Judged: 1 1 1 Rightwingers has a sad.:-( https://twitter.com/CzarZellem/status/2933928... LMAO! |
Judged: 1 1 1 Idiocy is not the exclusive realm of the brain-dead right, although it has an over abundance of it. No, anyone who takes anything that emanates from the mainstream at face value, and fails to examine evidence to the contrary, some of which is overwhelming and irrefutable, and summarily dismisses it out of hand as so much "conspiracy theory", is also a complete idiot. That, unfortunately, is most people. |
Judged: 1 1 1 . . . . . Today really is a depressing day. . . . . Blue Monday. . . . . |
Judged: 1 1 1 |
Judged: 1 1 1 |
Judged: 1 1 1 I love the blatant racism. Well done. Obama wanted the tax cuts for the wealthy gone, and yes, to get revenue to pay for health care... as well as ALL other federal spending. You aren't very bright are you? Obama insisted they remain for the middle class. "Job creators" is a term used by you right wing nuts to describe the wealthy, who will spend in their infinite wisdom to create jobs... except they don't... because it doesn't work like that. The argument is convincing enough though to get uneducated people to buy into a religious belief... which is what supply side economics is... because to believe it you need blind faith totally divorced from reality... as described by all facts and data. Any other racist rants? Please say yes. |
Judged: 1 1 1 |
Judged: 1 1 1 Expanding the sales tax to services will drive major firms engaged in services such as law, engineering, and accounting out of the state, along with many high-paying jobs. This tax would make such firms non-competitive with other states. This bill is a disaster. |
Judged: 1 1 1 Republicans have to stop buying into things that demonize the president. I mean, why arent Republican leaders shouting out about all this birther nonsense and all these other things? They should speak out. This is the kind of intolerance that Ive been talking about where these idiot presentations continue to be made and you dont see the senior leadership of the party say,No, thats wrong. In fact, sometimes by not speaking out, theyre encouraging it. And the base keeps buying the stuff. |
Judged: 1 1 1 The SS tax holiday should've never happened. The government has been using it as a piggy bank since LBJ. Why do illegals get it? The $110k cap should be raised considerably. |
Judged: 1 1 1 Absolutely a good idea. Problem is that the system is protected by an unholy coalition of religious extremists opposed to alcohol and a state liquor store clerk union dedicated to preserving their overpaid positions. Some of the most "conservative" born-again Republicans are protecting the union. So we just drive to Delaware. |
Judged: 1 1 1 Obama and the Democrats extended the Bush tax rates. |
Judged: 1 1 1 Did we have money for the 2 wars and the 2 tax cuts under Bush and the Part D Medicare prescription drug plan? NOPE! If you dont know what you're talking about,follow it up on FOX news for the lastest and unbiased news .........* snickers* |
Judged: 1 1 1 No, unfortunately. Social Security is a tax, not a contribution. Paying the tax funds current benefits and does not give the payer any right to any future benefits. |
Judged: 1 1 1 Only if the limit on benefits is also increased. |
Judged: 1 1 1 Wrong, the payroll tax holiday benefited everyone, because everyone pays it. And yeah, that includes those who pay no federal income tax... who are incredibly poor. Your assertion that it did nothing to improve the economy is only opinion, and you have no data to say that's the case. In truth, it's impossible to say any one rate or amount improved the economy. In fact, it doesn't matter anyways. All that matters is the entire package... which did improve the economy and kept us away from massive depression. And quite right, the unemployment rate is about the same. Unfortunately for you, this fact is totally unavailing because your scope creates a straw man. But let's talk unemployment. Take a look at unemployment in the summer of 2007... and follow the trend up through the time Obama took office. Guess the trend? That's right... massive explosion of unemployment. It went from 4.6 to 7.8 before Obama took office. The trend continued because guess what... the president can't command the economy at a whim, despite your right wing crap that he's a socialist (look it up because I don't think you guys know what that even is). So it went up 3.2 points in a year and a half about... after Obama took office did this trend continue? No... within the first 6 months the trend continued up to 9.8, yes... as in continuing its preexisting trend. But within 4 years brought it back down. He did this, I will remind you, with Republicans obstructing his efforts at every chance. The economy would likely be much better even today if it wasn't for tea party obstructionists. But crazy people pull the strings in the house. In any case, you get my point.:) |
Judged: 1 1 1 It stated that Chrysler/Jeep was moving all jeep production to China which is WRONG. They are setting up a separate manufacturing in China for models to be sold in China and not the US. Given that Romney was implying that the auto workers were going to lose their jobs when in fact they were not, that makes the difference. Romney lied. |
Judged: 1 1 1 Yes ( and GOP agreed with him ) and Obama wanted to raise tax rates on the rich which the GOP declined over and over and over for years for people making over 250K |
Judged: 1 1 1 $250K per year is hardly "rich." |

'Yes to Equal Citizenship, No to Double Standards'
Thu 14 Feb 2008
Can it be good for Britain if a section of society however small and socio-economically deprived -feels scape-goated and ostracised?
Vigil outside 10 Downing Street
Saturday 16 February, 2-4pm
There come moments when it is important for fair-minded people to stand their ground. Now is a time for solidarity; to affirm respect, equality and parity for all Britons, irrespective of race and creed. Can it be good for Britain if a section of society however small and socio-economically deprived -feels scape-goated and ostracised?
Following the Archbishop of Canterbury's thoughtful address calling for a dialogue on shariah issues there have been appalling displays of prejudice and contempt towards Islam and Muslims. It is not a matter of being unduly sensitive to criticism, but rather a warning of the slippery slope from verbal mockery to physical intimidation. Do we really want Mosely's Black Shirts back on the streets of Britain?
We are deeply troubled with the suggestion that it is somehow OK for a Muslim MP to be bugged because of the 'war on terror'. We are worried by headlines like 'Minister warns of inbreeding Muslims'. We are disturbed when an eminent Islamic scholar is denied entry to the UK. We are troubled that our concerns on issues of sacrilege are dismissed as an infringement on freedom of speech. It is no wonder that even in our schools, Muslim children highlight their fear of bullying more frequently than those from other faith groups. Is this the society of the future we want one of first-class, confident citizens and second-class, anxiety-ridden citizens?
It is with these questions in mind that a number of civil society organisations have come together to stage a vigil outside No. 10 Downing Street on Saturday 16th February 2008 at 2pm, under the slogan 'Yes to Equal Citizenship, No to Double Standards'.

Policy reforms to increase student success.
Community colleges, far more than four-year colleges, serve groups that will dominate our undergraduate student populations and our work force for decades to come: students on their own financially, older students, people of color, parents, first-generation college students, and immigrants. Although widely viewed as gateways to the American dream, community colleges face relatively low completion rates. This quandary challenges our national commitment to economic mobility.

CUMBERLAND ŌĆö If you have been in a war and felt the fear of knowing the next moment could be your last, there are some things you can never put aside, never forget. Wilfrid E. Hebert, 89, was all too aware of that fact after he enlisted in the service in 1942 and became a member of the Army Air Corps' 48rd Bomb Group based in Italy.
WOONSOCKET ŌĆö School officials have opened an investigation into how a local preschool student was forgotten on a Durham School Services bus on Wednesday. The unidentified 4-year-old boy was reported by School Superintendent Giovana Donoyan to have been picked up by a Durham bus for transportation to an afternoon kindergarten class at the Gov. Aram J. Pothier Elementary School but was never dropped off at the school.
TheyŌĆÖve spent the past eight weeks working hard and overcoming some tough league opponents for the right to play in a meaningful game on VeteranŌĆÖs Day weekend. For neighboring schools Tolman, Cumberland, and St. Raphael, that weekend has finally arrived, and the meaningful games that they will participate in will be their quarterfinal-round games of the Division II playoffs.
Rick Pitino, sage that he is, shared this little anecdote at last monthŌĆÖs Big East media day ŌĆō one that illustrates the waves new Providence College head coach Ed Cooley is making on the recruiting trail. ŌĆ£HeŌĆÖs already attracting ŌĆ" he beat us out on a player recruiting-wise,ŌĆØ said Pitino point blank, his eyes lighting up as if they were filled with fire. ŌĆ£I would have said, when it got to Providence and us [Louisville], he would have had no shot in getting this player, but Ed got him. So heŌĆÖs already made an impact.ŌĆØ
WOONSOCKET ŌĆö During their truly exceptional high school careers on the Mount St. Charles Academy softball team, Emily and Olivia Hendricks have established themselves as the very best at their positions in the state. Emily earned back-to-back All-State honors as a slick fielding shortstop who batted second and was an offensive threat from the left side of the plate, while Olivia posted a 36-15 mark as the MountiesŌĆÖ ace pitcher, and offensively, was a bonafide run producer in the heart of the lineup.
KINGSTON ŌĆö For the first time in its long history, Cumberland will play for a state championship. The Clippers earned a berth in SaturdayŌĆÖs Division II championship match on Wednesday night by surviving a hard-fought 3-1 triumph over a Central Falls team that was determined to spring its second upset victory of the playoffs at URIŌĆÖs Keaney Gymnasium. Senior standouts Micaela Malboeuf (13 kills, 25 digs) and Michelle Malboeuf (11 kills, 20 digs) had big games for the Clippers, who defeated the Warriors by scored of 25-18, 25-19, 22-25, and 27-25 to advance.
WOONSOCKET ŌĆö The past 24 hours have been bittersweet for Kelsey Lace. On Tuesday night, Lace suffered the worst loss of her outstanding high school career when her then-unbeaten Mount St. Charles Academy squad was ousted in four games in the Division I semifinals by Ponaganset High. It was a very bitter ending to a brilliant four-year run with the Mounties -- one that included a Division II state championship her sophomore year and what will soon be a repeat appearance on the All-State team.
ŌĆ£With the benefit of hindsight, I wish I could have done more.ŌĆØ ŌĆō Joe Paterno *** Who would have thought it would end this way for the legendary Penn State coach of 46 years? Paterno, the man of high moral values, the guy who once vowed not to retire and ŌĆ£leave college football to the Barry Switzers and Jackie SherrillsŌĆØ of his coaching fraternity, had failed the biggest morality test of his life.
Roland E. Bernier
BELLINGHAM - Roland E. "Joe" Bernier, 85, of Cross St. died Tue. Nov. 8, at his home surrounded by his loving family.
Roland R. Lebrun
WOONSOCKET- Roland R. Lebrun, 53, of Vivian St. died Sunday November 6, 2011. Born in Woonsocket, son of the late Robert Lebrun and Aldea (Beausoleil) Lebrun, of Woonsocket. Roland worked as a Grounds Keeper for the Gloucester Country Club, and was an avid golfer. Besides his mother, he is survived by two sons, Christopher and wife Nancy Lebrun, of Cumberland, R.I., Matthew R. Lebrun, of Burriville, R.I. One brother Richard Lebrun of Bellingham and two grandchildren and his companion, Robin Michon, of Woonsocket. He was also the brother of the late Donald Lebrun.

The database contains over 1,200 documents, some 400 of which are classified as Regulatory Impact Analyses (RIAs) or more recently as Economic Analyses (EAs), as well as many related reports and information. Most of these documents were prepared by EPA program offices in response to the analytic requirements of executive orders 12866 and 12291, which require information on the costs and benefits of proposed major federal initiatives to protect health, safety and the environment. This report also extends the 1987 report by updating a number of sections, adding summaries of some more recent Economic Analyses, and reviewing other reviews of EPA Economic Analyses.

Local governments provide better services when they engage citizens in co-designing and improving the service
Fullly agree with Beth Noveck: transparency of the Government itself does not change anything and does not solve the local problems without combining it with the next step - meaningful citizens' participation and collaboration for the chage.
In Ukraine where I'm from 54% of citizens are fully or mostly unsatisfied with the quality of administrative service provision. Reasons include complexity of the administrative procedures; lack of proper information from the authorities; lengthy terms of service provision; uncomfortable work schedules of the administrative bodies; and many others. But can citizens influence this situation?
Effective mechanisms of raising citizens' concerns to provide their feedback to the local authorities and, most importantly, to make sure that this feedback is translated into the real actions to improve the quality of service provision, are still lacking.
One of the models which was experimented in L'viv municipality is a "Secret Client" model within which the organised groups of volunteers attend the administrative bodies to get some service and then report to the municipality through the active local CSO with their recommendations for improving the quality of this service.
There is also a number social innovation projects helping to engage citizens for constructive monitoring and oversight on administrative service provision in the couontry.
Our idea is to collect the most efficient models of engaging citizens by the local governments for the sake of improvement of the administrative services they provide.
We are sure that the TED community accumulated rich knowledge on the topic, which you could help us to reach. Please tell us about all experiences which you may recommend as a smart practice of public oversight on administrative service provision, be it Web 2.0 based initiatives or real-life exercises accomplished in your countries. We will be sincerely grateful for all thoughts and ideas you share with us.

Miley Cyrus made a HUGE statement last night without ever saying a word ... 'cause she went out in public WITHOUT her engagement ring ... in the wake of rumors her fiance cheated on her.
Miley DID have some jewelry on her hand when she went out in L.A. last night ... in fact, she even had a couple of rings on her ring finger ... just NOT the giant rock Liam Hemsworth gave her when he proposed.
The timing is interesting ... 'cause there have been reports that Miley was angry with Liam ... who was recently spotted in the back of a car with actress January Jones.
Just a few hours before she went out in public yesterday, Miley had tweeted that she had NOT called the wedding off.
Then again ... 'lotta stuff can happen in just a few hours.
Liam wanted Hannah Montana, not Justin Beiber. I don't blame him parking his bike in January's trunk.
Those look like the bands that go with the big rock, so maybe she just didn't feel like wearing the big stone.
I think Liam was just testing the waters and taking a break from the weirdness. I don't think he really cheated on Miley. Maybe he was just hanging out with the actress to give Miley a wake-up call. She has been getting freakier and freakier.
I think he wanted to marry a nice Southern girl from Tennessee, and he ended up with a Brigitte Neilsen wannabe. I don't think that is what he is after. He seems to conservative and straight to go for that.
Miley has been acting bonkers since she got engaged.
These kids are just too darned young to be married! Why start your divorce career off this early?? Grow up and learn about yourself first!
wording is interesting MILEY did not call off wedding but maybe LIAM did.. big difference..
It's funny how these young kids think they know everything and are ready for marriage. Most aren't ready and this is what happens. Miley you aren't hott either

Correction: An earlier version of this column incorrectly cited Cara Unger, wife of Senate Majority Leader John Unger, as the author of an email sent to legislators opposing the public education reform bill. The email's author was Shannon Unger, an elementary school teacher who lives in Martinsburg. John Unger said he and the author of the email are not related.
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- During the House of Delegates' floor debate on the bill to nullify city and county gun ordinances (HB2760), at least three delegates, including Delegate Mark Hunt, D-Kanawha, referred to the hardship Charleston's one-handgun-per-month limit imposed on the Cabela's outdoors superstore within the city limits.
(In fact, Delegate Woody Ireland, R-Ritchie, displayed his Cabela's rewards credit card -- which as was pointed out, could constitute an Ethics Act violation, since he was alluding to potential private gain if the bill passes.)
In fact, there was no formal request -- and as best I can determine, no informal inquiries --from Cabela's executives seeking passage of HB2760.
As we've experienced twice in West Virginia, Cabela's does incredible amounts of research on site selection -- and frequently negotiate tax breaks, zoning, and other concessions from localities as conditions for locating a store.
Cabela's leadership knew about Charleston's handgun ordinance, and evidently did not consider it an impediment to locating an 80,000-square-foot store in the city, or they would have come to City Council to get the ordinance repealed or modified.
I've yet to set foot in Cabela's, but I suspect handguns make up a small percentage of sales in a store that sells all manner of hunting, fishing, boating, camping, and outdoors equipment.
Ironically, the day after the House passed HB2760, Cabela's stock jumped 13 percent, on reports that first-quarter same-store sales percentages were up by the mid-teens.
A reader wanted to know how much campaign money the NRA had given to the bill's sponsors. A spot-check of the lead sponsor, Delegate Rupert Phillips, D-Logan, or ranking delegates (Boggs, Miley, White) showed no contributions from the NRA's political action arm.
However, it is interesting to look at the sponsors' home counties: Logan (2), Lincoln (2), Harrison, Braxton, Mingo (2), Raleigh, Randolph and Upshur. Only two of the 11 sponsors live in cities of any size.
A good analogy would be if rural legislators introduced a bill to outlaw traffic lights statewide. After all, they're an inconvenience for drivers, their constituents don't like them, and their home districts statistically have fewer traffic accidents despite not having traffic signals.
In that scenario, residents of Charleston, Huntington, Morgantown, and other traffic-congested cities would be rightfully perturbed that rural legislators were attempting to impose a law on them that would assuredly make their city streets more dangerous.

White House drafting plan for cyberspace safety
The White House is hoping to come up with a comprehensive strategy to better protect people in cyberspace and is asking the public for help.
Releasing a draft of the potential new National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace (PDF) last Friday, the government is aiming to set up a system that would let people voluntarily create trusted identities to use in online transactions.
The goal, as described in a blog post by White House cybersecurity chief Howard Schmidt, is to secure and protect transactions in cyberspace through use of a special ID--a smart card or digital certificate--that would prove … Read more

October—How Not to "Fall" Apart
By Dr. Tami James Moore (email@example.com)
The initial excitement and anticipation of being a First Year Student starts to fade. Activities and events welcoming new students to campus made them feel special—and they still are. But now, after five weeks of classes, activities, and a possible trip home over Labor Day Weekend (where the entire family experienced that new awkwardness of "child as guest"), your student is facing new challenges.
Life in the Residence Hall
Even under the best of circumstances, weeks of living with a roommate evolve into conflicts of one kind or another by early October. The "honeymoon phase" is over. Little things the roommate does or doesn't do start to look big and irritating. Both begin vocalizing likes and dislikes as the communication relaxes and intensifies. Both students are feeling the stress of increasing academic challenges and touches of homesickness. This new tension often resembles sibling squabbles, and if not confronted quickly, can escalate to ugly.
Encourage your student to vent to you. Determine what is 1) serious, 2) important and 3) trivial. Serious situations like roommate drug use, rule breaking, and other dangerous activities need to be addressed immediately. The residence halls have policies and people in place and should be contacted as directed in the handbook. The Resident Assistant or Hall Director is a good point of first contact. If your student is reluctant to take this step, offer to support him/her in the process. Don't discount their reluctance to report. Your student is trying to find his/her place in this new social system, and alienating a roommate is a serious step with possible long-lasting negative ramifications. But, as the adult, you need to work with UNK to ensure your student's safety.
Important situations--like a roommate's continued disrespect of your student's need for quiet sleep, cleanliness, and boundaries--need to be addressed or they will escalate. This should be student-initiated, though. It is an opportunity for you and your student to discuss appropriate action, but for you to step back and take the role of coach, not player. Encourage your student to 1) choose the most important battles and 2) generate several possible positive solutions before they initiate such discussions with the roommate. Again, the Resident Assistants and other members of the Residence Life staff have training in conflict negotiation and are good resources for your student.
Trivial situations are often the small things that escalate into major issues that are really being used to "start the real arguments". The roommate hits the snooze button too many times. He/she never takes out the trash. The cell phone ringtone is obnoxious. Help your student realize that we all do little things that irritate others. Encourage him/her to make positive suggestions or to "switch triggers"—I'll quit doing X if you will quit doing Y". Help them realize how hurtful comments or requests about personal behaviors can be.
The New Circle of Friends
Some students may decide quickly that their roommates are new "best friends", but many will categorize them as new "friends". Roommates who knew each other before coming to UNK may be discovering that good friends shouldn't try to be roommates. While UNK is an academic setting, it is important to acknowledge how much of the college experience is SOCIAL. For students coming from large, urban school settings, this new social situation is much like moving from middle school to high school—new friendships will be forged and old friendships will wane. For students coming from smaller, more rural settings, they may have been in the same group of friends from Kindergarten to graduation. For some students, making friends is easy and fun. For others it is work and stressful.
Encourage your student to talk about new and old friends with you. Let them know that each life stage will present this same opportunity to them. Console them when relationships end (and this may be a time when new romances sputter, fizzle, or flame) and encourage them to share new friendships with you.
Classes, Assignments, Tests, and Grade Checks
By now your student has realized that university classes are very different from high school classes. It is important that you understand that, in a college-setting, each professor has the right and the responsibility to create, deliver, and grade his/her course. If your student has five courses, there may be five completely different "syllabi", or sets of expectations to navigate. There is no single grading scale, textbook, or standardized set of materials. It is much like reporting to 5 different "bosses".
Your student may have had one or more disappointing test or project grades. It may take that first test to understand what to expect in future situations. Encourage your student to make necessary adjustments and NOT to dwell on, but to make efforts to correct their approaches to course preparation. Reality check—you may not get all A's! This is very stressful to students who have always had stellar high school GPAs. In these situations, it may be very important for you, as their support system, to come to terms with this also. If your student is in an organization that requires "grade checks", they will have completed at least one by this point. Encourage them to share this with you only if you are prepared to be supportive. They have time to make great improvements. Suggest that they make appointments to meet with faculty about their concerns and then ask them how those meetings went. It is not uncommon for students to have multiple tests scheduled during the week before Fall Break (Oct. 8-12th). This may be an especially stressful week.
Remember that federal law (FERPA) prevents faculty from discussing your student's performance with you. Even if you are part of the PASS program, do not call faculty directly with your concerns. The relationship between your student and his or her professors is an important part of their continued success.
Fall Break
October 13th to 16th may be the first extended visit students make to their home communities. Unlike Spring Break, there are few recreational vacation-type excursions available at this time. Families will need to renegotiate expectations. College students may have different time schedules (up late, sleep in) and have become accustomed to making their own decisions about social activities and schedules. If parents insist on curfews and rigid time schedules, they can expect some resistance. Just as you counseled him/her about picking battles with roommates, you need to model by selecting your battles carefully, too. Focus time and energy on making this time together restful and memorable.
Spring Course Enrollment
Soon after their return to campus from break, your student will be meeting with an advisor to select courses for the spring semester. UNK is working diligently to have 4-year plans in place for all majors by next year. This advising session allows the student to independently, but under the guidance of a professional, determine a plan of degree completion and select courses needed from multiple sections under different times and instructors. Freshmen are generally the last students to gain access to the on-line enrollment site and they MUST meet with an advisor before they can process their spring enrollment. They may be considering changing their program of study and may seek your advice. Help them explore options available, but do not pressure them to be in a major that appeals to you. Parents want the best for their children, but sometimes "best" doesn't equate to the highest income or most prestigious fields. Work with your student to discover his/her passion. Faculty and staff at UNK can help align a program of study with both career goals and personal interests.
Fall Health Bugs
Campus is a bug-friendly place—and I'm not referring to bed bugs! Germs are well-fed and distributed in classrooms, restrooms, commons areas, and cafeterias. October is often characterized by the "first wave of illness". Encourage your student to eat well and on a regular basis, to exercise, and to maintain diligence in the war against disease. This may be the first time your child has been ill without your presence. Communicate with them and offer your guidance and support. If you feel that they may need medical assistance, encourage them to visit the Student Health Center. The professional staff at the center is first-rate and will help your student determine if further medical help is necessary. If so, they can help connect your child with area health providers.
Well, that is a lot of information! The first-year experience at any university is packed with adjustment problems and successes! You are over the half-way mark for the first semester! Congratulations and Best Wishes!

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Charleston Catholic golfer Christian Casingal has such an acute grasp on the obvious, yet it's an ability to put it into action that sets him apart from most of West Virginia's Class A high school players.
That's the attitude he takes north today when he travels to Wheeling for the State High School Golf Championships Tuesday and Wednesday at Oglebay Park's Robert Trent Jones Course.
"You have to stay within yourself, concentrate and focus and you can't really think about your score," Casingal said. "Going into the final nine (holes) you just have to think about the little things you need to do to get a low score: Hit the fairway, hit the green and make your putts."
Simplistic perhaps, but practicing what he preaches is what secured medal honors for Casingal last season as a freshman. While it's a long way off, the 10th-grader thinks about the possibility of he, and his team, winning four consecutive titles.
"That's like my major goal for high school golf," said Casingal, who finished three strokes ahead of teammate Aaron Persily for Class A medal honors in 2011. "Not just four years individually, but four years for the team. That would be icing on the cake, winning individually and celebrating with your team. I think we have a good shot."
This year, Casingal and Persily will be joined by teammates Jordan Covelli, Jackson Ellis and Allie Persily - Aaron's younger sister, who will play the second round at No. 4 after Ellis handles the first 18 holes.
History stands in the way of the Irish, who have five golf titles but none consecutively. Catholic has finished first or second 10 times since 1999, and was first or second every year since 2006.
An obstacle for Casingal's quest is Buffalo's Cory Hoshor, who is playing in the State Tournament for the third straight year, but the first time with his team, which includes Blaik Caplinger, Bradley Harris and Drew Patton.
Hoshor has experience on the par 71, 6,605-yard layout, despite a first-round 87 last year - one stroke higher than his first-round performance as a freshman.
He was the individual medalist at the Class A Region 4 Championships - finishing ahead of Casingal and Persily.
"I just didn't come into the tournament playing the greatest (last year)," Hoshor said. "This year I dedicated myself more, started practicing more. I wouldn't say my low numbers are any lower, but my high numbers aren't as high. It's maturity, better decision making, knowing where to hit and not hit the ball."
There is enough competition for medal honors in Class A, including Madonna's Michael Rogers, who was T6 last year; and Moorefield's Quincy Fraley (9th in 2011).
Weather also is a major consideration. The ever-changing weather patterns on top of the hill at Oglebay Resort has shifted - since Friday - from 70 degrees and 10 percent chance of rain on Tuesday to 68 degrees, with thunder and an 80 percent chance of rain.
Hoshor said he's played the Jones course close to 10 times in different seasons.
"The thing about Wheeling is it can change so much in one day," Hoshor said. "Playing it in the fall and playing it in the summer is much different. This time of year, it's usually wet and cold and you're losing 15 to 20 yards per shot because of the thickness to the air. It's windy and rock hard in the summer."

Hyperthyroidism Treatment
Patient Comments
Read 3 Comments
The treatments discussed here are for all causes of hyperthyroidism except for subacute thyroiditis. Subacute thyroiditis typically gets better without any specific treatment. The treatment options for hyperthyroidism caused by Graves' disease or nodular thyroid disease are divided into two sections.
Although the most common treatment of overactive thyroid disease is radioactive iodine ablation, many patients are initially treated with antithyroid medication to normalize thyroid hormone levels prior to either radioactive iodine ablation or thyroidectomy. Surgery is used to treat hyperthyroidism if the patient requires a quick reduction in thyroid hormone levels such as during pregnancy. Next Page: Must Read Articles Related to Hyperthyroidism

Back in 2001, we estimated that Brazil could bring 200 to 300 million acres of land into agricultural production—an area equal to the US acreage involved in major crop production. Two years later the, USDA Foreign Agricultural Service, (FAS) estimated that over time the potential added production acreage could be closer 420 million acres.
The high prices being fetched this year for corn and soybeans this year may turn out to be a mixed blessing for crop farmers.
In early October, Senator Richard Lugar of Indiana, author of the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) in 1985 and Chair of the "Senate Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry Committee in 1996" when Freedom to Farm was adopted, announced the introduction of a farm bill proposal that would save "$40 billion in USDA Cuts to Help Meet Federal Deficit Reduction Goals." The bill was co-sponsored by Rep. Marlin Stutzman, also of Indiana.
As we are writing this column, 2,153 people have become ill from an E. coli outbreak that is centered in Germany, 22 have died and approximately 30 percent of the reported patients have contracted hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). The species (serotype) of bacteria responsible for this outbreak is E. coli 0104:H4 which is a non-104:H7 STEC (Shiga Toxin producing Escherichia coli).
By Daryll Ray
For most of us of a certain age, the experience of the agricultural sector in the 1980s is seared into our minds. The average value of all US farmland had relentlessly increased from $82 an acre in 1954 to $823 per acre in 1982 - the best land was selling in the vicinity of $3,000 per acre. Beginning with the explosion of the export markets in the early 1970s, US farmland prices increased at double-digit rates from 1973 to 1981.
Over the years as we have talked to farmers about their health care coverage, we find that they fall into four groups. A large number of farmers have a spouse who works in town and has access to health insurance through an employer-paid group insurance program. When asked, these farmers often acknowledge that the health insurance coverage is more important than the salary.
The causes of the quick run-up, peak, and current price of grains and oilseeds that is well above the levels of just five or six years ago are of interest to many. In the US the farm sales of crops increased from $122 billion in calendar year 2006 to a forecast of $173 billion for calendar year 2010. Crop farmers are hoping that the underlying causes indicate a shift to a new plateau in prices, well above the prior plateau that began in the early 1970s. Livestock producers, having been hit hard by the sharp feed price increases of the last couple of years, are hoping that prices will become more predictable. A number of grain importing nations have been leasing land or looking into leasing land in developing nations as a means of protecting themselves against a surge in prices like the one they saw from 2006 to 2008 and beyond.
Major changes in crop programs are usually accompanied by uncertainty on the part of farmers. The late passage of the 1996 Farm Bill and its radically new provisions had farmers scratching their heads as they struggled to understand AMTA payments (Agricultural Market Transition Act) and the Marketing Loan Program with its Loan Deficiency Payments and Marketing Loan Gain provisions.
By way of contrast, farm bills, like the 2002 legislation, that make only incremental changes are taken in stride. Farmers, along with their bankers and CPAs, know what to expect and the uncertainty is low.

nn19 2.5 to 6.5 discrepancy...
quick help for a 2.5 upgrade to 6.5 noob plz.
i know this is probably something small that i'm overlooking, however, when i used to open up nn19 samplers in 2.5 they opened up empty and ready to use. in 6.5 i see they open up with sounds that i cannot seem to get rid of. search for my own loop then load it, and found i have to set it to solo every time in order to play my sample and not the preset default sound. i do this then save it. when i open up again it's back to the default and i have to hit solo again. will i have to hit solo every time i open up to hear the samples i chose and that aren't the defaults? surely there's a quick fix! (couldn't find it in tutorials.) any help will be appreciated. |

Morningside College posts
largest full-time enrollment in decades: total student body increases 20 percent to surpass 1,700
Morningside College enrollment increased 20 percent for the second year in a row with 1,722 full-time and part-time students for the fall semester, including the largest full-time, undergraduate enrollment since 1977.
Both full-time and part-time student enrollment contributed to the increase. Full-time, undergraduate enrollment rose 10 percent from 1,066 last year to 1,168 this year. The largest jump, however, was among graduate students, whose ranks grew from 291 to 490 this year, a 68-percent increase.
Among the student body are 403 new full-time students, including 71 transfer students and 332 first-year students. (Above, Morningside College Class of 2010 at Olsen Stadium)
The mean ACT score of the first-year freshmen class continues to climb, reaching 23 this year, up from 22 last year. Last year, 39 percent of first-year students were in the top 25 percent of their class; this year, 43 percent of the first-year students were in the top 25 percent.
"We are pleased that the freshman class academic profile continues its steady improvement," said Morningside College President John Reynders, "and that this upward trend has been recognized by the U.S. News & World Report rankings, which recently reported an improvement in the ACT scores and high school class rankings of Morningside's first-year students."
The number of freshman merit scholarships awarded by Morningside increased as well, with 32 President's Scholars and 165 Dean's Scholars comprising nearly 60 percent of the class. The renewable, four-year scholarships are based on a combination of ACT score and high school class rankings.
Morningside's first-year to second-year retention rate also leaped to 77 percent this fall, compared to 65 percent in 2005.
Reynders said, "The promise of an environment that cultivates a passion for life-long learning is being fulfilled by our faculty and staff. Students are realizing their opportunities here and returning to continue their Morningside experience."
Diversity among full-time students on campus improved, with 82 students, or 7 percent, representing ethnic minorities, compared to 72 students last year.
A total of 18 full- and part-time students come from the following seven foreign countries: Albania, Canada, Germany, Ghana, Ireland, Japan, and Taiwan.
Students from Iowa and Nebraska comprise nearly 90 percent of the total full-time student body. Sioux City students account for 22 percent, with 46 percent coming from other areas of Iowa. Nebraska students make up another 19 percent. Students from 20 other states, some from as far away as California, Arizona, and Washington, represent the remaining 11 percent.

The Lottery Rose
by Irene HuntGeorgie Burgess lay in the clean white bed, relaxed and contented, glad to be alone and able to have a waking dream of what it would be like when he could be close to his rosebush again. After pain and a fear that had stayed with him con stantly until it wore him out and made his body sick, after all the terrible days, his rosebush was safe and because of that, it was safe for him to rest. Sister Mary Angela did not lie. He should have known she was not like his mother. She did not lie and he felt safe in believing that his rose was now where it belonged in the beautiful garden that was like a page in his flower book. Before Georgie Burgess came to live in the home for boys, his world had been a world of terror, anxiety, shame, and mistrust. The ugly scars and bruises that cov ered his body had not been inflicted by "some big kids" as he claimed, but at home, where he was regularly beaten and battered. The psychic wounds of that abuse were more devastating than the welts and broken bones. A powerful, timely novel about a young boy, who victimized by child abuse, makes his way back to a point where he can accept and give love, replacing suspicion with trust and friendship.

text: Adolescent immunization rates lag far behind childhood rates. As a result, adolescents are left needlessly exposed to serious diseases that can cause immediate and irreparable harm, such as meningococcal disease, and infections like hepatitis B and HPV that can lead to long-term health crises including certain cancers. One of the prime opportunities to vaccinate and provide counsel about the importance of immunization occurs during regular wellness visits, but adolescents don't make these visits as often as they should. It is therefore critical to take every opportunity, including visits outside of the routine check-up (e.g., for illness or sports physicals) to open the dialogue with parents and guardians about immunization. These tools have been designed as ready-to-use resources to help promote and facilitate patient education, and improve vaccination rates in your practice.
