It is interesting that Mr. Pyles quotes Mr. Yoder on what rate he negotiated but he failed to mention that Mr. Yoder did not receive a lease or any dollar amount ("Some area property owners signed low-rent drilling leases," Jan. 20 Times-News, Page 1A).
Until the state will allow drilling, there won't be any landmen coming back to lease at any price.

Maryland school officials on Tuesday put an exclamation point on the need to take student-athlete concussions more seriously.
Cashing in
As anyone who lives in the area knows, economic gains have been hard to come by in recent years. The opening of the Rocky Gap Casino Resort is one of the biggest boosts the region has seen in some time.
Why have the media been silent all this time?
When I read the Cumberland Times-News Editorial this morning, Friday, May 17, entitled, "Outrageous," I laughed like a kid at a birthday party!
What are chances this much money will be spent on road?
I was intrigued by cost data summarized in reporter Kathy Mellott's recent article, "Completing southern link of U.S. Route 219 said to be best use of highway funds," which appeared in the Cumberland Times-News on Tuesday May 14 (Page 1A).
School board should be doing better job with less money
The Allegany County Teachers Association (ACTA) board of directors recently submitted a letter to the editor asking the Allegany County commissioners to fully fund the Board of Education's budget request for the upcoming fiscal year ("Commissioners should fund school board request," April 29 Times-News).
Better 'Click It'
If you notice more police on the highway this week, it's for a couple of reasons.
They do bite
This week is National Dog Bite Prevention Week. For anyone thinking that is not such a big deal, consider that 4.7 million Americans annually are bitten by dogs, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Stop buying licenses; let them find the money somewhere else
A few months ago, I received two cards from the National Rifle Association. These were dealing with a legislative alert.
They asked that I should contact Sen. George Edwards and Delegate Kevin Kelly concerning the anti-gun legislation. -
Strength of gun laws is not reflected in grisly statistics
According to the FBI's uniform crime reports, California had the highest number of gun murders in 2011 with 1,220, which makes up 68 percent of all murders in the state that year and equates to 3.25 murders per 100,000 people.
An old story
What for years has been an on-again, off-again battle over funding between the Allegany County Commissioners and the Allegany County Board of Education seems to be growing even uglier.

CLAMA: Cultural and Linguistic Archive of Mesoamerica (2009-2013)
Access the archive at http://MesoamericanArchive.org
Indiana University Project CLAMA abstract
World political and economic changes have fragmented communities and profoundly altered the lives and traditions of rural people in Latin America. Land loss and socio-economic changes associated with the agro-export economy combined with the Central American conflicts of the 1980s to cause a massive migration of indigenous and farming communities to the United States. The end of the Cold War and the return of peace to Central America did not stem the flow of migrants in search of work and the promise of a better life. It is of vital national interest that U.S. researchers and educators work to increase understanding of these cultures and the languages they speak. Project CLAMA proposes to employ a unique technological infrastructure to preserve, disseminate and teach key pieces of the linguistic and cultural traditions of the people of Central America and Mexico.
The CLAMA project aims to accomplish the following:
- To create a digital archive of video, research notes, audio interviews, photographs and other digital sources stored at physical archives in Mexico, El Salvador, Guatemala, Nicaragua and Honduras with the explicit goal of preserving and disseminating sources related to minority languages and cultures.
- To create a suite of freely available software tools to simplify the process of annotating a digital object (video, audio, or photo). CLAMA will extend existing software to create an "Annotator's Toolkit" which will function with video, audio and photographic content.
Institutional relationships:
At Indiana University, CLAMA is sponsored by the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies (CLACS) and the Digital Library Project (DLP). Based at IU, Project CLAMA is a consortium of three leading research institutes in Central America and Mexico: The Institute of Nicaraguan and Central American History (IHNCA, Nicaragua), the Museum of Words and Images (MUPI, El Salvador) and the Center for Advanced Research and Studies in Social Anthropology (CIESAS, Mexico).
Project Plan:
During phase one and two, the physical archives will be assessed, digitization standards agreed upon, and sources selected based on thematic relevance and stage of decay, and digitization will be performed. The project will hire a programmer, agree on software changes, and begin implementing the changes.
Phase three will focus on the creation of detailed annotations to accompany these multimedia sources. These annotations will be created at the partner institutions by academics and researchers knowledgeable about the history and culture of their countries using the software created at IU by the digital library program.
During the final phase of the project, the sources and annotations will be incorporated into the CLAMA Web Portal, and library catalog records will be created. During this final phase, the partners in the US and Latin America will publicize the site internationally and incorporate the audio-visual materials into language and culture classes.

CAMVA: Central American and Mexican Video Archive (2005-2009)
The Central American and Mexican Video Archive (CAMVA) Project (2005-2010) is a four-year Technological Innovation and Cooperation for Foreign Information Access (TICFIA) grant that will allow Indiana University to create a digital archive, making accessible hundreds of hours of raw footage, videos, and films that are currently preserved in a precarious state. The archive will annotate, index and deliver the footage in such a way that it might be used in college and high school classrooms throughout the US, Mexico, and Central America.
At Indiana University, The Central American and Mexican Video Archive (CAMVA) is sponsored by the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies (CLACS), the Center for the Study of History and Memory (CSHM), and the Digital Library Project/University Libraries (DLP). Based at IU, Project CAMVA is a consortium of three leading research institutes in Central America and Mexico: The Institute of Nicaraguan and Central American History (IHNCA, Nicaragua), The Museum of Words and Images (MUPI, El Salvador), and The Center for Advanced Research and Studies in Social Anthropology (CIESAS, Mexico). Since 1960, millions of rural people in Central America and Mexico have undergone radical transformations in their livelihoods and their culture. The spectacular growth of agro-export economies caused a significant ecological, social and cultural transformation of rural communities.
Land loss and internal migration directly conditioned the development of social movements that, following a period of repression, led to civil wars that ripped apart the fabric of Central American rural societies, accelerating the pace of ecological and cultural change. Due to its unique political history, Mexico avoided the civil wars of the 1980s but nonetheless its rural inhabitants, in particular indigenous people, have experienced analogous forms of rapid and profound cultural change. Although many documents have been produced dealing with the conflicts in the 1980s, the more subtle yet crucially significant changes in peoples lives have left relatively little documentary trace.
Similarly, the linguistic and cultural transformations of the indigenous peoples of Mexico have not been documented adequately. Since millions of migrants from that region's countryside moved recently to the United States, Project CAMVA considers it vitally important to achieve a high level of understanding of their cultural history. The principal aim of this project is to address this profound need: to better understand the recent social-cultural histories of Central America and Mexico in order to gain a better appreciation of our new neighbors north of the border as well as those who remain in their respective countries.
Before the rapidly deteriorating film and video archives of this vital region are irreversibly destroyed, Indiana University (IU) will lead a collaborative project to create a digital record available to researchers, teachers, and students everywhere via the internet. This project purports to select audio-visual material that will otherwise likely perish.
Those materials include large amounts of film and video that offer vital insights into the cultural history of the regions rural peoples who, despite massive urban migration, still account for approximately 35 percent of the population. It is highly important to recognize that the overwhelming majority of the rural people of Central America and Mexico have not left written records and, therefore, these audio-visual archives can play a crucial role in allowing scholars and policy makers to understand the cultural roots of the new immigrants, their present cultural universe, and their evolving worldviews and practices. Project CAMVA will take a major step toward meeting this need.
The main activity of Project CAMVA is to create a regional audio-visual archive where no other exists, even at the national level. The collected, processed, and distributed materials will allow students, scholars and policy makers to create cultural/historical benchmarks against which historical comparisons and contemporary studies can be measured. Specifically, the project in Mexico will focus on videos and raw footage collected through years of anthropological studies at CIESAS dealing with the indigenous peoples, mainly of Oaxaca, Veracruz, and Chiapas. In Nicaragua, Project CAMVA will also work with IHNCA in preserving and making accessible rapidly deteriorating videos, films, and raw video footage stored at the Universidad Centroamericana, the Centro de Historia Militar ( Center of Military History), as well as footage from television companies. Most of the videos and television footage deal with rural conditions and conflict during the 1970s and 1980s.
Finally, in El Salvador, Project CAMVA will select and process materials from the vast MUPI collection, containing over sixty reels of film, dealing in large part with the rural-based guerrilla struggle of the 1970s and 1980s among the eastern Salvadoran peasantry of mestizo, indigenous, and hybrid identities. In fact, all collections, rich in cultural and historical material, are imminently perishable, which forms the single, most compelling rationale for the project.

Death row inmate devours 29,000-calorie last meal
6/22/2012If the state of Mississippi hadn't killed Gary Simmons Jr., his last meal might have. Simmons, a convicted murderer on death row since 1997, requested a collection of heart-stoppers, including two Pizza Hut pizzas (one a double portion), almost 6 pounds of cheese, 80 ounces of ranch dressing, a family-sized bag of Doritos, two strawberry milkshakes, 40 ounces of Cherry Coke, a supersized McDonald's fries and two pints of strawberry ice cream. His state-sanctioned feast was estimated to be 29,000 calories — what an average man eats in a two-week period. No word on whether Simmons finished his meal; Mississippi finished him Wednesday. His last words: "Let's get it on so these people can go home."
Should death row prisoners be allowed to choose their last meal?

Susan Manley Laments
New Berlin School Board Member Susan Manley filed non-candidacy papers, signally her intent not to run for re-election. See news report.
It didn't surprise me one bit.
Senator Lazich's Aide's remarks should be retracted
While Senator Mary Lazich's Jan. 4 blog calls Assembly Minority Leader James Kreuser's words deplorable and says they should be retracted, she's turned a blind eye to the deplorable words of her own legislative aide Kevin Fischer. Where's Sen. Lazich's public rebuke of Fischer's antics and her insistence he retract his words and apologize?
Kevin Fischer, Sen. Lazich, and Greg Kowalski are regular bloggers on FranklinNOW. Kowalski, a college student who just turned 21, is an appointed member of Franklin's Environmental Commission. Kowalski's blog is titled Today's Concerns.
Although Fischer has refused to let Kowalski post comments on Fischer's blog, he floods Kowalski's with numerous caustic comments, many of which are insults directed at Kowalski and his blog's readers.
For example: Click on Kowalski's Jan 3 blog entry titled Some commenting issues and you'll find that Fischer posted comments on it 38 times, starting from 8:51 pm and ending at 1:12 am. THIRTY-EIGHT! Fischer's 4- hour marathon of submitting mean-spirited, insolent remarks included calling Kowalski "Pillsbury Doughboy", "Cheesecake Boy", "cheesecake-breath", "cry-baby", and various other personal attacks. Far from being a wit, Fischer comes across as an immature, sarcastic bully picking on a college kid.

Martin Luther King, Jr.'s thought-provoking words
Our nation honors Martin Luther King, Jr., who was a remarkable activist, civil rights leader, and orator.
His words were inspiring and powerful.
Disappointed in Sen. Lazich & Staff
The New Berlin-Muskego NOW newspaper, Jan. 3 edition, had a wonderful article about our son Jason's wedding. Within a week, my husband and I received a "SAW YOU IN THE NEWS!" card in the mail. A handwritten message from Rep. Mark Gundrum's Office was inside, conveying congratulations to us and expressing best wishes to Jason and Christine. Also enclosed was a typed note, which referred to Rep. Gundrum's deployment to Iraq and advised, " Please feel free to contact us in his absence, and we will be happy to assist you in any way we can."
Wasn't that attentive of Rep. Gundrum's staff?!!! It was a nice gesture that sends a positive message to constituents and community. That's an example of good public relations. Mark Gundrum should be proud of his staff members.
Vern Bentley's Preposterous Attacks Against Ald. Bill Moore
Vern Bentley's published letter (Jan. 10, Waukesha Freeman) was a spurious attack on Alderman Bill Moore that distorted facts and Moore's record.

Down in my garage I have an old turntable that was left in the first house we bought. I hung on to it even though it doesn't have a cartridge because it plays 78s. The vinyl store I go to has an attached store that sells only 78s (which is where they were playing the Johnson disc). Quite odd to see a disc titled "Hitler Lives" in the bins...

CLIO -- An arctic air mass that was headed our way has luckily bumped to our north for the next few days, but this does not mean we won't be cold.
Slightly below average temps for this time of year will remain in place through Saturday with highs in the mid 20's and lows solidly in the teens.
Wind will affect the overnight lows strongly, an example being tonight with winds around 10 mph bringing wind chills to the low single digits, possibly even negative temps if the wind picks up strong enough.
By Sunday we get some relief with highs in the 30's and a return to average temps including a little sunshine.

The History of Wirt Dexter Walker: Russell & Company, the CIA and 9/11
Saturday, September 18th, 2010 - by Terry MelansonKevin Ryan - 09/03/2010
World Trade Center (WTC) security company Stratesec has been a topic of considerable discussion among independent 9/11 investigators. One point of discussion has been the possible familial relationship between Stratesec's CEO, Wirt Dexter Walker III, and its director Marvin Bush, whose brother was President of the United States on 9/11. Although Wirt and Marvin are distant relatives, these ties are inconsequential relative to each man's family connections to old drug money, deep state operatives, and the wealthy, powerful people who have controlled such money and operatives over the last two centuries.[1]
Stratesec was a company that provided security services for several facilities that were central to the crimes of 9/11. In the years leading up to 9/11, the company had security contracts with the organization that managed Dulles Airport, where Flight 77 took off that day, and with United Airlines, which owned two of the other three hijacked planes.[2] Stratesec had also run security for Los Alamos National Laboratories, where, at the time, scientists were developing super-thermite explosives of the type that have been found in the WTC dust.[3],[4] Stratesec worked at the WTC and was developing the security system for the buildings in the period leading up to, and including, the day of 9/11. These connections are important considering the substantial evidence that insiders were involved in the 9/11 attacks.
Investigation into this company has revealed that the Chief Operating Officer, Barry McDaniel, came to Stratesec from a subsidiary of The Carlyle Group called BDM International, which specialized in "black projects."[5] The Carlyle Group was managed by several Bush cabal insiders including James Baker and former deputy director of the CIA, Frank Carluccci. Carlyle was funded by investors that included the bin Laden family.[6] Prior to working for BDM, McDaniel had worked as a military ordnance distributor at Fort Belvoir, a facility with many links to 9/11 including the terrorist tracking program Able Danger and the terrorist trainer Ali Mohammed.[7]

October Is National Car Care Month See Pages 8 & 9 For Tips... SERVING THE PEOPLE OF HUNTLEY SINCE 1960 Cljt :254; untkp futm^iht HUNTLEY, ILLINOIS THURSDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1994 - VOLUME 34, NUMBER 28 USPS 580-360 HFPD Invites Public To Open House Former Huntley residents Garnett Jones (left) and Elmer Krause shared life experience stories with Huntley Brownie Troop #46 during their visit to Florence Nursing Home in Marengo. Brownie Troop Visits Nursing Home By Sue Lamb On Wednesday, Sept. 28, Huntley Brownie Troop #46 visited Florence Nursing Home in Marengo. Former Huntley residents Garnett Jones and Elmer Krause graciously shared their life experiences with the girls. Although this was a requirement for their "listening to the past" try-it badge, it wasn't long before the girls and the other residents from the nursing home were sharing their own experiences. It was interesting, no, maybe even amazing, to leaders Cindy Botterman and Sue Lamb how quickly friendships started to develq). This was the first of what will be monthly visits to the nursing home. The girls are planning a Halloween party in October; Thanksgiving in November; and of course a Christmas party in December; January they will help take down the holiday decorations; February will be a Valentine party; and in March a pampering party. The girls will pamper the residents by painting their nails or just playing games with the residents. For their end-of-the- year bash, the girls hope to have Dr. Robert James, a zoologist, visit the nursing home with a few of his furry friends. Members of Huntley's Troop #46 are Kelsey Botterman, MeUssa Drafall, Kristi Erwin, Natalie Kohn, Monica Lamb, Jennifer Lamb, Lisa Ligmanowski, Lindsey Lombard, Heather Malo, Jessica Manning, Kim McCoy, Jenna Montanye, Molly Parker, Kelly Sheehan, Ashley Taylor and Amy Wills. Leaders are Cindy Botterman and Sue Lamb. The Huntley Fire Department would like to invite everyone to its "Open House" on Sunday, October 16. It will happen at the Huntley Fire Station, 11808 Coral Street, between 1pm and 4pm. The open house is being held in honor of Fire Safety Week, October 9-15. For the children there will be a "smoke house." This is designed to inform young children what to do if fire breaks out in their home. Firemen will be there to instruct them what to do and to answer their quesions. From the office of the State Fire Marshal, a special agent/investigator will demonstrate how "Nikki", the fire dog, is used to search for flammable Uquids in possible arson fires. Fox Valley Fire and Safety will instruct and demonstrate the use of fire extinguishers. NFPA and State Farm Insurance will be handing out fire safety information. In addition, Juvenile Fire- stoppers will be on hand to answer any questions you may have. And, as always, the Huntley firemen will be glad to answer questions on the equipment which will be on display. Refreshments will be available and many door prizes will be given away to attendants over 16 years of age. Plan to come and meet the firefighters that serve you and your community. HFPD Begins Juvenile Firestoppers Program By Margaret Strohfus Very young children are attracted to fire and to fire- setting. Curiosity about fire is quite normal for 3-7-year-olds. Children often show this interest and curiosity when they light fires, play with matches, lighters or candles, or when they decide to imitate adults who light cigarettes, candles or fireplaces. Children do not undo'stand the destructive consequences of fire. To the child, fire is considered to be bright, warm and exciting. The Huntley Fire Protection District has estabUshed a Juvenile "Firestoppers" Program. The program is designed as an educational tool to assist parents to confront this problem behavior in their child. The program does not and will not pretend to be the solution to a child's fire-setting tendencies. Children who have participated in Juvenile Firestoppers programs have received positive benefits and incidences of repeat fire- setting have been significantly reduced. Our main objective is to reduce fires set by juveniles in our community. Educational intervention and counseling are the methods used to achieve this objective. If you have any questions regarding the Huntley Fire Protecfion District's Juvenile "Firestoppers" Program, please feel free to contact Marge Strohfus at 708/669- 5066 fOT further information. There will be a display at the Huntley Fire Protection District's Open House on October 16,14pm. Fire fascinates, may frighten and even terrify us, whatever oiu" age. Fire was and is critical to human survival on earth. Fires have caused indescribable destruction and death and will continue to do so unless people develop a greater api»eciation and respect for its hazard cq}abiUties. While it is not unusual for people to find fire interesting, there are nwmal, typical ways that children and adults think about and use fire. Appropriate use of fire may become a problem at times because of the person's lack of skills, lack of knowledge and/or lack of common sense or good judgement Ignorance, continued on page 10 Village Of Huntley Presents Meeting Agenda There will be a regular meeting of the board of trustees of the Village of Huntley on Thursday, October 13,1994 at 7pm in die village hall at 11704 Coral Street, Huntley.

Would wonder skin keep damage from recoil, confusion, sandstorm/hail, items (rocky helmet, sticky barb, etc...), abilities (rough skin, iron barbs), and poison/burn away?
Wonder Skin lowers the chance of status moves hitting by 50%.
e.g. Venomoth with Wonder Skin is against a Rotom who used Thunder-wave. Thunder-wave will have 50% chance of hitting Venomoth instead of 100%. The same goes for any status moves aimed at Venomoth.
So to directly answer your question: NO.
If you are referring to Magic Guard like Legacy Lucario said then yes. Though he does get recoil from Struggle.

The Cardinal have 2 national titles to their credit, 12 conference titles, and have been to the Rose Bowl 12 times and won 9 of them. Some of the great Stanford players who've made their mark on the game of football include Jim Plunkett, John Elway, James Lofton, and John Lynch.
The Stanford Cardinal play their home games at Stanford Stadium. Opened originally in 1921 and remodeled in 2005, the stadium now holds a reduced capacity of 50,000; so make sure you get tickets.

KAPPA PRIME for the 9810 is here!!!
Hot on the heels of Eta and Theta Prime comes Kappa Prime. This is one of the fastest loading hybrid OS made, to date.
It's also one of the best OS for longest battery life. I've compiled many a hybrid for the 9810, and have yet to experience the performance of Kappa Prime
Installation instructions: WARNING!!!
If you do NOT have experience in installing a hybrid or have not spent the proper time informing yourself about hybriding, DO NOT install this hybrid. Your device is not my device, and this hybrid and its parts my wreck havoc on your phone and its operating system. That said, anyone in need of additional support after a successful installation must provide a system read and report. If any of what Im saying sounds foreign to you, DO NOT PROCEED.
As with the former Primes, installation is simple: download and save Kappa Prime.zip to your desktop, unzip the content to your desktop; next - if you haven't already - download and install Star Hub 126.96.36.1994 OS to your computer, once installation is complete, navigate to the Loader Files folder, open, and rename the official .794 folder "(official os)" and leave this folder open; drag and drop Kappa Prime's folder into the open Loader Files folder and delete "(Kappa Prime)" in the name string of that folder.
You are now ready to install a Prime hybrid OS.
I recommend using BBHTools to unshrink any apps that I've already shrunk - because I use alot of betas - then shrink to your liking.
As usual, I'm here to fully support Kappa Prime. If there's anything outside of the subject of this thread, that you may need assistance with, PM me.
Install and enjoy. Happ holidays

I want to personally thank you for allowing me to use this hybrid. I'll hold off posting about this great hybrid and let others try it out and see for themselves what this hybrid can do. I have been amazed as well at the numbers that I've sent to you regarding this hybrid. LOL, since I am a "Kappa" Man, I had no choice. Honestly, I would have tried it if you called it "pickle-on-a-stick". Mainly, because I know what I'm getting with your hybrids. Also, for those that want to ask the obvious- which hybrid is better, can't answer that out of respect for others that also create hybrids and my answer would be very subjective. Even if I don't like the hybrid, I'm not going to talk ish about it. Why? Because the next guy or a newbie may get the wrong impression about what we've always tried to strive for on this site......helping others. What works for one may not work for another based on a number of issues with a lot of them starting with the man-in-the-mirror as user error- 1st. I can say this because NO ONE I've ever known- past or current have ever released a hybrid OS that wasn't working or intentionally to "brick" someone's BlackBerry. Who am I? Just a CrackBerry guy, that (in the past) always searched for hybrids.......on other sites- whether in english or other languages. Some excellent, some good, and some I've had to add .cods to modify and make it work for me. Never complained or griped about any abuse that "I" caused any of my BlackBerries....just fixed them and moved on.
As always, the best way to tell if you like it is to try it. Just follow the directives, download, install, enjoy. Give it a few days to settle. If you've been using other hybrids, allow more time to settle. For those that don't know, Mecca has been around for longer than a minute and making excellent hybrids from his first to his latest. I recommend this hybrid OS to anyone that enjoys a good operating system....that has been enhanced. Again, thanks, Mecca. Much appreciated.Last edited by Blacklatino; 12-21-2012 at 03:17 PM.

I loaded Kappa Prime and so far so good. In the past, with problem loads I could tell on the first incoming or outgoing call that I had the 'mic' problem. No problems in test calls with Kappa. I'm looking forward to seeing what the battery performance is after a couple days of battery pulls. I'll report in again later.
Thanks again Mecca! - 12-21-2012, 09:33 PM #7
Hey Mecca, I've noticed for the past year or so that non hybrid OS updates don't disconnect me from BES, they just re-activate automatically. Will this hybrid do the same or will I need a new activation password?

I ran into an app error (200) on reconnection prior to backup restore. Had to go to 796 stock. Didn't automatically reactivate. I'm now trying to track down my BES admin to reactivate. Not sure what lead to the error. Likely a shrinking issue.

A dispute over who should fund the utility lines may possibly bring construction of the Kelly Campus of Elizabethtown Community and Technical College to a standstill.
With construction of the college right on schedule, the installation of the utility lines is very important to moving forward with the project, said Project Superintendent, Kenny Sutton. We will keep building but without the sewer and water lines it will be difficult to finish the project and get it inspected.
In the regular scheduled Utilities meeting last Thursday night, January 17, Leitchifeld Mayor William H. Thomason requested the utilities commission go ahead with funding the project and begin working on the utility line.
The commission decided to wait to make any action until they receive the word on a grant from the state to help fund the line.
The $29,000 price tag is the cost of materials for the first phase of the utility project. The line will eventually run to the new swimming pool the city has recently approved and final cost is estimated to be around $490,000.
Leitchifeld Utilities Commissioner Kevin Pharis said, "Our current budget does not cover this project because we were unaware we would be doing this. Once the funding is found for this project we are ready to begin the installation."
Construction of the $1.7 million campus began last August and is expected to host a ribbon cutting and open house in early May.
"We are right on schedule for the ribbon cutting to take place in early May and classes to begin in August 2013, said Twin Lakes Regional Medical Center C.E.O. Steve Meredith. "Everything is right on schedule and there have been few delays or set backs in construction."
One million dollars of the funds used to build the campus was donated by the hospital from funds left to the hospital by Walter T. Kelley.
Kelley, the former owner of Clarkson's Walter T. Kelley Company, a beekeeping supply outfitter, left his estate to TLRMC after his death in 1986. The funds were to be held for 20 years, and became available to the hospital in 2006.
With the majority of the money to build the campus coming from the hospital, Meredith has kept a close eye on the construction.

About Me Midrange Shopper
We ordered the faux wood 2 1/2 inch blinds. These are very popular here in TX because they help keep the sun and heat out which helps with our terribly high summertime electric bills. The blinds are great, [...] and the blinds were were simple to install. [...] We hung 4 very long blinds that make up a bay window in a bedroom in the house. I would definitely order these again from Steve's.
I would buy this product again and again

I wish they closed a little tighter but I got the 2 1/2" slats so that might be the reason.The ones I bought for atrium doors are a little short because they had to be installed above the glass which I don't remember being a question asked when I was ordering.

Free Shipping on most Blind OrdersMost blind orders include FREE Ground Shipping to your home or office in the continental United States. Some manufacturers charge an oversized freight charge per order (regardless of the number of blinds) on extra wide blinds because they must use a special delivery company. The width when oversized freight charges apply varies depending on the manufacturer (usually it is around 95 inches or wider) and the charge may be up to $75 per manufacturer per order. M & B, Levolor and Kirsch do not charge oversized freight. Shutters have a freight charge due to the weight of the product. Most blind orders ship within 3 to 5 business days. We do ship to Canada and all other countries. Please call us or send e-mail for applicable charges. Our manufacturers impose a handling fee per order depending on the type of product and order amount that is purchased. For Blind orders, the handling fee is $4.95 per order. You will only be charged one handling fee per order and if ordering blinds and wallpaper together the total handling fee will be determined by the wallpaper order total.
Next Day and 2nd Day AirAll orders can be shipped next day or 2nd day air for an additional charge. Selecting this shipping method does not speed up the manufacturing of your order. It only speeds up the delivery of your order once it leaves the warehouse. Next day and 2nd air day charges on our site are not applicable for Saturday or Sunday delivery. Additional charges will apply If you would like next day or 2nd day air specifically for Saturday or Sunday delivery (please call for price specifically for Saturday or Sunday delivery).

Three fraud investigations are currently under way in Sampson County involving the passing of fraudulent checks, the theft of someone's identity and an attempt to write checks without the authority to do so.
In each case, sheriff's investigators note, suspects are being sought and, in some instances, have been identified but just not arrested — yet.
Evidence, Capt. Eric Pope said, is being gathered in the cases, all which were reported over the last 24-48 hours and all which are currently under investigation.
In the first case, reported Tuesday by employees of the U.S. 421 Check Cashing, note that they were alerted by a local bank that two checks, written against the account of First Tee Trucking, were fraudulent. The checks had been written for $725.82 and $827.51.
Pope said there was a suspect in the case.
He noted that the check-cashing company found out about the uttering of the fraudulent checks only when the bank called to notify them of the problem.
In the second case, a South Carolina woman reported that someone opened a Sears credit card account using her name.
Pope said the card was acquired after the suspect acquired the victim's Social Security number.
Although he would not talk directly about the case under investigation, the officer said that oftentimes those who take a person's identity, apply for the credit card using the Social Security number, get a post office box or use an address of an abandoned house on the application and then wait for the card to arrive.
Once the card arrives, the suspect will then run up a bill or max out the card.
"Bills are then sent to the fake address, followed eventually by late notices. Then the company will run a credit history and get the card-holders other address. Usually the card holder doesn't know until they run their own credit history," Pope said.
That's why he recommends that individuals take advantage of the once-a-year credit history offered by the top three credit reporting agencies.
"That way, you can check your credit history and if there's anything suspicious you can get it straightened out before your credit history is completely ruined," the captain stressed.
The third case, much like the first, involved the writing and attempt to utter fraudulent checks. This time the victim was Metal Specialists of Garland Highway.
The business owner, Rodney Chestnutt of Fayetteville, was notified by the bank of two checks that came back non-sufficient funds. It was then that the owner realized that he had not written the checks and attempted to get in contact with those he believed responsible.
Pope said the suspect or suspects had apparently done the same thing in another location.
All three cases are currently under investigations and arrests are likely.

A Clover man accused his wife of hitting him in the head with an aluminum baseball bat and then running him over with her a car.
When deputies arrived at the couples home Monday night, they found drops of blood leading from the driveway to the front porch, according to a York County Sheriffs report. The 37-year-old man, who by that time had a shirt covering his left eye and forehead, told officers his wife, 41, grabbed a baseball bat while the two were arguing and then hit him on the left side of his head.
When the woman left the house, she got into her car. The man said he was standing in front of the car in the driveway when his wife hit him with the 2005 Chevrolet, knocking him to the ground, the report states.
The man told deputies he and his wife were married but separated. EMS took him to Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte.
The next day, the woman called deputies, asking about the charges against her, the report states. She said she planned to turn herself in voluntarily for criminal domestic violence of a high and aggravated nature. She also said she wanted to press charges against her husband, who she claims pulled her by her hair from her car to the front porch.

Brake Hoses OEM Rubber, Front Or Rear For Porsche® Part # MS-1725
OEM Style Quality Replacement Plated Ends For Durability Reinforced Rubber Hose Material Since rubber hardens and cracks with age, weakened brake line walls often swell causing spongy-feeling brakes. Lines can even burst through the cracks resulting in dangerous brake failure! Performance Products offers these quality brake lines so you can keep your Porsche stopping like it should. TECH TIP: Inspect your brake lines and brake fluid regularly because brake fluid is hydroscopic (attracts water) and under extreme conditions may need to be changed. Learn More

Stainless Steel Brake Lines For Porsche® Part # MS-1726
Peformance Replacement Teflon-lined Stainless Steel Braided Set Of 4 Our teflon-lined, stainless-steel, braided brake lines give you a firmer pedal feel and better brake control. This is a permanent fix, eliminating the cost of repeatedly replacing rubber lines. Our brake lines are exclusively built, using factory race specifications, by the people who supply the brake lines for Porsche Factory and Formula One race cars. These lines are much stiffer due to the stainless steel shielding and may be slightly longer than stock.

Brake Hose Set, Stainless Steel Braid, 2 Piece Set, Front Only For Porsche® 996, 997 Models 1997-2010 Part # P95037013
StopTech stainless steel brake lines improve pedal feel and reduce the amount of time between applied pedal pressure and actual deceleration by preventing expansion, which stock rubber flex lines allow. This provides a quicker pedal response, and allows the driver to maintain consistent brake pressure and precision brake modulation. StopTech brake lines consist of a Teflon� inner line that is covered with a layer of stainless steel woven braid. The Teflon tube is very resistant to expansion under pressure and will not degrade from exposure to break fluid. The stainless steel braid provides support for the Teflon and the weave is extremely durable against incidental impact and abrasion. StopTech brake lines feature a Clear Abrasion Resistant Cover for maximum protection against chaffing All StopTech Stainless Steel Brake Lines are DOT (United States Department of Transportation) compliant and 100% tested to a pressure of 4500 psi.

Following on from the reader critiques, email conversations and meet ups – I realize that there's a big hole out there for people who want to learn how to do specific things photographically – how to achieve the end objectives *you* want to achieve, not what's dictated by an enormous group workshop. And by a big hole, I mean nonexistent other than trial and error or finding a friend who happens to be good at whatever it is you want to shoot, and as a bonus has the time to teach you.
I'm relaunching Ming Thein's Email School of Photography in a slightly different format.
1. Learn what you want to learn. You decide what you your final objective is: it can be as specific or general as you like. Anything from 'how do I make a good photograph?' to 'I want to be able to make gigapixel images'.
2. Receive in depth critiques. Send me a related portfolio of your ten best images, which I'll review and critique briefly. This lets me get a baseline for where you are and where the opportunities lie. I'll be brutal, but objective and honest: you're not going to gain anything from sugar coated comments.
3. It's assignment based. I'll set you ten assignments. Each assignment is aimed at teaching you one thing; the submission is in the form or a photo, or series of photos. There will be a detailed explanation of the hows, whys and technical/ historical context before the assignment, and a thorough review and postmortem dissection afterwards. This is the key learning portion.
4. It's flexible. You're the only student in your particular tailored program, so along the way, feel free to change the end goal as you learn more, or ask any relevant questions you might need answered.
5. Take as long as you need. The assignments can fit around your schedule and level of commitment. In fact, I'd be disappointed if you submitted the first image you shot, because it means you haven't spent any time thinking about the learnings and experimenting.
The Full Course – US$800
The price for this is a one-off fee of US$800, or $900 including the Introduction and Intermediate Photoshop videos.
Compared to the thousands of dollars one spends on a decent camera and a couple of lenses, the equivalent of $80 per lesson is very little money to spend on acquiring the knowledge to use it properly and be able to capture your vision. And unlike equipment, the value of knowledge does not depreciate over time. The Email School was designed specifically to help you learn the fundamentals of photography that apply across any system to let you take the kind of photographs you want to take. It's the distillation of 12 years and millions of images worth of experimentation, experience and expertise into one-on-one, personalized tuition with an experienced instructor and photographer. The reason I'm offering this is because I didn't have anybody to go to to learn about the things I wanted to shoot when I was starting out, but I'd gladly have paid or enrolled in a school to learn – except there weren't any. You don't have to be in Kuala Lumpur to take part (but it would help) – everything can be done over email.
It's a tailored, personal way of learning – you get as much out of it as you put in, and there's no time limit to what you can learn.
Portfolio Review – US$500
Alternatively, I do a comprehensive portfolio review either in person, via email, or recorded to video (depending on your preference); from a submission of 50-100 images, I'll perform a detailed critique of 20 of them, deconstructing them down to elements that work, elements that don't, and most importantly, identifying recurring opportunities for improvement – and how to go about fixing them. I'll also give you useful tips on straightforward things you can do with the equipment you've got to get closer to the results you want. This is similar to the Full Course, but without the assignment-based ongoing feedback process afterwards.
For an idea of what you'll get through the full email school, have a look here – one of my students, Eugene Palomado, has done a fantastic job of reporting on his assignments and impressions of the course.
If you're interested, please send me an email.
Thanks! MT
A couple of testimonials:
Stefan Decker (Email school): I also see a great improvement in my photos and I am so happy that I take your lessons. (Best spent money on photography!)
Pete Saunders (Email School): I certainly have benefited greatly from Ming's mentorship. Don't expect his critques to be sugar-coated. He will be honest (brutally so at times) but fair. If you want to be on the path to developing useful and creative photographic skills, this is the person to go to. I have been fortunate enough to have had the ear (and eyes) of Ming these past few years in guiding me to the satisfying levels I'm at today. Ocassionally, he even likes one or two of my photographs.
Jo B Grasmo (Image critique): Wow! Precisely what I was looking for! Thank you very much! I guess I'm "too afraid" of breaking rule of thirds and having anything in the middle of the image. Balance is indeed something I need to think more about when composing my images, which fits with another goal of less cluttered images – making them simpler and more peaceful. Again, thanks!
Valerji Tomarenko (Intro to PS DVD): Just received the DVD (it took it less than a fortnight to reach Germany). Very happy about it. Exactly what I was looking for, against the backdrop of all these books, tutorials etc. on PH. Thank you so much!
Luis Meirinhos (Intro to PS DVD):
(What I like)
1. I really like the simplicity of the workflow to change a set of photos.
2. Workflow based on 1 application with 2 modules . (Bridge + Photoshop)
2.1 I use 3 applications and wast so many time changing between them (ViewNX, CaptureNX, Photoshop).
3. Photo ranking process with good use of method (FBLW – First BEST Last WORST)
3.1 I use numbers instead of stars on ViewNX, but my method is FIFO – First In First Out. It's good because it's one method but, for this propose, i don't think i have good results. I have many medium quality pictures processed that I'll not see them again. I'll try your method to have better use of time.
4. Many sharpening filters have better results.
4.1 I never realise this. The results are much better compared to one sharpening filter more aggressive.
(What I improve…)
1. Use photoshop non destructively for everything!
1.1 Is there any difference if we use one layer with 50% of grey (Overlay) for dodge and burn?
1.2 this way if I wish to revisit one photo latter I don't lose the original.
2. Workflow of one picture that you have to fix or remove something. Ex: dust, cable,…
I really enjoy the DVD because I learn new ways to improve my photos and have more time to do other things instead of post processing.
Kim Davidson (Intro to PS DVD): After receiving your DVD I installed Adobe Photoshop CS6, never having seen it, camera raw or bridge before. I would not have believed it possible, but thanks to your great instruction on your DVD, I worked my way through bridge, camera raw and successfully processed photos in Photoshop CS6 in just one day and i keep going back to your DVD to learn more. I can't thank you enough.
James (Intro to PS DVD): I just wanted to say thanks for the very informative DVD. I know photoshop pretty well, but you have taken the way I'll use it from now to another level. I was always scared of that Curves line as it seemed to be really sensitive and easily ruin my shots. Now from your DVD I know how to use it and have already transformed a few of my photos and they look so much better. Also your dodge, burn, sponge and sharpening tips were a revelation for me. I won't list all the things you went into, but suffice to say I'm looking forward to going through my photos now and seeing the results.
Djoko Susanto (Intro to PS DVD): I had watched your your photoshop workflow dvd, it was shock me, much.
I never thought, it was so easy techniques, but it's awesome.
I learned so many techniques in photoshop but never realized yours is the best and simple, great job Ming.
Dimitris Glynos (Intro to PS DVD): Hi Ming! I just saw your "Photoshop workflow DVD" and it was really amazing! The resolution of the mov file (1440x900px) is very very good and your workflow both on color & b&w images is pretty impressive! Thanks a lot!
JP Kornberg (Intro to PS DVD): I am happy to support the use of your PS DVD. Your workflow really is easy even for PSphobes.
Joey (Intro to PS DVD): I received your PS workflow dvd a few days ago and have enjoyed it very much. Though not familiar with Photoshop I look forward to trying out the many techniques you discussed and feel confident it will start me on the right path as I step into the often confusing world of post-processing.
Keith Nisbet (iPad app, general): I read all the major review sites and drive myself crazy pouring over reviews trying to figure out how to make the best purchase decision as a nikon F3 owner with some nice old Manual focus lenses that really needs to move into the digital era, but, works on a limited budget.
When I came across your blog it was arresting. Your photos… composition, humanity, beauty, perspective, such a quality that is so difficult to put into words. There's just something special abut your work that engages one for far longer than a quick peek. Your reviews…read like seeing with a translucent film removed from ones eyes for the first time. The detail, clarity and sheer intelligence is so refreshing. Thanks so much. I can only imagine the time and energy you put into your site and its content.
I did purchase your brilliant Compendium iPad app. It's the least I could do. Best wishes for your continued health and contribution to Photography.
Visit our Teaching Store to up your photographic game – including Photoshop Workflow DVDs and customized Email School of Photography; or go mobile with the Photography Compendium for iPad.

According to the Girl Scouts of North-Central Alabama, the camps closings are due to declining interest in camping by its 15,000 member scouts, who seem to prefer other activities, such as trips to Huntsville's NASA Space & Rocket Center.
A feasibility study led to the decision to close Camp Anderei near Rogersville, Camp Tombigbee in Greene County later this year, and Camp Trico in Guntersville and Camp Coleman near Trussville, which are slated for closure in 2013.
For now, Camp Cottaquilla and the Kanawahala Program Center in Chelsea will remain open. However, the scouts' regional council plans another feasibility study in 2014 that may decide the camps' future.
Hilary Perry, spokeswoman for the Girl Scouts of North-Central Alabama, says the decision to close camps is a response to girls' changing interests.
"What they are wanting are some different types of experiences," Perry said. "They are showing us that by how they register and what they are choosing to do."
Of the council's 15,000 member scouts, just 34 were "resident campers" at Cottaquilla in 2011, Perry said, referring to scouts who stay overnight. The camp can accommodate up to 115 resident campers.
"Only eleven troops used Camp Cottaquilla for their purposes last year," said Perry, "and we have 888 troops in the GSNCA. That paints a picture of why a property assessment is necessary."
Today's scouts are gravitating instead to more specialized activities, Perry said, such as traveling with their troops on field trips and taking part in council-sponsored events. One popular activity takes place at Huntsville's Space Camp. About 800 Girl Scouts attended GSNCA's outdoor-theme programs last year, compared to 4,111 who attended other types of programs.
Emotional attachments
Retiree Mary Edna Wuertenberger of Anniston carries in her heart fond memories of scout campgrounds, memories similar to the ones held by local Girl Scouts, many now grown, who have attended camp sessions at Camp Cottaquilla. Since Wuertenberger's youth she has been involved in scouting, including her role as a mother, a professional employee for scouts and a volunteer. She now is a member of the board of the GSNCA and is aware of the issues that surround the council's camps and other properties.
Wuertenberger said she is glad that Camp Cottaquilla and Kanawahala will remain open. She said she knows from her past experiences in closing campgrounds how emotionally attached women can be to the Girl Scout camps they attended as youths. It takes "courage, confidence and character," she said, when making hard decisions, and she said the council had demonstrated all three.
Unless Girl Scouts change their patterns, though, council members will likely require more of the same grit.
Expensive maintenance
Campgrounds are expensive to maintain, as each requires at least one full-time maintenance person. At Cottaquilla, that person is Roger Paradis, who lives on the premises. He has a year-round list of items to care for — lawns, vehicles, tractors, kitchen equipment, weed trimmers, cabins, the lodge, the lake, a swimming pool and plumbing.
"As you can imagine," said Paradis from the porch of the camp's house, "there are a number of toilets little girls can stop up in a heartbeat."
Paradis said the job is year-round. It takes a couple of weeks to open the camp in the spring and a couple to close it in winter. Throughout the year, he hikes the land with a chain saw in hand to keep the trails open. Camp Cottaquilla includes 285 acres, and the council owns an additional 1,700 surrounding acres of timber-management land.
In addition to regular maintenance, the Girl Scouts of North-Central Alabama have paid for improvements to Camp Cottaquilla. A new roof on one building added a couple of years ago cost $7,000, and the lower level in the lodge was air conditioned recently at a cost of about $10,000. A camp director and a community-development manager have offices in the lodge.
Perry, who was present at the interview with Paradis, repeated that cost was not the main factor in the realignment of the way the GSNCA properties are handled. A few days prior, she had shared a May 10 report showing expenses for Camp Cottaquilla.
Camp Cottaquilla collects camp tuition from Girl Scouts and rental fees from the general public, such as church groups, other nonprofit groups and corporate entities. However, the income does not match the costs.
The GSNCA spent $137,822 during 2011, and program fees from camp tuition and rental from nonprofit and corporate groups brought in $28,109. The leftover cost of $109,720, was covered by the GSNCA's general fund, which mainly comes from cookie sales, contributions, United Way funds, fundraisers, and program fees and shop sales.
Area residents who might be interested in improving the chances of keeping Camp Cottaquilla viable by either volunteering and/or making donations to the GSNCA. Web users may go online, girlscoutsnca.org/donate, to learn how to help the council. Others may send checks made to the GSNCA, mailed to 105 Heatherbrooke Park Dr., Birmingham, AL 35242.
