Part of the allure of the Pennsylvania Wilds Region is the distinct feeling of self-reliance one gets while backpacking through the woods or camping out for a night or two. Perhaps no better place to do this is around Kinzua Lake (aka the Allegheny Reservoir). A national forest grows here and the reclamation effort of the U.S. Forestry Service has been so successful one can imagine that this is what the woods felt like to the very first explorers through Pennsylvania's "Impenetrable Forest" on the Allegheny High Plateau.
The land itself was the home of the state's last Native American homeland, up until 1965 when they were forced to move across the border to New York due to the flooding caused by the Kinzua Dam and the creation of Kinzua Lake.
The outdoor opportunities here seem limitless, but bear in mind that the forestry service is run by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and their number one job is not to provide tourist destinations. They are more concerned with land management which includes mineral extraction and timbering. That being said, the area offers excellent prospects for those who want to experience the wilds for an unforgettable summer vacation or just a day trip. Just bear in mind that an expedition like this is pretty much a "do it yourself" type of adventure. That's because camping and hiking are just a sideline for the Department of Agriculture.
One interesting spot, among many, is the Morrison Campground, located at the outflow of Morrison Run. In the Google map below, Morrison Campground is located on the shore due north of the "Kinzua Bay" letters on this map:

You can click on the link below the map which reads "View Larger Map" in order to zoom in and out to see exactly where this remote campground is located in relation to nearby cities of Warren and Bradford, PA.
Due to its lack of accessibility, this is not exactly a "user-friendly" campsite but perhpaps that is its beauty. It affords primitive camping in an excellent location with the added benefits of seasonal water taps and even a sweet-smelling vault bathroom. You won't hear any cars here. There are no roads. And you won't hear any loud motor boats. Mooring is not allowed and there are no docks. If you have friends with a boat they are allowed to drop you off here and that is probably the fastest way to get to this spectacular setting which includes picnic tables and fire rings.
The Forestry Service has outsourced management of Morrison Campground to Allegheny Sites out of Bradford, PA. It's recommended you give them a call at (814) 368-4158 to get all the details you are looking for. In particular, the "self pay station" was not easily found here.
If Allegheny Sites is not available to answer your questions, you can always stop in at Allegheny Outfitters located at 2101 Pennsylvania Avenue in Warren, PA. They are our local guide service and they can give you quite valuable information for free. They love to do it. Their phone number is (814) 723-1203.
The quickest and easiest way to get to this site is to load up your backpack and have someone drop you off at the Morrison Traihead, located a couple miles east of Kinzua Marina, just across the McKean County Line. The Allegheny National Forest web site says it's about 6-7 miles down to the campground, but we discovered that it is less than 4 miles.
Alternatively, you can ride your mountain bike in. This has become a popular trail for adventuring cyclists. For more detailed info on hiking the Morrison Trail down to Morrison Campground, visit this link (the article hasn't been written yet, come back soon to read it).
Alternatively, if you don't have friends with a boat, you might think about renting a canoe at the Kinzua Marina, which is not too far away, and get to the campsite Indian-style. As was said before, mooring is not allowed at the campsite, but you could always "portage" your canoe off the shore and I think this would be OK. But check with the experts on this first. I could be wrong. But I still believe the best way in is to make the hike from Morrison Trailhead. The only catch here is that you would need a ride to and from the trailhead. I'm not sure I would want to leave my car parked there overnight. This is the Pennsylvania Wilds, after all.
On a recent visit on Father's Day, not a single camper was seen at any of the 38 sites at Morrison Campground, which probably means this place never gets crowded. But for the few who do make it out here, one gets the impression that they really love it. Here is a photo of "lounge chairs" made by one set of campers, including a "Papa Chair", a "Momma Chair," and even a "Kid's Chair." Someone had a really good time here:
I call this "The Three Bears" campsite.
If you really want to experience the wilds at very little cost, primitive camping is allowed FOR FREE as long as you are 1500 feet away from the water and from other campsites and facilities. That would be about 500 paces away. There are numerous spots nearby that seem suitable for this, but you would miss the atmosphere of being on the lake. But hey, 10 bucks is 10 bucks and if the area is empty like it was the other day you'll have the whole place to yourself. If you are looking for the quintessential Pennsylvania Wilds, take a ride up Kinzua Road (aka Route 59). You won't be disappointed.

Lorenzen Wright's tragic story will soon air on TV One's Celebrity Crime Files. The cable network recently filmed in Memphis after Wright's mother made an appeal to FOX13 News and the Mid-South.
Your response to TV One was overwhelming. Though his murder investigation has been on their radar, it was the 1,000 phone calls appealing to their network that helped his mysterious case make the list for the show's second season.
FOX13 News recently spoke with Deborah Marion as she was getting prepared to speak with TV One's Celebrity Crime Files. She said while getting ready, she remembered her son giving her the royal makeup treatment 16 years ago.
"It makes me want to cry but I don't want to mess up my makeup," she said. "It's like a pamper party."
Now, she's back in this chair for him.
"That somebody else really going to hear it and maybe somebody'll get my story and start helping me, find out what I need to find out, what happened to my son and why," Marion said.

MORE: More than just a basketball player: Lorenzen Wright
The former NBA star disappeared on July 18, 2010, shortly before he was to ride back to his Atlanta home with a friend of his. Nine days later his body was found in a wooded area in Southeast Memphis near Hacks Cross Road and Winchester.
"He was Memphis. He was Memphis sports," she said.
No arrests have been made in the high profile case.
"I have been waiting on this day to get my story out because it's been inside of me like a time bomb, tick, tick, tick away," Marion said.
Since Wright traveled extensively, Marion hopes national exposure would help find answers. She texted 560 friends to appeal to TV One, which highlights controversial cases on celebrity crime files.
"Leave a message and tell them you would like to see the Lorenzen Wright story," she said.
After 1,000 calls to the cable channel, a production company landed in Memphis. After one final touch up, Marion reflects on her son's memory before her big TV One close up.
FOX13 News captured some of the behind the scenes action while the crew detailed Wright's childhood, the investigation, and lack of clues.
Crime Stoppers Executive Director Buddy Chapman calls the case very cold.
"This has been just an unbelievably extraordinary case," he said. "The fact the gunshots would be fired, there was no location, we didn't know where the body was. It turned up later. When it turned up his jewelry was still on him, which is extraordinary because if it was a drug deal gone bad or robbery they would've taken the jewelry. Just kind of where it is. I've never encountered anything like it."
While Chapman says the case has received no substantial tips, he commends this mother for her one-of-a-kind persistence.
"I don't know that I've seen anyone as tenacious as she," Chapman said.
The production company's Memphis shoot lasted two days, but their presence offers Marion a glimmer of hope forever.
"Hope somebody's conscious play on him and say I can't live like this," she said. "Got to go, do my time. She don't want me dead, she just want me to serve my time. I don't want anybody dead. Enough people done died. My son was one too many."
Marion says she's in talks with a private investigator. She says a group of volunteer criminal experts who help solve homicides are also looking into the case.
The air date for the Wright story has not been released but is set to air this year.
If you have any information on the Wright cold case you are urged to call Crime Stoppers at 901-528-CASH.

Chapter 72 Reviews
A serious problem arises.
"Come on guys, rise and shine, it's your big day." Bob's cheery voice rouses me and Mikey from our day dreams.
"We are awake." We both mutter to the hidden microphones. We're answered simply by Bob's laughing.
"Is he always like this before a hit?" Mikey asks me with a worried expression on his face.
"Yeah. Nerves aren't kind to him." I explain. "He goes kind of loopy then he freaks out making sure that everyone knows exactly what they're doing and getting really worried."
"Great." Mikey sighs. Nerves just seem to make him even moodier. Me? I don't suffer from nerves. Although I have a blinding headache right now that is leaving me wishing I'd smuggled some pain killers in with me. Yeah a vampire hunter that still needs to take headache tablets. Laugh all you like. It's painful.
"You think we should go and free our little helpers now? We could run everything through with them and give them a little while to practise…" I trail off. I'm not used to having to look after so many other people. I don't really know how Bob manages to keep track of us all. I can barely remember their names.
"Yeah that would probably be a good idea." Mikey half heartedly agrees. He unlocks himself and sets off around the room gathering our small army. I unlock myself and stay sat on my bed, waiting for the room to stop spinning. I close my eyes as Mikey approaches.
As close as we'd become during our stay here together it had all been ripped apart in the small hours of this morning. He'd returned to his old ways as we talked about the final plans for tonight. When I'd argued against one of his more elaborate ideas he had flipped on me. Calling me stupid and a time waster. Threatening me and undermining everything I've worked so hard to achieve. I wanted to slap him, I wanted to tear him limb from limb but instead I'd rolled over and went to sleep.
"Kat?" Pete calls over to me. Looking concerned for a second until I fix a determined smile onto my lips and walk over to them.
"Ok so is there anything any one needs to go over before tonight?" I ask the small group gathered around me and Mikey.
"How are we going to get the really doped up ones out?" The big built man asks.
"They won't be doped up. We haven't told you this because we didn't want you to relax too much but the vampire who has been coming in with food and new captives is on our side. He's been intentionally leaving drugs out of our meals and as of yesterday everyone else's too. By tonight they should be awake enough to get themselves out of here. All you have to do is unlock them and guide them across to the road. There will be vans waiting there to take you to either family or hostels if you'd prefer."
They all look slightly alarmed at the knowledge that one of the bad guys was working for us. I suppose they were also annoyed that we kept this from them but we didn't want to risk anything. It was safer for everyone if they knew the bare minimum right until the very end. "Anyone else got anymore questions?" I ask them. They all shake their heads in unison.
"So everyone is one hundred percent sure of what they're doing? No queries or last minute problems?" Mikey asks the crowd of brave people assembled around us.
"This is your moment to shine." I smile at them reassuringly. "This is your chance to show everyone who ever doubted you what you can do. It's your chance to get your own back on those pricks who have kept you here against your will." I smile at them again and I'm surprised but happy when they all send me back small genuine smiles of their own.
"Let's get this show on the road."
Mikey spends the rest of the day light hours going over tactics and fighting techniques. I spend the last hours talking to Bob via the wire.
"How are they holding up?" He asks me, referring to our unorthodox recruits.
"Really well. We were really lucky. You'll have to thank Ray for getting us some good ones."
"I will. How are you and Mikey?"
"Fine." I answer a bit too quickly.
"What's happened?" He asks. The disapproving tone of his voice makes me cringe.
"We had a bit of an argument last night. It's fine now though." I promise.
"You can't let your emotions get in the way of this Kat. I can't stress how much trouble you'll be putting yourself in if you go out there with hate in your veins."
"He infuriates me so much." I confess. "He's all sugar and spice and then 12 hours before the crunch he goes back to 'you're so shit at everything and I am always right.'"
"Kat." Bob says warningly.
"I know. I know." I assure him. "I'll forgive and I'll forget. Just find him somewhere else to live when we get out?" I ask. Closing my eyes against the harsh lights that have just clicked on over head.
"Things that bad?"
"Yeah. He hates me Bob. I don't why, God knows I've tried to make things Ok between us, but the boy hates me."
"I don't hate you Kat." A sudden voice says from beside me. I jump and open my eyes quickly to see Mikey stood next to me with 5 other people. "But we do need to start moving things along now. Ray should be down in about 10 minutes and then we can start unlocking everyone. Is he still going to make a hole in the window and take the bars down for us??"
"Yes Mikey. It's all been planned." I say quietly, holding my hands up to my temples and resting my elbows on my knees.
"What the hell is wrong with you? I said I don't hate you. I was just checking the plan that's all. Something you've been failing to do all afternoon."
"Just drop it Mikey. I'm not in the mood." I say, slipping off the bed. "Bob things are going into motion now, Ray's just approaching, I can hear him whistling."
"Good one. I'll send the boys."
"Remember to hold back for a while. Ray said guests will be still arriving for an hour yet."
"Ok. See you soon."
"See you soon Bob. Good luck."
"You too Kat." He replies and I hear him click the microphone off.
I take a look at Ray who is winding his way between the beds to get to the window then look at Mikey. "Make a start on freeing these people. I'm going to help Ray."
I vaguely hear him shout something like 'I'm sure he doesn't need much help cutting through glass with his fingernails' but I ignore it. Instead I hand my pick wire to Pete ensuring him that Mikey will tell him what to do with it and go to stand with the only person I liked right now.
"How are things upstairs?" I ask Ray as he slowly draws his finger round the perimeter of the glass.
"Good. Nearly everyone's here. Seems they couldn't wait for the sun to fully set before coming. They're really excited."
"Great so we're battling excited sun burnt vampires?"
"Don't forget blood deprived. Which is an advantage and a disadvantage." He reminds me. Most vampires will fast for a few days before a blood feast meaning their senses are dampened and their powers weakened. Their blood lust however makes them nothing but savages. A team of humans waltzing into their lair with toothpicks are going to do nothing but make them thirsty.
"I hope this goes well." I sigh leaning on the wall.
"Me too." He grunts as he wrenches the bars away from the window and throws them out onto the surrounding grass. We watch a white van pull up a little way down the road. "Now what?" He asks me.
"Now you run, before they realise you just set us free." I prompt and he climbs gracefully out of the window and runs to the awaiting van faster than any human could dream.
"Now it's our turn." Mikey says into my ear, making me jump.
"Yep." I sigh, nervous for the first time ever. "Now it's our turn."
"Ok so all of you are fine with what you have to do?" I ask the group of people gathered around me and Mikey by the window.
"All we have to do is jiggle a piece of wire around and escort drugged people across a field." Rick reminds me. "It's hardly rocket science."
"I'm just scared for you that's all." I confess and sigh deeply. I didn't feel right. This whole thing didn't feel right. It was going too well. Everything was going to plan. We'd already half emptied the room and no one had gotten caught. None of them had had to fight. All good things so why did it all feel so bad?
"Kat what's up?" Mikey asks me as the others all return to their jobs.
"Nothing I just, my head hurts, a lot." I confess, leaning on the wall just beside the window.
"Well, are you ok to carry on?"
"Of course I'm Ok to carry on." I bite back. "I'm sorry."
"Sure you are. Maybe I'll go all weepy on your ass now and go crying to Bob that you hate me. Don't worry, I wasn't planning on staying here with you once this is over."
"I'm glad to know that. It makes me feel a whole lot better. Please tell me you were planning on throwing yourself off a cliff instead?"
"Oh very funny you're full of wit you are. I just can't contain my- Kat? Are you alright?"
As me and Mikey had been arguing we'd failed to notice the door to the basement opening and closing quickly and the blur that had streaked from the far end of the basement and over to us and then stopped.
Stood right behind Mikey is Gerard. I'd recognise that face anywhere. Everyone in the basement freezes, Mikey looks behind him and moves quickly to my side. "No need to be afraid pussy Kat." Gerard says quietly. "This won't hurt much." I feel something dig into my arm and I look down to see that he's stuck a needle into me and is slowly pushing the plunger. I slide down the wall as the drug takes hold of me.
"Kat? What have you done to her?" Mikey screams.
"I have a little offer for you Mikey. I think it would be in your best interests to accept."
There's a pause and I can feel my eyelids trying to flutter closed but I hold them open, praying that Bob was receiving this. "Quite an organisation you've got going here." He says to Mikey as reaches down to me and picks me up.
"You drugged her?" Is all Mikey says in reply, obviously dumb struck.
"Yep. Here's the deal. I'll give you twenty more minutes to clear this lot out before I raise the alarm, if you allow me to take her out." I nod my sleepy head to show Mikey that he has to accept this. Even if he doesn't want to. Even though we don't know what he's going to do to me. Even though the only noise I'm receiving through my headset is static rather than Bob's comforting words.
The last thing I'm aware of is being carried up the steps over Gerard's shoulder. Then it all goes swampy black.
"The killer in me is the killer in you, my love." Gerard sings as he circles me.
"We are not the same." I slur, trying to make my drugged mind concentrate on finding an escape.
The room I'm being held in is much like one of our interrogation rooms. There are no windows and the door looks heavy and solid. The only difference is that the walls and ceiling seem to be made out of solid concrete rather than panelled in wood and the door is made of a sturdy metal rather than thick oak.
I glare at Gerard. "Where have you taken me?"
"Oh not far at all." He smiles, obviously enjoying this, then begins to sing. "There's a worm at the bottom of my garden…"
"You're fucking crazy!" I cry out, scared now for what might happen to me here.
"Crazy? Or sneaky?" He smiles again and I realise that it isn't the crazy smile I'd seen before but a conspirational one. "You asked me a question and I answered you, then I sung a little song. You see… 'We are never alone.'" He sings again and several things click in place. One is that I'm still on the grounds of the warehouse, at the bottom of the garden in fact. And another one is that I had no idea what was going on.
"Whose side are you on?" I ask in confusion. He was the enemy, he had to be the enemy.
"I was always on your side." He sings and I laugh outwardly. He looks shocked and comes closer to crouch down before me.
"You took Frank. You stole him from me. Yet you say you're on my side? I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you."
"He didn't love you Kat." He says imploring, staring into my eyes with his blazing hazel ones. "He was going to leave you for some whore, surely it was better that he left you for immortality instead?"
"I don't believe you." I argue shaking my head. What ever mind games he was trying to play they weren't fair.
"Believe all you like." He whispers harshly and something about the tone makes me listen to him, "But you'll see truth eventually. I loved you Kat, I still do, even though you insist on hunting my kind. You're the best, you know that? I admire you, but I thought you were intelligent enough to see through Frank's lies. All that bull about investigating some new lead on rumoured vampire sightings up north? It was a load of bull Kat. I saved you the pain of him leaving you for someone else."
"Who? Who was he leaving me for?" I ask before I can stop myself.
"'Well here's the twisted part.'" He sings with a sad smile. "Your, erm, your… your hunter friend…"
"Mikey?" I ask in wonder. I cannot believe this is happening. Everything in me wants to believe that this is just some tactic to fuck up my mental state and get me to spill everything about the mission, but I can't, I can't believe it. I believe Gerard. I know that he's telling me the truth.
"Mikey didn't know Frank was with you. So don't kill him when I let you go."
"I won't." I promise. Then the strength of that statement hits me. "You're going to let me go?"
"You think I could kill you? Or even condemn you to death?"
"Well, yes." I reply, "Me and Mikey did sneak in here and plan to kill you and all your little blood sucking friends." The fact that I even say this is a sign as to how screwed up the drugs have made my brain. He's just told me he's going to free me and here I am pointing out why he shouldn't do just that. I hope the others are Ok.
Gerard laughs, the sort laugh that's slightly patronising but still it doesn't feel like he's laughing at you. He has a nice laugh. "I love you Kat. I know you find it hard to believe because, well, this is the first time we've even spoken. You remind me of someone though, some one who used to love me. You remind me of myself." I stop myself from jumping down his throat when he compares the two of us this time. After all we are both just killers doing what we need to do to help our species survive. His methods of showing his 'love' for me are a little unorthodox but he's going against his own clan to save me. In his own way I think he does love me. Just a little.
"So, how are you planning on letting me go?" I ask when he fails to say anything else.
"Well you see what I'll do is unlock those chains, open the doors…" He gives me an odd look.
"You're just going to leave me to run back up to the warehouse by myself when I'm in this state?" I ask incredulously. There I was thinking he was trying to save me.
"The drugs will have worn off by the time you have to run." He explains to me slowly as if I'm mentally challenged. "The serum I injected you with doesn't last long. We'll have a nice chat about our old friend and then you can go."
I pause for a second trying to take all this in. I keep waiting for a pink elephant to appear out of no where and start flying around the room. Then I'd know that this is just some stupid drug induced dream dream. Then I can wake up and be tortured and it would be easier to deal with than all of this .
"You're not dreaming." Gerard says softly. "Yes I can read your mind, well, pick up on your thought patterns actually."
I make a conscious effort to stop thinking but there's too much going on. "Why did you let Mikey go? I'm not complaining but… why are you helping us?"
"I've already told you that. I could never hurt somebody I love. You love those people so I can't hurt them either."
"This doesn't make any sense." I sigh. I'm sure it's not just the drugs that are affecting my brain. I just, I just can't believe what is happening right here.
There's a knock at the door and Gerard rises to go and speak to whoever it is. He nods and motions for them to leave then returns to me. "You had more people?" I nod slowly. "Still going to free me?" I ask with a mocking smile.
"Of course. I just didn't realise how equipped you were. Everyone assumed you worked alone."
"Well now you know." I reply. "I thought you wanted to talk about 'our old friend'?" I ask him to get him away from the subject of the group. I wasn't going to sell them out to anyone, whether they 'loved' me or not.
"Oh yes. Dear Frank."
"So, talk." I prompt.
"There's a few things you need to know about him."
"That he's a much more evolved race of vampire than you could ever dream to be? That he has nearly full control over his new powers? That he can move things, including people, without touching them? That he's faster and fitter than you?"
Gerard just stares at me with his mouth hanging slightly open. It's kind of comic and I start to laugh but I stop suddenly when I remember where I am.
"How… How on earth do you know all that?"
"We do our research Mr Way. You don't think I get through as many of you as I do by chance do you?"
"Fine. But you missed out one crucial fact."
"What?" I ask him, knowing it could prove vital to the people battling him right this instant.
"Well, he's a bit like you really. His body healed but his heart, it never quite manages it. When you broke up he fell to pieces. Once he got used to being one of us he was ok I suppose, he learnt to use his powers for reasons we'd never dreamt of. His heart though, he was constantly thinking of you, and Mikey, and how he'd never see either of you again. He was heart broken."
"Why are you telling me this?" I ask angrily. "You think if you tell me he's still broken hearted then I'll just throw my arms up in the air and call off this whole thing. Tell every one that we all live together in harmony? You know that that could never happen. Will never happen."
"And there was me thinking you were smart." He chides me again. "I tried to help you Kat. All you had to do was open your heart up a little."
He reaches out and cuts through the binds on my wrists. Then he does the same for my feet and pulls me up into a standing position. "I think I over estimated you." He says as he unlocks the door. "I'll always love you though, just maybe not so much."
For some reason this hurts me. I stand and look him in the eye, wanting to try and hurt him back, or at least threaten him. "They won't listen to me if I tell them not to go after you."
"Are you even going to try?" He asks with an eye brow raised. I look to my feet, unsure of what it is I'm planning on doing. "Then I suppose I'll just look forward to seeing you again." He grins then pushes the door open wide.
"Run Kat, run like your life depends on it."
EDIT - Ok so there's the bit where Gerard uses some song quotes? Well here are the quotes, the song titles and the artists who originally wrote the lyrics before I stole them. Some are missing because they are just silly little kids rhymes. Next update should be along shortly.
'The killer in me is the killer in you, my love." - 'Disarm' by The Smashing Pumpkins
"We are never alone." – 'Okay I believe you but my tommy gun don't' by Brand New
"I was always on your side" – 'You're a shiver' by Rescue The Astronauts
"Well here's the twisted part." – Chameleon Boy by Blue October

DEKALB, Ill.-The Northern Illinois University women's basketball team hits the road once again, this time for a three-game road trip, when the Huskies travel to Indianapolis to face IUPUI Saturday at 1 p.m. CST.
The Huskies (4-7) come into their contest with the Jaguars (3-9) looking to build on its 61-46 victory over Northern Iowa at the Convocation Center Dec. 21, 2007. In that contest, Jessie Wilcox (Oshkosh, Wis./West) made her return to the starting line up. She scored a game-high 19 points to lead the way for NIU.
"I hope we can gain some confidence coming off the Northern Iowa game," NIU head coach Carol Owens said. "Being on the road, everyone understands how we want to approach these games and how well we can start games out. Everybody can bring something, whether its offense, defense, rebounding, whatever it is, everybody can bring something."
The series is tied at 1-1. NIU is looking to avenge last year's meeting, an IUPUI victory. The Jaguars won last year's meeting, 73-67, at the Convocation Center (11/14/06). All five of the Jaguars starters finished in double figures. This is the Huskies first visit Indianapolis. The Jaguars come into Saturday's game following a 67-44 loss to No. 17 Notre Dame Dec. 21, 2007.
Following its game with IUPUI, NIU will not return to DeKalb. The Huskies will head to Normal, Ill. to take on Illinois State on New Year's Eve. This road trip gives the Huskies a great opportunity to build on its chemistry before heading into conference play. NIU begins Mid-American Conference play Jan. 9, 2008 at Eastern Michigan.
"We're going into these two road games thinking positive," Owens said. "We're looking forward to the competition. We're going to one game from another, obviously it's a time for us to spend some time together."

Frequently Asked Questions Series: Safety
So I've recently gotten several emails from prospective students that have all hovered around the same sort of topics. I figure, if everyone is asking the same questions I might as well just address them openly here on my blog. In my next couple posts I'll probably focus on a couple FAQs.
"So, I've heard that the area that Clark is in isn't very safe. How do you feel about this?"
As a perspective student this is definitely a difficult question to figure out on your own, especially when you are not too familiar with Worcester. Just like Boston and New York, Worcester is an urban area that has had its share of urban problems. I'm not sure if you've visited Clark or not, but it's located in a neighborhood called main south. Main South is a low-income area of Worcester which over the years has definitely had its fair share of crime. With that in mind, there are a number of resources available on and off campus to help make students feel safe. We get "timely warning" emails every now and again from University police that let us know about incidents that have happened. Mostly students walking by themselves at night, off campus, who have been asked to hand over their wallets/phones/ipods
ect. I'm not trying to scare you by saying this, this is just honestly what happens.
I will say that I have never felt unsafe walking ON campus at any time of day or night. This is due to how well lit campus is, university police, and the whole blue light system. I live off campus now and during the day I don't feel unsafe walking around Worcester. At night I use Clark's escort service when I'm trying to get somewhere by myself like to a friends apartment. Escort is a student-run van safety service. I call escort, they'll give me a wait time (usually like 5 to 15 minutes, sometimes like 20 depending on busy it is) and they pick me up and take me where I want to go within a quarter mile radius of Clark. In my experience sometimes that distance can be negotiated further though…. Escort runs from 4pm to 4am, 7 days a week. When I lived on campus, I mostly used escort to get groceries or if the
weather was really bad outside. I don't feel unsafe walking with friends at night, I just won't walk around alone; it's not smart or safe.
To be honest, I've really loved main south, and other Worcester neighborhoods. There are a ton of great restaurants, bars, clubs, parks, concerts, and festivals, especially in the fall. There are a lot of hidden gems to find; sometimes you've just got to have the will and enthusiasm to find them. It's a smaller city, but for me that made it an easier adjustment. I'm from a super small town in Maine so to start off college in an urban area involved a bit of learning and a lot of exploring. Becoming street smart and learning how to live in an urban area has been a second education that I've really appreciated. This is just one Clarkie's opinion on safety. If you come to visit campus, definitely ask about this. It's always good to get a lot of opinions!
Also, keep the emails coming! I actually love answering questions about Clark, plus it provides some nice procrastination from my actual homework/thesis…. AND I can always use some good blogging inspiration so if you have a topic you'd like me to write about please, oh please let me know! email@example.com

Food allergies are serious business for parents sending students back to school.
Allergist Doctor Gerald Lee explains the best way to avoid problems and the new laws that could help sensitive children.
University Allergy and Immunology
210 E. Gray St., Ste. 804
215 Central Ave., Suite 205
Louisville, KY
Appointments: (502) 852-6633 or more information, CLICK HERE.
The top things to consider when sending an allergic child back to school:
- Know your individual school's policies and procedures regarding food allergic children.
- Inform the teacher and staff about your child's allergies.
- Meet your pediatrician or allergist before school begins to make sure the proper forms are filled out and prescriptions are up to date.
- Educate your child about his/her allergies.
- Be aware of social issues. Children with food allergies are at high risk of bullying and should not be singled out.
There are 3 types of epinephrine injectors on the market:
1. The Epipen
2. Auvi-Q, an injector that is smaller than the epipen and is able to give verbal instructions on its use.
3. Adrenaclick, a generic form of epinephrine that could substitute without the provider's knowledge and works differently from the Epipen and Auvi-Q.
Two noteworthy pieces of legislation to address the issue of food allergy in schools:
1. KY House Bill 172 was signed into law on March 21, 2013. This bill states that students should have an individual written health care plan from their doctor and should have an epinephrine autoinjectors provided by their parent or guardian. In addition, schools are "encouraged" to keep epinephrine in two locations in the school and have proper policies and procedures for a possible allergic reaction.
2. On the national level, on July 30, 2013, H.R. 2094 will give asthma grant preferences to states with policies to make epinephrine available at schools and allow trained personnel to administer the drug. They also would like to introduce polices that would remove the fear of litigation of using this drug if it was thought to be necessary.

Hagley homes delay down to legal questions over council report
2:52pm Wednesday 5th December 2012 in News
ARGUMENTS about a controversial Hagley housing application will continue over Christmas after planners shelved the issue at the last minute.
Bromsgrove District Council's planning committee was due to give their verdict a proposal by Cala Homes for a 175-property development on Monday night (December 3).
However the item was withdrawn just before the planning meeting was due to start following threats of a legal challenge from Hagley and Clent Parish Councils.
Hagley Parish Council chairman Steve Colella revealed Bromsgrove Council had received a letter from a barrister on Monday afternoon raising concerns about a report by council officers recommending the plan should be approved.
Cllr Colella said: "The purpose of this advice is to consider the lawfulness of a decision by the committee if it were to grant permission.
"The concern was raised in the formal objections from me, Hagley PC, Clent PC and from the appointed planning consultants (RCA) but was not sufficiently recognised in the officer's report."
Protestors argue the homes, earmarked for a site on Kidderminster Road, would put too much pressure on village roads, schools and medical services.
The item was pulled from the agenda after council bosses decided they needed to seek their own legal advice before making on a decision.
Leading anti-Cala campaigner, Francesca Evans, from Hagley, said: "I think we have shown them we mean business and that we have grounds to stop this going ahead.
"The barrister's letter summed up concerns that due process had not been followed, and that the land had to be treated legally as greenbelt. It questioned a number of assumptions by the case officer as being inaccurate."
Cala Homes say their plans include a million pound contribution to road upgrades in Hagley while other services will also get cash boosts for improvements to cope with extra residents.
Darren Humphreys, regional managing director for Cala Homes Midlands, said: "We understand Bromsgrove District Council's decision to defer while they consider the points raised by the parish council in their legal opinion submitted on Monday afternoon.
"We will continue to work with the district council and understand that a decision on our application will be made at the next available committee."
Although no new date was set for the application to be considered, a spokesman said Bromsgrove District councillors are keen to deal with the matter as soon as possible.
Cllr Colella added: "It extends the period of uncertainty for all parties, however, the legality and appropriateness of the site for development has been raised on many occasions over several years by Hagley Parish Council and the elected ward councillors.
"All parties need to be sure that the correct process has been followed."

No to CALA says...
It may cost CALA £1million to put in traffic lights, cycle ways, pedestrian routes and an sixth exit.
It's no upgrade.
It's the bare minimum to get the application passed.

ozpat says...
Spitting the dummy again No To Cala! All their proposals are upgrades that is part of the agreement. The recent planning investigation into traffic pollution, flow, flooding, change in environmental aspects etcetera have all been met and a "no objection" verdict concluded. If these are the minimum required as you put it, then why would you not want something better? I guess we shall have to see what 7th Jan brings, I do hope the build goes ahead and the whole community benefits from the upgrades and prosperity to the area they will bring!

Before I started this campaign I believed that 'experts' actually came out to sites and would have a good overall understanding of the positioning of a potential development site and that all their calculations were done in an unbiased way, putting the needs of a current community first. However I have come to see that this is not the case - 'modelling' reports are used which are easy to manipulate when a particular outcome is specified. Some other 'experts' don't come out to site, they assess from maps/models and won't know the area personally or have experienced the peculiarities of the Hagley traffic system which is outdated and does need investment. I think most people can see that it needs full overhaul not a half baked scheme like this (unless they have their fingers in some Cala pie and aren't thinking of others, only their own profit) . Maybe Lord C should sell off some DIFFERENT areas of his land that won't impact everyone as badly, put in the services and infrastructure the community actually wants plus parking and the council and developers can work together with the community efficiently.

Noise pollution has not been looked at and is one reason why houses are difficult to sell in certain parts of Hagley.
Worcester County council and Bromsgrove District Council never even looked at that.
Why would residents trust Cala Homes measurements alone? Would anybody?
The air pollution action plan has not even got off the ground yet with Worceste Regs not even done ANY regular air quality measurements since the AQMA was started by BDC three years ago>

neil53 says...
Clearly, you have not read the barrister's letter to Bromsgrove District Planners which, not being a Hagley, resident, is not available to you.
The letter sets out clearly why trained legal brains feel the entire housing estate proposal.has been illegal from the very start and has therefore cost the taxpayer ( not counting Lord Cobham and Cala Homes) thousands of pounds.
Write to our parishcouncil. They might email a copy to " aconcerned Aussie"!

As you so obviously point out , no I do not live in Hagley, but regardless where I live I have the freedom of speech, my interest is investment for my family still living there, so yes I do have the right to comment! secondly this is clearly spurious and clear demonstration of assumptive ignorance at work:
"Ozpat. We have said this before. You do not qualify, living Down Under to make comments about a village you have not seen, from your last admission, for years." strange as I was there in June, and do have the right to spend and invest in exactly what I like when I like, one thing has certainly not changed though the "Oh I live in Hagley" arrogance. I have access to the letter Neil53 but I am surprised you do not already know that as you seem to know everything about me! as for trained legal brains ( if you possess anything close to a brain) you would realise these people will argue for who ever has the money for them to do so! hardly a positive is it! From a concerned UK \ Australian citizen - thought you would have known that as well! ignorance bless em eh!

Yes they could build a young offenders centre or create a site for traveller communities. Given the protestors mentality they accept that! The government could build an immigration processing centre or perhaps a prison, rehabilitation centre for pedophiles and rapists. Lets hope some enterprising individual has the opportunity for such facilities should housing be refused, after all services are being overstretched and need to dealt with somewhere. Care in the community I believe it is called.

The fact remains that this is an unsuitably large development with no infrastructure. It is not just those in Hagley who will suffer, but anyone who commutes in or out of the Black Country or Birmingham via the A456

Get a voice of your own and listen to reason. Stop following the NIMBY, easily influenced masses and join the voice of reason, and see the bigger picture, all your points will be improved and proposals to improve the ares given, join the ignorant and do without, improve your situation and prosper the choice is yours. Just look beyond the rhetoric and village ideal and you will see reality.

What have you done! David 1875 is having a full meltdown!
May I suggest that any attempt to garner reason from the unreasonable is as pointless as the objector themselves. They* consistently fail to see what will benefit them, and would accept their poor current infrastructure over positive benefit at all costs. Regardless of the facts and evidence before them they will only ever accept what their fantasy tells them is correct, yet conversely are the first to moan that they don't have better services, how can anyone reason with that? I can see your point, though the average objector would not as they are living in "their Village" and as you may have observed, as I do not, the mentality and predictable attitude directed towards me on so many occasions is "the outsider" has no right to comment let alone invest financially in "their Village" They are so self obsessed with elitism that that they unable to see past their own selfish pomposity for the needs of others. As for parking and traffic issues as mentioned above, I have said it before and I shall say it again, it has only now surfaced as a " problem" how coincidental eh!, you will find that these "problems" have always been there but no one has until now done anything about them or drawn attention to them? so really how much of a "problem are they then?"
* by "They" I am of course referring to the demonstrable NIMBY behaviours and attitudes so clearly displayed here.

It is Hagley residents have a say, it is Hagley residents who have to live with the final decision.
If you don't live in Hagley then it's none of your business! Do you contribute any taxes to the area? Do you volunteer/ attend any clubs in Hagley? Do your childran/ grandchildren attend school in Hagley, do you own a business or property in Hagley? If the answers no then I suggest you worry about the politics where you DO live.
I don't live in Hagley & wouldn't dream of tellin them how to run their own village.
Your mentality reminds me of Tony Blair 'I have my opinion and no one else can change my mind because I'm right' but that's not how life works sweetheart to be a grown up you have to learn to value others opinions whether they are right or wrong (it's also called respect) I would suggest you learn how to relate to people! You never know you might make friends!!!!!

It's the same in voting, you don't vote, don't moan.
I would not pick a side for this argument as I live in a different village a few miles away & quite frankly it's not of my business. If Hagley residents don't want this new housing estate then that's your business, you know what's best for you, just as we know what's best for our village. If you say no to Cala then I totally respect your opinion as a grown up should.
Stick to your guns Hagley & be proud to know your fighting for what's right for you!

I have paid and continue to pay taxes, I am considering investment business and residential property and my family do contribute as I did when I lived in the UK, is this not enough right for you? so whats your point exactly? I have the right to my opinion and NIMBYISM needs to outed, hiding behind localism is not justification for selfishness. I object to the trolling comment, as it is you that has come out to attack my opinion so go check the troll definition before applying to others. David 1875, that was exactly my point, localism eh, the traffic issues have been there for some years yet it has not been taken to the fore the same way as the Cala issue and it is easy enough to blame BDC or police than push the issue to resolution, this is the example of exactly what I have been saying all along, moan about an issue, do nothing to resolve it then blame everyone else for the problem, I take it you don't drive and contribute to the problem then! That issue aside can you tell me why investors should be interested in Hagley if this is the pervading attitude.

No money for new infrastructure!!!

How simple does it have to be for you to understand!!!
well my friend the contribution that is proposed is going to be majority funded from the private sector isn't it! CALA (try to stay on track now)- Simple enough for even you to understand so I had thought! you claim lack of of funding and someone walks along and offers the money to assist and improve the infrastructure and you decry it, if thats not simplicity itself then your understanding is clearly downright stupidity! is that simple enough for you?

Lil77 says...
You are not a Valid member of Our society therefore irrevelant. Your opinion albeit your own is still invalid as you do not live here, I would only take an interest in your opinion if you lived in Hagley Now and contribute to their society in person not from thousands of miles away over a computer. Like I said before spend time taking concern for the area you live in now.
I will not be answering anymore of your comments as you are argumentitive and thrive on attention, the best way to deal with people like is to ignore and ignore I shall! When you have moved to UK and have paid relevent taxes please feel free to let me know and we will thrash out this argument again over a debating table face to face. Until then I shall leave this page and not indulge you by even reading your retort, as young sir I am sure you feel the need to. I wish you luck in the future hope you find a path in life that makes you a productive member of your own society.

It is obvious to all readers that there is no love lost between David and Ozpat who continually use this forum to put their points of view across, be it vehemently at times.
Therefore, bearing in mind it is suppose to be the season of goodwill, would you please both agree to disagree and move on. Or at the very least call a ceasefire until January 7th 2013 and then communicate directly with each other rather than on this platform!
Merry Christmas!

But I think you will find I have already concluded on that point anyway.

Warner Chilcott PLC (WCRX): Today's Featured Health Care Loser
Warner Chilcott (WCRX) pushed the Health Care sector lower today making it today's featured Health Care loser. The sector as a whole closed the day up 1.3%. By the end of trading, Warner Chilcott fell 32 cents (-1.6%) to $20.12 on average volume. Throughout the day, 2.8 million shares of Warner Chilcott exchanged hands as compared to its average daily volume of 3.2 million shares. The stock ranged in price between $19.92-$20.51 after having opened the day at $20.44 as compared to the previous trading day's close of $20.44. Other company's within the Health Care sector that declined today were: MediciNova (MNOV), down 42.9%, Catalyst Pharmaceutical Partners (CPRX), down 34.5%, Urologix (ULGX), down 13.7%, and Senesco Technologies (SNT), down 9.3%. Warner Chilcott plc, a specialty pharmaceutical company, focuses on the development, manufacture, and promotion of branded pharmaceutical products in women's healthcare, gastroenterology, dermatology, and urology segments in North America and western Europe markets. Warner Chilcott has a market cap of $5.03 billion and is part of the drugs industry.

TheStreet Ratings rates Warner Chilcott as a buy. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its notable return on equity, compelling growth in net income, expanding profit margins and impressive record of earnings per share growth. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had generally poor debt management on most measures that we evaluated.

Hi Subhasish,
Apologies for the late reply. The VAT breakdown of any transaction in Cargo (including RMs) is only applicable to the net amount. Which means that in case of RMs, the breakdown will be applicable for 'VAT Difference' only. In the below example, there is a VAT difference of USD 5.700 for the AWB breakdown, so the VAT breakdown will only sum up to the 5.7 dollars.
And the node used will be Billed.
Hope this clarifies.

Dear Team,
Could you please let us know regarding the below query.
Thanks and Regards,
From: Posted: 7/9/2012 11:03 AMSubject: '@Name' Attribute at TaxBreakdown for CGO
This is regarding the TaxAmount @Name present at the TaxBreakdown Node.
SIS P3 - IATA IS XML Invoice Standard - V3.2.xls states that
"At the LineItemDetail level:* Attribute Name is Mandatory Dictionary defined: 'Billed', 'Accepted', 'Difference'* Attribute 'Accepted', 'Difference' to be provided in case of Rejection Memos* VAT Amount should be equal to Taxable Amount * TaxPercent / 100"
However the provided samples only have the value for 'Billed' at TaxBreakdown Level:
Invoice : AC1PNOVSK3 (This is a Rejection Memo)
- <Tax>
<TaxAmount Name="Billed">0.000</TaxAmount>
<TaxAmount Name="Accepted">-5.700</TaxAmount>
<TaxAmount Name="Difference">5.700</TaxAmount>
- <TaxBreakdown>
<TaxAmount Name="Billed">5.700</TaxAmount>
<TaxText>VAT on Other Charges</TaxText>
Is there any specific criteria other than being Rejection Memo for which the amounts corresponding to 'Accepted', 'Difference' would be provided at TaxBreakdown.

SAN DIEGO -- The Giants announced Friday that they will dedicate their next home game, Tuesday's series opener against the Los Angeles Dodgers, to victims of the San Bruno fire.The team will donate $3 from every ticket sold to the City of San Bruno Glenview Fire Victims Fund and will collect donations from fans attending the game. Among the luckier residents was Cincinnati Reds manager Dusty Baker, who has kept his Bay Area home since leaving the Giants. The fires raged uncomfortably close to Baker's property. "That's about three blocks from my San Francisco house that I've had for 15 years," Baker told Cincinnati-area reporters. "My son had some schoolmates that lost their houses. My daughter had some schoolmates that lost their houses." Suddenly, the Reds' 1-6 record on their recent trip seemed less significant. "It sort of eased my pain last night about the road trip by putting things in the proper perspective," Baker said. "This is very important, but when I think about those people, they'd trade with me in a minute."
Posey rests in night game vs. Padres
SAN DIEGO -- Continuing to focus on the big picture, manager Bruce Bochy kept catcher Buster Posey out of Friday night's lineup against the San Diego Padres.Dual factors contributed to Bochy's decision to rest Posey. Eli Whiteside, who replaced Posey, has worked well with Jonathan Sanchez, Friday's starting pitcher for San Francisco. Also, giving Posey, 23, a break Friday would enable him to play Saturday afternoon without feeling too fatigued. Said Bochy, "He's a young guy, we grind him pretty hard and occasionally he needs a break. That's all this is." Bochy added that Posey, who's batting .286 (8-for-28) while hitting safely in six of seven games on the Giants' current trip, would benefit more from resting completely than by playing first base -- which would keep his bat in the lineup while sparing him from the rigors of catching. Posey insisted that he felt no lingering effects from a pair of foul tips that struck his mask Thursday night.
"I've had worse," he said, though he admitted, "Both of them were direct. It happens. You'll go 10 games and not get any, then you'll go five pitches and get two. It's part of it."Posey understood that occasional breaks will help sustain him in the long run.
"I'd rather miss a day than miss a week, I guess," he said.The Rookie of the Year candidate still aspires to be a workhorse behind the plate.
"I want to be the type of guy who, when I have a full season at catcher, will be up among the league leaders in games caught," Posey said. "But you have to be smart about it."
Sanchez's offense meeting own expectations
SAN DIEGO -- Freddy Sanchez is experiencing the kind of success that he intended to sustain since he joined the Giants last season.Entering Friday, Sanchez had hit .400 (34-for-85) in 22 games since Aug. 12. His is the Major Leagues' third-best average in that stretch, behind only A.J. Pierzynski of the Chicago White Sox (.407) and Carlos Gonzalez of the Colorado Rockies (.402). This surge has raised Sanchez's batting average from .255 to .289. He expected to maintain this sort of production after the Giants acquired him on July 29, 2009, for right-handed pitching prospect Tim Alderson. But though Sanchez hit .284 for San Francisco a season ago, injuries limited him to 25 games. "This is what I wanted to do last year," said Sanchez, who also contributed two above-average defensive plays Friday to deny San Diego's Adrian Gonzalez of base hits. "You're not going to have good days every day, obviously, but I wanted to come in, do the best that I could do for these guys and help them win a pennant."
Worth noting
In another offense-related item, the Giants' home runs in the third through sixth innings Thursday marked the first time they homered in four consecutive innings since Aug. 16, 2007, at Atlanta, where Bengie Molina, Dan Ortmeier, Randy Winn and Kevin Frandsen went deep in innings one through four.

A proposed heliport project won't be taking flight, at least for now.
The city's plan commission put a proposed zoning change on hold that would have paved the way for Chicago Helicopter Express to open a new facility along the bank of the Chicago River's South Branch.
The facility would include helicopter landing and departure pads, a riverside water taxi dock an observation deck and more.
There is no word when the project will be put back on the table.

"But if you try sometimes, you might find/ You get pretty close". And boys and girls we did get an awful lot of what we wanted Saturday. Let's check shall we?
*) "Projects style beatdown"- oh yeah, 'cept it was like the victim said sumpin' 'bout someone's momma', 'n got a cap busted on his hay'd 'for the beatdown be done.
*) Special teams-return team even Steven; coverage team(?)-not so much. Instead of toilet paper on pretty woman's high heel coverage team more like like her having a trace, noticeable and impossible to ignore,of a moustache.
*) Burks/Hiwat got 2 catches each; yes.
*) South getting $ time; yes. Fumble? Teachable moment; up 48-0 good time to learn. Cough's cough-up? he should already be teached (more projects talk).
*) Backup running crew getting reps-also good. Matt the K solidifies my perception of good utility back, Mr. All-Around.
*) Didn't seem to get to 3rd level on DT rotation (?) but Nisby/T-n-T look capable of handling mucho snaps.
*) LBs-Tommie was out there, really have a lot of good looking guys for LB rotation.
*) Gavins looked a little overplayed. Taylor one-game suspended; sort of like having a loose tooth. Stay tuned.
*) -29 yards rushing. Whenever you can dominate a Div I team like that its impressive. I know SJSU is down; but our D-line is sick.
*) Backup O-line looks pretty good. Myers let a guy get to KM; but I stil think he's very good.

Norwegian DAB+ Networks Build-out Continues On Pace
Aug 27, 2013 - Norkring has activated DAB+ transmitters for Møre og Romsdal, a region in Norway to the north and west of Oslo. The company has installed 44 transmitters in just more than one year. The first installations of DAB+ transmitters were made in Gamlemsveten, near Alesund, in May 2012. Reinsfjell was put in to trial operation in July 2012.
Norkring is building two networks throughout Norway: one for NRK (the government-owned, public broadcaster) and one for commercial stations. The networks will have the nationwide capacity for 40 different stations, and Norkring expects completion of the entire system by the end of 2014. Ultimately, 700 DAB+ transmitter sites are expected to cover 99.5 percent of the nation's population. Currently plans are in the works to completely sunset FM broadcasting in Norway in 2017.

Workers at the Alon refinery in Big Spring, Texas say they are making significant progress and moving closer to getting the refinery reactivated.
Workers are still sorting through all of the piping material and debris, but they do expect to get the plant running months before they expected. Officials say the work is all part of a process to find out what caused last week's explosion that started in an area called a propylene spitter.
This week crews have been working to get rid of all their excess fuel. That will allow them to expedite the clean up process.
OSHA has also been at the plant conducting an investigation.
Alon officials say they are thankful that many of the businesses they work with on a daily basis have been helping.
"We have had a good response from all those folks," said Jeff Brorman, Tech. Manager of Alon. "They have all offered to do whatever they need to do. They have offered their services. Offered their products to get this plant back up in running. It has been amazing to see the response from all the folks we do business with."
Alon managers say they've set a pretty aggressive schedule and plan to use all their workers to make quick progress.

Fraser-Pryce talks about life in London before the start of the Olympics
A few days from the start of this year's Olympic Games in London, Digicel, proud sponsors of the Jamaica Olympic team and sponsor of Olympic gold medallist Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, recently spoke to the champion about food, training, her idols and her preparations for the start of the Olympics.
When asked about staying connected and grounded, Fraser-Pryce says being away from home and family has its challenges, nevertheless, she thanks God every day for her blessings, which include her husband Jason Pryce, with whom she stays connected to using her Digicel 4G Mobile phone.
In between training and perfecting her sprint technique, the Beijing 100m gold medallist says she hopes to visit Buckingham Palace while she is in London and satisfies her hunger with some authentic Jamaican food. Her favourite dish — curried chicken seasoned with Grace Foods' Jamaican herbs and spices, — is a regular staple in her diet that keeps her energised.
On the subject of training and the competition, she says: "At this stage of the athletics season, it is not about intensity, it is now more about fine-tuning and getting everything right; I do not have a number one competitor, all ladies who earn a lane in the final are worthy competitors."
In terms of Jamaican Olympians who inspire her, she immediately references Merlene Ottey, the 51-year-old Jamaican sprinter, who, in her 30-year career, amassed 34 medals in all major competitions, has made the most Olympic appearances of any track and field athlete in the history of the Games. Fraser-Pryce admires Ottey's determination over the years as she has been "holding it down for a long time" for female Jamaican sprinters.
Since 2008, Digicel has been a proud sponsor of Fraser-Pryce, the reigning women's 100m Olympic champion. She recently broke Jamaica's national record to win the women's 100m final at the Jamaica Athletics Administrative Association/Supreme Ventures Limited (JAAA/SVL) National Senior Championships. At this year's Olympic Games, she is set to face the likes of American sprinter, the reigning women's 100m World champion, Carmelita Jetter, her fellow teammates, women's 200m Olympic Gold medallist and 100m silver medallist, Veronica Campbell-Brown and Kerron Stewart, respectively, as well as Nigeria's fastest woman, Blessing Okagbare.
To date, Fraser-Pryce has won eight medals in her 10-year athletics career at both the Youth and World Championships, being one of only two female sprinters to hold both the World and Olympic 100m titles simultaneously.

Asbestos News
North Carolina apartment complex to undergo asbestos abatementThe discovery of asbestos in all 138 of the apartments at Creekwood South public housing complex in Wilmington, North Carolina, will reportedly delay initial renovation plans and add money to the overall price tag.
According to the Star News, Wilmington Housing Authority CEO Mike Krause told the organization's board of commissioners that the amount of asbestos in the individual apartments exceeds that which is permissible.
Still, Krause added that it "isn't a level that should create panic," according to the news source.
The housing authority's board recently voted for a change order on the renovation project to Central Builders Inc. for removing asbestos from the first 60 apartments for a cost not exceeding $313,027, the news provider said.
"This was something we didn't anticipate," Krause told the board, adding that the asbestos survey that was conducted was ultimately required by the tax credit funding the $14 million renovation project.
Ensuring asbestos is properly handled and removed from buildings under renovation is crucial, as the dangerous mineral fibers can become airborne when loosened during such work. The inhalation of these fibers can cause lung cancer, asbestosis and malignant mesothelioma, a rare form of cancer.
