The West Virginia Secondary School Activities Commission Monday reinstated an Elkins High School football player, keeping the Tigers' Top 10 season on track and putting a damper on Oak Hill's postseason chances.
The player, identified in published reports as L.J. Lawrence, was ruled ineligible last week after the WVSSAC received a complaint concerning his residency.
"In accordance with our normal procedure, this office referred the matter to the administration of Elkins High School," read a Monday press release from the WVSSAC, the governing body for West Virginia interscholastic activities. "The school investigated the situation, and initially it was determined that the student-athlete was ineligible under the rules of the WVSSAC."
However, the Randolph County Board of Education intervened, reviewed the situation and opined that, under federal law, Lawrence should be eligible for extracurricular activities. At the WVSSAC's request, the state Board of Education reviewed the federal law cited by Randolph County officials — the McKinney-Vento Act that establishes guidelines for public schools to provide better educational opportunities for homeless students — and concurred with the finding that he is eligible.
"At the request of (the WVSSAC), the West Virginia State Board of Education reviewed the federal law cited by the Randolph County superintendent, and concluded that under these particular facts and circumstances of this case, the student athlete in question is eligible for interscholastic athletic competition in West Virginia because of federal law," the SSAC release read. "Accordingly, the student athlete in question is eligible. Elkins High School will not be required to forfeit any football games."
"It is our hope that this will bring closure" to the eligibility issue, WVSSAC Executive Director Gary Ray said.
Elkins, 7-2 and No. 8 in the Class AAA playoff ratings, was stripped of its wins last week. A hearing for a preliminary injunction had been set for Friday, but it now won't be necessary. Instead, the Tigers — with Lawrence in the backfield — will conclude the regular season with a home game against Class AAA No. 16 Lewis County (7-2) Friday.
If the decision to strip the Tigers of their victories had stood, the Oak Hill Red Devils, who lost to Elkins in the season opener, would have been among the teams that would have benefited most by gaining additional ratings points and moving up the Class AAA ladder.
The No. 18 Red Devils (6-3), who swamped PikeView 62-6 last week, will play at winless triple-A foe Lincoln County (0-8) Friday to end the regular season.
The top 16 teams in each classification advance to the playoffs, which begin Nov. 9.

The Yellow Jackets rolled up 402 yards of total offense, with 236 yards coming on the ground. Taylor Crawford led the Corner rushers with 100 yards on nine carries with three touchdowns. Christopher Huff had an impressive night at quarterback, completing 7 of 8 passes for 126 yards.
Corner's defense also provided great play on the night, holding West Blocton to 223 yards and forcing six turnovers that were converted into two scores. Jake Averhart recorded nine tackles including a tackle for a loss to lead the team, while Jonathan Basset finished the game with seven tackles, a tackle for a loss and a fumble recovery.
Corner coach Zac Willis praised the effort of his offense and defense, noting his team's improvement since the week one opener.
"We eliminated a lot of our mistakes from last week," Willis said. "West Blocton had six turnovers, which ended up being a key in the game. We were able to capitalize on the mistakes that they made and they also had a few injuries tonight that kind of took them out of their gameplan. But defensively, I think we play about as good of a game than we could play."
After holding the Tigers to negative yardage on the initial drive of the game, the Yellow Jackets struck quickly — with Landon Best scoring on a ten-yard run to complete a seven-play, 58 yard drive, giving Corner the 7-0 edge.
After an exchange of possessions that left West Blocton pinned on its own three-yard line, Jake Averhart tackled the Tigers' Jason Vick in the endzone for a safety, extending the lead to 9-0.
A first-down interception by Dylan Adamson on the Tigers' next series set up the Corner offense on the West Blocton 22-yard line.
One play later, Hunter Doppler took the ball the 22-yard length for the score to further the Yellow Jacket lead to 16-0 at the end of the first quarter.
The Corner defense held West Blocton to a punt on the next series and took over at its own 28-yard line. The Yellow Jackets needed just four plays for their next score, with Crawford running 58 yards for the touchdown, bringing Corner lead to 22-0.
Following another exchange of possessions, Jackson Averhart forced a West Blocton fumble that was picked up by Kaven McPherson. Crawford found the endzone again one play later, taking the ball in from 20 yards out for a 29-0 Corner lead.
The Yellow Jackets added a final score before halftime thanks to a fumble recovery by Doppler. Deshay Averhart got the touchdown on a two-yard run to leave Corner in command at the half, 35-0.
The Tigers scored their only touchdown of the game on their first possession of the second half on a 21-yard run, cutting the lead to 35-6.
Midway through the fourth quarter, the Yellow Jackets put the final points of the game on the scoreboard following a six-play, 41-yard drive — with Devne Daniel scoring on a two-yard run. Following the successful extra point kick, Corner reached the 42-6 final.
The Yellow Jackets (1-1, 1-0) stay in region play next week, traveling to No. 8 Dora (1-1, 0-1).

Chris Canty teamed up with Food Bank For New York City to encourage healthy eating and exercise habits in Bronx teens. The Baltimore Ravens defensive end – and Bronx native – was in Mullaly Park with Food Bank's Change One Thing truck, which is traveling throughout the city this summer to bring neighborhoods healthy snacks and advice for leading a healthier lifestyle.
Canty made popcorn trail mix with cinnamon, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, unsalted almonds, dried cranberries, and dried apricots. "We really want to change the culture surrounding the eating habits for our young people," he said.

BART unions, management feuding with 2 weeks to go before strike could resume
Original post made on Jul 23, 2013

Here is a genuine long term solution:
Change the contract for City and County Police and Fire so that instead of retiring at 50 or 55 they would work until 60 as train operators and/or station agents. This would allow them to ease into retirement and the citizens would get pre-trained law enforcement and emergency protocol personnel.
on Jul 23, 2013 at 7:35 pm
I recommend that Police and Firefighters retire at the age of 50 and enjoy their lives as much as possible.
As for emergency personnel, apply for jobs and work only for an excellent salary.
Demand and strike for as many benefits as possible. GOOD LUCK!
on Jul 23, 2013 at 7:36 pm
Fire them all and find and train replacement workers. It should take a week or two, tops

Galactic Empire
The Galactic Empire ruled for years through fear, intimidation, and tyranny. With a mighty military force including stormtroopers, spy technology like probe droids, and the planet-destroying Death Star, Emperor Palpatine's regime seemed unstoppable and permanent. But some dared to strike back…
Republic Attack Cruiser
The Republic attack cruiser was not primarily a cargo transport, troop carrier or other replenishment or supply vessel; it was developed and honed for ship-to-ship combat. Its huge armored shape had an aggressive, dagger-like profile, studded with heavy weapons emplacements capable of punching through powerful shields and sturdy armor. The front half of the ship's spine contained a massive flight deck capable of scrambling the latest in Republic starfighters. The huge hangar doors opened to allow ships to land or takeoff from the deck; the vessel also had a smaller docking bay entrance on its lower side.
Millennium Falcon
A legendary starship despite its humble origins and deceptively shabby exterior, the Millennium Falcon has played a role in some of the Rebel Alliance's greatest victories over the Empire. On the surface, the Falcon looks like a worn down junker. Beneath its hull, however, she packs many powerful secrets. Its owners have made "special modifications" on the freighter throughout the years, boosting its speed, shielding and performance to impressive -- and downright illegal -- levels. The Falcon pays a heavy price for these tricks and add-ons. It can be unpredictable, and its reconditioned hyperdrive often fails. Its current captain, Han Solo, has even been seen to restart a failed start-up with a hard knock on a bulkhead with his fist.
Darth Vader
Once a heroic Jedi Knight, Darth Vader was seduced by the dark side of the Force, became a Sith Lord, and led the Empire's eradication of the Jedi Order. He remained in service of the Emperor -- the evil Darth Sidious -- for decades, enforcing his Master's will and seeking to crush the fledgling Rebel Alliance. But there was still good in him…
TIE Fighter
The TIE fighter is the unforgettable symbol of the Imperial fleet. Carried aboard Star Destroyers and battle stations, TIE fighters are single-pilot vehicles designed for fast-paced dogfights with Rebel X-wings and other starfighters. The iconic TIE fighter led to other models in the TIE family including the dagger-shaped TIE Interceptor and the explosive-laden TIE bomber. The terrifying roar of a TIE's engines strikes fear into the hearts of all enemies of the Empire.
Emperor Palpatine / Darth Sidious
Scheming, powerful, and evil to the core, Darth Sidious restored the Sith and destroyed the Jedi Order. Living a double life, Sidious was in fact Palpatine, a Naboo Senator and phantom menace. He slowly manipulated the political system of the Galactic Republic until he was named Supreme Chancellor -- and eventually Emperor -- ruling the galaxy through fear and tyranny.

There are at least two artists named Diabolic: 1) Underground rapper from NY, US 2) Death metal band from Florida, US 1) Hip Hop Diabolic I grew up in Huntington Station, Long Island down the block from Amigo's Bodega (99 cent 40's when I was 15). I never really aspired to become a "rapper" for a living and to be completely honest I stumbled across this hiphop shit. I got the same story as a lot of kids, older brother with a library of hiphop tapes ranging from NWA to Black Sheep (that was my shit), I would take his tapes and play them in the walkman my Aunt Gail bought me on Canal St.

CATEGORIES Comedy, Drama, Music & Musicals, Romance, Casting, Deals, Scripts, Movies, CinematicalLast year, John Sayles wonderfully took on the world of blues, guitars, and rock 'n' roll with Honeydripper. Now it looks like that was a warm-up for something even better. In a discussion with Collider, Charles S. Dutton revealed that he's working on an HBO miniseries about Louis Armstrong with Quincy Jones, and Sayles is writing the script. Dutton might play the older Louis, and might direct the first few hours of the 6-hour-long miniseries. "Quincy and I were trying to do it 15 years ago. The mistake we were making was that we were trying to do it as a 2 hour film. And Louie's life is just so huge you just can't..." Move over John Adams. I'm betting this wonder team can kick the founding father's butt.
Meanwhile, the cast continues to grow for James Keach's Waiting for Forever. The Hollywood Reporter posts that the film will star Tom Sturridge, with Jaime King, Nikki Blonsky, Scott Mechlowicz, Riley Smith, Blythe Danner, and Richard Jenkins also grabbing parts. While it initially seemed to be a stranger/stalker story, it's now being described as a film about "a wanderer who tries to reconnect with his childhood love, an actress in Hollywood." Sturridge will play the guy, and King will play his sister-in-law who helps him after he's spurned by his brother. The rest of the roles haven't been shared.
The Hollywood Reporter also posts that a Slate magazine article by David Plotz and Hanna Rosin is getting turned into a film. The pair "attempted to emulate a real-life pair of Buddhist teachers who vowed to never be more than 15 feet from each other" by tying themselves together with string for 24 hours. Ron Burch and David Kidd are penning the script. I wonder if they'll get into the groove by tying themselves together as well ... which begs the question: Which actor and actress would you like to see tied together for 24 hours?

On tap poured into a mini chalice. 2008 vintage aged in Elijah Craig bourbon barrels, at the Uber tavern in Seattle, WA with UA8, review number 1,000!
Pours a super dark oily black with a very small dark brown ring of foam with a tiny bit of lacing. Nose is bourbon, light booze, and some creamy chocolate malts.
Taste is awesome, bourbon, sweet dark chocolate, alcohol is there but not overwhelming its rich and flavorful. Mouthfeel is a bit syrupy but still smooth and very tasty. Finish is sharp and oaky. Very nice beer.

2008 Stone IRS Aged in Bourbon Barrels
Dark black with a small brown head. Specks of lacing down the glass.
Rich aroma filled with chocolate, coffee, dark fruits, and a very mild addition of vanilla and wood from the barreling. Smells far more similar to the original than I would have expected, which, fortunately for me, is one of my favorite smelling beers of all time.
The chocolate sweetness is combined with a decidedly vanilla character from the barreling, along with roast, coffee, and dark fruits. The alcohol is exceptionally well hidden. Though this is divine, I think I prefer the original IRS. It's just so perfect, it doesn't need the barreling.
Medium to thick bodied.
A delicious barrel aged beer, though I actually still prefer the standard IRS.

On-tap at Brewvival.
Pours black with a small dark brown head. The head recedes into a wispy layer on top leaving solid lacing.
Smells of large amounts of bourbon, vanilla and butterscotch backed up by roasted malt and unsweetened chocolate flavors. They certainly didn't waste any time before throwing the beer in this barrel.
Tastes similar to how it smells, though not quite as intense. Smooth roasted malt flavors kick things off and are joined quickly by boozy butterscotch and lighter vanilla flavors. Midway through the sip the IRS portion of the beer asserts itself a bit more with dark chocolate and black malt flavors. Near the end of the sip the bourbon flavors take back over before a mildy bitter ending.
Mouthfeel is great. It's got a nice thickness with smooth and soft carbonation.
Drinkability is very good. I finished my glass quickly and went back for a few more. Very easy-drinking for such a big ABV.
Overall this was one of the beers I was most excited about and it didn't disappoint. Well worth a shot if you see it around.

Had on tap at Brouwers stout fest. 2008 vintage.
A: Served in a goblet, BBL RIS was dark black with a very small brown head on top that dissipated quickly. No lacing on this beer, not overly surprising.
S: Plenty of bourbon right away, it really dominates the aroma, a bit surprising after 5 years. Some chocolate with a little bit of caramel and brown sugar.
T: Similar to the aroma, lots of chocolate (sort of like brownies) and bourbon. It was on the sweet side, with only some light roast. There was a bit of wood as well.
M: Full bodied with low to medium carbonation. Fairly smooth and surprisingly easy to drink, though that could have been because it tasted so good.
O: Been waiting to try this beer for a while, glad to have finally had the chance.

Thanks to Ineedabeerhere (Joe) for this one. Opened at a tasting 5/29/10. 4oz. pour from a 64oz. growler into a snifter. Reviewed from notes.
A: Pours a .5 finger upward climbing mocha head with great retention. Beer is opaque and pitch black. Lacing is patchy and stringy with decent stick.
S: Sweet soy sauce (It's been a while...), prunes, raisins, and other dry dark fruit. Barrels are apparent but linger in the background. Also chocolate, licquorice, and brownie.
T: Sweet soy sauce and prunes. Hints of anise, chocolate, brownie, and licquorice. Bourbon barrel booziness backbone provides a great staging area for the complexities in this one. Cocoa powder towards the end with a messy finish. Aftertaste is soy sauce, chocolate, and booze.
M: Medium to full-bodied, just the right amount of carbonation, and rather smooth and oily in the palate. For 11.5%, incredibly subtle on the palate. Finish is messy with a lingering aftertaste.
D: Does bourbon barrel aging make everything better? I'd definitely argue against that but not in this case. Stone IRS is a great beer and this just seems infinitely better. Outstanding complexity and the barrel-aging adds a whole new dimension to this alread solid brew. A rarity but if you can, seek it out. Definitely worth the effort to try this one.

This is the 32nd in a series of opinionated fantasy football columns that will be posted daily in July and August, providing fantasy owners with some insights to consider as they prepare for their drafts. You can get an in-depth preview of the upcoming fantasy football season with the purchase of the Yahoo! Sports / Pro Football Weekly Fantasy Football Guide 2010, available now in newsstands and bookstores, or online at PFWstore.com.
Oakland has been a wasteland for fantasy receivers in recent years. No Raiders wide receiver has gained more than 727 yards in a season since the 2005 campaign, when Randy Moss was still wearing Silver and Black. Last season, while compiling pedestrian numbers in each category, rookie Louis Murphy led Oakland wide receivers in receptions (34), yards (521) and touchdowns (four) as the team cycled through three different starting quarterbacks.
The offense's failure to score touchdowns through the air has rendered the receiving corps irrelevant in fantasy drafts. The Raiders scored just 23 passing touchdowns combined in the past two seasons, while Drew Brees threw 34 TD passes in 15 games in '09.
Offensive ineptitude helped lead to significant offseason changes, however, and it's not unreasonable to expect a long-awaited leap from the aerial attack toward something resembling respectability. Hue Jackson was hired as offensive coordinator, QB JaMarcus Russell was released and QB Jason Campbell was acquired in an effort to strengthen a unit that produced 17 total TDs in 16 games.
With the offense in the firmer, albeit unspectacular hands of Campbell — who is expected to be named the starter before long — there might be an Oakland wide receiver worthy of a roster spot on fantasy teams for the first time in a while.
Murphy, who should only get better, showed promise as a rookie, and '09 first-round pick Darrius Heyward-Bey, after a disappointing rookie season (nine catches, 124 yards) has drawn positive reviews this offseason. He's expected to improve, and has potential because of his speed, not his hands. Chaz Schilens, if he can stay healthy, also could be a name for fantasy owners in deep leagues to remember. At 6-4 and 225 pounds, Schilens has the size and length to become a dangerous red-zone target.
Owners won't have to reach for any of those three. The Raiders are still regarded as a team to stay away from by many who will be drafting players. While there's a chance they won't be much more productive in '10, at least one of the three should emerge as a top target for Campbell, who is an upgrade over the dreaded Russell-Bruce Gradkowski-Charlie Frye combination that started at quarterback for Oakland last season.
Murphy, Heyward-Bey or Schilens should come at the low cost of a late pick and there actually can be a legitimate case made for drafting one of them late, unlike one year ago.

Here's a look at a key matchup heading into Sunday's NFC North battle between the Bears and Lions.
TE Greg Olsen vs. Lions' pass defense
Offensive coordinator Mike Martz has utilized Greg Olsen more often in the past four games, and the tight end has three touchdown catches in that span, but the Lions have done a decent job against tight ends this season. A tight end hasn't scored a TD against Detroit since Week Six, when the Giants' Travis Beckum had a one-yard grab.
Olsen's combination of size and speed is rare, though, and Martz will try to design plays to put him in a favorable matchup. He has the height to create mismatches in the red zone on jump balls.
The Lions will try to stay out of situations where a linebacker has to keep up with Olsen, but if SLB Julian Peterson gets caught defending Olsen, QB Jay Cutler has to recognize it. Olsen has the quickness to beat Peterson, who appeared to make a mistake in coverage against the Patriots in Week 12, setting up a 27-yard gain for TE Alge Crumpler on New England's first offensive play of the game.

Why do Ferguson's police officers look like soldiers?Liz Goodwin, Yahoo News at Yahoo News18 days ago
Police officers responding to protests in a St. Louis suburb Wednesday night were outfitted in fatigues, wore gas masks and body armor, carried military-style rifles, and were backed by tanklike armored vehicles as they sought to clear the streets.
Tear gas, smoke bomb explosions and the pop-pop-pop of nonlethal projectiles added to the picture, as photographs and video from Ferguson, Missouri, depicted a scene more reminiscent of a war zone than a civil rights protest against the police shooting Saturday of an unarmed teen in the largely low-income Midwestern town of about 20,000 people.
The military appearance of the St. Louis County police prompted an outpouring of responses from veterans and policymakers on social media and in statements. Brandon Friedman, a U.S. Army veteran, tweeted a photo of himself deployed in Iraq next to an image of a police officer in Ferguson. "The gentleman on the left has more personal body armor and weaponry than I did while invading Iraq," Friedman wrote.
Many drug inmates who get break under new plan to be deported
Thousands of federal prisoners set to be released early thanks to a change in drug rules will most likely be quickly deported to their home countries next year.
The U.S. Sentencing Commission, a group that controls advisory sentencing guidelines for federal judges, voted last week to shave an average of two years off the sentences of up to 46,000 inmates jailed for drug crimes. The first ones will be released on Nov. 1, 2015.
The group has begun to reverse older policies that sent people away for decades for nonviolent drug crimes, part of a larger criminal justice reform push that has attracted bipartisan support. In 2007, the group lightened sentences for crack offenders. Inmates will have to apply for the sentence reductions with the help of public defenders, and federal judges will have a year to decide who qualifies for early release.
Rumors swirl around migrant kids, fueling local backlash
LAWTON, Okla. — Fred Fitch, the three-term mayor of this small city in Southern Oklahoma, has a lot of questions about the 1,200 undocumented immigrant children who arrived at the Fort Sill Army base just north of town last month. He's a friendly, seemingly reasonable guy, but on a recent Wednesday afternoon, he couldn't help but indulge in a little gossip about the hottest topic in Lawton.
"Where are these kids getting the money to get to the U.S. border?" he asked in an interview in his loudly decorated office in City Hall, complete with leopard-print couch and shag carpet. "We know that the United States is saturated with drug cartel people — are they the sponsors?"
Fitch, who has a shock of white hair atop a deeply tanned face, adjusts his neon-green tie as he chats about the rumors that are swirling around the kids in Fort Sill. He says he's heard that many are carrying diseases. "You won't believe the amount of drugs [they're buying from pharmacies]," Fitch said. "Scabies, head lice — all these kinds of things running rampant in these installations."
Teen immigrants await fate at an Oklahoma Army post
FORT SILL, Okla. — Plastered on the walls of an old Army barracks in Oklahoma are childish drawings depicting the American dream.
One crude picture showed a brown building with an American flag flying on top. The building was labeled "high school" in English with "God Bless America" written next to it in an uncertain scrawl. Another featured a school with a big sign that said "Welcome" next to a smiley face. Other children drew pictures of flowers or messages about Jesus.
But the nearly 1,200 teenagers detained on this military base on the dusty plains of southern Oklahoma aren't likely to realize those dreams any time soon. They are awaiting deportation hearings after having crossed the border on their own, unaccompanied by adults, fleeing their violence-torn home countries in Central America. The Obama administration says that most of them will be deported as soon as the backlogged immigration courts get around to hearing their cases.
White House to Justice Kennedy: No thanks to birth control advice
Justice Anthony Kennedy had some helpful advice for the White House about how it could still provide birth control to women even after the Supreme Court dealt a blow to the law on Monday.
But the problem is, the Obama administration isn't interested.
The swing-vote justice sided with the conservative majority on Monday, which ruled 5-4 that craft chain Hobby Lobby and other "closely held" for-profit companies do not have to provide contraceptives to their employees if doing so violates their religious beliefs. The decision means that thousands of the company's female employees will not have access through their insurance to intrauterine devices and other forms of contraception their bosses object to. The case is the first to uphold a religious freedom right of a for-profit corporation.
Charlie Rangel rebuffs primary challenger to win 23rd House term
Spend more than 40 years running for office, and you get pretty good at it.
Rep. Charlie Rangel of New York likely won himself a 23 rd term in Congress Tuesday night, despite an ethics scandal that's caused some Democratic politicians to keep their distance, and a recent shake up of the boundaries of his district that has shifted his constituency to be majority Hispanic, instead of African American.
The 84 year-old Harlem powerhouse beat his main primary challenger, state senator Adriano Espaillat by 3 percentage points, the AP reported Wednesday afternoon. The city will continue to count outstanding absentee ballots next week, but it appears Espaillat cannot win even if they go his way. (The state senator says he won't concede until every vote has been counted.) The pair was at times neck and neck in polls in the 13 th district, and Rangel appeared to sweat it on the campaign trail. He told reporters Monday that he would cry himself to sleep if Espaillat pulled off a victory.
As wars wind down, small-town police inherit armored vehicles
Robert Shellmyer was relieved to see last week at his hometown's 175th anniversary celebration that the local police department's new prized possession was not driving alongside the tractors and floats in the parade.
That's because a 45,000-pound, explosion-resistant vehicle from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan might spoil the mood.
Shellmyer, a 78-year-old city councilman for the small town of Washington, Iowa, was the sole local politician to vote against the department of 12 police officers getting the free MRAP — short for mine-resistant, ambush-protected vehicle — from the Defense Department three months ago. Washington is one of hundreds of towns and cities to get a recycled MRAP from the Pentagon over the past year and a half.
"Here's the thing," Shellmyer says. "Washington, Iowa, has 8,000 people. We have an MRAP now. We have a SWAT team. We have [police] dogs, and we have a SWAT team transportation vehicle that's not armored."
The city councilman began to think: "Goodness, this is overkill."
Another Obama administration reform plan: Shorter sentences for 20,000 drug inmates
Just a few months after announcing a sweeping presidential clemency program for drug offenders, the Obama administration has backed another sentencing plan that would shave off an average of two years of prison time for as many as 20,000 federal inmates.
For this program, the Justice Department, led by Eric Holder, doesn't need the presidential pardon power or Congress. It only needs the U.S. Sentencing Commission, which controls advisory sentencing guidelines for federal judges.
Last April, the independent agency voted to dramatically reduce the amount of prison time judges are told to mete out to defendants based on the amount of drugs they had on them when they were arrested. Now, the independent agency is weighing whether to make its earlier reductions for drug crimes retroactive. If it votes to do so, inmates serving time for dealing or possessing drugs can apply through a public defender for a reduction in his or her sentence. Judges would decide whether to grant the reduction or not.
Obama has tough love for young people in Tumblr student loan chat
President Barack Obama had some tough love for young people in a discussion on student loans hosted by Tumblr on Tuesday afternoon, warning them not to waste their time while in college and reminding them that they might have to take a job they don't like to pay off their debts.
Obama told the audience of Tumblr users gathered at the White House that despite skyrocketing tuition costs, college is still worth it for most people.
"Is this a good investment? It absolutely is," the president said in response to a question from a Tumblr user about sky-high loans. "It continues to be a very smart investment for you to go to college."
But the president also added that college is not for everyone and suggested that some young people might prefer to try trade school. He also said they should remain "practical" about choosing a career that will actually pay off their loans.
"I worked for a year in a job I wasn't interested in, because I wanted to pay off my loans," he said of his time at a law firm. "You know, work is not always fun. And you can't always follow your bliss right away."
Obama answers Tumblr questions on college loans
President Barack Obama stressed that he believes paying for college is worth it Tuesday afternoon in a discussion with Tumblr users on student loans and skyrocketing college costs.
"Is this a good investment? It absolutely is," the president said in response to a question from a Tumblr user. "It continues to be a very smart investment for you to go to college."
But the president also stressed that college isn't for everyone: encouraging students to look into trade schools and be practical about making sure they are studying for a profession that there is actually demand for.
The discussion is moderated from the White House by the microblogging site's 27-year-old founder David Karp. (Karp skipped college in favor of the startup world.) Tumblr solicited questions from its users — 40 percent of whom are between 18 and 34 years old — beginning last Thursday. Yahoo acquired Tumblr on May 20, 2013.

"I got in a car crash. It was fine. I was basically talking to the guy. The driver was a fan. He parked on the pedestrian crossing so he put the car in reverse and reversed back, but left the car in reverse so we went to set off on the green light and he went on the gas, we went back ," said Siva.Beyond being a little rattled, the handsome 26-year-old has bigger things on his mind as of late. He's also getting ready to walk down the aisle.

PLAYBILL BRIEF ENCOUNTER With Songwriter Tim Minchin on Making Matilda Sing
By Adam Hetrick
Sharp-tongued renaissance man Tim Minchin turns a page in his Broadway debut as the composer of Matilda, the hit London musical that debuts on Broadway this spring at the Shubert Theatre.
To look at his best-known credits, Minchin's name might not be the first to come to mind when considering who might be the proper songwriter for a musical based on Roald Dahl's children's novel about a schoolgirl with magical powers. The Australian comedian, songwriter, actor and musician has traversed some pretty non-PG territory — he played a drug-fueled rock star on the Showtime series "Californication" and Judas Iscariot in the U.K. arena tour of Jesus Christ Superstar, and penned songs that bluntly address hot topics such as sex scandals within the Catholic church ("The Pope Song"), religion ("Thank You God") and prejudice ("Cont"), each number subverting expectations of the listeners by the final note.
Minchin's ability to deliver these songs with a cheeky charm — a disarmingly innocent directness — made him a perfect collaborator for book writer Dennis Kelly on the musical that took London by storm.
Playbill.com spoke with Minchin about his inspirations, his children, his love of Dahl and his singular world view that shapes the world of Matilda.
Was Dahl a big part of your childhood?
You mentioned you were a bit older when "Matilda" was published. Had you read it prior to the start of the musical?
You had an inspiration for the musical prior to the Royal Shakespeare Company production?
That story's become a bit apocryphal, and people say, "Oh he'd been trying to write Matilda for 10 years and then the RSC [Royal Shakespeare Company]…" That's not the case at all. I just wrote one e-mail. But it remains the only time I've ever written an email to anyone about the rights to the book. So, I guess I thought it was a good idea, and then when [Matilda director] Matthew Warchus got me into a meeting, and asked me if I'd heard of "Matilda" cause they were considering me to write songs for a musical version. I said, "You're f***ing joking! Awesome!"
When I look at a picture of Dahl, he doesn't really look like the guy who's writing children's books. He looks a little imposing, smoking a cigarette. Similarly, I might not say, "Tim Minchin, the eye-liner-smudged performer who sings 'The Pope Song' — I bet that guy would want to write a show that would appeal to kids!" At the same time, Matilda has its darker, more vicious moments, and you can't be afraid to go there as a writer — which ultimately, makes you ideal for the project. Tell me about your early inspirations when you started to write.
In both cases they're placed to make a point. In the case of "The Pope Song," to say something outrageous, and then reverse-engineer a kind of trap to make people think about what they find ethical. [Here's a video of the song; warning — it contains material that may offend some listeners.] And you know, my comedy's not a spasm — it's designed. That's the great thing about the Royal Shakespeare Company and other subsidized theatre groups who aren't totally profit-driven — they can take risks, and every now and then those risks can really pay off. The risk was that I didn't know whether I was engaged in theatre and the telling of stories. As it turns out, I am and always have been. But they sat down, and talked to me, and were obviously convinced by my rants on how I think this story should be told. I neither had to try and be dark or pull back from darkness, because I just felt like I was bathed in Dahl as a child — marinated in Dahl — and so I didn't even go back and read any of his books again or go and research him. I just thought, "Oh yeah, I know what Dahl's like, Dahl's like — well he's like me." I mean, he's a genius and I'm an idiot, but in terms of his sort of humor, I just sort of thought, "Oh, well, he loves funny words, and it's a bit dark, and it's funny, and I'll just have a crack at." All I did was, I sat down with the script adaptation and wrote what I thought was needed at the time, you know. And I had no problem not swearing, just like I don't have a problem not swearing when I'm parenting or talking to a journalist on the phone!
Speaking of parenting, did you test any of this out on your kids first? What did they think of the show?
Was that something that guided you as you wrote, this notion of cruelty handled in a way that children can witness it without being brutalized by it?
Was the Dahl estate actively involved in this? Did they provide guideposts along the way? Or were the totally hands off?
What were some of your first inspirations when you sat down to set music to Dennis' treatment?
The second thing I wrote was "When I Grow Up," because again, before I get into the detail of the story, I'm thinking [about] what the character's going to sing, how are we going to express what that characters worldview is, and all those chores that musicals have to do. I just wanted to write a song that captured the vibe of the show, and wasn't to be sung by anyone one character but was a chorus number. "When I Grow Up" is sort of the song that people remember most now because it does float above the narrative a bit. It just places a sort of blanket of un-sentimental sentimentality across it. And it is also structurally, harmonically, exactly the same as "The Naughty Song," so eventually I took those chords and that pace, and pretty much the same feel, and re-wrote the melody and lyric,s and put them in the hands of Matilda, so by the time it comes along it's harmonically familiar even though you don't consciously know the derivative of it.
The vocal harmonies in that song are so beautiful. It's such a fantastic song.
Regarding Miss Trunchbull, did you know you were writing it for a man to play the role, or did that come out much later in the process?
You previously said that you have to trust your gut and not second guess when writing. There's a lot of momentum behind the show as it hits New York, were you tempted to make tweaks for New York, or did you have to say, "No, let it play."
We want is our audiences to have the best time. So if there's a moment that used to get a laugh in England and it doesn''t get a laugh in America consistently over several weeks of shows, we need to examine and go, "Oh it's a pity they don't laugh there because that's funny. Is there a way we can say that, a phrase or a word?." We are trying to maintain the artistic integrity of it entirely, but we're not being obtuse about. We're not being stubborn. If we think there's a better way to help this different audience with the same stuff. We're not being purists to the extent that we refuse to change a single word simply because we think we're untouchable or something.

Clancy DuBos / Political Analyst
It's rare to find someone in political office who engenders near-universal good will, respect and affection. Outgoing New Orleans Councilman Arnie Fielkow is one of those rare politicians.
Fielkow announced yesterday that he will resign his council seat October 1 to return to private sector as CEO of the National Basketball Retired Players Association. The sports world was always Fielkow's first love. This is a dream job for a guy like him.
Fielkow's legacy as a public official is impressive. He helped rebuild NORD, pushed for more transparency at City Hall, and fought for a public-private partnership for economic development.
But Fielkow's most important legacy will be the example he set: A man of integrity, decency, and above all - civility. He cares about all people, especially kids, which is why, even from his new home in Chicago, he promises to stay engaged with NORD.
As a councilman, Fielkow spent countless hours "outside" his official job working with kids, as a volunteer. And that is the example Fielkow set for others in public life: that the best way to lead … is to serve.

but I'm smart enough to know about the law of diminishing returns, and buy the kit I need, rather than buy the kit I need to make up for any lack of self-esteem or ability. Besides that $1000 would get my SQN a full service, or get me an extra m416, or let me get a Sachtler rather than Vinten.
It's all about spending money where it's important.

Chicago Alderman Anthony Beale has conceded the Democratic primary to replace ex-Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr., saying the millions in super-PAC money poured into the race for winner Robin Kelly made all the difference.
Beale called Kelly, a former state legislator, to concede the race on Tuesday evening.
Beale tells the Associated Press he ran a tough campaign and focused on the issues, including job creation and economics in the district. Guns and ethics were among the top issues in the race.
New York City Michael Bloomberg's PAC, Independence USA, poured in $2 million into the race for ads in favor of Kelly and against Halvorson, who opposes an assault weapons ban.
Beale says the PAC money bought the race.

Ports: We particularly liked the overnight stay in Stockholm,this gave us a chance to see a lot more of this beautiful city.Saint Petersburg and Tallinn were also exceptional,however we do not understand why there was no shuttle buses available at Tallinn,shuttle buses were on hand for the Celebrity Constellation which was berthed next to our ship.
Dining: We were on the late sitting,table 47 and we had wonderful service from our stewards and our wine waiter Randy was excellent.The menus were superior to our last cruise with Celebrity and we enjoyed most of our meals in the MDR.We ate in the Pinnacle twice,the first meal was the Master Chef meal with wine to match each course,the second was the "Le Cirque" evening.The additional costs incurred with these reservations was definitely worth the expense.The food,wine and service was excellent and it made a birthday celebration a special occasion.
Cabin: This was our only fault with our cruise,the cabin was situated with a stairwell intruding into our cabin ceiling,this was cleaned at between 05:00 & 06:00,the noise was unbelievable and our cabin window actually had a hose pipe banging against it-sleep was impossible.Our complaints to the Front Desk were met with incredulity stating that the noise was emanating from a stateroom above us,however there are no staterooms above or below cabin 100!After being woken on four mornings we decided to go to the Front Desk on the fifth morning,this was at 05:07.We had to accompany an officer to show him where the noise was coming from and until we brought him into our cabin he believed that our cabin was the radio room.We were eventually compensated for the problem with our cabin,we would have been happy if our initial complaint had been addressed but the complacent response from the Front Desk inflamed the issue.
Overview: Although the ship is in need of refurbishment we liked the size and character of the ship.Despite our problems we have booked a future cruise with HAL and our overall impression of the Ryndam was positive.We would be happy to experience the Ryndam again in the future.

Television: FSN
Listen Live at: KFAN (100.3) or Wild.com
For the Calgary perspective, check out Matchsticks & Gasoline
The remnants of a first line that would have been terrifying in 2004 will be the threat against the Wild tonight. No Kipper, either. You hate to say a team should absolutely win a game, but if ever you were going to...
If you haven't already, please be sure to check out SB Nation's look at concussions in the NHL. This was Emilie's brainchild, and she put a ton of work into it, along with the hard work of some of the best writers on SB Nation. Please give it a look.
Five Questions:
- Can the Wild take advantage of a not so good Flames team?
- Something named Leland Irving in net. Can the Wild not make him look like Hasek?
- Seriously... Ryan Suter... are you there?
- Can the second line produce some offense throughout the game?
- Is the bottom six worth a damn yet?

End of Life Announcement: ClamAV 0.94.x
October 5th, 2009 Posted by - jesler
All ClamAV releases older than 0.95 are affected by a bug in freshclam which prevents incremental updates from working with signatures longer than 980 bytes.
You can find more details on this issue on our bugzilla (see bug #1395)
This bug affects our ability to distribute complex signatures (e.g. logical signatures) with incremental updates.
So far we haven't released any signatures which exceed this limit.
Before we do we want as many users as possible to upgrade to the latest version of ClamAV.
Starting from 15 April 2010 our CVD will contain a special signature which disables all clamd installations older than 0.95 – that is to say older than 1 year.
This move is needed to push more people to upgrade to 0.95 .
We would like to keep on supporting all old versions of our engine, but unfortunately this is no longer possible without causing a disservice to people running a recent release of ClamAV.
The traffic generated by a full CVD download, as opposed to an incremental update, cannot be sustained by our mirrors.
We plan to start releasing signatures which exceed the 980 bytes limit on May 2010.
We recommend that you always run the latest version of ClamAV to get optimal protection, reliability and performance.
Thanks for your cooperation!

And back and forth they go in the Texas Rangers bidding war…
After Mark Cuban's group put up a bid of $355 million, including $208 million in assumed liabilities, you might have thought that would be too rich for Nolan Ryan and The Greenberg Group's blood. But then maybe you haven't been paying attention.
Greenberg has countered with a bid of $365 million and has offered to remove escrow. The total value of the Greenberg-Ryan offer is about $585 million compared to $563 million for the opposition.
As of 12:40pm EST, Judge Russell Nelms has called for a 15-minute recess. And now we wait to see if Cuban and his partners go all-in.

Alexis Murphy, the missing 17-year-old from Nelson County - was last seen alive exactly four months ago today. Tuesday night, her family reached out to the community to keep her memory alive.
Alexis left her home in Shipman Saturday, August 3 - reportedly heading toward Lynchburg. Surveillance video shows her at the Liberty gas station in Lovingston around 7:15 that night. That was the last time she was seen. Authorities arrested Randy Taylor, 48, on Sunday, August 11, and charged him with felony abduction in relation to the case. For more, click here.
About 100 of Alexis' family and community members gathered at the Liberty gas station to light a Christmas tree with pink lights as a beam of hope to bring Alexis home for the holidays."We haven't let go. We're still holding on, we're still praying for her, we're still looking for her and we're still hoping for her," said Jim Gannon, who lives in Nelson County.
Volunteers decorated the tree with pink bows, ornaments, and lights Tuesday to prepare for the ceremony. Saunders Brothers donated the tree, which was planted Monday night. They also set up a banner with a quote taken from the last post on Alexis' Facebook, which reads: "Keep hope alive, you're somebody."
Alexis' mother and father, Laura Ann Murphy and Troy Brown, say Thanksgiving without her was devastating, and now their goal is bringing her home for Christmas.Trina Murphy, Alexis' great-aunt, has found comfort in someone who knows the family's situation all too well.
"One of the most important things that Gil Harrington gave us advice about is to make new normal, to make new routines around the holiday," she said.Gil Harrington is the mother of Morgan Harrington, who was missing for months before her remains were found on a farm in Albemarle County in 2010.
The tree lighting event for Alexis comes on the heels of an all-volunteer search in Nelson on Sunday. Her family says nothing substantial was found during the five-hour effort, but they hold onto hope."Never forget my daughter," Laura Ann Murphy said. "Just keep us in your prayers and just keep us in your hearts."Family members say the tree - decked out in pink - is in true Alexis fashion. The Liberty gas station will keep the lights on until Alexis comes home.

Long-distance relationships are sometimes frowned upon, but new research shows that absence may really make the heart grow fonder.
According to a study in the Journal of Sex and Marital Therapy, distance helps facilitate more intimacy, communication and satisfaction in relationships.
Researchers studied more than 700 people in long-distance relationships and compared them to 425 people in geographically close relationships to assess the quality of their unions.
The factor that better predicted a successful relationship was not the number of miles, but the certainty in the relationship's future, the study found.

Fighter compensation is one of the main points of contention coming out of the Randy Couture's statement regarding giving up his Heavyweight Title belt and leaving the UFC. Randy claims he is tight with many fighters and in discussion with them he's gotten the inside story on how much most top tier fighters are really making.
Dana White has made statements claiming that fighters check MMA websites for this type of fighter pay info, and that this "beauty salon behavior" is bad for the sport and makes negotiations tough.
Well here is a short list of some of the fighters that are training/have recently trained at Xtreme Couture in Las Vegas.
Most of these names were pulled from a quick scroll through the Xtreme Couture blog. View pics of these fighters training.
- Wanderlei Silva
- Karo Parisyan
- Forrest Griffin
- Stephan Bonnar
- Tyson Griffin
- Gina Carano
- Kimbo Slice
- Shawm Tompkins
- Martin Kampmann
- Chris Horodecki
- Josh Haynes
- Jay White
- Jay Hieron
- Gray Maynard
- James Thompson
- Mike Whitehead
- Mike Pyle
Do you think it's slightly possible (hint: that's sarcasm) that Randy might actually have a bond with most of these guys and the real fighter pay info bubbles up not through blog posts but through actual conversation?
Read TONS MORE Randy Couture content on 5 Oz of Pain.
Exactly the point I will be making in a post today. Instead of blaming the websites such as mine and yours, doesn't White know that Couture has tons of contacts in the industry, I'm sure he could just ask the fighters.
White is going through the five stages of grief, I swear.
Agree or Disagree: 0 0
The blaming of the internet by White is laughable since the only thing I have ever seen internet sites post is what the fighters actually make which is given to them by the athletic commissions. So I don't know where he is going with that.
But the only one listed who Randy could compare his salary to would be Silva's most likely. And we don't know what that is yet officially. I think from what I remember on based salary alone only Liddell, CroCop and Ortiz make as much or more then Couture.
Agree or Disagree: 0 0
I couldn't agree more: http://thefightinglife.com/2007/10/12/aftershocks-from-coutures-resignation-reach-far-and-wide/
Agree or Disagree: 0 0
How many of those guys you listed are earning more than Randy? Maybe Wanderlei, MAYBE.
So, he couldn't have gotten first-hand information about who is earning more than him from any of those guys, except MAYBE Wanderlei.
Agree or Disagree: 0 0
What did everyone think of this comment from White on ufc.com:
"I'm very confident though that once Randy gets back in town, if we see each other we'll work this thing out. Not saying that Randy wouldn't stay retired, because that's what he wants to do – he wants to act, he wants to be on TV shows, that's his goal – but I'm sure Randy Couture and I are gonna be friends for a long time."
Agree or Disagree: 0 0
Dana is always positive about what he can do.
Agree or Disagree: 0 0
White's tactic here is a classic union busting method utilized by industry to divide those who do the lions share of the work but see only a sliver of the profits. He wants to keep fighters isolated, afraid to talk to each other (by calling them girls?) so he can manipulate them into bad contracts. I'm no Marxist, but it's standard big-business operating behavior.
Agree or Disagree: 1 0
It's called the 1st stage of grief: Denial.
Agree or Disagree: 0 0
Dana is out of control right now. He's not even stating fact or proof when he talks about "sites" screwing things up. He's not even mentioned one site or blog that could have been the reason for all this happening.
White needs to wake up and smell the mat.
Agree or Disagree: 0 0
In addition to those fighters, in previous statements Randy also alluded to being in the know as to what Rampage and Liddell were receiving as well. I'd imagine that fighters as a brotherhood of sorts and watch out for each other. If they can help the next-man make a little more money, well than they just might.
Agree or Disagree: 0 0
Here's why this is stupid on Dana Whites part either way: He can alienate himself from the internet based sites all he wants (I understand to a small point, like 20% of the way down the road he goes, but doesn't he realize that the future of all publication and media is online?). he problem begins with the fact that you aren't gonna win a public relations battle with hardcore fans who go to these sites daily and invest more of their time then most fans, or with Randy Couture, the most beloved fighter in MMA history (at least in UFC's home market). In the end, Randy Couture knows where he got the information. This amounts to a guy blaming his wife's girlfriends for telling on him when he cheats. it doesn't matter if she caught him in a lie, or she found out from a friend, she's leaving you Dana!
Agree or Disagree: 0 0
agree Johnny
Dana needs to leave MMA sites and blogs alone…because they are really the ones who are grabbing people's attention. People stumble apon blog sites…people just don't stumble apon ufc.com.
he's an idiot with a weak character
Agree or Disagree: 0 0
Rampage Jackson also trained at ExtremeCouture prior to his fight with Dan Henderson (I remember Dan alluding to this in the press leading up to the fight), but not necessarily with Randy. I'm sure they did socialize though and swapped info. Rampage has his own pay issues with Dana. He gets a PPV percentage and even though Dana was running around saying tha Rampage Chuck fight did about a million buys, Dana paid his bonus based on something like 625k buys
Agree or Disagree: 0 0
Johnny P and Jaydog know what they are talkin' about. The UFC has promoted Couture as a composed, collected, calm, rational man. But now, according to D.W. he's making premature decisions based on speculation, heresay and innuendo. Don't let that prick pull the wool over our eyes. He's calling it a retirement, but I know the difference between retiring and resignation. Randy Couture may not be the best fighter in the world, he may not have had the biggest impact on the sport, but he's damned sure been the best example of a champion this sport has seen so far. I've talked alot of crap about D.W. and Zuffa over the past couple of years, but they can just speak for themselves now. Shuttin' down Pride, dickin' around Fedor and now losing Randy Couture. Fricken idiots. Pardon my French Sam but I'm pissed.

Dana is more of an Internet troller than anybody, trolls the damn Underground talking shit to fans, it's absurd.

Just imagine, as horrible as the thoughts may be, that you are a terrified 13-year-old girl, perhaps a runaway from a rough home environment, and youve been taken in by an older man who promises to treat you better. When the sexual activity begins, you dont really understand it. But after a while, what you do understand is the threats that have now become part of your daily life: Do what I say or I will beat you. Do what this man visiting tells you to do. Go with this other girl to a strange house with strange men.
The nightmare is more common than we think, one reason that the N.C. General Assembly passed a law that toughens the penalties for sex traffickers and views the young people in their control as victims instead of treating them as prostitutes.
The top federal prosecutor in North Carolinas Western District, Anne Tompkins, didnt hold back in an interview with The News & Observers Anne Blythe. Human trafficking, she said, is a national epidemic, and it is also happening here, in our communities, with many of the victims and perpetrators hiding in plain sight.
Exploiting young girls
Indeed, a case cited by prosecutors involved a man in his mid-30s, appearing outwardly fairly typical. But he was anything but, exploiting young girls. Now he faces multiple counts of sex crime charges. If convicted, he wont see daylight without confinement for a long, long time if ever.
A problem in working these cases was that youngsters who wind up in these situations are often running away from something at home, perhaps even tensions that arent that extraordinary. So they arent inclined to speak out much. And the traffickers get away with their business, at least for a while, because they dont appear to be that different from anyone else.
What can people do? They can keep an eye out for suspicious situations, older men hanging around with younger girls. They can watch to see whether kids are hanging around on their own or not going to school. They can pay attention to comings and goings and the hours they see the young people around. They cannot hesitate to alert authorities.
Young people are vulnerable because their emotions can grow raw and lead them to be drawn to situations and people theyd be better off without. But whereas an adult would perceive danger, a teenager might not see it. And once in an exploitative situation, it is hard for someone 13 or 14 years old to know how to get out.
Richly earned sentences
That the law is now firmly on their side is a tremendous development. Now such youngsters need not fear going from a prison of one kind to another, and they should not.
Its also a positive development to toughen penalties on traffickers, who have committed despicable and exploitative crimes, crimes theyd be likely to repeat if somehow they escaped the long prison terms they have so richly earned.
State and federal officials are hardly asleep when it comes to these crimes, but clearly outreach must be intensified and awareness raised. Young people who are vulnerable need to be aware that they can turn to authorities without fear and get the help they need. Parents of troubled kids also need to be on the lookout for signs that their children, even if they are somewhat estranged from them, could be falling into dangerous situations.
At least authorities now are highly attuned to the needs of such victims, the signs of trouble and the degree to which sex trafficking is a problem and its a problem everywhere. That knowledge, that awareness, can only help as the traffickers are pursued, put out of business and put into prison.

The Joy—and Challenge—of Teaching Beginners
It is also important to help your beginners feel comfortable and safe. You can do that by reminding them that yoga is not just about doing poses, and that yoga is not competitive. Always encourage them to go at their own pace and to listen to their body. Using props and variations is another way to help students feel safe; it lets them know from the start that they have choices.
I like to make my beginning classes fun, and I sometimes make a joke to lighten the energy. (Others teachers choose to bring a more calming and soothing aspect to their beginning classes.) I also try to learn the names of my students and let them know when they are making progress. Again, building confidence is an important goal, so use all the tools you have to create that end.
Here is where you might begin: Visualize what it was like when you started yoga. Then visualize what it is like to be stiff and weak. Put yourself in the body or the mind of a beginner, with all its doubts and lack of confidence. Then visualize how much you love yoga and what a great gift the practice can be. Create a class that will inspire, be thoughtful, and give your beginners the hope that they too can do yoga and reap its benefits.

Equestrian centers on alert over virus
Horse farms throughout New Jersey and New York have been quarantined and temporarily shut after a horse in a Newburgh, N.Y., competition was diagnosed with the neurological form of equine herpes virus Type 1. Among the quarantined farms is the North Jersey Equestrian Center of Pequannock.
Lynne Richmond, public information officer for the New Jersey Department of Agriculture, said the agency was informed of the sick horse on Jan. 18. The animal, from a farm in Gladstone, was immediately tested at the state Animal Health Diagnostic Laboratory.
Afterward, the department confirmed that just that one horse was positive with the virus. Working with the New York State Veterinarian's Office, the department conducted a "trace back" of the horse's movements.
During the weekend of the Jan. 12 Newburgh competition, the animal came into contact with 11 other horses, including three from the farm in Pequannock's Pompton Plains section. Those 11 horses have been identified and tested and are being monitored. As of Friday, none of the 11 horses showed signs of the illness, said Richmond.
Karl Bauer, owner and president of the North Jersey Equestrian Center, confirmed that his farm is quarantined but only as a precaution, because none of his three horses that came into contact with the infected horse has EHV-1.
Other North Jersey horse farms are aware of the virus and have taken the precautionary measures. The West Milford Equestrian Center will not allow any horses to leave its farm or enter competitions, nor allow outside horses or visitors to enter the premises. It might continue the lockout through February.
Bauer said the horses at Pequannock are doing well.
"We're monitoring not only the horses that were at the horse show, but we are monitoring all our horses," Bauer said. "We have the ones that were at the horse show in a separate barn."
The EHV-1 positive horse from Gladstone is in a quarantined facility in Oldwick, recovering from the virus.
Bauer said he is always careful of what horses enter his farm and from where, and maximizes care of his horses. Since the health alarm, he has been taking the temperature of all of the horses and sending results to the state veterinarian every day, which is not required.
Douglas Fisher, New Jersey secretary of agriculture, said his agency "has taken immediate preventive measures to stop the virus from spreading. & It is essential that we use quarantines and trace back in equine herpes cases since the disease is easily transmitted, causing many horses to become sick or die."
The department says EHV-1 symptoms include fever, decreased coordination, hind limb weakness, lethargy, loss of tailbone and an inability to rise. The most common way for EHV-1 to spread is by direct contact between horses. It also can spread indirectly through contact with contaminated objects. The department said the neurologic form of EHV-1 also can cause an acute paralytic syndrome, resulting in a high mortality rate.
In order to prevent the virus from spreading, it was necessary to quarantine the farms.
"The quarantine lasts three weeks and if they don't show signs or don't become ill, then the state veterinarian will determine whether or not to lift the quarantine," Richmond said.
Veterinarian Dr. Dawn Garro of the Butler Veterinary Hospital said that EHV-1 treatment is with a combination of supportive care, intravenous fluids, and antibiotics to combat the secondary infections.
"They can get herpes and never show clinical signs," she said. "That's the weirdest thing about this virus. If it mutates and causes this neurological symptom, then you're in trouble, because these animals are at high risk."
