Vandals hit two homes and 22 cars with eggs on two Congers streets, according to Clarkstown police.
Police are seeking the public's help in identifying those responsible for the eggings.
The eggings were discovered about 7:15 a.m. Saturday when a homeowner on South Congers Avenue discovered his home had been hit eggs. A town police officer checking the area discovered that nine cars on the street had also been hit with eggs.
At 8 a.m., a homeowner on South Harrison Avenue reported that his house had also been egged. Police then found 13 cars on the street had been hit by eggs.
A car was also hit by eggs over the weekend in Bardonia, but police said they do not believe that incident was related to the ones in Congers.
Anyone with information about these incidents is asked to call police at 845-639-5800.

National Review Online has the transcript of Fred Thompson's speech Saturday to the members of the Council for National Policy. The speech is being panned in some quarters of the blogosphere, primarily because it wasn't much of a campaign stemwinder, but the criticism is off base as Thompson said at the outset of the speech that it wouldn't be.
One thing about folks knowing you are going to speak at the Council for National Policy, you get lots of advice as to what to say. A lot of good advice. Good talking points. In fact enough for several speeches. Also, some of your friends, knowing that you are thinking about running for President, urge you to give a rousing campaign speech.
Hopefully there will be an opportunity to do all of those things but tonight instead of all of that, I want to talk a little about what should be the origin of all those talking points. This would be the principles on which they are based — first principles. The principles you have been defending since 1981.
For Americans, these are found in the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. They include a recognition of God and the fact there are certain rights that come from Him and not the government. They are based upon a respect for the wisdom of the ages, and a belief that human beings are prone to err; that too much power must never rest in too few hands. The result is a system of checks and balances and a separation of powers that flow from our guiding documents and from the rule of law.
Finally, if we want to change or alter these concepts or any provision in the Constitution, we are given a specific method to do that — by Constitutional Amendment.
So how are we doing as a nation in upholding these first principles? The answer is we could be doing better … a lot better.
Thompson's speech to the Lincoln Club of Orange County, California, was also panned for not being a rousing campaign stump speech, but it's clear to this observer that Thompson is purposely keeping it low-key right now, and giving speeches that lay the foundation for the future focus of his campaign. Thompson clearly wants that foundation to be the "first principles" of America, and his commitment to federalism.

Guide Review - Sony VAIO VGN-P530H/R 8-inch Netbook Subnotebook Laptop PC
Mar 5 2009 - The Sony VAIO P has a very different layout from other netbooks because of its unique 8-inch screen that features a surprising high 1600x768 resolution. The screen is amazingly colorful and sharp but at such a high resolution it can be difficult to read unless you modify the font or dpi settings within Windows.
With the screen sized the way it is, the keyboard layout is also quite different. Sony decided to use the chicklet style keys found on its standard laptops and it also takes up almost the entire size of the laptop. This makes it more spacious than traditional netbooks and very comfortable to use. One big difference though is the removal of a trackpad pointing device and the placement of a trackpoint device within the keyboard. I actually prefer this type of pointer but this may bother some.
The VAIO P is certainly one of the smallest and lightest netbooks on the market. It is less than an inch thick and weighs only a pound and a half fully equipped. Most netbooks even with their smallest batteries tends to weigh over two pounds. Even with these tiny dimensions don't expect this thing to easily fit in a pants pocket.
Beyond its extremely small size, Sony has produced one of the best looking and attractive netbooks on the market. It comes in a the standard black and white colors but many people will probably find the red and green versions much more distinctive.
One of the big problems that the VAIO P has is performance. It is powered by the Intel Atom Z520 processor that is slower than the more traditional N270. Combine this with the Vista operating system and the system can be incredibly slow even though the system ships with the maximum 2GB of memory compared to the 1GB of XP based netbooks.

Cardinal Keith O'Brien was not the right man to raise the issues which a full, historic and proper discussion of the mandatory nature of this ancient and revered discipline of mandatory clerical celibacy for priests deserves.Given the challenges Christ's Church faces, and the necessary purification which she is undergoing, I doubt the question the question of mandatory celibacy in the Latin or Western Catholic Church is high on the agenda.
Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)
2/25/2013 (1 year ago)
Published in Europe
Keywords: celibacy, mandatory celibacy, chastity, chaste marriage, priesthood, Cardinal Keith O'Brien, married clerics, ordinariate, byzantine, married priests, Deacon Keith Fournier
EDINBURH, Scotland (Catholic Online) - Pope Benedict XVI's resignation of his office and the call for a papal conclave where his successor will be elected have brought a myriad of press reports, opinion pieces and editorials concerning the Catholic Church. Among the media's preoccupations is an old one, clerical celibacy in the Roman Catholic Church.
The most recent venture into that matter involved an interview by the BBC with Cardinal Keith O'Brien. I originally used that article to weigh in on the issue it raised, whether the Latin or Western Catholic Church practice regarding mandatory celbiacy among the men it calls to the order of priest might ever be relaxed to allow both celibate and married candidates in the discernment process.
Sadly, within a day, allegations regarding Cardinal O'Briens allegedly immoral behavior some thirty years ago emerged. I do not know the Cardinal. So, as I do with all thosewho are in ordered service to the Lord and His Catholic Church, especially Bishops, I presumed the best about him.
Further, given his recent strong defense of marriage as between only one man and one woman, I wondered whether he was being singled out by some who seek to remake the Church into their own image. There is no doubt that there are those - both within the contemporary culture and within the Catholic Church - who seek to argue that homosexual practice be given a moral and legal equivalence with true marriage and the family and society founded upon it.
Next, an announcement was made that the Cardinal denied the allegations and had sought legal counsel. My hopes continued. Finally, came the news on Monday February 25, 2013 that the Cardinal had sumitted his resignation. The timing was certainly of interest. My prayers are with him, with those making the allegations, and with the Church, and perhaps civil tribunal, which must judge them. These are trying times.
The Cardinal indicated he submitted his resignation in accordance with the requirements of his office on his 75th birthday, February 18, 2013 and that it was only accepted by the Holy Father on Monday Feb. 25, 2013. Of course, the details surrounding these allegations and this entire incident cast a cloud on his comments to the BBC. This turn of events, along with what I presumed was his inarticulate expression of his position, also renders him a less than helpful proponent of the issue.
However, I believe that the issue still merits discussion. The ancient practice of choosing celibate or married men for priestly ordination is still the norm in the Eastern Catholic Churches (Byzantine). The decision for marriage or consecrated celibacy is made prior to the first clerical ordination to the diaconate. Both married and celibate men can then be considered for ordination to the priesthood from the ranks of deacons. Bishops are always celibate and monastic. Even in the instances of married men ordained, as deacons or priests, those ordained clerics pledge not to remarry should their spouse die.
Rather than rely on one of the many secondary scholarly sources which surround the discussion of this matter - both for an against - I undergird my claim with a reference to the Catechism of the Catholic Church. It should settle the truth of the observation for most, except perhaps a few traditionalist brethren who simply do not like the practice and may still be suspect of the Catechism. These paragraphs are taken from the treatment of Holy orders in Article Six of the Official Catechism of the Catholic Church. I commend this entire section to all who want to understand the issues surrounding the gift of ordained service to the whole Church.
The Catechism text contains important footnotes to sources of authority, drawn from the Scriptures and the Sacred tradition, which are well worth studying. Remember, if you want to know what the Catholic Church REALLY teaches, go first to the Scriptures and to the Catechism. In an age which reflects a decreasing respect for the Church, this task is essential! In addition, even in the ranks of those who are faithful Catholics, opinions can often be confused with official teachings of the Church.Here are the words of the Catechism:
"Only a baptized man (vir) validly receives sacred ordination." The Lord Jesus chose men (viri) to form the college of the twelve apostles, and the apostles did the same when they chose collaborators to succeed them in their ministry. The college of bishops, with whom the priests are united in the priesthood, makes the college of the twelve an ever-present and ever-active reality until Christ's return. The Church recognizes herself to be bound by this choice made by the Lord himself. For this reason the ordination of women is not possible. "
"No one has a right to receive the sacrament of Holy Orders. Indeed no one claims this office for himself; he is called to it by God. Anyone who thinks he recognizes the signs of God's call to the ordained ministry must humbly submit his desire to the authority of the Church, who has the responsibility and right to call someone to receive orders. Like every grace this sacrament can be received only as an unmerited gift. "
"All the ordained ministers of the Latin Church, with the exception of permanent deacons, are normally chosen from among men of faith who live a celibate life and who intend to remain celibate "for the sake of the kingdom of heaven." Called to consecrate themselves with undivided heart to the Lord and to "the affairs of the Lord," they give themselves entirely to God and to men. Celibacy is a sign of this new life to the service of which the
Church's minister is consecrated; accepted with a joyous heart celibacy radiantly proclaims the Reign of God."
"In the Eastern Churches a different discipline has been in force for many centuries: while bishops are chosen solely from among celibates, married men can be ordained as deacons and priests. This practice has long been considered legitimate; these priests exercise a fruitful ministry within their communities. Moreover, priestly celibacy is held in great honor in the Eastern Churches and many priests have freely chosen it for the sake of the Kingdom of God. In the East as in the West a man who has already received the sacrament of Holy Orders can no longer marry." (CCC #1577 - 1579)
Now, to another aspect of this topic which some Catholics do not know, there are already married clerics in the Western or Latin Rite Catholic Church. First, there are married clerics in the Order of Deacons. The restoration of the Order was promoted by the Second Vatican Council. Its ranks are open to both married and celibate men. Remember, married men become clerics when they are ordained as deacons. They are no longer laymen. Thus the oxymoron "lay deacons" reflects a lack of good teaching and is just plain wrong.
The adjective permanent, often used to describe married deacons, does not change the nature of the ordination or what is sacramentally conferred with the imposition of the Bishops hands on the ordinand. A deacon is a deacon. Rather, it denotes the intention of the deacon to remain in that rank of ordered service. A transitional deacon intends to be considered for ordination to the priesthood.
Second, we have a growing body of married men who have been ordained to the Catholic priesthood. For these men the discipline of celibacy was dispensed by the Church prior to ordination. Most come from other Christian communities. The most visible and fastest growing of these priests are coming to us as a gift, through the Ordinariates established for groups of former Anglicans coming into full communion with the Catholic Church.
Sadly, many Press reports, opinion pieces and editorials often pose the question this way, "Should priests be allowed to marry?" That reveals either a complete misunderstanding of the issues and the history or an agenda. The real issue is whether already married men should be allowed to discern a vocation to the priesthood and, if chosen by the Church, to be ordained?
Consecrated celibacy is a prophetic sign and a gift to the whole Church which was instituted and lived by Jesus, demonstrated in the lives of many of the Apostles, confirmed in the earliest witness of the ancient Church and confirmed in the unbroken tradition of the Church. (See, e.g., Matt. 19:12)
Consecrated Christian marriage is also a prophetic sign and a gift to the whole Church, especially in an age which is so preoccupied with rejecting marriage at its own peril and replacing it with profane counterfeits. At the foundation of both chaste, consecrated celibacy and chaste, sacramental marriage is a call to live the nuptial or spousal mystery in which they both participate.
The consecrated celibate does so in an immediate and prophetic way, while the married man does so in a mediated way, through his chaste love with one woman and the couple's openness to life. Both responses have a prophetic dimension as well as a pastoral one. After all, when love is perfected and complete in the Resurrection there will be no marriage.
The teaching of Jesus on this is quite clear. In heaven there will be no marriage. (See, e.g, Mt. 22:30, Mk. 12:25) We will all be married to the Lamb and live in the eternal communion of Trinitarian Love where all love is completed and perfected. (See, Rev 19:7-10)
To use an old clich� some of my best friends are priests, both celibate and married. They are living their vocation to the priesthood with dignity and holiness. Within that community of celibate and married priests, there are different expressions in the one priesthood of Jesus Christ.
The Eastern Church, both Catholic and Orthodox, often assigns married priests to different types of ministry than celibate priests. Similarly, in the Latin rite, married men ordained to the priesthood serve in a manner that reflects and respects their state in life and offers its pastoral witness as a gift to the whole Church.
In the Eastern Catholic Church where there has been an unbroken tradition and practice of admitting both celibate and married men to the order of deacon and priest, the men must have married before ordination as deacons. In the Code of Canon Law for the Eastern Churches we read:
"Clerical celibacy chosen for the Kingdom of Heaven and suited to the priesthood is to be greatly esteemed everywhere, as supported by the tradition of the whole church; likewise, the hallowed practice of married clerics in the primitive church and in the tradition of the Eastern Churches throughout the ages is to be held in honor."
"Clerics, celibate or married, are to excel in the virtue of chastity; it is for the particular law to establish suitable means for pursuing this end. In leading family life and in educating children married clergy are to show an outstanding example to other Christian faithful." (Canons # 373-375)
For the Press who may be reading this opinion piece and looking for some news, Catholics already have married clergy, deacons and priests. For Catholic Christians, we must learn from this fact and trust that the Lord is behind it. We must also trust that his plan for its placement in the one mission of His One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Caththe Church is just that, His plan.He will unfold it through those whom he has chosen to lead His Church.
The prophetic witness of consecrated celibacy has endured beyond the ranks of celibate clergy. It is also preserved in the inspired vowed life of monastic orders, the sacrificial witness of religious men and women, and the increasing new ecclesial associations of lay men and woman, who have chosen it, not to avoid marriage, but to enter more fully into the very nuptial or spousal mystery that marriage also reveals, but in a unique and prophetic way.
When I was invited to Holy Orders as a deacon, I knew that it was a vocation. As a Married man I pledged to embrace celibacy if my wife should predecease me. My wife gave her consent. I soon came to understand the theology I had studied and have studied since; there truly is an ontological change which occurs at ordination. My life was turned upside down and has never been the same.
I personally believe there is room in the Catholic Church, East and West, for a both celibate and a married clergy, deacons and priests. Both consecrated celibacy and consecrated Christian marriage are a response to the universal call to holiness. They are also a gift to the whole Church because they both participate in the one nuptial or spousal mystery revealed in Jesus Christ.
However, what I personally believe is not the issue. It is what the Holy Spirit reveals in guiding the whole Catholic Church in this the Third Christian Millennium. For that, I look to the teaching office, the Magisterium of the Catholic Church.
Clearly, Cardinal Keith O'Brien was not the right man to raise the issues which a full, historic and proper discussion of the mandatory nature of this ancient and revered discipline of mandatory clerical celibacy for priests deserves.Given the challenges Christ's Church faces, and the necessary purification which she is undergoing, I doubt the question the question of mandatory celibacy in the Latin or Western Catholic Church is high on the agenda.

Technology has transformed the building sector since its inception – from compacted earth huts, to brick and mortar, to the breathtaking architectural possibilities of steel, advancements in materials and techniques have allowed human beings to build bigger, more beautiful structures for millennia.
That process shows no sign of slowing. Today, the burgeoning field of 3D printing stands to revolutionize the way we design and construct the places where we live, work, and play. Today's 3D printers are expensive – typically $10,000 to $60,000 each – and give material form to digital models through the layering of various malleable materials such as metallic pastes, plastics, or even concrete.
Current materials, such as steel, are limited by their manufacturing techniques – certain designs and shapes simply aren't possible given today's methods. 3D printing, however, allows computers to build up structures using complex algorithms, meaning that utility components or other features can be imbedded directly into structural elements, and also allowing for unprecedented possibility in architectural design.
Phase-changing Insulation to Transform Green Building
Check out the January issue of Construction Digital
The 3D printing process promises not only bold advances in building aesthetic, but also increased efficiencies in green building techniques as materials and dimensions become more precise and customizable. The technology also greatly expands the potential of biomimicry – the modeling of materials and designs off of the beautiful complexities and utility of natural forms.
Being able to directly translate digital designs into physical forms, given the rise in BIM and other powerful software suites, means big changes for the construction industry, and a chance for the building sector to jump headfirst into the 21st century.

Worries about rumors that it was covering up for corporate giant Alcoa helped persuade UNC-TV to air a series of reports without the usual editorial scrutiny.
Senate leader Marc Basnight, one of the state's most powerful politicians, was the source of some of those rumors.
Alcoa is seeking to renew its federal license to operate hydroelectric dams on the Yadkin River. The state is fighting the relicensing, and wants to take over the operation.
In a June 24 telephone call to UNC-TV General Manager Tom Howe, Basnight passed along rumors of efforts to suppress the report on Alcoa. According to Howe's notes, Basnight told him that correspondent Eszter Vajda's supervisor was "challenging her work and is not letting her tell her story as she found it."
E-mail, letters and memos exchanged among station managers reveal their worries over the rumors and their decision to respond by airing her report with minimal review. UNC-TV released those documents in response to a public information request.
Other e-mail exchanges showed that a friend of Vajda's who did research for her report took $3,000 from a consultant working for an anti-Alcoa group. Alcoa has challenged the accuracy and fairness of Vajda's reporting and released a draft memo from three UNC-Chapel Hill journalism faculty members that said they would not have accepted the work for broadcast in its current form.
An array of forces hostile to the company were pushing for the release of Vajda's story, one highly critical of Alcoa that aimed to present a case for a state takeover.
Basnight said in an interview Tuesday that he heard the cover-up allegations from two senators he trusted, Sens. Fletcher Hartsell and Stan Bingham.
"From what I got from Fletcher and Stan, someone above her was stopping her from the story," said Basnight, a Manteo Democrat. "That may be occurring. I did not know that to be occurring."
Vajda interviewed Hartsell, a Concord Republican, and Bingham, a Denton Republican, for her Alcoa report. Both senators want the state to take over control of Alcoa's Yadkin River dams. According to Howe's notes, Basnight told him during the telephone call that "Alcoa has exploited our state."
In the interview, Basnight said he didn't push Howe to get Vajda's story on television. But according to Howe's notes, Basnight told him, "I want you to make sure this story is told in an honest, unjaded, truthful appraisal of the situation without influence from anyone associated with Alcoa."
As the legislature was nearing votes on bills connected to the dams' ownership, Hartsell demanded UNC-TV send to his committee interviews Vajda had recorded.
Basnight's telephone call, along with second- and third-hand rumors getting back to station management about legislators' suspicions of a cover-up led UNC-TV to air Vajda's work without the usual oversight from producers. The story aired over three nights as segments on the evening news and information show "North Carolina Now." Two of the three carried a disclaimer that the station was taking the unprecedented step to air the reports without customary editorial reviews.
"Members of the General Assembly were persuaded we were suppressing Eszter's work," said Gail Zimmermann, UNC-TV's associate general manager. "One of our sources told us they were told if we got Eszter's material we would destroy it to protect Alcoa. We are not trying to protect Alcoa."
State Commerce Secretary Keith Crisco spoke to UNC-TV managers twice this year about Alcoa, once in April with Howe, and once on June 28, when he met with director of productions Shannon Vickery at the station's headquarters. Both Crisco and UNC-TV managers described the meetings as informational.
Crisco's spokesman, in ane-mailed response to questions, described the June 28 discussion as "an informational meeting advising UNC-TV of some of the legislative timing surrounding these issues and offering that sharing a story with viewers sooner than later might provide valuable and timely information while important policy discussions were taking place. There was no assurance that stories would be running at any particular time."
Vickery said she did not feel Crisco was pressuring the station to air the story.
Howe was not available for an interview, but according to his notes, Basnight went on to suggest improper influence by Alcoa over Vajda's supervisor and told Howe that no one at the station should punish Vajda.
Vickery, Vajda's supervisor, said she was not working with Alcoa to suppress the story and doesn't know how such rumors got started.
E-mail exchanges between Vajda and Vickery suggest a disagreement over whether the Alcoa story should run as segments on "North Carolina Now" or as a documentary.
The day after his telephone conversation with Basnight, Howe wrote to assure him that Alcoa was not influencing the station's actions.
"I am completely confident that no impropriety of any sort exists in regard to the editorial or production processes associated with this project," he wrote.
Three faculty members at UNC-Chapel Hill's journalism school drafted a scathing critique of the Alcoa segments.
"It is our view that UNC-TV management should have not wavered in light of such criticism; should have maintained editorial control and reported the story."

Good Samaritan Regional Health Center will officially open its doors and begin the transfer of patients from its existing facility on Sunday.
Hospital officials are estimating that the transfer of patients from the existing facility to the new location on Veterans Memorial Drive will take about seven hours to complete, based upon the estimated number of patients receiving care in the current facility. Collaboration with area emergency management services will provide the 18 ambulances needed to move patients.
The move will begin at 7 a.m.
"We've spent over a year planning and practicing for this day," said Mike Warren, president of Good Samaritan Regional Health Center. "With the knowledge of our local team and EMS along with industry experts with years of experience in guiding hospitals through patient moves like this, we've worked hard to ensure this transition is as seamless and as safe as possible."
Several streets will be blocked during the move to accommodate medical personnel, although the route is not being disclosed for the protection of the patients.
"We're assisting the hospital with the move," Chief of Police Chris Mendenall offered.
"Patients will be moved in an ambulance that is specifically equipped for their needs, along with a dedicated transport nurse and care team that will stay with them until they are settled into their new all-private patient room," stated Judy Haynes, Good Samaritan patient move coordinator.
During the move, hospital visitors will be limited to two per patient on Sunday. Normal hours of 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. will resume on Monday, hospital officials stated in a news release. Emergency services will begin at 7 a.m. Sunday.
"It's amazing the support received for this project — over 10,000 people from all over Southern Illinois visited our new campus during our open houses in early January and now as we open the doors, we're finally able to give the regional what is so deserves, a state-of-the-art health care facility," Warren added.
The five-floor hospital holds 134 beds, 8 observation beds, all-private rooms and numerous patient safety features. The hospital also includes Emergency Care services, a Women's Center and Procedure Center.
Announced in 2009, the new hospital was built to replace the existing hospital, which has served the Mt. Vernon community since 1952. The new $237 million facility broke ground in April 2010 and was built by McCarthy Builders of St. Louis, Lipps Construction of Mt. Vernon and Shores Builders of Centralia.
The existing campus on North 12th Street is being sold to Shores Builders. It will be demolished and returned to green lots for potential development.

Pre-Law Program at Miami University
Student Organizations
If you are interested in law, consider joining a law-related student organization. For more information about each of these organizations, please contact Student Activities and Leadership.
Amicus Curiae, Pre-Law Society
Amicus Curiae, Pre-Law Society is a pre-professional organization for students interested in the practice of law. Amicus Curiae was originally chartered on Miami's campus in the 1960s, but later chartered a Pre-Law Chapter of Phi Alpha Delta (PAD) Law Fraternity in 2001. In 2009, the organization reverted to its previous name and is no longer affiliated with PAD. Amicus Curiae organizes seminars and workshops on law school and legal practice, law school trips, community service projects, LSAT study groups, and social events for its members and members of other law-related organizations.
Mock Trial Team
Mock Trial is an intercollegiate competition among schools across the country. At the beginning of each year, teams are given a fictional legal case, complete with witness affidavits and applicable case law. According to the American Mock Trial Association, through engaging in trial simulations in competition with teams from other institutions, students develop critical thinking and public speaking skills, as well as knowledge of legal practices and procedures. Miami's team has done very well over the years, winning both regional and national competitions.
[Read the press release for the 2014 national competition.]
Associated Student Government
The Associated Student Government, like our federal government, has a three-branch structure. The executive branch consists of the Student Body President and Executive Council. The legislative branch, chaired by the Executive Vice President, consists of the Student Senate, a body of 49 elected student representatives. The judicial branch, Student Court, consists of 15 justices who act as student advocates, and as jurors for non-suspendable disciplinary cases.

Time Out's "EatOut" Awards--Jade
This place is nominated for "Best New Queens Restaurant" but Danny Brown isn't? How annoying. Clearly no one from Time Out knows anything about the (admittedly pathetic) scene in Forest Hills.
I think the magazine has to have reviewed it before they add it to any lists. If Danny Borwn wasn't reviewed, then it won't get on the list. But I'll be honest, I'm glad Jade's on the list. It may not be as good, but it's definitely not bad. Better than a lot of Manhattan places. And better it than no FH restaurants at all. If Jade fails then I highly doubt that the space will be re-leased to something as financially iffy as a restaurant unless it's a chain. So the Chowhound badmouthing may result in a Chili's.

Half a block of Hollywood Boulevard collapsed Thursday into a cavernous and muddy sinkhole above subway construction, shutting down tunneling under the famous thoroughfare for at least two months and closing down businesses and a nearby psychiatric hospital.
A burst water main had weakened the earth between the street and the tunnel, causing huge chunks of pavement to break. The enormous, water-filled sinkhole--70 feet square and growing--cracked open the street directly in front of the busy Barnsdall Park construction staging site for the subway. Officials were investigating what caused the pipe to break.

Two local students will help shape education for Native Americans.
Bailee Allen and Tyler Hill have been elected to the youth advisory board for the White House Initiative on American Indians and Alaska Native Education. They will serve two-year terms as at-large representatives for Oklahoma.
The students were elected during a conference of the Oklahoma Council for Indian Education in Midwest City, said David Walkingstick, Muskogee Public Schools' director of Indian Education. He said Bailee and Tyler will represent 130,000 Native American students from 39 federally recognized tribes in Oklahoma.
It's great to see when youth actively participate in their — and others' — futures.
Education is important to Muskogee's future. It is important to get feedback from those who are being educated.
Bailee said she hopes to get some Indian Education officials to set up an educational training program.
Tyler said another idea is to set up a program to show students "what could happen to students if they don't stay in school."
These are great ideas, and we wish these two students well in their endeavors.

From 2006 to 2011, the Jug stayed at Mapleton, and Lake Crystal Wellcome Memorial grabbed it last year.
But absence made the heart grow fonder, and the Eagles wanted it back.
"Sometimes you get spoiled when you have it six years in a row," Maple River coach Chad Ostermann said. "When you lose it, you want it back."
Jaron Denn scored 18 points, including 13 in a key stretch late in the first half, as Maple River defeated Lake Crystal Wellcome Memorial 69-49 in a Valley Conference boys basketball game Friday in Lake Crystal. The victory sends the Jug back to Mapleton, and the Eagles players celebrated heartily when they got that oversized coffee cup after the final horn.
"Last year, we had a lot of injuries, and everyone said they still would have won.," Denn said. "This proves that it would have been different last year."
LCWM led 19-17 until the Eagles finished the first half on a 19-6 run, keyed by Denn.
The Knights closed the gap to five twice in the early part of the second half, but again the Eagles were stronger at the end, using a 13-1 run over the final four minutes to stretch the margin.
"We were terrible in the first half, and we played better in the second half," Denn said. "We need to learn from our mistakes and keep getting better."
Denn also had 10 rebounds, and Ben Larson scored 13 points with six boards. Michael Lewis scored 10, and Zach Krengel had eight rebounds.
"We have a lot of players that know when to step up and make a basket," Ostermann said. "We have some good balance."
For LCWM, Michael Coates had 17 points and six rebounds, Bryson Yackel added 14 points and Lucas Hesser had 10.
With Maple River jumping to the Gopher Conference next season, Ostermann said he hopes the Jug series, which began in the 1970s, can continue.
Maple River (11-2, 6-0 in Valley) plays today against Roncalli, Wis., at the Midwest Players Classic at La Crosse, Wis. LCWM (7-7, 5-2) plays Tuesday at Mountain Lake Area.

The Hillsborough Police Department will begin participating Friday in the state campaign to crack down on drunk drivers: "Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over."
The campaign, which runs through Sept. 3, will include sobriety checkpoints and roving patrols, looking for motorists who may be intoxicated, according to a statement released by Hillsborough Police.
"The campaign helps to raise awareness about the dangers of drinking and driving through high-visibility enforcement and public education tools, including posters, banners and mobile video display signs," according to the statement.
The program launched in 1999 and aims to "combat drunk driving during some of the busiest travel times of the year," the statement said.

In a note to the school community that went out Monday, she quoted Baltimore Ravens Linebacker Ray Lewis, who announced his retirement effective at the end of the NFL season. "All things that start have an end."
After 14 years at the school, Brandon said the decision was bittersweet. "While I am excited about trying something new, I am sad about walking away from the one thing that has given my work purpose for the past 26 years—kids."
Chaminade College Preparatory School will see a pair of principal changes. The school announced that Dr. Louis Peters and Michael Bander will from their respective posts at the high school and middle school levels.
Philip Rone, an associate principal will assume the high school principal's responsibilities while Todd Guidry will take on the middle school's responsibilities after 6 years in campus ministry.

"This was the perfect holiday card and turned out just as it appeared on screen. We had gotten quite a few comments about our card this past holiday season."
"I loved the quality of the cards, this is my second order, and will be placing another for my daughter's graduation invitations. The service is quick and fast and the pictures come as clear as submitted. I just love this company. I will recommend them to all my family and friends."
"My cards turned out great. The colors are fantastic. I thought the wording/title went nicely for my situation... a VERY late new year's card. I liked that it didn't say Happy New Year on it."
"Still addressing the envelopes but my husband and I are most impressed about how nice the colors look. And although he was uneasy about the script on the back side we both are extremely pleased with the great results."
"The cards are thick and of good quality, and the picture colors came out true. The text print is excellent. They also arrived several days earlier than expected (I ordered standard shipping). My only request is that there was an option for the back that would allow handwritten notes before the cards are sent out."

Where To Work If You Want A Raise
Pay for many is stagnant, but these parts of the economy remain vibrant.
High unemployment usually means stagnant pay, since a huge supply of available workers allows companies to pay less for the talent they need. That in fact seems to be happening. Since 2007, when the recession began, average weekly earnings have risen just 6.6. percent. That's slightly better than inflation, but low by historical standards. And millions of unemployed people are drawing no paycheck at all, so their earnings have plummeted.
[See 10 industries where pay is most depressed.]
Some workers continue to thrive, however, and figuring out who they are reveals parts of the economy that remain vibrant. To determine where wages are rising the most, I analyzed data from the government's Bureau of Labor Statistics to gauge the change in average hourly pay between 2007 and 2010 in about 70 industries. Inflation over that time ran about 5.2 percent, yet in these fields, average pay increases ranged from 11.3 percent to 34.3 percent. That's a healthy segment of workers who are getting ahead, even after discounting for inflation. Here are 10 industries where pay has risen the most since 2007:
Marketing consultants. Average hourly pay: $36.23. Change since 2007: 34.3 percent.
That big boost in pay sounds like positive spin, but consultants are earning more because companies that laid off their own full-time staffers are now contracting out for the work. Those comfortable juggling multiple clients can benefit, but it's a comedown for reluctant consultants who would rather work for a single employer.
Package delivery. Average hourly pay: $19.05. Change since 2007: 27.5 percent.
Couriers like FedEx, UPS and R+L Carriers have benefited from strong corporate profits and the ever-broadening global economy. Hiring is up, and so is pay.
Internet publishing. Average hourly pay: $33.55 Change since 2007: 25.6 percent.
Google, Facebook, Twitter and hundreds of other booming Web-based business have made this one of the fastest-growing parts of the U.S. economy. Consider yourself lucky if you work in this industry.
[See why jobs are rebounding but pay isn't.]
Data processing/networking. Average hourly pay: $31.57. Change since 2007: 22 percent.
Corporate America is wired, and needs continual service and upgrades to keep its networks in tip-top shape. That means plenty of work for firms like EDS and Convergys and their employees.
Membership groups. Average hourly pay: $22.97. Change since 2007: 20.3 percent
Donations to some nonprofits have dipped, but pay has held up at charitable organizations, advocacy groups, and business associations. With change afoot in Washington, D.C., groups with a lobbying focus have intensified their activities.
Recycling and specialized waste disposal. Average hourly pay: $26.17. Change since 2007: 19 percent.
Run-of-the-mill garbage pickup isn't a growth industry, but recycling is. Ever-increasing environmental awareness is good for business at waste firms that specialize in cleanup or remediation.
[See why the middle-aged are missing out on new jobs.]
Management. Average hourly pay: $32.76 Change since 2007: 17.4 percent.
Managers have survived the tumult of the last few years better than the rank and file at many firms. But that entails a lot more than clocking in from 9 to 5 these days. Companies are increasingly complex, requiring specialized skills and long hours for some managers.
Outpatient healthcare centers. Average hourly pay: $26.61. Change since 2007: 14.7 percent.
As everybody knows, a hospital stay can be outrageously expensive, which is why clinics and other outpatient facilities are increasingly popular—and there's strong demand for healthcare workers to staff them.
[See why baby boomers are bummed out.]
Hospitals. Average hourly pay: $27.23. Change since 2007: 12.2 percent.
Despite growing efforts to lower costs, hospitals should stay as busy as ever thanks to an aging population and the baby boomers' retirement years.
Traditional publishing. Average hourly pay: $33.20 Change since 2007: 11.3 percent.
It's paradoxical, but pay has ticked upward even as magazine, newspaper and book publishers have lost revenue and readers have migrated to digital media. With fewer workers, it's possible that raises have loosened up for those who are left.

I made this and the glass jar exploded sending little shards of glass every where in my kitchen even into the refrigerator and ceiling. DO NOT PUT A LID ON THE JAR, cover with a dish towel or something light.UPDATE : The glass jar is the problem, use a crock like you would for pickles or sauerkraut. It needs to be sealed for the fermenting process but not with a glass jar.
Got my starter made and needed to do something with my fruit. I took a cake mix...I had french vanilla on hand and added 3 eggs, 3/4 oil & about 3/4 cup water and two cups fruit starter fruit chopped up. Made cupcakes and baked for 25 minutes at 350. Turned out great. Have my starter going for my 30 day cake now.
Peggy 's Kitchen
I had gotten a liquid starter 20 years ago, and did not have the fruit starter to start making the cakes again, then I found this recipe and it is just what I wanted and it turned out great. I had enough fruit to make three cakes, and enough juice to start all over again. Only this time I will have enough starters to give to friends.

LEAVITTSBURG - In the areas hardest hit by last Thursday's flood waters, many residents have spent the ensuing days trying to put the pieces back together.
Homeowners along Meadowbrook Drive forced to flee their property have since returned to find their houses and belongings in ruins.
"All of the basement was flooded," Jerry Moxley of 4370 Meadowbrook Drive said Tuesday. "Everything that was down there was totaled. We've just kind of been trying to go through a cleanup session."

Jerry Moxley of 4370 Meadowbrook Drive, Leavittsburg, points to the high water mark on Tuesday left by flood waters following last week's rain. Moxley and his family were forced to evacuate the home during Thursday's flood.
Tribune Chronicle / Ashley Newman
Last Wednesday's thunderstorms dumped nearly 4 inches of water on the Mahoning Valley. The Mahoning River crested at 16.21 feet about 11 p.m. Thursday. Normal flood stage for that portion of the river is 10 feet.
The flood waters forced Moxley and his family out of their home. While he was able to return Friday, the ordeal is far from over.
"The furnace and water tanks are shot," Moxley, who is a minister at Hoyt Street Church of God in Christ, said. "There isn't any structural damage to the outside that I can see. We expect the insurance people to come around soon to look at the damage."
Officials with Warren Township advised Moxley and others affected by the flood to place damaged items outside the home for pickup from 7 a.m to 3 p.m. today.
"We don't have a big work force with the road department, but we are going to do our best to go around and start picking stuff up," Trustee Kay Anderson said. "We'll pick things back up Monday and do another round of cleanup."
Anderson said the township will focus on the hardest-hit areas, including Meadowbrook Drive, Riverview Street and Eagle Creek Road.
Others in the community have taken the initiative in lending a helping hand to those families in need.
Newton Falls resident Jessica Hampton is volunteering in conjunction with Good Shepherd Community Church in Leavittsburg.
"We've helped about 31 families today," Hampton said. "I'm not so much involved in the cleanup, but trying to help people recover."
This recovery process includes collecting donations from local residents and businesses, according to Hampton. The Sunrise Inn in Warren has committed to donating boxes of pasta and sauce every other day for the next two weeks.
"That will feed 50 people right there," Hampton said.
Larry's Super Pawn donated $60 to be spent at Dollar General, while volunteers also met at the Hot Dog Shoppe on Tuesday to collect donated clothes and cleaning supplies.
"The biggest problem I've seen is raw sewage in people's homes," Hampton said. "That's why these cleaning supplies can't come fast enough."
Hampton said her family was helped by the community after a fire destroyed her home just before Christmas in 2005. She has spent the following years giving back.
"The community came together to help us," Hampton said. "My favorite saying is, 'See a need, fill a need.' When people help you, you want to help back. I'm a stay-at-home mom and I'm trying to do what I can to help the people around here."
Hampton encouraged anyone willing to help to contact her at 330-609-3540.
Meanwhile, the Red Cross announced late Tuesday night intentions to continue aiding those in need by conducting mobile feeding and the distribution of cleanup kits to local residents through at least Saturday.
Joe Wheeler, who lives at 3730 Meadowbrook Drive, is another Leavittsburg resident struggling to pick up the pieces.
"I'm doing the best I can considering nobody would give me insurance," Wheeler said. "I've lived here for two years in March. I went to 10 different people and no one would give me insurance, so now it's all on me. I don't have any help with anything."
Wheeler refused to leave his home during Thursday's evacuation, choosing instead to wait the flood waters out at home.
" I have my dog here plus everything I own in that house," Wheeler said. "You know how people get when they know you're not there and they know what you have. They're going to break in and take it. Plus, I wouldn't leave my dog for anything."
According to Wheeler, there is not any structural damage to the home, but most of his personal possessions were hit by the water.
"It's just a mess," Wheeler said. "I've gotten a lot of it dried out, but I don't have the money to replace anything right now. At the same time, all of my neighbors have been great. These are the kind of neighbors you need when something like this happens."
In Braceville, the township has made several Dumpsters available at the intersection of Braceville Robinson Road N.W. and state Route 82 for dropping off water damaged items. Jason Moore, a road department worker, used a backhoe to help residents unload material.
"People bring their trucks and trailers down here," Moore said. "There has been a lot of carpet and furniture and other kind of stuff you'd expect to see in basements. We help them unload it and put it in the dumpsters.
"People are very grateful for it. Many of them thanked us."

If Lindsay Lohan is looking to move back to Long Island anytime soon, she might want to steer clear of the Village of Great Neck when shopping for a home.
The troubled Hollywood starlet, known for her late-night partying, might not fit well in a village where getting loud during certain hours of the day is now prohibited — along with smoking on most downtown streets and clotheslines in front yards.
On Tuesday, the Great Neck Village Board of Trustees approved enumerations to village code which now outlaws disturbing sounds on most days between 11 p.m. and 8 a.m.
Holiday and weekend noise will be regulated from 11 p.m. to 9 a.m.
Previously, village code did not address specific prohibitions detrimental to the life or health of any reasonable person of normal sensitivities or contrary to the public welfare, according to village attorney Stephen Limmer.
"What this [amendment] does is it specifically identifies certain noises basically vocal, mechanical or otherwise between certain hours," Limmer said Tuesday. "It's come up specifically because of a resident who has neighbors who just seem to go out at two or three in the morning and talk loudly."
By a 3-2 vote at Village Hall, existing village code regarding prohibited noises was given more more teeth.
Law enforcement officials who have been unwilling to issue summonses when residents get too loud might now find it easier to help keep the decibel levels down when needed, according to Village Mayor Ralph Kreitzman who favored the changes along with Trustees Bart Sobel and Mark Birnbaum.
Deputy Mayor Mitchell Beckerman and Trustee Jeffrey Bass voted against Tuesday's amendment.
Lohan is former resident of Merrick and Cold Spring Harbor on Long Island. The actress, fashion designer, model and recording artist was recently arrested in Manhattan following a late-night altercation at a nightclub while on probation for a separate offense in California.
