For most the rain ended mid morning allowing us to survey just how much rain we had received. Down by the Roanoke River, the water is not only higher than it has been in quite some time, but its also pretty muddy.
Here's a look at some other rainfall totals from around the area:
Irish Gap 7.72"
Jones Creek 5.59"
Roanoke 4.64"
Troutville 4.08"
Daleville 3.80"
Martinsville 3.64"
Shawsville 3.44"
Rocky Mount 3.97"
New Castle 3.12"
Galax 2.97"
Salem 2.96"
Fancy Gap 2.52"
Warm Springs 2.52"
Moneta 3.30"
Christiansburg 2.43"
Lynchburg 2.07"
Danville 1.56"
Buchanan 1.36"
Covington City Park 1.40"
Bland 1.28"
In many areas the rain we received was enough to make up for the rainfall deficits. In some areas we're even talking a rainfall surplus at this point.

A homeless mother who got sick in the frigid cold is spending one more night at the hospital before she is back on the streets trying to care for her children.
And she found out a common problem - homeless shelters are slammed and hard to get into.
Shonda Barnes was at risk to lose her children this week because she couldn't find them a place to stay.
"Now that it is complete wintertime now, all the shelters are full," Barnes said. "They said if I couldn't find no one, they would call DFS, and they would take them."
In the midst of a stressful search, she came down with pneumonia and has been at Research Medical Center for the past week while her children stayed with a family friend who stepped up to help.
Barnes fell on hard times when she recently moved back from California.
"I didn't get those resources that I was looking for, and I am a woman to admit, I make mistakes," she said.
The family was staying at City Union Mission, but they can only stay there a month at a time with a month off between visits. She was there just three weeks ago, but she is ready now to be released from the hospital.
"Until then, I have nowhere to go with the children," she said.
However, the City Union Mission made an exception because she was about five days out from her 30 days, and she was coming from the hospital.
She will move back in there with her children Tuesday until she can come up with a long-term plan.
"Hit this pavement, get out here and find a job," she said.
But Barnes said it was frustrating to see how few beds there are for women who don't have addictions but do need help.
"For mothers that are coming on hard times and end up in the situation, I'm in with having to go to shelters and things like that. (There) should be more resources," she said.
Barnes said she felt like she was being punished for not having a drug or alcohol addiction because she found more of those programs available.
She said she is grateful to Research Medical Center that let her stay there until she knew where she could go next.

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Maurice Jones-Drew will miss his third straight game, as he has been ruled out of Thursday's game against the Indianapolis Colts due to a foot injury.
During his Monday press conference, Jaguars head coach Mike Mularkey said Jones-Drew would not play against the Colts, but Mularkey said he didn't think the injury would cause Jones-Drew to miss the rest of the season. Jones-Drew suffered the injury on the first play of Jacksonville's game against Oakland in Week 7.
With Jones-Drew out, Rashad Jennings will once again start at running back for the Jaguars. Jennings started the last two games in place of Jones-Drew, rushing for 104 yards on 29 attempts. Jennings may be in line for a few more starts, as Mularkey said Jones-Drew was questionable for Week 11.
Despite missing the last two weeks and the majority of the game against Oakland, Jones-Drew remains the Jaguars' leading rusher for the season with 414 rushing yards.

Certified! Part 2: Petzl athlete Caroline George on Becoming an IFMGA GuideFri, 09/07/2010 - 21:51 — Petzl America -...
Note: This is a continuation of an earlier blog. To read Part 1 of Caroline George's blog post, click here.
Getting IFMGA-certified isn't all fun and games. For one thing, the process involves someone constantly assessing you, and that can be destabilizing. It's hard to have someone look over your shoulder all the time. Most examiners do a great job of pretending that it's just a regular day out and you're just doing your job guiding. Yet, when you're in the lead, a million thoughts go through your mind and you constantly second guess yourself, wondering if you're doing what the examiner wants you to do. Throughout the training, all candidates take turns being in the lead and role playing clients. I found it hard to treat my peers as clients, telling them what to do and how to climb or ski, all the while knowing that they didn't really need my guidance. Some of the courses last up to 12 days and you have to be on your game the whole time. You wake up and meet early, go for big days in the alpine, on rock or skiing, get fried by the sun or worked by the wind and cold, get back to an hour long debrief with the candidates and that day's examiner, plan for the next day, pack your bag, cook a meal and repeat. I find dealing with stress is harder to manage when I'm tired.

I am often asked if the process of getting certified is harder for women. There aren't many women with this certification throughout the world – just over 50, actually. During my last exam, Angela Hawse and I became the sixth and seventh women to achieve this status in the United States. Still, I never felt like being a woman made the process any harder, or that my examiners judged me on my sex. Since I am smaller, they would sometimes point out practical matters, like how with two clients on my rope I'd need to add more security due to the weight difference. Rightfully so; I think it's important to acknowledge the differences between men and women and guide accordingly.

This April, I flew to Alaska to take my Ski Guide Exam, my final one. Snow conditions were pretty bad since it rained very high up and Hatcher Pass -- one of our destinations -- only had half its normal snowpack. We encountered difficult skiing conditions (thick breakable crust), white-out navigation, rain, etc. Still, overall I felt pretty good about my exam, but you never know for sure. (It's scary to get so close to your dreams.) As a new rule, the AMGA no longer gives out results on the last day of the course or exam, so candidates have to wait two weeks to get their results online. Each day, I checked to see if my status had been updated. It always read, "Not Submitted Yet." Every time I clicked, my heart would start pounding, only to slow back down. After two weeks had passed, I revisited the site again and again, getting the same message each time. At 6 p.m., I clicked again, and there it was: "Passed." Six letters and my lifelong dream had come true.

The certification process has been the most rewarding achievement of my life. Yet, though this is an end in itself, it really is only the beginning to my career. And now, more than ever, I should remind myself of this adage: "Guide, the mountain doesn't know that you are a guide!"

After 16 days, the stalemate on Capitol Hill has ended with compromise legislation drafted in the U.S. Senate to end the government shutdown and fund the government through Jan. 15.
The legislation continues to fund Obamacare with slight additional income verification rules; it also increased the $16.7 million debt ceiling just one day before a deadline from the U.S. Treasury Department.
The Senate passed the bill, 81-18. Pennsylvania Senator Bob Casey voted yes; Pat Toomey voted no.
"I am grateful that the Senate was able to move forward with a bipartisan agreement to reopen the government and avoid default," said Casey. "Pennsylvanians deserve better than the irresponsible brinksmanship they saw over the last few weeks."
Toomey said he supported reopening the government, but he opposed raising the debt limit, according to PoliticsPA.
"I disagreed with the plan to make funding the government contingent on defunding Obamacare and I am glad this bill will get the shutdown behind us," he said, according to the political website. "But I cannot support piling hundreds of billions of dollars of debt on current and future generations of Americans without even a sliver of reform to start putting our fiscal house in order."
H.R. 2775, the Continuing Appropriations Act, 2014, passed in the house, 285-144; all Democrats approved the bill and Republicans opposed it 144 to 87, but nine of 13 Republican representatives voted yes, according to PoliticsPA.
Nine of 13 Pennsylvania representatives voted for the bill: area representatives include Charlie Dent (R-15), Mike Fitzpatrick (R-08), Jim Gerlach (R-06) and Pat Meehan (R-07). Lou Barletta (R-11), Mike Kelly (R-03), Tim Murphy (R-18), Bill Shuster (R-04) an GT Thompson (R-05) also voted for the bill.
"This legislation puts government back to work, sets reasonable deadlines for finding solutions that address Washington's spending-driven debt addiction and tightens the eligibility rules for Obamacare subsidies in an effort to save taxpayers as much as $250 million a year by preventing fraudulent and improper payments," said Gerlach in a statement. "At a time when far too many Americans continue to struggle to find work and make ends meet, this bill eliminates the serious risk of greater economic chaos."
Representatives Tom Marino (R-10), Scott Perry (R-04), Joe Pitts (R-16) and Keith Rothfus (R-12) voted against the bill.
"The lesson that should be learned is that elected officials in Washington, D.C. must come together and negotiate before the eleventh hour," said Rothfus. My hope is that my colleagues on both sides of the aisle are now ready to sit down and do the important work of the American people: address the deficit, find a better way on health care reform, and get the economy booming again."

text: Canon Camera Tips Quick Guide Through Canon Camera Symbols by POPSUGAR Tech 7/25/11 2 Reactions 99 Shares Print 45 10 42 2 0 If you are the proud owner of a Canon Rebel or Canon PowerShot camera, you might not remember the details of your instruction manual and need a refresher on what all those little symbols on the mode dial stand for. We'll run through the quick basics, so whether you are taking pictures of food, scenery, or your friends at a party, you'll have flawless shots. Canon's Mode Dial is comprised of two function zones: the creative zone and the basic zone. The creative zone features more manual settings and requires detailed knowledge of setting ISO, aperture, and shutter speed. The green rectangle represents the Full Auto setting and separates the two-function zone. The picture images are within the basic zone that includes a series of automatic image settings. So, here's a quick rundown of your dial's settings. Full Auto What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 All the necessary camera settings will be set automatically. The camera will automatically focus on the nearest subject, set the shutter speed and aperture depending on the lighting and activity, and pop up the built-in flash if necessary. Be sure to zoom on the object first, then press the shutter button halfway to achieve focus. 1 / 12 Portrait What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Try this mode if you want to blur the background setting to make the human subject stand out. The depth of field works better if the subject is standing farther from the background. Canon Rebel Tip: Try using a telephoto lens to make the background even blurrier. 2 / 12 Landscape What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Use this mode if you want to take a wide scenic view of nature or of night scenes. Canon Rebel Tip: Attach a wide-angle lens to emphasize the depth and width of the scenery. 3 / 12 Close-Up What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 For close-up shots of food, flowers, and details, spin the dial to the flower icon. Zoom in as much as you can while maintaining focus of the object. Canon Rebel Tip: A telephoto or zoom lens will increase magnification. The best close-ups are captured with a macro lens. 4 / 12 Sports What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 When you want to capture a fast-moving subject, especially during sporting events, try the sports mode. Center the subject on the frame, so the camera can focus on and track the subject while it moves. The camera will automatically start covering the subject on all seven focus points, so you can capture a clear shot. Canon Rebel Tip: A telephoto lens works best to clearly capture the moving subject. 6 / 12 Night Portrait What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Use this to capture subjects outside at night or just before sunset. The flash will pop up to light up the person's face, while the slow shutter speed setting will create a naturally lit background. Be sure to use landscape mode if you only want to shoot a landscape or night scene. Make sure the subject remains still when you take the picture. Canon Rebel Tip: Use a tripod to prevent the background from being blurry. 6 / 12 Flash Off What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Use if you want to capture an image with natural lighting. 7 / 12 (P) Program Auto Exposure What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 This is where things get tricky, and you might have to do more testing with these next "creative modes." Program Auto Exposure is similar to Full Auto mode. The camera will automatically calculate the shutter speed (how fast the camera takes a picture) and aperture value (how much light the camera lets in) depending on the subject's brightness. Unlike Auto-Focus, you have more control over the AF. AF modes are: One Shot or your subject is still, Al Servo or your subject is moving, and Al Focus or your subject is still but will move. You also have control of the meter, and you'll want to make sure it's centered for standard exposure. Another big feature is continuous shooting. In auto mode, you can only take one shot at a time, but with P, you can click away quickly. 8 / 12 (Tv) Shutter-Priority Auto Exposure What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 You can set the shutter speed (how fast the camera takes a picture), while the camera will automatically configure the aperture level (how much light the camera lets in). A faster shutter speed will capture movement as if it's frozen, while a slower shutter speed will blur the object or subject in motion. If the aperture number is blinking, you'll need to change the shutter speed until the aperture number stops blinking for correct exposure. For both cameras, use the dial to set the shutter speed. 9 / 12 (Av) Aperture-Priority Auto Exposure What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 You have control over the aperture, while the camera sets the shutter speed. A large aperture number will make the background clearer. A smaller aperture number will make the background blurrier (but will open the aperture to let more light in). Use a small aperture number for portrait, so the subject is brightly lit and focused on. If the shutter speed blinks, you need to change the aperture number until it stops blinking or try using a different ISO speed. 11 / 12 (M) Manual Exposure What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 This setting allows you the most control, and you can set your own shutter speed and aperture value using the dial. For Powershot camera, press the up button, choose shutter speed or aperture number, then turn the dial to set a value. For the Rebel, turn the dial to set the shutter speed, or hold down the Av button while turning the dial to set the aperture number. You can check the meter to make sure it's balanced, so your values will create a correct exposure. If the meter points toward the left (underexposed), choose a slower shutter speed or a smaller aperture number (which opens the aperture to let more light in). Or if the meter points toward the right (overexposed), choose a faster shutter speed or larger aperture number (will close the aperture to reduce the amount of light let into the camera). 11 / 12 (A-DEP) Automatic Depth-of-Field Auto Exposure What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Use this mode when taking portraits or close-ups of subjects, and you want the background to be blurred. If the aperture value blinks, it means you need to move further away from the subjects or for a Canon Rebel, try using a wide-angle lens. 12 / 12 45 10 42 2 0 Read More Canon CamerasCamera TipsCanon RebelCanon PowerShot Get a Personalized Living Newsletter!

When I first clinked into the rankings I was expecting to the Panthers in the bottom half if not the bottom 10. After all PFF ranked them #27 after last season. Instead they really surprised me with a huge jump into the top 10:
Stud: LT Jordan Gross (+33.5)
Gross just had one of the best years of his career. Certainly he can;t retire now right? As I heard him say recently this team has a chance to do even better next year so I'm hoping that keeps him around. Certainly Gettleman sees the same thing, even if Gross won't be cheap. We have to keep this guy.
Dud: RG Nate Chandler (-9.0)
As a converted DT this should not surprise anyone but the good news is Chandler improved as the season progressed. He could be a solid back-up in future seasons though he was a bit of a liability in 2013. Certainly RT Byron Bell isn't nuch better on this list.
Analysis: Right Side Needs Upgrading
Gee, where have we heard that before? All over CSR for the entire season! It's not just rhetoric now, we have solid data to back it up. My kingdom for a RT!
I'm still in shock that we were able to get such an overall reasonable performance when the right side was such a weakness. We need to give OL coach John Matsko and his assistant Ray Brown a round of applause here for doing a really good job over the course of the season. [clap][clap]
OL Coach John Matsko
Assistant OL Coach Ray Brown
I think we can all agree though an infusion of talent on the right side would still be very welcome so these guys don't have to work so hard next year.

Metallica – St. Anger Reviews
Never underestimate the regenerative powers of Metallica. Following the stripped-down Load and Re-Load, they've returned to the raw, vitriolic savagery of their earlier canon, using 1984's Ride the Lightning as a template for St. Anger. The title track provides the psychic lynchpin of the album by combining the bombast and defiance of the band's earliest high-water marks with more deliberate lyrics and emotional nakedness. Equally cathartic is "Some Kind of Monster," a lumbering be (more…)

Shane Breton: Breton escaped from a Department of Corrections work release camp nearly three weeks ago and is believed to be hiding out with his girlfriend in Charlotte County. Breton escaped from the correctional facility in Opa Locka shortly after midnight on July 30th. Detectives strongly believe Breton has returned to Port Charlotte, just days before his 25th birthday this Sunday. Breton has an extensive criminal history, including grand theft, multiple counts of burglary, trafficking in stolen property, grand theft and credit card fraud, which landed him in state prison for two years. Now, halfway into his sentence, Breton has bailed and potentially faces substantially more time behind bars upon his capture. Breton is likely in the company of Charlotte resident Angela Galeone, who just got out of prison this past May. Breton is 5'6", 170 pounds and has tattoos of a pentagram star on his chest and a plant limb with branches on his left arm.
Luis Jimenez: Collier County deputies need your help tracking down 47 year old Luis Jimenez, who failed to show back up in court after being arrested last fall for the attempted sexual battery of a girl between the ages of 12 and 17. The victim told detectives that Jimenez came into her room in the middle of the night and engaged in inappropriate acts. The girl came forward and Jimenez was given a polygraph test regarding the charges, which he failed. He was immediately arrested, then bonded out. He was supposed to show up in court to address those charges, but nine months later, he's still a no show. Jimenez was last known to be living in the North Naples area, and could be working under the table to area food service establishments.
Steven Lao: Steven Lao may only be 21 years old but he has already amassed a substantial criminal record both in Lee and Collier Counties. Although his current warrant is a probation violation out of Naples, Lao has a long rap sheet. When he was 17, Lao was arrested in Cape Coral for home invasion robbery and aggravated battery with a deadly weapon. Lao continued a life of crime with subsequent arrests for weapons charges, numerous burglaries and grand thefts, drug possession and weapons charges, among others. He may have ties to a local gang, and is likely floating back and forth between Lee and Collier Counties to avoid being arrested. Lao is 5'9", 185 pounds and has a tattoo of a spider web on his right elbow, a Cuban flag on his neck and the words Dirty South inked onto his hands.
Kyle McCartney: Fort Myers resident Kyle McCartney is on the run after violating probation following an arrest for a burglary in which he's accused of stealing 20 weapons – some of which are still out there on the streets. The 22 year old has several previous arrests to his credit, starting with felony cocaine charges when he was just 17. His current warrant stems from a burglary in which he and several co-conspirators used a claw hammer to break into a home, in the middle of the day, and stole a collection of weapons, electronics and jewelry while the owner was at work for the afternoon. McCartney was quickly identified and arrested for the crime, and some of the weapons were recovered. However, all of the homeowner's legally possessed military grade assault rifles are still unaccounted for – and potentially in the hands of criminals. Born and raised in Fort Myers, McCartney has strong ties to Lee County, but also has connections in Naples. He has several tattoos, including a marijuana leaf on his left shoulder and a tribal skull on his right. Upon his arrest, Kyle McCartney will be held without bond in the Lee County Jail.

Asana Column: Padmasana (Lotus Pose)
As you release the twist, turn to face forward between the two legs. If you were able to hold your right foot, continue to do so. Reach around with your left hand and cup the ball and toes of your left foot with the palm of your left hand. As you slowly bend forward from your hips, use your left hand to gently draw the toes of your left foot up toward the ceiling. This action will increase the rotation of your pelvis around your femur. Rest your head on the floor in front of you (or on a folded blanket if coming down all the way is too intense).
If you are unable to reach behind you to hold the foot of the Lotus leg in Bharadvajasana II, bring both hands forward onto the floor in front of you for support and bend forward as far as is comfortable. Bring your awareness deep into your hip sockets. Notice that the intensity of the sensation varies with the incoming and outgoing breath and the pauses in between. Use the moments where the sensation is less intense to soften and release any tension that arises in response to the asana.
Marichyasana II
Now place your hands on either side of your body. Lean onto the right hand as you release the left leg from Virasana and bring it into a deep squatting position. Your right buttock will remain on the floor. Draw your spine up out of your hips and extend forward as far as possible. The first time you attempt the pose you may feel very awkward. Persist. This asana is truly amazing for releasing the hips and providing a deep abdominal massage, even if all you can manage at first is to lean slightly forward. With time, you will be able to bend forward between the two legs, wrap the left arm around the outside of the left shin, and catch hold of the right hand behind your back. This movement places you in a very compact forward bend, with your right leg in a deep Lotus position and your left in a deep squat. (It's okay to let the left sit bone come slightly off the ground.)
The heel of the right foot will be pressed into the junction of the descending colon and the sigmoid colon on the left side of your abdomen. This area of the colon tends to become congested, so the deep pressure of your heel provides a very beneficial self-massage. Eventually, when you switch sides, your left heel will massage the area of the iliocecal valve (the junction of the small and large intestine) on the right side of your belly.
Ardha Padmasana
To transition into Half Lotus, bring your left leg forward, rotating the leg out. Bend your left leg, and place the foot underneath your right knee. Actively flex the left ankle. In this position you should be unable to see the sole of either foot. Maintaining this integrity through both ankles, lean slightly forward, resting your weight on your fingertips. You may find that a folded blanket under your hips helps you bend forward. Tip forward until you feel a strong opening sensation within your hip sockets. Stay here and breathe for at least a minute.
If your right knee was close to or touching your left foot in Ardha Padmasana, you are probably ready to make an attempt at full Padmasana. Here is a method of entering Padmasana, taught to me by Dona Holleman, that is much, much safer than the common strategy of pulling the second leg up into the pose. In Half Lotus, lean back until you are balanced on the back of your sitting bones, allowing the right leg to come off the floor. Now bring your left hand underneath your left lower leg and grasp the outside of the leg, and bring your right hand underneath the leg to clasp the outer ball of the left ankle joint. Slowly lift the left leg off the floor, allowing the leg to be completely relaxed. Instead of pulling this leg up and over the right leg, release the right knee and thigh down toward the floor. Breath by breath, allow the right leg to rotate further outward. When the right leg comes level to or lower than the left, you will be able to gently slip the left leg over the top of the right. Then you can rest both legs back down onto the floor. You may find additional blankets under your pelvis aid you in this movement. It's normal for the top knee in Padmasana to be slightly off the floor, but you should place a soft but firm support under the knee if it is more than an inch in the air.

Three people were seriously injured in a crash in Buckingham Sunday night, according to deputies.
It happened just after 9:30 p.m. on Cemetery Road, east of the Skates Circle intersection.
Deputies say an eastbound Infiniti was traveling at a high rate of speed and crossed into the westbound lanes, where it struck a Mercedes head-on.
Both drivers are in critical condition. The only other person involved, the passenger in the Infiniti, is in serious condition. No names have been released.
Deputies say criminal charges are pending against the driver of the Infiniti, and their investigation is continuing.

What's it take to lure in a manufacturer?
A little bit of everything, and that bodes well for West Virginia.
The West Virginia Development Office stays busy helping businesses within the state expand, but it also puts a lot of effort into attracting new businesses and marketing the state at about 25 different trade shows each year.
And bringing manufacturers to the state can be a delicate dance.
Mark Julian, director of business and industrial development with the WVDO, said the emerging industries in West Virginia include biometrics and biomedical technology, advanced energy and distribution, automotive, aerospace, business services, chemicals, plastics, information technology, printing, tourism, fabricated metals and value-added wood products.
Julian said building economic strength in all those sectors builds diversity in the economy.
West Virginia Manufacturers Association President Karen Price agreed that the attributes that keep the state a steady ship on tumultuous economic waters make the Mountain State attractive to manufacturers.
Things such as the balanced budget, a full rainy day fund and the fact that the state did not have to borrow money from the federal government for unemployment compensation are touted when courting manufacturers.
"All of these things are things companies look at, and we're in pretty good shape," Price said.
And part of bringing manufacturing to the Mountain State is looking far and wide.
Stephen Spence, director of the WVDO's international division, said the division markets West Virginia in Japan and Europe, focusing on key manufacturing sectors such as automotive, chemicals, polymers, aerospace and metalworking.
Spence said it's also important to continue to work with existing international manufacturers to encourage their growth. He said five Japanese manufacturers operating in West Virginia — Toyota, Nippon Thermostat, Wheeling-Nisshin, Hino Motors and NGK Spark Plugs — all announced expansion projects in 2012.
Julian said a big draw for businesses is the West Virginia work force.
"West Virginia's workers have earned a reputation for a strong work ethic, high productivity and low turnover," Julian said in a prepared statement.
Price also cited the state's privatization of workers' compensation and its abundant natural resources as good draws for manufacturers.
"And this Marcellus Shale natural gas discovery is huge," she said.
"I can't tell you how big it is. You are going to have manufacturers looking for locations in this state because of the downstream manufacturing opportunities that come with the Marcellus Shale."
Price said the development office does the heavy lifting of recruiting manufacturers, but the WVMA steps in if the office requests someone to talk with a business one-on-one or anything else the group could lend to negotiations.

At 4 p.m., poets Kazim Ali, Richard St. John and Dr. Philip Terman, professor of English at Clarion University, will read and discuss their poetry in relationship to their religious traditions (Islamic, Christian and Jewish), in terms of celebration, criticism and dialogue. At 7:30 p.m. the trio will give a literary reading.
Ali is a poet, essayist, fiction writer and translator. His books include several volumes of poetry, including: "Sky Ward," "The Far Mosque," "The Fortieth Day," and "Bright Felon: Autobiography and Cities." He has also written and published novels and books of essays. He is associate professor of creative writing and comparative literature at Oberlin College.
St. John's first book of poems, "The Pure Inconstancy of Grace," was published in 2005. His second book, "Each Perfected Name," is scheduled for publication in late 2014 or early 2015. His long poem, "Shrine," was released as a chapbook. In 2002, St. John completed a mid-career Loeb Fellowship at Harvard University. He is executive director of Squirrel Hill Urban Coalition.
Terman is author of four collections of poetry, including "The Torah Garden" and "Rabbis of the Air." His work appears in numerous journals, including Poetry, The Kenyon Review, The Georgia Review and The Sun Magazine. His "New and Selected Poems" will be published in 2014. Terman directs Clarion's Spoken Arts Reading Series and is co-director of Chautauqua Writers' Festival.
The Mary L. Seifert Cultural Series Endowment of the Clarion University Foundation, Inc., was established to provide the Clarion University community with the cultural experiences that inspire learning through thoughtful discussions.
The event is co-sponsored by the Mary L. Seifert Cultural Series, the Martin Luther King Committee and the Spoken Arts Reading Series.

I loved that when there was a tour in port, a Silver Cloud staff would go with us. I just felt very cared for, all of the time. It was a seamless trip. I booked through a Silversea agent (thank you, Esther!); from the moment I booked, all I had to do was pack and show up at the airport.........I was met at the airport and taken directly to the ship, perfect! Boarding, no problem. Debarking, no problem! There were no lines anywhere...........well, perhaps the night of the "Gala Barbeque Under the Stars".........it's quite obvious the staff on Silver Cloud have their Master Degrees in personal service!
I loved having a butler! Patrice was a gentleman to the core. I know he serviced other suites, but he certainly was there when I rang for anything. I did dine in my suite one evening and requested the entree be brought 30 minutes after the appetizer. Done!
I took this cruise as a solo traveler. Never did I feel alone, everyone was very friendly. It did help to meet people by taking a shore excursion (I took two snorkel trips).
The entertainers on board were great. The shows were a perfect length. THE most fun was the night they did "At the Hop" on the pool deck. Oh, my. Everyone was up and dancing to the oldies!
If I were to critique anything, it would be that the food wasn't 100% spot-on. I consider myself a discerning traveler and recognize that it isn't easy to please a ship load of diverse people.

NEW ORLEANS ― Roman Harper nudged ever so slightly to the edge of the line before exploding into the backfield on a blitz.
Brett Favre, the harried Vikings quarterback, quickly got rid of the ball, but Saints linebacker Jonathan Vilma intercepted it.
The late second quarter blitz was New Orleans' first exotic defensive play call of the game. While it wouldn't be the last, the Saints everyone remembers pounding Favre in the NFC championship game was nowhere to be seen.
It didn't need to be.
The Saints held the Vikings to 253 total yards and allowed only one touchdown as they held on for a 14-9 win in both teams' season opener.
"I just felt like as the game evolved and progressed, we didn't feel like we needed to get exotic," Saints linebacker Scott Shanle said. "We were playing them very well straight up. There was no need on our part to go beyond what we do normally."
The second half was impressive. New Orleans held Minnesota to 65 total yards, two first downs and gave up only 1 of 6 third-down conversions.
"No matter how vanilla it may seem, it was the best call for what they were doing that put us in the best situation to make plays," cornerback Jabari Greer said.
Favre finished the night 15 of 27 for 171 yards with a touchdown and an interception. His final rating was 71.7.
New Orleans forced seven punts by Minnesota and three three-and-outs in the second half.

Lots of Dodger and Giant fans are all fired up and ready to go to Friday's opening day at Dodger Stadium. After all, it's the beginning at baseball season here with a Dodger team that sounds pretty powerful.
At the same time a new report surfaced from Major League Baseball about the environment at the stadium at the time of the Brian Stowe assault back in 2011. The report suggests "There was a culture of apathy and indifference" among dodger game-day staffers. And, there were other issues questioning whether the stadium had the best security. At Bling Circus, a sports apparel store about 4 miles from Dodger Stadium, some fans said there was some truth from the report from what they say. But, for others, when you have a mix of passion and alcohol, anything can happen.
The Stowe family, which is suing then-owner Frank McCourt, wants to depose the author of that new MLB assessment report. They believe it will help their case.

Kimbrell, who ran unopposed for Council Seat 4, cited health reasons for his sudden resignation. The council, consisting of four new members, was sworn in on Nov. 5, 2012, and has met twice since then for their regular November and December meetings.
In the most recent Oakman municipal election, four of the council seats were unopposed. Only one race, for Seat 5, had a contest between Sarah Woods, the eventual winner, and Myra Heron.
The council must now vote on accepting the resignation, although Welch said that process was just a formality. The council will then declare the seat open and can vote to appoint someone to the seat.
"We have to accept the resignation at this meeting and we can fill it at the February meeting," Welch said.
Welch said that some people had already expressed interest in serving the city in that capacity, but the decision for who to appoint would ultimately be up to the vote of the city council.
Kimbrell could not be reached late Thursday for comment.

New Hampshire fish and game officials say a Connecticut man has died in a snowmobile accident in the woods in Errol.
Rescuers were called at 2 a.m. Saturday to the scene, on 13 Mile Woods trail about two miles north of Millsfield Pond Road.
The victim is identified as 56-year-old Louis Voegeli Jr. of Woodbury Conn. Voegeli was last in line in a group of four snowmobilers traveling south. He failed to negotiate a left turn and hit a tree.
The cause of the crash is under investigation, but officials say alcohol does not appear to be a factor.

Classical painting of the
ancient kingdom of Shambhala.
Shambhala is governed as a mandala. A mandala is normally depicted as a series of concentric circles radiating around a central square. The square in the middle is the palace or court, housing the central figure. The outer circles are the realms in which that core energy of the mandala manifests.
Shambhala is governed in accordance with this principle. The central square is the Kalapa Court. Within that is the lineage of Sakyongs, holding the royal lineage of Shambhala. The radiating circles constitute the Shambhala community. The whole mandala is the Kingdom of Shambhala.
The mandala can also be understood as a fluid structure of communication and relationships. The relationship between court and kingdom is an interplay between natural hierarchy and community participation. The power of the Shambhala teachings radiate from lineage holder at the centre throughout the community. At the same time the community has multiple channels of communication inwards to the central leadership of the mandala.
The Kalapa Court
The Sakyong and Sakyong Wangmo
Kalapa was the name of the original capital of Shambhala. Situated at the centre of the city (and depicted in all the classical paintings of the kingdom) was the Kalapa Court. The Kalapa court was -- and is -- the point from which the central energy of the mandala emanates. The Kalapa Court is the seat of the Sakyong (which literally means "earth protector") and his spouse, the Sakyong Wangmo. The Sakyong is the spiritual and temporal head of the Shambhala Mandala. The energy generated within the Court radiates outwards through the teachings, culture, and structure of the mandala.
Click to meet the Sakyong and the Sakyong Wangmo.
The Kalapa Council
The Kalapa Council is the highest governing body of the mandala, including overall legal and financial responsibility for the mandala.
The members of the Council work together to share requests from the Sakyong, to discuss major proposals affecting the whole of the mandala, and develop an integrated approach which can be taken forward for further discussion and implementation by each of the main structures that govern the mandala, known as "the three pillars". In this way the Council works to ensure increased integration in the governance of the mandala.
The Council acts as the Board of Directors of the mandala. It holds and exercises the highest level of legal authority within the Shambhala Mandala.
To read the regular updates of the Kalapa Council on the activities of the mandala, please click here.
The Kalapa Executive
The Sakyong has established the Kalapa Executive to serve as a senior executive arm of the Kalapa Council to direct and integrate the core activities and services of the Shambhala Mandala. The members of the Kalapa Executive are the highest executive officers of the mandala. They report to the Executive Director, who is responsible to the Chair of the Kalapa Council, the President of Shambhala. They have the authority to act on behalf of the Kalapa Council in the fulfilment of their responsibilities and to ensure that the view and wishes of the Sakyong, and the policies and procedures of the governing bodies of Shambhala, are respected and implemented throughout the mandala.
The Mandala Council
As a global body, the Mandala Council
frequently meets online to
sustain communication among
its wordwide members.
The Mandala Council consists of the Directors of all Shambhala Centres, and groups plus the representatives of other major entities in the mandala. It includes the members of the Kalapa Council. It is chaired by the President, assisted by two or more Vice-chairs, appointed by the President.
The Mandala Council is the principle consultative body that brings together members of the Kalapa Council, the Kalapa Executive and the leaders of the Shambhala Centres and major entities of the mandala. The Council meets regularly online. The meetings include briefings on forthcoming initiatives, consultation on planning for major international events and sharing of experience among the centre leaders themselves. These calls also provide opportunities for local leaders to share their own communities' insights and suggestions with the centre of the mandala.
The Shambhala Congress
The Shambhala Congress is the largest forum of the global kingdom of Shambhala. It is the principal mandala-wide gathering for discussion and consultation on matters of concern to the community a whole.
The Congress enables participants to present the outcome of prior community meetings held at centres on the Congress topics or theme. It provides the space for direct exchange between the participants and the Sakyong, President, Kalapa Council and other leaders of the mandala. The views expressed by the participants and recommendations made in the course of the congress form part of the decision-making by the Kalapa Council.

About Salt Lake Bees:
The year was 1915 and the Salt Lake Bees were born into the Pacific Coast League (PCL). The Sacramento Sacts were struggling at the gate in 1914 and on September 6, the team folded. The PCL took over the team and relocated them to San Francisco and renamed the club the Mission Wolves. Shortly after that lone season, the team was moved to the Beehive State and named the Salt Lake Bees.
In their first season under manager Cliff Blankenship, the Bees finished second with a 108-89 record. The team would operate through the 1925 season, a year that shortstop Tony Lazzeri hit a PCL record 60 home runs. The 60th came on October 9, the final day of the season, and it was an inside-the-park roundtripper.
In 1926, the team moved to Los Angeles and became known as the Hollywood Stars. With the team's departure for Southern California, Salt Lake City went 23 years before the PCL returned in 1958. Larry Shepard managed the team to a 77-77 record before leading them to Salt Lake's first PCL title in 1959, as the Bees finished the season with a one and one-half game lead over Vancouver. In 1961, the Bees were led by future San Francisco Giants and Chicago Cubs manager Herman Franks and in 1962 another future big league skipper Bob Kennedy would be at the helm.
Beginning in 1963, the Bees gained their first full affiliation with a major league club, as the team spent the next three years under the wings of the Chicago Cubs. The team would withdraw from the PCL after the 1965 season, but the Vancouver club would re-locate to Salt Lake City in 1970. The Bees, under an affiliation with the second-year San Diego Padres, would be led by yet another future big league manager in Don Zimmer. Despite his future success, Zimmer's club finished with a Salt Lake PCL worst record of 44-99, 52.5 games behind first place Hawaii in the Southern Division.
In 1971, the team changed its name and affiliation, as they became known as the Salt Lake Angels. In that first season with California, the Salt Lake Angels won the PCL title, the second in the city's history. Manager Del Rice led the team to the Southern Division crown and then took the title by sweeping Tacoma three games to none. The team was renamed the Gulls in 1975 and would provide more excitement by reaching the league finals in 1975 and 1976, but in each of those seasons, they would lose the title series to Hawaii. Finally, in 1979 under the tutelage of future major league manager Jimy Williams, the Gulls got by their nemesis and swept the Islanders 3-0 to win the third and last PCL championship in Salt Lake City.
In 1982, the Gulls became affiliated with the Seattle Mariners and while they won the first half Northern Division title that year and the second half crown in the division in 1984, the team struggled financially and after the '84 season, the team was sold and moved to Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
Salt Lake City was without Pacific Coast League baseball until 1994, when owner Joe Buzas moved the Portland Beavers franchise to the Beehive State and named the team the Salt Lake Buzz. As the Triple-A affiliate of the Minnesota Twins, the Buzz would enjoy a winning record in each of their seven seasons with trips to the postseason in five of those years. Unfortunately, the Buzz would be heartbroken with a pair of walk-off hits that would end their trips to the PCL finals. In 1995, Salt Lake had a one-run lead with one out and nobody on base in the bottom of the ninth of the fifth and deciding game at Colorado Springs, but the team never recorded the third out, as Jim Tatum's bloop single to left off Dan Naulty gave the Sky Sox the championship.
In 2000, the Buzz were down two games to one, but rallied to tie Memphis with three runs in the top of the ninth inning. The game would, however, end in the Redbirds favor on a 13th inning solo homer by future National League Rookie of the Year, Albert Pujols.
In 2001, the team would change its name and affiliation once again. The team would be known as the Stingers and would reunite with the Angels. That led to another trip to the league finals in 2002, but they would be defeated three games to one by the Edmonton Trappers. The Stingers struggled through 2003 and 2004 and in 2005, Larry H. Miller purchased the Stingers. Under first year manager Dino Ebel, the team finished 79-65, just one game behind Tacoma in the Northern Division race. In October, the Stingers changed their name back to the original Salt Lake Bees.
Under manager Brian Harper in 2006 and 2007, the Bees enjoyed back-to-back PCL Pacific North Division titles, yet in both years the team lost in the Pacific Coast Conference Championship series.
Former World Champion Los Angeles Dodger Bobby Mitchell joined the Bees as manager in 2008. Beginning the season with a minor league best 21-1 start, Salt Lake once again captured the Pacific North Division title, but fell for the third consecutive time in the Pacific Conference Championship series.
The franchise owns a 22-30 playoff record and a 4-11 playoff series record.
Overall, Salt Lake teams have a 3840-3707 record in the Pacific Coast League. Only Portland (15,555) and Sacramento (10,421) have seen their city's PCL teams play more games than the 7,547 games that Salt Lake City's teams have played. - slbees.com

Marking the 80th anniversary of Adolf Hitler's ascent to power, Berlin is hosting a series of exhibitions, lectures, art installations and events examining the Nazi period in German history.
A new exhibit, "Berlin 1933 - Road to dictatorship," opened at the Topography of Terror documentation center this week.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel presided over the opening ceremony alongside Berlin's mayor Klaus Wowereit.
Merkel spoke about the need for society to fight against the state of complacent tolerance that allowed for the rise of Nazi Germany.
The center housing the exhibit is already one of Berlin's most visited memorial sites -- the now-razed buildings on the site served as the headquarters for the Secret State Police, and were the central institutions for the Nazi reign of terror from 1933 to 1945.
Also this week, the German Historical Museum kicked off a new exhibition in conjunction with the City of Berlin.
The museum installed pop-up columns -- "urban memorials" -- at historical sites throughout the city, featuring giant portraits, biographies, timelines and background information on 1930s and '40s Berlin.
Called "Diversity Destroyed, Berlin 1933, 1938, 1945," it runs until November 10, 2013. The closing date was chosen for its historical significance: on November 9-10, 1938, known as "The Night of Broken Glass," organized violence against Jews broke out across the Reich.
Topography of Terror; January 30-November 9; Niederkirchnerstraße 8 10963 Berlin; +49 30 254509 50; 10 a.m.–8 p.m. daily; www.topographie.de

Jason Smith is already set to spend the rest of his life behind bars after a murder conviction.
He was also facing a second trail for second degree murder in the killing and burning of a man, until the State Attorney's Office changed their mind and decided to go for the death penalty.
"The number of hours usually triple, probably quadruple, and the expense goes anywhere from about $10,000 for a more simplistic case to somewhere in the vicinity, close to $100,000 on some of these cases," said Hillsborough County Public Defender Julianne Holt.
"Most death penalty cases require the hiring of experts. You have to give the jury that is looking at this case an idea of who your client is," said Holt.
News Channel 8 reached out to State Attorney Mark Ober's office to find out why and how they decided to try for the death penalty against Smith. They declined to comment.
"We all know that practically speaking everything has a price tag, everything cost. But from the law perspective, from society's prospective when I think about what justice means, it shouldn't have a price tag," said Stetson University professor Charles Rose.
"You could put someone in prison for multiple lifetimes and never spend the amount of money that it takes to put them to death once," said Rose.
The website deathpenaltyinfo.org estimates the state of Florida spends $51 million additional dollars each year to handle death penalty cases.
Holt said it adds more work to her underfunded office. Public defenders' offices across the state will take part in a study starting this summer where they will track how they spend each minute of their day in hopes of getting more funding.
"We will be operating our office the same way as if we were in private practice tracking the time that we spend on cases," said Holt.

Throw an UP
Adventure Party
Planning a kids' birthday party is certainly an adventure, so why not make the most of it with a birthday celebration inspired by the Disney-Pixar film, UP? All you need is a colorful cake, dazzling decorations, and some easy-to-plan adventurous activities for your guests.
The Cake
UP Cakes: UP's most iconic image, Carl Frederickson's house being held aloft by hundreds of balloons, is easier to recreate than you think. The balloons are merely brightly frosted cupcakes, attached by ribbons to a paper replica of Carl's house.
UP Party Invitations
If your child is handing out invitations at school, a fun way to deliver the information is via egg, like the colorful eggs guarded by Kevin, the brightly feathered and highly elusive bird of UP's mysterious land. Get a bunch of plastic Easter eggs (orientaltrading.com sells them affordably and year-round) and tuck a note with the party details inside. Try a message like, "Adventure is… right here," then add all your party details.
UP Party Decorations
This is easier than you think, and you have a few options. Helium balloons in a variety of colors can adorn your yard or living room, and, as a table centerpiece, why not try a vase of brightly colored feathers, much like the plumage of Kevin, the exotic and elusive bird? Build 3D paper Carl and Russell characters as honorary party guests.
UP Party Craft
Wilderness Explorer Sashes: Before the party, cut strips of yellow construction paper or felt long enough to fit across your partygoers' chests. Also cut out badge-sized circles of white paper. Provide markers, stickers, glitter, and even magazines to cut up (for older kids), and let each guest create his or her own Wilderness Explorer sash, like Russell's. If kids are having trouble thinking of badge ideas, suggest a few birthday party-related ones, like Cake Eating, Gift Giving, Game Playing, and so on. If you like, award a prize to the most creative badge.
More UP Party Activities
Squirrel!: UP's excitable dogs loved a good squirrel sighting. Your young guests will have fun passing a stuffed squirrel toy while music from the motion picture plays. Every few seconds, call out "Squirrel!" and the guest holding the toy will be out. Make frequent stops so players don't have to sit out for too long.
Pin the Balloon on the House: On a large piece of cardboard, draw a simple house, and above it, draw and color in a few dozen balloons, leaving a gap in the bunch of balloons for a missing one. Blindfold players in turn and have them try to pin a balloon into the empty space, with a prize award to whomever comes closest.
Wilderness Explorer Scavenger Hunt: To play, collect a number of UP-related items: a grape soda bottle cap, a tennis ball like the ones on the feet of Carl's walker, a dog collar, uninflated balloons (only if kids are old enough, of course). Hide the items around the house or yard and then, working backwards, write clues to where the items are hidden. Depending on the number of guests you're inviting, you may want to hide two identical sets of items around the party space and let two teams race to find all the items.
UP Party Favors
UP Adventure Book: Send all your guests home with their very own adventure book, just like the one Carl and Ellie share in the movie.

Divorce Attorneys, Your Ally During Divorce
What Questions Will a Divorce Attorney Ask Me?
This article will help you prepare for any questions your new divorce attorney has or information they will need.
8 Documents Your Divorce Attorney Will Need
To make the process easier for you and your attorney get these documents together and have them ready to provide to your attorney at his/her request.
How Do I Fire My Divorce Attorney?
If you are unhappy with your divorce attorney you will need to take the proper steps when firing him/her.
Do I Need a Divorce Attorney?
Do I need a divorce attorney is a question I hear often and I always attempt to impress on people the importance of retaining a divorce attorney to protect your legal rights during the divorce process. I know however that there are circumstances that make it impossible to hire a divorce attorney.
A Comprehensive Look at Divorce Lawyers
Youve made the decision to divorce; now you have to wade through all the ads for divorce lawyers in the yellow pages and decide which one is right for you.
Documents Your Divorce Attorney Will Need
Is Your Divorce Attorney Helping or Hindering the Process?
Some divorce attorneys learn that the best way to protect their client is to fight for them and not in a way that promotes an end to conflict. When they look at a divorce situation all they can see is the conflict that is involved between the spouses.
Keep Divorce Attorney Fees to a Minimum
Divorce attorneys are a necessary part of divorce. Necessary doesn't mean you can't keep the expense at a minimum.
Save Money With a Flat Fee Divorce Attorney
Instead of hiring a divorce attorney who charges a retainer fee and high hourly rates, hire one who will take care of the divorce process, from beginning to end for one flat fee.
The Collaborative Attorney, An Alternative To Litigation
The Collaborative Attorney is an advisor about legal issues of course. A Collaborative Attorney and his/her client clearly understand and agree that if the case is unsuccessful in the Collaborative model that the attorney will not represent his/her client in a litigated divorce.
What is My Lawyer's Role if I Decide on a Collaborative Divorce?
The collaborative divorce lawyer acts as a resource, an educator, and an advocate for his/her client.

Croxley Green boy, Markus Gower, impress US Grammy nominated singer
Updated 10:47am Friday 21st February 2014 in News By Adam Binnie, Web content editor
A song recorded by an eight-year-old boy from Croxley Green has been used as the walk-on music of a Grammy nominated singer.
Markus Gower, from Baldwins Lane, recorded the Chris Trapper cover after seeing him at a gig last year.
The American artist began his career as the front man of rock band The Push Stars. He is most well known for his Grammy nominated song "This Time", featured in the Robin Williams film "August Rush".
His music has also featured in several other films, including "There's Something About Mary", "The Devil Wears Prada" and "Say It Isn't So".
Markus and his father James met Chris Trapper in the foyer of the gig, where he was selling CDs and merchandise.
James Gower said Markus particularly liked the song "Not Normal" and would often sing along to it.
He added: "He really enjoyed the song and was always singing along to it. My friend has a studio so we decided to go over and record him.
"We're keen to encourage anything that builds his confidence. From the age of two or three he has been interested in sensing, even before he could talk properly. He knew all the lyrics to the Thomas the Tank Engine songs."
During November 2013 Chris Trapper was back in the UK promoting his new CD "Technicolor" and at a concert in the Lowry Theatre, Salford, Markus gave Chris a copy of his recording.
James said: "A few days later we got a short email from Chris saying he enjoyed Markus's interpretation of the song.
"Then we got another email asking us to send a master copy over for Chris to use as his walk on music on his current American tour."
After the show a fan contacted the musician via his Facebook page and asked if the song had been performed by his own son.
Mr Trapper replied: "No that was a kid from England who sent me his interpretation of the song, and I love it."
Since then, Markus has recorded a final version of the song, and a video, and uploaded it to YouTube.
