conversion attempt with less than a minute remaining was unsuccessful.
Knightdale held Wakefield scoreless in the third, but couldn't counter on the offensive end.
The Knights relied on its run game in its season-opener win against Millbrook last week, amassing 368 yards on 46 carries, but couldn't get it going Friday.
The Knights started what looked like a promising drive on their second possession of the third quarter with junior Nathaniel Harvey moving the ball 37 yards on four consecutive carries, but the Knights quarterback Dylon Alexander was picked off by Wakefield's Harrison Mull on a first down.
"Mistakes that we didn't make against Millbrook in our opener, we made tonight, and we can't do that," said Knightdale coach Rob Senseney. "But anytime that we struggle, it ultimately comes down to the head coach."
Mitch found Fielleteau for another score just seconds into the fourth quarter, putting the Wolverines up 34-0.
Sink said while he was happy with his team's offensive play early on, it was the defense that stepped up to make the points count.
When the offense struggled to move the ball, the defense held strong, he said.
"Our defense is phenomenal," Sink said. "They play aggressive, they hit people. That's what we want in football."
Knightdale back-up quarterback William Lassiter got the Knights on the board late in the fourth quarter, connecting with Marquavious Johnson on a 39-yard touchdown play.
That score was too little too late to change the game.
"It all comes down to how well do we play," Senseney said. "The wins and losses take care of themselves. If you play well, you can win. We didn't come out and play well tonight."

My Name Is Mina (eBook)
My Name Is Mina (eBook)
Award-winning author David Almond reintroduces readers to the perceptive, sensitive Mina before the events of Skellig in this lyrical and fantastical work. My Name is Mina is not only a pleasure to read, it is an intimate and enlightening look at a character whose open mind and heart have much to teach us about life, love, and the mysteries that surround us.
Mina loves the night. While everyone else is in a deep slumber, she gazes out the window, witness to the moon's silvery light. In the stillness, she can even hear her own heart beating. This is when Mina feels that anything is possible and her imagination is set free.
A blank notebook lies on the table. It has been there for what seems like forever. Mina has proclaimed in the past that she will use it as a journal, and one night, at last, she begins to do just that. As she writes, Mina makes discoveries both trivial and profound about herself and her world, her thoughts and her dreams.
From the Hardcover edition.
About the Author
DAVID ALMOND grew up in a large family in northeastern England and says, "The place and the people have given me many of my stories." His first novel for children, Skellig, was a Michael L. Printz Honor Book and an ALA-ALSC Notable Children's Book and appeared on many best book of the year lists. His second novel, Kit's Wilderness, won the Michael L. Printz Award for Excellence in Young Adult Literature.
Praise for My Name Is Mina…
Starred Review, Publishers Weekly, August 15, 2011:
"Almond gives readers a vivid picture of the joyfully free-form workings of Mina's mind and her mixed emotions about being an isolated child. Her gradual emergence from the protective shell of home is beautifully portrayed as she gingerly ventures out into the world. Not as dark, but just as passionate as Almond's previous works, this novel will inspire children to let their imaginations soar."
Starred Review, Booklist, September 15, 2011:
Almond is rather brave to have written a prequel to Skellig (1998), a book that was the essence of originality. So many things could have gone wrong. But he is too shrewd—and fine—a writer to let that happen. This is the story of Mina, the girl next door who, in Skellig, helped Michael cope with the man he found in his garage eating dead flies and growing wings. Who was Mina before Michael arrived? Form as well as language bring Mina alive. Her journal introduces us to this authoritative, imaginative, irascible child, and her entries appear in her childlike penmanship; the print is big and bold when she finds a word she loves ("METEMPSYCHOSIS!"), and she uses concrete poetry as she plays with language and thoughts. And what thoughts! Mina is homeschooled, because, well, because she's Mina, and she needs expanses of time to think about myths and mathematics. She dreams of her dead father and wonders, wonders, wonders about birds. It is the birds that will lead readers into Skellig—that, and glimpses of Michael and his family moving next door. This book stands very much alone, but the sense of wonder that pervades the smallest details of everyday life remains familiar.
— Ilene Cooper
The New York Times Book Review, October 16, 2011:
"Mina is a perceptive, fiercely curious, and defiant but sensitive girl who will surely prove a heroine for many."

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - A new center now open in Nashville will provide free one-on-one financial counseling to city residents.
Mayor Karl Dean cut the ribbon on the Nashville Financial Empowerment Center at the Foster Street Center on Tuesday. The center's mission is to provide residents with free access to financial counselors, and teach clients how to open safe and affordable checking accounts, establish a credit score, maintain a positive balance, decrease debt and maintain savings.
"This is not just another social program," said Nashville Mayor Karl Dean. "It's an innovative integrated professional approach to improving financial situation of Nashvillians."
The center was created through collaboration with the mayor's office and the United Way and is funded by a $2 million grant from Bloomberg Philanthropies through the Cities for Financial Empowerment Fund. Nashville is one of only five U.S. cities to receive the grant money. Under the three year grant, the city aims to help 5,000 people.
At the Foster Street Center, Casa Azafran Community Center, and several satellite locations city wide, financial councilors are ready to answer any financial questions residents have.
"When you educate someone on their finances it allows them to grow financially," said financial counselor Kathy Payne. "We are excited about this program to be the tool to take that next step."
Coordinators hope the end result is a stronger financial outlook for not only residents, but the entire city.
"We really want people to get to a point where they can not only save but build assets and then give back to the community," said Tracey Dill, with the United Way.
To make an appointment, you can call the United Way hotline at 211. The first appointments will be scheduled starting Monday. Participants will be directed to one of the two centers, or satellite offices closest to them.

ALBION, Calif. — It boasts an audacious history, this business of water in the West. From dams the size of mountains to aqueducts across the desert, the landscape has been re-plumbed in ways Mother Nature never pondered. Water percolates through some of the best fiction and most of the best fights.
Even dreamy schemes to capture icebergs or run transcontinental pipelines bubble up from time to time, which is why folks here on the scenic North Coast are keeping a close eye on a plan they brand a classic Southern California water grab--"Chinatown" in a giant Baggie.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 46 points, or 0.3%, to 13825.33, notching its fourth consecutive multi-year high.
The Standard & Poor's 500-stock index ended the day almost exactly where it started, edging up 0.01 point, to 1494.82. The technology sector led losses in the index, declining 2%. The Nasdaq Composite Index, which has Apple as its biggest component, declined 23.29 points, or 0.7%, to 3130.38.
Shares of Apple dove to their lowest levels in 11 months after the tech heavyweight reported revenue that fell short of expectations and underwhelming iPhone sales.
Opinion "has soured on the name, and the stock price reflects that," said Terry Sandven, chief U.S. equity strategist with U.S. Bank Wealth Management.

Blue chips were bolstered by a better-than-expected labor-market report. The number of U.S. workers filing new applications for jobless benefits fell to 330,000 in the latest week, the lowest level in five years.
The data is "great news for next Friday's payrolls number," said Doug Cote, chief market strategist at ING Investment Management, which oversees $170 billion in assets. The next closely watched monthly employment report is due Feb. 1.
Markit's preliminary reading on U.S. manufacturing rose to 56.1 in January from 54.0 the previous month, the strongest report since March 2011. Readings above 50 indicate growth.

The U.S.-listed shares of Nokia slid after the company swung back to a profit in the fourth quarter, but said it would suspend its dividend.
Apple's results also weighed on Asian markets, which ended mostly lower despite preliminary data showing manufacturing activity in China accelerated in January. China's Shanghai Composite fell 0.8%. But Japan's Nikkei Stock Average rose 1.3%, bouncing from a slide in the previous session, as a weakening in the yen boosted exporters.
The dollar eased against the euro, but shot up against the yen as investors took a cue from a warning by Japan's top currency official against the currency's rise in an interview with The Wall Street Journal.
Crude-oil futures for March delivery rebounded from a steep Wednesday decline, gaining 0.8% to settle at $95.95 a barrel. Front-month gold futures for January delivery lost 1% to $1,669.50 a troy ounce. Yields on the benchmark U.S. 10-year Treasury bond rose to 1.842% as prices fell.

Sacramental Preparation for Confirmation
This year Good Shepherd Parish will be offering the sacrament of Confirmation to eligible students in eighth grade, and to those in higher grades who have not yet been confirmed.
Ordinarily, candidates for Confirmation are required to complete the prior year of catechesis as well as the current year through a Parish Religious Education Program (PREP) and/or attendance at a Catholic School. This year, our pastor is waiving the requirement for the prior year of catechesis.
Candidates must also have received the sacraments of Baptism and Holy Eucharist.
The program will consist of 30 hours of catechesis (religious education) plus 8 classes of confirmation preparation. Candidates may choose to attend religious education classes on Sunday mornings or Wednesday evenings. Sunday classes will be offered at Good Shepherd Church from 9:15-10:45am; Wednesday classes will be held from 6:30 to 7:45pm at Good Shepherd School. In February, confirmation classes will begin, and will be offered at Good Shepherd School from 9:15-10:45am, concluding with participation in the 11am Mass at Good Shepherd.
Service hours are also required, as is participation in a confirmation retreat. Confirmation will be conferred on May 15, 2014.
If you have any questions, please contact Terri Yackley at the parish office: 410-642-6534, ext. 12, or email@example.com.

Finally! Scientific research backs up my perennial gripe about the soul-killing, society-destroying effects of online comments. A study published last month on the website of the Journal of Computer-Mediated Communication (which does not allow comments) shows that comments can actually sway the perceptions and opinions of otherwise objective readers.
Researchers from George Mason University and the University of Wisconsin-Madison set up a fake blog with a news item on a new (and also fake) technological product called nanosilver that had several benefits and several risks. They then created two versions of the news post, one with comments that ran the gamut from supportive to skeptical but were civil, and one where the comments ran the same gamut but contained rude outbursts, obscenities and attacks on other commenters.

We're focusing on your kids and their back-to-school checkups. We got a very interesting answer to a viewer question about younger kids being screened for cholesterol
It turns out that with obesity rates tripling in teens in the last 10 years and doubling in children, the recommendation is getting younger and younger.
"What's changed is we're recommending at children by age 10 we're explaining should be tested for cholesterol b/c we discovered that if you don't test all children you'll miss about 50 percent who have high cholesterol!" says Doctor Patrick McBride with the UW.
The experts have been working toward this recommendation for years. The American Academy of Pediatrics is extending its recommendation to screen any kids who are overweight or who have a family history of heart disease, to universally checking kids by age ten.
The recommendation is new, so hasn't hit pediatricians broadly, but it will likely become more of a standard in the next several months as you get your children in for those back-to-school checkups.
Even in children, one unhealthy, fast food meal can create blockages in the arteries!
