Owen Electric Cooperative recently received recognition in the 2014 "Spotlight on Excellence" national awards program, sponsored by the Council of Rural Electric Communicators and the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association.
Owen Electric received a gold award for the latest display and addition to its museum, located at its headquarters office.
A case of vandalism that apparently started in New Liberty last week ended in damage to the Owen County High School agriculture department's greenhouse.
Owen County Sheriff Zemer Hammond said juveniles are responsible for the damage, which included tore up signs in New Liberty, broken church windows near Big Twin and tore up plastic at the high school's greenhouse.
Owen County School District Superintendent Rob Stafford said the side of a metal building was also beat in at the high school and plants inside the greenhouse were also damaged.
With the party primaries over, the field of candidates for the November general election is set.
In the two most high-profile campaigns, Democrat and Owen County Magistrate Casey Ellis will square off against Republican Party candidate for judge-executive Gary W. Minch for the county's most powerful post.
With a large field for the office of Owen County sheriff, Democrat and incumbent Zemer Hammond will be opposed by Republican and former Kentucky State Police Trooper Mark Bess.
About 200 survivors, caregivers, friends and supporters attended Friday and Saturday's Owen County Relay For Life, in what organizers are calling another successful event.
Kelsey Lewis, a Relay For Life specialist with the American Cancer Society, said this year's beautiful weather played a role in the success of the event.
"It went very well," Lewis said. "We were all very pleased. There were a lot of great activities and we received a lot of positive feedback."

The fight to beat cancer moves to Owen County Friday night.
The 2014 Owen County Relay for Life will kick off Friday at 7 p.m. at Itron Field. The event, which supports local efforts to bring comfort, treatment and support for cancer victims and their families, is sponsored by and benefits the American Cancer Society.
Joshua Hammond could spend 25 years in prison following his involvement in the May 2012 murder of Frankfort's Charles Monroe.
A Franklin County grand jury handed down its verdict in the trial for Joshua Hammond, 33, May 12.
The jury found Hammond guilty on the charges of first-degree robbery, first-degree assault and tampering with physical evidence.
Hammond's murder charge was amended to reckless homicide.
A sentence of 25 years has been recommended, but a final sentencing has not been held.
The outcome of many of Tuesday's Owen County Primary Election races were close.
But for current Owen County second-district magistrate Casey Ellis, it was a wide margin of victory for the Democratic nomination in the race for the county's top-elected position.
Ellis will now face Republican Party nominee Gary W. Minch in November for the office of county judge-executive.
Ellis won Tuesday's primary and carried all 12 of Owen County's precincts with nearly 70 percent of the votes.
Loving homes are needed in Owen County for international students.
Maybe yours?
Hundreds of foreign high school students, both boys and girls, are sitting at home these days, hoping for their chance experience the typical American way of life. Their dreams include going to a football game, eating macaroni and cheese around the dinner table, attending an American school, church, prom and playing sports.
The Aspect Foundation is looking for landing spots for these students.

UPDATED: La Jolla High clerk responsible for more than $25,000 in missing ASB funds
NOTE: The following story was updated Friday, July 19, to include statements from La Jolla High Principal Dana Shelburne and the Foundation of La Jolla High School.
District calls 52-page audit of associated student body accounts worst the department has encountered
To read the 52-page audit, click here.
By Pat Sherman
An auditor with the San Diego Unified School District says his 52-page audit of La Jolla High School's associated student body funds is the longest and most negative the district has ever encountered, according to U-T San Diego, which first reported the story July 15.
Chief among the 60 negative findings in the July 2 report is that a school clerk, who resigned in February when the audit began, removed more than $25,000 in funds earmarked for student activities, using accounting ruses to cover up the loss.
Nine checks from The Foundation of La Jolla High School, totaling almost $14,000, were used to cover missing money from the various accounts, according to the audit of $1 million raised and $915,000 spent during the 2011-2012 school year (July 1, 2011 to June 30, 2012).
The report says $26,925 in unaccounted funds in the ASB accounts is only a "minimum amount."
The financial clerk, whose name was withheld by district officials, might have done the same thing in a previous district post not identified in the report, it shows.
Asked to comment about the loss and other questionable ASB accounting practices detailed in the report, the school district issued the following statement from Superintendent Cindy Marten on Wednesday, July 17.
"The public can be assured that the San Diego Unified School District takes very seriously our responsibility to properly spend funds from taxpayers and donors alike.
"As Superintendent, my expectations are that all district employees understand and follow our district policies, procedures, and the law. It is the district's responsibility to provide relevant, timely and clear information and training to our employees for this important function.
"In cases where an audit has shown that policies or the law are not followed, all appropriate action will be taken. Due to employee privacy rules, we are not always at liberty to share the consequences with the public. However, the district will follow through with appropriate discipline/legal action as required.
Our students, parents and the community can trust my full attention to these issues."
Other irregularities detailed in the report include:
• More than $200,000 in spending unaccounted for by receipts or other required documentation.
• The school used ASB funds to pay a retired employee and Advanced Placement test monitors, which also should be paid with district money.
• When paying a construction company for football field repairs, Principal Dana Shelburne transferred $26,000 from an ASB account to his own discretionary account. The work, including construction of a wall, drainage and waterproofing, should have been covered by district funds.
• ASB money was used to purchase fireworks for a homecoming event (the district prohibits pyrotechnics on school grounds), and to pay almost $100,000 to the publisher of the school yearbook (awarded the job without it first going out to bid).
• La Jolla High accepted a grant for $26,386 from UC San Diego, which it deposited into the ASB checking account, instead of the district account.
• Unaccounted funds, included: $1,982 in senior dues for the class of 2012 and ASB Ball income totalling $3,360.
• The ASB received a $1,500 check from the La Jolla Kiwanis Foundation for football, though it was deposited to an account where basketball game proceeds are collected — to cover a deficiency in that account.
Don Hodges of the Kiwanis foundation told La Jolla Light the $1,500 is only a small part of what the foundation gives to the school annually (this year it awarded $15,000 to La Jolla High's scholarship foundation to award student scholarships at local community colleges.
However, Hodges added, "any funds that are given for a specific purpose we would expect that those funds are used for that purpose. … If the funds go to other purposes, that would be a concern to us."
Speaking with Light on July 17, Scott Barnett, a school board member whose district includes La Jolla High, said the board would likely ask the district attorney's office to open an investigation.
"There are many times in an audit where it appears that there are accounting errors or sloppiness or mistakes, but the absolutely egregious level of missing funds is extremely worrisome here and I believe warrants the district attorney to investigate to find out who is responsible, and where those funds are," Barnett said
Steve Walker, a representative for District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis, said the office's special operations division routinely investigates cases in which there has been a misuse of public funds. The District Attorney's office won't confirm whether a case has been opened until charges are filed, Walker said.
On Friday, July 19, Principal Shelburne issued the following statement to La Jolla High parents:
"The findings of that report focused mainly on monies allegedly misappropriated by means of accounting manipulations. The District's auditors apprised me of their findings in May.
"We have been audited several times in past years without incident. This audit, however, revealed a fairly sophisticated, inappropriate series of monetary transfers that resulted in the loss of school funds. It is important to note the audit found the contributions of the Foundation of La Jolla High School to be completely lawful and above reproach. And while I am pursuing resolution to disagreements about acceptable use of ASB funds, please be assured we have instituted new safeguards to ensure monetary manipulation can never recur."
Foundation of La Jolla High President Jeffrey Macelli, also released a statement in response to the audit:
"In light of the recent article in the San Diego Union-Tribune, the Foundation of La Jolla High School has been asked to clarify its role and position in the community.
The Foundation is a credentialed 501C(3)and is more than twenty-five years old. Its stated Mission is 'to enhance the overall educational experience of LJHS students and programs by raising, managing and disbursing funds to support academic, athletic, building and grounds, and other needs of the school for which funding is not sufficient.' The Foundation is a separate entity, distinct from La Jolla High School, the ASB, and San Diego Unified School District.
The Foundation provides funds to support or supplement activities and initiatives that adhere to rules and guidelines established by the Foundation, and which are acceptable to and approved by La Jolla High School. The Foundation delivers funding after a thorough review and vetting process that requires supporting documentation and LJHS administrative approvals.
We are aware of the SDUSD Audit dated July 2, 2013 that was made public on Tuesday, July 16, however it is outside our area of purview."

Young drivers at Alonso and Sickles high schools got a lesson in highway safety today, Jan. 24, courtesy of the Florida Highway Patrol and some friends in the trucking industry.
A "No-Zone Blitz" was conducted to teach youthful motorists the ins and outs of safety when traveling near tractor trailers. During this morning's blitz, troopers and members of the Florida Trucking Association visited 13 high schools throughout Hillsborough County to teach road safety skills, especially as they relate to driving around tractor trailers.
"Sharing the road safely with large trucks can be a challenge for anyone, but it is especially challenging to new drivers," Mary Lou Rajchel, president and CEO of the Florida Trucking Association, said in a highway patrol media release. "To ease this apprehension and educate young, new drivers we provide education on the operating characteristics of full size tractor trailers, as well as the large blind spots that exist."
The National Safety Council says 10 teens died daily in vehicle crashes in 2009 in the United States alone. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says seven teens between the ages of 16 and 19 died daily in motor vehicle crashes in 2010.
"The risk of motor vehicle crashes is higher among 16- to 19-year-olds than among any other age group," the CDC's website says. "In fact, per mile driven, teen drivers ages 16 to 19 are three times more likely than drivers aged 20 and older to be in a fatal crash."
These figures have prompted authorities to increase safety demonstrations, such as Thursday's "No-Zone" lessons. No-Zones are the areas around a tractor trailer that motorists should avoid to help prevent accidents.
To send the message home, students even had the chance to get inside a big rig to "see firsthand the blind spots around tractor-trailers where cars 'disappear' from a truck driver's view," the release said. These blind spots also apply to other large vehicles, such as buses.
No-Zone Safety Tips from FHP
Here's what the highway patrol says all motorists – not just young ones – should look out for in regard to No-Zones:
SIDE NO-ZONES - Don't "hang out" on either side of trucks or buses!
They have big blind spots on both sides. If you can't see the driver's face in his side-view mirror, he can't see you. If that driver needs to change lanes for any reason, you could be in big trouble!
REAR NO-ZONES - Avoid Tailgating!
Unlike cares, trucks and buses have huge No-Zones directly behind them. Truck and bus drivers can't see your car back there, and you can't see what's going on ahead of you. If the truck or bus drivers brakes suddenly, you have no place to go.
FRONT NO-ZONES - Pass Safely!
Don't cut-in front too soon after passing. Truck and bus drivers need nearly twice the time and room to stop as cars. Look for the whole front of the truck in your rear-view mirror before pulling in front, and then don't slow down!
BACKING UP NO-ZONE - Pay Closer Attention!
Never cross behind a truck that is backing up! Hundreds of motorist and pedestrians are killed or injured, each year, by ignoring trucks backing up. Truck drivers do not have a rearview mirror and may not see you cutting in behind them.
WIDE RIGHT TURNS - Avoid the "Squeeze Play"!
Truck and bus drivers sometimes need to swing wide to the left in order to safely make a right turn. They can't see cars squeezing-in between them and the curb. Watch for their blinkers and give them room to turn.
Do you avoid the No-Zones when driving?
The risk of motor vehicle crashes is higher among 16- to 19-year-olds than among any other age group. In fact, per mile driven, teen drivers ages 16 to 19 are three times more likely than drivers aged 20 and older to be in a fatal crash

The National Weather Service says the latest winter storm that has prompted speed restrictions on Pennsylvania highways and the turnpike has already brought several inches of snow to the commonwealth. Forecasters say observers have reported 4.5 inches of snow in Mercer County in western Pennsylvania and 3.5 inches in Berks County in eastern Pennsylvania, according to The Associated Press.
In Philadelphia, between 2 and 3 inches has been reported. Allegheny, Butler, Venango and Lehigh counties are each reporting 3 inches of snow. The Pennsylvania Turnpike reduced speed limits to 45 mph along the entire turnpike system on Tuesday due to heavy snow and icy conditions, and the same speed limit is in effect on many commonwealth interstates and other roads, according to the AP.
Rain is expected to fall on eastern Pennsylvania over the week, followed by a weekend of sun in the Philadelphia area.

In a somewhat surprising development, New York Mets' third baseman David Wright is in the lineup for Saturday afternoon's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. Wright broke his pinkie on Monday against the Nationals when he dove back to a base. He was unable to take swings on Friday, and he was going to test it one more time on Saturday before a likely trip to the DL. But apparently Saturday's tests went well, and Terry Collins has him batting third against Vance Worley. Via @Mets:
Mets Sat. lineup at Philly: Tejada-SS, Murphy-2B, Wright-3B, Davis-1B, Bay-LF, Duda-RF, Nieuwenhuis-CF, Thole-C, Niese-LHP— New York Mets (@Mets) April 14, 2012
It's an unexpected turn of events, as Wright seemed destined for the disabled list after being held out all week and struggling to swing on Friday. On Friday night, he said the fracture prevented him from wrapping the pinkie fully around the bat. Via MLB.com:
"Right now my finger won't wrap around anything," he said. "Obviously, it's painful, but right now it's more of a functional thing, too. It's tough to make a fist, so I can't really get that finger moving the way that I need it to grip a bat."
But he was cleared to play as long as he was able to bear the pain and effectively swing and grip his glove. He reiterated that he doesn't want to play through the pain to point where he's largely ineffective and hurting the team, but he's going to give it a go on Saturday against the Mets' bitter rival.

I haven't the foggiest idea why, but earlier this afternoon I found myself reading over ESPN's staff predictions for the World Series. You can find them here, and presented below are a couple of the blurbs:
Not even the Cardinals' vaunted bullpen will be able to stop the bleeding against the Rangers' powerful lineup.
The Rangers' offense is simply too powerful for the Cardinals to handle.
I don't mean to pick on those writers - I just want to use this as a jumping-off point to talk about the perception that the Rangers have an unbelievable lineup. The Rangers, obviously, can hit. They finished third in baseball in runs scored, and second in OPS. But - and obviously this isn't ground-breaking analysis - it's so, so important to consider park effects.
Rangers, home: .860 OPS
Rangers, road:. 740 OPS
Rangers, home: 6.1 runs/game
Rangers, road: 4.4 runs/game
The Rangers play their home games in a hitter-friendly environment that boosts their offensive numbers. Hell, in the playoffs, they've scored 33 runs in five home games, and 22 runs in five road games. They can hit and they have power, but they're made to look better than they are by the ballpark named in their honor.
The Cardinals, incidentally, have the opposite thing going on. Busch Stadium is a pitcher-friendly environment, and you can see that in the stats:
Cardinals, home: .745 OPS
Cardinals, road: .785 OPS
Cardinals, home: 4.3 runs/game
Cardinals, road: 5.1 runs/game
The Cardinals, despite playing in the National League, finished with the #1 road OPS in baseball. The Red Sox were a close second, and the Yankees were a distant third. (The Royals[?] were a distant fourth.) There's a convincing argument to be made that it's the Cardinals who have the best offense in the league.
The Rangers have a good offense, and it'll be the best the Cardinals have faced of their three October opponents, but it'll be mortal for the games in St. Louis. And as for the games in Texas, then it becomes a matter of keeping up, of which the Cardinals are more than capable.

PLATTSBURGH — Plattsburgh City School District received a clean audit from the Office of State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli.
"Plattsburgh just received the single cleanest audit in northern New York," said City School Superintendent James "Jake" Short at a recent board meeting. "In fact, we may be in the top 1 percent of the state.
"It is an incredible accomplishment."
Public schools are subject to many kinds of audits, he noted; however, "the king of all audits is the comptroller's audit," which is carried out once every five years and aggressively examines all aspects of a district for fiscal accountability.
The City School's 2013 comptroller's audit, which took several months to conduct, covered the period from July 1, 2011, through Dec. 31, 2012.
The first phase of the process typically involves state auditors identifying areas of risk within a district, explained City School Associate Superintendent Jay Lebrun.
During the second phase, those areas are tested, and depending on the findings, the Comptroller's Office makes recommendations to the district about how to reduce risk.
"They found no evident area of risk in their first phase," Lebrun said, "so they used the default area test in school districts, which is payroll ... and in testing that, they had no recommendations, so it was a no-findings audit, or a clean audit."
The associate superintendent noted that he has found no other districts in Clinton, Essex or Franklin counties and very few schools or municipal governments across the state that have achieved such an accomplishment.
"I believe this is a very big deal," he said.
Lebrun credited the success, in part, to the district's Business Office.
"I'm fortunate to work with some exceptional colleagues in the Business Office," he said. "They do a great job."
In addition, he noted, even before the comptroller began requiring schools to undergo the process, Plattsburgh City School Board took it upon itself to hire a consultant to audit the district.
"This district's Board of Education, many years ago, well before the laws reflected such, recognized the importance of fiscal accountability," he said.

George Zenovich was a political giant in California. After politics he was appointed an Appeals Court Justice. The Appellate Court's downtown Fresno building now bears his name.
Saturday Governor Brown and a long list of noteworthy leaders in this state paid tribute to a man many called Zeno at the George Zenovich Memorial in northwest Fresno.
Governor Brown sang his praises for helping to create the State Arts Council and the landmark Agricultural Labor Relations Board. "I always admired how George could keep those farmers happy and I think he did and he would keep a relationship with the unions and the UFW, a very difficult task.
Marina Zenovich, George's daughter choked back tears to pay tribute to her Dad. "He had class and style. A musicians heart and an adventurers soul."
Walter Karabian is a Fresno native and life long friend of Zenovich. Karabian moved to Los Angeles and later served in the legislature with Zenovich. "In the agriculture area and in criminal justice, looking out for the little guy. And we bonded not only because we were both Fresnans but because we had the same philosophy. He was a moderate Democrat."
Congressman Jim Costa began his political career in Sacramento about the same time Zenovich left politics. "It was an honor because he taught you how to treat people. He was introspective. He cared. He let you know he could make a difference if you tried and you trusted your gut."
George Zenovich dreamed of being a musician but his career let him to be an state lawmaker, attorney and Appellate Court Justice. He is survived by his wife Kika and two daughters. George Zenovich was 91 years old.

Sale Tosses Scoreless Inning in Pro Debut for Winston-Salem
WINSTON SALEM, N.C. – It was the type of first impression former FGCU baseball star and Chicago White Sox first round selection Chris Sale was looking to make.
With Winston-Salem leading 4-2, Sale entered the game in the eighth and tossed a scoreless inning to help the Dash pick up a series-clinching win over the Potomac Nationals in front of a record-breaking crowd of 7,268 fans at BB&T Ballpark on Friday night.
After signing a contract that included a 1.656 million dollar signing bonus on June 22, Sale tossed 10 strikes out of his 15 total pitches in his first relief appearance for the Dash, a Class A Advanced affiliate of the White Sox. Sale's 10 strikes helped induce a pair of ground outs and a pop out. Sale was one of three pitchers that combined on a three-hitter.
Sale, Collegiate Baseball's National Player of the Year, the Atlantic Sun Conference Pitcher of the Year, a finalist for the College Baseball Foundation's Pitcher of the Year award, and a finalist for the 2010 USA Baseball Golden Spikes Award (GSA), has been named an All-American by five different outlets (Ping!Baseball, Louisville Slugger, Yahoo! Sports, Baseball America, ABCA/Rawlings).
The 21-year-old produced amazing numbers in 2010 to help the Eagles clinch their third consecutive Atlantic Sun regular season title. Sale finished his junior season with an 11-0 record, two saves and a 2.01 ERA in 17 appearances. He also racked up 146 strikeouts with just 14 walks for a strikeout-to-walk ratio of 10.4-to-1 for the year.
Sale's dominance on the mound was evident by his top 15 ranking in the nation in five different statistical categories. The Lakeland, Fla. product finished fourth in the country in overall strikeouts (146), fifth in strikeouts per nine innings (12.76), eighth in ERA (2.01), 10th in walks allowed per nine innings (1.22) and 13th in wins (11).

---- — LONDONDERRY — The town will have 12 new acres of open space to enjoy.
Town councilors approved the purchase of a tract of land on High Range Road at a meeting Monday night.
The 12-acre parcel, owned by David and George Hicks, was eyed by officials as a perfect choice to add to the list of town-owned conservation properties.
Conservation Commission members recommended the purchase.
The Hicks family approached the town and was willing to sell the property for $60,000, less than an appraised value that was almost twice the price.
It's a good deal for the town, officials say.
"We thought, this is too good to be true," Conservation Commission member Paul Nickerson said.
It's a valuable piece that will add a lot to that area and nearby properties, officials say. That's because it abuts another conservation piece, the Plummer property. It also serves to help connect some other town trails and areas for recreational use.
It's often difficult to those using other trails to make those connections. The Plummer land doesn't have good access for pedestrians, who end up crossing private property to get to other town-owned points of destination.
Adding the Hicks piece to the puzzle would solve that problem, Nickerson said.
Conservation members will monitor the property as they do all town conservation lands and are launching an effort to put a land stewardship initiative into place.
Councilors questioned whether the Hicks land was free of any contaminants or other hidden problems.
Dan Hicks said his land has been clean and wooded for generations.
"For as long as I've been on the Earth," he said.
Councilor Tom Dolan thanked the Hicks family for their contribution to Londonderry.
"I think it's a very generous offer," Dolan said.
Nickerson said the Hicks property will offer a long list of opportunities for those who like to hike, ski, walk or ride a bike

Why have you decided to run for election?
Larry Mast and Candy Yoder have been Concord School Board members for a combined 35 years, therefore there is a need to have a qualified and informed individual to continue the work and progress. I have been involved in the Concord Community School (CCS) system for the past 16 years by regularly attending School Board Meetings, PTO at three CCS buildings, Accountability in Action task force, A+ school improvement member, New Building/community member and using that background and experience to maintain the momentum of the Board. To be involved and "give back" to Public Education and the Concord Community school "family".
What do you feel are some of the biggest issues or challenges currently facing the school board, or schools in general?
Lack of financial support is one of many challenges facing schools and every publicly funded organization as our community is still in economic recovery and Public School Funds continue to be budget cut targets.
Despite the lack of financial support, State standards and expectations along with evaluation standards continue to escalate (important note: Concord and other Elkhart County school corporations are excelling despite).
Time involved accomplishing school improvement plans, evaluation standards, and expectations balanced against student learning.
Preparing Students for their life after high school.
How would you work to address those issues if elected?
Evaluating where and how Concord Community Schools can continue to be financially resourceful.
Deliver the message to State officials regarding necessary relief to Public Schools budget with increases of financial support .
Listening to all involved regarding the amount of time necessary to achieve increased standards .

Why have you decided to run for election?

What do you feel are some of the biggest issues or challenges currently facing the school board, or schools in general?
The budget.

Last week I received a nice e-mail from Anne from Kidivist.
I immediately loved her origami mobiles. The first mobile she made for her son because she couldn't find the right piece that she really liked. Since then she sells her mobiles through her website Kidivist.
Everything is made by hand and each mobile is unique.
Take a look here and thank you Anne for showing me your lovely work.

The Eagles have announced that it will be Michael Vick -- and not Kevin Kolb -- starting on Sunday against the Jaguars.
This comes as a surprise to everyone because it was just on Monday head coach Andy Reid said Kolb would be the starter. In fact, he said that decision was "not hard at all."
Vick threw for 284 yards and a pair of touchdowns in week 2 against the Lions so the debate of who is the best choice for the Eagles has been going on for a couple of weeks.
The Eagles will conduct a 6:30 p.m. press conference explaining the move.

These drawer slides are greatPosted November 20, 2013
When building a dresser out of walnut I did not want to use the typical metal slide - they are just to commercial looking for this piece. I bought the Classic Wood Center Mount and am very thankful I did. It takes a little bit of practice to get them mounted both vertically and horizontally, but once you get them aligned, they work as smooth as silk. I love them.

These slides were great. I had to remove my old metal slides and modify the back of the drawers for width of slide but they work great. Great time saver. Don't be afraid to buy these. My wife loves her "new" drawers.
I used your very fine wood...Posted July 3, 2011
I used your very fine wood "drawer slides" to repair a couple antique dressers. They worked well with only slight modification. I cut then a little shorter.I am glad we found you on the internet. I also discovered today that a friend of mine, who is a professional cabinet maker, regularly purchases from you.Thanks for the catalog, I for see doing more business with you in the future.

If Donald Rumsfeld were caught campaigning for George W. Bush on government time — which happens to be a violation of federal law — it would have been front-page news for a month. But after the US Office of Special Counsel reported that Kathleen Sebelius was guilty of campaigning for Democrats in her official capacity as health and human services secretary, it would have taken a team of hounds to find the buried notices. Network news and major newspapers pretty much shrugged and bought the administration's party line: Nothing to see here; please move along.
In a way, you have to marvel at the press corps' collective determination not to cover something. The White House press secretary wasn't even asked about Sebelius' lawbreaking until a week after the fact.

KNOXVILLE (WATE/AP) - Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan made a campaign stop in Knoxville Thursday to raise funds and talk to supporters at a private luncheon.
Ryan arrived at McGhee Tyson Airport's TAC Air Terminal around 11:45 a.m. before heading downtown for the fundraising event at the Marriott Hotel, 500 E. Hill Avenue.
Supporters paid $1,000 a plate to attend the luncheon. Reporters were not allowed at the event and Ryan didn't speak as he got off the plane at the airport.
For those who did hear from Ryan, the VP candidate did not disappoint.
"He just said we need a new direction for our country. We're going in the wrong direction," said attendee Lee Miracle.
"He pumped us all up. He got us excited about the election," said supporter Herman Pauley.
Gov. Bill Haslam introduced Ryan at the fundraiser. Sen. Bob Corker was also in attendance.
"He got a very warm reception," said Tennessee Rep. Ryan Haynes (R) of Knoxville. "I think the fact is...they realize this is the real change the country needs."
Ryan told those who attended that Democratic President Barack Obama's policies have the country headed toward economic crisis similar to what's occurring in some European countries.
The event raised $1 million. Organizers believe that's a record amount for a political fundraiser in Knoxville.
About two dozen protesters lined the street outside the hotel, banging a drum and waving signs criticizing the Republican presidential ticket.
"Tennessee is not a Romney state," said Tennessee state Rep. Joe Armstrong (D) of Knoxville. "If you look in the primary, Santorum won Tennessee. Newt Gingrich made a
good showing here in Tennessee. So Tennesseans aren't sold on Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan."
The visit was the Wisconsin congressman's first since being named Mitt Romney's running mate in August. Ryan went to Memphis for another fundraiser Thursday.
Romney made a campaign visit to Knoxville in March at West Hills Elementary School.

The St. Louis region has many things to appreciate as it celebrates Thanksgiving.
One is Citygarden. The well-planned but slightly offbeat sculptures, plants, and fountains have transformed two downtown blocks into a fantastic gathering place. Kids dodging the water, couples strolling along with the electronic Bruce and Sarah, groups dining at the Terrace View, everyone engaging with the art it is an urban kaleidoscope.
Citygarden reflects the regions rivers and bluffs and highlights its plants. It is open, inviting, and just plain fun. Downtown St. Louis has been coming back for more than a decade. Citygarden propels it forward.
Another is completing the Highway 40/Interstate 64 project. The regions most vital artery was showing its age. It needed a complete do-over between Ballas Road on the west and Kingshighway Boulevard on the east. In between is a vastly improved interchange with Interstate 170.
The proposal to close major sections so that the work could be completed in two years rather than four or five seemed radical when it was unveiled. How would we cope? Would we survive? Could state government and its contractors bring it off?
The region coped well, survived unscathed, and the state government delivered ahead of schedule and on budget. Within two weeks, the traffic will be flowing smoothly.
So, sometime soon, take the rebuilt highway, visit Citygarden, and enjoy a more bountiful region.

April 16, 2014 /MM-prReach/ —
As expert dog groomers with decades of experience to their name, Richard and Carol Doggett know the importance of seasonal changes to a dog's coat and how proper grooming can make such a big difference to a dogs comfort and well-being.
As Spring begins in full bloom and the temperatures begin to inch upward, it is a perfect time to learn and practice dog grooming. Over winter months, pet owners will allow their canine companions coats to grow longer, which can be problematic for the pet and can cause grooming issues during the Spring. As the temperature levels go up, dogs can become uncomfortably warm and with their longer fur left to grow all Winter, Spring is the time to notice matts and tangles forming and dead hair to be shed. Therefore, it's an ideal time for new grooming students to practice their new skills and help out their furry customers.
As part of their ground-breaking dog grooming training program, 'All About Dog Grooming', the Doggett's will teach their new students how seasonal changes effect a dogs coat and how to make the most of newly taught grooming skills. Their home study program consists of a comprehensive training manual accompanied by several hours of training DVDs, that teach how to clip and scissor style the popular breeds most commonly seen by the professional dog groomer. Included also will be the ability to consult one-on-one with the Doggett's themselves, as needed. It is the perfect study format for the new or novice groomer alike.
Richard and Carol take their students by the hand and lead them from the basics on to the more complicated grooming techniques, with solid, factual teaching. An array of tips and tricks of the trade are also shared. A portion of their training manual is dedicated to planning, setting up and operating a successful business from the ground up – even for those on a limited budget. 'All About Dog Grooming' is a resource which students will want to refer back to time and time again.
Let's hear what former student, Marcy D. from Indiana has to say about her experience…
"I want to thank you so much for the materials that you offer…it was the best way for me to learn and your techniques are very easy to follow. I have to be honest…my husband said there was NO WAY I could learn to groom dogs from something I found on the internet. He does not say that now! He watched some of the vides and was very impressed! I have been grooming for over a year now, full time and it looks like I will double my income for this coming year. "
For those thinking about this pet-lovers trade as the perfect career, they'll be happy to learn that 'All About Dog Grooming' is currently offering an early Spring discount of $50.00, which prices their all inclusive training package at $249.95. Students also have the opportunity of buying now and paying nothing for six months with *PayPal's "Bill Me Later" program. All other forms of payment are also accepted.
To learn more about the Doggetts, their story and more indepth information about their training program, visit www.LearnToGroom.com

The Dolphins have erected a statue in front of their new offices honoring former coach Don Shula, and it was unveiled Sunday prior to the Pro Bowl.
The 11-foot-tall statue outside Sun Life Stadium shows Shula pumping a fist as he rides the shoulders of two of his players, replicating the celebration after the 1972 Dolphins won the Super Bowl to complete the league's only perfect season.
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell announced that the league has established a Coach Shula Award, which will honor a coach at any level who displays the integrity, achievement and positive impact on others exemplified by Shula.
In recognition of Shula's NFL-record 347 career victories as a coach, the Dolphins announced that the address of their new offices will be 347 Don Shula Drive.

That IT professionals work on vacation is as obvious as sand on a beach. Some see it as part of the job bargain, and maybe there's something to relish about being indispensable.
One recent survey found that 67 percent of senior IT professionals are expected to be available during vacation, said TEKsystems, a staffing agency that conducted the research.
[ Get expert networking how-to advice from InfoWorld's Networking Deep Dive PDF special report. | For the latest practical data center info and news, check out Paul Venezia's Deep End blog and InfoWorld's Data Center newsletter. ]
This percentage sounds low. Something in the range of 95 percent sounds more believable, but that's just a guesstimate based on telephone interviews and emails from some IT pros.
Everyone, it seems, does some work on vacation, unless they're joyriding with James Cameron 6.8 miles down into the cellphone signal-less depths of the Mariana Trench. On Mount Everest, at least, you can bring a satellite phone.
For IT pros such as Osvaldo de Lima, the CIO of ECOM Group, a 160-year-old multinational agriculture commodities trading and processing company, there is no escape from work, just accommodation.
De Lima keeps up with his emails, takes some calls, and says if he doesn't there will be too much waiting for him when he returns to the office. "[It is] to my own benefit," he said.
He will also delegate as much as possible. "Trust the team," de Lima said.
A vacation, nonetheless, says de Lima, still means he is not commuting to the office and is spending time with family. But you never fully put work aside. "That's the nature of our job; that's the profession that we chose," he said.
Brian Kelley, the CIO of Portage County IT Services in Ravenna, Ohio, said, "Work will always impede upon my vacations to some degree." Similar to de Lima, Kelley says that checking on things makes the return from vacation easier.
"By managing some work while on vacation, I can rest assured that when I return to work catching up will not be a major headache nor require that I put in long days to do so," he said.
Simon Wieczner, president and CEO of Snowbound Software, which makes document viewer technology, said vacations are "worth it, despite the interruptions."
"My goal is just to minimize the family time disrupted and remember that it would have been worse not to take the vacation at all," he said.
About 54 percent of managers expect work will be accomplished by employees during a vacation, according to a Harris Interactive survey of nearly 2,100 adults last month, commissioned by Ricoh Americas.
Elizabeth Cogswell Baskin, the CEO and executive director at Tribe, an internal communications agency, said that many employees will stay connected unless they are encouraged to do otherwise.
"When employees stay vigilantly aware and engaged 24/7, especially in the age of constant digital connection, it keeps them in a state of high alert," said Baskin. "And that keeps them from getting the necessary time to relax and recharge so they can return to work the next day or week energized and replenished."
Kyri Sarantakos, vice president of engineering at the online job-matching services TheLadders, said that at his company, when someone is on vacation they make sure that another person can cover the responsibilities.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Matt Kemp, who finished runner-up to Ryan Braun in voting for the 2011 National League Most Valuable Player award, thinks the suspended Milwaukee Brewers slugger should be stripped of the honor.
Braun finished with 388 points and 20 first-place votes, to 332 and 10 for Kemp. Major League Baseball attempted to suspend Braun following a positive test that October for elevated testosterone, but the penalty was overturned by an arbitrator who ruled Braun's urine sample was handled improperly.
Braun agreed Monday to a 65-game suspension for unspecified violations of baseball's drug rules and labor contract.
Asked Tuesday whether the award should be taken away from Braun, Kemp responded: "I mean, yeah, I do," pausing and adding, "I feel like it should be, but that's not for me to decide, you know?"
Kemp said people feel "betrayed" by Braun.

Hanky Panky Structured Soft-Cup Bra-Top Camisole 19 19
Beautiful style and workmanship I like it; but did not realize soft cup means no support. May 21, 2014
Love, love This is second one. First ordered in black. So comfortable. Latest purchase in beige, not on sale but glad I bought. April 16, 2014
Not very structured I thought the bra top of this camisole would be more structured and would provide coverage - which it does not. It is pretty and soft but not what I was looking for - particularly for the price. Sending it back. February 12, 2014
Good camisole Does run large- but I can make it work. I wear a 36b bra and got the camisole in 36 B and the cups are big. Otherwise I like the camisole. I'll probably wear it more in the summer when I don't want bra straps showing. November 3, 2013
Beautiful cami! This is my first HP cami and I am not disappointed. It is very comfortable, soft, not scratchy, and gorgeous. A bit pricey but got it on sale so am happy. I wear a 32B bra and both the XS and S fit but decided to go with the XS because the fabric stretches so easily. My husband loves it too! March 23, 2013
Love them! These soft-cup bra-top camisoles are perfectly feminine and comfortable. So pretty and have to have more!! Adjustable strap is a plus! 34B and the Small fits very well. December 11, 2012

Taj Mahal Dawn, Agra, Utlar Pradesh

Taj Mahal Dawn, Agra, Utlar Pradesh
The Taj Mahal has been considered as one of the eight wonders of the world. It is constructed of white marble with extensive gem inlays. The color changes with the sky and time of day. This view is from the upper deck along the Yamuna River, taken around 6:30am. The darker buildings in the distance are the "Guest House." It is open sunrise to sunset. Avoid crowds and get in the queue before opening time.
This is one of the popular hotel rooftops to take pictures of the Taj Mahal, also a good place to tak...

Asia is the biggest continent on Earth, a darling little gem floating around in space.
Hm, what is Asia? Who's in on it?
China and India are safe bets for Asian nations. Korea, Japan, Thailand, you're fine.
Europe? No. Europe would sort of be on the "Asian continent" if not for those pesky Ural mountains dividing things up in the middle, and then also the whole lineage of kings and wealth and nations and the EU and all that "give me my respect" stuff.
Russia would probably be happiest as its own continent, so for now we'll leave it in "Eurasia" and just hope the natural gas supplies keep flowing.
Pakistan and Afghanistan are dang close to Asia, but politically they show up in "Middle East" news stories an awful lot. Verdict: Eurasia.
I guess we'll actually have to consider everything from Turkey on eastward to be "Eurasian", although the moniker seems overlappitory of the territory.
The Asian economy is now officially raging like a wild furnace of lava that consumes everything in its path. Japan has had the largest individual economy in Asia for decades, but it is forecast that both India and China will outstrip Japan within twenty years.
China is the largest holder of United States debt and is positioned to become the world's next superpower, provided that Godzilla doesn't return and decide to stomp everybody back into the Shang Dynasty.

This is the driver for the

Cash boost for Flookburgh school's wildlife area
11:32am Wednesday 19th February 2014 in News
CHILDREN at Flookburgh CE Primary School think that learning outside the classroom is 'tree-mendous' after receiving a boost to their wildlife area from the Co-operative.
The donation of £410 supports school plans to develop its wildlife area with mini-beasts and night time creatures designed to foster knowledge and understanding of the environment.
Head teacher Chris Brooksbank said: "We are delighted with this support. It is a big boost to our fund-raising and supports our aim to continually enhance the facilities and resources available for children. The wildlife area is a great way for our children to understand more about animals and nature in a fun way."
Other local groups helped by the Co-op membership community fund include Ulverston Rangers FC, which received £500, and Swarthmoor Community Group.

Ghostface Killah, DOOM, Chino XL @ The Forum
Hip hop has grown to attract a broad range of listeners. Few hip hop artists embody this diversity as much as Ghostface Killah and DOOM. The Forum was a sea of snapbacks, hipsters and hardcore hip hop heads for one of the year's most lyrical events, Rap City. While proceedings took a bit of time to pick up, the electric energy inside the venue was palpable from the start.
Following opener Killah Priest, the masked DOOM made his way to the stage after what seemed like a relatively brief wait for a hip hop gig. In some ways it was an odd choice to have DOOM on so early, as he would seem the logical lead-in directly before Ghostface. Living up to his on-record persona the revered MC breezed through his catalogue of solo classics and collaborations (Madvillain, DangerDoom) with all of the quirky charm you would expect. While his mangled diction didn't translate as well live during parts of the set, it was enough to keep DOOM disciples nourished.
Recognised as one of hip hop's finest wordsmiths, while remaining criminally underrated in mainstream circles, Chino XL proved that he's still got it with a blistering set. At times it appeared that Chino may have lost some punters with his complex rhyme patterns. However after a stunning freestyle, where he referenced everyone from Chris Brown and Rihanna to the Queen, Chino had the whole crowd fired up.
With the stage set, the beloved Ghostface Killah made his entrance. From the moment the classic Criminology blared out of the speakers it was clear who the crowd was there to see. Tony Starks did not disappoint as he delivered every verse with pure energy. The atmosphere at a fever pitch he rocked through a crowd participation edition of Protect Ya Neck, where members of the audience were brought on stage. As Ghostface said his thanks and made his way to the merch stand to sign autographs, you were left with a sense that you were part of something special. While it seemed to be over very quickly you still felt that you got bang for your buck.
Photo credit: Ben Clement
LOVED: The enthusiasm of the performers.
HATED: The constant pleas of "we've travelled all the way here to perform for you tonight" in an effort to get more of a crowd response.
DRANK: James Boags.

Summer cleaning yielded this gem: a 1999 Mets Magazine featuring Rickey Henderson on the cover. Rickey's "mom jeans" style of wearing his uniform pants is displayed prominently. The free John Olerud poster promised on the cover has been lost to the ages, unfortunately. This is the scorecard and program on sale during May 1999 at Shea Stadium, specifically from the May 29th game which the Mets lost 8-7 to the Diamondbacks. Four players homered, including Olerud and Benny Agbayani, who was in the midst of becoming a cult hero. Byung-Hyun Kim made his MLB debut that day, striking out Mike Piazza to end the game.
