WASTE WATCHBike Paths
from Eyewitness News Online
Public Money Used To Create Lanes For Cyclists
September 3, 2013
Technically, bicyclists already have a place to ride in West Virginia. it's called the road. Cyclists have as much legal right to be on the highway as motorists. But in reality, bikes on roads can present safety concerns so accommodating cyclists is generally looked upon as a good idea.
That was one of the reasons for the bike path on Route 60. A combination of state and federal funds paid for the project, along with paving in Amandaville and a South Charleston Park and Ride. The West Virginia Division of Highways says the combined work cost 3.5 million dollars. 2.9 million was federal stimulus money. The remaining 600-thousand came from the state.
Although the Route 60 bike lane has been criticized for it's placement on a highway that can be dangerous for pedestrians and cyclists, the DOH says it is a step in the right direction.
"We were getting calls and e-mails from folks who were riding bicycles in that area anyway," Brent Walker, W.Va. Division of Highways. "So, I know it's been under a lot of criticism but it's better than it was and it really does allow the folks to get from St. Albans to as far as South Charleston."
Walker says studies show West Virginia is 46th in the nation in making space for bicycles on the road. He says improving that ranking could make for healthier lifestyles and a greener environment. But even without bike lanes, drivers are encouraged to share the road with cyclists so everyone can travel safely.

There are many people within Housing & Residence Life that help to complete your experience while living on campus. Residence Hall Directors (RHDs) are full-time staff members who manage the daily functions of an apartment or residence hall. Additionally, there are Assistant Hall Director(s) (AHDs) which are graduate or doctoral students, working part-time, to assist in the daily operations of the buildings.
The most commonly know positions are the Resident Assistants (RAs); they are what make living on campus an enjoyable experience. RAs assume an active leadership role through the development and preservation of a positive living and learning environment within the residential communities.

There are several other student positions within Housing & Residence Life that help to create a positive overall experience for every student living on campus. Our Desk Receptionist (DRs) and Night Desk Receptionist (NDRs) maintain the front desks of our buildings.

It was a time when Chukchi forgot how to get whales. For a long period only whaling ships have shot whales. They have brought whales to the shore and people only butchered the monstrous carcasses. But the time came, and again Chukchi had to take a weapon in their hands and become a hunters.
The book is a part of a project I've worked for the last six years. It is about native people inhabiting the north-east of Russia – the South Kuril Islands, Kamchatka and Chukotka. I spent several months with the indigenous northern peoples – Chukchi, Evens, Eskimos – reindeer herdsmen, fishermen and sea mammal hunters. As a result the series of photographs "Lands at the Edge of the World" appears.

Past Experience Guides Nyquist & Strausbaugh In Preparing for Nationals
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Jacksonville University sand volleyball's No. 1 duo of Taylor Nyquist and Sammie Strausbaugh has been invited back by the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) to the third annual AVCA Collegiate Sand Volleyball National Championship, May 2-4 in Gulf Shores, Alabama.
The pair was invited for its second straight year to compete as one of the 'Best of the Rest' from schools that are not competing in team action. Nyquist, a senior, and Strausbaugh, a junior in sand volleyball, are in the company of duos from Long Beach State, the University of North Florida, Grand Canyon University, the University of Louisiana Monroe, Saint Mary's College of California, Loyola Marymount University, Tulane and UAB.
"It feels great to be invited back by the AVCA," Strausbaugh said. "I know they consider a lot of pairs from across the country so it's an honor being invited. This tournament is a once in a lifetime opportunity so being able to go twice now is just amazing and I will remember these moments for the rest of my life."
In 2013, the pair concluded National play with a 1-3 pool play record, highlighted by a three-set victory over UCLA to cap off their season 30-6. While this is a new season, they both explained that they can learn from last years' experience.
"The experience last year taught us a lot about the different styles of play that teams have," Nyquist said. "Many west coast teams get invited and they seem to train a little differently, but Sammie and I are focusing on our game and being the best players and team we can be."
"Even though we didn't do as well as we wanted to last year," Strausbaugh said, "we can use that experience to help us this year because we now know what to expect. The nerves are gone, we learned how to prepare better, we know the level of competition, and we know what our schedule will be like for the four days we are there."

Fiskars and Duck Tape are teaming up to make the world smarter and more colorful together.
It's so easy with the new Fiskars® Duck® Edition scissors!
Purchasing a premade recipe book is a quick and easy option for getting started. Or you can gather a few easy-to-find supplies and make a more personalized book yourself.
This little book was made from pieces of other books that I altered to fit my needs. I started with a bookcover kit that I found in a dollar bins at my local craft store. It included four canvas covered chipboard covers and two rings. The holes had been punched parallel to the scalloped edge, so the covers had a vertical format. I turned two of them 90 degrees, cut them to six inches wide (not including the scallops), and punched new holes using the Fiskars ¼ inch circle hand punch.
I wanted my recipe cards to be contained within plastic sleeves so I grabbed a package of four inch x six inch photo album pages that have the extra narrow pocket separating the photo pockets. I cut the two photo pockets from each page by running them through my LED SureCut Folding Rotary Paper Trimmer, cutting just above and just below the punched hole in the narrow strip, leaving them looking like the example in the top right of this photo. I then cut the pockets down to six inches wide so they looked like the example in the bottom right of the photo, taking care to cut off the end that had the hole punched in it.
To complete the pockets, I used the Fiskars ¼ inch circle hand punch to punch holes in the strip at the top of each pocket, aligning them with the holes I previously punched in the covers of the album. I used simple index cards as recipe cards, adding stamped images to dress them up a bit if desired. I used smaller cards and backed them with four inch x six inch pieces of patterned paper, although four inch x six inch index cards could also be used.
Decorating the cover was done quickly and easily by layering die cut shapes made using the Fiskars Fuse and dies, as well as a stamped image made using the Teresa Collins Recipe set.
I added a scrap of muslin, some wide ric-rac, and letter stickers to finish the cover.
Binding the book together with loose leaf paper rings makes this book easy to expand.
A special thank you to Echo Park for providing the patterned papers to complete this project.

For all of the Cuban dissidents and bloggers who have taken to the skies to exercise a right that we, in the free world, take for granted — the right to travel freely — there are other Cubans who still cannot do so.
Despite the so-called reforms, key figures in the dissident movement are arbitrarily being denied permission to go abroad and return home.
Among the most prominent is Dr. Oscar Biscet, a physician and respected human-rights activist since the late 1980s, who was released from prison two years ago after serving eight years of a 25-year sentence for "crimes against state security" —charges stemming from acts of free expression and assembly.
"The denial is like punishment," his wife, Elsa Morejón, told me.
She is visiting South Florida to see her son, who moved here 11 years ago, and her ailing 79-year-old father, Juan Morejón, a political prisoner during the 1960s and '70s, living here since he was freed in 1980.
Biscet wanted to accompany his wife, but although he has a valid passport, the Cuban government told him that if he left, he would not be allowed to return. A trip to Miami would mean he would have to leave the country for good.
"My father didn't want to die without seeing him," Morejón said.
By denying Biscet re-entry, which Cuba supposedly guaranteed under the travel reforms, the government in effect issued a denial. So Biscet stayed.
"Oscar says he is not leaving Cuba," Morejón said. "My husband has always been a man consistent in what he says and what he does. He has never agreed to any pact or settlement with the Castros and that's why he annoys them so much."
When I spoke to Morejón on Monday it was, coincidentally, the anniversary of Biscet's release from prison on March 11, 2011.
He was arrested in 2002 for arranging a gathering in Havana with other civic activists from Matanzas province, and when the police came to stop them, Biscet staged a peaceful sit-in at the house where they were meeting.
This is enough in Cuba to generate serious charges.
It was but his latest arrest and detention. He had been repeatedly incarcerated before for similar peaceful acts of defiance, like displaying a flag upside down as a symbol of distress.
His release in 2011 — which came at the same time as that of other political prisoners who were sent to exile in Spain under an agreement negotiated by Cuban Cardinal Jaime Ortega and the Spanish government — left Biscet, who refused to be exiled, in a parole-like situation.
"A prisoner at home," Morejón describes it. "It's the new peculiarity of the Cuban political prisoner."
Instead of a " carta de libertad," the document that grants a full release from his sentence, Biscet was given a " l icensia extra penal," which can be revoked at any time.
The same parole status was applied to the political prisoners from the group of 75 who went to prison in the "Black Spring" of 2003 and refused to be exiled to Spain. They also cannot freely travel and return like others.
Among those denied permission to travel are Angel Moya, husband of Ladies in White leader Berta Soler, who traveled to Spain last week under the new travel rules and has been accosted by pro-Cuban government mobs there; and José Daniel Ferrer, another dissident leader who actively tweets and posts videos online denouncing government abuses.
"The cardinal negotiated the terms [of their release from prison] and that is why it is this way," Morejón charges. "They have not been given their carta de libertad."
The new travel measures eliminated the exit permit requirement for traveling abroad, the so-called white card. But the government added language giving the state the right to withhold passports for people with pending legal cases and for undefined reasons of national security and public interest.
Biscet, an Amnesty International prisoner of conscience, has many pending invitations to travel abroad. He has been internationally recognized with the highest humanitarian honors by the governments of Hungary, the Czech Republic and the Unites States.
But then as now, Biscet has received nothing but rebuffs to travel requests.
For all that may appear to be evolving in Cuba, in reality little has changed when the government still manipulates the right to travel as a privilege to bestow — and a weapon with which to punish its citizens.

Political Blogs: Teaching Us Lessons About Community
In the mediascape of blogs, people 'want the news delivered to them in the context of their attitudes and beliefs.'
By Dan Kennedy

The rise of blogging as both a supplement and a challenge to traditional journalism has coincided with an explosion of opinion mongering. Blogs — and the role they play in how Americans consume and respond to information — are increasingly visible during our political season, when our ideological divide is most apparent. From nakedly partisan sites such as Daily Kos on the left and Little Green Footballs on the right, to more nuanced but nevertheless ideological enterprises such as Talking Points Memo, it sometimes seems there is no room in blogworld for straight, neutral journalism.
The usual reasons given for this are that reporting is difficult and expensive and that few bloggers know how to research a story, develop and interview sources, and assemble the pieces into a coherent, factual narrative. Far easier, so this line of thinking goes, for bloggers to sit in their pajamas and blast their semi-informed opinions out to the world.
There is some truth to this, although embracing this view wholeheartedly requires us to overlook the many journalists who are now writing blogs, as well as the many bloggers who are producing journalism to a greater or lesser degree. But we make a mistake when we look at the opinion-oriented nature of blogs and ask whether bloggers are capable of being "objective," to use a hoary and now all but meaningless word. The better question to ask is why opinion-oriented blogs are so popular — and what lessons the traditional media can learn from them without giving up their journalistic souls.
Perhaps what's happening is that the best and more popular blogs provide a sense of community that used to be the lifeblood of traditional news organizations and, especially, of newspapers. Recently I reread part of Jay Rosen's book, "What Are Journalists For?," his 1999 postmortem on the public journalism movement. What struck me was Rosen's description of public journalism's origins, which were grounded in an attempt to recreate a sense of community so that people might discover a reason to read newspapers. "Eventually I came to the conclusion … that journalism's purpose was to see the public into fuller existence," Rosen writes. "Informing people followed that."
Rosen's thesis — that journalism could only be revived by reawakening the civic impulse — is paralleled by Robert Putnam's 2000 book, "Bowling Alone," in which he found that people who sign petitions, attend public meetings, and participate in religious and social organizations are more likely to be newspaper readers than those who do not. "Newspaper readers are older, more educated, and more rooted in their communities than is the average American," Putnam writes.
Unfortunately for the newspaper business, the traditional idea of community, based mainly on geography, remains as moribund today as it was when Rosen and Putnam were analyzing its pathologies. But if old-fashioned communities are on the decline, the human impulse to form communities is not. And the Internet, as it turns out, is an ideal medium for fostering a new type of community in which people have never met, and may not even know each other's real names, but who share certain views and opinions about the way the world works. It's interesting that Rosen has become a leading exponent of journalism tied to these communities, both through his PressThink blog and through NewAssignment.net, which fosters collaborations between professional and citizen journalists.
Attitude First, Facts Second
This trend toward online community-building has given us a mediascape in which many people — especially those most interested in politics and public affairs — want the news delivered to them in the context of their attitudes and beliefs. That doesn't mean they want to be fed a diet of self-reinforcing agit-prop (although some do). It does mean they see their news consumption as something that takes place within their community, to be fit into a pre-existing framework of ideas that may be challenged but that must be acknowledged.
Earlier this year John Lloyd, a contributing editor for the Financial Times, talked about the decline of just-the-facts journalism on "Open Source," a Web-based radio program hosted by the veteran journalist Christopher Lydon. It has become increasingly difficult, Lloyd said, to report facts that are not tied to an ideological point of view. The emerging paradigm, he explained, may be "that you can only get facts through by attaching them to a very strong left-wing, right-wing, Christian, atheist position. Only then, only if you establish your bona fides within this particular community, will they be open to facts."
No less a blogging enthusiast than Markos Moulitsas, founder of Daily Kos, has observed that political blogs are a nonentity in Britain, where the newspapers themselves cater to a wide range of different opinions. "You look at the media in Britain, it's vibrant and it's exciting and it's fun, because they're all ideologically tinged," Moulitsas said at an appearance in Boston last fall. "And that's a good thing, because people buy them and understand that their viewpoints are going to be represented."
The notion that journalism must be tied to an ideological community may seem disheartening to traditionalists. In practice, though, journalism based on communities of shared interests and beliefs can be every bit as valuable as the old model of objectivity, if approached with rigor and respect for the truth.
Last year, for instance, Talking Points Memo (TPM) and its related blogs helped break the story of how the U.S. Department of Justice had fired eight U.S. attorneys for what appeared to be politically motivated reasons, a scandal that led to the resignation of Attorney General Alberto Gonzales. TPM's reporting was based in part on information dug up and passed along by its liberal readership. The founder and editor, Joshua Micah Marshall, received a George Polk Award, but it belonged as much to the community he had assembled as it did to him personally.
Of course, we still need neutral, non-opinionated journalism to help us make sense of the world around us. TPM's coverage of the U.S. attorneys scandal was outstanding, but it was also dismissive of arguments that it was much ado about nothing, or that previous administrations had done the same or worse. Liberals or conservatives who get all of their news from ideologically friendly sources don't have much incentive to change their minds.
Connecting to Communities of Shared Interests
Even news outlets that excel at traditional, "objective" journalism do so within the context of a community. Some might not find liberal bias in the news pages of The New York Times, as the paper's conservative critics would contend, but there's little doubt that the Times serves a community of well educated, affluent, culturally liberal readers whose preferences and tastes must be taken into account. Not to be a journalistic relativist, but all news needs to be evaluated within the context in which it was produced, even an old-fashioned, inverted-pyramid-style dispatch from the wires. Who was interviewed? Who wasn't? Why? These are questions that must be asked regardless of the source.
We might now be coming full circle as placeblogs — chatty, conversational blogs that serve a particular geographic community — become more prevalent. Lisa Williams, founder of H2otown, a blog that serves her community of Watertown, Massachusetts, believes that such forums could help foster the sense of community that is a necessary precondition to newspaper readership. Williams also runs a project called Placeblogger.com, which tracks local blogs around the world.
"The news creates a shared pool of stories that gives us a way to talk to people who aren't family or close friends or people who we will never meet — in short, our fellow citizens," Williams says by e-mail. "The truth is, people still want those neighbor-to-neighbor contacts, but the traditional ways of doing it don't fit into the lives that people are actually living today. Your core audience is tired, sitting on the couch with their laptop, and watching 'Lost' with one eye. Give them someone to sit with."
Critics of blogs have been looking at the wrong thing. While traditionalists disparage bloggers for their indulgence of opinion and hyperbole, they overlook the sense of community and conversation that blogs have fostered around the news. What bloggers do well, and what news organizations do poorly or not at all, is give their readers someone to sit with. News consumers — the public, citizens, us — still want the truth. But we also want to share it and talk about it with our like-minded neighbors and friends. The challenge for journalism is not that we'll lose our objectivity; it's that we won't find a way to rebuild a sense of community.

3/4 Sleeve Lace Jacket Dress with Tiered Skirt Style 1168W 8 9
Love this dress My husband & I have been asked to a black tie/military dress/formal wedding. I have been looking at dresses and said that I did not want to look frumpy. After trying this one on, I was sold. It fit great and was comfortable. It is not a frumpy dress, like some with jackets. The fit was even better than hoped. I am plus size and was worried that it wouldn't fit right. I'm normally size 26/28 and I was able to fit nicely in a size 24. April 22, 2013
Wonderful Dress It took a long time to find a dress that fits perfectly, comfortable and very flattering. This dress was worth the hunt. April 4, 2013

Chris Kluwe, the vocal former punter for the Minnesota Vikings, has retained a lawyer to represent him as the team investigates his allegations that coach Mike Priefer made homophobic comments.
In doing so, Kluwe iterated that he intends to "fully cooperate" with the team's inquiry, which he considers to be an honorable undertaking. Kluwe also added that retaining legal counsel should not be interpreted as a sign that any lawsuit will be filed.
"I want the truth to come out from the investigation, not in litigation," he clarified.
Clayton Halunen will co-counsel the case with the National Center for Lesbian Rights, a national advocacy group that is dedicated to eliminating bias against members of the LGBT community.
"Chris Kluwe stands up for what he believes is right – even if it costs him personally to do so," Halunen said.
The allegations came to light in an article Kluwe wrote on the website Deadspin, which has published several of his missives in the past. In the piece, Kluwe claimed he was ousted from his position by "two cowards and a bigot."
READ: Kluwe's article in full on Deadspin
ARCHIVE: Priefer 'vehemently denies' claims
ARCHIVE: Vikings hire former chief justice of MN Supreme Court
The article itself is a lightly edited account that Kluwe penned following the 2013 draft in April. In it, the punter who made headlines with his advocacy for marriage equality wrote that during his final season with the Minnesota Vikings, the special teams coordinator often ribbed him about his activism and ultimately berated him in front of his teammates.
Kluwe wrote that a turning point came during one such meeting in 2012 where Priefer allegedly said, "We should round up all the gays, send them to an island, and then nuke it until it glows."
"Things are getting better in professional sports for LGBT people," Kluwe said in a statement, "but the kind of situation I experienced is still all too common. We can do much better yet."
Kluwe contends that Priefer's remarks were intended to silence him, and he wrote that other team managers -- including former head coach Leslie Frazier and General Manager Rick Spielman -- also urged the outspoken player to "be quiet" and "fly under the radar."
"It's obvious to me -- as it should be to most thinking people familiar with the situation -- that Chris paid a steep price for speaking out in favor of same-sex marriage rights in 2012 when he was a Vikings player," Halunen said. "Ultimately, it may have cost him both his job with the Vikings and his career as an NFL player."
During his final season with the Vikings, Kluwe often spoke publicly against a proposed constitutional referendum in Minnesota that would have restricted marriage to heterosexual couples, and the New York Times labeled him "the most interesting man in the NFL."
"I can speak up because I can in my situation, knowing that others who are more vulnerable than me can't," Kluwe said.
The constitutional referendum Kluwe spoke out against failed when it went before the voters. Same-sex marriage is now legal in Minnesota.
In a statement, the Vikings denied allegations that Kluwe was released because of his activism, saying instead that the release was "strictly based on his football performance." In his last year with the team, he ranked 17th among punters in the 32-team NFL network.
After the Vikings released him in 2013, Kluwe tried out for the Oakland Raiders but was ultimately cut. In his article, Kluwe stated that he believes that his minimum veteran salary and his activism likely spelled the end of his career in the NFL.
"Even so, Chris is not bitter towards the Vikings, nor does he carry a personal vendetta against anyone associated with the team," Halunen stated. "He is grateful to the Vikings for the great career he had with the team, but he couldn't stand by when someone with as much influence in sports as a member of the Vikings coaching staff makes dangerous and dehumanizing statements."
In response to questions of why he chose to bring the allegations to light in the way he did, Kluwe said he hoped to ensure that Priefer would not coach in the NFL ever again. Meanwhile, Priefer has emphatically denied the allegations and released a statement saying he does not tolerate discrimination of any type.
The Vikings have responded by calling for a full investigation, saying they take the allegations seriously and plan to investigate Kluwe's claims. The team retained former Chief Justice of the Minnesota Supreme Court Eric Magnuson and former U.S. Department of Justice trial attorney Chris Madel to lead an independent investigation on Friday.

Problem Solving in the Math Classroom K-4
EDUC 792 or 600
Students in grades K–4 are faced with new, unfamiliar problems in school each day—many of them in math lessons. How do these students use their existing knowledge to make sense of new problems, and what strategies do they use to solve them? In this course, participants will learn what it means to do "math problem solving" activities and consider the benefits of integrating these types of problems into their elementary math instruction. Specific problem solving techniques—from "guess and check" to "create a model"—will be discussed. In addition to stretching and considering their own problem solving skills, participants will also analyze examples of students' work to learn about their mathematical thinking and the strategies they use when faced with unfamiliar math problems. Knowing how students are thinking about a problem is only one part of helping them to become better solvers of problems; learning to ask questions that challenge, clarify, and broaden their thinking is also essential. Participants will learn strategies for asking questions that promote problem solving skills and conduct a small group interview with students to practice these strategies. Participants will have the opportunity to apply what they have learned to their own classrooms, creating a lesson plan for integrating problem solving activities that they can use in their instruction.
As a result of participation in this course, students should:
- Identify what constitutes a "problem solving" approach to mathematics.
- Differentiate between problems that build problem solving skills and those that emphasize computation.
- Analyze the problem solving methods that students use when trying to solve unfamiliar math problems.
- Ask questions that promote a problem solving approach to instruction and help students become better problem solvers.
- Integrate tasks that promote problem solving into their daily instruction.

Ferrum, VA- The Salem College soccer team fell in overtime 1-0, in a road game at Ferrum tonight. The loss was the Spirits second overtime away loss of the season. Salem drops to 7-7, while Ferrum improves to 5-7-1.
"The game was pretty evenly played tonight," said Head Coach Jay Callahan. "They scored a goal that should not have happened, but Ferrum outplayed us tonight and deserved the win. We have had a problem with finishing in close games this year. This is our fifth loss by one goal that was scored either in overtime or in the last minutes of the half. We need to finish our chances, and not give up anymore unfortunate goals this weekend."
Salem will host Averett this Sunday at 2:00 for their final regular season game. The game will also be Kayla Stover's (Sturgeon Bay, WI) last game at Salem; she is the only senior and a three year captain.

In tonight's Healthier Me, new research reveals a link between epilepsy and migraine headaches.
A study of more than 700 epilepsy patients found that migraines were much more common among those who had close family members with seizure disorders. In fact, those who had three or more relatives with epilepsy were more than twice as likely to experience migraines.

In an effort to get as many games under the Lady BroncosŌĆÖ belts before the High Desert League softball matches start April 5, Broncos coach Stacy Van Nest contacted Burroughs to set up a game for last Friday.
The outcome was valuable experience but a 3-11 loss to the tough Ridgecrest team.
ŌĆ£We put the ball in play,ŌĆØ said Van Nest, ŌĆ£but just needed to string more hits together and be more solid on defense.ŌĆØ
The game went a full seven innings. Burroughs held Bishop to one run through five innings.
MurphyŌĆÖs Law could be applied to the Bishop BroncosŌĆÖ match-up with the Burroughs Burros Saturday. With the exception of a few moments of great Broncos baseball, everything that could go wrong ŌĆ" you know the rest.
Too many Broncos stranded on base, too many errors, too many walks, but coach Tim Reid found the silver lining in the 8-5 loss. ŌĆ£I was proud of the way the team battled,ŌĆØ said Reid. ŌĆ£We shouldnŌĆÖt have even been in the game,ŌĆØ he said in reference to the tough Burros, a team that had leveled Rosamond 20-4 in a pre-league game March 22.
After a 25-year absence, the Return of a Classic Event will make its debut in California City with the running of the California City Gran Prix, April 15-17.
This event was once a major attraction in the deserts of Southern California, but then it went away. The then promoter decided to retire and requirements surrounding the desert became even more difficult to meet.
in CIF All-Star Game
Christian Hernandez, representing the Bishop soccer team in the All-Star CIF senior game, scored the only goal for the Div. 6/7 squad as they took on the Div. 5 All Stars.
HernandezŌĆÖs finish was a beautifully placed header from the penalty spot over the keeper late in the first half. The Div. 5 team ended up winning 3-1 but Hernandez played well in his last game as a high school student.
Lemus, Tweedy
Named All-CIF
Big Pine Warrior Marissa Lemus and Lone Pine Golden Eagle Nicole Tweedy were named All-CIF in girls basketball in their respective divisions.
The Bishop High track teams got a split decision at their first dual meet at California City, March 10. The girls pulled off a decisive 61-33 win over 10 events. The Cal City RavensŌĆÖ boys team snuck past the Broncos, winning the meet 68-59.
The Lady Broncos recorded a win in each of their events.
The Broncos took firsts in the 400-meter, 300-meter and 100-meter hurdles, long jump and shot put.
4x100 Relay
1st: Michelle Case, Natalia Gonzalez, Katie Shipkey, Mandy Fuller, 56.12
4x400 Relay
1st: Dana Grevenkamp, Mandy Fuller, Katie Shipkey, Shelby Dolim, 4:56.0
1,600 Meters
BishopŌĆÖs snow sport teams came back from the state finals at Northstar with South Division II championship banners.
The California Nevada Interscholastic Ski and Snowboard Federation brought together 32 teams to the Lake Tahoe ski area, March 7-11.
Bishop was on top of league standings at the end of the four-meet season at Mammoth Mountain; the Division II championships were the icing on that cake.
Four Broncos snowboarders competed in the menŌĆÖs championship slalom and giant slalom races.
ŌĆ£Show Big Pine home is where the heart is,ŌĆØ Sherri Newman of JakeŌĆÖs Saloon said in a press release announcing its own benefit fundraiser for victims of the Center Fire. ŌĆ£The time is now to show our support at home. Bring it in, bring it big, bring it for Big Pine.ŌĆØ
Relief efforts for victims of the blaze continue to be organized, locally and throughout the state. There are fundraisers and clean-ups of all sorts planned for the days and weeks ahead.
With more high winds forecast this week, firefighters remain in Big Pine monitoring the burn area left by the Center Fire that destroyed 19 homes on Friday.
CalFire investigators are also on scene, assessing damages, the path of destruction and the blazeŌĆÖs point of origin near the Bernasconi Education Center as they determine a cause.
ŌĆ£The fire was called at 100 percent contained at 18:00 (6 p.m.) Sunday, but we still have resources on scene mopping up and looking for hot spots,ŌĆØ said CalFire Battalion Chief Mike Smith.
SheŌĆÖs been called dynamic, determined, gracious, fierce, compassionate, resourceful, even rebellious.
SheŌĆÖs been labeled a firebrand, a trailblazer, a pioneer, an activist, a do-gooder and a go-getter.
At heart, sheŌĆÖs a devoted wife, mother and grandmother, and by trade a retired laboratory technologist and politician.
In reality, Bishop resident Betty Denton is a woman who defies description; someone whoŌĆÖs spent a life pursuing myriad dreams and goals, helping others to achieve theirs, and affecting lasting change for the good of the community.
Danielle Naquin
Memorial services will be held at 3 p.m. April 9 at the First Presbyterian Church in Bishop for 20-year Bishop resident Danielle Naquin. The Rev. Peter Thomsen will officiate. Burial will be private.
Born May 12, 1944 in Electra, Texas to Geraldine and James Robeson, Danielle Naquin died March 19, 2011 at her home in Bishop. She was 66. Her stepfather was George Serjent.
God loved Danielle. He silenced her enemies and shut the mouths of devouring lions. She is with her lord.

If the radiation is strong enough, yes. And it's also true that the more exposure a woman has to radiation during pregnancy, the greater the risk to the baby. For these reasons, experts recommend that pregnant women avoid unnecessary X-rays.
If an X-ray is necessary, however, the amount of radiation the baby receives is normally well within the safe range (less than 5 rads, the unit of measurement for absorbed radiation).
The American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology recommends that women who are pregnant have medically necessary X-rays but that doctors consider other options when possible. So a pregnant woman might postpone her routine dental X-rays until after the baby arrives, for example, but she would be safe having her ankle X-rayed if she hurt it.
To minimize exposure to unnecessary X-rays, women should always alert doctors and dentists to the fact that they are – or even that they might be – pregnant.
Read more about X-rays during pregnancy.

At first glance you'd assume the only thing Matt Mulholland has mastered is Portal, but this Cousin Larry-looking everyman is actually quite the talented musician, one who has mastered the art of the YouTube a capella multitrack, and in doing so has developed quite the cult following.
Matt really came into his internet own with his tremendous Ghostbusters mutlitrack that I defy you not to appreciate. Before that he dabbled with comedy sketches and pop music covers, but dude must have realized toying with easily identifiable pop culture should be his wheelhouse because he's made it his bread and butter ever since. All his best stuff to follow, including: The Ghostbusters multitrack, "Big Willie Style" A Capella, "Harder Better Faster Stronger," and the just released (and already viral) Matrix Lobby Scene A Capella that made me forget about the The Matrix sequels and Speed Racer.
His YouTube channel is also chock full of d*ck joke vids and a recorder interpretation of "My Heart Will Go On," but I'll leave those up to you to check out.

Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) - It soon could cost 49 cents to mail a letter.
The postal Board of Governors said Wednesday it wants to raise the price of a first-class stamp by 3 cents, citing the agency's "precarious financial condition" and the uncertain prospects for postal overhaul legislation in Congress.
"Of the options currently available to the Postal Service to align costs and revenues, increasing postage prices is a last resort that reflects extreme financial challenges," board chairman Mickey Barnett wrote customers.
The rate proposal must be approved by the independent Postal Regulatory Commission. If the commission accepts it, the increase would become effective Jan. 26.
Oklahoma Senator Tom Coburn introduced a bill last month designed to allow the Post Office to cut costs. The bill has not been passed into law, and Sen. Coburn says Congress needs to take action to fix the postal service's continued financial problems.
"The Board of Governors is absolutely right to exercise its fiduciary responsibility to preserve the viability of the Postal Service absent Congressional action, but the issues facing Postal Service require a comprehensive long-term legislative solution," Coburn said in a statement to KTUL.com.
"I am hopeful both the House and Senate committees and the Administration continue to move forward in supporting bipartisan, commonsense reforms to make the Postal Service fiscally solvent."
Under federal law the post office cannot raise its prices more than the rate of inflation unless it gets approval from the commission. In seeking the increase, Barnett cited "extraordinary and exceptional circumstances which have contributed to continued financial losses" by the agency.
As part of the rate increase request, the cost for each additional ounce of first-class mail would increase a penny to 21 cents while the price of mailing a postcard would rise by a cent, to 34 cents. The cost to mail a letter to an international destination would jump 5 cents to $1.15.
Many consumers won't feel the increase immediately. Forever stamps bought before an increase still would cover first-class postage. The price of new forever stamps would be at the higher rate, if approved.
The Postal Service also said it would ask for adjustment to bulk mail and package rates in a filing with the commission Thursday. No details were immediately provided.
Media and marketing businesses say a big increase in rates could hurt them and lower postal volume and revenues.
The post office expects to lose $6 billion this year and is seeking help from Congress to fix its finances.
Barnett said the increase, if approved, would generate $2 billion annually in revenue for his agency.
The agency last raised postage rates on Jan. 27, including a penny increase in the cost of first-class mail to 46 cents.

Boston Bruins take the ice at TD Garden at 7PM, radio coverage on WBZ-FM/98.5, video stream on bostonbruins.com:
- Six players will NOT be on ice tonight, as the Bruins roster has been whittled down. [CausewayCrowd]
- One may be returning to the ice. Gregory Campbell has made strides, although Patrice Bergeron will likely sit again. Peter Chiarelli spoke at what he liked in Carl Soderberg 's game so far, and that Torey Krug, Matt Bartkowski, and Dougie Hamilton still have a foothold on the roster. [BostonHerald]
- So far, after two preseason tilts, here are three thoughts. [BruinsDaily]
- The answer to the third line? Not-Seventh-Player-Award-Worthy Daniel Paille. [TheFourthPeriod]
- So far: Reilly Smith appears to have the third line spot sewn up with Chris Kelly and Soderberg (all lefties,) Jordan Caron will likely be the thirteenth forward. Hamilton and Krug should have spots, with Bartkowski the seventh defenseman. Niklas Svedberg is making a fine case to be Tuukka Rask 's backup. [WEEI]
- Unlike his midseason insertion into the Penguins' lineup, Jarome Iginla has made a seamless fit with the Bruins for a number of reasons, and having a preseason to acclimate has made a big difference. [TheGlobeAndMail]
- Rask spoke warmly about his former goalie tandem partner Tim Thomas, and sees nothing but success for him in what he can bring to the Panthers. Campbell understands having to watch from the sideline, and concurs, citing Thomas' competitive nature. [ESPN]
- Don't count Chad Johnson out yet! Peter Chiarelli assures that he has seen him play better, and he is not alarmed about his performance in Montreal. Claude Julien agrees. [PatriotLedger]
- In fact, Johnson and Subban will be this evening's tandem in goal. Campbell will take the ice. Here's the posted roster for tonight. [NHL.Bruins]
- Matt Bartkowski has come a long way, and discusses his early career at Ohio State, being an American-born defenseman, and his draft experience. [USCHO]
Elsewhere around the rink:
- Let's go shopping with Cory Schneider! [YouTube]
- Well wishes to former Bruin Vladimir Sobotka, who suffered an "upper body" injury involving another player's elbow. [YardBarker]
- Must be preseason... Raffi Torres trots out the requisite annual "I've Changed My Game" dog and pony show. [MercuryNews]
- Get a load of these 'Jonathan Toews Is Not Impressed' art contest winners. [PuckDaddy]
