Gary Mullins is excited to see another one of his players get a chance to play at the collegiate level.
But at the same time, he's sad to see Brynden "Worm" Street go.
Street, a senior Logan High School football player, signed recently to play at Division II Glenville State College of the Mountain East Conference.
Street, who also played high school basketball at Logan, was a versatile athlete in his four-year career with the Wildcats' football squad.
The 6-foot-2, 190-pound Street was key to Logan's success on both sides of the ball and on special teams.
Street was known more as a defensive player in Logan's secondary but also played a huge role for the Wildcats on the offensive end.
Last year for 7-4 and Class AAA playoff-bound Logan, Street rushed for 1,444 yards on 167 carries and scored 14 touchdowns for an average of 8.6 yards per pop. He also caught six passes out of the backfield for 177 yards and two TDs. Logan's season eventually came to an end with a 41-14 playoff loss at Point Pleasant.
On the defensive side of the ball, Street had 60 tackles, five pass break-ups, one fumble recovery and two interceptions — one of which went for a 41-yard TD in the Nitro game.
Street was known for his speed, athleticism, leaping ability and his fierce hits on opposing running backs, wide receivers and quarterbacks.
"He's one of the best players that we have ever had here," Coach Mullins said. "I'd say that he is the hardest hitter of anyone that we've had here since 1994 when I played. I can at least speak for that time. He's a great kid and a great human being. You can't replace a player like that. You just have to try and get kids to step up together into a role like his because he was so important to us."
Most high school football players want to play on offense.
But when Street came to LHS as a freshman he welcomed a chance to gain a starting job in Logan's defensive backfield.
"We've only had two guys since I've been here, him and Jason Spurlock, who wanted to play defense first that that was their main goal — to get out there on offense," Mullins said. "That's hard to find in today's athlete that they like defense more than offense. He was on our special teams, was a great running back as he ran for 1,400 yards and scored 16 touchdowns. And he did all of this despite missing six or eight quarters. He could have easily been up to around 1,700 or 1,800 yards."
Street said he's looking forward to going to Glenville State.
"I'm excited," Street said. "I've always wanted to play college football since I was as kid. It's been a dream. They haven't told me exactly what position that I will play but I will be going as an athlete, which I will play pretty much wherever I can get on the field at, special teams, defense or offense."
Street said one of his most memorable moments in his Logan prep football career was back in 2011 in his sophomore season when the Wildcats rallied to win 22-21 at county rival Chapmanville. Street scored a last-minute touchdown and his older brother Joe Street, a Logan running back, scored the game-winning two-point conversion when Coach Mullins elected to go for the two points and the win instead of kicking the extra point and settling for overtime.
Joe Street ended up scoring on the conversion on a second effort after leaping at the goal line and initially getting stood up.
"My sophomore year when we won at Chapmanville on the last second touchdown and two-point conversion was pretty memorable," Worm Street said. "I caught the touchdown and my brother Joe scored on the two-point conversion. It was also a good feeling to go to the playoffs more than any other class."
Street said he enjoyed playing on the same team as his brother. A few years back, the Street family suffered a tragedy as their father passed away.
"It made things different having your brother on the same team," Worm Street said. "It was special, the game at Chapmanville, because it was my dad's birthday."
Street's prep career isn't quite done yet.
In June, Street will play in the North-South All-Star Basketball Game at the South Charleston Community Center.
Then in early August, Street will take part in the Hatfield-McCoy Senior Bowl at Mingo Central's Buck Harless Stadium. The annual all-star game pits the best graduated seniors from southern West Virginia against the top senior gridders from eastern Kentucky.
Two years ago, Joe Street scored a bowl-record four touchdowns on runs of 1, 2, 5 and 4 and led the West Virginia All-Stars to a 37-12 win over Kentucky. He ended up with 14 rushes for 66 yards.
Worm Street said he hopes he can follow in his brother's footsteps.
"I will be playing in the Hatfield-McCoy Senior Bowl football game on August 2," Street said. "I'll also be playing in the North-South all-star basketball game on June 20. It was kind of surprising to get invited to the basketball game as opposed to the football game. I am used to getting more recognition for football but it will definitely be an honor to play in both games. I'm excited to get a chance to play one more basketball game and one more football game with some of the best players from around the state."
Street will play for Coach Mullins one more time. Mullins was named recently as head coach of the West Virginia All-Stars in this summer's Hatfield-McCoy Bowl.
"The Senior Bowl is that much more important to me because I get to play on the team with a lot of the seniors that I have played with my entire life," Street said. "It definitely is exciting to play for my coach one more time. It will also be different at first to play against some of the players that have been on the other side of the football. But I think that it will be good. Gabe Maynard from Chapmanville is also going to play at Glenville State as well for football."
Mullins said what made the all-state Street such a good player was his knack for getting to the ball and his hard hitting.
"He's tremendous at going and getting the ball," Mullins said. "But what set him apart is that he is a hard-hitting guy. He caused a lot of pass breakups just by hitting when the ball gets there. He did a lot of that and caused a lot of fumbles along the way also. Him and the other two seniors on our secondary will be hard to replace. They have given us a great secondary over the last three or four years. He was a big reason why we were so good."
Mullins said he was disappointed that Street was passed over for the North-South All-Star Football Game. Joe Street played in the North-South, as well as the Senior Bowl, two years ago before going to the University of Charleston.
"It's a 100 percent joke that he was not invited to play in the North-South football game," Mullins said. "Him and Josh Rein both were deserving. Those two guys had great careers and it's unbelievable that those two guys were not invited to play in that football game."
With Street's graduation this spring it's the last of the Street boys in Logan as far as football eligibility goes.
"We knew that he had tremendous athletic ability when he came in as a freshman," Mullins said. "It's a sad day that we don't have any more Streets coming. Both have been great assets to Logan High School football for sure."
Street said he plans on studying sports managemenet at Glenville.
The Pioneers were 6-5 last year and are scheduled to open the season on Sept. 6 in an MEC road game at Concord. The two teams did not play in 2013.
This year's 11-game schedule features five home games and six road contests.
Glenville is coached by David Hutchison.
"The 2014 schedule is a very challenging but exciting schedule. However, I believe that my coaching staff along with our players are excited and ready for the challenge," Hutchison said.
In Week 2 GSC will return home as they host West Liberty on Sept. 13. Last season, the Pioneers were defeated by the Hilltoppers 16-13.
Week 3 takes the Pioneers back on the road as they travel to Fairmont State in the annual Battle of the Bit on Sept. 20. The Pioneers won last season 31-14.
In Week 4, Glenville returns home to host Urbana (Ohio) on Sept. 27. GSC fell to Urbana last season on the road 12-9.
The Pioneers then travel to West Virginia Wesleyan on Oct. 4 in week five of the season. The Pioneers defeated the Bobcats last year by a final of 35-32.
Saturday, Oct. 11 has Glenville State hosting the University of Charleston in the annual homecoming game. The Pioneers fell to the Golden Eagles last season 17-10.
Then on Oct. 18, Glenville travels to the University of Virginia-Wise. The Pioneers beat UVa-Wise 49-7 in 2013.
The following week on Oct. 25, the Pioneers host Notre Dame (Ohio) College. GSC defeated Notre Dame 20-16 last season.
On Nov. 1, Glenville State is set to hit the road at Shepherd. Last season, the Rams won 45-19 over the Pioneers. Shepherd is also the defending MEC champions.
The Pioneers follow up that game with a Nov. 8 game at Walsh University in a non-conference game. The Cavaliers fell to the Pioneers last season 33-21.
In the last game of the regular season, the Pioneers host the West Virginia State Yellow Jackets on Saturday, November 15. Last season, the Pioneers defeated the Yellow Jackets on the road, 17-12.

By the time of the presidential election of 1884, the people needed no Marcellus to impress upon them that there was something rotten in the state of their national financial affairs. The nation was in the midst of a business depression, the balance of payments was heavily unfavorable, the silver currency could not be forced into circulation, the national banking system was not fulfilling its purposes, a surplus revenue was piling up in the national Treasury, and the tariff was unsatisfactory both to protectionists and to free traders. Yet the platforms of both parties were practically identical on monetary and financial issues, which were scarcely discussed during the campaign. If any issue was present, it was the issue of honesty and businesslike management in government.
Once elected, the Cleveland administration accomplished a great deal in reforming government administration, but it made little progress toward solving the basic financial problems. Economically, Cleveland believed firmly in laissez faire. His accomplishments and his failures, therefore, offered a good yardstick for measuring the success of the laissez-faire philosophy in the last decades of the nineteenth century.
Resurgence of the Silver Controversy. About a month before Cleveland's inauguration, monetary affairs reached a critical stage. As a result of the unfavorable trade balance, the flight of foreign capital, and the business recession, gold was flowing out of the Treasury at an increasing rate. At the same time a smaller proportion of customs duties were being collected in gold.1 Consequently, the Treasury's gold reserve was declining at the rate of $4 million to $5 million a month and was dangerously close to $100 million, the minimum deemed necessary to maintain specie payments.
Far from being, alarmed over the dwindling gold reserve, the inflationists of the West and the South, representing two-thirds of the Democratic party, tried to persuade Cleveland to support increased government silver purchases. On the other hand, the more conservative members of the party sought to impress upon him that, if the silver program were continued, the Treasury and the banks would most certainly have to suspend gold payments. As Abram Hewitt, chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, expressed it,
The stock of gold in the Treasury is being exhausted, and cannot be replenished, except through purchase, which will soon put gold to a premium--

Oak Street Cinema, Saturday and Sunday at 4 p.m.; Monday and Tuesday at 7:15 p.m.
In this remarkable third feature by the French-Tunisian director Abdellatif Kechiche, a 61-year-old shipyard worker in the port city of Sète is laid off after four decades of service and sets about opening a couscous restaurant aboard the decrepit boat he buys with his severance pay. For Slimane Beiji, played with quiet, solitary force by screen newcomer Habib Boufares, the restaurant is both a folie de grandeur and a final testament—a way, he hopes, to unite the disparate members of his family (including his ex-wife, his four grown children, his current mistress, and her daughter) and restore his own bruised dignity. Yet the more Beiji devotes himself to the project, the further it seems to drift out of reach. I'm almost afraid to say how highly I think of The Secret of the Grain, for there is something so fragile about what Kechiche does that it risks crumbling under the weight of inflated expectations. Like Abbas Kiarostami and Hou Hsiao-Hsien (whose sensibilities he recalls), Kechiche favors casual observation over dramatic obviousness—a lively family-dinner scene may go on for close to 20 minutes before we fully realize who all the characters are and how they relate to one another. Never do we feel the hand of the filmmaker forcing us from here to there, telling us how to think or what to feel. Then, gradually, a story of considerable narrative complexity emerges, and by the time The Secret of the Grain reaches its breathtaking final act, our pulses are racing and our hearts are in our throats.

Five steps to make your ideas real
Innovation has no bounds. With Qwince as your technology partner, your seed of an idea can grow, evolve and become reality
- I Invent: we pinpoint the opportunities
- D Design: we engineer your innovation
- E Execute: we build your innovation
- A Accelerate: we evolve your technology
- S Secure: we secure your internet of things
INVENT: We are your innovation partner
We'll help you identify and utilise the opportunities and challenges.
To do this, we conduct different research projects to find new products for our customer.
For example, we are working with Brunel University in London on Thalmic Labs' MYO gesture control armband, to help elderly, disabled and low-mobility users to wirelessly control their favourite technologies.
MYO let us implement a new form of user interface that uses EMG signals from the forearm.
Gestures are recognized before movement thanks to muscle activity and 9-axis inertial measurement unit (MEMS) MYO embeds a Bluetooth 4.0 Low Energy chip for connectivity.
We are thinking applications in military, consumer and professional field.
DESIGN: We engineer your innovation
Have a bright idea but don't know what to do with it?
We are a group of highly skilled and experienced engineers with plenty of technical expertise and passion… for example, we are designing and developing a data collection platform for drones' remote sensing.
Drones are unlikely to become a part of daily life in the immediate future, but they beginnig taking on much larger roles for businesses applications.
Some forecasts predict that 12% of an estimated $98 billion in cumulative global spending on aerial drones over the next decade will be for commercial purposes.
We want to be in that market.
EXECUTE: We build your innovation
With our background as a security integrator, our main priority is the security of your data and communications. For example, we are designing and developing a secure identification system based on NYMI technology.
NYMI has enormous potential to improve our lives because it works by using your unique electrocardiogram (ECG) signals to act as a biometric authentication layer for other devices, applications and services. So NYMI uses your heartbeat like a password to confirm your identity.
This system offers three authentication levels: the wristband itself, user's unique cardiac rhythm and its mobile device, like a smartphone or tablet.
ACCELERATE: We evolve your technology
We build digital culture, boost innovation capability and confidence in technology and data security.
For example, PopPling (our brand new product) is our acceleration and evolution project.
Based on our data collection platform, PopPling is a brand new system to organise social events and enhance the live experience of guests. This system collects and shares content (photos, video, posts) with social networks and streams them live during the event in a totally cool way.
SECURE: We secure your Internet of Things
Our platform and our skills help organizations to protect and manage their logical, physical and cloud-based data assets.
An example is HYLA EYES on VUZIX M100 smartglasses.
We are qualified as an early adopter by the VUZIX DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM. We prototyped our product Hyla Eyes on Vuzix M100. Hyla Eyes is a secure data collection and certification system based on mobile devices, allowing completely secure communication with a control room and rendering data uneditable that is collected in the field.

In addition, the Qwince team behind PopPling are insightful, very enthusiastic and eager to work with clients to ensure that events are enhanced through their tools. I will definitely be recommending PopPling to my other clients, and will look for ways to incorporate them into events and crowd situations.

Today we want to point our visitors to a few important publications (both Christian and secular) found on other websites. By now, ISIS has murdered thousands of Christians in the Middle East and committed unspeakable atrocities — from burning a captured soldier alive to the crucifixion of Christian children. In February, ISIS beheaded 21 Egyptian Coptic Christians in Libya according to their own propaganda video. We have come across a tract written by some Christians in response to last mentioned atrocity asking the members and supporters of ISIS, and in fact everyone, some relevant questions: Two Rows by the Sea (also available in Arabic). Mark Durie wrote on Challenging Islams Warrant to Kill. The Atlantic has published a thorough analysis of ISIS that is well worth studying: What ISIS Really Wants [21 pages], and we want to offer our readers a quick one-page synopsis of that article as an appetizer and stepping stone towards the original detailed publication.

POINT PLEASANT — One man has been arrested and one is still wanted after an alleged break-in.
Officers with the Point Pleasant Police Department (PPPD) say last week, Ralph R. Kerwood, 30, Point Pleasant, was arrested by Lt. Shawn Ross on a warrant for grand larceny stemming from an investigation of an outbuilding being broken into and property stolen from a residence.
Kerwood appeared in Mason County Magistrate Court where a $20,000 bond was set. Kerwood was then transported to the Western Regional Jail.
Officers are looking for a second suspect in this crime - Robert "Robbie" Smith, 37, Point Pleasant. Smith is also wanted for grand larceny.
The PPPD is asking for the public's help in locating Smith. Anyone with any information should call 304-675-1104, or 9-1-1. The department only needs your information, not your name.

Nowitzki lifts Mavericks past Bulls 100-98
More News from Associated Press
DALLAS — Dirk Nowitzki said the ball felt flat coming out of his hand.
It turned out to be the perfect trajectory for the Dallas Mavericks.
Nowitzki hit a 3-pointer with 2.9 seconds left and the Mavericks rallied to beat the Chicago Bulls 100-98 on Saturday.
"This game was kind of like the story of our season," said Nowitzki, who finished with a season-high 35 points. "Every time someone writes us off, we find a way to come back."
The Mavericks trailed by 12 in the fourth quarter, but Nowitzki scored Dallas' last eight points in a 15-1 run over the final 3 1/2 minutes of the game.
After Jimmy Butler missed two free throws with 15.9 seconds remaining, Vince Carter drove down the lane and kicked a pass out to Nowitzki, who stepped into a 3-pointer with Luol Deng running at him.
Nowitzki raised both hands in the air and yelled as he headed toward the Dallas bench. Chicago's Nate Robinson then missed a jumper at the buzzer that would have tied it.
"It didn't feel great," Nowitzki said.
Dallas (36-37) remained a game and a half behind the Los Angeles Lakers and the Utah Jazz for the final playoff spot in the West. The Jazz beat Brooklyn and the Lakers held off Sacramento on Saturday night.
The Mavericks, who bounced back from a 25-point loss to Indiana, open a four-game road trip against the Lakers on Tuesday night.
"All these are must win for us," Dallas center Brandan Wright said. "We couldn't afford to lose two in a row."
Robinson scored 14 of his 25 points in the fourth in Chicago's first game since ending the Miami Heat's 27-game winning streak. The reserve guard made all seven of his 3-point attempts.
Carlos Boozer and Deng also had 25 points for the Bulls, who hit a season-high 12 3-pointers.
"This was definitely a tough loss," Chicago guard Kirk Hinrich said. "We just didn't finish it out. They have a lot of guys with lots of experience and I give them credit."
The Mavericks trailed 97-85 after Deng hit the Bulls' sixth 3-pointer of the final period.
Nowitzki made a 3 to cut Dallas' deficit to 97-95 with 53.9 seconds left. The Bulls, who missed three of four foul shots in the final minute, got a free throw from Boozer with 41.2 seconds remaining.
Nowitzki then hit a step-back jumper to get Dallas within one and Carter fouled Butler, who was open on a cut near the basket.
Butler missed two free throws, and the Mavericks grabbed the rebound and headed up the court. Carter looked to have a good look at the last shot, but instead passed to Nowitzki for the game-winner.
Nowitzki hit his first eight shots and finished 14 of 17 from the floor.
Robinson's jumper was well off and the Bulls were denied their season-high fourth straight victory.
Carter and Wright each scored 17 for the Mavericks, who finished 4-2 on a six-game homestand.
Dallas closed the third with a 12-1 run to tie it at 75.
Robinson scored all of Chicago's points in an 11-2 run to start the fourth. The 5-foot-9 guard then hit a 32-footer to beat the shot clock, putting the Bulls up 91-83 midway through the quarter.
"He was on fire," Nowitzki said of Robinson. "It was like a video game."
All-Star center Joakim Noah (right foot) was sidelined for the fourth straight game for Chicago, and guard Marco Belinelli (abdominal strain) missed his third straight. The Bulls also were without Richard Hamilton (lower back), who hasn't played since Feb. 26.

They're called megacaps for a reason: They're the market's biggest stocks, and the group is suddenly coming back into favor. And guess what? There are several exchange-traded funds ready to help investors focus on this segment of the market. But the solution may already be sitting in your portfolio.

The group is getting a lot of attention lately, in large part because the S&P 100, an index of the largest stocks of the S&P 500, is showing signs of life -- and may better hold its value if the market sells off. In February, the iShares S&P 100 Index OEF -0.2763899223982141% iShares S&P 100 ETF U.S.: NYSE Arca 93.81 -0.26 -0.2763899223982141% /Date(1432328400144-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 793096 AFTER HOURS 93.81 % Volume (Delayed 15m) : 12 P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap N/A Dividend Yield 2.0331606438546% Rev. per Employee N/A More quote details and news » Fund (OEF) nudged ahead of the broader 500 benchmark for the first time in five months. Then it nearly matched the broader index in March, which is notable in light of the lackluster performance of its most closely watched member: Apple. S&P Capital IQ's Todd Rosenbluth told clients last week to consider buying an ETF devoted only to the biggest companies. "We like the megacap stocks more than we like the next 400," he says, citing the firm's positive investment ratings on the stocks, among other factors. Morgan Stanley's equity strategists went further, urging bullishness on stocks with a market value of $100 billion or greater, of which there are more than 30.
BIG STOCKS ARE OFTEN HAILED as ports in a storm during volatile markets. But that argument isn't what it's cracked up to be. Megacap ETFs perform much like regular old S&P 500 funds most of the time, bearing correlations as high as 99% in some cases. Plain-vanilla large-stock ETFs already give a lot of heft to the biggest shares: They weight their holdings by market value. The two fund types are similar -- so similar that you don't need a portfolio makeover to benefit.
Just as importantly, think about your time horizon. Megacaps managed to outperform in the rough market of 2011, but the advantage was less than a percentage point. The group didn't offer much protection in 2008, when it fell 35% (the broad index lost 37%). A buy-and-hold strategy in either index has produced positive returns for a decade, but the broad index -- which gives you the faster growth of firms that are merely large, plus the huge stocks -- has enjoyed a modest advantage. The most popular megacap ETF, the iShares S&P 100 mentioned earlier, rose an annualized 7.3%, versus the S&P 500's 8.2%, for the 10 years through February. The slim performance difference is one reason to avoid trying to time the market. Get it wrong and you'll end with smaller returns from both investments.
The argument for owning giant stocks is strong and increasing. The group's dividend payouts are steady and rising, and valuations have grown more favorable. Megacap stocks' forward price-earnings ratio of 13.8 at the end of February reflected a steeper-than-usual discount to the S&P 500's versus the past five years, S&P data show. But none of it means you need to own a fund that specializes in only the biggest stocks. You're likely to enjoy comparable returns, or better, if you simply sit on your shares of iShares Core S&P 500 IVV -0.20938997719975805% iShares Core S&P 500 ETF U.S.: NYSE Arca 214.46 -0.45 -0.20938997719975805% /Date(1432328400040-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 1829180 AFTER HOURS 214.34 -0.120000000000005 -0.05595449034785042% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 11752 P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap N/A Dividend Yield 1.868354005408934% Rev. per Employee N/A More quote details and news » ETF (IVV) or Vanguard S&P 500 VOO -0.21973529562062447% Vanguard S&P500 ETF U.S.: NYSE Arca 195.26 -0.43 -0.21973529562062447% /Date(1432328400181-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 819723 AFTER HOURS 195.1 -0.159999999999997 -0.08194202601659326% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 11865 P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap N/A Dividend Yield 2.0157738400081944% Rev. per Employee N/A More quote details and news » ETF (VOO).

U.S. NAVAL SPACE COMMAND DAHLGREN, VIRGINIA and AMERICAN FEDERATION OF GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES, LOCAL 2096
Case No. WA-CA-00071
Lisa Belasco, Esquire
For the General Counsel
Before: JESSE ETELSON
Administrative Law Judge
On February 28, 2000, the General Counsel of the Federal Labor Relations Authority (the Authority), by the Regional Director of the Washington Regional Office, issued and served on a representative of the Respondent a Complaint and Notice of Hearing. This document also advised the Respondent that it must file an Answer to the complaint by March 27, 2000. It further stated that, "[i]f the Respondent does not file an answer, the Authority will find that the Respondent has admitted each allegation. 5 C.F.R. § 2423.20(b)."
Respondent has not filed an Answer. On April 10, 2000, during a settlement conference call held under the auspices of this office, and again on April 11 during a telephone call between Counsel for the General Counsel and the individual who participated in these calls on behalf of the Respondent, its failure to answer was called to that individual's attention. On April 20, 2000, Counsel for the General Counsel filed and served on Respondent, by certified mail, a Motion for Summary Judgment based on Respondent's failure to file an answer.
On April 27, 2000, I commenced a previously scheduled prehearing conference call, in which Counsel for the General Counsel and a representative of the Charging Party participated. No representative of the Respondent joined the call.
The Respondent has neither responded to the motion for summary judgment nor requested an extension of time to make such a response, which was due, pursuant to section 2423.27(b) of the Authority Rules and Regulations (5 C.F.R. § 2423.27(b)), within 5 days of service of the motion.
Respondent's failure to answer the complaint or to respond to the motion for summary judgment require that the allegations of the complaint be deemed to be admitted. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Environmental Research Laboratory, Narragansett, Rhode Island, 49 FLRA 33, 36, 40-41 (1994). Therefore, I make the following findings of fact, conclusions of law, and recommendations.
The Charging Party (the Union) is a labor organization as defined in section 7103(a)(4) of the Federal Service Labor-Management Relations Statute (the Statute) and is the exclusive representative of a bargaining unit of employees appropriate for collective bargaining with the U.S. Naval Space Surveillance System. The U.S. Naval Space Command, the Respondent in this case, is an activity and/or component of the U.S. Naval Space Surveillance System, which in turn is an activity and/or component of the U.S. Department of Defense, an agency as defined in section 7103(a)(3) of the Statute. The bargaining unit described above includes employees of the Respondent.
Patrick Kearns is an employee as defined in section 7103(a)(2) of the Statute and is employed in the bargaining unit. On or about October 25, 1999, Wendolyn S. Brown, a supervisor and/or management official under sections 7103(a)(10) and (11) of the Statute, met, as a representative and acting on behalf of the Respondent, with employee Kearns. At this meeting, Brown questioned Kearns about an incident that had occurred on or about October 6, 1999, where Kearns had met in the parking lot with the employee coming on shift to replace him.
It was reasonable for Kearns to believe that disciplinary action could result from Brown's questioning. During the meeting, Kearns requested a union representative. Brown denied Kearns' request. After refusing Kearns' request for union representation, Brown questioned Kearns concerning the October 6 incident.
Brown's questioning of Kearns constituted an "examination of an employee in the unit by a representative of the agency in connection with an investigation" within the meaning of section 7114(a)(2)(B) of the Statute. The employee having reasonably believed that the examination might result in disciplinary action against him, and having requested union representation, the Union was required to have been given the opportunity to be represented at the examination.(1)
Th facts set forth above, therefore, establish that the Respondent failed to comply with section 7114(a)(2)(B) and thereby violated sections 7116(a)(1) and (8) of the Statute. Accordingly, I recommend that the Authority issue the following Order:
Pursuant to section 2423.41(c) of the Authority's Rules and Regulations and section 7118 of the Federal Service Labor-Management Relations Statute, the U.S. Naval Space Command, Dahlgren, Virginia, shall:
1. Cease and desist from:
(a) Requiring any bargaining unit employee to take part in any examination by its representative in connection with an investigation, without union representation, when the employee has requested such representation and reasonably believes that the examination may result in disciplinary action against him or her.
(b) In any like or related manner interfering with, restraining, or coercing its employees in the exercise of their rights assured by the Statute.
2. Take the following affirmative action in order to effectuate the purposes and policies of the Statute:
(a) Post at its facilities where bargaining unit employees represented by the American Federation of Government Employees, Local 2096 are located, copies of the attached Notice on forms to be furnished by the Federal Labor Relations Authority. Upon receipt of such forms, they shall be signed by the Commanding Officer, U.S. Naval Space Command, and shall be posted and maintained for 60 consecutive days thereafter, in conspicuous places, including all bulletin boards and other places where notices to employees are customarily posted. Reasonable steps shall be taken to ensure that such Notices are not altered, defaced, or covered by any other material.
(b) Pursuant to section 2423.41(e) of the Authority's Rules and Regulations, notify the Regional Director, Washington Regional Office, in writing, within 30 days from the date of this Order, as to what steps have been taken to comply.
Issued, Washington, DC, May 22, 2000.
Administrative Law Judge
The Federal Labor Relations Authority has found that the U.S. Naval Space Command, Dahlgren, Virginia, violated the Federal Service Labor-Management Relations Statute, and has ordered us to post and abide by this Notice.
WE WILL NOT require any bargaining unit employee to take part in any examination by its representative in connection with an investigation, without union representation, when the employee has requested such representation and reasonably believes that the examination may result in disciplinary action against him/her.
WE WILL NOT in any like or related manner interfere with, restrain, or coerce our employees in the exercise of their rights assured by the Federal Service

By Bill Haslam, Governor
In the little over a year that I have been in office, I've been reminded time and again about the incredible state we live in and the inspiring people who call Tennessee home.
Whether it's visiting with families after last spring's deadly tornados, sitting down with teachers for breakfast, or spending time with Tennessee guardsmen and women in Iraq and Afghanistan, I've been struck by the fact that Tennesseans from all walks of life are so willing to give of themselves to create a better state for our children and grandchildren.
And isn't that what we all strive for … to make things better for future generations?
On January 30, I had the privilege of delivering the annual State of the State address during a joint session of the 107th General Assembly to report on how Tennessee is doing,
And I'm pleased to tell you that in many ways we are doing great. We're a state with low debt and low taxes. The economy is improving, and we added more than 28,000 new jobs with $4 billion in capital investment last year. The unemployment rate is the lowest it has been since 2008, and across the country, Tennessee is being recognized as a leader in education reform. But yet, we still face serious issues.
Unemployment is still too high, and we are consistently only in the mid-40s when states are ranked for educational achievement. I don't think any of us should be satisfied. I think we can believe in better. We can believe in better for how state government serves Tennesseans. We can believe in better when it comes to the education of our children. And we can believe in better when we talk about a stronger, healthier economy for our state.
In the State of the State address, I presented a balanced budget that reflects our administration's priorities and includes strategic investments, necessary cuts and savings for the future.
While many states have cut funding for K-12 education over the last several years because of the recession, Tennessee hasn't, and we're continuing to fund cost increases in education. Our budget also makes higher education a priority through operational funding investments and $264 million for long-deferred building projects. When 21 percent of Tennesseans have a degree compared to a national average of 30 percent, we have to encourage more access to more students.
This budget also includes $15 million to lower the tax burden on family farmers and family business owners as their operations span generations by raising the exemption on the estate tax from $1 million to $1.25 million. There is also $18 million in the budget to take the first step in lowering the state portion of the sales tax on food from 5.5 percent to 5 percent over three years.
And we're putting $50 million into the Rainy Day Fund bringing it up to $356 million. While it is important to return taxpayer dollars to taxpayers every chance we get, we've also seen the importance of a healthy Rainy Day Fund to pay for critical services during difficult times. I will continue to make it a priority to build our reserves steadily while I'm in office.
I believe state government's role is to provide services people can't get on their own, and my job is to make sure Tennesseans are getting those services at the lowest cost and in the most customer-friendly, efficient and effective way. That's what you as a taxpayer expect, and it's what you deserve.
In working together with the General Assembly to focus on meaningful issues and to pass our responsible budget, I know that we can achieve better for Tennessee.

Slang term for people from Minnesota, especially northern Minnesota.

Granville senior guard Brittany Atkinson drives past a Newark Catholic defender during a recent game. Behind Atkinson's 17 points, Granville defeated Lakewood to improve to 3-1 in the Mid-State League-Ohio Division.
- Filed Under
Being a senior who has plenty of experience, Granville's Brittany Atkinson understands when she needs to step up and make plays for her team. After jumping out to a big lead to start the game, the Blue Aces watched as visiting Licking Valley came storming back to overcome a 16-2 deficit.
But just when it looked liked the Panthers were seizing control, Atkinson scored six consecutive points to jump-start a 10-0 run at the end of the third quarter. That gave the Blue Aces a 39-30 lead.
Like it did early in the game, Valley battled back, and it took Abby Barker's 3-pointer with 40 seconds left to give ...

Repair was as easy as could be...All I had to do was slide out the old bucket and slide in the new one. The only problem was Partselect initially shipped the wrong bucket/auger unit. Upon being notified of the error, they shipped out a new one and I received it three days later. The quality seems the same as the original part, and the Partselect price was almost 35% less than from the mfg. I would definitely order from them again!

The 8th Annual Galax Leaf & String Festival will continue to highlight the rich cultural heritage of the region by showcasing local musicians, artisans and authors on Friday and Saturday in downtown Galax.
And this year, with a banner presentation being held and a tribute to The Crooked Road featuring regional musicians, Leaf & String is being designated a partner of the state's heritage music trail.
HILLSVILLE — When Mark Shockley tends his fields in spring, he's in for a day of grueling, backbreaking fun.
He calls it "fun," but the truth is what Shockley does to prepare for planting takes a lot of love and labor.
It hardly felt like spring last Monday as the wind swept over the five acres that Shockley farms with his antique tools, and where he puts on "Old Timey Day" to demonstrate the old-fashion ways after harvest in the fall.
Chestnut Creek School of the Arts officially began Phase II of its long-range plans with the opening of Oldtown Pottery co-op in downtown Galax on April 1.
Phase I is well underway with the successful completion of a variety of classes in diverse genres of art, crafts and music.
Volunteers, board members and staff for CCSA and co-op members have been working for months to prepare membership guidelines, policies, leases and particularly renovations to the pottery studio building.
All 18-year-old Emily Ogle can think about is making her princess fairy tale come true for her and mom Debbie Ogle, who is battling Stage 4 breast cancer.
Emily has it all planned out, as she fantasizes about dressing up in an ball gown and riding with her date through town in a horse-drawn carriage on the way to prom on Saturday.
"I wanted to be like Cinderella," said Emily, a junior at Galax High School. "It's just a wonderful time of life."
The fight is the easy part, says Cesar Llamas, as the 145-pound mixed martial arts fighter grapples his training partner to the mat inside of the cage, preparing for his big title fight Saturday in North Carolina.
It's easy for Llamas because he's at Elite Combat Martial Arts in Galax five days a week, hardcore training, conditioning, learning every fight scenario and brawling for hours in preparation for his title shot for Carolina Fighting Promotions in Wilmington, N.C.
INDEPENDENCE — Three years ago, Parker Carico was diagnosed with autism and had a vocabulary of five to 10 clear words.
Now — after a team effort between home and school — Parker can speak more than 300 words and use some full sentences.
Parker is a kindergarten student at Independence Elementary.
This past fall, the school system helped implement a program with Dr. Chris Layne, director of the Lake Norman Counseling and Autism Center.
Mixed martial artist Cesar Llamas of Galax brought home the title last Saturday, putting his 5-0 opponent in a submission hold in the second round, during a competition sponsored by Carolina Fight Promotions in Wilmington, N.C.
This is the fourth fight for Llamas, who has trained at Elite Combat Martial Arts in Galax for three years and now has a 4-0 record. The muay thai fighter describes his style as "vale tudo," which is Brazilian for "anything goes."
HILLSVILLE — The community and the Southwestern Virginia Training Center strengthen each other.
That was the message at the training center's volunteer reception dinner April 23, as officials recognized the special efforts of a handful of community members and thanked the residents for their work for the good of the community.
Looking for a house a few blocks from Palm Beach in sunny Florida?
Susannah Pushkin, whose grandparents were originally from Baywood, is hoping someone will agree to trade her a home in Galax in exchange for her 1,358-square-foot house in Lantana, Fl.
Pushkin is the owner of a two-story, 100-year-old farmhouse in the Baywood community of Grayson County, and is looking for something to do with the property. In order to begin working on the place, she needs a home back in Galax.
When the show's over, actors Randy Carico and Art Pemberton might have an identity crisis.
The pair stars in the Galax Theatre Guild and New River Players production of the popular laugh-out-loud comedy "Greater Tuna," opening later this month at the Rex Theater in downtown Galax.
Carico, of Pinnacle, N.C., and Pemberton, of Galax, portray all of the 20 eccentric characters — of both genders and various ages — in the town of Tuna, Tex.
They quickly change personas and costumes throughout the production.
The little speckled dog with the black face sits obediently by his owner's feet, never daring to get up and even resisting the primal urge in every canine to run after a thrown ball or chase little tykes around the room.
It's this kind and gentle demeanor that made Hampton's trainer suggest that he become a therapy dog.
Now, the 2-year-old heeler/springer spaniel mix is certified and qualified to put people at ease and spread good will.
The $661,509 renovation of Chestnut Creek School of the Arts seems to be running on budget and on schedule as South End Construction transforms the former First National Bank in downtown Galax, into the art school, with completion expected no later than the first week in August.
"The inside job helps out quite a bit during this time of year," said City Manager Keith Holland. "There hasn't been much of a weather delay."
When the Korean War ended more than 50 years ago, the enemy never returned or accounted for more than 8,000 American servicemen.
Since that time, DNA matching has been perfected and more and more remains are being recovered in North Korea.
The government is obligated to return those remains to their families, and Harold Davis — a 78-year-old combat veteran of the Korean War — is working with the U.S. military's Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command (JPAC) to ensure all those soldiers' remains are sent home.
AUSTINVILLE — The lack of a fishing license for her Mexican stepfather led to a heartfelt letter to President Obama that became a national Scholastic contest winner.
Scholastic Book Clubs named Laurel Elementary fifth-grader Desiree Nguyen as one of 200 "very smart and insightful winners" of the "Dear Mr. President" contest, chosen from nearly 15,000 entries from across the United States.
Fifth grade teacher Anita Dalton gave her students a chance to enter the writing contest for extra credit.
MOUTH OF WILSON — Three-year-old Tyler Musick plays in the floor with his Thomas the Tank Engine train set, not realizing that what he did just days before could have saved his dad's vision.
On March 23, Tyler and his dad Troy were around their home in Mouth of Wilson. The two went across the street, where an old farm truck was parked.
It was around 6 p.m., and Troy lifted the hood to check an antifreeze hose on the truck.
When he did, the hose broke free, spraying the liquid in Troy's eyes.
Eggs are a timeless and symbolic part of Easter, representing natural and spiritual rebirth and the circle of life.
They're also ticking time bombs of bacteria if improperly cooked and can stink up the house if hidden and not found by your kids for weeks.
Ah, memories...
This weekend, millions of families will dip eggs in dye, paint colorful designs and apply stickers of bunnies or Spongebob. And, a lot of them will get sick from eating undercooked eggs.
HILLSVILLE — Regina Dalton won't let multiple sclerosis get her down — and she's doing what she can for others, too, through a new support group in the Twin Counties.
"My personal motto is 'I have MS, but MS doesn't have me,'" she explained when talking about what led her to launch the Twin County MS Support Group. "I'm not going to give in to it... I have too much to live for."
Though her eyesight has worsened and her energy level has dropped, Dalton remains defiant.
It has been 30 years since 60-year-old Nancy Lineberry and her 62-year-old husband Roger have rolled a bowling ball, but recently Roger scored a 198 and Nancy a 168 at a game of bowling — on a Nintendo Wii, that is.
Since the Galax Recreation Center purchased the popular gaming system for the senior lounge, the Lineberrys said they can finally get back to the sports that they used to enjoy when they were younger, like golf, bowling, tennis and baseball.
John Nunn of Galax remembers hearing about a drug store located at the old First National Bank in Galax. The owners kept ice in the basement that they chiseled away from the New River in the winter and used it to cool Coca-Colas — back when Coke was made with cocaine.
In the 1950s, Nunn recalls that Galax had more manufacturers than any other town, and there were more people working here than lived here, he said.
Amidst the rejoicing, Tuesday's historic inauguration brought back memories of a long struggle for the black community in Galax.
Alfreda Robinson and Wilma Kyle remember when they were not allowed to attend prom, couldn't swim in the community pool and had to sit in the balcony during movies at the Rex Theater in downtown Galax.
Carrie Robinson recalls having to gather and carry coal to the pot-belly stove that heated the elementary school and having to use outdoor restrooms.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - Tamika Catchings scored 18 points and the defending champion Indiana Fever pulled away in the fourth quarter and beat the Seattle Storm 71-63 on Sunday night.
``That was a great team win. A great effort,'' Catchings said. ``I think everybody did a really good job stepping up tonight. Our defense was definitely better in the second half. We did a much better job taking care of the ball and executing offensively.''
Zellous' 3-pointer with less than a second left in the third quarter tied the score at 50-all. Indiana then opened the fourth with a 10-2 run to take an eight-point lead with 6:43 remaining. Seattle got no closer than four the rest of the way. Breland and Zellous had four points each during the spurt as Seattle shot 0 for 3 from the field with a turnover during its dry spell.
Indiana's Briann January was hit in the head in the first quarter and left the game. She played the entire second quarter, but was evaluated by doctors at halftime and did not return due to a concussion. January is the seventh player to miss time for the Fever. Six of the team's top seven scorers from 2012 have missed stretches due to injury.
``I've never experienced a season with so many injuries,'' Fever coach Lin Dunn said. ``I've also never experienced a season where so many other people decided to step up.
``What we're trying to prove is that we're not through. Just because we're hurt doesn't mean we're through playing.''
With January out, Dunn moved Catchings from power forward to point guard and everyone else adjusted.
``I told (Briann) don't ever leave me out there like that again,'' Catchings said. ``You have a newfound respect for point guards when you have to play it. ... You're the quarterback of the whole thing and you get tired fast.''
The Fever were a franchise-best 18 for 18 on free throws.
Shekinna Stricklen scored 11 points for the Storm (4-6) while Tina Thompson added nine in her final regular-season trip to Indianapolis. Seattle has lost three in a row.
``Overall we hustled pretty well and moved the ball,'' Stricklen said. ``We got killed on second chance points. They out rebounded us. We got good shots, they just didn't fall.''
The Fever picked up their defense in the final period and limited the Storm to 36.4 percent shooting from the field. Indiana won the rebounding contest 34-22, including 12 on the offensive end.
``Indiana hurt us on the offensive boards,'' Storm coach Brian Agler said. ``The offensive boards hurt us and 20 turnovers.''
The Fever sprinted out to a 17-4 lead in the first quarter thanks to a pair of 3-pointers and a four-point play by January. The Storm then answered with a 10-0 run after January was hit in the head and left the game at the 4:18 mark of the first quarter.
``It's nothing really new to us anymore,'' Breland said. ``We can sit around and cry about it, but that's not going to help. ... We're learning how to overcome stuff like that.''
Seattle grabbed its first lead in a physical game with 2:09 left in the second quarter, but neither team pulled away until Indiana in the fourth.
Fever rookie Layshia Clarendon returned from a two-game absence due to a left hip contusion, but doctors limited her minutes.
