GOSHEN — Could it happen here?
That's the question local emergency officials ask themselves often about violent events occurring nationwide, and then they train to prevent and respond to such situations.
On the eve of the opening of the Elkhart County 4-H Fair, a massive event that draws upwards of 300,000 people during its run, safety at the fairgrounds is a top concern.
"People need to know how well they (emergency personnel) work together in the county..." said Elkhart County Undersheriff Sean Holmes. "They are always working to keep the place safe."
Holmes and Phil Wogoman, a fair board member who oversees security and safety at the fair, are aware of last week's arrests at the LaPorte County fair. In that incident three teenage boys were arrested after police found a "sparkler bomb" in a backpack one of them was carrying. According to LaPorte County Prosecutor Bob Szilagyi, the teens wanted to set off the device near a carnival ride to startle onlookers. Instead, someone reportedly overheard them talking about the plot and called 911. Police responded quickly and made the arrests.
Wogoman and Holmes said they can't reveal specific security operations at the Elkhart County fairgrounds. But Holmes said the preparations and law enforcement presence are always significant.
"We have a huge event and security of the people is the first thing I'm concerned about," Wogoman said. "I think we are doing everything possible. We have great assets from the sheriff's department and all our own security there. But you never know when you will have a weirdo wanting to do something."
One of those assets at the fairgrounds will be the county's emergency command vehicle. Holmes said 911 dispatchers from across the region volunteer to man it during the nine days of the fair. The vehicle contains communication equipment that allows dispatchers to talk to police, fire and ambulance personnel on the fairgrounds as well as the private security personnel at the fairgrounds.
In addition, Holmes said most county law enforcement agencies, plus the State Police, send officers daily to the fair.
On a mission
"Our officers are not just out there wandering around," Holmes said.
Officers are assigned specific security tasks in designated areas of the fairgrounds. While officers may appear to be mingling with the crowd, they are constantly looking for specific threatening situations, according to Holmes.
"We take a lot of time to train our guys and brief them before they go out there because it is such a large event," he said. Two such briefings have already been held.
The LaPorte teens are accused of hiding their home-made device in a backpack. Backpacks will still be allowed at the Elkhart County 4-H Fair.
"We are not going to get to the point of checking backpacks. But our gatekeepers keep an eye out for strange things," Wogoman said.
Holmes said there are few people who use backpacks at the fair, so they are easy to spot. Most of the users are mothers with toddlers who need to carry extra child-care items, according to Holmes.
Since the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, police and fire departments have undergone extensive training on coordinating their efforts at preventing and responding to threats, according to Holmes. That training has resulted in emergency response plans being in place locally.
"If there is something we have to do, we already know who is taking over command," he said.
As far as the LaPorte fair's incident having an impact on the Elkhart County fair, Holmes said, "All it does is reaffirm what we are planning anyway."
After the ceremonial ribbon cutting Friday morning, security will be in place and ready for the tens of thousands of people who will stroll the fairgrounds during the first weekend's events. And that public response is something Wogoman, who is in his 25th year of serving on the fair board, is looking forward to.
"It's still pretty much the same old thing," Wogoman said. "It is a fun time. I love being out there and seeing all the people. There are friends I don't see until they show up at the fair every year... It's a good time."

NEW YORK (AP) — The boys of "Newsies" now have one more thing to dance about — they've made their money back.
Disney Theatrical Productions said Thursday that the musical recouped its $5 million investment in just over nine months — faster than any other Disney stage property.
The musical and film it is adapted from are based on the true story of scrappy child newspaper sellers in turn-of-the-century New York who go on strike when the price of papers goes up unfairly.
Alan Menken and Jack Feldman, who were responsible for the film score, teamed up again to transform "Newsies" into a musical for the stage, reworking the songs and collaborating with the new story writer, Harvey Fierstein, known for his work on "Hairspray."

Historian : Library Edition
AudioFile Reviews 2006 August
It's hard to imagine that the story of Dracula, which has been told many times and from many points of view, could be presented in such a fresh and intriguing way. Justine Eyre narrates the story of a 16-year-old who has found a packet of her father's letters, which document his long quest as a historian to learn the truth of the legend and find the true burial place of Dracula. Eyre's steady narration is augmented by the quiet intensity of Paul Michael, who reads the letters. As he becomes the guide to the father's travels, Michael's facility with accents adds an extra dimension to a journey through a number of eastern European countries. J.E.M.

Telephonic Meeting
Edgar A. Brown Building, Room 252
Columbia, South Carolina
Friday, December 14, 2001
9:00 a.m.
The telephonic meeting of the Board of the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources was conducted by conference call at 9:00 a.m., on Friday, December 14, 2001, in room 252 of the Edgar A. Brown Building, Columbia, South Carolina and DNR Wildlife Region 1 Office, 153 Hopewell Road, Pendleton, South Carolina. Notice of the date, time and places of the meeting were posted and mailed to the news media. Chairman Dr. Joab Lesesne presided over the meeting from the DNR Wildlife Region 1 Office in Pendleton. Board members present included Dr. Julius Leary, Danny Ford, Ben Gregg, Malloy McEachin and Dr. Douglas Rucker. Board member Russell Holliday, Jr. was absent. Dr. Paul A. Sandifer and staff members of the Department of Natural Resources and various guests were present at both meeting locations.
Chairman Lesesne called the meeting to order at 9:00 a.m. and welcomed everyone to the meeting.
Chairman Lesesne asked for a moment of silent meditation.
Chairman Lesesne asked if there were any corrections or additions to the minutes of the November 16, 2001 meeting. Dr. Leary made a motion that the minutes of the November 16, 2001 meeting be approved as submitted. Dr. Rucker seconded the motion and the motion carried unanimously.
A. Habitat Strategy
Chairman Lesesne asked if there were any changes or comments to the proposed habitat protection strategy distributed at the last meeting. There being no comments or objections staff were instructed to proceed with the strategy.
B. Proposed Regulations on DNR Owned Lands
Chairman Lesesne asked Billy McTeer to brief the Board on the proposed changes in response to public comments of 123-204. Mr. McTeer stated that comments were received from five individuals/groups regarding two issues: 1) ATV's, and 2) backcountry camping. Mr. McTeer then reviewed the recommendations of staff based on public comments received.
Chairman Lesesne asked for clarification in Section 204.N(2) regarding the time of operation of all terrain vehicles. Paul League explained the section.
Mr. McEachin questioned how the distinction of ATV use would be supported between hunting and non-hunting. Billy McTeer stated that this is consistent with regulations on other WMA's. Jim Quinn stated that an ATV used for hunting would be in one area most of the time, whereas, an ATV used for non-hunting would be riding around the area. Mr. League also stated that with this proposal, hunters would have only one day (Saturday) of "general peace" without intrusion by ATV's, whereas those who wish to joyride would have five days.
Ben Gregg commended staff on their work and also commended those who presented comments about the proposed regulations. Mr. Gregg asked if there are adequate resources in the area to assure compliance of the ATV regulations. Mr. Gregg also asked if the penalties are strict enough to serve as a deterrent for off-road ATV use. Larry Holbrook stated that resources are available and currently every effort is being made to raise awareness of speed limits. Mr. Gregg asked if the ATV organizations commented on the proposed regulations and if there is a way to notify them of the changes. Mr. McTeer stated that they did not comment and were not happy with the original regulations and they would like to have a specific area for off-road ATV use.
Mr. McTeer mentioned that the current regulation requires users of ATV's to hold a valid drivers license. After much discussion it was decided to strike the drivers license restriction.
Cary Chamblee asked Chairman Lesesne if he would provide an opportunity for public comment. Chairman Lesesne opened the floor for public comment. Chester Sansbury requested time to comment to the Board and was given the opportunity. Mr. Sansbury commended the staff of DNR for efforts made in working with organizations, such as REP America, Forest Watch and others, to address concerns raised by members of these organizations. Mr. Sansbury stated that most of the concerns he submitted, on behalf of REP America, have been addressed.
Chairman Lesesne stated that Dennis Chastain would like to make a comment. Mr. Chastain's stated that he felt the ATV restriction is a good, practical solution. Mr. Chastain also noted that there will probably be questions from dirt bike riders, motocross bike riders and three-wheel riders as to why they can't enjoy that form of recreation in the area.
After much discussion, Dr. Leary made a motion to amend 204.N(2) (f) and (g). Dr. Rucker seconded the motion and the motion carried unanimously.
(f) Subject to
the authority in subsection (d) above, the operation of all terrain vehicles is
restricted as follows.
All terrain
vehicles may be operated only by a person holding a valid current drivers
license. The oOperation
of all terrain vehicles is restricted to one hour before sunrise to one hour
after sunset each day beginning on Monday and continuing through the following
Friday. on Monday to one hour after sunset on Friday. A person may use an all terrain vehicle
while actually engaged in hunting at any time hunting is allowed; provided,
however, the operation of an all terrain vehicle is restricted to one hour
before sunrise to one hour after sunset with the exception of game retrieval,
and an all terrain vehicle may be used only on open roads.
(g) All terrain vehicles having three (3) wheels and motorcycles constructed or intended primarily for off road use, such as dirt bikes and motocross bikes, are prohibited within the Jim Timmerman Natural Resources Area at all times.
Chairman Lesesne suggested that the last sentence in 204.N(1) (a) be moved to the beginning. After much discussion regarding trail access by the lake, it was decided to strike the last sentence of 204.N(1) (b).
Dr. Leary made a motion to amend 204.N(1) (a) and (b). Dr. Rucker seconded the motion and the motion carried unanimously.
(a) Backcountry camping by permit will be
allowed at any time during the year that the main roads allowing access to the
Jocassee Gorges are not opened in connection with big game hunting. Backcountry camping is allowed by permit
only at any location within the Jocassee Gorges, except for any area closed for
camping by the Department. Backcountry camping is defined as minimal impact
camping. No fires are allowed and each
permitted camper is responsible for camping in a manner that results in no
trace of the camping activity being left after breaking camp. The Department may condition permits to
protect, preserve, or maintain the property.
Backcountry campers must apply for camping permits over the Department
internet site. No camping is permitted
within fifty (50') feet of a stream, lake or as posted by the Department.
camping by permit will be allowed at any time during the year that the main
roads allowing access to the Jocassee Gorges are not opened in connection with
big game hunting.
(a) The
Foothills Trail passes through portions of the Jocassee Gorges. Use of the Foothills Trail shall be limited
to hiking and primitive camping.
Camping is allowed at any point along the trail and within one hundred
feet of either side of the trail.
Camping along the Foothills Trail is restricted to hikers while engaged
in backpacking.
Camping is not
allowed for any person obtaining access to the Foothills Trail by boat from
Lake Jocassee.
Mr. Gregg made a motion to instruct staff to review including access by name in 204.N (1) (a). Dr. Rucker seconded the motion and the motion carried unanimously.
Mr. Gregg made a motion to adopt the full regulation as amended above. Dr. Rucker seconded the motion and the motion carried unanimously.
C. Aquaculture Legislation
Derrick Meggie asked Billy McTeer to comment on feedback received on this proposed legislation. Mr. McTeer stated that this legislation has been reviewed by the Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries Advisory Committee and several interested organizations. Mr. McTeer noted that the groups who commented on this proposed legislation support it as long as DNR feels the administration and enforcement are in place. Mr. McTeer reported that the Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries Advisory Committee has recommended that this proposed legislation be included in the Department's legislative package. Mr. Gregg stated that he felt it is important to work with industry to devise financing strategies for administration and enforcement. After a brief discussion concerning financing, Mr. Gregg made a motion that the Board approve including the proposed Aquaculture legislation in the package with the caveat that if the legislature passes this proposed legislation they will have to develop a funding mechanism for its enforcement. Dr. Rucker seconded the motion and the motion carried unanimously.
There being no further business to be brought before the DNR Board at this time, the meeting was adjourned.

You are here Home Company info Customer service plans Contingency plan for lengthy tarmac delays
The US Airways Contingency Plan for Lengthy Tarmac Delays is the result of new rules put forth by the U.S. Department of Transportation to address airline service during conditions that result in long on-board delays for passengers. This Contingency Plan is explicitly separate from and not a part of US Airways' Contract of Carriage.
US Airways fully complies with all U.S. Department of Transportation rules regarding lengthy tarmac delays. Our Contingency Plan is intended to provide you with information regarding US Airways' policies and procedures for handling your travel on our airline in the event of a lengthy ground delay for your aircraft.
Lengthy onboard ground delays can take place both during taxi-out prior to departure, and during taxi-in after landing. During both of these phases of travel, the following limits apply:
** Delays longer than these time limits may be necessary if (i) the pilot-in-command determines there is a safety-related or security-related reason why the aircraft cannot leave its position on the tarmac to deplane passengers; or (ii) air traffic control advises the pilot-in-command that returning to the gate or another disembarkation point elsewhere in order to deplane passengers would significantly disrupt airport operations.
For all flights experiencing a lengthy ground delay, US Airways will:
US Airways has taken steps to ensure sufficient resources are available to implement this Contingency Plan for Lengthy Tarmac Delays, when it is necessary to do so.
To better serve passengers, US Airways has coordinated this Contingency Plan for Lengthy Tarmac Delays with:
In an emergency, US Airways will make its best efforts to assist other carriers, including sharing facilities and making gates available.

Third of an eight-part series
The players listed in each team report below are not signed for the 2011 season. Because of the expiring Collective Bargaining Agreement between NFL players and owners, it is not yet known how many accrued years of service will be necessary to qualify for free agency and, thus, what type of free agent a player would be. After a player's name, we show his years of NFL service (including 2010), which will determine his free-agent type. It is likely that any player with six years or more of NFL experience will qualify for unrestricted free agency in 2011. However, it is possible that five years, or even four (as was the case in 2009 and before), will be enough to become unrestricted. Players with three years of experience are likely to continue to be restricted free agents, as well as those players with more experience but who fall short of the new CBA cutoff for unrestricted free agency.
Potential FAs: DT Anthony Adams (8), WR Devin Aromashodu (4), S Josh Bullocks (6), TE Desmond Clark (12), QB Todd Collins (16), WR Rashied Davis (6), CB Corey Graham (4), QB Caleb Hanie (3), OLB Brian Iwuh (5), C Olin Kreutz (13), LS Patrick Mannelly (13), S Danieal Manning (5), P Brad Maynard (14), OLB Nick Roach (4), OLB Pisa Tinoisamoa (8), DT Matt Toeaina (3), ILB Rod Wilson (5), RB Garrett Wolfe (4).
Analysis: Chicago opened the coffers to land Julius Peppers, Chester Taylor and Brandon Manumaleuna in free agency earlier this year. It wouldn't be a big surprise if the Bears decide to scale back their approach this coming offseason, although they still have major needs to address on the offensive line. One of the most glaring holes could be at center. The Bears probably aren't going to be willing to offer Kreutz, who is in his 13th year with the club, more than a one-year deal, and he may look elsewhere for a longer commitment. Mannelly, another player who has spent his entire career with the Bears, is expected to be back. Adams has started every game this season at nose tackle, but Chicago has a potential replacement for him in Marcus Harrison. There's a good chance the team will let Adams walk. Clark could follow him out the door. He has been a dependable player for a long time, but it's been difficult for him to make it onto the active roster for games, even though he's been healthy. While he hasn't excelled on defense, Manning is versatile and helps on special teams. He should be back. Graham, who has developed into an ace on special teams, can help at corner and likely will be re-signed. The Bears could consider other options at punter, since Maynard isn't having his best season, but they could stick with him for another season. Lovie Smith likes Tinoisamoa, and the team might be willing to offer him another one-year deal.
Potential FAs: QB Drew Stanton (4), DE Cliff Avril (3), S C.C. Brown (6), DE Jared DeVries (12), FB Jerome Felton (3), DT Andre Fluellen (3), C Dylan Gandy (5), CB Chris Houston (4), ILB Landon Johnson (7), DE Turk McBride (4), PK Dave Rayner (4), TE Tony Scheffler (5), RB Kevin Smith (3), CB Nathan Vasher (7), S John Wendling (4).
Analysis: As the Lions continue to build a roster and try to be competitive, there is sure to be a lot of turnover until they find the right mix. Martin Mayhew has been among the more active general managers in terms of making free-agent moves the past two seasons, although most of those signings have been of the lower-rung variety. It would be difficult to expect the Lions to make big splashes, like they did with Kyle Vanden Bosch and Nate Burleson, a second year in a row. Avril and Houston fit into the team's plans, though they might be RFAs and could be tendered easily before long-term deals are worked out over the next year. None of the others on this list offers too much excitement as they fit more in the quick-fix department, but Stanton, Felton, Fluellen, Gandy, McBride, Scheffler and Smith are young enough to warrant a return. It's possible, though, that none of them will line up as regular starters in 2011, so their pay grade will be proportional to that if they want to be back in Detroit. The good news is that the team has few young players it needs to lock up long term a year ahead of time, so there could be room for one or two significant free-agent additions — perhaps at linebacker, which is a major weakness.
Potential FAs: CB Josh Bell (3), S Atari Bigby (5), ILB Desmond Bishop (4), OG Daryn Colledge (5), PK Mason Crosby (4), LS Brett Goode (3), FB Korey Hall (4), RB Brandon Jackson (4), DE Cullen Jenkins (7), DE Johnny Jolly (5), WR James Jones (4), FB John Kuhn (5), S Charlie Peprah (5), C Jason Spitz (5), LB Matt Wilhelm (8), CB Tramon Williams (4).
Analysis: GM Ted Thompson's m.o. of emphasizing the re-signing of valuable players on the cusp of becoming free agents and steering clear of the free-agent market remains unchanged. Williams, who has come on like gangbusters, very likely could get a well-deserved new contract in the near future. To a lesser extent, the Packers also could re-up not too far down the road with Jenkins, using the four-year, $24.9 million deal they gave fellow DE Ryan Pickett last March as a parameter. Bishop, Jackson and Peprah are playing well enough to have improved their stock and are probably good bets to be re-signed if they can keep it up. Jones' future in Green Bay could in great part hinge on just how much gas veteran Donald Driver has left in the tank. Crosby has a big leg but has been inconsistent. Expendable veterans whose releases could free up more money to take care of the aforementioned free-agents-to-be are OT Mark Tauscher and Driver. Also, because of the way Bishop has come on, ILBs Nick Barnett, who suffered a season-ending wrist injury earlier this season, and A.J. Hawk, whose current contract is structured to likely make him a free agent next year, could be expendable.
Potential FAs: S Husain Abdullah (3), WR Hank Baskett (5), C Ryan Cook (5), DE Ray Edwards (5), DT Fred Evans (5), QB Brett Favre (20), S Eric Frampton (4), OLB Chad Greenway (5), OLB Erin Henderson (3), QB Tarvaris Jackson (5), OLB Ben Leber (9), WR Greg Lewis (8), PK Ryan Longwell (14), WR Sidney Rice (4), DE Brian Robison (4), CB Lito Sheppard (9), FB Naufahu Tahi (5), S Madieu Williams (7), DT Pat Williams (13).
Analysis: The biggest question for the team clearly will be at quarterback, where Favre has said he will not return in 2011 and Jackson is likely to try to find work elsewhere, knowing his options in Minnesota are likely to be limited. But the uncertain status of head coach Brad Childress makes it nearly impossible to determine what direction the team will take at QB for next season and beyond. The Vikings have a core of three or four young players they want to lock up long term, team sources have told PFW. That list likely starts with Rice, Greenway and Edwards. Rice's status is foggy because some believe he delayed his hip surgery because he was upset about not getting a long-term deal. He played his first game of the season in Week 11, catching three passes for 56 yards. As a fourth-year player, he's in free-agency limbo and could be restricted once more. Greenway has played some of his best ball this season, but he will want a big payday. Do you spend big money on a linebacker who doesn't sack the quarterback and hasn't otherwise made a ton of game-changing plays? It will be a tough call if the salary demands are sky-high, though some 4-3 team probably will be willing to pay for his services. Edwards hasn't had the breakout season many expected, but he's a strong-side end who could flourish in the right system and is said to be seeking big money, too. Sources have said some Vikings officials are more fond of Edwards than others, so it will be interesting to see how he's treated. Disappointing Madieu Williams, whose deal is voidable, has only three interceptions in 35 starts with the Vikings, so his days with the team could be numbered. Pat Williams says he wants to play another season or two after talking retirement previously, though he might not fit into the team's plans after this year. There are no other must-sign guys on this list, though a few could return as reserves.

BELLEVILLE — The Belleville East Lancers didn't have all the answers against the non-stop pressure of Alton on Friday.
But they had enough.
Senior Cameron Hunter led a balanced attack with 19 points and the Lancers made enough plays down the stretch to stun Alton 59-58 in a Southwestern Conference game.
Ranked seventh in the Class 4A state poll, Alton trailed 59-54 following a short jumper by Darreon Reddick and a conventional three-point play by Hunter with 1:43 remaining.
A pair of baskets by Alton's Datae McMurrary -- the second coming with 57 seconds left -- cut the Lancers' lead to 59-58.
Following missed free throws from the Lancers' Daymione Cross and Reddick and a missed layup by McMurray, Alton got the ball with 12 seconds remaining.
With two fouls to give, the Lancers then fouled McMurray before he get a shot off and when Redbirds center Bryan Hudson's 10-foot jumper bounced off the rim at the buzzer, the Lancers celebrated as their fans stormed the court.
"They (Alton) are so quick and they put that constant pressure on you for 32 minutes. We knew it was coming. But even so it's still tough to simulate that in practice. But for the most part I thought we handed it well,'' East coach Abel Schrader said. "You know we made some mistakes and it wasn't always pretty, but the kids made the plays when they needed too.
"This is a big win for a lot of reasons.''
The win moves East to 6-3 in the SWC and 15-6 for the season. Alton, which entered play Friday with a mark of 17-2 and tied for the SWC lead, falls to 6-2 in the conference and a game behind Edwardsville, following its 58-49 win against East St. Louis on Friday.
Following the loss, Redbirds coach Eric Smith said a sluggish first half came back to haunt his team.
"That's the $1-million dollar question? Why we sluggish in the first half. I really don't know. I have no clue,'' Smith said. "We just didn't get after it on the defensive end of the court like we needed too.'
"You need to be ready to play for 32 minutes every night in this conference. We learned a hard-lesson tonight. I just hope it's not a lesson that costs us the SWC title.''
Getting six points from Hunter and four apiece from Reddick and Brady Schanuel, the Lancers led by as many as six points early and owned leads of 16-14 after one quarter and 30-29 at halftime.
But Alton turned up the pressure in the third quarter.
East, which committed only five turnovers in he first half, equaled that number in the opening three minutes of the second half.
Michael Williams-Bey, Darrius Edwards and McMurray combined for five steals and 11 points as Alton took a six-point lead late in the period.
But baskets by Hunter and Reddick brought East back to within 46-44 entering the fourth quarter.
Hunter and Reddick combined for all 14 of the Lancers' points in the third quarter.
"That was a big turning point, because instead of being down five or six, we were down two and we had a little momentum going into the final quarter,'' Schrader said. "Darreon played all 32 minutes against that pressure and so he was really gassed. But I thought he stepped up and made big plays and I thought Austin (Cox) and Cameron (Hunter) played very well tonight.''
Reddick, who finished with 17 points, scored early in the fourth quarter and when Cox scored on consecutive trips down the floor, East led 52-50 with five minutes remaining.
McMurray led Alton with 16 points. Edwards and Williams-Bey chipped in with 14 each.

Abby Monson had experienced the highs and lows of college athletics through her career as part of WVU's volleyball team, but no amount of adversity in sports could prepare her for what she faced off the court.
Her mother, Linda, had been battling breast cancer for eight years and last April, she succumbed to the disease.
When Monson found out there wasn't much time left, she was in study hall with her teammates, and they immediately embraced her to let her know that no matter what happened, they would be there for her.
"I think that's what really defines a team is off the court interactions," Monson says. "We are so close and we really were a team in that moment, which was really cool for me."
There was no hesitation or second thought given. Each member of the volleyball squad thought of Monson as a sister and wanted to do whatever they could to help ease the pain she felt.
"The way we look at our team is we're a family," says WVU volleyball assistant coach Kevin Dunn. "So when someone in our family is hurting like that, we have to do everything that we can."
Abby said goodbye to her mother on April second of 2011 and rather than falling apart or giving up on life, she takes on each day with a renewed appreciation for its possibilities.
She says she is her mother's daughter, and with that comes a tremendous amount of faith, which has guided her in the days and months since she lost her best friend.
That faith allows her to live every moment in Linda's memory.
"I miss her everyday," Monson says, "but I try to remember her in a positive way and just grow so much from it. I'm a completely different person than I was a year ago and I'm very thankful for that."
Knowing Monson and the way she approaches each day, Dunn is not surprised by the fact that she has become a source of inspiration to others despite what she has experienced.
"Her outlook on life is spectacular. It's a very positive outlook – everything that happens, happens for a reason and her faith is a big part of that," says Dunn. "The adversity that she went through with her mom and everything like that, a person with the kind of morals and faith and someone who's deeply positive like that is going to get through it easier. She took a situation that was awful and made the best of what she could out of it."
On Saturday, she participated in the Relay for Life on WVU's campus, walking and spending time with other athletes in honor of her mother and countless others who have been impacted by cancer.
"A lot of the athletes know my story and I think that they realize how important it is to me and I think that a lot of other people realize, 'Wow, I can totally relate to that,' even if it's on a smaller scale, larger scale, whatever it is," says Monson.
As the president of WVU's Student-Athlete Advisor Committee, Monson's been in charge of organizing events like this in the past, but this year it meant even more to her and to the other athletes who came to her side because of Linda.
"Relay for Life really focuses on the fact that cancer never sleeps, so it's a 12-hour event from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., so we don't sleep either," says Monson, who donated money to make luminaries for her mother and others who have suffered from the disease. "These are all the people that have been affected by it. Some have survived, some haven't – this is why we're here."
Relay for Life isn't a race. There's no prize for first place or record for the fastest time, but there's no denying that the room was full of winners that day.
Monson, in her mother's honor, led them all.

Dow Corning Corporation, a leading developer and manufacturer of silicon-based materials, is expected to lay off as many as 500 workers globally in the coming weeks.
Dow Corning employs about 12,000 people globally, so it is unsure what impact this will have among the company's facility in Midland.
Company President and CEO Robert D. Hansen said in a statement, "Our company's greatest asset is our people, and this is a difficult decision to have to make. We are taking steps to ease the transition of affected employees and understand there are a lot of talented, hard-working people leaving our team."
Hansen continued, stating that "Dow Corning has added significant professional capability and resources in support of expected and sustained growth in recent years. Since that growth didn't materialize as expected, it was necessary to re-evaluate those investment decisions given the state of the global economy."
The cuts will mostly come from the professional ranks of the company through an involuntary separation program. It does look like manufacturing jobs may be safe for the time being. The company is dealing with oversupplied markets, high material costs and slow growth.
WNEM will continue to follow this story and provide updates as soon as more information comes into the newsroom.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The Coast Guard has set temporary flight restrictions over a coastal Louisiana bayou where a pipeline fire continues to burn two days after a tugboat accident touched it off.
Within a mile of the site, aircraft must stay above 5,000 feet.
The fire started Tuesday evening when a tug pushing an oil barge hit a Chevron liquefied natural gas pipeline in Bayou Perot (per-ROH'), about 30 miles south of New Orleans. Gas to the area was shut off but officials said it would take time to burn off what remained.
One man was severely burned. Petty Officer Carlos Vega said Thursday that he cannot release the man's name or condition.
The accident is under investigation.
The barge holds 92,000 gallons of oil. It remained intact Thursday with no leaks reported.

Re: ICQ
ICQ is pretty much antiquated now, it is was a big part of the AOL package where you paid AOL to put you on-line. Never understood that concept -- you have to have an internet connection - in those days dialup was the only flavour in town - then you connected to AOL and then you could browse the net. AOL sort of was a distribution agent in an age when you really didn't need one - but it sure was a good way to make piles of money. I googled it for you so you can kind of read up on it AOL and ICQ
If you use IrfanView, choose resize/resample and then save for the web - it will give you the choice of .jpg or .gif extensions and the file should end up somewhere around 1.4kbs to 1.9kbs which is the correct range to upload to your profile. Download and install both Irfanview and the plugins. It is a rather simple programs once you get used to it.

"We get what all the rioting's about... These are little cacao nibs dunked in some SERIOUS chocolate … These have only 1 - 2 calories per piece (or as they say on the tin, "peace"), and you don't need to eat too many at once — that tin'll likely last you awhile.

- 20181253c7a5684bb1c36523971918d542b0d1fa:
FORT WORTH -- NASCAR driver Jimmie Johnson returned to Texas Motor Speedway this week in a familiar position -- after his win last week, he leads the points standings again.
"I like it," Johnson said. "I love being up top. I think it sends a message to the garage area that we're buttoned up, we're ready, and we're able to lead. Leading in the chase has a bit more impact than leading now, but I'll take it."
When Johnson won those five straight NASCAR Sprint Cup Series championships, he was averaging seven wins a year. The two years after those championship seasons, he had a total of seven, period.
It's still early in the season, but things seem to be changing.
Last week in Martinsville, Johnson won his second race of the year. He's the only driver with multiple wins in 2013.
"The thing I look at the most is that's a track within the chase, so coming back there in the fall, we have a great place to start and hopefully we can have the same of performance, all-and-all good," Johnson said. "My mind clearly is on the big picture and the championship."
The only controversy Johnson seems to create is when journalists pick him as the best driver of all time. Critics say it's because of the chase format. He has won all of his titles under the nine-year-old system.
"It's like assuming a double play," said Terry Blount, who covers motorsports for ESPN.com. "You don't know how they would have raced if there wouldn't be a chase, and how they would have approached the season if it was accumulative points. I don't think that's a fair criticism. I think what he's done in any era in any system, is truly remarkable."
ESPN NASCAR analyst Rusty Wallace is also a fan.
"He's very calculated, he's very polished, he's very perfect," Wallace said. "A lot of people don't like perfect. A lot of people like controversy and stuff like that. If I would tell Jimmie anything and give him a piece of advice, I'd tell him to be a little bit meaner out there."
But as long as he keeps winning, being mean seems out of character.

(WMC-TV) - ESPN is in town to showcase the Memphis Tigers basketball team. Memphis Madness is this Friday night at FedexForum.
Head Coach Josh Pastner has big expectations for Tiger Nation this upcoming season.
"We're going to have a tremendous evening. I can tell you that. It's going to be energized. I'm all about energy. Life is about energy, positive energy. It's going to be on the move. You don't want to miss it. Doors open at 6:30 [p.m.] They'll end by 9 [p.m.]," said Pastner.
With the tigers now in the American Athletic conference, you will see tougher opponents and some old rivals.
"You got the defending champs, Louisville. You got UConn, Cincinnati, South Florida, Temple, Rutgers, along with SMU, Houston, and Central Florida so we have a heck of a league ... One of the best in the country," said Pastner.
The expectations remain high for Pastner and his players.
"We don't want ever the expectations to change here. That's what makes it great, and we want the expectations to be as high as it can be year in year out," said Pastner. "In Memphis, they want you to go ... And win the national championship every year. So we got to hopefully have an opportunity to do that. It's the one of thing that hasn't been done here, win a national title. We'd love to have an opportunity to bring that back."

Inadequate treatment leaves sweet residues
German researchers have found traces of artifical sweeteners in treated waters. The research took samples from two sewage treatment facilities, as well as a soil aquifer treatment site. Using a new process that tests for the presence of several chemicals simultaneously, they detected traces of at least 4 artificial sweeteners in the samples. Further research found these same sweeteners in the facilities' recieving waters.
The health effects of artificial sweeteners are still the subject of debate. Some think that they're a carcinogen. The human body can't fully process the sweeteners, so some residue is excreted, which explains its presence in the wastewater. However, with the effects of these chemicals still under debate, it's apparent that further treatment is necessary.

(GIF and video via ABC/ESPN)
The touchdown was a slightly big deal, as it gave No. 4 Ohio State a 31-24 lead in the fourth quarter over the surprisingly frisky Iowa Hawkeyes. But hey, for Iowa, sometimes it just doesn't matter how hard you try when the opponent is doing insane things like that.
