The only examples I agree with are Garcia and Cueto. Both Hanson and Kershaw were expected to do this.Every major league club searches for top-of-the-rotation starting pitchers because that's how teams win pennants. Look at the six division leaders. In the National League, the Phillies have Cliff Lee, Roy Halladay and Cole Hamels; the Brewers have Yovani Gallardo, Zack Greinke and Shaun Marcum; the Giants have Tim Lincecum, Matt Cain and Madison Bumgarner. In the American League, the Yankees have CC Sabathia and Bartolo Colon; the Tigers have Justin Verlander and Max Scherzer; and the Rangers have Alexi Ogando and C.J. Wilson. Every club is trying to find the next pitcher who can develop into the type of impact starter that puts it into a pennant race.
Besides the draft, international signings, free agency and trades, there are really only three other places you can find top-of-the-rotation starters:
1. The back end of your present rotation
2. Moving a pitcher from the bullpen to the rotation
3. Minor leagues
This piece will examine starting pitchers in the first category.
In recent years, we have seen several pitchers develop from the back to the front of their clubs' rotations, including Clayton Kershaw of the Los Angeles Dodgers, Tommy Hanson of the Atlanta Braves, Johnny Cueto of the Cincinnati Reds and Jaime Garcia of the St. Louis Cardinals.
4. Homer Bailey, RHP, Cincinnati
If Bailey, 25, can stay healthy, he should become a 15-18 game winner. He's had to overcome injuries, including shoulder problems this year. When healthy, his fastball is 90-96 mph with hard, arm-side sink. The pitch is so overpowering that at times he can throw it down the middle of the plate, tell the hitters it's coming and they still can't catch up. When he was drafted, he had a big curveball that was his primary breaking pitch, but now his tight slider or cutter is his most effective breaking ball. All his pitches move, and he's a fierce competitor who is really finding himself. His stubbornness is leaving, and his stuff is dynamic. If he keeps the shoulder healthy, he could develop like Cueto and end up at the top of the Reds' rotation. Maturity can get him there in a hurry.

VELLAKOVIL: Open-end spinning mills in and around the Kangayam-Vellakovil belt have either cut down or stopped production.
Of the 300 open-end spinning machines in over 65 mills in the region, only about 250 are in operation in around 45 mills. "The mills have stopped production or are lying idle because of the rise prices of waste cotton, which is the raw material," says R. Kittusamy, president, Vellakovil Open-end Spinning Mills Association. The open-end spinning mills purchase the cotton from regular spinning mills, where it is a waste.
The industries then use the waste cotton to spin out coarser varieties of yarn called mota ragam.
The yarn the open-end mills spin is used by handloom and powerloom weavers in Chennimalai, Bhavani, Karur and other places to weave bedsheets, bed spreads, blankets, grey fabric, etc. The 65-odd mills in the region consume about 1.8-lakh kg of waste cotton a day to spin 1.5-lakh kg of coarser varieties of yarn.
The mills procure the waste cotton mostly from spinning mills in and around Guntur in Andhra Pradesh and also from spinning mills in Tamil Nadu.
The treasurer of the association, P. S. Sivachellamuthu, says the price of the waste cotton has gone up by over 33 per cent. "From Rs. 36 a kg a couple of months ago, it has reached Rs. 48 now and that excludes transportation cost."
The association wants the Union Government to ban export of waste cotton, which they say is the reason behind price escalation. "The scarcity of waste cotton has led to increase in prices. But the price of yarn has remained the same, making industries struggle," the Association has said in a letter seeking ban on exports to the Union Minister for Textiles. Mr. Kittusamy points out that Tamil Nadu is more affected because it has the highest concentration of open-end spinning mills in the country.
"Of the 3,000-odd units in India, more than 1,500 are in the State," he says and adds that the industry supports around 10,000 labourers, who too are affected.

Hi all,
Just wondering if any of you knew of a product that actually works. I have used frontline in the past, but I really don't want to have my dog bring poison around my kids (feel bad for the poor dog too :) But anything else that I have tried I have ended up with bad bugs and my dog is really super sensitive to bites.
My mother periodically rubs food grade diatomaceous earth into her pet's fur, she said it works incredibly well......no fleas at all. She used the pesticides for years and will not go back.

Childhood Arthritis Month: Arthritis Society Leads Call for Easier Access to Therapy for Childhood Arthritis
Patients are asked to settle for more frequent, less effective treatments. The Society is calling on manufacturers and governments to work towards a swift resolution to ensure that young and vulnerable Canadians are able to receive timely treatment.
Toronto, ON (PRWEB) March 11, 2014
For Canadian children living with particular forms of arthritis, a simple corticosteroid injection can help manage their pain and prevent joint damage. But accessing the drug for their patients requires Canada's paediatric rheumatologists to engage in a complex and unreliable process that takes time away from seeing patients.
In a position paper released today, The Arthritis Society is calling on manufacturers and governments to work towards a swift resolution to ensure that young and vulnerable Canadians are able to receive timely treatment.
"Any process that places obstacles between a patient and their right to access treatment is simply unacceptable," says Joanne Simons, chief mission officer of The Arthritis Society. "On behalf of the families whose children rely on this treatment, The Arthritis Society is working with all parties to find a solution."
Aristospan® TH (intra-articular triamcinolone hexacetonide) is a safe, effective, and inexpensive medication that has been used for over 30 years to reduce joint inflammation and relieve pain in some children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis. Swift diagnosis and early treatment with the drug can help avoid painful symptoms and serious complications for growing bodies.
Valeo Pharma is the only company currently licensed to produce Aristospan® TH for sale in Canada, but they no longer manufacture the drug. Despite this gap in supply, Aristospan® TH is not currently listed on the Canadian Drug Shortage Database.
A paediatric rheumatologist who wishes to prescribe the drug for a young patient must complete a lengthy Health Canada Special Access Program (SAP) application for every six-month dose. Approved SAP requests are filled by producers who do not hold distribution rights in Canada outside of the SAP process. Health Canada reports that they process an average of 15-20 applications for access to Aristospan® TH each week for use treating children with arthritis.
"Aristospan is more effective and longer lasting than other injectable corticosteroids, allowing for more time between treatments," explains Dr. Brian Feldman, head of Rheumatology at Toronto SickKids, and chair of The Arthritis Society's Childhood Arthritis Advisory Council. "If it's not available, that means these children have to face more trips to the doctor – and more painful injections. That's bad enough when the family lives near the clinic, but it poses greater challenges for families who have to travel."
Impacted families are encouraged to contact The Arthritis Society for more information on the Aristospan® TH issue, and for templates that can be used to communicate with their federal and provincial legislators.
It is estimated that 24,000 Canadian children and teens aged 18 and under live with arthritis, or more than three out of every 1,000 kids. It's a startling number, particularly given the common assumption that arthritis doesn't affect children. Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is the most frequently diagnosed form, but lupus, psoriatic arthritis, vasculitis and other forms are also found.
To learn more about arthritis in children and teens, or to help support research and programs targeted to childhood arthritis, visit http://www.arthritis.ca/childhood.
The Arthritis Society has been setting lives in motion for over 65 years. Dedicated to a vision of living well while creating a future without arthritis, The Society is Canada's principal health charity providing education, programs and support to the over 4.6 million Canadians living with arthritis. Since its founding in 1948, The Society has been the largest non‐government funder of arthritis research in Canada, investing more than $185 million in projects that have led to breakthroughs in the diagnosis, treatment and care of people with arthritis. The Arthritis Society is accredited under Imagine Canada's Standards Program. For more information and to make a donation, visit http://www.arthritis.ca.

THE CITY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK Abstract The Relationship of Self-Concept and Academic Engagement to Each Other and to School Outcomes of Students with Disabilities by David P. Steinke, M.Ed. Advisor: Georgiana Shick Tryon, Ph.D. The present study examined the relationship between self-concept, engagement, and school outcomes for students with educational disabilities in grades 10 to 12. Participants included 105 students in grades 10 to 12 in a large suburban high school who were classified as having an educational disability which qualified them for special education services. Self-concept was measured using the Self Description Questionnaire II (SDQ II, Marsh, 1992b). Engagement was measured using the Motivation and Engagement Scale (MES, Martin, 2004). School outcome measures for achievement consisted of PSAT verbal scores and PSAT math scores. Other school outcome variables were the number of student absences, number of student discipline referrals, and number of extracurricular activities in which a student participated. Other student and family information was gathered by means of a Demographic Questionnaire and a student data form that was used to gather information about student classification and class placement. Statistical analyses using Pearson Correlations and Canonical Correlation Analysis indicated that academic self-concept was more related to academic achievement and extracurricular participation than engagement measures. Variables of student discipline and attendance were not significant. Overall, academic self-concept was more important in the relationship with academic outcomes for special education students than academic engagement.
The present study investigated the extent to which providing students with individualized performance feedback informed and directed their learning behavior. Individualized performance feedback was delivered to students using curriculum-based measurement progress indicators, either as a visual representation of ongoing performance in the form of a progress graph or as a progress graph supplemented with a qualitative analysis of topic mastery. Participants were 67 students enrolled in a first course in engineering calculus at a specialized public 4-year college. The College's specialization is within the maritime industry. Intact sections of Calculus I were randomly assigned to each of the feedback conditions. A contrast group of students who did not receive individualized performance feedback was formed. The impact of individualized performance feedback was examined in terms of measures of calibration accuracy, relearning, and academic performance when contrasted to corresponding measures from students who did not receive individualized performance feedback. Mixed-model analysis of covariance and mixed-model analysis of variance revealed differences between the feedback groups and the no feedback group. Differences for calibration accuracy approached statistical significance; however differences were statistically significant for measures of relearning and academic performance. For each measure, the students who received individualized performance feedback used that information to better judge their calculus capability, relearn topics not mastered more often, achieve at a higher level on course exams. When comparing the two feedback groups, there was evidence of differential self-monitoring activities. When students used the supplementary information gleaned from the mastery analyses, they studied non-mastered topics more often and had consistent study habits. Additionally, the group that received the supplementary mastery analyses not only reported more positive expressions of the usefulness of the feedback information, they also had strong associations between their perceptions of the usefulness of the feedback and corresponding measures of time engaged in academic activities and instances of relearning. Implications of the findings of this study suggest performance indicators appear to empower the student with the information to inform and direct one's learning behavior to become a successful learner.
Drawing on analogical reasoning theories, this study sought to determine whether learner-directed generation of factual hypotheticals coupled with the briefing of court decisions would be better than briefing alone in engaging in legal reasoning from two or more cases. Thirty-seven students and recent college graduates, who had been previously enrolled in pre-law programs that emphasized the reading of court decisions, were recruited. They were randomly assigned to two training groups--a structured hypotheticals training group, which used a grid to prompt the generation of factual hypotheticals from court cases--and a briefing group which summarized the court cases in response to questions regarding the parties, facts, issues and ruling/disposition of a court case. After training and reading of three court decision, both groups were required to provide a solution to a factual hypothetical --a transfer task. Measures on case comprehension, self-efficacy and self-evaluation beliefs regarding comprehension were also assessed to determine whether the intervention would interfere with comprehension and motivation. Univariate analyses showed that the hypotheticals group outperformed the briefing only training group in solving the factual hypothetical. Multivariate analysis also showed that the intervention did not interfere with comprehension, as both training groups did not significantly differ in comprehension subprocesses. Finally the two training groups did not differ on self-efficacy and self-evaluation beliefs in connection with their perceived ability to comprehend court decisions.
Literature on intergenerational relationships clearly illustrates the importance of the grandparent role in the family. While much research has been done on the grandparent role when children are typically developing, little research has been done on the grandparent role when children have special needs. This study looked at grandmothers of children with ASD. The investigator collected data from 34 mother - grandmother dyads from children who were typically developing, 31 mother - grandmother dyads from families of children who were diagnosed with HFA/AS, and 19 mother - grandmother dyads from families of children who were diagnosed with AD. First, the study looked at consistency between mothers' and grandmothers' report of grandmothers' strengths and needs. Second, the study looked at the impact of grandchildren's ASD on grandmothers' strengths and needs. Finally, the study looked at the impact of family systems variables on grandmothers' strengths and needs. The study also looked at background variables that may impact grandmothers' strengths and needs. Results from the study partially supported the hypothesis that grandmothers will view circumstances as good as or better than mothers view circumstances. To a large extent there was agreement between grandmothers' and mothers' reports of grandmothers' strengths and needs. Where there were significant differences, grandmothers' reports of grandmothers' strengths and needs were more favorable than mothers' reports of grandmothers' strengths and needs. Grandmothers reported more strengths and fewer needs than mothers reported. Results from this study strongly supported previous research showing that grandparents of children with special needs are different from grandparents of children with typical development in terms of their role and experience. Results showed that grandmothers of children with ASD have fewer reported strengths and more needs than grandmothers of children with typical development. Results partially supported the hypothesis that family functioning will be associated with greater strengths and decreased needs for grandmothers, indicating that these variables, when unbalanced, hinder inclusion of grandmothers' involvement and satisfaction. Directions for future research and implications for education are also discussed.
ABSTRACT PREDICTORS OF PSYCHOLOGICAL HELP-SEEKING ATTITUDES, WILLINGNESS TOWARD PSYCHOLOGICAL SERVICE UTILIZATION, AND PREVIOUS LEVELS OF PSYCHOLOGICAL SERVICE UTILIZATION AMONG ORTHODOX JEWISH PARENTS by Binyamin Tepfer Adviser: Professor Marian C. Fish The current study explores factors that predict levels of attitude toward psychological help-seeking, intention of utilizing psychological services, and levels of previous psychological service utilization among Orthodox Jewish parents. Attitude levels were measured using the Attitudes toward Seeking Professional Psychological Help Scale (ATSPPH), developed by Fisher and Farina (1995). Level of intention was measured by the Intention of Seeking Counseling Inventory (ISCI) (Cash et al., 1975). Predictor factors included in the study were gender, level of education, group affiliation within Orthodox Judaism, level of social stigma measured by the Stigma Scale for Receiving Psychological Help (SSRPH) (Komiya, Good & Sherrod, 2000), and scores on the Openness toward Western Values Scale (OWVS), a scale developed in the current study. Participants included 157 Orthodox Jews from various Orthodox Jewish communities across New York State. Logistic regression, multiple regression, and correlations were used to analyze the data. The current study found that scores on the Attitudes toward Seeking Professional Help Scale (ATSPPH), the Intention of Seeking Counseling Inventory (ISCI), and levels of previous treatment utilization were all positively correlated with each other. In addition, various demographic factors were important in predicting attitude levels, intention levels, and whether previous treatment was sought. Attitude, group affiliation, and level of openness toward Western values were all significantly predictive of previous treatment levels. Those with lower attitude levels, self-affiliated with more insular and less acculturated Orthodox Jewish subgroups, as well as those who scored lower on the openness toward Western values scale, tended to have significantly lower levels of previous mental health treatment utilization. Levels of stigma toward seeking psychological help were predictive of levels of intentions to seek counseling, but not of levels of attitude or levels of previous treatment utilization. Those with higher levels of stigma tended to have lower levels of intentions to seek counseling. In addition, gender was significantly correlated with level of attitudes toward help-seeking. Women tended to have more positive attitudes than men. Within the construct of attitudes, the level of attitude that parents had toward seeking psychological help for themselves was found to correlate positively with attitudes levels they had for seeking psychological help for their children. These findings are important in providing insight and understanding in psychological help-seeking behaviors and attitudes among Orthodox Jews, a population not previously researched. Schools and mental health clinics that serve this population need to understand potential causes of initial resistance to treatment, as well as low treatment utilization levels from a socio-cultural perspective. Appropriate interventions to increase utilization levels should be formulated and implemented addressing the underlying causes of resistance to treatment.
Struggling adolescent readers are distinct from others in two important ways: (1) They are adolescents; and (2) they have a history of struggle with reading. Good pedagogy prescribes that effective programs "meet students where they are." For middle-school students, this means meeting them in adolescence. Adolescents are more concerned with social norms and more susceptible to peer influence than younger children. Additionally, the fact that these youth are still struggling after years of reading instruction suggests that their motivation to persist at reading is likely to have suffered. To fully support and engage such adolescents, reading programs must leverage social processes and include explicit support for motivation and strategy use. This dissertation investigated the effects of a peer modeling instructional intervention on early adolescents' question asking, reading motivation and comprehension. Videotaped peer models demonstrated the use of question asking for comprehension and motivated participants to use the strategy. Participants were 48 sixth graders who attended public schools in New York City. Eighty-five percent were classified as reading below grade level. After completing an interactive tutorial on question asking, all students read a moderately challenging, computer-based science text. While doing so, participants in the Peer Modeling condition observed same-age, similar-ability peer models asking authentic questions about the text. After reading, all participants generated their own questions, completed a short survey, and were assessed for reading comprehension. The research found that peer modeling had a positive effect on the quality of questions that students asked and their text comprehension. Participants exposed to peer modeling asked more questions that were not answered in the text and more deep-level "I'm Confused" questions. They better understood the solution component of the text and recalled more critical idea units. Peer modeling did not affect participants' motivation or accuracy of comprehension judgments. In contrast to previous research, the study also found that students asked numerous deep-level questions, but that these questions were not necessarily linked to greater understanding. Additionally, higher motivation was not associated with greater comprehension. These findings have implications for the design of systems to support struggling readers and for theory-building about reading comprehension.
This study examined the relationship among grandparent support, family functioning, and parental stress on families with children with and without disabilities between the ages of 2 and 12 years. Families are viewed as an ever&ndashchanging complex system with reciprocal interactions. One possible stressor on the family system is the birth of a child with a disability. Parenting stress levels seem to fluctuate in the family system over time depending on the age of the child with a disability, developmental stage, and demands of the age and stage. Studies show that social support, specifically that from grandmothers, can buffer some of the stress related to parenting a child with a disability (Kuster & Merkle, 2003; Mitchell, 2007; Trute, 2003). The current study addressed the following research questions: 1) Do families with a child with a disability differ from families without a disabled child with regard to grandmother support, family functioning, and parental stress? 2) What are the relationships among grandmother support, family functioning, and parental stress in families with a child with a disability? Fifty&ndashthree mother&ndashgrandmother dyads completed surveys regarding their support, parent stress, child stress, life stress, family cohesion, and family flexibility. Results for the current study revealed that the groups were comparable on most family demographic variables, such as mother age, grandmother age, ethnicity, and highest level of education. Significant differences were observed in the ages of the target child and annual income between groups. Significant differences were also observed between groups with regard to overall stress, parenting stress, and child stress. Total stress, parent stress, and child stress were higher in families with a child with a disability than in families with a child without a disability. Grandmother support was positively associated with family flexibility and inversely related to life stress. Grandmother support abated some stress related to major life events and enhanced family flexibility. Support from grandmothers did not, however, enhance family cohesion or reduce stress related to raising a child with a disability. In sum, the experience of parenting stress, child stress, and overall stress was higher in families with a child with a disability, and grandmother support was associated with reduced life stress and enhanced family flexibility; however, grandmother support was not found to enhance family cohesion, or diminish parenting stress, child stress, or overall stress experienced by mothers.
The identification of patterned responding in unmotivated test takers was investigated through the formation of a novel method. The proposed method relied on marginal proportions of answer choice options as well as the transitional proportions between responses on item pairs. A chi square analysis was used to determine the degree of significance of each participant's patterned responding. The method was compared to the existing person-fit statistic lz (Drasgow, Levine & McLaughlin, 1987). Three publically available data sets - including a political science survey, an elementary school arithmetic scale and a general college course final exam - were used to test the occurrence of patterned responding and the ability of the proposed method to identify such unmotivated behavior.
Abstract PREDICTING SUCCESS IN TEACHER CERTIFICATION TESTING: THE ROLE OF ACADEMIC HELP-SEEKING by Marie C. White Advisor: Dr. Barry Zimmerman This study was designed to identify the help-seeking behaviors of preservice teachers who are at risk for failure of state certification examinations through use of a scale adapted to the arena of teacher education. In the past, self-report measures of help-seeking behavior patterns were not designed to be used in teacher education. The participants were 50 preservice teachers drawn from a small private college in lower Manhattan of New York City. The college maintains an open enrollment policy, giving students from minority populations an opportunity to enter higher education. Many of these students were underprepared for college level work and had to take remedial liberal arts courses before they could enroll in education courses. The student body is predominantly minority group members who have mainly attended New York City Public Schools. The students who participated in the study were second semester freshmen, and first and second semester sophomores. The help-seeking scale (White,2007) in the present research was adapted to provide a reliable and valid measure of students' use of this important self-regulatory strategy. This Preservice Teacher Help-Seeking Scales (PTHSS) was administered to preservice teachers who were preparing for the first of three state certification exams. In addition to reliability assessments, the validity of the scales was measured using three other instruments: (1) Instructor Help-Seeking Scale (IHSS), an adapted version of the help-seeking scales that is completed by participants' instructors (2) an observational measure of help-seeking behavior in teacher education classroom contexts (DOHS), and (3) scores on the New York State teacher certification exam entitled the Liberal Arts and Sciences Test (LAST). None of these indices of validity were included in prior research by Pajares and his colleagues. These results indicated the student questionnaire (PTHSS) demonstrated high levels of reliability and concurrent validity with an Instructor (IHSS) and an in-class observational measure (DOHS) of help-seeking. It also provided significant predictive validity in terms of scores on the LAST. Finally, the PTHSS also displayed construct validity in conjunction with the Instructor (IHSS). These results provide support for use of the scales by teacher educators to evaluate aspiring teachers' potential to pass the teacher certification exams. Once students with low PTHSS scores are identified, and their PTHSS profiles can be used to guide specialized training in help-seeking (Young, 2004).
The present study examined the factors related to school psychologists' use of projective tests and what trade-offs practitioners were willing to make between psychometric properties, convenience, and clinical judgment in their choices of hypothetical social-emotional tests. Further, the study explored the variables of professional identity, cognitive dissonance, extraversion, and self-efficacy as they related to practitioners' reported use of projective tests and to their preferences between hypothetical choices. Participants included 116 presenters at the 2010 Annual Convention of the National Association of School Psychologists. Data were collected with an online questionnaire that included measures of cognitive dissonance (Elliott & Devine, 1994; Matz, Hofstedt, & Wood, 2008), extraversion (John & Srivistava, 1999; Matz et al., 2008), and self-efficacy (Chen, Gully, & Eden, 2001; Huber, 2006). Correlational analyses indicated that the explanatory variables sometimes related to practitioners' use of projective tests. Conjoint analysis, using logistic regressions, indicated that when faced with hypothetical test choices, respondents generally showed a preference for the test with the best psychometric properties, most convenience, and least required clinical judgment. In general, most respondents indicated a preference for hypothetical tests that have robust psychometric properties, but they also reported using actual projective tests in practice. The constructs of professional identity, cognitive dissonance, self-efficacy, and extraversion, and the relationships among those variables and between those and the usage of projective tests provided some explanation for this phenomenon.

Environmental Task Force Hears Varied Ideas
By Eileen Fleming
New Orleans, La. – The energy panel heard calls for more bicycle paths, curbside recycling, salvage and deconstruction in building projects, native plants on levees, and even a better food supply.
Michael Smith is president of the New Orleans Food Cooperative.
He said there's money set aside to get more fresh foods into neighborhoods without grocers, but it's gotten stuck at City Hall.
Task force co-chair Beth Galante said the mayor-elect will be getting comprehensive advice on a variety of subjects, and ways to pay for the proposals.

GARLAND — Early Saturday morning, a group of shocked and saddened community members stood on Gibbs Road staring at a fire-ravaged single-wide mobile home.
In the wee hours of that morning, around 12:30 or 1 a.m., fire swept through the structure at 552 Gibbs Road, claiming the lives of six individuals, two of them reportedly children.
Resident Joyce Miles said her grandson, Solomon Hickmond, saw the fire just after 12:30 a.m. and ran across the street to the home and yelled out for the people inside.
"The whole front of it was on fire," she said. "We ran around to the back but the fire and smoke was too bad. It's a tragedy and they're going to be missed."
The names of those who died in the fire were not released Saturday, as Sampson's medical examiner tried to make positive identifications and law enforcement officials worked to notify next of kin.
Out of respect for the families and to ensure accuracy, The Independent has chosen not to report any names until officially released by law enforcement and emergency personnel.
Hickmond recalled trying to rouse those inside the mobile home, saying that the fire was coming out the windows and the front door. He tried to kick the door down, but fire gushed out towards him.
"From the outside, you can see that the roof was already caved in by the time I got there," Hickmond said. "The only thing you could see was black smoke."
Hickmond reported that a go-cart and gas container next to the home exploded during the rescue attempt.
He ran around beating on neighbors' doors asking them to help.
"But there was nothing we could do," Miles said. "We couldn't do anything."
Miles and Hickman said they were relatives of the victims.
"I can't believe it," Miles said.
Resident Bobbie McKiver said there was no screaming coming from the home.
"We heard nothing," she said. "But we knew they were in there."
Capt. Eric Pope, of the Sampson County Sheriff's Department, spoke on behalf of the organization and other emergency officials at the scene.
"We ask that the public keep the Garland community in their thoughts and prayers…," Pope said.
Pope also thanked the volunteer firefighters for their response in the wee hours of the morning.
"We would also like to extend our thoughts and prayers to the first responders who responded," Pope stressed. "They encountered things that volunteers should not have to encounter."
Garland Mayor Winifred Murphy was also at the scene for a couple hours after the incident occurred. She gave thanks for the first responders and neighbors that helped during the night.
"This is a tragedy for our community," Murphy attested.
Investigators with the Sampson County Sheriff's Office, the Sampson County Fire Marshal's Office, the NC State Bureau of Investigation, and agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) are currently probing the cause of the fire and the deaths.
Garland firefighters and a myriad of other responding agencies were on scene, first to put out the blaze and then to assist in combing through the charred remains.
Just after 6, law enforcement released the first statement saying that five bodies had been discovered. A couple hours later, as emergency crews worked inside the residence, a sixth body was found.
Although there's no indication of foul play, investigators are still processing the evidence as a crime until the cause of the fire can be determined and autopsies are complete.
"It's just normal procedure for us to proceed in that manner," Pope said.
Pope also cautioned families to check batteries in their smoke detectors to ensure they are working properly. For those who can't afford a smoke detector, he said, some local fire departments may provide one for free.
No additional information is available at this time.

World Tea Expo Reveals Nominees for Inaugural World Tea Awards
Academy Awards-style Ceremony for Tea Launches on the Queen Mary, On the Second Day of World Tea Expo, May 29 – 31 in Long Beach, Calif.
LAS VEGAS, May 5, 2014 /PRNewswire/ — There's more than just a new location for the 12(th) edition of the World Tea Expo (#WorldTeaExpo). A new World Tea Awards (#TeaAwards) dinner and ceremony will be held on the historic Queen Mary ship, recognizing some of the best in the global tea industry, May 30 at 7 pm. The Expo's Best New Products will be revealed, along with a number of community-voted award categories. The evening also features plenty of "red carpet" photo and social media opportunities, tea celebrities and tea infusions prepared by BKON. All of which are among the many highlights of the three-day World Tea Expo, the leading tradeshow and conference focused 100 percent on premium teas and related products, with fresh ideas, new trends and distribution channels. The Expo takes place May 29 – 31 in Long Beach, Calif. at the Long Beach Convention & Entertainment Center, and is co-located with the annual Healthy Beverage Expo (#HealthyBevExpo). Details are at WorldTeaExpo.com and HealthyBeverageExpo.com.
"The World Tea Awards is expected to sell out to a room of 300+ tea industry influencers from around the globe," says George Jage, director of The Beverage Group, a division of F+W Media, organizer of World Tea Expo and Healthy Beverage Expo. "Our maiden World Tea Awards on the Queen Mary will certainly be a night of industry-wide celebration and fun."
Gail Gastelu, publisher of The Tea House Times, who's hosting the World Tea Awards along with Jage, says, "The World Tea Awards is a tremendous opportunity to recognize and show appreciation to the industry overall, get dressed up and celebrate what makes our community so special. And it is with great excitement that George and I prepare to host this inaugural event, an enjoyable evening in which we can all celebrate together–infusing tea and tea cocktails and blending in a bit of glamour."
The evening's formal seated dinner will be followed by an entertaining World Tea Awards ceremony, culminating in the presentation of the Cha Jing Lifetime Achievement Award to Devan Shah, the creator and owner of International Tea Importers and Chado Tea Rooms. The Cha Jing Lifetime Achievement Award recognizes and celebrates individuals who have made considerable contributions to the growth, innovation and education of the specialty tea industry throughout their lifetime.
"We've been looking to create this event for years, and with our move to Long Beach, the Queen Mary provides the perfect setting for a black-tie affair," adds Jage. "Our longer term plans are to build the awards around recognizing retailers and businesses on the front lines of the tea revolution. We will expand this significantly in future years, but this first one is not to be missed. I still have people come up to me and proudly say they were at our first expo, and I'm sure this micro-event will attain the same passion as our trade show."

Bad example
In parts of our country there are problems between law enforcement and African Americans and that is bad. Worse than that, our president and the first lady are racist. They show this by the comments that they make about events that happen in our country and the comments they don't make about other events. This sets a very bad example.
Stand with Israel
Chestnut Creek School of the Arts is seeing more revenue and attracting more people to Galax, according to a yearly report given at Galax City Council's March 23 meeting.
CCSA Executive Director Chris Pollins-Shackelford told council that the school has continued to increase its revenue from sales, classes and donations since last year, which also followed their aim to increase exposure.
INDEPENDENCE — Col. John S. Fant, U.S. Army (Ret), will seek Grayson County's supervisor at-large position as an independent candidate in the upcoming November election.
A graduate of Independence High School, Fant holds a bachelor's degree in political science from Furman University; a master's of management from Troy State University; and a master's of strategic studies from the Naval War College. He is also a graduate of the Army's War College.
Galax's Felts Park will be the scene of Christmas splendor this year as High Country Lights, hosted in Glade Valley, N.C., for the last decade, will be on display from Thanksgiving night through Jan. 2, 2016.
According to a press release from Galax City Manager Keith Barker's office, the move is the result of "months of planning."
HILLSVILLE – Vanguard Furniture has experienced steady growth since it opened a plant last August in the Carroll County Industrial Park.
During a recent visit to the facility by Carroll officials, plant manager Joe Bill Norman said Vanguard has 65 employees with plans to expand to 200 within the next three to five years, according to information issued by the county.
Editor's Note: This information is taken from open court records and is a matter of public record.
The listings are complete. The newspaper, as a matter of fairness, will not honor requests to omit any listing.
For information on this column or questions, call 236-5178, ext. 213.
These marriage licenses were recorded in August of 2014, in the office of Susan M. Herrington, clerk of the Grayson County Circuit Court, Independence:
INDEPENDENCE — Robert "Bobby" Williams of Galax has filed to run for clerk of Grayson County Circuit Court and will officially announce his candidacy April 21. The announcement is set for 7 p.m. at the Baldwin Auditorium, located in the Historic 1908 Courthouse in Independence.
A wreck Monday afternoon on Meadow Creek Road in Grayson County left only minor injuries to three victims, but severe vehicle damage, according to Virginia State Trooper J.E. Tilson.
A 2006 Chevy Cobalt driven by Casas Zamir Echeagaray, 17, of Galax, collided with a 2002 Dodge Dakota, driven by Luke Daniel Weatherman, 31, also of Galax, said Tilson.
INDEPENDENCE – Incumbent supervisors and school board members in Grayson County have not filed to seek re-election, and only two constitutional officers have filed.
Three seats are open on the Board of Supervisors this election season — the Oldtown and Providence districts and the at-large seat.
So far, only newcomer John Fant — seeking the at-large seat — has filed to run. Incumbents Kenneth Belton, John Brewer and David Sexton have not announced whether they will seek re-election.
Deserving better
I cannot express enough my disappointment with Grayson County Schools' central office administration. Our students deserve so much better than anyone looking out for their own financial well-being. Put our tax dollars to good use by keeping quality teachers and building-level administrators in place. Not by deepening the pockets of the highest paid individuals in the school system. If our school board allows this to happen, it is a shame and very disappointing.

With go-karts, two miniature-golf courses, laser tag, batting cages, kiddie rides, and an arcade, Adventure Landing is more like an old-time boardwalk than a high-tech amusement park. But when the closest theme park is more than two hours away, you make do. The largest family-entertainment center in northeast Florida also encompasses Shipwreck Island Water Park, which features a lazy river for tubing, a 500,000-gallon wave pool, and four extreme slides—the Rage, HydroHalfpipe, Eye of the Storm, and Undertow.

VIDEO: Look Out! Car Suddenly Emerges From Foam On Highway
By Mark Memmott
Originally published on Tue January 29, 2013 12:46 pm
Weekend storms on Australia's "sunshine coast" whipped up sea foam that covered the beach and roads. And when we say covered, we're talking about deep stuff.
Check out how close one car came to hitting some folks. We've found two views on YouTube.
-- Close.
-- Even closer.
If you want to hear what the adult word is that those videos "bleep," click here.
Now This News has more video of all that foam here.
Update at 12:45 p.m. ET, Jan. 29: Our apologies. The video we posted earlier showing a "close" view of the car has been removed from YouTube. We've replaced it with a BBC report that includes the same footage.

A Voyage of Growth and Discovery
The UK premiere of a major collaborative installation between renowned American artists Mike Kelley and Michael Smith.
A Voyage of Growth and Discovery sees the man-child Baby IKKI, a character developed by Smith for over thirty years, navigate the infamous Burning Man festival in the Nevada desert. Alone in his journey amongst thousands of revellers, IKKI negotiates the primal elements of fire, water, earth and wind. A six-channel video installation replaying IKKI's 'voyage' is enveloped by a fantasy environment evoking that of the festival. At its centre stands a 30ft incarnation of IKKI himself.
A Voyage of Growth and Discovery was co-produced by West of Rome, Los Angeles and Sculpture Center, New York and is curated by Emi Fontana.

Singapore taking part in Survey of Adult Skills to test cognitive, workplace skills
About 5,000 to be tested for literacy, numeracy, problem-solving ability
Published on May 7, 2014 8:08 AM
Students in Singapore consistently ace international tests in maths, science and problem-solving but now it is the adults' turn to see how they measure up.
A series of tests has been devised to assess literacy, numeracy and problem-solving skills, a method millions of 15-year-olds around the world have already discovered with Pisa, or the Programme for International Student Assessment.
About 5,000 people aged from 16 to 65 in Singapore have been picked for the exercise - known as the Survey of Adult Skills - which will assess literacy, numeracy and problem-solving skills.
Nine other countries are participating in the second round of the survey, which is being conducted by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). It started last month.
