The pumpkin caramel Kringle was packaged well and looked appetizing, but it lacked a pumpkin and caramel flavor. I was expecting more out of this product, but it was just an average pastry. Not worth the price or shipping costs.
Our Pumpkin Kringle - Caramel is the perfect treat for Halloween, Thanksgiving or any time this fall. The Pumpkin Kringle by O & H Danish Bakery is made with tender, flaky pastry. Pumpkin Caramel Kringle is filled with a delicious blend of pumpkin, spices and caramel, with pecans on the top. Pumpkin Kringle is enticing and unforgettable.

If you don't know who this former Celtics star is, well....you should.
It's fair to say that the C's have an excess amount of undersized centers who all have similar skill sets. What will Danny Ainge and the Celtics do about the center situation?
Expert analysis, highlights, and much more!
On this very special edition of Celtics Beat, hosts Rich Conte and "Stats" Adam Lowenstein will look back on the careers of Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce in Boston. They will be joined by Steve Bulpett of the Boston Herald as they reminiscence about the famed deal that brought Garnett to Boston back in July of 2007 and the next set of Celtics' glory years that were to come. Rich and Adam will also be joined by Tim Capstraw. Tim serves as the Brooklyn Nets color commentator on Sports Radio WFAN in New York. Tim will stop by Celtics Beat to talk about the deal that sent Garnett and Pierce to Brooklyn last summer, as well as the impacts they are having on this year's edition of the Nets.
Hosts Ty Ray and Rotowire's Dr. Andre Snellings have plenty to talk about. Jordan Crawford is out, and Rajon Rondo is back in. How will the trade work out for the Celtics? And what should the Celtics expect from Rondo as he returns to action? Ty and Dr. Snellings will also look ahead to the Celtics' contest Sunday evening against another rebuilding organization: the Orlando Magic. Ty and Dr. Snellings will be joined by Magic Insider Josh Robbins of the Orlando Sentinel to discuss how Orlando's own rebuilding process is going for them with Massachusetts native Rob Hennigan at the helm. Tune in Saturday January 18th at 2 PM ET to Celtics Beat. Heard exclusively on CLNS Radio.
I think this sums up the feelings of most Celtics fans after the Crawford trade.

The Finney County Transit (FIT) provides a local bus service, which translates into freedom and mobility for many of its riders.
For some, this is because they don't have other transportation. For others, it's because of physical limitations that hinder them from driving. Aside from the physical connections the buses provide, there are also connections made among the riders.
Garden City Community College English Instructor Eugenia Eberhart uses the Paratransit bus service because she is legally blind.
"It would have never worked for me because you don't want me driving, because I can't see," she said and laughed. "So the only way I could take this job is if that bus was here."
Eberhart took the position five years ago and said that she buys a monthly pass for $40.
"You can pay a dollar per trip, but depending on how much you use it, it's usually more cost effective to get the monthly pass," she said.
She said that with that pass, she also can arrange to go to the grocery store, get her hair cut or run other errands. There is another benefit of the daily contact between drivers and riders of the paratransit.
"This happens all the time with elderly people. They'll go up and ring the doorbell, and if there is no answer, the driver will put out an alert," she said. "It's kind of like having somebody looking out for you."
Bonnie Burgardt, FIT director, said that riders age 60 and older or those who have documented disabilities, can fill out a form at the Finney County Transit office in order to obtain a half-fare card.
Rather than operating on a route system, the Paratransit is an on-demand bus service, meaning it will pick riders up at their homes or any location, any time between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m.
"I call them every semester and set my schedule up with them, and then they run on my schedule," Eberhart said. "So, if I have a 7 a.m. class, they would set like a 6:30 pickup and then they would get me at whatever time I would finish in the evening."
The Paratransit buses pull up in her driveway and then drop her off in the parking lot next to the academic building at GCCC.
"I live over in the Wilson Addition across the bypass, which is not very far from campus, and I got so excited when we moved here because I thought I could just walk from here. Well, I am not walking that bypass, I am not doing it. They will run you over, those big old semis coming through there. I do not want to be roadkill, so I ride the mini bus," she said and laughed.
The City Link bus service operates on a four-route system throughout Garden City. Bus stops are on each of these routes, which have regularly scheduled pickups throughout the day.
Burgardt said that in some ways, the buses actually have connected community members, especially those who are new to the area.
"One day, I was on the bus and it was so cool. We had a Somali lady with her child, a black man, Hispanic man and a white man, and they all moved here from different areas. ... Three guys — one came from California, one from Chicago and one from New York. So they're all talking to each other about where they came from, what brought them here, and what they thought of the town, and I just thought, 'this is building community,'" she said. "As we drove along, there was a fellow who got on the bus who was disabled and these guys were asking him, 'how you doing? Are you feeling better today?' So it is building community."
She said that the three men also had shared that they had each been in gangs in their former communities and that getting out of the gang life was one of the reasons they moved to Garden City.
"One fella, he and his wife had a child and they wanted a better life for their child, so they moved here from California. The one from Chicago said they couldn't sleep at night because of all the gunfire and the noise. He said, 'it's so quiet here,'" Burgardt said.

Students as Scientists
11 students in grades K-5 will be presenting, "Students as Scientists" on Monday, November 24th at the NYSCATE Annual Conference. They have spent numerous hours afterschool and during their lunch time brainstorming and organizing their ideas, writing their scripts, creating a PowerPoint, and rehearsing their presentation. Their session will be "hands-on" with audience members learning how to collect data on water quality and identifying macroinvertebrates that the students will be collecting at three different stream locations on the morning of the presentation. Check out their Stream Team Wiki to learn more and don't forget to read the incredible discussions taking place on the wiki pages! They'd love some outside voices added to the conversations taking place.
We plan on streaming the session at http://www.ustream.tv/mstportal starting at 10:45 EST on Monday.

I felt like here - in my personal blog - I was not free enough to reblog much Harry/1D stuff because not all my followers like 1D and some don't even know 1D and I didn't want to flood their dashes with too much Harry. (Psh, like there'd ever be too much Harry) Anyway, I started cracking on the theme design, put it up, reblogged a couple of stuff and it's now up and running! Please follow me. :) I'll also reblog Louis, Liam, Zayn, and Niall, for sure. :)

Since its founding in 1979, Adler Fels, creator of the Ruby Red line, has stood for innovative craftsmanship from the wineries legendary Sauvignon Blanc, Gew?rztraminer and Chardonnay. Their growing portfolio of artisan brands that have made it one of the nation's leading private and control label wine producers.
Propelled by a customer-first philosophy and a commitment to the highest quality and professional standards, Adler Fels sources premium wine varietals from Napa Valley and other premier California appellations while excelling at custom winemaking, customer service, quality-to-value ratio and brand development.
The name Ruby Vine comes from the patina of their vineyards when they are heavy with grapes and awash in the pink glow of California's late afternoon sky. This artisan table wine is deeply textured and richly flavored with the incredible complexity unique to a classic field blend. Field blends were popular in the 50s and 60s in California before consumers started to demand single varietals. Unfortunately, it has become a lost category.
There is something about field blends that make them different from blending wines. Nobody can really explain why. While a typical multi grape blend starts with each wine being grown and crushed separately, a field blend harvests all the grapes at the same time and crushes them all together.
Now, theoretically, the wine should taste the same as one which consists of grapes separately grown and harvested. But, there seems to be a harmony to field blends that makes them more appealing. Like children who grew up together who went to the same schools and lived in the same neighborhood, they share similarities qualities. I told you it didn't make sense but the wines come out excellent so whose to argue?
Here they have blended small lots of Zinfandel, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petite Sirah to create a wine with complex structure and ripe tannins. They have also aged the wine in large and small oak barrels to give firm but forgiving tannins and a lush finish.
This selection is a full-bodied and fruit-forward wine that is ripe and lush. On the nose, cassis, plum and crushed berry aromas are layered with a hint of black pepper. The finish just keeps on going as it would with baby back pork ribs.

Hospital board seeks details
In July 3-9 issue
By Greg Wells
Times Journal Managing Editor
ABOVE: RC Hospital CFO Kim Kimsall watches as Dr. Jerry Westerfield makes an emphatic point.
RUSSELL SPRINGS - An operating loss of $91,800 put the last month of the Russell County Hospital's fiscal year more than $52,000 in the red. This means the hospital will finish somewhere around $207,000 to the good for the year according to the papers provided at this week's hospital board meeting.
In the budget presented for the coming fiscal year the members of the Alliant management team told the board they plan to finish next year with a profit of $782,404 overall.
Last year they told the board they would finish this year $1.08 million to the good, rather than the $300,000 they are presently projecting.
In the last two years, figures requested from the office of the hospital's chief financial officer show that, operations have been a loss of over $180,000 each year for the hospital, but the new budget promises an $813,119 profit next year.
This year the budget projected a $636,726 profit in operations. The projected loss is at best close to $176,000.
This year's budget, like last year's, was approved by the board. Unlike last year there were pointed questions from the county hospital board members about the provided budget.
First item questioned was $25,000 budgeted for a professional to develop a master plan that will guide the hospital's future expansion.
CEO Gary DelForge said the plan was needed, citing a recent review of the hospital's lab which listed it as substandard and requiring improvement or the hospital could lose accreditation.
A board member said, "We have so many equipment needs and so little money to spend, it gets down to 'do you want to spend $25,000 on a master plan or do you want to spend $25,000 on the things people need for the health of the community.'"
DelForge quoted the letter from the accreditation group, "This isn't going away this time without some action."
The accreditation group demanded a letter from the CEO and the board detailing how deficiencies would be addressed and a timeline for that or they would not approved the accreditation again in 2010.
DelForge indicated that even if no building was done in that time, a master plan would indicate that they were planning to address the space needs of the laboratory.
It was noted by Mike Hubbard, an efficiency specialist with Alliant, said that there are other laboratory accreditation boards if necessary.
Jeff Buckley, also with Alliant, said the board needs to move forward with a plan to address needs. He said the previous plan was a "Christmas list" of everyone's wants and no consideration given to what was affordable.
Any new plan needs to be detailed and include financial considerations and priorities.
Board Member Rodney Johnson asked about a feasibility study for what was needed and how to fund it.
DelForge replied that they can't examine the feasibility plan until they have a master plan to address needs.
"We need a lab and we need it now," said Dr. Westerfield, his voice rising in volume. "This place is noted for procrastinating - procrastinating - procrastinating."
He pointed to the display boards he brought with him to the meeting, "I've got sitting here over three or four master plans. We have a need and that need is for a lab and additional x-ray space."
The doctor's voice became louder as he said, "You put that (new lab) in now and you find someway or another to finance it. And then that buys us time. You can do that master plan whenever after that."
As he proceeded to pound the desk with his fist, Westerfield said, "This place is falling apart with no space. It must be built and I think it should be built now! I'm tired of this procrastination!"
Hubbard said the hospital's financial situation did not allow them to proceed as he was asking and suggested the matter could be discussed "in a civil manner."
To which the doctor responded, "Other hospitals are building and improving and we need to find a way to fund this."
Hubbard replied that, "Dollars and cents say we don't have ability to do it right now.
He had an opinion on how Russell County Hospital came to be in the situation it finds itself presently.
"Other hospitals have had consistency of leadership," Hubbard said. "We hop around from plan to plan to plan like a grasshopper and we never go a consistent direction. That's why I think a master plan is the best direction to go."
As they went past the master plan issue, Kimsal told the board there would need to be some increases in the hospital's billing rates for services and there would be three percent pay raises for employees.
The discussion continued on the budget proposal with the next issue being addressed was what Kimsal termed as, "productivity improvement and monitoring in the personnel area."
This piqued the board's interest and more detail was sought.
Kimsal deferred to Buckley who introduced Mike Karra, the Alliant clinician who said he had spoken with the department heads and they would be monitoring specific statistics such as number of procedures, patients' stays, prescriptions filled and so on to determine the hospital's actual staffing needs.
It seemed clear to some on the board that a reduction in labor cost of $250,000 would mean some real cutbacks.
It was noted that with overtime not out of the ordinary on an average week and only about three percent staff attrition that the management firm was talking about layoffs.
This they denied emphatically. "There is no termination," Karra said.
"Only time I've seen a hospital have to layoff is if they are going to shut the doors," Buckley added.
In all they were looking at reducing staff by the equivalent of 6 full-time positions, or 12 part-time or some equal combination of full and part-time staff.
DelForge said he has addressed this with department heads and explained that the hospital has had equipment needs they weren't able to address without tightening belts.
"You are overstaffed in some departments compared to industry standards," Buckley added.
In the end the board was told that the staffing changes were recommendations, that staffing changes would be up to them.
An improvement to the hospital's income was a "Geriatric Psych Unit," which Kimsal said was a "turn-key" proposal from an outside group which required only space to work in.
DelForge said the present administration building could be used and they could rent half of the old ambulance building for $1,500 a month plus the cost of modifications.
"We could have purchased that building. Payments would have been $1,000 a month and we couldn't afford that, but we can pay $500 a month more to rent it?" a board member questioned.
In the end that suggestion was quashed and though they consented to look at the new unit they were interested in them sharing space with other programs in the hospital.
Other issues addressed at the meeting were�
� The computer imaging for the radiology department, known as PACS, will be online this Friday Westerfield said.
DelForge said the new Chiller has been installed and training was conducted Monday.
"We needed it because that other chiller was really stressing out - back when it was 90," He added.
� Buckley told the board that there has been no change in Anthem situation and they expect none until the 180-day termination notice period is nearly over.
That period is the waiting period in the hospital's contract with that insurance provider allowing for a 180 day period after the hospital gives them notice that they will no longer be participating in their plan.
The administration has said the impending termination was the only way they felt the hospital could draw serious negotiations from the Anthem Blue-Cross / Blue-shield provider. They have contended that their present compensation plan doesn't even cover the cost of the services they are providing.
"We are planning a meeting with Humana reps the third week in July. At least they're willing to talk. We do have an offer on the table and they're willing to come back to the table as is Bluegrass Family Health," Buckley concluded.
� Westerfield's report on the medical staff was they felt that a new lab needs to be built.
"Obviously we need to replace that lab and have for the six years I've been here," Westerfield said. "If we built a new lab space out there in the courtyard we would be able to open up the lab space for a new x-ray room.
He said he had already obtained a quote from Branscum Construction for what it would cost to enclose that area and outfit it as a laboratory.
He did not elaborate on the proposed cost.
Westerfield concluded that with the lab relocated that space could be remodeled.
"We already have the x-ray equipment in storage and we could have another x-ray room," he said.
� As for the monthly budget report, Ken Kimsal told the board the hospital was again below budget for inpatient proceeds and increased in uninsured patients, compared to last year, subtracted from the bottom line.
He said the hospital has a 55-day cash reserve and average receivables are 58 days from billing to collection.
After a secret session, hospital board members first took the administration to task and then ordered them to never again prepare press releases in advance of a meeting.
That movement came after members of the media questioned how such a release could be prepared with the board's decisions already listed, when the meeting had not even taken place yet.

Frequently Asked Questions about Annual Giving
1. NIU is a state-supported university. Why does it need my help?
State funding provides the necessary support for a basic education, but private support supplements these dollars and allows for many special programs, scholarships, fellowships, research efforts and building projects that enhance our students' educational experience and would not otherwise be financially possible.
2. Why is it important to give annually?
Annual gifts through the Northern Fund make it possible each year for our colleges and departments to buy new equipment, award scholarships, send students to conferences, and fund ground-breaking research initiatives. These annual gifts help to sustain the growth of our university.
3. Do you only ask alumni for gifts?
Besides encouraging our alumni to give back, we also reach out to parents of our current NIU students, as well as friends of the university to help promote excellence at NIU.
4. Are those really students that call me to ask for my support?
Yes! Our very own Huskie Telefund employs over 50 students to help connect our alumni, parents, and friends back to the university. Our student callers are trained and rewarded for their excellent communication skills, and they genuinely enjoy speaking to you about your experiences and time at Northern.
5. What are the benefits of making a gift to the Northern Fund?
Aside from the personal satisfaction you'll get from knowing you've made a difference in the lives of thousands of students, you can also rest assured that all gifts made to NIU are tax-deductible. You will also receive a thank-you phone call from one of our students, as well as a Thank you card or email at the end of the year!
"Your annual gift helps sustain and promote excellence at NIU."

Not yet rated.
Jim Koonmen
"Sweatshop mentality, no career growth"
Pros – It's a former startup owned by a very stable Fortune 50 company which is one of the few in the technology industry where there are no layoffs. They provide dinner at no cost to employees four nights a week.
Cons – The workload is crushing. Employees are expected to work long hours and weekends to meet product deadlines--the free dinners are provided for those who work past 8pm. Internal politics are unpleasant. Performance scores are forced onto a bell curve.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company
"It is good for a beginner but not good enough when you become experienced."
Pros – The co-workers are smart and the relationships are great. The managers respect the employees. flexible work time. Provide free four dinners.
Cons – The pay is not great. The pressure from customer is very high. Many coworkers are not from CS background and the projects are poorly managed.
Advice to Senior Management – The managers were great. But too many senior leaders left the company for other chances. The company also need to balance the CS and the application side.
"Have to work hard and long hours to excel."
Pros – Opportunities to work with extremely talented people. Friendly environment.
Cons – Mediocre benefits. Hours tend to be long.
Advice to Senior Management – Need to do more to show that you care about your employees.
"Brion is good but tough"
Pros – many talents to compete and sharpen skills
good work can be appraised
have a good exercise room
many nice and good guys
Cons – job is tough, need commit many extra time in order to exceed
salaries is not very high
the field is narrow
Advice to Senior Management – can improve the working environment more, and need new way to inspire the engineers for better work and for stablility
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

Leonid Ivanovich Rogozov (Леонид Иванович Рогозов, 14 March 1934 - 21 Sept 2000) was a Russian general practitioner who took part in the sixth Soviet Antarctic Expedition in 1960–61.
While stationed at the Soviet Novolazarevskaja Research Station in Antarctica, he developed peritonitis. As the only doctor stationed there, he had no choice but to perform an appendectomy on himself, removing his infected appendix on 30 April 1961. The operation lasted one hour and 45 minutes and is a famous example of self-surgery.

Most investors think that a portfolio invested globally gives them decent diversification. They may want to reassess that view. World Bank economist Sergio Schmukler has co-written a paper summarized on VOX EU that argues that global funds are not very well diversified and leave behind "significant unexploited gains" from international diversification. In fact, investors may be better off owning an Asian fund, a European fund, a LatAm fund and US funds rather than a global fund investing in these regions.

Staff Profile: Erin Coppola
Our Development Assistant Erin is the newest member of our staff, however, she is not entirely new to Project Access NOW. "I had the opportunity to volunteer with Project Access NOW last year" says Erin, "helping around the office allowed me to gain insight and familiarity in the services Project Access NOW provides." When the opportunity to become involved as a member of our staff presented itself, Erin felt that her background and experience would make her a perfect fit for this position.
Growing up in a military family, Erin moved around quite a bit as a child, most recently living in Las Vegas, NV. She began her journey in public health in Nevada in 2006 when she became certified as an EMT and a CNA. "Initially I thought I wanted to work in direct service" says Erin. However when she moved to Portland in 2010, she was inspired to connect with a new community and reach out to the programs and organizations helping to serve those most in need of support. She says "I have always found volunteering to be not only a rewarding experience, but also a way to support and give back to my community."
Project Access NOW operates in strategic partnership with United Way of the Columbia-Willamette, regional Project Access partners, and many generous health care partners.

What happens when you combine Shakespeare with America's first family, the Simpsons? You get MacHomer, the one man show that blends comedy with shear amazment. It runs through this weekend at the Cal Shakes in Orinda.
If Homer playing Macbeth is not your cup of high English tea, head down to Yerba Buena Gardens in San Francisco for a more traditional approach to the theater. The SF Theater Festival kicks off this weekend at the quaint downtown park.

On January 21, 2012, over 50 people gathered at San Francisco's Japanese Cultural and Community Center of Northern California (JCCCNC) to hear a lecture by Charles Egan, professor of Chinese at SF State University, on recent discoveries of poems of Angel Island immigrants. Professor Egan was able to decipher Chinese poems, which were obscured on the detention barrack walls. Japanese and Korean poems written about Angel Island and on the immigrant experience were found by reviewing microfilm of vernacular press of the 1910s to 1940s.
Recent visitors to the Immigration Station have heard the staccato of hammers hitting nails as workmen place new wood shingles on the roof of the historic hospital. By the end of November, the entire roof will have new shingles. When the rainy season hits in full force, water will run down off the roof onto new gutters, thus removing the danger of water damage to the building. A new coat of exterior paint will also help protect the hospital from the elements.
Work crews also removed rotted wood from inside the hospital and installed new wood shoring from the ground floor up to the roof. This will help hold up the walls as we wait for the permanent rehabilitation of the interior in the next phase of the project. The stabilization work began after all the asbestos and toxic lead paint was removed.
As this work proceeds, the Museums and Interpretation section of the California State Parks is being funded by AIISF to develop an interpretation plan for the hospital. Several rooms such as the Asian men's ward and surgery room have been designated for historical restoration. These rooms will have exhibits and signage that will tell visitors about the treatment of immigrants at the hospital. Other rooms have been designated for rehabilitation and repurposed as lecture and performance spaces.
It's an exciting time as we envision how a refurbished hospital can enrich the visitors' experience at the Immigration Station.

Pros: Build quality is in high level. It feels and looks solid and strong. Worth every cent.
Cons: Well, it could be a little sharper. It is definitely sharp enough to do the job, I'm using it for a while, so it can do the job, but in my opinion just a little sharper would be perfect. Not really a con, but couldn't find anything else worth of mention it.
Other: Sharp enough (could be sharper, but ok). Like I said, worth every cent. There is not any big cons, so you won't regret if buy it. Price is also correct. So, in overall: go for it.

Other: like it.
but you have to look what you prefer this sku or sku 19511.
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)

Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: Loves it! You can shape your nails much better with this slope-sided clipper as compared to a regular curved clipper so you can clip without filing afterward. If you have ugly toes and need to deal with misshapen nails or chunks of dead skin all the time, you will LOVE these.
Cons: Can't make it better but for the price, so buy 3 and bulk rate it to save a buck. I bought 3 anyway so I can always find at least one pair somewhere in my house.
Other: I like these much better than "regular" nail clippers.
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: This nail clipper is perfectly aligned and very sharp. The clip at the top is a bit tight, but not too tight, so you can hold it without it falling apart or sorts.
Cons: The chrome topping is damaged at the back of the clipper.
I hope the clip won't loosen after some time of usage. My last one (not from DX) fel apart because of it.
Other: It's a cheap, sharp nail clipper that can get in every corner if needed :P

Snowden's run: Obama the dupe
Obama never accepted that China, Russia, Iran and North Korea were malefactors. He thought they antagonized us because we antagonized them first. They have taken advantage of this stupendous naivete since Day 1. Now China has exported our most-wanted leaker to Russia. Obama says through a spokesman this will "damage" our relationship with China. Like they care. The President just got rolled, again, by foreign leaders who understand the Machiavellian nature of international relations. We have four more years of these humiliations to endure.

Disgraced state senator will talk soon
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Republican state Sen. Paul Stanley said Tuesday he will soon break his silence on his affair with a 22-year-old legislative intern, a relationship revealed by an alleged extortion plot.
Stanley said in a text message to The Associated Press he had been waiting for his wife to return to Germantown so he could discuss the situation with her. Stanley's message said he "will be saying something soon."
Court records show the Stanley, 47, told agents investigating a blackmail case that he had a sexual relationship with intern McKensie Morrison. Her boyfriend, Joel Watts, is charged with trying to extort $10,000 from Stanley in April in return for photos and a video of the affair.
Republican Senate Majority Leader Mark Norris and Shelby County GOP Chairman Lang Wiseman have called on Stanley to resign.
Stanley last week stepped down from his position as chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee, but signaled he would remain in the Legislature.
Meanwhile, two newspapers in Florida shed more light on Morrison's past.
She was student body president and graduated from Spruce Creek High School in Port Orange, Fla., in 2005. Later that summer she married Randy Mueller, a 6-foot-7-inch former basketball player at the school, The Orlando Sentinel and the Daytona Beach News Journal reported.
Less than a month after their marriage, Mueller was charged with a hammer attack on an elderly man. The couple occasionally went to the man's house to shower because they did not have electricity or water.
Mueller and Morrison told police that 75-year-old Stuart Ringdahl drove the couple home after dinner, and while parked in their driveway offered Morrison $50 for sex, and then tried to put his hand up her shorts when she refused.
According to the South Daytona Police report obtained by the papers, Mueller hit Ringdahl on the head with a hammer from the back of the car, fracturing the man's skull and requiring treatment that included about 50 staples.
Ringdahl denied grabbing Morrison and said Mueller attacked him for no reason. Police arrested Ringdahl, but the case against him was later dismissed.
Mueller is serving a seven-year sentence for the attack. He filed for divorce from Morrison last month.
Morrison's phone numbers are redacted from her legislative internship application, and efforts to reach her were unsuccessful Tuesday. But her father said he didn't want to talk about the situation.
"It's a family matter, and I'm going to approach it that way," said Morrison's father, Will Morrison. "And I have no further comment."
Morrison also had a previous brush with the law. In May 2005, she was arrested on charges of possessing cocaine and drug paraphernalia. Prosecutors later dismissed the case.
Morrison moved to Dickson and enrolled at Austin Peay State University in the fall of 2006. She was a straight-A student at the school through the middle of her junior year when she applied for the internship at with the Tennessee General Assembly.

A rule is a rule is a rule.
Every athletic director, every SEC football, basketball and women's basketball coach, clearly understand the rule that one of their schools will be fined at least $5,000, no matter how many fans rush the floor. Arkansas got nailed for 20 to 25 fans running on the floor after Saturday's win over Florida.
Fans don't belong on the floor, or on a football field. That area belongs to players and coaches. Not fans, and I don't care how dramatic the ending is. There have been too many people hurt in postgame celebrations.
Thus, you take a hard line and stick with it.

Adults Using More ADD Meds
We often associate ADD and ADHD with high-energy children who have a hard time sitting still or focusing. Adderall has become the go-to drug to treat this condition in children, but now it turns out that adults are flocking to the prescription medication.

By Lawrence Messina
Associated Press
Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin's proposed overhaul of West Virginia's education system is mostly short-sighted and contradictory, groups representing teachers and other school employees argued to lawmakers Tuesday.
Judy Hale, president of the American Federation of Teachers-West Virginia, told the Senate Education Committee that the bill would require additional training for teaching reading, yet also offers certification to would-be teachers without relevant college degrees.
Hale also pointed out that the measure seeks to ensure students receive at least 180 days of instruction, as mandated by state law, but then counts toward that time any days spent attending athletic tournaments or playoffs.
"I'm having a hard time believing that the drafters of the bill are really serious about instructional days," Hale said.
Hale also questioned what evidence supported Tomblin's proposed rewrite of teacher hiring and transfer rules. Among other changes, the bill would remove language requiring a written explanation upon request when the candidate with the most seniority doesn't get the job. It also scales back seniority's role when job reductions prompt teacher transfers within a school or a county, a process known as bumping, and allows counties to repost job openings to attract additional applicants.
Several county superintendents have spoken in favor of those provisions. But Hale said that before James Phares became state schools superintendent earlier this year, Phares told lawmakers in October that hiring practices allowed for the hiring of the most qualified teachers, and "it was a 'myth' that seniority was the determining factor when filling vacancies."
"There is absolutely no evidence or data to show that the current hiring practice is not working," Hale said.
Hale also challenged allegations that teachers with seniority have successfully appealed being passed over for jobs through the state employee grievance process. A review of rulings from the past three years revealed just three cases filed by such teacher-applicants — and each of them lost, Hale alleged.
Citing West Virginia's low rankings for student achievement, Hale noted that the state also rates poorly for health. Yet no one is alleging that that's because West Virginia has bad hospitals or doctors, Hale said.
But while condemning much of the bill, Hale praised several provisions. Those would expand pre-kindergarten classes for 4-year-olds statewide, seek to make sure that all third-graders are reading at grade level, offer teachers in critical need subjects and communities with college loans, cover the $1,150 renewal fee for nationally certified teachers, and beef up vocational-technical training.
Dale Lee of the West Virginia Education Association raised similar concerns when he addressed the committee Tuesday. His group represents teachers and administrators, while Hale's is also allied with the association for school service workers. Hale told the committee that she spoke for more than 16,500 non-management education employees.
These groups outlined their objections as a coalition of business and industry groups stepped up their support of the bill. One member, the West Virginia Chamber of Commerce, announced it had launched billboard and radio ads to urge passage of Tomblin's measure with newspaper ads to follow.
The coalition also includes an array of trade associations representing contractors, coal operators, hospitals, insurers, TV stations and car and truck dealers. Such individual employers as Appalachian Power, Frontier Communications and the Jackson Kelly law firm have also signed on. Officials with several of these groups spoke in favor of the bill at Tuesday's meeting.
Tomblin told The Associated Press on Tuesday that he and his top aides have met with Hale's and Lee's groups to resolve differences over the bill. Those meetings also aim to help the Senate Education committee craft amendments that preserve its core goals while removing unintended consequences. Those include language that Hale had alleged would wipe out paid holidays. That was not his intent, nor was he seeking to allow classes on Saturday as some have alleged by invoking bill language, Tomblin told AP.
"There will be paid holidays. No one will be losing any of those benefits," the Democratic governor said. "What we're trying to do is give flexibility to the local boards and schools (regarding the school calendar)."
Tomblin also said he planned to issue executive orders in the coming weeks to further his push toward expanded early childhood education and career and technical training in middle schools.

Northwest Trek Wildlife Park is a unique place to go if your kids (or you) are at all interested in Northwest wildlife. While the Point Defiance Zoo has open expanses for many of its animals, Northwest Trek is almost entirely open expanse. Most of the animals roam together here and are not confined by cages. The park is a great place to take your family, but can be enjoyable for adults as well.
Northwest Trek Wildlife Park
11610 Trek Drive East
Eatonville, WA 98328
Phone: 360.832.6117
Hours and Prices
Hours vary seasonally and entrance fees depend on age. Up-to-date information can be found here.
Discounts are available for groups and anyone who holds a park membership. Coupons are often available if you go to the Point Defiance Zoo and pay to enter there—not always, but often you will receive a discounted coupon for Northwest Trek. Also keep an eye out on local publications, Groupon, and other online coupon sites as deals on getting into the park are often out there during the summer.
Northwest Trek Wildlife Park Attractions and Events
By far, the coolest part of visiting Northwest Trek is taking a ride on the tram. When you enter the park, you are given a token for a tram tour as part of your admission. They will tell you where to line up and at what time. The tram is like a long bus with very large windows, and during warmer months, the window panes are removed. The tram will take you through the free-roaming area where all the non-carnivorous animals are free to roam. View bison, elk, moose, mountain goats, bighorn sheep, and more—all native to the Northwest. The park staff put animal feed near the tram so you will often see animals very close up!
There are also five miles of walking trails throughout Northwest Trek, and it is along these trails that you will see all the carnivorous animals and some smaller ones as well, safely living in enclosed areas. Bears, wolves, foxes, cougars, and others that just can't play nice in the free-roaming area are here.
Also along the trails, you will often catch presentations about specific animals led by the animal keepers. The Baker Research Cabin is located on the trails and allows visitors to watch the wolves, foxes, and coyotes up close and provides some scientific exhibits, too.

There are several ways to get to Northwest Trek depending on which direction you are coming from. From Tacoma, you can take Meridian or Pacific out to Eatonville and signs will guide you to the park. Because Northwest Trek is located quite a drive along surface streets, the quickest way to get there is to take 512 to the Eatonville/SR 161 exit. Take 161 (Meridian) for about 17 miles and Northwest Trek will be on your left.

A couple of men tried their best to hide the drugs but failed when Woonsocket officers pulled them over. The first clue was a heavy smell of marijuana inside the car. A passenger told officers that he had smoked marijuana two hours earlier, while he appeared to be fidgeting with something on the floor of the car. When the driver got out of the SUV, he tried to make a cell phone call with one hand, while reaching inside his jacket with the opposite hand. He pulled out a bag containing a white substance and put it in his mouth.
The officer reached into his mouth to grab the bag, but the 29-year-old bit down on the officer's index finger. The two struggled, with the suspect continuing to bite the officer's finger, until a burst of OC spray resolved that situation. The officer pulled out two grams of cocaine. In the passenger seat, police found a bag of marijuana ripped open and spread into the floor board. Police recovered 50 grams, or roughly $200, of pot.
Suspects found hiding in the wall
Johnston Police found two men who were wanted on various charges . The cops were out looking for one of the men on two outstanding warrants for credit card fraud. When they got to the service station where the man had been renting a service bay (and not paying, it turns out), he tried to run and hide. The owner of the station took the cops into an office where they found the man hiding in a hole in the wall with a second suspect, who was also wanted on court warrants.
Where didn't they find pot?
A 25-year-old Newport man with a valid license to both have and distribute medical marijuana was arrested when police officers found a lot more pot than expected. Officers searching his apartment found marijuana in a safe, in jars and in a cigar box, along with 16 marijuana plants in his roommate's bedroom. They also caught the man selling pot illegally to an undercover officer without a valid medical marijuana license, found $2,757 in cash inside the apartment, and the U.S. postal service seized a package with $16,000 being sent to California, which police suspected was for a large amount of marijuana. He was charged with allegedly selling high-grade marijuana from his apartment.
Panel orders vicious dog euthanized
A three-person panel took the very rare step of ordering a vicious dog euthanized this week, after the boxer/pitbull mix attacked and severely maimed a sickly Barrington cockapoo and injured its owner in July. The panel made it clear that the owner's lack of responsibility was a critical factor in the decision.
The boxer's owner did not show up for the hearing after leaving the dog in a shelter for months, and the dog had a history of being aggressive. During the attack, the boxer/pitbull leaped through the open window of a parked SUV. When the cockapoo's owner picked up her dog to try to protect it, the boxer jumped up, bit into the cockapoo's legs and pulled them to the ground. The boxer pulled so hard that the cockapoo's legs were pulled out of the hip joints and the bite marks penetrated to the bone. "It tore every muscle in the legs," said the owner, who shed tears during part of her testimony. She ended up having her dog euthanized.
Smells like rotten eggs
Woonsocket police officers arrested a 34-year-old man who triggered gas leaks in two residences. Officers first responded to a three-story apartment for a gas leak, called in by the third-floor tenant. He said his first-floor neighbor had stolen a meter from an abandoned home and that he was worried the building would blow up. After nearly 20 minutes of knocking, a first-floor resident (whose gas had been turned off recently) answered the door, and officers instantly noticed a rotten egg smell, normally used by National Grid to identify leaks. In a bedroom inside the apartment, police found a meter, which had been taken from an abandoned home. Officers and emergency personnel from National Grid were able to gain access to that home through an unlocked window, where they found a missing meter, which was also leaking gas.
Wedding reception disrupted by fight, beer bottle in the head
The happy couple had a less happy wedding night after a fight broke out and the groom's brother smashed a bottle into the head of another wedding guest at the Disabled American Veterans Hall in Braintree, MA. The fight allegedly started when one man threw a punch at a 25-year-old woman, whose boyfriend then stepped in to defend her. That's when a wider fight broke out, and the brother of the groom allegedly hit the second man with the beer bottle. The bottle-smasher, a man from Attleboro, fled the hall and was gone before police arrived.
'Can't you follow me home?'
A 41-year-old Narragansett woman tried her best to get the nice police officers to help her out, but they declined, when she was pulled over for drunk driving at about 1:20 a.m. According to police, the woman cut off an officer and another car while leaving Mariner Square in her 2012 white GMC Yukon Denali. When the officer pulled her over and asked where she was coming from, she said she had forgotten her phone. She then asked, "Can't you just follow me home?" Instead, they watched as she allegedly failed a field sobriety test, and they led her to the police station.
Officers, please get my husband away from that woman
Police officers were called to separate a married man from his girlfriend when a woman reported a suspicious car parked along Frenchtown Road in East Greenwich. When they got there, the caller then told police that her husband was locked upstairs with another woman. After some discussion, the parties were all separated and the car's owner was escorted from the house to her car - the one that police had initially been called about.
