KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Justin Coleman and Cameron Sutton returned interceptions for touchdowns Saturday as Tennessee scored after each of Western Kentucky's five first-quarter turnovers in a 52-20 victory.
Western Kentucky (1-1) turned the ball over five times in a span of six snaps during the first quarter, turning an early 3-0 lead into a 31-3 deficit.
The Football Bowl Subdivision record for consecutive turnovers forced by a defense is seven straight series. Florida State had four fumbles and three interceptions in its first seven possessions of a 42-13 loss to Florida on Oct. 7, 1972.
Western Kentucky quarterback Brandon Doughty threw five interceptions, including Coleman's 23-yard touchdown return and Sutton's 36-yard score. Brian Randolph picked off two Doughty passes in the end zone.
Marlin Lane rushed for 97 yards and one touchdown for Tennessee (2-0). Rajion Neal ran for 74 yards and three touchdowns.
Western Kentucky's Antonio Anderson rushed for 111 yards.

Crater with Streak
December 22, 2011
This Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) image shows a crater in the Memnonia region of Mars, around which has formed a wind streak. The bright streak is in the lee of the crater--that is, it is on the crater's down-wind side. Thus, the winds responsible for the streak blew from the southeast (lower right).

Critical Review by Claire Messud
SOURCE: "Ancient Spirits," in TLS, No. 4780, November 11, 1994, p. 19.
In the following review, Messud states that while many of Walker's earlier short stories are skillful, her later stories are more like memoirs or essays which uphold a political agenda rather than art.
None of the pieces in The Complete Stories of Alice Walker is new: the book is a combined reprinting of her two earlier collections, You Can't Keep A Good Woman Down and In Love and Trouble. It seems perhaps premature, given Walker's relative youth, to have deemed these two books the sum total of her short fiction output, and cynical readers might here spy a marketing strategy designed to dupe fans into buying duplicate copies of the stories unawares. The collection does, however, afford the opportunity to read again the work Walker produced before The Color Purple brought her immense success and she began to focus more particularly on the novel form. The short story is at once elastic and rigid, and Walker reveals her ability to stretch it to its limits, as well as her occasional failure to gauge where it will break. The stories here are a varied lot, reflecting the times in which they were written and the particular cultural heritage out of which Walker writes. Whether successful or not, they are all personal works of art, written with self-awareness and integrity.
This can be a mixed blessing. The stories are at their strongest when they are least overtly self-conscious. "The Revenge of Hannah Kemhuff", for example, bears the weight of Walker's family history (a story her mother told her) and of her ethnicity (the traditional power of voodoo in Southern black culture), but it carries these things lightly. The story, almost fabular, is engaging and memorable, telling of the curse put on a white woman by the black woman she had wronged many years before. Walker has written that, when working on the story, "I had that wonderful feeling writers get sometimes, not very often, of being with a great many people, ancient spirits, all very happy to see me consulting and acknowledging them." It is a feeling subtly but powerfully conveyed in the fabric of the story; and it is also present in a number of other pieces, among them "Strong Horse Tea" (also about a witch-doctor), "To Hell With Dying" and "Elethia".
All but one of these are from Walker's first collection, which was, overall, very fine. The remaining one, "Elethia", though it is a marvellous tale, is a patchy piece of prose. It opens, "A certain perverse experience shaped Elethia's life, and made it possible for it to be true that she carried with her at all times a small apothecary jar of ashes." This sentence is dreadful in its failure, in the carelessness that has allowed the bunching of meaningless words ("made it possible for it to be true") at its core. In a short story, such a lapse is nearly irredeemable, and yet, only a few pages later, Walker's prose crackles with life: "They used to beat him severe trying to make him forget the past and grin and act like a nigger. Whenever you saw somebody acting like a nigger, Albert said, you could be sure he seriously disremembered his past."
The stories that made up the second collection rarely offer such strong writing. Manifestations of a more relentless self-consciousness, they are frequently signs of Walker's political involvement at the expense of her art. While individual stories like "Fame", about an elderly black woman writer fed up with receiving awards, allows moments of levity or irony, many are closer to memoirs or essays—like the uniquely awful "Coming Apart", a pedantic introduction to a collection of essays on pornography which Walker subsequently called a short story. They strive bluntly to work out issues rather than to tell tales. In bulk, the tone of these later stories is often both self-righteous and confused, as Walker thinks through her observations on black identity, abortion, sex, feminism, the politics of black on white rape … often without drawing any notable conclusions. By doing her thinking out loud, she allows the reader neither the space to think for herself nor the luxury of literary enjoyment. Nor is the carelessness of "Elethia"'s opening sentence singular; the wholly ominous beginning of a lengthy, wandering, weak story entitled "Source" reads, "It was during the year of her first depressing brush with government antipoverty programs that San Francisco began to haunt Irene". Neither enticing nor grammatical, it wears its preachiness like a red flag, and would be enough to deter even Walker's most ardent supporters.
Addressing the Black Students Association at her alma mater, Sarah Lawrence College, in 1971, Walker said:
The truest and most enduring impulse I have is simply to write…. My major advice to young artists would be that they shut themselves up somewhere away from all debates about who they are and what color they are and just turn out paintings and poems and stories and novels."
But she went on "of course the kind of artist we are required to be cannot do this. Our people are waiting. But there must be an awareness of … what is practical and what is designed ultimately to paralyse our talents. For example, it is unfair to the people we expect to reach to give them a beautiful poem if they are unable to read it."
Although uttered at the time when Walker was writing some of her best stories, this extraordinary statement may explain what went wrong later. It seems to condone the production of second-rate art out of political motivation. It is not clear why it would not be possible, desirable or fair to create the most beautiful poems, then teach people to read them, rather than to patronize one's audience with unsubtle and unsophisticated work.
Apparently as a result of this misguided conviction, Alice Walker's later stories do not bear out the promise of her earlier ones. Perhaps her concentration over the past decade on the novel rather than the short story has been a wise decision. But it would be a pity to think that she would not again produce short narratives like "The Revenge of Hannah Kemhuff".

New Orleans, LA (PRWEB) November 14, 2013
The liver, the body's largest internal organ and the only organ capable of healing and rebuilding itself, plays a vital role in controlling blood sugar, producing bile to eliminate dangerous toxins in the body, supporting the digestive system and regulating fat storage. While the liver stores many essential vitamins, it also serves as a storage site for excess fat. Excess fat and bile can cause the liver to become overworked and sluggish and can result in unwanted weight gain and weight loss plateaus.
Cleansing the liver of excess toxins with Diet Doc's newly formulated Detox Formula supports healthy liver function by cleansing this vital organ, resulting in the liver functioning more efficiently and overall improved general health. The two main ingredients in Detox Formula, Silybum marianum and Glutathione, work in collaboration to increase the liver's ability to detoxify the blood and eliminate waste.
To ensure that patients receive the safest and most effective diet products available on today's market, Diet Doc's prescription diet products are developed in their own United States based fully licensed pharmacies and are not available through any other retailer.
Many patients become discouraged while dieting because they reach a weight loss plateau. It seems that nothing they do will take off those last few pounds. At Diet Doc, board certified doctors and nutritionists guide each patient toward safely achieving their weight loss goals. Each patient's journey toward improved health is personally supervised and progress is monitored with scheduled weekly communication. This level of personal service enables the doctors to rapi

I went to a concert today. The most famous estrade conductor in Estonia, conducting a set of Charlie Chaplin film music among other things. The music was arranged for a standard orchestra by him. Also, a Broadway star and a local star were the solists.
I've gotta say it's quite good. It had two renditions of Chaplin's Smile (an instrumental, and one with solists), the other one sucked though, because the local star was no good. Also we heard the famous "Who'll buy my violets" and the Theme from Limelight. Those were quite good. As for more modern stuff, the Broadway star sang John Kander's Cabaret from Cabaret, and Jud Friedman's "Run to you" from a movie called the Bodyguard, which I haven't seen. The first half was ended with an audience sing-along of "Colonel Bogey March" from The Bridge over the river Kwai.
The second half was even better, with notable perfomances being the Theme from Marlene Dietrich's Goldne Earrings, Beautiful Wonderful Eyes from City Lights, and "This is My Song" from A countess from Hong Kong.
There was also the well sung, yet generally awful "My Heart Will Go On", from you-know-where.
And finally, finally, finally. The last song. the finale.
"Into the West" by Howard Shore and Frances Walsh
Comments pending.
The Great Dictator was Charlie Chaplins very first talking movie, and he did an amazing job. Chaplin, who plays a Jewish Baber and a Crazy Dictator, gives us quite the spoof one a serious subject. Hykel, the crazy tyrant who takes over tomania, wants to eliminate all jews (and brunettes). Through his funny sounding speeches and quite the ego, tries to evade a country, but he needs the money from a jewish man, so he becomes nice to the jewish people. The barber refuses, and from there its a roller coaster ride of laughs, and fun to watch. A great black and white classic that you should check out! :fresh:
Well, I now know that I prefer Chaplin's silent films over his work with sound. Modern Times used to sit on the bottom of my list of Chaplin films I've seen, but this has now taken its place. It's not that it's a bad film, in fact it's good, but it's not great, and that's something I've come to expect from The Tramp.
I think my biggest problem with the film is the clunky feel of the whole thing. Sometimes a drama, other times a comedy, the transitions are awkward and that makes much of the comedy hard to laugh at. Not that the film needed to be really funny. I loved A Woman of Paris and that was far from a comedy. I would have enjoyed seeing Chaplin star in a serious role. I just wish this film hadn't flip-flopped so much.
It did have its moments, such as the coin in the muffin sequence, as well as Hynkel's efforts to get Napoloni to sit in the small chair in order to appear more prominent, and as I said I enjoyed the film overall. As a message to the world around him, Chaplin did a very noble and brave job and the film should be commended for that. His speech at the end was very poignant and touching, even though it felt a tad out of place. Unfortunately the sum was not greater than its parts.
My opinion is not the majority on this film, that's for sure. As I said, it probably comes down to personal preference. I can certainly see why this film is so highly regarded. I just find Chaplin's silent comedies more appealing and enjoy them much more. Still, it was certainly worth seeing, especially if you're a Chaplin fan like myself.
My first Charlie Chaplin experience and I loved it. It has some wonderfully funny moments, beautiful performances by Charlie Chaplin, and it has one of the most incredible, powerful ending speeches I have ever heard in a movie.
I just thought it was incredible. Words can't describe how much I loved this movie.
It's going high up in my top 100.
Thanks so much Steve. Merry Christmas!
It gave me chills. I laughed at the unlaughable. Yes, there is that fairy tale false ending, which we have to read as a commonplace of the comedy genre of the time. The final speech still works. They say it was cheesy even at the time, but the force he displays when delivering it! You must see that. Naive, charming and... a bit scary.
A masterpiece. This guy Chaplin got a nerve, he made the movie with his own money, and it was released the day Hitler arrived in Paris!
Laugh at the devil, and you make him weak. Well done, Mr Chaplin. Thank you for your movie.
Chaplin's speech at the very end of this funny movie is alone worth the price of admission.

I have never had any electronic product that was so easy to set up and use. I don't share it either. I don't know what I would do without it now. If anything happened to it I would have to buy the latest version. The 7" size is perfect to take anywhere in my purse. I find a lot of people still do not know about the Kindle Fire tablet, they still think it is just a reader and it's far from it.

PLATTSBURGH - The Plattsburgh City School District has confirmed a student who attends Bailey Avenue Elementary School has been diagnosed with H1N1 influenza, marking the first reported case in Clinton County.
According to a press release issued by the Clinton County Health Department May 15, a child with a "significant underlying medical condition," tested positive for H1N1 May 14. The child is said to be recovering and "appropriate steps are being taken to identify close contacts to monitor for illness."
The child had recently traveled to a part of the state where H1N1 cases had previously been identified, the report further stated.
Federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act prohibit the school district or health department from releasing the name of the student, though, in a statement, school district James M. Short said the child is :receiving treatment and is recovering." The child had reportedly been out of school 48 hours when the announcement was made Friday.
According to the county health department, the child began experiencing "influenza-like symptoms" earlier in the week and was immediately placed on an antiviral medication in an effort to diminish the impact of the illness, which appears to have been effective.
The child was not hospitalized for the illness and no family members have since reported experiencing influenza-type illness. As of Friday, the child had not returned to school.
In his statement, Short said the New York State Education Department and the New York State Health Department no longer recommend schools be closed when a student tests positive for H1N1 influenza.
"While the district will not be adjourning our regular program, parents are always free to make their own decisions regarding their student(s) attendance," Short stated.
Over the last month the H1N1 virus had managed to spread across the country and throughout most of New York State. As more about the H1N1 strain of Type A influenza has been learned it has become apparent that for most people exposed, the illness results in mild to moderate illness.

Sculpture Traveled Campus, Finds Home in Fine Arts
By Lisa Stratton
NOV. 5, 2007--A sculpture dedicated to the memory of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. that seems to share a controversial history reflecting the era in which it was created has finally found a permanent home at the University of Wisconsin-River Falls.
Commissioned by the UWRF class of 1968, the 10-foot sculpture was created by a young professor at UWRF. Doug Johnson had been a graduate student at UW-Madison and UW-Milwaukee during the mid-Sixties and witnessed first-hand the era's the social tensions, emerging counter-culture and political strife.
Like the 1960s, Johnson says his sculpture has faced its own share of issues during its nearly 40-year spell without a permanent home at UWRF. The sculpture has called four different locations around campus home.
"It's had an interesting career, shall we say," says Johnson, who has other artworks permanently installed on campus.
A 1960 graduate of UWRF's art program, Johnson came back to River Falls in 1965 to teach and spent the next 32 years of his career as a teacher, artist and musician who was always very passionate about art and the possibility of multiple meanings conveyed by the artist and recognizing that some interpretations might be controversial.
The sculpture was first installed at Rodli Commons in 1969 after its completion.
"During the construction of the piece, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., was assassinated and the papers had thousands of quotes from his speeches. I began cutting them out and saving them, and then ended up welding some of the big phrases onto the surface," says Johnson. "The overall shape of the piece was worked out on a potter's wheel. It consists of a flattened dome circle and a cross piece across the top that suggests something in balance."
While at Rodli Commons, the heavy piece faced the whims of a few vandals, and was toppled several times. The sculpture still bears a large dent one side, evidence of a particularly rough tumble to the concrete, says Johnson.
After a few more incidents, the sculpture was moved to the courtyard of Hathorn Hall, where the office of Minority Services was then housed. Johnson's monument to Dr. King spent several tranquil years in the yard at Hathorn Hall, until it was displaced by a large cement patio added to the front of the building.
Once again, it was clear the sculpture had to move, Johnson recalls, but no clear solution was found as to the best place to put it. With no consensus on a new address, "Homage to Martin Luther King, Jr." was eventually deposited behind Central Stores building and nearly forgotten until a member of the maintenance department contacted Johnson with concerns about the abandoned piece of art.
"Doug Johnson, I believe, [provided funding] to having it restored," says Building and Grounds Supervisor Manville Kenney. "It had weathered quite a lot prior to removal [from storage]. Following that, we facilitated the project by having the concrete base installed and putting the sculpture in place."
"It has now been sandblasted and powder-coated, and looks very similar to what it did when it was new," says Johnson.
The massive sculpture has now taken up residence in the courtyard of the Kleinpell Fine Arts building, where the hundreds of students who pass by it each day can ponder the piece's physical representation of the power of diversity.
Terry Brown, dean of the UWRF College of Arts and Sciences, has an exceptional view of the sculpture's new placement, which is just outside the window of her office.
"I think it's wonderful," says Brown. "It has a message that is still relevant to us today."
UWRF Chancellor Don Betz also says that Johnson's outstanding piece has contemporary significance.
"Doug's artistry reminds us not only of Dr. King, his exceptional life and gifts, and the challenging times we faced as a nation while he was alive, but also of the values that he championed and for which he paid the ultimate price," says Betz. "It is important for us to embrace those values today: equality, inclusiveness, freedom, service and integrity. It reminds us of our unfailing obligation to take care of one another."
UWRF's art department plans to have a reception for the sculpture this coming spring.
"The art department is always excited to have more artwork displayed on campus," says Susan Zimmer, academic department associate. "I was fortunate to work with Doug Johnson before he retired, and have a great deal of respect for his contributions to the university and the community. The department is committed to the goal of inclusiveness, and find this to be a wonderful opportunity to continue to work in that direction."
Johnson received a B.A. degree in education from UWRF in 1960 and a master's degrees in art education from UW-Milwaukee and ceramics and glass from UW-Madison. Johnson began the nationally renowned glassblowing program at UWRF in 1967. In 1997, he retired from UWRF.
In addition to being an active performing and recording musician and exhibiting artist, in his retirement he has worked with numerous community organizations including the art program at the Renaissance Academy and the River Falls Community Arts Base, Art on the Kinni, Music in the Park and Relay for Life and others. Johnson and his wife, Margel, are also active with the Democratic Party in western Wisconsin.

I've always been a pretty ambitious person. I don't like ceilings or limits. Like the adventurous Star Trekers, "I want to go where no man has gone before." I love thinking and dreaming about doing great things, about being a part of something great, something world-changing-and I've always felt guilty about this.
I have always wrestled with my motives and why I want to do great things. My struggle has always been how to discern the difference in my own heart between selfish ambition and God-centered drive. And to err on the safe side, I have at times tended to reduce the size of my dreams and lower my expectations. Under the banner of trying to be humble, I settle for less.
I suppose I'll struggle with this tension for the rest of my fallen life in this broken world but now I'll have a new tool in my toolbox to help me sort through these things in a gospel-centered way.
Dave Harvey (Sovereign Grace Ministries) has written a book entitled Rescuing Ambition which comes out this Spring. The publishers description captured me immediately:
Ambition has developed a reputation synonymous with the love of earthly honor and fame hunting. As a result, the organ of ambition—the God-implanted drive to improve, produce, develop, and create—is neglected and well on its way to paralysis. For some Christians, dreams are numbed. For others, there are no dreams; life just happens. One thing is certain: ambition needs help.
Dave Harvey is calling for a rescue. He wants to snatch ambition from the heap of failed motivations and put it to work for the glory of God. To understand our ambition, we must understand that we are on a quest for glory. Where we find glory determines the success of our quest. With his transparent humor and conversational tone, Harvey expounds on insights from Scripture and everyday life as he calls readers to reach further and dream bigger for the glory of God.
I can't wait to read this!

Good Zoo Master Naturalists conducting Monarch Research
Monarch butterfly populations are plummeting nationwide, and a federal petition was filed yesterday by environmental groups, urging the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to protect them under the Endangered Species Act. Good Zoo director Penny Miller said zoo staff and zoo Master Naturalists are part of a project to study the decline, and to create more milkweed habitat to support the butterflies. Good Zoo Master Naturalists study, rear, tag and release monarchs prior to their migration to Mexico for the winter; they also raise and plant several species of milkweed in home gardens, local farms, and in locations throughout Oglebay Resort including golf courses, the Good Zoo, resort gardens and at the Schrader Center.
Any area residents interested in learning more about the monarch project and many other citizen scientist projects can attend Master Naturalist classes that begin September 6, 2014. Classes cost just $6 per hour of instruction and under $400 for the entire certification program; students participate at their own pace and take up to three years to complete the program, or finish in one year. The fall classes are held at the Good Zoo or West Liberty University on Saturdays and Sundays. Fall classes include Terrestrial and Aquatic Habitats; Screech Owls; Insects; Dressing for the Outdoors in Winter, and more.
Classes can be taken in any order, and students can join the program by enrolling in any class.
Students are all nature lovers and represent a wide range of ages and backgrounds from college students, teachers, scout leaders, farmers, fisherman, to retired folks and nature photographers. "Anyone of any age or background fits into the group, you just have to be a nature lover," said Vickie Markey-Tekely, the zoo's curator of education.
Spring 2015 classes will include core classes by area naturalist Dr Scott Shalaway teaching WV Birds; Bill Beatty teaching Trees; Wildflowers; and Medicinal Plants. Electives taught by Good Zoo staff include WV otters; Box Turtles; Monarch Butterfly Conservation; and many more.
Master Naturalist Daniel Caron said, "The program is a fun and interesting way to learn about nature. I enjoy the program's interactive, hands-on format. The classes teach me to see something different every time I step outside."
Students conduct 16 hours of volunteer work on nature projects of their own choosing in order to become certified. "Our students participate in backyard bird projects, put up bluebird boxes, survey and report frog calls, raise and tag monarch butterflies, and improve their garden and property to attract wildlife," said Penny Miller, zoo director. "Others like to help out at state or zoo wildlife events, or pass on their knowledge to children," she said. "I enjoy teaching my grandkids and neighbors about the monarch butterflies I rear and tag," said certified Master Naturalist Carol Saseen.
The curriculum was developed by the West Virginia Division of Wildlife to develop citizen scientists and naturalists across the state. Students from Ohio and Pennsylvania are welcome to participate also.
Those interested in learning more can visit the www.oglebay-resort.com/goodzoo or by calling Vickie Markey-Tekely at 304-243-4033 or Penny Miller at 304-243-4027.

Dedicated Staff and Classic Menu at The Grill at Speidel Golf Club keep Golfers Coming Back
Not only does The Grill at the Hamm Clubhouse at the Speidel Golf Club offer a great view overlooking the 18th green of the Jones Course, it also offers delicious sandwiches, appetizers and legal beverages with a smile.
Brandon Ernest is one of Oglebay's dedicated staff at The Grill. Ernest has been working at the Speidel Golf Club for 12 years, and about five years ago Brandon was asked by one of the golf club managers to help out in The Grill on a particularly busy day. Brandon never left The Grill and now serves the classics, plus a few other surprises, to his loyal customers.
"I like to cook and spend my spare time experimenting in the kitchen," said Ernest. "I love my customers and they appreciate it when I make something special for them. We have golf groups that come in from Canada every year and I am so proud when they ask for me."
One of Brandon's customer favorites – a fried bologna and fried egg sandwich – grew so popular that it was added to this year's menu as the "Brandini."
Rico Coville, Director of Golf and Skiing, said he encourages his staff to go above and beyond for each and every customer. "I appreciate Brandon's initiative and creativity," said Coville. "Our tremendous staff is one of the reasons golfers come back year after year," said Coville.
"Of course, the two championship golf courses give golfers a good reason to return," added Coville. Coville also added that both the Robert Trent Jones, Sr. designed course and the Arnold Palmer designed courses are in great shape for the middle of the summer.
During golf season The Grill is open daily 7 am until dusk. The Grill is also open during the Winter Festival of Lights when the Pro Shop transforms into the Christmas Shop. This year's Festival of Lights runs November 14, 2014 through January 4, 2015.
A golf e-newsletter with golf specials and updates is sent out weekly during the season. For more information on the Speidel Golf Club and to sign up for the golf e-newsletter visit www.oglebay-resort.com/golf

"When Proteus falls in love with his best friend's girlfriend, the guys find themselves between the bonds of male friendship and romance."
Written as early as 1590-91, Two Gentlemen of Verona has been debated to be Shakespeare's first play. The cast includes Woody Pond, Brendan Sheehan, Cassandra Hackbart, Karissa Martin, Nate Foster, Vince Marshall, Josh Fromhart, Justin Swoyer, Dana Applegate, Liz Richter and Isa Campbell.
The Independent Theatre Collective is a Wheeling-based, non-profit theatre company that has consistently produced new, original work in New York City's Theatre District, most recently the co-written ten-minute play, Changing Game by Jeremy F Richter and Ron Scott, Jr. It is ITC's mission to embrace, encourage and create opportunities for development and change within its physical and artistic communities through collaborative partnerships.
Additional entertainment in the Thursday Artist Series at the Oglebay amphitheater include The De'ja'vu Band on July 3, Deni Bonet on July 17, and the Beatles tribute band A Hard Day's Night on July 31.

Memorial Day Weekend Celebration at Oglebay
The Memorial Day Weekend marks the start of summer activities at Oglebay and John Hargleroad, Director of Operations, says that all the Oglebay facilities will be open beginning Friday, May 23 with some special activities planned for the Memorial Day weekend.
"The always-popular inflatable rides will be at the Schenk Lake area on Saturday, Sunday and Monday from 1:00 to 5:00 p.m. and Doozy the Clown will also be at the lake area all three days from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m.," said Hargleroad.

"The special ceremony will be conducted by American Legion Post #1 and the public is encouraged to bring US flags that are no longer serviceable to the ceremony," said Hargleroad. The American Legion will ensure that the flags are properly disposed of with honor at a later date.
"It is interesting to note that American Legion Post #1 in Wheeling was the first American Legion Post established in the United States," added Hargleroad. The Post was established by an act of congress in 1919.
The Memorial Day Weekend is also a great time to catch up with old friends at the Good Zoo and check out what's new including the Dinosaur exhibit with all-new dinosaurs. "These lifelike dinosaurs are fitted with electric brains so they move and roar," said Penny Miller, Director of the Good Zoo. Miller said most of the dinosaurs can be discovered in the woods near the Australian Exhibit but a couple of the dinosaurs are located in other areas of the zoo.
"The Edmontonia has claimed the top of the wetlands waterfall as his prehistoric perch for the summer and the Suchomimus is located in the Wetlands," added Miller. For a close up view of the Edmontonia Miller suggested a train ride but the creature can be seen and heard from the Wetlands.
The zoo is also accepting entries for the third annual "Capture the Wild" photography contest. "We have had a great response to our photography contests and are looking forward to this year's entries," said Miller. "We'll be awarding some great prizes!" Contest rules and entry forms are available on the zoo's website.
Miller also added that the zoo's Animal Encounters programs are getting more and more popular. "This program allows guests to get into animal exhibits with the keepers to help feed and train some of the zoo's animals including the lemurs, red pandas, river otters and kangaroos." said Miller. The encounters must be scheduled in advance by calling 304-243-4030.
The Good Zoo is open daily at 10 am. Admission is $9.00 for adults, $5.75 for ages 3-12, and ages 2 & under and members are free.
The popular Segway Tours have also returned for another season. "Join our friendly guides for an exciting tour on a high tech personal transporter," said Hargleroad.

The tours begin at Schenk Lake at 10:00 a.m., 12:00 p.m., 2:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. Reservations for Segway Tours can be made by calling 304-243-4090.
The Hit Play Band will present a free concert at the Anne Kuchinka Amphitheater on Sunday from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. "This performance is the beginning of the Summer Sunday Entertainment Series featuring a different band every Sunday through Labor Day at the amphitheater," added Hargleroad. The entire summer's schedule is available on the Oglebay website.
"For those who want to celebrate the weekend with an all-American picnic, many beautiful picnic sites are available at Oglebay and can be reserved by calling 304-243-4010," added Hargleroad.

USPTA's Tennis Across America Set for May 17 at Oglebay
The Oglebay Tennis Complex will be part of the nation's biggest tennis event in May that will involve thousands of players hitting countless tennis balls, according to Jeremy McClelland, director of tennis for the Wheeling Park Commission.
The annual Tennis Across America program is sponsored by the United States Professional Tennis Association. "Tennis Across America is a perfect way to kick start getting fit and learning a new sport," said McClelland. "Tennis is a fitness activity for the entire family. Best of all, Tennis Across America is free! Racquets will be provided for use during TAA to those who do not have them."
Beginners and advanced players, both juniors and adults, as well as those who have never played tennis before, are invited to Oglebay on Saturday, May 17, 2014, beginning at 12:00 p.m. to participate in the nationwide event.
Activities will include adult and junior clinics, introduction to cardio tennis, and 10 and Under Tennis. Making use of all 10 clay courts at the Oglebay Resort is the goal of McClelland. "Getting people on the tennis court is my primary goal," said McClelland. "If they are there and have fun, they will want to come back."
According to "Youth Tennis," "Tennis is fun for kids of all ages and levels; with a minimum risk of injury, the sport provides many social, health, and psychological benefits."
The beginner adult and junior clinics will introduce basic components of the game: grip, forehand, backhand, volley, overhead, and serve. While beginners are assisted in getting started with the sport, experienced players will be on other courts playing points.
Cardio Tennis Cardio Tennis is a fun group activity for anyone at any playing level looking for an exciting way to burn calories and interact with others outside of the gym.
Cardio Tennis is a high energy fitness activity that combines the best features of the sport of tennis with cardiovascular exercise, delivering the ultimate, full body, calorie burning aerobic workout.
QuickStart and 10 and Under Tennis provide the chance for kids to learn tennis and have real fun doing it. These programs use racquets, balls, and courts that are sized for kids so that they enjoy the game right from the start.
"Kid-sized equipment and courts, and balls that don't bounce over their heads, give kids the advantage they need to learn to play tennis," said McClelland. "Age-appropriate lessons make sure that kids are successful."
McClelland said the cooperative, no-pressure, learn-to-compete approach is key. "A play-to-learn approach emphasizes the development of motor skills and a progression to teach racquet skills. Spontaneous, creative play is incorporated with the concept of "Kids first. Tennis second."
With various activities planned, the USPTA and McClelland hope to get the tri-state area excited about tennis: "In recent years the number of players on the courts has dropped, but programs like this give me the chance to draw people to the sport I love," added McClelland.
Established in 1990 by the USPTA, Tennis Across America is the original, free, grassroots lesson program. For additional information, contact McClelland at the Oglebay Tennis Shop at 304-243-4040.
All New Dinosaurs Invade the Good Zoo
An all-new display of lifelike dinosaurs has arrived at the Good Zoo and will greet zoo visitors throughout the summer. "The dinosaurs are fitted with an electric brain so they move and roar," said Penny Miller, Director of the Good Zoo. The dinosaurs at the Good Zoo this summer include a Stegosaurus, Edmontonia, Suchomimus, Amargasaurus and her baby and others. There is also a T-Rex that is non-robotic so visitors can sit on it and take their photo or video, but all other dinosaurs are robotic and move and roar.
Although most of the dinosaurs can be discovered in the woods near the Australian Exhibit a couple of the dinosaurs are located in other areas of the zoo.
"The Edmontonia has claimed the top of the wetlands waterfall as his prehistoric perch for the summer and the Suchomimus is located in the Wetlands," added Miller. For a close up view of the Edmontonia Miller suggested a train ride but the creature can be seen and heard from the Wetlands.
The Stegosaurus is painted in a unique color design that was created by Jillian Davis of Bethlehem. "Jillian was the winner of our Design your own Stegosaurus Contest held earlier this year," said Miller.
Miller said the entire zoo staff has been working with a paleontologist. "The staff is well-versed on the dinosaurs that are currently on exhibit and are prepared to pass on this information to all visitors," said Miller. Paleontologists continue to find new dig sites and new dinosaur species, and advanced tools and new discoveries have led to new conclusions about dinosaurs. "Museums have had to change exhibits numerous times as paleontology forms a more accurate picture of dinosaurs," said Miller.
Several special events and summer camps are planned at the Good Zoo this summer including a visit from "Dr. Dino" on July 12 and July 13. "The 'Dr Dino' events will allow visitors to touch real dinosaur bones and learn from an expert dinosaur hunter," added Miller.
The zoo is currently open daily from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Admission to the Good Zoo is $9.00 for adults; $5.75 for children ages 3-12; and Good Zoo members and ages 2 and under are admitted free. Lorikeet Landing and the train ride are open Saturday and Sunday from 10:30 am to 3:30 pm, weather permitting. The train ride is $2.25 per person and a cup of nectar to feed to the lorikeets is $1.00. Additional information on the Good Zoo can be found at www.oglebay-resort.com/goodzoo, including dinosaur-themed summer camps. The dinosaurs go extinct on Labor Day.
The dinosaurs are from Billings Productions, North America's leading provider of life-size animatronic dinosaurs for zoos, museums and theme parks. According to their website at www.billingsproductions.com, the company aims to encourage discovery and create awareness of prehistoric life in both young and old by making learning fun and entertaining.
Master Naturalist Classes at the Good Zoo
Any area residents interested in learning more about birds, trees, wildflower identification, and all manner of other nature topics can sign up now for Master Naturalist classes beginning Saturday, February 22 at the Good Zoo and scheduled through mid May. Local columnist Dr Scott Shalaway will teach WV Birds. The four hour class discusses bird biology, identification and back-yard feeding. Popular returning instructor Dr Zac Loughman from West Liberty University will also teach that day, offering General Ecology, an introductory class to the Master Naturalist program. Names and Identification will be taught March 22 by zoo director Penny Miller, instructing students how to use field guides, internet resources, keys, and other resources to identify plants and animals seen in nature. Other spring classes include Creating Backyard Habitats March 2nd by Dr Candy DeBerry, and three additional classes taught by Loughman: Terrestrial Habitats; Aquatic Habitats; and Wetlands Habitats. Local expert Bill Beatty will teach Wildflowers and Weeds, and Trees, Shrubs and Woody Vines. The first elective class A Tiny Tick Made Me Sick is about avoiding everything from poison ivy rashes, to snake bite while in the woods, taught by Penny Miller.
Students can pick and choose classes at their own pace and may take up to three years to complete the program, but it is possible to finish in one year. Classes cost just $6 per hour of instruction. Classes are held at the zoo on Saturdays and Sundays and often involve walks in the woods and occasional field trips to a farm pasture, wetlands or streams. The curriculum was developed by the West Virginia Division of Wildlife to develop citizen scientists and naturalists across the state.
There are 14 required classes such as Mammals; Trees; Wildflowers; Backyard Habitat Improvement, Insects, and 10 others, and a variety of electives to choose from including Box turtles; CSI: Citizen Science Investigator; Monarch Butterflies; Nature Photography; Invasive Species, and many more. Instructors include Good Zoo staff, West Virginia Division of Wildlife biologists and area college professors. Students are all nature lovers and represent a wide range of ages and backgrounds from college students, teachers, scout leaders, farmers, fisherman, to retired folks and nature photographers.
"Anyone of any age or background fits into the group, you just have to be a nature lover," said Vickie Markey-Tekely, the zoo's curator of education.
Student Daniel Caron said, "The program is a fun and interesting way to learn about nature. I enjoy the program's interactive, hands-on format. The classes teach me to see something different every time I step outside. This has helped me when working in my own backyard and everywhere I travel."
"This is our 11th year, and many of our students participate in several backyard bird projects, put up bluebird boxes, survey and report frog calls, raise and tag monarch butterflies, and improve their garden and property to attract wildlife," said Penny Miller, zoo director. Others like to help out at state or zoo wildlife events, or pass on their knowledge to children. "I enjoy teaching my grandkids and neighbors about the monarch butterflies I rear and tag," said certified Master Naturalist Carol Saseen.
For dates, times, and an application please visit the Master Naturalist section at www.oglebay-resort.com/goodzoo or call Vickie Markey-Tekely at 304-243-4033 or Penny Miller at 304-243-4027.
Oglebay Welcomes New Director of Tennis
Jeremy McClelland has been appointed as Director of Tennis for the Wheeling Park Commission. "We are very happy to have a tennis professional with Jeremy's ties to the local community, plus his experience and reputation, and we share Jeremy's excitement about the future of tennis at Oglebay and Wheeling Park," said Doug Dalby, President and CEO for the Wheeling Park Commission. "The addition of Jeremy will greatly enhance the opportunities for the public to enjoy tennis programs at both parks."
McClelland has 20 years of tennis experience in both training and competing including the 2011 USTA Men's National Indoor Doubles Champion, the 2011 Gordon Biersch Classic Men's Open Singles Champion and the 2011 John V. Schultz Men's Open Singles and Doubles Champion. He is a five-time West Virginia Open Men's Single Champion and three-time Men's Double Champion. McClelland is a graduate of Wheeling Park High School and a 2012 inductee to the Wheeling Park High School's Athletic Hall of Fame. He was the West Virginia AAA State Champion in 2006 in both Singles and Doubles and a member of the WV All-State Team in 2005 and 2006. McClelland was a member of the Duquesne University Tennis Team from 2006 through 2010 and was the Team Captain, MVP and First Atlantic 10 All-Conference from 2008 until his graduation in 2010. He concluded his college career with 143 wins, second most in Duquesne history.
McClelland's training experience includes private lessons and group clinics at the Pennsylvania Tennis Academy in Wexford, PA, The Club in Monroeville, PA, and Mt. Lebanon Tennis in Mt. Lebanon, PA. He also spent three summers as an instructor at Andy Findlay's Intense Tennis Camp.
McClelland is a member of the United States Tennis Association (USTA), the Professional Tennis Registry (PTR) and the United States Professional Tennis Association (USPTA) and he plans to build a solid junior program. "Like anything else, in tennis you need a strong base to have a successful program," said McClelland. "Focusing on the complete development of juniors from an early age until the collegiate or professional level is essential."
"The knowledge I have gained from playing up through the professional level and coaching up through D1 college tennis has given me the skills I need to develop all types of tennis players. Whether you are a beginner or an advanced player, I feel I have something to offer. Tennis is physical, mental, and a lot of other things in between, and I love sharing the knowledge I have absorbed." McClelland said.
"I know how important a coach is in every player's life. This is a relationship that is very fragile but can be one of the strongest bonds. I am so thankful that I had such great coaches growing up and great employers who really made me understand every aspect of this sport," added McClelland.
McClelland will not only be adding new opportunities to the tennis program but will continue with past programs such as Ladies' Day and Men's Night for adults. "I am looking forward to continuing these clinics and working with adults in both competitive and drill oriented classes," said McClelland.
Adult and junior classes will run primarily through the week. Junior classes will be held after school while Ladies' Day and Men's Night will be held once per week. Other junior and adult classes will be made available.
Returning to his hometown to build a program of his own is something very special to McClelland. "I am very excited to return home to help this program that was an anchor for my junior career. I have had great support from so many people in this community over the years and I am happy to be in a position to give something back to Wheeling," said McClelland.
Winter Festival of Lights at Oglebay Still Going Strong After 28 Years
One of America's largest holiday light shows, the Winter Festival of Lights at Oglebay in Wheeling, West Virginia, will begin November 8, 2013 and continue through January 5, 2014. This holiday tradition began in 1985 with just five light displays and landscape lighting covering about 125 acres over a three-mile drive throughout the resort. Since then, the show has grown into one of the nation's largest light shows, covering more than three hundred acres over a six-mile drive throughout the resort. Eighty larger-than-life light displays are now part of this glowing show including the new Christmas Tree Farm display.
Five years ago, the Winter Festival of Lights entered a new "green" era with the commitment to use energy-efficient LED lights in all new displays and to begin converting all existing displays to LED.
LED lights use 85% less energy than traditional bulbs and last five times longer. "We want to ensure that the Winter Festival of Lights will be glowing for many more years!" said Caren Knoyer, marketing director. "For example, the animated Rocking Horse Display was first added to the Festival of Lights in 1992, using 85 amps of electricity with traditional light bulbs. Now that the display has been updated with vibrant LED lights and it uses just 12 amps of electricity."
Every year new displays are added and the placement of the existing displays change to keep the show fresh. Christmas Tree Farm, one of this year's new displays, was the winner of last year's Festival of Lights New Idea Contest. "The winning entry was from 7th grader Madison Zoladz," added Knoyer. "Madison said she was inspired by the number of cars she saw during the holiday season carrying Christmas trees." This year's other new displays are Woodpeckers and Leaping Frog, and the Oglebay Village has been expanded.
The popular Light and Music Extravaganza returns to the Good Zoo again this year. The Light and Music Extravaganza takes place nightly on the zoo patio with more than 35,500 LED lights choreographed to exciting holiday music. The zoo at Oglebay will also have their annual holiday model train display at the state's largest O-Gauge Model Train Exhibit and holiday laser shows at the zoo's Benedum Theater. Admission to the zoo is $9.00 for adults and $5.75 for children ages 3-12, and this admission includes the Light and Music Extravaganza on the zoo's patio.
The Gardens of Light is located in the Oglebay hilltop and gardens area, and features 150 hanging baskets of light plus thousands of lighted flowers, trees and shrubs, combined with distinctive holiday music. Knoyer said that the best way to enjoy the Gardens of Light is to take a stroll along the brick path that leads from Carriage House Glass to the Mansion Museum.
Carriage House Glass, the first stop on the Gardens of Light tour, features a large selection of decorative glass and other collectibles. Carriage House Glass is also home to the sparkling Oglebay Institute Glass Museum featuring an extensive collection of West Virginia glass and glassblowing demonstrations. The Gardens of Light continues next door to the Visitors' Center and the Farmhouse Sweets and Treats Shoppe. "This shop features a very large selection of chocolates, plus other candy and regionally produced food products," said Knoyer. "Custom gift baskets are also available at Farmhouse Sweets and Treats." Just outside the Visitors' Center lies the magical Christmas Tree Garden. Introduced in 2003, the Christmas Tree Garden consists of 30 live trees decorated with various colored lights. Situated in the center of the Christmas Tree Garden is the Nativity Display. The life-size Nativity was designed and created by a local artist, and has been a much-loved display at the Winter Festival of Lights since 1985.
The red brick walking path leads from the Christmas Tree Garden to the Greenhouse, Palm Room and Garden Center Gift Shop, where visitors can find live holiday flowers, garden gifts and silk floral arrangements. The final stop on the Gardens of Light tour is the Mansion Museum. The Mansion is the former summer home of the Oglebay family and is elegantly decorated for the holidays.
The 271-room Wilson Lodge at Oglebay offers special overnight packages during the Winter Festival of Lights. Many changes have taken place at the lodge over the years but it is still the centerpiece of Oglebay. It is festively decorated, inside and out, and bustles with activity including children's events, delicious holiday dining, cordial gatherings and live musical entertainment.
There is plenty to do and see at Oglebay while waiting for the lights to come on. The Ihlenfeld Dining Room at Wilson Lodge offers a popular holiday buffet nightly and the family-friendly Glass Works Grill at the lodge is open daily for lunch and dinner. The Winter Festival of Lights is also a special time at all of the Oglebay specialty shops. In addition to the Carriage House Glass, Farmhouse Sweets & Treats, Palm Room and Garden Center shops in the Gardens of Light area, the Resort Shop and West Spa Boutique at Wilson Lodge, Nature Express at the Good Zoo, and the Christmas Shop at the Speidel Golf Club are all fully stocked for the holiday season. The Christmas Shop is open only during the Festival of Lights and offers a large selection of one-of-a-kind decorations, ornaments and holiday collectibles. Gift cards are available at all shops, at the Visitors Center and online at Oglebay's website.
The Winter Festival of Lights is viewable Sunday through Thursday until 10:00 p.m. and on Friday and Saturday until 11:00 p.m. There is no admission to the Festival but a per car donation is requested and is valid for the entire festival season. Visitors making a $25.00 donation will receive a DVD of the Festival of Lights and Oglebay story.
Knoyer said that visitors who prefer a guided, narrated tour through the light show, will enjoy one of the trolley tours that are offered several times each night beginning at Wilson Lodge. "We also have a new mobile app for iPhones this year," added Knoyer. "This free app, available in the Apple App Store, has detailed information about each display and also includes photos, maps, and audio and video about the Festival of Lights."
The Winter Festival of Lights was listed as one of the 10 Best Christmas Light Displays in the US according to AOL Travel and has been featured on the Travel Channel's "Most Extreme Christmas Celebrations." The show is also listed on the American Bus Association's Top International Events, was named as a top 100 event by Eventcrazy.com and was recently listed as one of the top 200 events in the country by Discover America.
Oglebay, and the Winter Festival of Lights, is located 4 miles from I-70 at Exit 2A in Wheeling, West Virginia. The resort is 60 miles from Pittsburgh via I-79 south and I-70 west; 120 miles from Columbus via I-70 east; and 150 miles from Cleveland via I-77 south and I-70 east.

'Keep Rizal Park free of garbage'
Don't bury Jose Rizal under a huge pile of trash.
The National Parks Development Committee (NPDC) has appealed to visitors of Rizal Park in Manila to dispose of their garbage properly after the estimated 500,000 people who visited on Christmas Day left 50 truckloads of trash.
Four million people are expected to go to the park to mark the beginning of 2013.
"We are appealing to our countrymen this coming New Year's celebration to bring their own trash bags or be responsible and maintain the cleanliness of Rizal Park," Kenneth Montegrande, NPDC spokesperson, said yesterday.
He added that a day after Dec. 25, the NPDC collected around 50 trucks of garbage "that was left by 500,000 park goers on Christmas Day."
"Families who come to visit could bring their own trash bag or dispose of their garbage properly. In our experience, park goers just leave their trash wherever they want," Montegrande said.
"Although we have many sweepers and park attendants, park goers should still throw their trash in our trash bins or bring them home for proper disposal," he added.
According to Montegrande, the NPDC under Executive Director Juliet Villegas expects a 100 percent increase in the number of people who will spend New Year's Eve at the park compared to last year's two million.
"We expect to double that because we have new attractions and our events are free. We will also have a bigger fireworks display than last year. The city government of Manila has also agreed to join our New Year countdown," he said.
"Even foreign tourists visit. We've even been called the Times Square of Southeast Asia," he added.
Montegrande said around 300 policemen, security guards and volunteers would be deployed at the park to ensure that the holiday celebrations were peaceful.
"We also have our CCTV (closed circuit television) cameras in place. In fact, we did not have any crime reported during Christmas Day. We only had 96 children who were separated from their family," he said.
Montegrande added that parents who lose their children should go to the Aguinaldo House on Ma. Orosa Street.
"We have our command center there. So parents who will bring along their children should write down their name, address and cell phone number and put this on their bracelets or pocket so that they could be easily located," he said.

The Dailey MethodRead MoreJill Dailey McIntosh has always been intrigued by the human body and how it moves?so much so that she graduated in 1991 with a kinesiology degree and soon thereafter decided to open her own Pilates teaching studio. But it wasn't until years later that this curiosity would manifest itself in a single question: "How can one aggressively transform the shape of their body while still maintaining proper alignment of the spine?" Eventually Jill began to examine her diverse fitness background, pulling low-impact movements from ballet, Pilates, and even orthopedic-exercise routines to create the basis for her fitness style, The Dailey Method. Now, more than a decade later, Dailey's fitness routine has ballooned into studios sprawled across more than 10 states and gained praise from Self, Allure, FitPregnancy, and InStyle magazines. Regardless of the location, instructors remain true to Jill's mission of offering a diverse series of exercises that focus on toning and lengthening the body while lengthening the spine and building strong core muscles.121 Spear StSan Francisco, CA US
Third Street BoxingRead MorePaul Wade, a Golden Gloves champion and experienced trainer, founded Third Street Boxing Gym in 2001 to pay homage to San Francisco's pugilistic past by training the city's next generation of great fighters. The facility's concrete walls, iron piping, and low ceilings host a family of aspiring amateurs and local professionals as they train in the authentic, old-school boxing gym's two full-size rings or prepare for the ring with the gym's speed bags, uppercut bags, heavy bags, treadmills or free weights. Burgeoning boxers learn fundamentals such as hand wrapping, the basic stance, and simple punches during beginner classes, before taking newfound skills to group cardio boxing sessions—taught by current or former Golden Gloves champions—that put patrons through an intense, all-body workout in one hour. Four-week boxing boot camps put sweet science practitioners of all skill levels through a rigorous training regimen focused on cardiovascular exercises, strength training. After completing boxing boot camp, participants may feel equipped to tackle their first amateur bout during 3rd Street's Friday Night Fights events.2576 3rd StreetSan Francisco, CA US
Funky Door Yoga Polk StreetRead MoreAfter walking through the studio's namesake entryway, visitors to Funky Door Yoga Polk Street are greeted by the grunts of Bikram practitioners carried on waves of steamy heat. The stretch dojo's seven-day schedule boasts early-morning, afternoon, and evening classes that take place in a classroom stoked to up to 105 degrees, the perfect temperature for facilitating flexibility or melting a corporate rival's ice statue in effigy. Students run through Bikram Choudhury's 26 poses that pique muscles, organs, veins, and ligaments while the sweltering heat flushes toxins from the body. After a 90-minute session, students can hop into one of Funky Door Yoga Polk Street's showers, or down a bottle of water or sports drink available for purchase. The studio also stocks rentable mats and towels for greenhorn yogis not quite experienced enough to levitate. The bright studio helps students fine-tune posework with wall-to-wall mirrors, and the expansive floor space affords enough space to execute even the most complex poses. Two nearby parking lots and metered parking afford convenient parking for car-toting students.1336 Polk St.San Francisco, CA US
Cbetts FitnessRead MoreAfter a college career playing Division I soccer and earning a BA in sports sciences from the University of the Pacific, Catherine Betts developed a passion for proper physical fitness that she shares with her clients. During an internship at Athletes Performance, a premier professional conditioning facility, Betts worked with both the men's and women's U.S. national soccer teams, as well as athletes from professional leagues including the NBA, NFL, and Justice League. The experienced fitness guide adapts her individual and group workouts to the specific conditioning needs of seasoned sportspeople and casual exercisers alike. Trainees learn how to manage body weight and engage in corrective exercises through progressive programs that work into existing routines. Workouts take place at a variety of gyms and outdoor locations, including Marina Green Park and the Lyon Street steps. Betts often tailors personal-training sessions to aid in wedding preparations, maternity fitness, or productions of Pinocchio staged with TRX suspension equipment.3101 Gough StSan Francisco, CA US
START FitnessRead MoreMost people attend boot camps to lose weight, not to get strong enough to fight the Taliban. But that's just how START Fitness founder Sgt. Ken Weichert got his start. The veteran of Operations Desert Storm and Iraqi Freedom and six-time Soldier of the Year is also a certified Army Master Fitness Trainer who pushes combat troops to reach the military's fitness standards in basic training?that is, actual boot camp. In START Fitness's weekday morning boot camps, seasoned instructors personally trained by Sgt. Weichert help everyday athletes lose weight, build muscle, and forge healthier lifestyles. They lead the camps which alternate between indoor and outdoor activity, calling on more than 100 lessons that constantly change up the workout to keep bodies guessing. The classes are designed for students who are already somewhat active, as they are intended to sculpt and tone as students go through obstacle courses, do push-ups, complete partner-assisted exercises, and run up to five miles without tiring or requiring a treat and an ear scratch after each task.1625 Bush St.San Francisco, CA US
Green Chiropractic ClinicRead MoreUnder the guidance of Doctor of Chiropractic Jacob Sahourieh, Green Chiropractic Clinic's therapists alleviate pains and heal injuries with wellness programs that target the whole body rather than its isolated parts. Personalized programs may include services that range from spinal adjustments to relaxing massages that untie muscular knots with long, gliding strokes. Therapists practice their craft within the soothing confines of the clinic's private treatment rooms, where the soft glow of dimmed lights joins with the comforting sounds of waves crashing against mashed potatoes to create a cross-sensory experience of relaxation. Green Chiropractic Clinic's whole-person approach is never more apparent than during treatments with Dr. Sahourieh, whose experience tending to backs and Bay Bridges with bad posture gives him insight into the underlying causes of discomfort. His holistic approach to health also informs the clinic's eco-friendly practices, which include paperless operations and conserving resources when possible.1406 Valencia StSan Francisco, CA US

HOUSTON They re lightweight, convenient and in homes across America. But are wire, pop-up hampers hiding a hazard that could change your life forever?
The KHOU 11 News I-Team has uncovered what some call a troubling trend of people reporting they were seriously injured by the hampers.
Patsy Williams had no idea of the risk.
The busy mother of four hoped the pop-up laundry hamper she planned to put in her son s room would make her life easier.
Williams says the hamper was life-changing, just not in the way she expected.
I just dropped everything, she recalled. Went to my knees, holding my face.
Williams says as she opened the packaging to remove the hamper when it happened.
It just sprung up, and when it sprung up it sprung out, Williams said. I saw it come up but I couldn't stop it because it was so fast.
She says a 10-inch piece of metal from the hamper s frame ripped through the fabric, then ripped through her right eye.
Cut straight through, all the way to the back, said Williams. All the way through the eye.
The horror is familiar to 11-year-old Keon Reeves.
I just pray to God I can see out of the eye, said Reeves.
His eyeball was also slashed by the wire frame of a pop-up hamper.
I was putting clothes in the basket and it popped out, like real fast, Reeves said.
Houston attorney Benny Agosto demonstrated the danger.
He represented Williams in her lawsuit against the makers of her hamper.
Agosto says part of the problem lies with the way the hamper pops up.
When you see a thin piece of nylon that can shred and this wire is under pressure, pushing against that nylon, then we're causing a hazard, explained Agosto.
A hazard like the one 23-month-old Jeniah Peete encountered.
A wire from her kids -themed hamper tore through its fabric and damaged her eye.
Dr. Iris Kassem treated both the toddler and Reeves.
When I first saw Jeniah I thought Wow, this is a freak accident. What bad luck she has, said Kassem. Then Keon comes in and a light bulb immediately went off and I said, Oh no. I think this is a pattern.
In fact, the 11 News I-Team found since 2009, at least five people across the United States reported being seriously hurt by the hampers.
The fact that there's four or five or half a dozen folks that have reported injuries, that's five or six too many, said Agosto.
The reports prompted consumer advocate Ami Gadhia, of Consumer s Union, to call the hampers emerging hazards.
Given the number of these types of products in people's homes, I think it's entirely possible there are more stories out there like this, Gadhia told the I-Team.
Williams injuries were so severe she lost her right eye.
Ain't worth it, she said shaking her head. It's not.
Williams is now calling on the government and manufacturers to make the pop-up hampers safer.
She s particularly troubled by the stories of children whose lives may be changed forever.
I look at it like this, began Williams. If it was your child what would you do? What would you do?
The I-Team made repeated attempts to contact the owner of Household Essentials which bought Whitney Design, the maker of Williams' hamper. James Glenn has not returned our calls seeking comment.
A spokesman for the Consumer Product Safety Commission told the I-Team that the agency is looking into injury reports involving the hampers, trying to determine if an investigation into the safety of the product is warranted.
If you have been injured by a pop-up hamper or any other product you can report it to the CPSC by clicking here.

|Cellular behaviors regulating tangential migration of facial branchiomotor neurons in the zebrafish embryo
|Sawant, Anagha
|University of Missouri--Columbia
|Development of the nervous system is characterized by intricate processes like neuronal migration, axon outgrowth and guidance and synaptic connections to their targets. These processes involve navigation of the migrating neuronsoraxonal growth cones through a complex extracellular environment in the neuron tube. Signals generated through cell-cell interactions between the migrating neurons, surrounding cells and the extracellular matrix likely play a major role in neuronal migration. We show here that transient axonal glycoprotein1 (TAG1) is necessary for the migration of the facial branchiomotor neurons (FBMNs) in the zebrafish hindbrain. We also show that TAG1 exhibits genetic interactions with the extracellular matrix protein laminin1 (LAMA1) and the transmembrane protein strabismus (STBM) to regulate FBMN migration. To gain insight into the underlying cellular mechanisms, we examined the dynamic cellular behaviors of GFP-expressing FBMNs in wild type and morphant embryos using time lapse microscopy. FBMNs in control and morphant embryos move at comparable speeds, but differ in directionality. Knockdown of any of the three genes leads to similar deficits in caudally directed migratory behavior without affecting mediolateral migratory behavior. Together, the genetic and behavioral analysis suggests strongly that TAG1, LAMA1 and STBM regulate the same cellular processes necessary for motor neuron migration.

Dear Editor:
I am concerned about a new sign that may be installed in my neighborhood at 7878 Telegraph Road that is to be voted on at the June 19 Downey Planning Commission meeting.
This sign would be a major distraction to my lifestyle as well as my neighbors. It would be against the city of Downey's sign code and it would be a major lowering of my enjoyment of life, as well as the value of my property to have this code violation sign shining into my window 24/7, as well as when I go out to my backyard to entertain guests, etc.
I do not want this illegal sign to be in the city of Downey.
Mitch Collier
