NEW WILMINGTON, Pa. - Westminster College's Department of Economics and Business hosted a Summer Analyst Program presentation in September.
Three students and an alumna successfully defended a financial analysis of a publicly-traded company in front of a panel of expert judges. The program is an experiential learning event designed to replicate an internship on Wall Street. Student intern analysts review more than 1,000 pages of publicly-available financial documents and use real-world methods to prepare a market standard financial analysis of a publicly-traded company under the supervision of a professional financial analyst.
The students include:
Ann Bayma, a junior international business and accounting major, is a daughter of Edmund and Rose Bayma of Warren, Ohio, and a graduate of Howland High School.
Harry Bittle, a senior financial economics major, is a son of Robert and Marianne Bittle of Sicklerville, N.J., and a graduate of Winslow Township High School.
Julia Warhola, a 2013 graduate with a business administration and history degree, is a daughter of Martin Warhola of Ebensburg and a graduate of Moon Area High School. Warhola is currently employed as a financial analyst with BNY Mellon.
Wesley LaQuaglia, a senior philosophy and physics major, is a son of Frank LaQuaglia of Massillon, Ohio, and a graduate of Washington High School.
"Wall Street style opportunities don't find their way to New Wilmington very often," said Bittle. "It's fantastic that a professional capital markets financial analyst is willing to take the time to come back to Westminster and extend their knowledge to students looking to pursue a career in the field."
Bittle continued, "The summer analyst program has more than prepared me for the analyst path I plan to pursue after graduating from Westminster. I've already received a job offer for an analyst position for next fall. I am certain that the summer analyst program played a big role in the offer."
The event was organized by Dr. Daniel Fischmar, professor of economics and business, and alumnus Ben Nelson `06, a Youngstown, Ohio, native and a lead credit analyst with Moody's Corporation in New York City.
"This program is a unique experiential learning opportunity that confers valuable real-world experience on the student interns. The work load is daunting, but they all did very well," said Nelson.
"The students, under the guidance of Ben Nelson, performed a thorough analysis of the coal industry and forecasted the operating results for several firms in the industry," said Fischmar. "In addition to analyzing the public financial statements and earnings calls of these companies, the students learned how to develop a broad overview of an industry. In developing their analyses, they examined the potential world-wide supply of coal, the regulatory and environmental challenges the industry faces, and the impact of the world economy on coal prices."
Fischmar added, "The program was a genuinely challenging exercise that duplicates the actual experience of professional credit analysts."

I will be giong HD on thurs. I have 2 tv's, so i will be using 1 HD DVR. My current DVR is connected upstairs tv and one in the basement. My question comes with I was reading the 622 that TV1 shows 1080, where TV 2 only shows 480. Can I switch back and forth on which tv is going to be TV1 for 1080? Say I want to watch some sports show on my basement projector that i am also buying.........and want to see it in 1080. Then another time, not at the same time, I am sitting upstairs and want to watch CSI, and i know it shows in HD. Can I then change the upstairs TV to the TV1 to get higher dpi?
Any help would be great.
No you can't switch TV1 and TV2 but since all outputs are hot at the same time, you could connect one TV via HDMI and the second TV via component so that both are displaying HD. You will need a long run of cable (probably) component to the second TV though. Either that, or you can get a splitter (for HDMI or component) and do it that way. Either way, one of the cable runs will be long. I think component does better with long cable runs than HDMI.

Destruction threatened for the impiety of Israel. (1-4) For their idolatry. (5-10) Further threatenings for the same sins. (11-14)
Verses 1-4 When Israel was hard pressed, they would claim protection from God, but this would be disregarded. What stead will it stand in to say, My God, I know thee, if we cannot say, My God, I love thee, serve thee, and cleave to thee only?
Verses 5-10 They promised themselves plenty, peace, and victory, by worshipping idols, but their expectations came to nothing. What they sow has no stalk, no blade, or, if it have, the bud shall yield no fruit, there was nothing in them. The works of darkness are unfruitful; nay, the end of those things is death. The hopes of sinners will deceive them, and their gains will be snares. In times of danger, especially in the day of judgment, all carnal devices will fail. They take a course by themselves, and like a wild ass by himself, they will be the easier and surer prey for the lion. Man is in nothing more like the wild ass's colt, than in seeking for that succour and that satisfaction in the creature, which are to be had in God only. Though men may sorrow a little, yet if it is not after a godly sort, they will be brought to sorrow everlastingly.
Verses 11-14 It is a great sin to corrupt the worship of God, and will be charged as sin on all who do it, how plausible soever their excuses may seem to be. The Lord had caused his law to be written for them, but they cared not to know, and would not obey it. Man seems by the temples he builds to be mindful of his Maker, yet really he has forgotten him, because he has cast off all his fear; but none ever hardened his heart against God and prospered. So long as men despise the truths and precepts of God's word, and the ordinances of his worship, all the observances and offerings, however costly, of their own devising, will be unto them for sin; for those services only are acceptable to God, which are done according to his word, and through Jesus Christ.
Hosea 8:1-14 . PROPHECY OF THE IRRUPTION OF THE ASSYRIANS, IN PUNISHMENT FOR ISRAEL'S APOSTASY, IDOLATRY, AND SETTING UP OF KINGS WITHOUT GOD'S SANCTION.
In Hosea 8:14 , Judah is said to multiply fenced cities; and in Hosea 8:7-9 , Israel, to its great hurt, is said to have gone up to Assyria for help. This answers best to the reign of Menahem. For it was then that Uzziah of Judah, his contemporary, built fenced cities ( 2 Chronicles 26:6 2 Chronicles 26:9 2 Chronicles 26:10 ). Then also Israel turned to Assyria and had to pay for their sinful folly a thousand talents of silver ( 2 Kings 15:19 ) [MAURER].
1. Set the trumpet, &c.--to give warning of the approach of the enemy: "To thy palate (that is, 'mouth,' Job 31:30 , Margin) the trumpet"; the abruptness of expression indicates the suddenness of the attack. So Hosea 5:8 .
as . . . eagle--the Assyrian ( Deuteronomy 28:49 , Jeremiah 48:40 , Habakkuk 1:8 ).
against . . . house of . . . Lord--not the temple, but Israel viewed as the family of God ( Hosea 9:15 , Numbers 12:7 , Zechariah 9:8 , Hebrews 3:2 , 1 Timothy 3:15 , 1 Peter 4:17 ).
2. My God, we know thee--the singular, "My," is used distributively, each one so addressing God. They, in their hour of need, plead their knowledge of God as the covenant-people, while in their acts they acknowledge Him not (compare Matthew 7:21 Matthew 7:22 , Titus 1:16 ; also Isaiah 29:13 , Jeremiah 7:4 ). The Hebrew joins "Israel," not as English Version, with "shall cry," but "We, Israel, know thee"; God denies the claim thus urged on the ground of their descent from Israel.
3. Israel--God repeats the name in opposition to their use of it ( Hosea 8:2 ).
the thing that is good--JEROME translates, "God" who is good and doing good ( Psalms 119:68 ). He is the chief object rejected, but with Him also all that is good.
the enemy shall pursue him--in just retribution from God.
4. kings . . . not by me--not with My sanction ( 1 Kings 11:31 , 12:20 ). Israel set up Jeroboam and his successors, whereas God had appointed the house of David as the rightful kings of the whole nation.
I knew it not--I approved it not ( Psalms 1:6 ).
of . . . gold . . . idols--( Hosea 2:8 , 13:2 ).
that they may be cut off--that is, though warned of the consequences of idolatry, as it were with open eyes they rushed on their own destruction. So Jeremiah 27:10 Jeremiah 27:15 , 44:8 .
5. hath cast thee off--As the ellipsis of thee is unusual, MAURER translates, "thy calf is abominable." But the antithesis to Hosea 8:3 establishes English Version, "Israel hath cast off the thing that is good"; therefore, in just retribution, "thy calf hath cast thee off," that is, is made by God the cause of thy being cast off ( Hosea 10:15 ). Jeroboam, during his sojourn in Egypt, saw Apis worshipped at Memphis, and Mnevis at Heliopolis, in the form of an ox; this, and the temple cherubim, suggested the idea of the calves set up at Dan and Beth-el.
how long . . . ere they attain to innocency?--How long will they be incapable of bearing innocency? [MAURER].
6. from Israel was it--that is, the calf originated with them, not from Me. "It also," as well as their "kings set up" by them, "but not by Me" ( Hosea 8:4 ).
7. sown . . . reap--( Proverbs 22:8 , Galatians 6:7 ). "Sow . . . wind," that is, to make the vain show of worship, while faith and obedience are wanting [CALVIN]. Rather, to offer senseless supplications to the calves for good harvests (compare Hosea 2:8 ); the result being that God will make them "reap no stalk," that is, "standing corn." Also, the phraseology proverbially means that all their undertakings shall be profitless ( Proverbs 11:29 , Ecclesiastes 5:16 ).
the bud--or, "growth."
strangers--foreigners ( Hosea 7:9 ).
8. vessel wherein is no pleasure--( Psalms 41:12 , Jeremiah 22:28 , 48:38 ).
9. gone . . . to Assyria--referring to Menahem's application for Pul's aid in establishing him on the throne (compare Hosea 5:13 , 7:11 ). Menahem's name is read in the inscriptions in the southwest palace of Nimrod, as a tributary to the Assyrian king in his eighth year. The dynasty of Pul, or Phalluka, was supplanted at Nineveh by that of Tiglath-pileser, about 768 (or 760) B.C. Semiramis seems to have been Pul's wife, and to have withdrawn to Babylon in 768; and her son, Nabonassar, succeeding after a period of confusion, originated "the era of Nabonassar," 747 B.C. [G. V. SMITH]. Usually foreigners coming to Israel's land were said to "go up"; here it is the reverse, to intimate Israel's sunken state, and Assyria's superiority.
wild ass--a figure of Israel's headstrong perversity in following her own bent ( Jeremiah 2:24 ).
alone by himself--characteristic of Israel in all ages: "lo, the people shall dwell alone" ( Numbers 23:9 ; compare Job 39:5-8 ).
hired lovers--reversing the ordinary way, namely, that lovers should hire her ( Ezekiel 16:33 Ezekiel 16:34 ).
10. will I gather them--namely, the nations (Assyria, &c.) against Israel, instead of their assisting her as she had wished ( Ezekiel 16:37 ).
a little--rather, "in a little" [HENDERSON]. English Version gives good sense: They shall sorrow "a little" at the imposition of the tribute; God suspended yet the great judgment, namely, their deportation by Assyria.
the burden of the king of princes--the tribute imposed on Israel (under Menahem) by the Assyrian king Pul, ( 2 Kings 15:19-22 ), who had many "princes" under his sway ( Isaiah 10:8 ).
11. God in righteous retribution gives them up to their own way; the sin becomes its own punishment ( Proverbs 1:31 ).
many altars--in opposition to God's law ( Deuteronomy 12:5 Deuteronomy 12:6 Deuteronomy 12:13 Deuteronomy 12:14 ).
to sin . . . to sin--Their altars which were "sin" (whatever religious intentions they might plead) should be treated as such, and be the source of their punishment ( 1 Kings 12:30 , 13:34 ).
12. great things of . . . law--( Deuteronomy 4:6 Deuteronomy 4:8 , Psalms 19:8 , Psalms 119:18 Psalms 119:72 , Psalms 147:19 Psalms 147:20 ). MAURER not so well translates, "the many things of My law."
my law--as opposed to their inventions. This reference of Hosea to the Pentateuch alone is against the theory that some earlier written prophecies have not come down to us.
strange thing--as if a thing with which they had nothing to do.
13. sacrifices of mine offerings--that is, which they offer to Me.
eat it--Their own carnal gratification is the object which they seek, not My honor.
now--that is, "speedily."
shall return to Egypt--( Hosea 9:3 Hosea 9:6 , 11:11 ). The same threat as in Deuteronomy 28:68 . They fled thither to escape from the Assyrians (compare as to Judah, Jeremiah 42:1-44:30'), when these latter had overthrown
14. forgotten . . . Maker--( Deuteronomy 32:18 ).
temples--to idols.
Judah . . . fenced cities--Judah, though less idolatrous than Israel, betrayed lack of faith in Jehovah by trusting more to its fenced cities than to Him; instead of making peace with God, Judah multiplied human defenses ( Isaiah 22:8 , Jeremiah 5:17 , Micah 5:10 Micah 5:11 ).
I will send . . . fire upon . . . cities--Sennacherib burned all Judah's fenced cities except Jerusalem ( 2 Kings 18:13 ).
palaces thereof--namely, of the land. Compare as to Jerusalem, Jeremiah 17:27 .

I understand all the hard work they put into making things new and better but whatever. They can take away ads. They can add new features. They can make new forums. But FC2 will never, NEVER, be as good or even anywhere near how good the original FC was. And my opinion shall remain this until forever.
Error-QM wrote:Personally, I would have to say one of the biggest reasons I prefer FC orders of magnitude over FC2 is its simplicity. Moving and rotating platforms, magnets, etc., really make FC2...well, something else. It's not an improvement or an attempt to do so, but bordering on a different game.
FC is simple. Wheels that perpetually turn CW. Wheels that perpetually turn CCW. Wheels that just roll according to physics. Sticks that hit pieces. Sticks that don't hit pieces.
Then the environment. Green land blocks that don't move. Orange and yellow blocks that do move. Take those things and build a fantastic contraption to get a pink object into a pink goal area, but you can't build outside the blue area.
It was that simple. Now how about the limitations? What do people lament about, to this day, on a regular basis here in the forums?
The piece limit, for starters. We get 120 pieces, including the goal piece, to complete the level. That's a pretty decent limit for anything F2P. Supposedly set high enough so that players usually wouldn't have to worry about it too often. Well, those days are long gone. The MAG shuffle has become a level nightmare for many "veteran" players (me too, if Darkeagle updates this), and we regularly bump the 120-piece ceiling.
The black hole glitch, for another. So we have 120 pieces "only." So what? Well, not exactly, if you like normal solves (the venerable Thik_Tip and lord_hamybal, to name a couple, do not seem so stingy). Anywhere from 55 to 90 overlapping rods - maybe less, if the level has lots of overlapping to begin with - triggers this most annoying glitch where (1) all joints break, (2) the boundary of the build area becomes solid and impenetrable, making victory impossible for almost all levels, (3) the now-disconnected pieces collapse frustratingly within this box and (4) anything movable outside the build area gravitates toward it. It's typically fixable by re-running the design or, in even worse cases, placing a useless water rod and adjusting it.
And who could forget the horrible joint weakness problems? I can just picture skitters adjusting his godly extender, The Giant, or Remy his elegant Hamybridge, and then slamming the table in frustration when FC arthritis causes the arm to collapse or a bridge segment to swing the wrong way. Things are stretchy in this game so that they aren't alternatively brittle. Stretchy things break when stretched too far - take rubber bands, for instance. Or an understanding, liberal relationship.
So besides it's simple ansatz, FC is ridden with problems. FC2 fixes lots of these. We get thirty extra toys to play with, no risk of losing them into a black hole along with the goal piece for good measure, and joints are, as Ollivander would say, "reasonably pliant." Why am I not hailing the arrival of FC2?
Well, it's...because...it's easier. FC2 solves problems which we FCers are used to working around. I know I personally have spent many an hour on designs right on the black hole limit, trying to fix it so that my design doesn't look awkward and almost impossible for a newcomer to run properly. Every skillful player here has had the segfault-like experience of building a contraption and running out of pieces two or three steps before that bloody Victory! cloud. And, come on, we've all - newcomers and elites alike - broken a chain here and there.
So FC players refine their designs. It takes skill to do this. If you're so close to the finish but have no pieces left, your design should probably drop five pounds so you can use those pieces to finish it off. If there's a black hole and you take issue with that, readjust pieces so there are fewer overlapping support structures and (perhaps) lighter neutronia. If a joint breaks, swap it out for wood or make the rods in question longer (or consider adjusting the angle between them).
TL;DR: I hate you.
No, just kidding.
FC has both simplicity in its purpose, and implicit challenges in overcoming the various limitations / glitches. A 120-piece design that doesn't black hole, of which there are many, might summarize the long hours some dedicated player put in to surmount all three of those obstacles. Such a design deserves admiration; such an author, praise thereof.

The Mists of Kingsport Beckon
An Excerpt from Bones of the Yopasi, a Novel by Graham McNeill |
The Dark Waters Trilogy | Published 15 November 2012 |
Now available through our webstore, Bones of the Yopasi is the second novel by the award winning Graham McNeill in The Dark Waters Trilogy. The story of Oliver Grayson continues after the events that took place in Ghouls of the Miskatonic. Featuring the mysterious and terrifying setting of Arkham Horror, Bones of the Yopasi draws inspiration from the eldritch universe created by H.P. Lovecraft.
Having barely recovered from a profound psychological ordeal, Miskatonic University professor Oliver Grayson looks forward to returning to normal life. Unfortunately for Grayson, however, his trials are only just beginning. After being called to the mist-shrouded town of Kingsport to identify some strange bones, the professor must join an unlikely team of investigators to face a horrifying new threat. But can they conquer their own demons in time to confront their common enemy?
The first chapter of Bones of the Yopasi introduces the reader to a mysterious, melancholy lighthouse keeper. The mists around the shore of Kingsport hold a host of secrets, and this man knows more than he lets on about what really lives at sea. The story then catches up with Oliver Grayson, who has his hands full navigating the streets of New York as he seeks his friend and mentor Morley Dean.
Dive headlong into the second book of The Dark Waters Trilogy with this first chapter (pdf, 131kb), and then head to our webstore to get the whole story!
The Dark Waters Trilogy is a gripping new series from best-selling novelist Graham McNeill.

Sunday October 14, 8:30 AM 12:30 PM
Location - (still tentative, look for confirmation later in the week) Brightview construction site Route 114 North Andover MA (former location of base lodge for old Boston Hill Ski Area). Map.
This project will take us several work days to complete, one this fall and several in the spring. Plan is to create a new trail loop about .8 mi. long on the old ski hill that connects in 2 spots with the trail network at Ward Reservation (TTOR). There is considerable tread work in addition to the usual corridor clearing and duffing. Several boardwalks will be needed to complete the project, but that will wait for springtime. We will be working alongside volunteers from the Trustees, Friends of N. Andover Trails, and N. Andover Conservation. When complete, this trail will be a great addition to the local trail system, with new public access point.
Bring gloves, sturdy footwear, and water/snacks. We will have plenty of tools, but feel free to bring your own pick mattock, loppers, hand saw, etc.
Lunch (and a ride weather permitting) after work will take place back at the Ward Reservation main parking area.

Over the weekend, the Mississippi Highway Patrol handled 8 collisions in District D, none of those being fatal or alcohol related.
There were also 34 DUIs, 1 felony arrest, 22 seatbelt violations, and 10 child restraint violations.
There were 208 hazard tickets given, which range from speeding tickets to reckless driving, and 204 non-hazard tickets given, which range from not having a driver's license to not having insurance. Troop D had a total of 447 tickets including DUI for the Troop D District.
"The fatalities are right on from last year. We had five fatalities last year and five this year," said Tony Dunn, highway patrol spokesperson.
"Our troop has worked hard all holiday weekend. They worked hand in hand with all law enforcement personnel. It showed because we didn't have any major accidents or fatalities.
"We will still work hard even though it's not a holiday. We encourage everyone to buckle up, drive safe, pay attention, and buckle their kids up because that's our future," said Dunn.

A last-minute victory in Oklahoma
When the Oklahoma legislature adjourned on May 23, 2014, the attempt to derail Oklahoma's new state science standards was stymied. Gerald Edelman dies
The eminent biologist Gerald Edelman died on May 17, 2014, at the age of 84, according to The New York Times (May 22, 2014). NCSE's next webinar for activists
NCSE is pleased to announce the next of a new series of on-line workshops aimed at broadening and deepening the networks that make our work possible. The next workshop focuses on debunking and confronting science denial, describing resources and techniques as well as offering a chance to share experiences. Oklahoma House votes to derail science standards House Joint Resolution 1099, which would reject the state department of education's rules implementing Oklahoma's new science standards, was passed by the Oklahoma House of Representatives on a 55-31 vote on May 21, 2014. Part of the reason, the Tulsa World (May 22, 2014) explained, was that "[s]ome legislators ... objected to language they said appeared to encourage an 'agenda' concerning climate change."

According to Haywood, the incident was called in around 10 p.m. and the sheriff's department and Drew Police Department responded to the scene at 22 Swoope Rd. on the corner of Hunter Avenue, considered county land.
"We are asking anyone with information on this case to step up," said Haywood. "This senseless violence has got to stop."
The incident marks the second murder in the same neighborhood within the past six months.
There are currently no identified suspects from the shooting.
The subject, Christopher "Zeke" Barnett, 33, was found dead on the scene by authorities after an unnamed female called and said she discovered his body.
Barnett was eventually taken to Jackson for an autopsy.
The official cause of death has yet to be determined but it appeared Barnett suffered a gunshot to the back of the head.
Barnett's house was ransacked and Haywood said drugs might have been involved in the case.
"Right now we're tracking different leads and asking that anyone with information call the Sunflower County Sheriff's Department at 662-887-2121 or the Drew Police Department at 662-745-2200."
Haywood said Barnett had been missing for a couple days but a missing person report had not been filed.
Drew Police Chief Simon Bush said his department would provide assistance in any way possible with the continuing investigation.
Drew Mayor Jeffery Kilpatrick believes the case will soon be cracked.
"The Drew Police Department and the sheriff are working very hard," said Kilpatrick. "They're going to get to the bottom of this."

(UPDATED CONTENT, 4:45 p.m.) Further expanding its presence in lemons and oranges, Paramount Citrus is buying the citrus assets of Grimmway Farms, Bakersfield, Calif.
The sale is scheduled to close by the end of July and will mean that Paramount's lemon program will represent 20% of total domestic sales of California lemons, Paramount president David Krause said July 22.
The move will add almost 7,000 acres total of navel and Valencia oranges and lemons to Delano, Calif.-based Paramount's operation. Krause said all of the acres are mature and producing fruit. The breakdown by commodity is 3,100 acres of navels, 2,900 acres of lemons and 1,000 acres of Valencias.
With the additional acres, Paramount's navel packed acres will increase by 45% and its California lemon fresh carton volume by 43%, Krause said.
"This adds 2.4 million packages (40-pound equivalents) to our annual citrus operation," Krause said.
Jeff Huckaby, executive vice president for Grimmway Farms, described the sale in a news release as an opportunity for the carrot company to transition away from citrus while "ensuring a solid future for the farmers in our outside grower program."
"This allows us to focus even more of our efforts into our core business, the consistently growing carrot and organic vegetable market," Huckaby said in the release.
The two companies have been in negotiations for "less than six months," Krause said. He said the timing was perfect, and not just because the deal will be closing during the lull of the California citrus season.
"It was a combination of our decision to broaden our citrus packing operation and Grimmway's desire to focus on their core business," Krause said.
The Grimmway citrus growers who now supply Paramount operation have acreage in the San Joaquin Valley, Ventura County and the California desert. About 100 growers are involved.
"We're already talking to those growers and plan to have the transition complete by the end of the month," Krause said.
The three-member grower representative staff at Grimmway is moving to Paramount's operation, Krause said, to provide continuity for the growers involved. Krause said Paramount will likely add sales and support staff to handle the increased volume the acquisition means for the company.
Paramount has been in grower-recruitment since it ended its relationship with Sun Pacific earlier this year.

Mark A. Negley, the 24-year-old proprietor of Arcadia-based Negley & Son honey, is the "son" in the company name. His father and grandfather were beekeepers, as well.These days, Negley—who has a degree in food and resource economics from the University of Florida—is the face of Negley & Son's honey production business as well as a passionate promoter of the power of bees.
ALL IN THE FAMILY Negley grew up helping his grandfather (former chief entomologist for the state of Pennsylvania) and his dad (a former apiary inspector who moved to Arcadia in 1975), but it wasn't until college that he got his own beehives. "I was always afraid of getting stung," he admits. At UF—where he spent "every one of my spring breaks and most of my summers working bees"—his passion for beekeeping was born. Now he's responsible for Negley & Son's more than 1,000 hives.
INGREDIENTS MATTER "Our honey is raw, unheated and unfiltered," Negley says, "and we know exactly what's in it." Each bottle comes with tasting notes on the label; Negley hopes to help people appreciate different varietals for their distinct tastes and textures. For example, orange blossom honey, which is produced in early spring, tastes completely different from black mangrove or blackberry honey, produced later in the year. Negley says that buyers should be wary of anything labeled "wildflower honey," a catch-all term for producers who don't know—or care—exactly what the honey is made from.
MORE THAN JUST TASTE Those who suffer from allergies may know that a daily tablespoon of local honey can provide some relief, but honey has other medicinal benefits as well (and the darker the color, the more vitamins and minerals you'll find). Honey has anti-inflammatory properties, is said to kickstart liver function, soothe the throat and relieve coughs. It contains natural hydrogen peroxide and can be used in facial treatments to help soften and heal the skin. Plus, studies seem to show that bee venom may help control the inflammation that leads to rheumatoid arthritis—good news for beekeepers like Negley, who gets stung often.
Thanks to a rise in rooftop beekeepers in New York City, Negley frequently sends baby beehives to amateur city-dwelling beekeepers; he's happy to help interested Sarasotans in their beekeeping pursuits as well.
Sustainability is important to Negley & Son. They're currently producing everything from functional furniture to pieces of art fashioned from old Tupelo hives.
Want to buy a bottle of honey? Negley & Son varietals are sold exclusively at downtown Sarasota's Artisan Cheese Company.

The a cappella group Straight No Chaser may be one of the only artistic ensembles that can be truly labeled an "overnight success." The singing troupe of 10 males became a sensation when, in 2007, an ensemble member posted a video on YouTube.
"It went viral," said Randy Stine, an original member of Straight No Chaser and the person who posted the video. "It had 7 million hits in three weeks. Then Atlantic Records called and wanted to do a tour or an album or both."
Straight No Chaser will perform on Nov. 3 at the Rialto Square Theatre in Joliet.
The group originally came together in the fall of 1996 at Indiana University (IU) where 10 guys who happened to be friends also liked to sing. When the original members began graduating in 1999 and went on to jobs mostly outside of music, they chose replacements and established Straight No Chaser as an ongoing group on campus. More than 50 members have passed through the group's ranks so far.
When Stine, who grew up in Naperville and attended Naperville North High School, posted clips from a 1998 concert on YouTube, the ensemble's fan base grew exponentially. In 2007 alone, the group's version of "The 12 Days of Christmas" was viewed more than 7 million times. Today the group's cumulative YouTube views clock in at more than 25 million.
Among those original viewers was Atlantic Records Chairman/CEO Craig Kallman. Kallman e-mailed Stine and a few days later the entire group was in New York City to sign its recording deal.
In addition to Stine, four original members are still with the group with five new members who performed with the group at different times at Indiana University.
"The other five guys went to IU and all were in Straight No Chaser at one point," Stine said, "so we pulled from that talent pool."
Straight No Chaser features 10 voices coming together to make music and reinventing the idea of a cappella on the modern pop landscape.
"Mainly, it's different," said Stine of the group's appeal. "It is not your typical a cappella. When people think of a cappella they think of a choir, or the TV show 'Glee' or a barbershop quartet. We try to do styles that people are not expecting. A few years ago we started doing a medley of Lady Gaga's songs. That surprised a lot of people."
In addition to the troupe's massive fan base on YouTube, Straight No Chaser has had numerous national television appearances including being featured on the "Generation YouTube" episode of ABC-TV's "20/20" and a special on PBS television, "Songs of the Decades," which was filmed during the group's summer concert engagement at Harrah's Resort Atlantic City in 2011.
The ensemble has recorded two holiday CDs: 2008's "Holiday Spirits" and 2009's "Christmas Cheers." In addition, the group recorded "With a Twist," in 2010 and two extended play records, "Six Pack" (2011) and "Six Pack: Volume 2" (2012).
According to Stine, the harmony on the songs varies.
"Certain songs have 10 different parts," he said. "On others, there is four- or five-part harmony and then some of the guys might do vocal percussion by making drum sounds with their mouths."
And picking which songs to perform is a collaborative effort.
"We bring different experiences all across the board," said Stine of his fellow singers. "But in the end, it all comes down to what the audience will like best."

Super Bowl 2013 is upon us, and this year, the city of New Orleans plays host to the biggest national sporting event of the year. Sports fans, media, celebrities, and thousands upon thousands of other visitors will flock to the city over the coming weeks to prepare and celebrate the culmination of the 2012-2013 football season.
The teams are set. The Baltimore Ravens will be facing the San Francisco 49ers, who happen to be a longtime rival of the Saints since a time when both teams were in the same division. Fans of both teams will come down for the game with tickets and/or jerseys in hand, and New Orleans will welcome them with open arms, despite past rivalries and dashed hopes of having the Saints in the Superdome Super Bowl (New Orleanians will smile through gritted teeth when Commissioner Goodell comes to town).

Fight the urge and stick with your weight loss goal
Ever notice that your good intentions to eat healthier come to a sudden end when you come face to face with that gooey chocolate cake piled high with whipped cream and topped off with dark chocolate shavings? "Sugar triggers certain receptors in your brain," explains Holly Herrington, RD, Center for Lifestyle Medicine, Northwestern Memorial Hospital. "The more sugar you have, the more you want. Despite what some might think, a craving doesn't come from a diet deficiency. It's a habit. You want to eat chocolate, you made the decision to eat it and you turn into a 12-year-old again."
Whether it's a food craving or wanting to satisfy those inner demons, the word 'craving' itself conjures up a slew of emotions. And while the emotional side of food cravings has long been examined, there are true physical reasons why we crave something we probably shouldn't. Medical studies even confirm circuits in our brain release a feel-good chemical when we indulge in a food craving, a similar feeling as one might experience while drinking alcohol or smoking tobacco.
"Caving to a craving is a way to get an immediate fix," says Sarah Kinsinger, PhD, licensed clinical psychologist, Northwestern Memorial Hospital. "It's important to take a look at the need the craving fills in order to better control it. If the desire to eat fills an emotional need, you might want to find a healthier option."
Jennifer Ventrelle, MS, RD, CPT, lifestyle director, Rush University Prevention Center, Rush University Medical Center, adds, "Eating can take the pain away for a short period of time, but if eating is just a manifestation of other things, you need to address that."
A recent trend to combat food cravings has been the push for truly mindful eating. Instead of adding the act of eating to your multitasking lifestyle, nutrition experts suggest taking the time to experience the texture and flavor of the food that enters your mouth, then stopping once satisfied. "No one pays attention to what they're eating these days, but you must pay attention to every bite you eat," explains Ms. Herrington.
Another way to fight food cravings is to know how your appetite reacts in certain situations. For example, food cravings are known to hit the hardest between 3-8pm, so make sure you're prepared. Have healthier food options easily accessible at those times, or come up with a distraction. A craving will pass in 10-20 minutes, so find a way to sit and reevaluate the food craving before you give in to it.
"If you're faced with a food craving every day after work, it will start becoming a crutch," insists Ms. Ventrelle. "You must restructure your environment. Keep a dish of fruit out on the table instead of the candy dish, or distract yourself by doing another activity like taking a hot bath. But most of all, treat the true source of the food craving. Are you eating because you are really hungry, or perhaps using food for emotional comfort?"
It's also important to keep your blood sugar stable throughout the day, so don't wait a long time between eating, leaving you to crave sugar and carbohydrates quickly. "If you go long periods of time without eating, all it will take is some sort of stressful environment for those food cravings to pop up once again," explains Ms. Ventrelle. "It's about truly resetting your body rather than simply listening to your body. Try to eat at the same time every day, even if you don't consider yourself hungry at that exact moment, in order to avoid a drop in sugar, which will inevitably lead to overeating and giving in to cravings."
Once a craving becomes habit, it can be tough to break it. Prepare for setbacks and don't expect to tackle it completely in a short period of time. Ask for support from family and friends, and pick food choices wisely. Make a legitimate plan to enjoy every morsel of your food and your life.

Former 49ers wide receiver Ted Ginn Jr. signed a one-year deal with the Carolina Panthers, ESPN reported Thursday, ending his three-year tenure in San Francisco.
Ginn had only two receptions in 2012 and ceded his kickoff-return duties to rookie LaMichael James late in the regular season, but he remained effective as a punt returner. He was 11th in the NFL in punt-return average (11.2 yards) after ranking fourth and third, respectively, the previous two seasons.
In the Super Bowl, Ginn's 32-yard third-quarter punt return set up a 20-yard touchdown drive in the midst of San Francisco's second-half rally.

A man and woman were arrested in Loleta this morning after reportedly failing to comply with a traffic stop and attempting to run down a Humboldt County Sheriff's Office deputy.
According to Lt. Steve Knight, the deputy was patrolling on Thompkins Hill Road at about 4:15 a.m. when he attempted to stop the pair for a traffic violation. After the vehicle failed to stop, the deputy initiated pursuit, following the vehicle until it spun out of control at the corner of Eel River Drive and Loleta Drive. The deputy exited his vehicle to arrest the couple, but instead of complying, Knight said the male suspect, who was carrying a handgun, drove at the deputy and attempted to run him down. Knight said the deputy discharged his firearm, but did not hit either suspect. The vehicle ran over the deputy's foot before heading north on Eel River Drive. The deputy continued pursuit, eventually catching back up with the vehicle when it spun out again, this time at the corner of Eel River Drive and Copenhagen Road. The suspects fled on foot, Knight said, and were apprehended by additional responding officers with the Eureka Police Department and the sheriff's office K-9 unit.
The names of the suspects were not immediately available, but both have been arrested on suspicion of charges related to the pursuit, Knight said. No one was seriously injured in the incident, he said. The deputy whose foot was run over was evaluated at a local hospital and released.
More information will be posted as it becomes available.

Yoplait says, "Yoplus is the proactive nutrition yogurt with three key benefits: antioxidant vitamins A and E, fiber and probiotics for digestive health, and calcium and vitamin D for bone health." I got a chance to try the reformulated Yoplait Yoplus Yogurt after I got some samples of the Strawberry flavor.
Talk about yummy! There was bits of strawberry already mixed in the (pink) yogurt, which was smooth & creamy with a sweet strawberry flavor. The only thing I could pick on a little was that this was a little sweet. What I kept coming back to though, is that this is a classic flavor made by a company that has been making yogurt since forever and they did a good job.
Each 4 ounce serving of Yoplait Yoplus Strawberry Pro+Active Nutrition Yogurt provides 110 calories, 2% of the daily value for total fat, 4 grams of protein, 10% of the daily value for fiber and 15 grams of sugars.
The ingredients are, cultured pasteurized Grade A reduced fat milk, sugar, strawberries, modified corn starch, inulin, nonfat milk, kosher gelatin, citric acid, tricalcium phosphate, natural flavor, pectin, vitamin E, colred witth carmine, vitamin A and vitamin D3.
The retail price is $2.79 for a 4 pack (4 ounces each). I liked it and for you folks who are not into artificial sweeteners, then this should be right up your alley.

In Monday's regularly scheduled Bolivar County Board of Supervisors meeting, Supervisor James McBride said he was unaware that two county employees worked on Earth Day.
The discrepancy was noted after Assistant Road Manager Lee Chatman presented the road department's report.
"In years past I do not remember a board order for the county to participate in Earth Day," said McBride."
According to McBride he is concerned about whether or not the county does anything that deviates from a normal workday or a municipal cleanup day.
"Normally we try to coordinate clean up days on those days when municipalities do clean up days as long as it is not considered overtime. No one has done a board order for county employees to work or participate in Earth Day, yet we have employees working on that day and this will encompass the need for overtime," said McBride.
"My concern is that we had two county employees that worked that day and they are required to receive overtime unless they were volunteering. We need to alleviate this problem by requiring a board order before they work on weekends," said McBride.
Supervisor Donny Whitten said he was under the impression that Earth Day was a countywide event.
"I know that the city of Cleveland hosted the event but I thought it was a countywide effort," said Whitten.
After much debate, the board of supervisors decided to make a motion to discuss the matter at the next board meeting in May.
State Championship winners John F. Kennedy Memorial High School and Shaw High School have received a great deal of recognition for their accomplishment and to add to their honors, board members discussed possible signage for both schools.
The request was presented by Supervisor Preston Billings at a previous board meeting.
"It is not the place of the board of supervisors to make this type of decision. The community and the school board should make this decision. They have a budget," said Supervisor Donny Whitten.
"Signage for the state champions should not have been listed on the agenda. It should not be on the agenda because when we place it on the agenda, it gives individuals the impression that this is something that we could possibly do," said Board Attorney Linda Coleman.
"This is something that you all do not have the authority to handle but the public will think that this decision is left up to the county because it has been place on the agenda," she added.
McBride said this request was possibly listed on the agenda due to the fact that the county's agenda process is outdated.
"Our policy process is dated back two to three years ago and this is when I was not president. There are some things that are not in the authority of the board that have been addressed. I am not trying to be obnoxious, I am just being factual," said McBride.
Youth Court Judge Gwen Thomas presented a request for the approval of the new facilities administrator to attend a two-day training for crisis management and suicide prevention.
The training will be financed by the state.
Assistant Road Manager Lee Chatman presented several requests to members of the board from the towns of Merigold and Beulah.
He also presented requests for the city of Cleveland and the Lead Bayou Drainage District.
"The town of Merigold is requesting assistance with the railroad track in order to begin phase one of their walking trail project. They also want dirt and gravel spread," said Chatman.
"The town of Beulah is requesting assistance with gravel near the water tower and South Front Street. Lead Bayou Drainage District is asking for assistance with the purchase of coverage," he added.
Chatman also made a request for Rosedale for assistance with cleaning a ditch on Court Street.
County Engineer Bob Eley gave an update on some ongoing projects.
"The Pearman Road Ditch project began today. Everything else is pretty much going on and nearing completion. The Stanton Sewer project is about 75 percent complete. We will all of the tanks in the ground by the end of this week. Everything is just about in place," said Eley.

During the ITF World Championships, chairman of the communications committee, Stephen Ryan had the opportunity to interview the ITF President, Grandmaster Pablo Trajtenberg. During the interview our President spoke about his impression of the championships, the high level of the competitors, the growth of the ITF in a coordinated way, the presence of the pioneer GM Park and the future vision of the ITF.
1. Grandmaster Trajtenberg, you must be very proud as ITF President following a very successful World Championships with over 1,000 black belts from 60 countries and all continents of the World?
More than proud, I'm happy for the success and the unprecedented convene that has had the recent World Championships in Benidorm, which is not the result of fortuity but the result of many years of consistency at work.
2. What is your impression of the level of the competitors? Can you see an improvement each time we have a World Championships and what do you attribute this to?
I think the level of competitors in general has been magnificent, but I especially emphasize the Patterns competition where it was evidenced the standardization work being conducted by the Technical Committee, to make all of us speak the same language as far as technique is concerned.
3. Every year the ITF is growing and getting stronger, what do you think that the key things that are going on that are leading to this growth and development of ITF? What special projects or strategies are the ITF board working on and what about the work of the ITF standing committees?
The growth of our Organization is simply due to coordinated and joint work between the Board of Directors and the Committees in the different areas, keeping as a priority the essence of the creation of Taekwon-Do.
It is also the full demonstration that "unity creates strength", as expressed by our new logo with the five colors of the belts, the five principles, the five continents, graphically summarized in the symbolic fist that links, without barriers, all the ideas.
4. It was great to see GM Park Jong Soo at the ITF World Championships, do you think that he was impressed by the event and the ITF today? Why do you think it is important that the ITF gives recognition to the Taekwon-Do pioneers like GM Park?
With the invitation to GM Park Jong Soo we wanted to make clear that in the ITF we don´t forget our elders, especially the good people who have shown their loyalty to our art.
In this regard, let's remember that GM Park was one of the pioneers in opening doors to Taekwon-Do in times of harsh criticism from other martial arts and individuals. However, he could demonstrate and enforce the quality and effectiveness of our combat system.
We were happy to have his presence in the World Championship, during which he said that General Choi would have been very happy "to see this display of technique and organization all together."
5. Any final words for the members of ITF?
I consider that the development of ITF Taekwon-Do as an educational tool has just begun, and its consideration and inclusion as such within the different educational systems can do very well to the people in a world as troubled as the one we live.
To be able to move forward, we should be more professional in the teaching through increasingly refined Programs and with more capable and prepared Instructors. And this can be only achieved by having a clear vision of where we're headed and knowing that from each remote place on the planet, our Instructors strive to be better every day.
This is the beginning of our evolution.
Moreover, the acceptance of our application to the TAFISA entity (Sport for All) is another step in our efforts to achieve recognition and fundamentally the presence of our Taekwon-Do, not only in the Olympics, but also in each School, in each University and of course, in each Sportive Institution.
We are on the right path!
Thank you Grandmaster for your time.
