The first chapter of 2 Peter exhorts Christians to add seven character traits to their faith. Saving faith is the same precious commodity for all who have believed in our God and Savior Jesus Christ, and it has been secured by his
rigthteousness when he died for our sins and then rose again from the dead.
The struggles of the first battles are over. The soldiers who fought them are now safely home. They can dream of doing things they once did…but for some, it will only be a dream.
These soldiers have returned scarred and disabled. The next battle, much harder and longer than the first, is just beginning. The disabled soldiers will need the committed love and help of others to endure their struggle.
Those who choose to care for them are angels in our presence. These angels are real. This is one such story. It is true.

Just in time for Veteran's Day, a county employee has been named to two of the top spots in the state when it comes to veterans affairs.
Robin Helms, who was appointed director of the Veterans Affairs Office in Lancaster in 2010, took office as president of the S.C. Association of County Veterans Affairs Officers on July 1 of this year, a position she will hold until June of 2016. She was also appointed to serve on the S.C. Veterans Trust Fund board in June of this year.
Editor's note: We are reprinting this Remember When column, which was originally published in the Nov. 8, 2008, edition of The Lancaster News, at the request of our readers.
At one time, the significance of Nov. 11 – Veterans Day – wasn't lost on anyone.
Of course, World War I ended years before I was born, but Uncle Harry made sure I was well-schooled on what he called the War to End All Wars.
There was a bunch of World War I soldiers around, too.

From information I've been able to find about the community of Anahim Lake, it's located in west central British Columbia and boasts a population of somewhere between 1,500 and under 400, depending on which website you visit. The town is surrounded by lakes, mountains and nearly indescribable beauty but although there's a general store and a small airport, you won't find a hockey rink.
As a child Carey Price wanted to play hockey. Not only did his father sense he had potential to excel in the game, he believed in him enough that several times each week he would drive him back and forth to practice, three and a half hours each way. Mr. Price saw what others may not have seen: Carey had what it took to become Canada's star goaltender in the 2014 Sochi hockey playoffs.
In an article written by Frank Luba and published in the February 23, 2014 issue of The Province, Carey's uncle recalls those early days of both obscurity and promise. Carey's practice rink? In his backyard at Corkscrew Creek. His ambition? To be a goaltender.
Fast forward a decade or so and all that hard work, dedication and determination to succeed have thrust Carey into the world's spotlight; no one was more convinced that it could be done than his father.
Throughout time there have been men and women who have made a difference in this world although they've come from most unlikely places in life: as a child Albert Einstein was slow in learning how to speak, so slow in fact, that his parents consulted a doctor. Some said he would never amount to much. Schubert was born into a poor family, lived only 32 years yet centuries later his music continues to stir our hearts.
Feeling obscure and unlikely for success? All heaven believes in you!

Random acts of generosity. Love the gesture.
I'm not sure where you're eating and what your tabs are, but if I were a server and I got a $20 bill in a white envelope marked 'Thanks for what you do for me," I'd be plenty pleased. Don't forget some of the other restaurant players: the host who finds you a good table, the busser who does something extra for you, etc. In other words, waiters are a big part of enhancing the restaurant experience, but they're not the only ones making good things happen for you.
Happy rainy Wednesday, everyone. Thanks for spending the next hour with me on the day before Thanksgiving. What's everyone cooking, or where is everyone going, for the big feast?
CHEF NEWS: Katie Busch turns out to be the replacement for Ed Hardy at the convivial Bistro Vivant in McLean.
A Philadelphia native, Busch, 29, most recently worked as executive chef at Hospada, a Czech restaurant in New York. Previously, she was a sous chef at Aureole by Charlie Palmer and David Burke Townhouse and the lead line cook at ( the launch of) The Modern, also in the Big Apple.
Busch starts her new gig Dec. 2 and plans to tweak the rustic French menu she inherits only after tasting the whole script. But she says she expects to lighten up the selection with some fresh fish ideas.
In last week's chat, Hardy told me he says he plans to help Ian Boden of the recently-shuttered Glas Haus Kitchen in Charlottesville with his pop-ups, as well as Benjamin Lambert at Goodstone Inn in Middleburg. Hardy is also investigating locations for pop-ups of his own, in DC and Clarendon.
Let's rock & roll.

Godich: Repeating his pattern from the U.S. Open and British Open, Tiger Woods was solid if not spectacular for two rounds, only to disappoint on the weekend. When it was over, he offered up that he came out on Saturday too relaxed. Say what? What's really going on? I believe Tiger is finally showing his vulnerability, knowing every major that passes without a victory is an opportunity lost to close on Jack? How do you explain Tiger's lost weekends?
Bamberger: His head.
Shipnuck: It's simple -- his self-belief has been shattered. That's tougher to fix than any swing flaw.
Gorant: Looks like he just ain't good enough right now. He can't hit the shots or make the putts when he needs them.
Hanger: He didn't look too relaxed to me. It's such a tired expression, but I agree with many, including Mr. Bamberger, that he "wants it too much" now. Since the scandal, everything's been harder, and he is pressing on these major weekends.
Herre: I didn't think he looked relaxed at all on Saturday. In fact, I thought he looked annoyed. Also thought he made the mistake of trying to do too much, short-siding himself a couple of times by trying to be perfect. That's the thing with Tiger these days -- sometimes he has it, and sometimes he doesn't. Sometimes he can pull off the perfect shot, and sometimes it gets him in trouble. Sometimes he makes everything, and sometimes he struggles on the greens.
Shipnuck: I don't know, I was out there walking with him and he seemed strangely disengaged. Something was definitely missing. I guess it was intensity.
Dusek: This is what Tiger now is, an excellent player on a tour full of excellent players. He'll win tournaments, and I think he'll win another major, but like Vijay, Bo Van Pelt, Ian Poulter and lots of other guys not named McIlroy this week, he couldn't put four very good rounds together. He missed several putts short on Sunday morning and never ran together a string of birdies to create buzz or momentum. I explain Tiger's lost weekend by accepting that he'll never be the player he was.
Van Sickle: When conditions were tough, with Friday's high winds, his shotmaking skills gave him an edge over the field. He can still play shots. With little wind, he has no edge. And his wedge play, especially his distance control, is a weakness. He's still got a ways to go to be consistent enough to win with regularity.
Ritter: I also think he's pressing. He had a chance to win three out of the year's four majors heading into Saturday. It's shocking that he failed to break par on any of his eight weekend rounds in the majors. The pressure is affecting him much differently from the way it did in his heyday.
Wei: It's all between the ears. I think he is feeling the heat, and he wants it so badly that he puts too much pressure on himself.
Walker: He's been through a lot. The important takeaway from 2012 is that Tiger's not that far off. And once he wins that 15th major, 18 is going to look a lot closer.
Godich: But because of his inability to finish the deal, you could argue that he is that far off. He has also lost the intimidation factor.
Tell us what you think in the comments section below: How do you explain Tiger's lost weekends? Will his win a major in 2013?
Godich: When a guy wins by eight, it's easy to overlook quality play by others in the field. Which player not named Rory were you most impressed with?
Herre: Adam Scott had a nice bounce-back from the British, and of course Pettersson was terrific, especially in light of his penalty on the first hole on Sunday. Bradley also had a good week.
Bamberger: Vijay. He is still so good at 49.
Dusek: Carl Pettersson. He was at or near the top of the leaderboard all week, drained some nice putts and didn't seem to wilt in the spotlight. He didn't make enough birdies, and there were some loose shots to be sure, but Carl showed some guts.
Ritter: It was great to see him put up back-to-back birdies after he was slapped with that ridiculous penalty. Wouldn't be surprised to see him bag a major sometime soon.
Reiterman: A week after winning at Firestone, Bradley, the defending champ, finished T3. Can we please get Keegan and Rory a late tee time next April?
Van Sickle: Bradley probably set the record for getting the least air-time of any third-place finisher at a major. Who did he tick off at CBS?
Herre: And John Daly, who has actually been playing pretty well this year.
Garrity: Harrington. No, he was never in contention, but he's been getting better week by week. He might surprise us with an Els-at-Lytham-style victory somewhere.
Wei: Carl Pettersson. He's a great underdog, and sneaky funny. To be told you were assessed a two-shot penalty from the first hole (silly penalty, IMHO) on the fourth tee could have completely thrown him off. His reaction was classic. The rules official told him and Carl said "f---" and kept walking. About 30 seconds later, he stopped and asked the official if he was sure. The answer was yes. Pettersson birdied the next two holes. Tough penalty because it didn't give him an advantage or affect the outcome of the shot.
Godich: How is removing that leaf on his takeaway any different from removing it with his hand before he addresses the ball? Silly rule? Maybe. But it was enforced correctly.
Gorant: The ones that defy logic always bug me, but as the rule exists it was called correctly. Annoying but correct.
Van Sickle: The penalty doesn't fit the crime. One shot, instead of two, would be a lot more tolerable. But I also think you ought to have a fair chance to swing at a ball and not be penalized for that. Something else for the ruling bodies to consider for the 2016 rules conference.
Shipnuck: Gotta be Poulter. He was electric for a good long while. He was too far back at the start to ever win, but he made the day a lot more fun.

Out of contention themselves, the Jays managed to deal some Read more →
What's Wrong with the Blue Jays?
There's a commonly referenced baseball idiom that states pitching is the key to winning. Starting pitching, in fact is often cited as the driving factor behind winning teams. Sometimes the rhetoric is widened slightly to include pitching and defence, as if every game was settled by a 1-0 or 2-1 score.
In truth, the key to winning isn't much of a mystery. It's simply a matter of outscoring one's opponents on a regular basis. For this reason, run differential has become a fairly accurate predictor of team performance. Bill James, one of the pioneers of statistical analysis, developed what he coined Pythagorean win-loss expectancy, which uses runs for and runs against to estimate a team's won-lost record.
Of course, outscoring one's opponent isn't quite so uni-dimensional as running out great starting pitching every day. Rather, there are two equally important components: scoring runs (via batting, base-running, and taking into account situational hitting) and preventing runs (the aforementioned pitching and defence).
Factoring into these basic tenets is the dreaded topic of injuries. A team will maximize its performance by fielding its best players on a regular basis. Injuries often result in bench players being forced into regular roles, or even worse, calling upon the infamous 'replacement level' player to step in.
And lastly, as sports fans know all-too-well, there is the element of luck. Sometimes teams that aren't very good and don't have strong run differentials manage to win a lot of games. The 2012 Baltimore Orioles are an example of this phenomenon. That team won 93 games, despite scoring only 7 more runs than it allowed over the course of 162 games. That's a significant over-performance over the 82 wins one might have expected. In contrast, the 2012 Philadelphia Phillies sported a +4 RF/RA differential, and not surprisingly, won 81 games, exactly what Bill James' formula would have predicted. When this dichotomy exists, we tend to look at a team's record in either one-run or extra-inning games as examples of luck. Baltimore's was historically good in 2012, with a 29-9 record in games decided by one run a 16-2 mark in extra inning affairs. On the other hand, the Phillies were 25-27 in one run games, and 7-10 in extra innings, records that are far more consistent with the team's overall performance.
Turning our attention to the 2013 Toronto Blue Jays, we can look at each one of these factors to determine how significant of a role it has played in the team's disappointing start. But before we do that, I urge each and every one to remember that the season is very young. We're only 20 games into the long season. One only has to look back to last season, when the Oakland Athletics rebounded from a slow start to eventually reach the playoffs. The A's were 26-35, 9 games out on June 10, but managed to win 94 games en route to the AL West title. In Toronto's history, the 1989 Blue Jays were famously 12-24, a dreadful 12 games under .500 but managed to pull things together and win the AL East division, despite a poor start.
Through 20 games, the Jays have combined to produced a paltry .227 / .293 / .385 (.678 OPS) slash line. Put in other terms, the team gets on base as if it were a lineup full of J.P. Arencibia types and collectively hits with the power of Maicer Izturis. Neither of those are good benchmarks. The offence ranks 12th of 15 AL teams by OPS, very disappointing for a club that expected its powerful offence to be a strong point. The Blue Jays' 21 HRs are good for 6th in the league, but with few runners on base, it hasn't been enough. With runners in scoring position, the hitters have fared equally poorly, posting a .654 OPS.
Grade: F
Speed on the basepaths was expected to be another strength of the 2013 Blue Jays' offence. The team has managed 15 stolen bases in its first 20 games, good for 3rd best in the AL. Overall, the Jays are 15-for-17 in stolen base attempts, good for an excellent 88% success rate. Rajai Davis and the injured Jose Reyes lead the team with 5 steals a piece. Surprisingly, Emilio Bonificacio, who's value is largely tied to his legs, has yet to attempt a single stolen base. A .237 OBP is likely part of the cause – as the saying goes, "you can't steal first base".
Grade: B+
The starting pitching was admittedly shaky through the first 10 or so games, but has since settled into much more acceptable territory. Overall, the Jays sport a 4.48 ERA, good for 12th best in the AL, but trending in the right direction of late. R.A. Dickey and J.A. Happ have looked the best of the bunch, and Mark Buehrle is coming off an excellent start. However, the struggles of Brandon Morrow and Josh Johnson, both power arms that were expected to be strengths of the rotation, are troubling. The starters have posted a 5.30 ERA through four turns of the rotation, a number that almost certainly has to improve. The bullpen has been a strong point thus far, posting a 3.24 ERA that has been bloated mostly by the rotating cast of 7th and 8th members of the 'pen. The four worst ERAs belong to Edgar Gonzalez, Ramon Ortiz, Dave Bush and Jeremy Jeffress – which leads one to ask the question – is the team actually helping itself by carrying these replacement level pitchers?
Grade: D
Injuries (we'll get to that in a moment) have kept some of the team's finer defensive players out of the lineup and forced subpar fielders into regular action. The loss of Brett Lawrie through the first two weeks of the season was perhaps felt most. Neither Mark DeRosa nor Maicer Izturis proved suitable replacements, lacking Lawrie's excellent range and strong arm. Rajai Davis often looks lost in right field, and Emilio Bonifacio has continued to struggle no matter where he plays, booting too many balls at second base and taking strange routes on fly balls to the outfield. Catcher J.P. Arencibia struggled in his only start catching R.A. Dickey, as one would expect, given his inexperience handling the knuckleball. The Jays have committed 15 errors, second-most in the AL, while turning a league-low
37 12 (edit: corrected figure) double plays. Hopefully with most of the team's regulars back in action, the ship will begin to right itself.
Grade: D
Every team is forced to deal with injuries, but I'm sure the team and its fans weren't anticipating losing star shortstop Jose Reyes for a half-season. Perhaps more than any player, the Jays were least equipped to deal with the loss of Reyes. The injuries the team has been forced to deal with have unfortunately affected some of the team's most essential components. In addition to the ankle injury Reyes suffered, Jose Bautista has missed 7 games already with ankle and back issues and was limited to DH in two other matches. Reliever Sergio Santos, expected to pitch in high leverage situations is currently on the shelf with lingering tricep soreness, and it's not clear when he'll return. And as mentioned, Brett Lawrie's oblique strain cost him two weeks of game action, and his timing at the plate is still not where it normally would be after missing most of spring training.
Grade: D (it's tough to grade health, but the Reyes injury hurts a ton – excuse the pun)
The team's run differential points to a 7-13 record, actually a game worse than the 8-12 mark the Blue Jays have played to thus far. A couple of early blowouts have largely contributed to this, and with only 20 games played, sample sizes are small. The team is 2-4 in one-run games, and 0-2 in extra innings, two trends that we hope will improve as the season wears on.
Grade: D
And there you have it. Outside of running the bases, the Blue Jays aren't really doing anything well. A team can get by when one of its pitching or hitting gets hot, and when both are firing together, winning streaks are possible. Given the talent that's on the roster, it's far too early to write off the Blue Jays' chances in 2013. That said, the sooner this team starts to figure out how to win, the better.

Daisy Chain
The nursery at Old Hall is operated by Daisy Chain Daycare from 8am to 6pm daily, throughout the year.
The nursery has its own entrance in purpose - built facilities within the school, including a baby unit with two main rooms, a separate cot room and baby kitchen; a large toddler room and two large pre school rooms. All these rooms have direct access to the outdoors with the younger children having a separate outside area away from the older children's outdoor classroom and playground. Daisy Chain share many of the Old Hall facilities including the wonderful grounds; and the older pre-school children use the gym and the school's indoor swimming pool.
Whilst we hope that parents of children using the nursery will choose The Old Hall School as the next stage of their child's development there is no requirement to do so.

During cruise flight in the homebuilt airplane, the pilot observed a rise in engine oil temperature. He elected to make a precautionary landing at a nearby airport; however, engine rpm decreased to where altitude could not be maintained. The pilot initiated a forced landing to a bean field about one mile northeast of the airport. During the landing, the airplane touched down hard, nosed over, and came to rest inverted. An examination of the Corvair automotive engine, by the owner, revealed a stuck oil cooler thermostat valve. The stuck valve was preventing oil from flowing through the oil cooler.

(Editor's Note: The following letter was sent to the Hicksville Illustrated News and the Oyster Bay Town Board and read into the record at the town's Jan. 20 meeting regarding Don't Pass the Gas' request for a special use permit to operate a car wash/gas station in Hicksville. No decision was made at the meeting.)
Concerned citizens of Hicksville please close your eyes. Did you see Old Country Road and Newbridge Road - this four-way busy dangerous traffic intersection with four strip malls and four gas stations? Yes, four. Would you consider it a very dangerous four corners to i.e. disabled, school children, carriages, senior citizens, etc trying to cross over? If not, just take a ride and look.
Well, close your eyes again. On Jan. 20 at 7 p.m. the Town of Oyster Bay Planning Board [was scheduled] to decide on whether or not to allow another new gas station plus a car wash on the southwest corner of Old Country Road and Newbridge. This will be a disaster in the making if allowed.
Cars backing up on the south side of Old Country Road to enter, disrupting free flow of buses and traffic making a right onto Newbridge. Blind spots occur on the southwest. Newbridge will be an "exit" another danger [as] buses are coming across Old Country Road from the north to the bus stop slightly on the southwest side onto Newbridge - another blind spot. More obstruction of free flow traffic. Crossing here are children coming and going to Hicksville High School.
A bit forgotten is a tiny strip mall next to this site, a bit west on Old Country Road, that will certainly be affected by the blockage to their entry while cars wait on line for the car wash.
It is not often we use our privileges as residents but we certainly should more often. The town fathers must listen to you and these are the ways we must use to communicate. Attend a town board meeting. If you are unable to attend, call Supervisor John Venditto's office at 624-6373 or write Supervisor Venditto and the Planning Board, 54 Audrey Avenue, Oyster Bay, NY 11711. Please tell your neighbors.

LAUDERHILL -- Broward Sheriff Nick Navarro has called for increased community involvement in an effort to thwart the county`s growing gang problem. ``There is a word that has become a dirty word among us: sacrifice,`` he said. ``Nobody wants to sacrifice anything anymore.``
Navarro`s speech on Wednesday to the Lauderhill/Lauderdale Lakes Chamber of Commerce addressed how communities could become more involved in dealing with juvenile crime, particularly gang-related crime.

When she receives the news that she has been named in their will she drops everything and goes to Salem Massachusetts to hear the reading.

Melting was so severe on the Greenland ice sheet this summer that some of the scientists there weren?t sure they would be able to get off. "We had come in with a fixed-wing aircraft landing on skis," says Konrad Steffen "If that snow is melting then you cannot leave. As it was, we had to charter a helicopter."
This was a record-breaking year for northern polar ice loss, with surface melt on Greenland the highest in recorded history. The amount of Arctic sea ice also reached a record low. Compared with the northern expansion of vegetation, all this presents a "compelling case that something is going on," says Larry Hinzman, of the University of Alaska.
The loss of Arctic sea ice is "big news," says Hinzman. "Polar sea ice has an important function in moderating the global energy balance." Sea ice has albedo of 0.8, meaning it reflects 80% of the solar radiation. When the sea ice melts you have water, which has an albedo of 0.2. "The sea ice goes from absorbing 20% of solar radiation to absorbing 80%," says Hinzman. This creates further warming. "We're experiencing the most rapid increase in temperature in recorded history,? he says.
All over Alaska, people are asking, "Where's our winter?" It?s been raining in Anchorage long after the first major snowfall should have stuck. The city registered its warmest combined October and November since the National Weather Service began keeping records in 1915. On December 1st, people were water-skiing on a lake north of Anchorage. Buds are forming on trees. Rivers are barely icing over, stranding villagers who use the frozen waterways as roads. "It's crazy," says postmaster Joe Delia, whose property overlooks the still-unfrozen Skwentna River, which can now only be reached by a small airplane. "I believe in global warming now."
In Fairbanks, the rain turns roads into sheets of ice when temperatures finally drop below freezing. "I've been an avid snowmobiler since 1983 and I've never seen a winter like this," says Dan Simmons.
The unusually warm Arctic coast affects Inuit seal hunters who locate their prey by the breathing holes the animals make in the ice. Most winters the ice would already by several feet thick and temperatures would be 20 to 30 degrees below zero, but right now there?s open water and little ice.
Whaling captain George Ahmaogak says, "I wish this warm spell would quit. The earth must be tilting on its axis to affect the weather like this."
Is global warming a temporary or permanent change?or both? Find out the facts from The Coming Global Superstorm, now being made into a major motion picture.

This is our attempt to give you a virtual taste of the stark, nut-scented horror you'll experience when drinking from the Squirrel Attack Porcelain Mug. At the bottom of every mugful of coffee, an angry squirrel lies in wait. Caffeine only makes them angrier. Tea upsets them too. And don't get us started on the perils of drinking hot chocolate.
This item might just make people think twice about feeding squirrels in the park. Or it will make them twice as eager to do so, in hopes of avoiding squirrel wrath. Give the gift of an angry, tree-dwelling rodent lurking at the bottom of a coffe cup or simply get one for yourself here.

The Script
So much has changed for The Script since they released their first album four years ago. First they broke Britain, then the States, then everywhere from Asia to South Africa. Along the way, they toured with U2, Take That and Paul McCartney, sailed through the second album syndrome that sinks so many bands, played to a 55,000-strong crowd at an historic hometown show in Dublin, amassed almost four million followers on Facebook, 1.5 million on Twitter, wracked up 100 million YouTube views, and saw their singer star on TV talent showThe Voice.
The past four years have seen The Script become one of the biggest, best-loved bands in the world - if you want to stack up the stats, the trio have so far sold four million albums and a staggering ten million singles.
They went in all guns blazing this year with '#3' and pulled it out of the bag, striking gold within just two weeks of the album's release and spawning a hit single in Hall of Fame', which was No.1 for two weeks running, stayed in the Top Ten for two months, and at this point in time, has sold almost 400k copies. The album enjoyed five weeks in the Top Ten, the single has been played more than 30k times on UK radio and was No.1 airplay for two weeks. It's the band's biggest selling single so far.
What's more, next year's UK Arena Tour for sold out in a week, with more dates added to meet demand in key cities; proof that The Script don't do anything by halves.
But what's interesting about this band is how little they've changed. In a South London studio, fizzing with excitement about their new songs, the three best friends have lost none of their passion for making music. They're still perfectionists who obsess over every lyric and pour their soul in to songs because they truly believe great music makes a difference.

The Michigan Supreme Court has turned down an appeal from a former top drug prosecutor who was disbarred for allowing perjury at a 2005 trial.
The court won't upset the punishment ordered last spring by the Attorney Discipline Board. Karen Plants was head of the drug unit in the Wayne County prosecutor's office. She allowed an informant and police officers to lie about the informant's role in a 103-pound cocaine bust.
In 2011, Plants pleaded guilty to misconduct in office and was sentenced to six months in jail.
Plants says she was trying to protect the informant's identity but later acknowledged that her actions were wrong.
Under Michigan rules, Plants can seek to have her law license reinstated after five years.

With a jackpot of over a half billion dollars and growing, ticket sales for the $540 million Mega Million lottery drawing are spiking. The lump sum cash equivalent would instantly establish a lucky ticket holder with a greater net worth than actors Will Smith ($188 million) and Leonardo DiCaprio ($200 million) combined.
That kind of cash is bound to bring out excitement. Stephanie Barnhart, the assistant manager at the Acorn Gas Station at 8th Street and Cimarron Street says Mega Millions ticket sales are selling today at a rate 29 times greater than they were a month ago. She expects the line to get even longer ahead of the big drawing tomorrow.
"There's going to be a lot of people rushing in to get that last minute ticket," Barnhart said.
The grand prize had been an even $500 million on Wednesday after Tuesday's drawing failed to produce a jackpot winner. It then grew by another $40 million this morning as a result of the increase in ticket sales overnight.
"That happens when they get a lot of buyers buying the tickets all over," Barnhart said.
She says most of her customers are buying one or two tickets at a time, and some in 5's or 10's. The attendant at the 7-11 on North Nevada and Cache La Poudre said one customer bought $240 in tickets at once.
Heather Black of the Colorado Lottery says the good news of Mega Millions Fever is that the money generated from tickets sales in Colorado will stay in Colorado. In 2011, the state received $8 million in funds for Great Outdoors Colorado, State Parks and the Conservation Trust Fund.

A security guard working at Burke High School is out of a job after a report of sexual contact with a student.
Omaha police investigated the incident but determined there was no crime because the student was of the age of consent and the sex was in fact, consensual.
Even though no laws were broken, OPS policy was and a spokesperson says that the security guard will not be back at any Omaha Public Schools.
OPS also says a background check is completed on all people who work for the district, including outsourced security and volunteers.
WOWT 6 News has reached out to the security company who the security guard works for and will update the story as soon as we hear back.

TranscriptQuestion: How did you become England's Chief Rabbi?
Lord Rabbi Jonathan Sacks: Well, there aren't that many Chief Rabbis. I'm only the sixth since 185… 45, so we've served on average about 30 years each and that's a great luxury because you start young and then you have a lot of time. A lot of people who said to me when I was chosen at the age of 42, aren't you a little young for the job, and I replied, no, in… believe me in this job I'll age rapidly. So… and indeed I found so every 30 years or so there is a year or so of search for the next Chief Rabbi. There's a vote and I won.
Question: Where did the idea of having a Chief Rabbi originally come from?
Lord Rabbi Jonathan Sacks: It was established because in Britain, throughout Europe actually, the Jewish communities constituted as a religious community. And that means that the community must have a head, an official spokesman, if you like, who represents the community, vis-à-vis, the public, vis-à-vis, the other religious leaders, the royal family, the government and the prime minister. It's a kind of semi-ambassadorial semi-diplomatic role and obviously there is a Chief Rabbi of Britain for the same reason, Lehavdil as it were, it's not quite the same thing, as there is an Archbishop of Canterbury in Britain. So there's a head of the Christian church, so there's a head of the Jewish community which is constituted, as I say, as a religious rather than as an ethnic community.
Question: What did you set out to accomplish as Chief Rabbi?
Lord Rabbi Jonathan Sacks: I wanted to turn a rather staid and quite predictable Jewish community, not very creative one, into a much more effervescent community and I think the community really has been transformed. We do things in Anglo Jewry today that are not done anywhere else in the world or if stimulated developments elsewhere in the world, we have something called Limmud where almost 3,000 young people come together to study for a week at the end of the year, studying 600 different courses. Now Limmud has been exported to 47 other places in the world from Moscow to New York and Los Angeles and almost everywhere else, so we have a very vibrant cultural life, which we didn't have before. I wanted to make Anglo Jewry a more religiously knowledgeable community and in 1993, a couple of years into my Chief Rabbinate when I launched my program Jewish Continuity, 25 percent of Anglo-Jewish children went to Jewish day schools. Today, 17 years later, that figure is 65 percent and rising. That means we have built more Jewish day schools in the last 15 years than in all the previous 350 years of Anglo-Jewish history so I'm pretty proud of that.
But in particular I wanted to take the Jewish voice and make it a voice in the human conversation. So I do a great deal of broadcasting for the BBC and other national broadcast media. I do television programs, a lot of radio. I write for the national press. Seven of my books have been serialized in the National press. And when you consider that the Jewish community in Britain is only one-half a percent of the population of Britain, it means that we have an influence out of all proportion to our numbers. I'd like to see the Jewish voice much more self-confident and willing to engage with the world.

Maternal Health
Difficulties in Measurement
Maternal mortality is difficult to measure for both
conceptual and practical reasons, making all estimates
subject to some degree of uncertainty. In many
settings, record keeping is poor, and women's deaths
and their causes may go unreported by families and
In general, the methods used to estimate maternal
deaths (using vital registration systems, household
surveys, census data and reproductive age mortality
studies)(25) provide neither the input needed to design
and monitor prevention programmes nor the information
needed to assess the availability, quantity and
quality of life-saving health services.
Measuring maternal morbidity is also a challenge
for many reasons: facility-based data (hospital case
reviews and discharge surveys, for example) have
inherent biases;(26) clinical monitoring of large populations
of pregnant and post-partum women is
impractical; self-reports do not provide reliable
information; and stigma and fear often make women
reluctant to discuss maternal health and complications.
Despite the difficulties, a number of countries
have, since the ICPD, put in place measures to
improve data collection and record keeping to monitor
maternal death and illness. These include Angola,
Argentina, Bolivia, Cambodia, Cuba, Morocco,
Mozambique, Namibia, Nicaragua, the Philippines,
Senegal, Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe. Saint Vincent and
the Grenadines holds an annual perinatal morbidity
and mortality conference to analyse national data.(27)
The Millennium Development Goal 5, improve maternal health, has a target of reducing the maternal mortality ratio by
three quarters between 1990 and 2015. Besides the maternal mortality ratio—which does not address maternal morbidity—the indicator chosen to measure progress is the proportion of
births attended by skilled health personnel; this does not address the possibility of a woman having a life-threatening complication requiring emergency care.
To measure these aspects, the Millennium Project Task Force on Maternal Health and Child Health has recommended
as an additional target the goal of the ICPD: universal access to reproductive health services by 2015 through primary health care systems. The Task Force further suggests that
additional UN process indicators be used, including the number
of functioning comprehensive and basic emergency obstetric care facilities per 500,000 population and the proportion of births taking place in emergency facilities (at appropriate levels of care). They also urge attention to ensuring equitable access to these facilities. See Sources

Survey: Preference for Materials of Kitchen Knife Handles.
- Chemicalkinetics Jan 29, 2013 05:00 PM
Do you prefer plastic handles?
Wood handles?
Metal handles?
Other handles:
A) Plastic
B) Wood
C) Metal
D) Others
This is about what you prefer to have for most of your knives, not what you currently have. Thanks for your input.
re: Chowrin
Ditto for me. My Least favorite was a Global that I had briefly and sold on Ebay. I know a lot of folks love those knives but for the it wasn't a good fit.
I quite like the Fibrox handles on the Forschner/Victorinox knives. Halfway between plastic and rubber it doesn't slip in your hand, even when covered in grease.
For Japanese knives I quite like the wood handles. They also have enough texture and absorbency not to slip. Personally, I like the feel of the octagonal handles best.
Speaking of Japanese wood handles, I was wondering whether people oil or wax them or just leave them as is.
re: mpad
< I was wondering whether people oil or wax them or just leave them as is.>
Depends. Some of my wood handle knives including Japanese knives are already sealed, so oiling them is pointless. For natural wood or close to natural wood handles, I apply tung oil -- which is a drying oil. The degree of oil I use depends on my need. I can put multiple application of oil to completely seal them, so I can partially seal them.
re: Chemicalkinetics
Does the tung oil change the feel or texture of the wood?
re: mpad
<Does the tung oil change the feel or texture of the wood?>
It does. The first couple applications do not, but the more applications you apply, the closer it comes to feel less tough.
Have you ever use a sealed wood handle or pakkawood handle? A fully tung oil handle feels slightly closer to these.
re: Chemicalkinetics
Thanks. Maybe I'll give it a try on one of my knives and see if I like it.
re: JavaBean
Yeah, I have a Dexter-Russell Traditional boning knife (which means wood handle). After using it a few times, I wish I got the plastic one.
re: Chemicalkinetics
In retrospect, my handle requirements vary depending upon the knife & how I grip it. On select knives like boning knives and heavy cleavers, i hold them as i would a hammer, so their handles need to feel secure and comfortable.
For other knives, i use a pinch grip and am more concerned about the finger choil and spine where the blade meets the handle. Since, i'm not holding the knife by the handle, their handles don't need to do anything, but look decent.
I like the rosewood handles on my Russells, but the handle I like best is morado wood on my Lamson Sharp vintage fillet knife, for the shape as well as the material.
Here is my own answer.
Wood handle (pretty much any kind of wood is fine with me). Overall, I prefer wood handles due to the feel and aesthetic. Plastic is fine, especially for messy knives like a boning knife. Metal handles can be cold to touch during winter. I do appreciate that many metal handles are very easy to clean.
I like wood handles on most knives, for similar reasons to Chem. They are natural and have a nice look and solid feel, and are durable unless used really hard.
Metal is too cold and hard and can be slippery. Plastic is OK, but just does not have the solid natural look and feel of wood.
Overall I prefer a western shaped handle with a moderately ergonomic shape, like Hattori FH. (Nothing radically ergonomic like Shun Ken Onion or crazy like Furi or wild like Jay Fisher knives.)
And I prefer western over Japanese style handles. Why? Because Yo! is so much cooler than Waaaaa!
re: BruceMcK
<Yo! is so much cooler than Waaaaa!>
Ha ha ha. You are the man.
B - Wood.
I prefer wood. I grew up cooking with wooden handled knives, and they are most comfortable in my hand.
Stabilized wood. Wood, but plastic too. No maintenance required. Best of both worlds. Seems to be the baseline these days.
Plastic is too....cheap.
Stag horn. It's the handle on my grandfather's F. Dick sharpening steel, but it's also used for knife handles. Now I only need enough money to buy a Berti knife.
re: Chemicalkinetics
Well, the Stag Horn response is purely aesthetic. I like it on the sharpening steel, but I've never had or used a knife with the stag horn handle, and given the price of the Berti knives that I so admire, it's unlikely that's ever going to happen.
So, back in the real world, I've had Chicago Cutlery with the walnut handles and now have Wusthof Classic with the plastic handles. I prefer the Wusthofs, but this is an apples to oranges comparison as the overall quality of the Wusthof is far superior to the overall quality of the Chicago Cutlery. Thus making the less aestheticly pleasing plastic handles feel superior to the more aestheticly pleasing, but more poorly finished wooden handles. With that said, if I were to go out and purchase a new knife I would in all likelyhood get one with a wood handle that was well finished.
As a bit of an aside, it's my understanding that commercial applications require a plastic or metal handle and a wood handle is not allowed, perhaps this is why so many manufacturers have plastic handles on their knives. The preception that plastic is more sanitary than wood and that makes them more attractive to the average home cook.
re: mikie
<it's my understanding that commercial applications require a plastic or metal handle and a wood handle is not allowed, >
I think that may or may not be correct. I have certainly heard of this, but I have also seen many exceptions. For example, in Chinese barbecue shop (not restaurants), I have seen wood handle knives all the time. Maybe it is because these are cooked foods. Yet, I am very sure I see yanagiba (aka sushi knives) with wood handles all the time. Now, we are really talking about uncooked foods.
re: Chemicalkinetics
I guess it depends on local health codes.I use my wood handled knives all the time in a pro kitchen and never encountered any problems with the health inspector.
re: petek
I was just going to ask you this, because I know you and many professional cooks use wood handle knives. What about cutting boards? Are you allowed to use wood cutting board in your pro kitchens? I have seen them every now and then in professional kitchens, so I guess they are ok.
re: Chemicalkinetics
No wooden cutting boards at work,only poly boards.Wooden boards wouldn't last very long in a pro kitchen,unless they were at least 2-3" thick,even then....
re: Chemicalkinetics
I've dealt with some seriously annal and terribly misguided health inspectors over the years but I've never, ever had one look at my knife handles.
Cutting boards are a conundrum. Some places you can use wood as long as it's NSF rated like Boos or Michigan Maple Block. Other areas are a total no go on wood.
I've seen Maple butcher blocks and even long 1" maple sandwhich boards in commercial operations that were very old. Maple will last a long time if cared for.
re: TraderJoe
I couldn't edit and add photos but think of the wood cutting/sandwhich boards at places like Katz's.
re: TraderJoe
Thanks TraderJoe
re: Chemicalkinetics
Sure thing Chem. The thing about wood in the kitchen is that it varies a lot by region. I think a lot of the younger guys in the business have not seen as much wood, if at all because it's a lot less common now.
re: TraderJoe
Aren't the health inspectors mainly worried about the knife having an NSF sticker regardless of handle? A company rep said while it isn't always enforced technically they could hit for that.
Personally I'd be more concerned about the amount of munge on the handle and in the various ridges of some common formally white handled knives. I've cleaned some funky blades.
re: knifesavers
I've seen some inspectors go crazy for NSF but that's usually when your opening a new place and you gear up for your first inspection. After that the only thing to worry about with NSF is usually things that will draw their attention like cutting boards. You probably could catch a violation for no NSF rating on your knife but I've never seen it happen.
The biggest thing to worry about with knives is having a sanitation bucket with test strips available.
re: TraderJoe
"I think a lot of the younger guys in the business have not seen as much wood"
That's what she said... :D
re: TraderJoe
I guess I thought the issue was with raw meat. Back in the old days, when Chicago Cuttelry got its start, meat processing houses in Chicago was their biggest customer and those knives had wooden handles as did the Dexters my grandfather used in his butcher shop. But now it seems these knives are all plastic handeled, at least the ones intended for industrial use. Perhaps chefs have more options than butchers.
re: Chemicalkinetics
I think convenience also plays into this. At the few restaurants I've worked in (serving, not cooking), they want EVERYTHING to go thru the dishwasher (for 'sanitizing'). Anything that might require the extra attention of careful hand-washing was out of the question. So... wood handles wouldn't last very long with that kind of treatment.
I don't see a sushi chef throwing his yangiba into a dishwasher...
re: Chemicalkinetics
Nope, I'm just a cook..... :)
re: Chemicalkinetics
Good memory there Chem!
Prince Andrew and Prince Edward..
Update. This is a landslide. Considering how many plastic handle knives are out there including the very famous Henckels and Wusthof, I thought more would prefer them. I guess the Chowhond crowd is a very different group than the rest of the population.

re: Chemicalkinetics
But even those of us who like wood have some plastic handles.
re: GH1618
Do you mean your wood handles have some plastic in them, like Ikon blackwood handle has some metal?
Or do you mean you have knives with plastic handles?
I am sure the latter is true as most of the knives I see are sold with plastic handles. I am trying to understand the disconnection between what the customers may want (in the case of Chowhounders', it is wood) and what the manufacturers offer.
re: Chemicalkinetics
I mean I have a buch of knives, some with wood handles and others plastic. The latter category includes such things as my Chicago Cutlery utility knife, my Ivo slicing knife, and some steak knives.
re: Chemicalkinetics
Pakkawood can come in flourescent yellow. Or purple. Not sure i feel right calling it wood.
It's about as much wood as plywood is... or less.
re: Chowrin
I know I know, probably less of a wood than plywood in fact.
Gotta go with B
I love the aesthetics of wood and did a lot of woodworking when I was younger. That said, I think the shape of the handle is as important as the material. I like the traditional\classic handle on the full tang chefs knife in general. Though I was plesantly suprised with the feel of the handles on the Shun Classic's.
I prefer wood, but it seems like most manufacturers have relegated poorly-finished wood handles to their lower-end lines. So when I bought my knives (3+ yrs ago) I looked for versions that had epoxified wood (pakka in the Shun & Kanetsune) or paid a little more for the nicer wood versions of the same knives (Forschner Rosewood vs Victorinox Fibrox).
I really like wood handles, but I've found that most wood handled knives are too large for me, I have very small hands. I have Globals (metal handle) for that reason.
Update. Somehow I didn't expect the answers to be so one-sided, but they are what they are. Thanks.

re: tim irvine
<Chem, given your knife guru status and stated preference for B what else could we say?>
Ha. I doubt that. On top of that, I was the 6th person who answered this poll, which means 5 people ahead of me decided they like wood handle before I entered the race. :P
I'm not sure if I consider "stabilized", or resin impregnated wood, as wood. I like it better in most cases, and I think it's a separate catagory. Here is how it's made:
The description of "Kitchen Knives" on Wikipedia, includes the following four catagories for handle materials, one of which they call "composite", which I call stabilized, or epoxy resin impregnated wood, or "Pakka Wood". This is what many kitchen knife handles are made with theses days. This is from Wikipedia:
The handles of kitchen knives can be made from a number of different materials, each of which has advantages and disadvantages.
1) Wood handles provide good grip, and most people consider them to be the most attractive. They are, however, slightly more difficult to care for as they must be cleaned more thoroughly and occasionally treated with mineral oil. Most wood handles, especially those of ordinary varnished hardwood, do not resist water well, and will crack or warp with prolonged exposure to water. They should be hand-washed for that reason. Some people argue that ordinary varnished wood handles can harbor more microorganisms as the varnish layer wears off, thus requiring resealing or revarnishing to seal the wood's pores.
2) Plastic handles are more easily cared for than wooden handles and do not absorb microorganisms. However, plastics may also be less resistant to ultraviolet damage and may become brittle over time, resulting in cracking. Some plastics are also slippery in the hand. The material is lighter than most other materials, which may result in a knife that is off-balance or too light for some tastes.
3) Composite knives are made from laminated wood composites impregnated with plastic resin. This is primarily DymondWood by Rutland Plywood Corporation; the same product is sold under brand names such as Pakkawood, Staminawood, Dymondwood, and Colorwood.[3] Composite handles are considered by many chefs to be the best choice because they are as easy to care for and as sanitary as plastic, they have the appearance, weight, and grip of hardwood, and are more durable than either. They often have a laminated, polished appearance, and may have intense or varied coloring.
4) Stainless steel handles are the most durable of all handles, as well as the most sanitary. Many argue, however, that they are very slippery in the hand, especially when wet. To counter this, many premium knife makers make handles with ridges, bumps, or indentations to provide extra grip. One disadvantage of some all-metal handles is that knife weight usually goes up considerably, affecting the knife's balance and increasing hand and wrist fatigue. Knife manufacturers, most notably Japan's Global, have begun addressing this issue by producing hollow-handled knives.

Probably too late to change the poll now. :) But I totally get what you are saying and that in hindsight the poll could have done differently. I didn't think of the stabilized wood, but I thought I would open a whole new can of worms. There is just too large of a gray area between pure natural wood handle and fully stabilized wood handle like the Pakkawood. I apply several layer of tung oil (drying oil). So my wood handles won't be pure natural wood handles, but they are not composite wood handles neither.
I prefer wood, for tactile and esthetic reasons. I also really like the feel of the Fibrox handles on my Victorinox knives, even though their appearance does nothing for me. Conversely, I have some German knives with great-looking metal handles that always feel cold and inert, so they rarely get used.
This has prompted a whole new line of thought for me, taking care of handles. My hands are washed before I cook, and I have not yet washed the handle of my main knife (42 years). I hone it every time I use it, rinse and wipe after each use, and never think about the pretty old wood handle. Do people really wash their knife handles? It never seems to look as if it needs attention.

I do... but only like maybe once every three usage times.
re: tim irvine
I never thought to not wash the handles. They could get pretty grody if left unwashed
re: scubadoo97
Oh yeah I have flashbacks to some funky stuff both wood and plastic.
I am going to get a small steam cleaner like the handheld Shark to deal with munge.
I never voted but shape is more a factor for me but otherwise wood followed by soft plastic.
