A lot has changed in downtown Cape Girardeau over the past year.
Broadway was shut down for six months for renovations, several new businesses have opened, and the casino has brought more traffic to downtown.
And downtown streets will be filled Friday night for Old Town Cape's annual Downtown Christmas Open House.
The event is designed to promote downtown businesses and showcase the recent renovations.
But it's not all about shopping as there are events for kids as well.
There will be caroling, free wagon rides, free pictures with Santa and other activities for kids in Santa's Workshop on Main Street.
Participating businesses will have in-store events.
People can register for a $1,500 downtown shopping spree. All you have to do is register at one of the participating businesses.
The winners name will be drawn next Tuesday.
Participating businesses include: Bilderbach Art Plaza, Buckner Brewing Co., C.P. McGinty Jewelers, Cup N Cork, eDen Spa and Salon, Hotshots, Hutson's Fine Furniture, Jayson Jewelers, Pastimes Antiques, Renaissance, Riverfront Gifts & Collectibles, Sloan and Themis, Somewhere in Time Antiques, Stash, Sweet Designs Boutique, and Zickfield's Jewelers.

Randy, I apologize a bit for my initial impressions. I was a bit tipsy when I wrote that up. That's the problem with drinking less, your tolerance goes down and a little goes a looooooong way. I was just happy I didn't commission a custom knife while under the influence. I promise to give a better write up once I have tried it out some more.

Three gas finds in the block declared 'commercial'
Decisions on investments over billions of dollar on the country's biggest gas fields – D6 - were taken today at a meeting which started 11:00 a.m.
The Management Committee that oversees operations of Reliance Industries KG-D6 block considered and conditionally accepted the budget for three years starting 2010-11. It also conditionally approved 'declaration of commerciality' for three finds in the block.
It is being termed as 'conditional' because the contractor was asked to clarify certain issues. Senior officials said that, "there has been decisions at the meeting…some budget was approved. Some clarifications have been sought, which the contractor has sought time for."
Declaration of commerciality was considered for D-29, D-30, and D-31.
The Management Committee had to adopt the audited accounts for pending three years starting 2008-09. The audited accounts that have to be adopted are over $1.5 billion, sources said.
This meeting was significant, as was close on the heels of Petroleum Minister S. Jaipal Reddy promising to the contractors' expeditious clearances for investment proposals.
Gas output from Reliance Industries operated D6 block today was 29 mmscmd against the projected 80 mmscmd. Asked on the ongoing management committee meeting of D6 block, the Minister said today: all technical and administrative support needed will be extended to the contractor.
On whether any conditions have put for granting approval to the D6 contractors, he said the conditions have been put by CAG, the operator was informed about it. The management committee will address all the issues, approvals will be granted subject conditions, he said.
Delayed approvals had led to the company's board putting on back burner all future investment proposals of Reliance Industries Exploration & Production Group.

CHICAGO (AP) -- Illinois' transportation secretary is defending the proposed $1.3 billion Illiana Expressway against criticism that it's a risky investment.
Ann Schneider tells The Associated Press Tuesday that over the course of the proposed 35-year partnership with a private investor, the tollway could generate up to $500 million in profit for Illinois. She says that would be reinvested in other projects.
Besides an estimated 9,000 construction jobs, Schneider says the link between Indiana and Illinois could attract intermodal shipping facilities to the area south of Chicago in rural Will County.
A vote on Thursday by the region's planning agency will determine if the project moves ahead.
Illinois has already spent $40 million studying the project. Schneider says upfront costs could reach $300 million and it could take 18 years to break even.

Trying to renew subscription on second computer with different e-mail. Won't accept Product Key from renewal subscription on first computer???? Subscription allows 3 computers.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hello Raym0nd and welcome!
If I understand your situation correctly, the product key is tied to a specific Norton Account which is defined by the email address.
Is there any reason you cannot use the same Norton account on the second computer?
Norton Internet Security • Comcast NSS • Norton Security Beta | XP SP3 • Windows 7 Professional SP1 x64
• PLEASE, BACKUP or EXPORT your Identity Safe Data on a regular basis •
"Anyone who isn't confused really doesn't understand the situation." Edward R. Murrow
Hi Ray
Are you using the Product Key or the Renewal Code?
If you use the renewal code on the second computer which is already used in the first computer it'll not take it. You have to goto support --->Subscription status that'll sync the number of days if the second and the computer is already activated with the same product key as of the first computer.
OK. I used the gmail account from the successful renewal and entered the Product Key from the confirmation email. It says "Invalid Product Key" when I try Express Renewal on the second computer.
Can you please sign-in to your Norton Account and find the Norton360 that you had renewed and click the smal arrow next to the Norton, you can see the Product Key. check the Product key you're having with you.
Also the Product Key for the Norton360 will start with ' T ' and the Product Key will be 25 characters Alpha-numeric.
Thank you, Subash, for the clue on how to get the second and third computers to update/sync with the new subscription information. That is very simple.
I am going to need to renew Norton 360 soon, and all I will have to do is click on renew on my main computer, then click Support, Subscription Status on the others to get them to sync with the new subscription time. Great! I did not know how to proceed, so appreciate the tip.
Now if I can just figure out how to set up Auto Renewal ... I have NIS 2012 set to auto renew, but didn't do that when I bought Norton 360 a year ago (I run N360 on 3 computers and NIS 2012 on another 3 computers).
Win7HP•64bit•SP1 ... N360 Premier v 18.104.22.168 (3) ... N360 Everywhere (5) ... NMS v 18.104.22.1680 ... NMU v 126.96.36.199 ... Norton Snap 184.108.40.206
Evidently, we renewed for a different product than we previously had. So I spent 45 minutes online with support while tech uninstalled old Norton and installed Norton 360. I would have never got that done correctly. All is well now. Hopefully next year it will be easier.

Guidance on Working with Subcontractors of Animal Research:
As the Principal Investigator of a primary grant or contract awarded to WFU, who is subcontracting animal research to an institution other than WFU, you are responsible for monitoring the appropriate use of animals at the subcontracting facility. The following is provided to assist you in this task.
1. The subcontracting institution must officially agree to terms similar to the language below in either the subcontract itself or by some other means.
"All animal work at subcontractors will be reviewed and approved by an appropriate Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC). Wake Forest University (WFU) will provide the oversight monitoring of the animal research performed at its direct subcontractor (SUB), as required by the granting agency, federal regulations and accrediting bodies. The WFU Principal Investigator (PI) will confirm that the project has been reviewed and approved by the SUB's IACUC, or other appropriate body, at the outset of the project and at least annually thereafter. Protocol amendments will be reviewed and approved by the SUB's IACUC prior to the start of work. Any significant deficiencies noted by the SUB's IACUC or SUB's PI at semi-annual inspections or any other time that directly affects the study protocol or welfare of the study animals will be communicated in a timely manner to the WFU PI. SUB will communicate serious and continuing noncompliance with U.S. federal animal welfare regulations to the WFU PI in a timely manner. Changes in status of Association for the Assessment and Accreditation of Laboratory Animal Care International (AAALAC) accreditation or Public Health Service (PHS) Assurance must be provided to the WFU PI in at timely manner. SUB will ensure that secondary subcontractors to SUB, under this subaward that perform research on live vertebrate animals, are accredited by the AAALAC. If secondary subcontractor is not AAALAC accredited, then SUB will treat the secondary subcontractor as an offsite facility and provide appropriate oversight, including consideration of site visits to secondary subcontractor."
2. The subcontractor must complete the form, WFU Subcontracted Research Involving Animals Form, for you as the PI to retain in your files. If the subcontracting facility is either foreign (answers YES on Item 6.e), NOT PHS Assured (NO on 6.b) or NOT AAALAC accredited (NO on 6.a), the WFU PI must submit a copy of the form to the WFU IACUC for review and approval.

Georgetown police have arrested two people in connection with a robbery Monday at the Citizens Bank on Exchange Street and they are possibly responsible for a robbery last month at Anderson Brothers Bank on North Fraser Street.
Georgetown Police Capt. Nelson Brown said Ryan Bonneau, 46, and Leonard Riley, 31 - both of Charleston - are charged in connection with the bank robbery of The Citizens Bank on Exchange Street Monday morning.
Investigators recovered the stolen money, disguises and two handguns, Brown said.
They are also being investigated in connection with the Anderson Brothers Bank robbery that occurred last month, said Brown. The Charleston City Police believe they are responsible for a bank robbery in Charleston.
Brown said at about 9:17 a.m. Monday two African-American men walked in the Citizens Bank armed with a gun.
The men demanded cash, Brown said. After they were given an undisclosed amount of money, they fled the scene in a vehicle.
Brown said that car was found unoccupied on North Hazard Street.
Brown said investigators received word about the location of the vehicle the two were in and started following it. The pair was taken into custody at the Wilco station at the corner of Highway 17 and St. James Street.
On Feb. 12, two black males walked into the Anderson Brothers Bank on North Fraser Street, presented a gun and demanded money. Brown said they were given an undisclosed amount of cash and ran out the door.
The vehicle they were in was a tan Cadillac Deville.
No one was hurt in either robbery, Brown said.
Along with armed robbery, Bonneau is charged with possession of a stolen vehicle. Brown said the car they drove to and away from Citizens Bank Monday was stolen.
Brown said additional charges against Bonneau and Riley are expected.

You have probably noticed those ads on TV encouraging you to try some medication for a health condition. These medications promise relief from various problems, such as gastric reflux, high cholesterol, erectile dysfunction, and insomnia. Perhaps you've even thought about asking your doctor whether one of these drugs would help your medical condition.
Or maybe you have felt confused. More and more medications are on the market, but is a "pill" always the best way to fix what ails you?
To sort this out, it might help to know a little more about the background of these TV advertising practices, known as direct-to-consumer advertising (DTCA) of prescription medications. Only the United States and New Zealand allow direct-to-consumer advertising of prescription medications.
The debate on the appropriateness of DTCA began immediately upon the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) 1997 decision to allow such practice. Proponents argue that DTCA provides an educational service that patients would not otherwise have. Opponents respond that DTCA is misleading and entices patients to self-diagnose and to ask for medications they may not need or that have less expensive alternatives.
There are doctors on both sides of this issue.
To be educational, an ad should be balanced, accurate, objective, and should not promote unsafe practices. Although this may seem intuitive, it is often not the case. In a recent study, Dominick Frosch and colleagues completed a comprehensive analysis of DTCA. They found that the pharmaceutical companies used two major persuasive styles: Appeals, and Lifestyle Approaches.
Many ads use appeal by showing attractive, happy people enjoying life. An illustrative example is a current ad for injectable insulin to treat diabetes in which an attractive middle-aged woman rides her motorcycle on the open road to meet her friends for coffee and camaraderie. However, the use of injectable insulin to treat diabetes instead of oral medications leads to lower blood sugar episodes - and that can cause many side effects, especially seizures. Certainly not what one would want to happen while riding a motorcycle! In addition, this ad implies that insulin is the only way to control your diabetes and be happy when, in actuality, diet and exercise are the most important components of blood sugar control in a patient with adult onset, Type 2 diabetes.
Lifestyle ads tend to show a patient with a particular problem engaged in physical activity. In a recent statin ad for low cholesterol medication, a world-renowned physician was shown jogging with his son. The implication was that without the medicine he was advertising, he would not be able to do this, which of course is not true. In addition, he stated that the drug he was promoting was the most-studied of its class in the world. Might sound nice, but this has absolutely nothing to do with the use, quality or safety of the drug from the patient perspective. This ad has since been cancelled pending congressional probes into concerns that it failed to encourage patients to talk with their physicians about cardiovascular disease, the number one cause of death in the United States.
There is a lot of misdirection in DTCA. For example, a current ad for a nasal steroid proudly proclaims that its product is the only one FDA-approved for all the symptoms of allergy. This statement is irrelevant. All nasal steroid sprays treat all the symptoms of allergy. The only difference is that this particular pharmaceutical company is the only one that paid to do a study so that they could say so.
Most of the drugs you see in DTCA are for brand name drugs that are losing market share to generic drugs within their class. An example of this would be the ad for a combination drug which treats both blood pressure and cholesterol. This is only a brand name drug because it is a combination pill. The two components of the drug (one for blood pressure and one for cholesterol) are comprised of drug classes with available generics. With very rare exceptions, generic drugs are every bit as beneficial as brand name and a lot less expensive.
In 2005, pharmaceutical companies in the United States spent $1.19 billion on TV advertising in an attempt to influence the public's thought process as to which prescription medication to take, and for what problem. A Harvard University study found that every $1 the pharmaceutical industry spent on DTCA in 2000 resulted in an additional $4.20 in drug sales. A 2005 report to Congress affirmed that of the 12 leading brand-name drugs with DTCA campaigns, 10 recorded sales in excess of $1 billion annually.
Some studies have suggested that DTCA may motivate consumers to ask better questions of their healthcare providers. This improved communication has in some cases uncovered previously unrecognized and untreated medical conditions. Fostering open and well-informed dialogue between patients and their doctors has the potential for improving health outcomes if it leads to significant health behavior changes, regardless of whether or not the individual is treated with the advertised medication.
It is important to keep in mind, however, that TV ads have a lower standard for disclosure of information than print advertising. Due to the time limitations imposed in broadcasting, TV drug ads can not fully disclose all the risks and benefits that must be described in detail in a printed advertisement. Although the FDA requires that TV drug ads provide fair balance with regards to risks and benefits, only "major risks information" must be revealed. Concern has been raised that DTCA downplays harmful side effects of drugs while promoting their alleged benefits.
The bottom line with DTCA is to keep in mind that the purpose of the ad is to get you to purchase a specific medication. When watching such ads, it is educational to pay attention to the symptoms discussed and to the disease that causes them. If the ad provides a source of additional product information, you may want to review drug information from other credible resources as well.
Remember, the best way to treat your health-related condition is to start with an open-minded discussion with your physician. It could be that lifestyle change is all you need to achieve the health effect you want.

My buddy Gord Trail has been restoring his QA36A for the last couple of years. Extended time in the restore process equates to extended enjoyment. During the beginning phase of the project, Gord and made some of the key missing parts but we didn't get them all. We are still missing a couple and kinda need measurements so we can make them. So are have not seen them for sale, so fabrication is the likely avenue.
QA36A Snow Thrower Housing, Universal Joints & Auger
Item # 1 IH Part # 548-193-R1 Shield, Universal -For QA 36A & QA 36B Snow Throwers
We need the measurements of this part so we can get the snow thrower ready for winter. Gord has it all reassembled now, it has been put through the electrolysis tank and has been painted. It is really sharp. Pics probably Friday or Saturday, depending on schedules and the weather.
There are two other parts that we are curious about and would consider making provided we can get the measurements. These are
Item # 23 IH Part # 542-845-R1 Rod, Chute Deflector Side
Item # 24 IH Part # 543-154-R1 Rod, Chute Deflector Center
These would be interesting parts to make if we can get the dimensions.
Thanks all, I appreciate.

Sometimes the games go strictly according to the chalk. For example, Saturday's Division Series matinée between the A's and the Tigers; Oakland's Jarrod Parker pitched well, but Detroit's Justin Verlander pitched better.
Saturday night's game wasn't one of those. The chalk said fantastic pitchers duel, Johnny Cueto vs. Matt Cain.
The chalk wasn't any good.
Cincinnati's Cueto reportedly suffered back spasms before the game; with his eighth pitch in the first inning, he was forced to leave the proceedings. Reliever Sam LeCure took over for Cueto, and also pitched the second frame before getting replaced by Mat Latos, making the first relief appearance of his career. Cueto and LeCure didn't give up any runs in their two innings; Latos gave up one in his four innings, coming on Buster Posey's homer in the sixth.
Meanwhile, strange things were happening to Matt Cain, who entered the contest having made three postseason starts in his career without allowing an earned run. Yeah: 0.00 ERA. In the third inning with a runner aboard, though, Cain hung a curveball and this happened:
In case you can't guess from that, Phillilps launched a two-run homer over the left-field fence.
Hey, it happens. But in the very next inning, Jay Bruce yanked one of Cain's change-ups 436 feet to give the Reds a 3-0 lead. It was just the second time in the last two years that Cain had given up two home runs in a home game; the other time was this summer, also against the Reds (that one was significantly more bizarre, though, as the hitters were shortstop Zack Cozart and pitcher Mike Leake).
With the Giants down 3-0 in the sixth, Cain got lifted for a pinch-hitter despite having thrown only 75 pitches. His replacement on the mound, unheralded George Kontos, chipped in with a couple of scoreless innings. Meanwhile, the Giants finally got on the board when Posey homered.
But that single run was all they would get. Lefty Sean Marshall blanked them in the seventh, and righty Jonathan Broxton wriggled out of a two-out jam in the eighth by striking out Gregor Blanco with a full-count fastball that just clipped the corner of the strike zone. And in the ninth, of course, Aroldis Chapman took over. And it wasn't even a save situation, as the Reds made it 5-1 in the ninth with a couple of runs of Santiago Casilla, one of them scoring when Phillips laced an RBI single.
When Chapman finally took the mound in his non-save situation, he was awfully shaky. Pinch-hitter Joaquin Arias led off with a single, and pinch-hitter Xavier Nady walked on four pitches, none of them particularly close to the strike zone. That brought a visit from Dusty Baker, which seemed to settle Chapman, who retired Angel Pagan on a pop-up.
But then Chapman walked Marco Scutaro on a full-count slider, and things started to seem serious! Glances were exchanged! Phone calls made! Text messages texted! Bullpens bullpened!
That's when Chapman just started throwing fastballs. First to Pablo Sandoval, who popped to Phillips. And then to Buster Posey; one of those found its way to the backstop, with all three runners moving up one base. Ultimately, though, Chapman's fastball was too much for Posey, who struck out on a high one. It seemed to take forever. But it was over: Reds 5, Giants 2.
In fairness to the Giants, they hit in some awfully tough luck. In the fourth, Brandon Belt -- who made a phenomenal defensive play (video) in the first inning -- sent a rocket toward the right-field corner, only to see Joey Votto make a leaping grab and double off a baserunner. In the sixth, Belt was victimized again when left fielder Ryan Ludwick made a diving catch. In the seventh, Marco Scutaro drove a liner into deep left, where Ludwick barely made the play. And in the eighth, Pablo Sandoval led off with a liner directly at shortstop Zack Cozart.
Not to make excuses or anything. It was just one of those games, and there are a lot of them, that easily could have gone the other way.
With Latos on the shelf for a while, the Reds are reportedly hoping that Cueto can start Game 3, in Cincinnati next week. If Cueto can't pitch, though, they'll presumably have the option of replacing him on the roster with No. 5 starter Mike Leake.

Roderick Heath on "We Are the Best!"; The whiplash of journalism; Hollywood's secret sequel economy; Chatting with Seth Meyers; Kirk Douglas on Lauren Bacall.
BBC America offers another sci-fi show from the great Glen Morgan that's not-so-great.
When we're discussing who to invite to a dinner party, my wife Chaz and I sometimes use the shorthand, "good value for money," which indicates guests expected to be entertaining. The Siegels would qualify.
Let me just place some background on the table. David Siegel is a billionaire who founded Westgate Resorts, "the largest time-share company on the planet," I believe he says. Jackie is his third wife, and although she is clearly a trophy and has the boobs to prove it, she is also the mother of seven of his eight children, was born into humble circumstances, refused to become somebody's secretary and earned an engineering degree instead.
Their new home in Florida has 10 kitchens and a bowling alley. I never learned how many rooms it has, but while it's under construction, she gives a tour to Lauren Greenfield, the film's director — and when Greenfield asks, "Will this be your bedroom?" Jackie says, "Oh, no … this is my closet."
Siegel is in the middle of constructing a towering Westgate flagship in Las Vegas when the housing crisis strikes and almost wipes him out. There is rich irony as he complains that greedy bankers tempted him with cheap money to take out loans he couldn't repay — which is exactly what his sales force has been persuading time-share customers to do.
It's rather endearing that Siegel will look straight at the camera and make such a complaint, unaware of or indifferent to its irony. He seems inclined to tell the truth. He boasts that his money got George W. Bush elected, and then adds with a twinkle in his eyes, "by extra-legal means." He confesses that he lost some enthusiasm for Bush after his invasion of Iraq.
But it's Jackie who steals the show. She isn't one of your snobby creatures from reality TV. She has a warm smile, a confiding manner and a sort of "I Love Lucy" ditziness as she cluelessly wrestles with the problem of a home with seven kids in residence, countless domestic staff and innumerable little white dogs. When the market crashes, the Siegels put the house up for sale, and David struggles desperately to save his Las Vegas tower. All but one domestic is laid off, and dog poop relentlessly builds up. David instructs Jackie to cut way, way down on her compulsive shopping, so she switches to Wal-Mart, where nevertheless she loads up shopping carts with so many needless purchases, it takes a fleet of SUVs to haul them home.
Some of Jackie's dialogue is so good it would distinguish a sitcom. Talking to the clerk behind the rental car counter, she asks, "What's the name of my driver?" David, meanwhile, retreats into a sort of man cave, his study with its big-screen TV, where he watches the financial news, telephones bankers and investors, and vows he will save the Las Vegas property, whatever it takes him.
You can't hate these people, and it's clear that Lauren Greenfield didn't — although, to be sure, they were giving her incredible access to a lifestyle most people, even "rich" people, can barely imagine. What you can do is deplore them. It's a shame they haven't thought of more productive and useful ways to spend their fortune. Still, to be sure, their fortune is based on income from time-share buyers who had the same problem.

What is MHEG-5?
MHEG is a complete standard for interactive TV and was developed by the ISO Multimedia and Hypermedia information coding Expert Group (MHEG) and the Digital Audio Video Council (DAVIC) from 1995. It is standardised in ISO/IEC 13522-5 "Coding of Multimedia and Hypermedia Information".
MHEG-5 was developed to support the user interface for DAVIC interactive services and video on demand. It was adopted by the UK Digital TV Group (DTG) in 1997 and deployed on the OnDigital, later Freeview digital terrestrial platform in the UK with a UK Profile covering video, text, graphics and the DSM-CC broadcast carousel system.
MHEG-5 has its own simple object orientated programming language which enables:
- control over the presentation of content made up from audio, video, text and still graphics objects
- user interaction with the application
- support of real time video and audio presentation
The UK Profile defines the complete environment from applications, playout, signalling and the receiver API or middleware. A comprehensive conformance test suite is available from DTG Testing in the UK.
The UK Profile has now evolved to version 1.06 and as of the end of 2007, over 27m receivers including MHEG-5 UK Profile middleware had been shipped into the UK market. There is no known IPR associated with MHEG-5, which has kept costs down and enabled manufacturers to include it in all receivers.
Other countries around the world have adapted the UK Freeview model for their own markets and also adopted MHEG-5 middleware with country-specific profiles. The New Zealand profile extends the UK Profile to include extra Maori characters, the Hong Kong Profile supports Traditional Chinese characters. Draft profiles have been also defined for India, Singapore and China.
The UK DTG has recently completed extensions to support HD services that will be used on the Freesat platform in the UK from May 2008. An 'Interaction Channel' extension has also been defined to enable IP connectivity in addition to broadcast delivery of applications and content and PVR integration is also in development.
MHEG-5 is promoted internationally by IMPALA - the International MHEG Promotion Alliance. See www.impala.org for more details.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- More money, more winning and a deal with Nike. That's part of the plan for improving sports at George Washington University.
The school unveiled a five-year strategic plan Friday. It announces more fundraising, more spending, the addition of sailing as a varsity sport and an agreement with Nike to provide uniforms and equipment for all 23 of the university's sports teams.
The plan was put together by a special committee that's been working for a year. It was led by New York Yankees President and GW alumnus Randy Levine, who cited winning as the best marketing ploy of all.
The committee decided not to add football. The school also plans to stay in the Atlantic 10 conference.

A Didier Drogba shot off the cross bar in the 20th minute rebounded to Romaric, who headed Cote d'Ivoire to a 2-0 lead.
Drogba's shot from 6 years out rattled the crossbar and bounced out to Romaric, who elevated to head Cote d'Ivoire to a two goal lead from eight yards out.
Cote d'Ivoire maintains a slim chance of advancing to the knockout stage but needs to reduce a now seven goal disadvantage in goal difference to Portgual. Portugal, currently drawn 0-0 with Brazil, must also lose.

PERU — A measuring tape is a good tool to teach pedestrian safety, Christol Mastic has found.
At Peru Central School recently, she had a student at each end of the tape, measuring out how long it takes for a car to stop once the driver hits the brake.
"This is with a brand-new car" and perfect road conditions, she says.
At 30 mph, it's 38 feet. At 40 mph, it's 68.
"They never get to 55 mph," Mastic said, describing the students' incredulity when they realize the stopping time could take a car all the way down a school corridor and out the door.
"If I need 68 feet to stop but see (a person) at 52 feet, I can't stop in time," she tells them.
Using the measuring tape offers a visual lesson, Mastic said, that she thinks sticks better.
After many months of getting the word out of about pedestrian-safety practices, she knows sharing her personal story plays an important role in persuading her audiences.
Her son, Brandon, and four teens were killed on Nov. 15, 2011, in a horrific car/pedestrian accident.
Brandon, 17, with his girlfriend Samantha Donah, was driving his car on rural Peasleeville Road in Peru as twilight fell when it struck two pedestrians walking in the roadway.
Dat. T. Ong, 17, of Vietnam and Chu "Allen" Xiong, 18, of China were wearing dark, non-reflective clothes as they walked with their backs to traffic, police determined.
"If you don't want to live in my horrible world — and I pray you never will — don't (ignore the rules of the road)," Mastic tells students.
She continues, through the Brandon Sorrell Scholarship Foundation, to talk to cross-country and track teams around the area; she has given out hundreds of florescent, safety-green T-shirts that she prays each student will wear.

Montpelier, Vermont - July 24, 2008
Efforts to pass a Jessica's Law in Vermont are quickly gaining support across the state.
Jessica's Law carries a mandatory minimum sentence of 25 years in prison for anyone convicted of sexually assaulting a child.
Thousands have become interested in the law since 12-year-old Brooke Bennett of Braintree was kidnapped and murdered. Her uncle, Michael Jacques, 42, has been charged in her kidnapping. He was released from probation 7 years early for kidnapping and raping a Rutland teen in 1992.
One petition circulated in Middlesex was signed by 2,000 supporters. A separate petition drive launched by Lt. Gov. Brian Dubie, R-Vermont, is garnering widespread support as well.
Some prosecutors don't like Jessica's Law because they say it ties their hands and makes plea bargains less likely.
Leaders in the effort to pass a Jessica's Law have set a rally for Saturday in St. Albans from noon to 2 p.m. in Taylor Park.

Fantastic Voyage: 10 Easy Ways to Guarantee a Blissful CommuteBy Sarah Stevenson
Ah, the joys of commuting . . . For some reason, we live in a society in which we all need to be at work at the exact same time. Thanks to this, we also live in a society where we all need to deal with road rage, traffic, construction, and yo-yos who never should have received a license in the first place. While you don't have control over these stress-inducing obstacles outside of your vehicle, what happens inside your vehicle is entirely up to you. Here are a few simple tricks to turn stress into bliss during your commutes.
- Just breathe. Breathing is such a key component in releasing stress from the human body. With your mouth closed, take a deep inhale and allow your stomach to expand, making space for the lungs to fill completely. This not only gives your entire body all the oxygen it needs, it also opens up tiny pores that line the walls of your lungs that store toxins, old blood, and stale oxygen. When you breathe as deeply as possible, you open them up, flush them out, and fill them up with nice clean blood and oxygen. Now comes the exhale (my favorite part). Open your mouth to release a long deep exhale. Sometimes it even feels good to let out a sigh. Imagine you're releasing all your worries and stresses with the breath exiting the body. Calm bodies = Happy drivers.
- Exercise. WHAT? Yup . . . you can indeed exercise in your car without causing a pile up. Here's how to get a nice, firm butt on your way to work: flex your gluteus muscles, hold for 8 to 10 seconds, breathing normally, then slowly release and relax. Repeat 8 to 12 times or until your muscles are tired. You can also slip some Kegel exercises in there as well. This pelvic floor exercise named after Dr. Arnold Kegel consists of contracting and relaxing the muscles that form part of the pelvic floor—the muscles you contract when you have to pee but have to hold it. These exercises tone up your internal muscle structure and can even increase sexual satisfaction for both men and women.
- Stretching. A great way to relieve stress held in your body is to stretch. Circle your shoulders around clockwise 8 to 10 times, then rotate the circles in the other direction. This will help release tension in the shoulders and upper back. You can even loosen up a sore neck quite simply by tilting your right ear toward your right shoulder. Drop the left shoulder down as far as you can to intensify the stretch. Take several deep breaths (the longer you stay in this stretch the more it releases). When one side is done, do the next side.
Also, your hands can get kind of cramped when you white knuckle the steering wheel for long periods of time, so take one hand off the steering wheel (when it's safe of course), spread your fingers out as wide as possible, and inhale. On the exhale, make a tight fist, imagining that you are squeezing the air out of your lungs with your hands.
- Aromatherapy. The Department of Health Science at Japan's Osaka Kyoiku University conducted a study in December 2001 testing the effectiveness of aromatherapy on stress. Lavender odorants were associated with significant levels of reduced stress. Scents like eucalyptus, chamomile, and vanilla are also related with calm, peaceful feelings. Many beauty supply companies make aromatherapy diffusers that you can plug into your lighter or clip on to the air vents in your car. You can also purchase a little jar of aromatherapy oil or a sachet at most health food stores. It's easy to keep in your purse, car, office, or home. Bring it close to your nose and take a deep breath in, then breathe out, releasing the tension and stress from your body.
- Let out a nice scream. Hint: Nobody will hear you. YELL your loudest. Imagine a teapot. The water gets warmer and warmer until eventually it starts to boil. That poor little kettle can't hold it in any longer; it has to SCREAM!!!! (Once it screams, you turn off the heat and, voilá, you get to enjoy a nice hot cup of chamomile.) See yourself as that teapot. When you feel like you just can't take it any longer, let out a loud SCREAM!
- Music. I can't tell you how many times I've missed my exit because I'm lost in the experience of a great song. Music can lift your spirits and flood you with memories in such a blissful way. When I know I'm going on a long drive, I often make a playlist on my iPhone® specifically for that trip. You can also use Pandora® or a similar personalized internet radio service; just log on, plug your device into the auxiliary port, and you're on an amazing music adventure. And if you don't happen to have any of these gadgets, there's this thing called "radio" that I hear can offer some interesting musical choices . . .
- Take in a good book. Don't get me wrong. I'm not suggesting you read while driving. There is this amazing invention called the "audio book." Check it out. So far, I've learned skills like how to meet people like me in 90 seconds or less, as well as how to think and grow rich—all while braving the northbound 405 on a congested Monday morning. Although I tend towards nonfiction, there's no rule that says you can't have a fictional adventure during your morning commute. It'll turn something that seems dreadful into something adventurous and educational.
- Smile at fellow commuters. The simple act of smiling releases chemicals in the body that not only reduce stress but also promote a healthy immune system. When you smile at someone they typically smile back, which is also a great stress reliever and positive reinforcement for you to smile more. In fact, several years ago, I smiled at a handsome driver next to me in traffic and, eventually, he became my boyfriend.
- Enjoy the scenery. Investigate the sights around you. Nature, the sky, clouds, the sun, the moon, trees, birds, bridges, buildings, cars, and people. Sometimes people can be the most entertaining scenery of all. You can even liven up another person's commute by livening up the scenery yourself. I love it when I am singing my heart out in my car and the driver next to me looks over (sure he has humiliated me by catching me singing). I turn to him and finish singing the song with all the passion I can muster up. I typically get a roaring laugh as a response.
- Positive affirmations. I like to place positive affirmations or quotes around my car where I can see them. I try to put them into my memory. Once I've memorized the quote I switch it out for a new one. The same trick works for scientific facts, historical dates, foreign phrases, and all other things Cliff Claven. Why not grow dendrites while driving? Big brains are sexy.
It took me years to learn all these tactics, having had several jobs and relationships over the years that required me to spend hours on California's highways and byways. I am, and have always been, a very sensitive person, so those drives meant that I wasn't exactly a lovely goddess to be around after an hour and a half on the road. Now, a couple of boyfriends and jobs later, I'm all about vehicular Zen, so it's my pleasure to save you the heartache and unemployment checks. Now get on out there commuters and make this world a better place, one blissful car at a time!

Rep. Shelley Moore Capito, R-W.Va., has been named the new chairwoman of the House Subcommittee on Financial Institutions and Consumer Debt for the 113th Congress.
Capito previously chaired the committee in the most recent session of Congress. The subcommittee has jurisdiction over federal financial regulatory agencies including the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp., the Federal Reserve, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. The subcommittee oversees the country's depository institutions, federal deposit insurance, matters related to consumer credit and the safety and soundness of the nation's financial system.
In addition, Capito will serve on the Insurance and Housing Subcommittee, which has jurisdiction over insurance, including private mortgage insurance and government-sponsored insurance programs, such as the National Flood Insurance program. It also oversee the Department of Housing and Urban Development, the Federal Housing Administration and activities of the National Government Mortgage Association and issues related to rural housing and community development.
Capito said she will use her role on the committees to fight to get the nation's economy back on track.
"Over the last two years, we have learned a lot about the challenges facing community banks and credit unions with play a critical role in deploying capital to small businesses across the nation," she said. "If we are going to get our economy back on track, we need to promote a regulatory environment that recognizes the importance of preserving the ability of small financial institutions to drive economic growth in their communities. I will continue making it a priority in the 113th Congress."
The House Financial Services full committee is chaired by Rep. Jeb Hensarling, R-Texas.

My husband and I along with our 2 teenage sons flew from East Midlands airport to Corfu. All went smoothly. Taken to ship quickly, no waiting, all well organised. Shown to our cabins then straight to life jacket drill. We arrived on the ship an hour before it set sail. Would have liked to have been there earlier as it was a bit rushed on arrival on the ship but couldn't get earlier flights. Having said that the security guy was very quick then we were free to do what we wanted. We booked 2 outside plus cabins which were spacious and comfy. The en suite is small but had a very good shower and was spotlessly clean as well as the cabin.
The whole ship was immaculate, constantly cleaned and polished and hoovered. The cabin crew were extremely good and helpful, as was 99% of all the staff. The food was superb, with lots of choice. We ate in the Four Seasons restaurant most nights and had great service from Del Boy & JR!! The ship has plenty of places to sit and relax, with numerous bars. I never felt packed in or forced to participate in entertainments I didn't want to. We went on lots of the Thomson trips and found them to be well organised and worth the money if you weren't prepared to venture far on your own. Although seasoned cruisers will know that they can often get better deals on their own.
My only criticism of the ship is that the pool deck is crowded when the ship is at sea, and a little run down. Feature showers around the deck would cut down on the amount of people wanting to cool off. I would certainly cruise with Thomson again and would have no hesitation recommending the Majesty.
Other trips we did which are not on the options below were Trapani - Erice- very scenic with lovely views and Messina - Mount Etna - great views and worth a visit. All of the trips would be more comfortable when it is cooler so if not trapped into taking your holidays during school holidays then I would certainly think about going out of season.

LAW DOG and Sal Goodman are both Brian Lancaster. He is using Sal (should be spelt Saul) Goodman cause he LOVES Breaking Bad and regularly makes references to this show (tweaker) and LAW DOG is clearly him gloating as he regularly logs in as others in order to gloat and always ALWAYS will make reference to "the ex wife" and/or "lawyer" in a back handed criticism.
He Currently has an ACTIVE restraining order against him and he continues to directly and indirectly harass in spite of having a restraining order against him (this is FACT and please do not delete this comment with the "unverified accusations" bull. Look it up Pleasanton/Danville/San Ramon weekly. The only think not confirmed are his accusation he's made that have given him these articles and comment forums to continue his bullying and harassment. FACT!
KTVU "broke" this "big" story last month and I'm curious as to why they haven't followed up on this "big breaking" story. I know.... cause it's without merit, that's why.
Brian, you are a poor excuse for a Man, Father, Son, Brother, Husband and Boyfriend (this is also verified (though comments and statements from ex girlfriends, ex wives, ex friends and even his own parents, VERIFIED!!!.
Not the ex wife, ex wife's husband or the lawyer (or the cops for that matter)
on Aug 21, 2012 at 11:32 am
Gary thanks for posting. Interesting to say the least, the story never mentions anything about a murder suicide plot by Brian Lancaster which he calls "Going postal". You can read above that Lancaster had mentioned to his girl friend at the time he planned on murdering his ex wife and new husband.
on Aug 21, 2012 at 1:29 pm
on Aug 23, 2012 at 10:27 am
Actually I am not Obsessed Much but you seem to be! Living my life without Drama and Brian Lancaster stalking me daily and nightly.
I have photos that I tried posting on here with BRIAN stalking another Victim on tape.
Once I figure out how to add these then people who actually care about their Kids can get this PSYCOPATH of the street.
Muah love to my haters!

He lost his legs fighting to protect our country, and on this Veterans Day he's finally returned home to Glastonbury.
Channel 3 Eyewitness News first introduced you to Capt. Greg Galeazzi last year while in rehabilitation in Texas. Now he's inspiring students at his old high school.
As he moves across the stage at Glastonbury High School, it's a far cry from when Eyewitness News met him at Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio.
"I'm walking a bit better," he said. "Sweating a lot less than I was the last time."
Galeazzi, a 2003 graduate, returned to the halls he walked just 10 years ago, sharing his life story from his high school memories to his entire military life.
"I was leaving to go fight in a war that had been going on for almost 10 years," he said.
Galeazzi said that day he was leading a mission to check out reports of unstable explosives in Afghanistan.
"My patrol was attacked by insurgents," he said. "An explosion. It resulted in me immediately losing both my legs."
Students in a packed auditorium were holding on to every word he spoke, relating to the hometown hero because, like he said, 10 years ago he was in their shoes.
"Not in a million years would I tell you that I would be standing on prosthetic legs, in front of a class of half-asleep seniors, delivering a speech."
His message was an inspiring one and encouraged students to have courage, value others and be ready for change.
Those words resonated with the young minds.
"He was in these hallways," senior Roman Green said. "Now he's made a huge difference. Anyone can do that."
Galeazzi isn't home just yet. He was transferred to Walter Reed Medical Center in Washington, DC, in March. He's still in rehabilitation and said he hopes to enter medical school.
