Many of the current auto makers do major overhauls to their product lines every few years in an attempt to keep things fresh. Ford, however, has been doing slight change roll outs to several of it's models for the past few years and it seems to be paying off. The latest to benefit from this timeline is the 2013 F-150.
Ford's best selling pickup gets a very slight make over for 2013. There are several new wheel styles in the 18 and 20 inch range as well as the addition of the evolving MyFord Touch system. The biggest change this year is the new front fascia. It has been reshaped to more closely resemble the Ford Super Duty and also has been given the addition of H.I.D headlights. This form of evolution seems to be paying off big time for Ford. It keeps the model familiar to everyone while still providing updates to keep owners coming back for more. I would think it also keeps the cost down over doing an entire model retool without seeing public opinion until you've spent the money on the roll out. All in all Ford seems to continue to do things right, especially when it comes to the F-150.

The balloons have a fantastic color and go very well with the whole Mario theme. I had these filled at a local store, and even the clerk commented on how nice the balloons were. We also received several compliments at the party. As the clerk told us, latex balloons don't hold the helium as long as mylar (they only last about a day), so we had them filled the morning before the party - and they lasted through the entire day. I'd definitely buy these again.

Date: May 02, 2010
Do not purchase these balloons if you intend to fill them with helium. I filled these with Helium @9pm and my sons party was the next afternoon....they didn't even last 15 hours.
The balloons were gorgeous and fit the Mario Bros theme perfectly but they just aren't for Helium.
I wish they specified "not for helium" on their website.

This is my first time shopping at this website. I purchased several items for a Baby shower to create a Mario Brother's theme. These cyan/white cloud balloons are beautiful and great quality, I'm placing them together with plain cyan and white balloons on each table which I also purchased here.

We bought a number of balloons for my son's first birthday party. We actually went with the "Jets" theme as opposed to a first birthday theme, and I thought these cloud balloons were a perfect fit despite not being a part of the collection. They went well with the other items as far as color goes, and my son loved them! They were easy to inflate and did not leak air during the party. As far as balloons go I think they are great, and that they can match many themes (farm, jets, tractors, etc. - anything that is outside)

Wozniacki Is On Her Way to #1 and Other Tennis Happenings
Prepare for it people. By the end of the year, Caroline Wozniacki is going to be World #1. I know, I know, *sigh* we are going to have another "number 1" who hasn't won a major, but we've seen it before (JJ, Safina), and them's the brakes when it comes to the ranking system. She's won 5 tourneys this year, and the system rewards people who play, unlike some of her, ahem, mysteriously injured counterparts. She has been consistent when everyone else is faltering, so in that regard, good for her. (Not necessarily good for the WTA)
In other tennis news, Mikhail Youzhny has won his 2nd tournament this year, beating Andrey Golubev in the Malaysian Open Final, and Guillermo Garcia-Lopez, who upset Rafael Nadal in the semi-finals, went on to win his 2nd ATP title, defeating Jarkko Nieminen at the Thailand Open.
The China Open got underway today and began with a couple of upsets. Samantha Stousr and defending champion Svetlana Kuznetsova were both defeated in the first round.

Scott and Jodi Ferris found themselves in an ambulance because Jodi went into labor earlier than they expected. She gave birth in the hospital parking lot; the medical personnel met them right there in the parking lot and began giving treatment. There were a lot of conflicts that arose, and there were conflicting answers given to them about the condition of the baby. One doctor would say, the baby is quite ill, is going to have to stay in the hospital, the other doctor said, the baby's fine. It was very conflicting, and it got worse as the day went on.

I put the new Stellastarr* record on after a dinner BBQ in my backyard this weekend as chill out, chat, drink beers music. It was only about the third time I'd listened to it and obviously, it was the first spin for the handful of buddies around. I didn't even realize it at first, but there were points in the record when kids around the table would start singing along with the songs; "Damn This Foolish Heart," "Sweet Troubled Soul," and especially "Born in a Fleamarket," the album's most immediate and first-album Stellastarr*-esque tunes apparently still have the ability to be instantly hummable and head-bobable. Stellastarr* haven't abandoned the reasons why kids love to dance up at the front of the stage at their shows, but on their sophomore effort, Harmonies for the Haunted the band has grown musically and lyrically in all the ways you hoped they might.
Opening track, "Lost in Time," opens with an unexpected piano, but before the one-minute mark hits, guitars and bass kick in with Arthur Kremer anchoring the tune with tom-heavy drumming. It's an interesting choice for a re-introduction to the band, but sets the tone for Harmonies for the Haunted, especially with Amanda Tannen's ethereal back-up vocals floating above the building guitar parts. The next real stand out track on the record is track 3, "The Diver." It's a darker track than what Stellastarr* listeners may be used to, and in fact, that can be said of a majority of the album. Not to say the new album isn't as propulsive, catchy or hit-repeat worthy as Stellastarr*. One can imagine mid-album track "Precious Games" following "In the Walls" during the Stellastarr* live show and the hipsters doing their knee-pump to the chugging drums on "When I Disappear." But the anchor of Harmonies for the Haunted is track 7, "On My Own." This track fully showcases both Shawn Christensen's growth as a songwriter and lead vocalist. On HFTH Shawn's voice has lost much of the yelpey dancey feel of the first record in favor of a more mature sound, which compliments how much the band seems to have grown musically. "On My Own," has Shawn repeating, pleading, explaining, "I'm doing the best that I can," over an ever-building string line while the band is thrashing away at their instruments. The song is fucking epic. Final track, "Island Lost at Sea," wraps up HFTH and works perfectly segueing directly back into "Lost in Time," as all good final songs should. You just have to wait for the secret song to play, oh yeah; they're taking it back to the secret song.

Ada —
Two storms showed up at Norris Field for Saturday afternoon's East Central University Homecoming Game.
Divine intervention took care of one of them after a 20-minute lightning delay.
East Central University took care of the other one before the Southwest Nazarene Crimson Storm could so much as work up a gust.
After losing three-in-a-row to the top teams in the GAC, junior running back Jo Jo Snell treated Homecoming fans — which included the 1993 NAIA National Championship team — to a dazzling half of football.
That 40-7 halftime cushion was impressive, even to Coach Tim McCarty.
The Tigers put their game into neutral after the half, settled for a couple of field goals and patty-caked Southern Nazarene away from the end zone well enough for 46-14 victory, the Storm winning the second half, 7-6.
The homecoming crowd was free to renew old acquaintances for the last 30 minutes of playing clock as action slowed on the field.
McCarty was disappointed with some of his players, whom he felt, began playing the scoreboard in the second half. "They just weren't paying attention to the details after they got the early lead," he said.
"I am glad we got a win on the day our national championship team was here to see it," McCarty said. He just wanted to see a little more second-half intensity.
Overall, his team managed to get four more turnovers from its opponent for the second game in a row and the third time in five games this season.
Before that first half gets too deep into the history books, it might be good to remember that Snell scored three first half touchdowns.
The Tigers scored on their first two possessions, then again early in the second when LaQuan Harper caught a five- yard pass from Spencer Bond to make it 20-0. Dominique Massingill scored on a 10- yard run to up the score to 26-0, Caleb Holley caught a 31-yard pass from Bond to run the score to 33-7.

The Police Commission finalized on Tuesday a list of 14 applicants for patrol officer jobs at the .
The commission voted during its regular meeting this week to have all of the applicants undergo thorough background checks, which is the last major component before the departments settle on their final choices for six open positions.
The 14 selected candidates have already gone through all their initial testing for the jobs, such as a physical aptitude test and oral examination. The salaries for police officers run between $57,010.19-$63,810.89.
The department is undergoing a large personnel change as eight senior members — lieutenants, sergeants and the sole captain — .
The move is part of an agreement reached between the police union and the borough government where, in exchange for early retirement, the union agreed to an overhaul of the officers' pension plans.
From now on, new police hires will have pensions that are more akin to the private sector's 401(k) plans. The change is expected to save the borough money in the long run.
With the staggered departure of these higher-ups, the management positions will be filled internally. Meanwhile, Naugatuck is seeking applicants for the lower jobs.
Already one detective and a lieutenant have left and Capt. Jeremiah Scully is expected to leave by the end of the month.
after vetting roughly eight candidates in the background check, said Steven Smith, chairman of the Police Commission.
It's unclear, however, exactly how many new hires will be brought on this year, because apart from the early retirements there are also other officers that are leaving the department after serving their due 25 years, .
But with two officer positions already filled that means at least six other jobs are still open, if not more.
"I would think it depends on how many slots they're trying to immediately fill," Smith said. "There's a need this year to fill eight positions so that's why we put forth a list of 14, so hopefully if they all get through the department will have a list to pull from."

Praise for London's ticketing
The Price of Gold report praised London 2012's affordable tickets plans such as the Pay your Age scheme for children, which also saw those over 60 pay a £16 flat fee.
The lack of a booking fee and the provision of free companion seats for spectators in wheelchairs was also a positive step, according to the committee.
It noted that London 2012 kept its promise to evenly spread tickets across its five price categories, but stated that each category price "varied between sessions and, for a large number, were skewed towards the high end".

On one side are the party's political consultants, who see an embattled Democratic president and congressional majority and advocate an unceasing offensive through November. On the other side are many current and former elected GOP leaders who favor unveiling a Contract With America-like agenda. The problem for the pro-agenda forces is that even if they can hide their candidates' nuttiest views, the agenda that has started to emerge is an unappealing mix of warmed-over Bush-onomics, and "party of no" intransigence, with a dash of silly thrown in for good measure.

Lady Coyotes drop pair to McLennan; return home after long road slate
Staff Report
The Weatherford College softball team played its final double header on the road on Wednesday, and the WC women will likely be very happy to get back home on Saturday, when they will entertain North Central Texas College.
WC's extended road schedule — eight-straight 'away' conference games and 16 of its last 18 contests on the road — ended badly, as it lost its first two-game set of the conference season. Both were close losses at McLennan College, 3-1 and 7-6, dropping the Coyotes' North Texas Junior College Athletic Conference (NTJCAC) mark to 22-4, still good enough to retain its top position in the conference standings.
WC out hit the Highlassies, 6-4, in the Game 1 loss, but were not able to string the hits together to counter McLennan's only scoring inning, a 3-run third. In the nightcap, WC fell behind 6-0 after two frames, but fought back to tie the contest by the fifth frame. McLennan successfully put down a bunt single in the seventh, squeezing across a walk-off run to complete the sweep.
Looking to enjoy its final six NTJCAC matches on home turf, WC will begin the final stretch against NCTC in a twin bill beginning at 1 p.m.
Area prep softball teams close out regular season schedules on Friday
Staff Report
With Weatherford's varsity involved in a post-district seeding match and Millsap's season ending with a bye-week, the rest of the area softball teams will end their respective district slates on Friday.
Brock's Lady Eagles look to put the finish touches on its season, and another district championship with a trip to Boyd to face the Lady Jackets. The district finale is slated for a 5 p.m. start. Also in 9-2A action, Peaster hosts Paradise, as the Lady Hounds celebrate Senior Night with a 5 p.m. game time.
At 13-0 in district play, Aledo is on the road to close out its District 7-4A championship run against Fort Worth's Arlington Heights. Game time is 7 p.m.
Coyotes look to reclaim momentum after break from conference tests
Staff Report
Sitting at an 11-13 mark, in the middle of the pack in the NTJCAC standings, Weatherford College baseball is in the midst of a few non-conference contests, hoping to hone a sharp edge before embarking on the balance of its 'important' games. Taking on Texas Wesleyan's JV in a double header on Thursday, the Coyotes will entertain Eastfield on Monday, resuming its conference schedule on Wednesday, at home.
WC has four twin bills remaining in conference play, and enough time to make a move on Cisco College and/or Hill College, who currently hold the critical third and fourth spots in the NTJCAC standings.
WC beat Wesleyan in the first game on Thursday, 6-2.

It's not even been a full 24 hours yet and already the PS3 version of Black Ops 2 seems to be plagued with problems.
It's almost a case of history repeating itself, since the PS3 version of the original Black Ops had a number of platform exclusive issues that just didn't seem to get fixed, at least not for a while.
One of the major issues seems to be regular freezing. A lot of members of the official Call Of Duty forums are reporting freezing when updating the game, playing in single-player, when loading a game in multiplayer or at the end of a game.
Freezes have even been reported when creating an emblem.
Sound issues seem to be affecting a smaller group of players too, more commonly in Zombies mode where sound glitches or just cuts out entirely.
Others are unable to connect to a game – or even multiplayer at all – being met with the error message "servers not available" whenever they do. One player even reports having been unable to play online even after trying to do so for four hours.
He's got more patience than us.
Bizarrely some players are reporting being told that "more players are needed to balance teams", even when in full lobbies.
It seems no attempts to fix the issues by users – such as deleting and redownload update information – has solved any of the issues either.
David Vonderhaar has commented on the forum, however, acknowledging that these issues have been noted but nothing can be done until the dev team can "repro" – i.e. reproduce – the issues in a development environment.
"Not everyone has an issue with the PS3 freezing," claims Vonderhaar, "I'm a paltry level 10, but have not frozen once."
We'll continue to follow these issues to see how – if at all – the problem evolves. Meanwhile, let us know if you're having any different issues in the comments below and we'll add them to the story.
Oh, and if you do have issues don't forget to report them to Activision's Call Of Duty support page.

Scoring 42 points and putting up 628 yards against the No. 1 team in the country — and losing — was not the way Texas A&M coach Kevin Sumlin expected the most-hyped game of the young college football season to play out.
"Nobody probably saw that coming," he said.
Now that it's over, both teams can get back to the seemingly mundane business of playing out the rest of their schedules and trying to win a championship or two.
For Saban and his Crimson Tide players, there almost seemed to be a sense of relief that it was over and they had survived another go-round with uncanny Johnny Manziel and the Aggies' prolific offense.
"We did not play as well on defense against some very good players," Saban said. "When you don't fundamentally do things the way you're supposed to you usually pay the price. We were trying to rush five guys and keep Manziel in the pocket and (Aggies receiver Mike Evans) had his way with us."
Did he ever.
Manziel drew the headlines with a career-high 464 yards passing and 562 total yards, the second-best performance in Southeastern Conference history. Evans was almost as impressive. The 6-foot-5, 225-pound sophomore caught seven passes for a school-record 279 yards.
Alabama tried to pay more attention to the middle of the field to keep Manziel from scrambling and making big plays. But that left them vulnerable on the outside to Evans. Making matters worse, the Tide played the second half without cornerback Deion Belue, who was out with a toe injury on his right foot.

The purpose of this paper is to assess the challenges of travel risk management at institutions of higher learning and offer solutions for fixing the duty of care dilemma.
In gathering information for this report, PhoCusWright spoke with travel and risk professionals at 11 universities, most of them large U.S. institutions. A number of these schools had recently created new travel or risk programs, some with dedicated management positions. While many are improving and expanding their risk management efforts, in the words of one of them, "it's a very hard slog."
While colleges and universities have begun using 802.11ac to address networking capacity gaps, it may be time to architect a move away from a campus deployment focus altogether and embrace a new, open approach for meeting networking demands.
Hear from Thought Leaders in both higher education and K-12 about their thoughts on how the cloud is altering the IT infrastructure in education, changing the way schools deliver and consume IT services. At the center of this new infrastructure is the network. No longer just "plumbing" in the infrastructure, the network is now a strategic asset. As more and more IT functions, including software and platforms, are offered as a cloud service, the network infrastructure that securely and reliably enables the consumption of these services becomes increasingly important. So how does this look in real-world environments? Campus Technology and T.H.E. Journal spoke with a panel of education technology experts to get their insight.
Download this White Paper to learn the important results from an IDC Government Insights survey indicating that government and education IT managers are both struggling to deal with the complexities introduced by the consumerization of IT, and also looking to take advantage of the increased functionality brought forth by these changes. This InfoBrief report highlights some of these new opportunities, while stressing the importance of building a flexible, high- performance network that can help organizations adapt to these changes.

Early in the proceedings, the judge posed a hypothetical question to the 60 or so potential jurors in the room: "If I were to send you out now and ask you to render a verdict, what would it be? How many of you would vote not guilty?" A few raised their hands. "How many would vote guilty?" A few more raised their hands. "And how many would say you didn't know enough to decide?" Every remaining hand — about 50 people — went up immediately.

Woodward News
Woodward, Okla. —
When Joey Hamilton was about to graduate from Woodward High School some 27 years ago, the best course of action, he thought then, was to enlist into the U.S. Air Force.
"I mean, what I saw then was my older brother was in (the military) and he was getting married and driving a BMW and I thought, 'hey that not so bad,'" he said.
Hamilton would never know until years later how that one decision would lead him to become one of America's most successful tattoo artists, a reality television star and now, possibly the next Ink Master champion.
Ink Master, Hamilton's second appearance in a cable reality series, is a SPIKE TV competitive reality show airing its third season Tuesday July 16. Hamilton is one of the 16 competitors for $100,000 and a write up in Inked Magazine.
But back when Hamilton was cruising the main drag in Woodward with high school friends, hunting and enjoying sports, he would have classified himself as a normal country boy.
Yet, under that country boy exterior, there was a hint of an ability swirling deeply within him early in his life.
"I had fun competing in art competition throughout high school," Hamilton said. "And I got out of high school with a small art scholarship."
When he entered the Air Force and got his very first assignment, it was an exotic location that tipped the scales toward an artistic expression that just amplified the already talented imagination of Hamilton.
After nearly 10 years serving the country all over the world, to include a combat tour during Operation Desert Storm, the now seasoned veteran was working toward another kind of life.
During his last year in the military, Hamilton met a tattooer named Rodney Folsom, who was also in the military at that time.
Folsom is the owner of Paper Street Tattoo Company located near the corner of 9th Street and Oklahoma in Woodward.
"Luckily I had a mutual friend with Rodney Folsom. He (Rodney) took me under his wing and trained me. I spent about 6 months with Rodney then I started working in tattoo shops around Fort Walton Beach, Fla.," Hamilton said.
This life and the artful expression it allowed inspired Hamilton - so much so that he eventually opened his own tattoo shop in Destin, Fla. He ran the shop for seven years.
While on vacation in Las Vegas, Hamilton wandered into Hart and Huntington Tattoo Shop. He was impressed by the work they were doing there and so he applied for a job with them and was hired. Hamilton must have been channelling one of those rarest of spirits - Las Vegas luck - because he was hired right about the time the tattoo shop was shooting the well known A&E series known as "Inked."
After being a part of that cast for two years, Hamilton went to work for Club Tattoo where he still plies his trade after four years.
Recently, Hamilton said he got the opportunity to try out for the third season of Ink Master.
But he was a little down on the shows after trying out for a couple of other competition type shows and feeling a little discouraged by the process.
"But Ink Master, the process was easy, about half the process of the other shows," he said. "It was a couple of interviews and they liked my stuff. Then they keep you waiting to the last minute, but they finally told me I got in."
For those who think the life of a tattoo artist is free and easy, think again, Hamilton said.
The filming process of the show was in some cases long and grueling and the competition was fierce, he said, not wanting to give away any of the show's intrigue.
Yet, he found the process to be honest and above board with real competition and real judging that seemed, in most cases, to be fair - not trumped up for ratings.
He said the competition was stressful and exhausting. Small quarters, too many people living in one room and just the "game" in the show invented by producers - keeping them sleep deprived to challenge them - took its toll, he said.
Hamilton had a secret weapon in his war chest though - experience.
"You know, the days got long and for me, I was used to it because in Desert Storm, you sleep when you get sleep and when you don't, well you just don't," he said. "That was the same with being away because after being away in the military I was used to that too. Some guys were crying the first week because they missed their families and I was like "This is week one Dude, you might want to just go ahead and pack.'"
Hamilton cannot discuss anything specific about the show, by orders of the producers and the contract he signed.
However, he was permitted to tease the audience with a snippet of information about the first episode, which takes place in a prison where the tattoo artists are challenged to create and tattoo on the arm of a prisoner volunteer. They are judged on the best work they can produce in 90 minutes.
So let the drama begin.
Hamilton gave a shout out to his friend Folsom.
Folsom, he said, opened the door to the world of tattoo art to him and ironically wound up opening his shop in Hamilton's home town.
"He asked me then, 'Would you mind if I opened a shop in Woodward?'," Hamilton said. "And of course I had no problem with it at all."
He also recognized as well as his parents Jack and Lauri Hamilton who have supported him throughout his navigation of the peculiar landscape of Tattoo Artisanship.
"What I really need at this time is for the people of Woodward to watch and vote and see how this turns out," he said. "Their vote will really matter at the end of this."

Hundreds of thousands of poisoned capsules have been dumped into China's rivers as medicine factories try to avoid a government crackdown over public health fears.
The capsules - made with industrial grade gelatin made from recycled leather - contain high levels of chromium, which can even cause cancer and organ failure.
Now factories concentrated in central China's Henan province have apparently dumped huge stocks of the capsules in local waterways to dodge the investigation which has led to 45 arrests.
"I thought there was some sort of algae on the water's surface until I looked closer and saw the whole canal was full of capsules.
"If these things can poison you when you swallow them, how are they going to affect you when they dissolve in the water system?," said Lei Yen, from Zhengzhou.
Officials have so far closed down 80 factories in the crackdown.

When local officials called a news conference on Feb. 9 to announce major changes in the Ten-Year Plan to End Chronic Homelessness, there was an improvised air about the proceedings that left a lot of the media representatives present scratching their heads. Jon Lawler, the TYP's executive director, was resigning, along with his assistant Robert Finley, but it was not quite clear what would happen next. A week later, it still isn't. But apparently it will be up to an unelected group with no actual authority.
After brief comments at the news conference, County Mayor Tim Burchett and Knoxville Mayor Daniel Brown introduced Ron Peabody and Stephanie Matheny, who they said would be co-chairing a citizens' task force on homelessness and housing. Peabody, a former West Knoxville neighborhood association president, is a familiar name and face from months of public meetings and press releases in which he has challenged the Ten-Year Plan's attempts to place small homeless housing complexes in neighborhoods across the city. Matheny, an attorney for the Tennessee Clean Water Network, has been somewhat less of a public presence, but she heads up a group called Citizens for the Ten-Year Plan, which formed in opposition to Peabody's TYPChoice.
But the size, scope, and actual role of the yet-to-be-named task force were not spelled out. "This has all just developed in the last five or six days," Peabody said at the time. In a joint interview with the News Sentinel on Friday, he and Matheny said they were looking to start with 12 to 15 people representing various interests (advocates for the homeless, churches, neighborhood groups), and then hold public meetings to build community consensus about how—or whether—to proceed with the Ten-Year Plan.
Despite Brown's insistence that the TYP "is not ended," just "being tweaked," it seems likely that whatever emerges will at the very least be called something different. "I'm not big on names like that," Burchett said last week. "I think you get stuck with that." He added, "I don't think anyone thinks we're going to end homelessness in 10 years."
In the meantime, there is still an office bearing that name, with one remaining employee, Michael Dunthorn, overseeing all the other parts of the plan that don't involve controversial housing sites. According to Bill Lyons, the city's senior director of policy and communication, Dunthorn will report directly to the two mayors, since the TYP itself no longer has a director.
The already murky lines of authority seemed to get even murkier last Thursday, when Finley sent out an e-mail to City Council and County Commission members that began, "Some important background information might have been a little unclear at yesterday's joint City and County Mayors' press conference ..." Finley went on to explain that the week before, professional planner and facilitator Gianni Longo had come to town and spoken with community groups and others involved in the Ten-Year Plan. Longo's name is a familiar one in Knoxville because of his past work on the Nine Counties, One Vision plan and in helping with revitalization plans for Market Square. Finley suggested he would be playing an ongoing role in the new TYP citizens' task force: "He's supposed to come back in a week or so to advance the development of this community process."
Well, maybe. Asked why Longo's name hadn't come up at the news conference, Lyons says, "He won't be doing anything unless that group wants him to." He says that the city had nothing to do with Longo's arrival on the scene, and the city also has no control over the task force: "They're independent of us, it has to be that way. They are on their own, it's whatever they want to do."
And, he adds, the task force itself has no policy-making authority. It is a private group that will make recommendations that the city and county can then consider.
Meanwhile, the guy who did bring Longo to town is Laurens Tullock, president of the local Cornerstone Foundation and an advisory board member of the Ten-Year Plan. He had worked with Longo on his past Knoxville projects and thought he might be able to help move the homeless housing effort past its political morass. But he says Longo's visit Feb. 2-4 was just to talk to supporters and opponents of the plan and help them think about the issues involved. If the task force wants to use Longo's services further, Tullock says, "I'll be happy to help them any way I can help them, but it's got to be their decision."
Among other things, Tullock says he does not want Cornerstone to be the primary funder of any of the task force's efforts. The foundation's primary sponsor is developer Rodney Lawler, father of Jon Lawler, and Tullock knows that would look bad to people skeptical of the TYP. "For the process to be credible, it needs to have the right people at the table and the right funders at the table," he says.
All of which seems to leave the next move in the hands of Peabody and Matheny. So who's running the Ten-Year Plan? For the moment, the correct answer is, "Nobody."

"Nobody" is not an opinion, it is literally true. There is a TYP office with no one in charge of it, and neither the city nor county are planning to do anything new with the TYP. In the meantime, a task force with no actual mandate from anyone will be meeting, with the aim of making recommendations that may or may not be heeded by either of our local governments. None of this is opinion. In fact, I don't even have an opinion about it, other than that I think it is interesting. You're welcome to view it all optimistically. Pessimists might be more inclined to see it as a political punt that protects anyone with any real decision-making authority from having to make any real decisions. You can make a case for either of those positions.
I report, Nine. You decide.

In order to hold public meetings, some entity has to be responsible for advertising them, reserving locations and providing liability insurance or waivers and utility cost reimbursements, having a PA system etc. I don't see how private citizens with no official capacity will be able to do this. There has to be a government office and budget to sponsor such activities, no? And some chain of command? Official capacity? This action by los dos Mayors was not only lame, but troubling. I think "limbo" describes where we find ourselves with regard to caring for homeless and mentally ill persons in our community.

The mayors asked them to form this task force, that's it. That's not a mandate. There was no legal action, and the task force or advisory board or whatever it is has no vested power to do anything. They can meet or not meet, recommend or not recommend, do anything they want. And neither Council nor Commission is obliged to so much as answer a phone call from them. If actual recommendations come out of this, there's a good chance Council and Commission will in fact at least give them a hearing, just because nobody else is doing anything on the issue. But there's no obligation on anybody's part to do anything.
And Bill Lyons is in fact quoted in the story above.

University announces Harter Scholars
Baldwin City, Kan. – Baker University has selected two Kansas high school seniors as recipients of the 2013 Harter Scholarships, the university's most prestigious academic scholarship.
Harter Scholarships were awarded to Rebecca Simkins, a Shawnee Mission North High School senior from Merriam, Kan., and Madison Wendt, a senior from Chanute (Kan.) High School.
As Harter Scholars, the students will receive full tuition for four years at Baker and will have the opportunity to spend a semester of study abroad at Harlaxton College in England.
To be considered for the Harter, students must meet two of the following guidelines, a GPA of at least 3.85, an ACT score of 30 or higher, or a ranking in the top 5 percent of their graduating class. To retain the scholarship, winners must maintain a 3.5 cumulative GPA, plus earn a minimum of 12 credit hours per semester.
"We had an amazing collection of candidates who competed for our top scholarship," said Kevin Kropf, Baker's director of enrollment management. "Rebecca and Madison distinguished themselves and show tremendous scholarly promise."
Simkins is the daughter of Lee and Cheryl Simkins. At Shawnee Mission North, she received several honors, including Scholar Athlete, Principal's Honor Roll, Kansas Honor Society, National Honor Society, Quill and Scroll. She also was a letter winner in volleyball and was a member of the school's yearbook staff. Simkins plans to major in secondary education and math at Baker, where she will also play volleyball.
Wendt is the daughter of Baker alumni Mark and Shari (Nasseramini) Wendt. Madison is an executive officer for student government and is a member of Junior Lions, Junior Rotary, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Green Team, National Honor Society and Select Ensemble. She is also involved with musicals, drama, tennis, the FireEscape Coffeehouse worship band, and is the director of children's ministry at First United Methodist Church in Chanute. She was a National Merit Scholars semifinalist. Madison plans to play tennis and double major in music and biology at Baker.

So good, but no need to take so many separate steps. Just cook the carrots and pepper first, push to the outsides of the pan and add meat. Boil noodles at the same time, then add to pot when meat is cooked. Add green onions and stir. Make a hole in the center and pour in the beaten eggs, scrambling as they cook. Stir it all together, add desired seasoning and you're done.

This was really good. A lot like the stir fried noodles from the Chinese restaurant, but not as oily. I skipped the red pepper and added, instead, pea pods, bean sprouts,and water chestnuts. I also used 3 packages of noodles and only 1 packet of seasoning. The seasoning was just right. More than that would have been too salty. I don't know where they came up with it being 6 servings. It was just enough for me and my boyfriend and he's a big eater (and he would have like it if there had been more!) It serves probably more like 1 person per packet of noodles. Next time I'll use 4 packets and have leftovers! It was so yummy!
Everyone who was over for dinner loved the noodles along with my family, including a picky 4-year old and a baby! I did alter the recipe slightly: I cooked the veggies all at once as suggested by previous reviewers, and instead of using ramen noodles, I used "A taste of Thai" rice noodles according to package directions. They are a bit more filling and have no sodium, fat, or cholesterol. They went well with a grilled tenderloin, marinated and smothered in sweet and sour sauce.

At most Thanksgiving tables, the turkey is the star of the show.
But what about the poor, neglected side dish?
Last week, we talked about Halloween but as soon as that is over, it's time to focus on the one day where food is the highlight.
It's almost a mandate at some gatherings that the traditional green bean casserole made with mushroom soup and crunchy fried onions be present or there could be a minor war among family members. Squash and, of course, mashed potatoes and sweet potatoes also seem to top the list.
Let's not ignore all the possibilities of adding variety to the vegetables, side dishes and casseroles, though.
I'll remedy that situation today in Culinary Conversation and even go a step further by adding desserts other than pumpkin pie. I'm a fan of any type of custard pies, so those were included.
Sometimes, it's not the time to be overly adventurous, though. For Thanksgiving, tradition plays as big a role as does the Macy's parade and the afternoon-into-evening football games.
For some families, that tradition may be lasagna. For others, it could be cabbage and pierogies. I also refer back to the cream of peanut butter soup that was a enormous epic failure at a dinner my family held on Thanksgiving years ago.
So I know from experience that throwing in a surprise element doesn't always work.
You are cordially invited to send favorite Thanksgiving Day recipes to Culinary Conversation — whether they're ones you have had for years or a newer selection.
And remember, it's not what is served at the table that's important. It's who is seated there.
Cabbage Au Gratin
- 1⁄2 medium head green cabbage, cut in four wedges
- 1 tbsp. butter or margarine
- 1⁄2 small onion, chopped (1/4 cup)
- 2 tbsps. flour
- 3⁄4 cup milk
- 3⁄4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1⁄2 cup fresh whole wheat bread crumbs
- 1⁄4 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Oakland Cemetery
This Cemetery is beautiful. It is Atlanta's oldest cemetery; it was built in 1850. Walking around, you can see history, which is still being made.
There are tours that inform you about the Architecture, sculptures and the symbolism on the different graves. One of the main symbols being the Confederate Lion.
The main reason a lot of people go here is to see Margaret Mitchell's grave, but they then discover there is more to this Graveyard than just Mrs. Mitchell.

Oakland Cemetery and Family
My family has a plot here at Oakland having lived here since before the Cival War....This Cemetery is very peaceful---even a nice place to come for a picnic. Margaret Mitchell is buried here as well as Bobby Jones, and many other famous folk. Park and just take a stroll over the hilltop and check out all the art statuary and greenery. Oakland is the 3rd largest green space in Atlanta after Piedmont and Grant Parks.
The Cemetary was established in 1850 on what was then farmland. Picnicking in Oakland has been such a tradition in Atlanta, that The Historic Oakland Foundation published a cookbook---"Drop Dead Delicious", I kid you not.

Westview Cemetery----westside's Oakland
I have folk buried in both big Atlanta Cemeteries and enjoy going to both for different reasons---Oakland is the kind where you are comfortable taking a picnic lunch and chowing down amongst the dead, and Westview is a little more contemplative (at least to me!) Right off I-20 Xway near downtown, it has some impressive views from the top of the hill, and a cool looking tower building on one side. My family has a vault here, which I always thought was kind of strange, but it has been a calm place that I go on occasion. Also alot of my Catholic relatives have been buried here nearby.
Since 1884

Interesting cemetary. Beautiful grassy areas where you will often find families picnicking. Guided tours. Festivals. Oakland Cemetary is more an experience than it is an actual cemetary. Atlanta legends can mostly be found here (the dead ones I mean).
For good eating after a trip to Oakland Cemetary, check out nearby Cabbagetown (Carroll St Cafe) or Grant Park (Six Feet Under). Oakland Cemetary is located right off the Blue Line on MARTA (MLK Stop).

Oakland Cemetery
This place survived the Civil War and is one of the only cemeteries where one can find Union and Confederate soldiers buried side by side. First municipal burial ground in Atlanta.(est. 1850)Victorian monuments and mausoleums. Please remember this is a solemn place and behave accordingly.
Atlanta's past beautifully preserved
Atlanta's history, to a large degree, can be viewed at Oakland Cemetery. Here is the final resting place of many famous, as well as little-known or unknown, leaders and shapers of the city, including Margaret Mitchell, author of Gone With the Wind, and one of the world's most famous golfers, Bobby Jones. We were privileged to attend an even in honor of the 75th anniversary of the publication of Gone With the Wind. We were late so missed out of the drinks (the Rhett Butler and the Scarlett O'Hara) because they had run out of Maker's Mark bourbon. But we had nice snacks and some "Southern Table Wine" (sweet iced tea). We also had a very nice tour of the graves of the Mitchell family. There are 5 generations of the author's family here. The festivities concluded with a champagne toast at the grave of Margaret Mitchell which featured a local actress playing the part of Ms. Mitchell. I couidn't resist having my photo made with her. The cemetery is a beautiful and serene place with winding paths and an amazing variety of trees, flowers and shrubs. It is a child of the 19th Century movement of making cemeteries like rural gardens. Also, along with hundreds of small personal stones there is a lovely variety of carved headstones and mausoleums including one just inside the entrance topped by a stone figure of the deceased, seated and watching who comes through the gate. Well worth a visit.
The Cemetery is open 365 days a year from approximately 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. with the exception of the week between Christmas and New Year's Day. Admission is free and at10:00 a.m., 2:00 p.m., and 4:00 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays there are "Sights, Symbols & Stories of Oakland" tours.

This are many notable people buried here. It is a very beautiful garden cemetery. It has a lot of pretty stones and history to look at if you like that sort of thing.

Sometimes a legislative session is noteworthy because of bills that were sent to the governor that improve the lives of Missouri citizens or make our state a better place to live and work. Sometimes a legislative session is noteworthy because of what did NOT pass, and I think the 2012 session falls into the latter category.
When the session got underway in January, we were told making Missouri a "right-to-work" state and eliminating the prevailing wage laws were key to creating jobs and improving the state's economy. The truth is that both proposals would result in lower wages for Missouri workers, which would do nothing to boost the state economy since workers would have less to spend and the state would collect less tax revenue. Fortunately, we were able to prevent both measures from coming to a vote.
We were also told by Senate majority leaders that the main focus of the session would be jobs, jobs, jobs. We did not pass or even debate a single bill that could reasonably be called a jobs bill.
Earlier this session, I protections for working men and women in Missouri and removed critical protections for whistleblowers who report wrongdoing at their place of employment. Although the measure ultimately passed, the governor had our backs and vetoed the measure.
We also had issues with a workers' compensation bill that made it to the governor, but he vetoed that measure as well. The version we sent back to the governor simply prohibits an employee from suing a co-worker who is injured by an honest accident while on the job.
Some bills sent to the governor that actually do some good for our citizens include a measure to direct $30 million in casino boarding fees to a trust fund for veterans' homes. We must take care of the men and women who have proudly served our country, and I was happy to see this issue finally come to a resolution.
Lawmakers passed a bill that allows the St. Louis Board of Aldermen and the county councils in St. Louis and St. Charles County to put a small sales tax increase on the ballot to fund improvements to the Gateway Arch grounds and to local parks.
Thousands of tourists visit the Arch each year and spend money at our local restaurants, bars and hotels. It is prudent that we invest money to maintain and improve the grounds at one of the nation's most recognizable landmarks. The General Assembly also sent a bill to the governor allowing cell phone users to add their names to the state's no-call list that already applies to landlines.
Despite our best efforts, some bad legislation made it through the General Assembly, including a bill allowing the proliferation of digital billboards along our interstates and highways. Digital billboards are a major distraction to drivers, and distracted driving is the No. 1 cause of accidents. While I believe this will be detrimental to public safety, it just shows how much influence the billboard industry has in the legislature.
We also approved a bill allowing for the expansion of charter schools in unaccredited and provisionally accredited school districts. I spoke against this bill because I sincerely believe we should be doing everything in our power to improve our public schools rather than creating new alternative schools. The recent failure of the Imagine Charter Schools in St. Louis left thousands of students scrambling to find new schools, illustrating my concerns with charter schools.
We also sent a proposed constitutional amendment to the voters to change Missouri's non-partisan court plan. Our system of nominating and selecting judges was created in 1940 to counter the death grip Kansas City political boss Tom Pendergast had on our state's judiciary. Our non-partisan court plan has been adopted by more than 30 states and is considered a model for the nation. Unfortunately, the proposed constitutional amendment going before voters would inject politics back into the judicial selection process.
Typically, not much of consequence makes it through the Missouri General Assembly in an election year. This was a typical year.

Politics Wrap Up: Perry, Santorum, Gingrich's Ex Wife
By editor
A big day in presidential politics: Texas Gov. Rick Perry dropped out of the race. Certified results from the Iowa caucuses show former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum finished ahead of former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, but party officials are calling it a tie. And Newt Gingrich's second wife sat down with ABC News for an interview about their marriage and messy divorce. All this comes on the same day the four remaining candidates gather in Charleston for a debate. Robert Siegel discusses it all with NPR's Mara Liasson in Charleston.
