Stories from people who were children during World War II and the objects in this exhibit animate the past and inform us of a time when war took over daily life. "Retrospect is a very interesting thing," says Ruthie Kallnder. "At the time I don't recall any of the information we got as being propaganda," but the government tried to influence children to make "necessary" sacrifices. Propagandists made the war a battle between good and evil, democracy and fascism. They also asked children to share in the war effort. In response, many children took on more responsibilities. Ruthie explains that boys and girls felt "if that's what it was going to take" to win they "were willing to do it." The memories of the people in this exhibit and their wartime actions show the power of propaganda's messages and its lasting affect on their lives. Propaganda posters, children's books, and classroom assignments demonstrate how propagandists reached children and involved them in the national war effort.

Making Voting Constitutional
In Fairfax County, Virginia, a voter holds their voting permit and ID card at the Washington Mill Elementary School near Mount Vernon, Tuesday, November 6, 2012. Fairfax County is a Washington suburb with more than 1 million residents and is the biggest battleground in Virginia, which is a key swing state in Tuesday's presidential election.
Early last year, when Attorney General Eric Holder took a strong stand against voter-identification laws, he emphasized how much they violate core American ideals. "What we are talking here is a constitutional right," he said. "This is not a privilege. The right to vote is something that is fundamental to who we are as Americans. We have people who have given their lives—people have sacrificed a great deal in order for people to have the right to vote. It's what distinguishes the United States from most other countries."
The problem is Eric Holder is wrong. Unlike citizens in every other advanced democracy—and many other developing ones—Americans don't have a right to vote. Popular perception notwithstanding, the Constitution provides no explicit guarantee of voting rights. Instead, it outlines a few broad parameters. Article 1, Section 2, stipulates that the House of Representatives "shall be composed of Members chosen every second Year by the People of the several States," while Article 1, Section 4, reserves the conduct of elections to the states. The Constitution does, however, detail the ways in which groups of people cannot be denied the vote. The 15th Amendment says you can't prevent African American men from voting. The 19th Amendment says you can't keep women from voting. Nor can you keep citizens of Washington, D.C., (23rd Amendment) or 18-year-olds (26th Amendment) from exercising the franchise. If you can vote for the most "numerous" branch of your state legislature, then you can also vote for U.S. Senate (17th Amendment).
These amendments were passed in different circumstances, but they share one quality—they're statements of negative liberty, establishing whom the government can't restrict when it comes to voting. Beyond these guidelines, states have wide leeway in how they construct voting systems. Some, like California, have opted to make voting as easy as possible, with early-voting periods, widely available absentee ballots, and online registration. Others, like Virginia, have made voting difficult, with strict ID laws and no early voting. Throughout American history, some lawmakers and officials have seen the federal government's hands-off approach as an opportunity to tighten their grip on power and suppress opposition. At the end of Reconstruction, states passed laws to restrict African American voting. Governments led by the Democratic Party throughout the country—not just the South—had passed poll taxes, literacy requirements, and grandfather clauses, all designed to keep blacks away from the polls. When those weren't enough, vigilantes resorted to violence, with the tacit (or outright) approval of local authorities.
It wasn't until the Voting Rights Act of 1965 that the federal government made a proactive move to secure the voting rights of all citizens, and of African Americans in particular. But that didn't put an end to the states' suppressive shenanigans. During the 2000 election, to cite one unforgettable example, Florida officials made an active effort to remove voters from the rolls (in the interest of "protecting the vote") and keep former felons from voting. In 2004, Ohio's secretary of state, Republican Kenneth Blackwell, pushed strict measures that would disqualify provisional ballots submitted to the wrong precinct, even if they came from registered voters (and even if poll workers, not voters, were at fault). In 2011 and 2012, Republicans in state legislatures across the country passed "voter integrity" laws that instituted draconian ID requirements for voters and made it difficult for millions of Americans—disproportionately black and Latino—to vote. "Voter fraud" was the stated reason for these measures, but independent experts have found no evidence of the kind of fraud—voter impersonation—that would be stopped by requiring photo IDs.
In our large, polarized democracy, voting has been an issue fraught with partisanship and ideology. But the ability of states to restrict participation stems from the peculiar fact that Americans don't enjoy the right to vote. We came close once. Following the end of the Civil War, an early draft of the 15th Amendment featured a blanket right to vote (excluding women); this was rejected in favor of limited suffrage for freedmen. The reason? Southern Republicans didn't want to enfranchise former Confederates, Western politicians feared that Chinese would participate, and Northern states worried that they would have to abandon their own restrictions on voting.
There have been periodic attempts to revive the right-to-vote idea. In 2005, for example, Representative Jesse Jackson Jr. introduced a right-to-vote amendment that won meager support from other House members. But the recent attempts to block voters and make voting cumbersome—dramatized by the long lines of the 2012 presidential election—could act as a catalyst for a new movement to codify, in the Constitution, a right to vote.
Proponents say that an affirmative constitutional right would, at the very least, force state lawmakers and election administrators to think twice about measures and election procedures that harm voters. "A constitutional amendment for the right to vote is needed to make it explicit," says Judith Browne Dianis, co-director of the Advancement Project, a civil-rights organization. "Making it explicit will send a signal to state legislatures and courts that any barriers to our democracy must be carefully devised so that they don't disenfranchise people." The Supreme Court, she notes, has been happy to defer to states' laws on voting, even if the result is to keep some people from exercising the franchise. In 2008, the Court upheld Indiana's voter-identification law, declaring that it wasn't unconstitutional to require photo identification at the polls because the state had a "valid interest" in deterring fraud. That ruling was made despite Indiana's inability to produce a single example of in-person voter fraud.
A right-to-vote amendment would raise the standard of constitutional review for voter-identification laws and other measures that deplete the pool of voters. Currently states have to show only a "compelling interest" for their laws to pass muster. An affirmative right to vote would compel courts to apply "strict scrutiny," the standard used to review laws that operate on the basis of race and other characteristics. The burden would then be on a state like Indiana to prove voter fraud and to show that IDs or other requirements are needed to prevent further problems.
"One way to read the Constitution is as a narrative, and that narrative is one of ever-increasing inclusion and participation for people," says Jamie Raskin, a Maryland state senator and professor of law at American University in Washington, D.C. Raskin believes that a right-to-vote amendment could be used to settle a question that has always been at the center of our political disputes: Who participates in our democracy?
The founders were preoccupied with what they called "republican virtue." As they saw it, a democratic society couldn't function without a virtuous citizenry participating in public life, with virtue defined by one's economic independence. If you owned your land, the founders believed, you had the ability to reason free of self-interest, and thus you possessed virtue. If you were a lowly worker, or dependent on others for your livelihood, you were too compromised to make political choices, and thus you lacked virtue. Of course, it's no accident that the only people who had republican virtue—white male landowners—were also the people who defined it. They were, in their estimation, the only people to possess the independence, control, and faculties to govern the country and protect it from mob rule.
Even though we've expanded the Constitution to protect voting rights for women, minorities, and young adults, the idea that some people have virtue and others don't is still embedded in our political thought. During last year's U.S. Senate election in Massachusetts, Senator Scott Brown, a Republican, decried that public-assistance offices (under the 1993 National Voter Registration Act) were registering those who sign up for social services to vote, calling it "part of a special effort to boost one political party over another."
Brown's opposition was, of course, motivated by partisanship. Although only 1 percent of the state's voters registered in those offices, Brown likely feared that in a tight election he would lose ground if low-income people were encouraged to register and vote. But the senator's criticism harked back to the old notion of virtue—the implication being that receiving benefits (being "dependent") robs one of the independence needed to have a say in government. The same idea is at work in felon-disenfranchisement laws: Committing a crime robs you of your virtue, the thinking goes, and it is up to the virtuous political leaders to determine whether you can return from prison as a full member of society.
The call for a right-to-vote amendment is an attempt to redefine virtue away from exclusion and toward a broader and more inclusive view. James Savage, a professor of political theory at the University of Virginia, points out that this concept is also rooted in the founders' views. "A fundamental characteristic of republican virtue is citizen participation in political life," he says. "Virtuous citizens are obligated to engage in political life, minimally by voting. As part of its purpose, the state should encourage this virtuous participation, not impede it."
An affirmative right to vote would create a more democratic society. It would also help shift power back to everyday citizens. A country in which more people vote is one where wealth and corporate influence are a little less powerful. Almost every progressive change of the past century, from the original Progressive Era to the Great Society, was pushed along by efforts to expand the electorate and bring more people into the process. The 17th Amendment, by allowing for direct election of senators, took power away from the corporations who influenced state legislatures and gave it to ordinary people. Women, empowered by the 19th Amendment, helped elect Franklin Roosevelt, Harry Truman, and other liberal politicians. A right-to-vote amendment would further that legacy.
The odds of passing an amendment—any amendment—are long. Only 27 have made the cut, and the most important ones came during times of great national turmoil. Even something as commonsensical as the Equal Rights Amendment, which would constitutionally guarantee the equality of women, is unlikely to pass. This has much to do with the arduous process for amending the Constitution. First, Congress has to pass the proposed amendment by a two-thirds majority (it doesn't need presidential approval). Then three-quarters of the states have to approve the amendment. Given overwhelming GOP support for voter identification and other exclusionary measures, it's hard to imagine a sufficient number of Republican lawmakers voting to affirm the right to vote. The chances in states are perhaps even slimmer than in Congress: If you divide the country into states with voter-identification laws and those without, and assume the voter-ID states would oppose the amendment, you would be 17 states short of the necessary number even if all the non-ID states ratified it. Then again, as Raskin notes, "every constitutional amendment seems impossible up to the point it becomes inevitable."
Even if a serious push for a right-to-vote amendment ultimately falls short, the effort would benefit the progressive movement by putting it back on the offensive. "Progressives fought constitutionally for a long time," says Congressman Keith Ellison of Minnesota, who has been a co-sponsor on the right-to-vote amendment introduced in the House. "But now it's the people who restrict and deny rights who want to rewrite the Constitution."
Indeed, conservatives have not been shy about their desire to reshape the Constitution. Over the past decade, Republicans have proposed amendments to force a balanced budget, legalize school prayer, prohibit same-sex marriage, create term limits for members of Congress, and establish personhood for embryos. Moreover, conservatives have turned some amendments, like the one for a balanced budget, into partisan rallying cries. During the Republican presidential primaries, every candidate except Jon Huntsman signed a pledge to support a balanced-budget amendment in Congress. There's no reason progressives can't do the same with a right-to-vote amendment in the next Democratic contest.
Voting rights are far more important than balanced budgets. "When we think about Election Day, it's the great equalizer in this country," Dianis says. "It doesn't matter if you're rich or poor, black or white or Latino: Everyone has the same rights when they go into the voting booth. The amendment is about establishing and enshrining how important this is to us as a country."
Most Americans already believe that the vote is sacrosanct. The least we can do is enshrine it in our laws. By making the right to vote a rallying point, progressives would show their commitment to expanding democracy. "We've taken a defensive posture," Ellison says, "and it's a bad way to organize. It's also not a way to inspire people. If you want to inspire people, you have to lift sights, and I think a constitutional amendment is the way to do that."

Article II of the National Popular Vote compact mandates a popular election for President and Vice President in each member state.
"Each member state shall conduct a statewide popular election for President and Vice President of the United States."
This clause guarantees that there will be popular votes for President and Vice President to count in each member state. It fortifies the practice of the states (universal since the 1880 election) to permit the people to vote for President. The people have acquired the privilege to vote for President and Vice President as a consequence of legislative action by their respective states.
As long as a state remains in the National Popular Vote compact, Article II of the compact establishes the right of the people in each member state to vote for President and Vice President.
The National Popular Vote bill would guarantee the Presidency to the candidate who receives the most popular votes in the country.
The bill changes the way electoral votes are awarded by states in the Electoral College, instead of the current 48 state-by-state winner-take-all system (not mentioned in the Constitution, but since enacted by states).
Every vote, everywhere, would be politically relevant and equal in every election. Every vote would be included in the state counts and national count.
The candidate with the most popular votes in the country would get the 270+ electoral votes from the enacting states. That guarantees the candidate with the most popular votes in all 50 states and DC wins the presidency.
The bill uses the power given to each state in the Constitution to change how they award their electoral votes for President. Historically, virtually all of the major changes in the method of electing the President, including ending the requirement that only men who owned substantial property could vote and 48 current state-by-state winner-take-all laws, have been by state legislative action.
The bill has passed 31 state legislative chambers in 21 states with 243 electoral votes. The bill has been enacted by 9 jurisdictions with 132 electoral votes - 49% of the 270 necessary to go into effect.

A far more comprehensive, powerful and direct approach is the Renew Democracy Amendment proposal. The Renew Democracy Amendment would create a constitutional guarantee of the right to vote and directly elect all candidates for whom they were qualified to vote. It would eliminate the Electoral College and it would restore the power of the individual voter by requiring our representatives to be funded solely by the individual voter. It would rid corporations and all other groups and organization from influencing our representatives without attempting to strip corporations of the legal status required to regulate them and for corporations to hold contracts, property, etc. Here is the RDA proposal :
"The right of the individual qualified citizen voter to participate in and directly elect all officeholders by popular vote in all pertinent local, state, and federal elections shall not be denied or abridged and the right to vote is limited to individuals.
The right to contribute to political campaigns and political parties is held solely by individual citizens.
Political campaign and political party contributions shall not exceed an amount reasonably affordable by the average American.
The rights of all groups, associations and organizations to other political speech may be regulated by Congress but only as to volume and not content and only to protect the right of the individual voter's voice to be heard."
The RDA would create a campaign funding system in which nearly any American could be a politician's largest donor.

This section contains the most pertinent information about parking on the UNH campus. All persons who will possess or operate a motor vehicle on the West Haven campus are required to display a valid UNH parking permit on the vehicle.
If you had a valid permit for the 2013-2014 academic year you simply need to update your vehicle and personal information, if there are any changes.
Students may pick up their permits by presenting their driver's license, the vehicle's registration certificate and their UNH identification card at the UNH Police Department after completing the online application. Resident students residing on the main campus, and those at Forest Hills, must pay a $200 parking fee at the time of application. This fee must be paid by credit card. It cannot be applied to a student's account.
The links at left provide General Parking regulations, the 2014-2015 parking map, and information about ticketing & appeals.
As our student population increases, and our campus grows, we are facing more challenges in terms of parking. In order to better serve our students, over 200 faculty and staff will be parking off campus daily, Monday through Thursday, to create more available parking on the main campus. The University continues to explore other short- and long-term parking options.
It is important to note that the Allingtown Fire Marshal has directed that the University keep the fire lanes and walkways open at all times. Violators parked in these areas will be immediately towed at their expense. Additionally, the UNH Police will strictly enforce all new parking policies. Any vehicle receiving more than three parking tickets during the academic year will automatically be ticketed and towed for every subsequent violation.

Many of you know that I do hot yoga as a form of exercise. A lot of you ask me, "What is hot yoga and is it really that good for you?" Let me start off by saying that I have experienced the benefits of hot yoga, and I'm hooked! My entire life, I've been a huge cardio junkie and never cared for yoga because it was too slow and I never felt like I was getting a good work out. I didn't give yoga enough of a chance, and my perceptions were definitely wrong.
My first hot yoga class was last September (2010) at Hot Yoga Nashville, and I can't say that the first class was amazing because it was hard getting used to working out in the heat. Yet, the feeling I had afterwards is honestly what brought me back again and again. The more that you go, the better it feels. It's hard to describe to you, so you should try to experience it for yourself. The month of January, I did hot yoga 4-5 times a week. That month, I felt better, my mood was lifted, my stress levels were diminished dramatically, and I had so much more energy. After the month was over, I went to the gym to lift weights, and when I started doing lunges with dumbbells, I couldn't believe how easy they were. Right then, I realized just how much hot yoga had strengthened my legs. Hot yoga is one of the ways I de-stress when life gets overwhelming. It's very important that you have an outlet for your stress because the toll it takes on your body can be extremely harmful. The effects of stress are listed here.
What is Hot Yoga?
Hot yoga is a scientifically-designed series of postures that systematically stimulate the muscles, organs and glands, as well as the nervous system. As you progress through the postures, you move freshly-oxygenated blood throughout the entire body. The studio is heated to approximately 100°-105° so that your muscles are warmed, which helps prevent injury, and it allows you to go deeper into the stretches/poses. Sweating helps to cleanse your body from toxins through the skin.
Benefits of Hot Yoga:
Yoga builds strength and flexibility to the entire body. "A recent study at the University of California at Davis found that 90 minutes of yoga practice four times a week over eight weeks increased muscular strength up to 31%, muscular endurance up to 57%, and flexibility up to 188% in a group of healthy college students." The average calorie burn is 600-800 per class. People who practice frequently lose inches of fat, develop muscle tone, and increase strength, flexibility, balance, and coordination. Many athletes with injuries practice hot yoga in hopes to avoid surgery by strengthening their muscles, ligaments, and tendons. Runners love hot yoga as they are able to shave seconds and even minutes off their race time. Hot yoga also helps to:
- Accelerate weight loss
- Reduce stress
- Lower blood pressure
- Relieve headaches
- Increase energy
- Promote relaxation
- Lessen menopausal symptoms
- Reduce arthritic pain
- Improve coordination
- Increase strength
- Build stamina
- Restore healthy immune system
- Improve functioning of circulatory system
Hot yoga is for all fitness levels. The classes are full of people with different levels of ability, so don't let that scare you. We are all beginners at some point. I have experienced the benefits first hand, as have many others. If you're in a city that offers hot yoga or bikram yoga, you should definitely give it a try! Namaste!

How do you improve on excellence? That was a situation that Grady Davis faced as 1962 wound to a close. Davis, then Gulf Oil's executive VP for research and development, owned a '62 Corvette which Dr. Dick Thompson was driving to win after A/Production win in the big SCCA races across the country, scoring 12 wins in 15 races.
Thanks to the work of Chevrolet's own R&D team, a new-second-generation Vette was in the works for 1963. That's what Davis chose to carry his (and Gulf Oil's) colors for the '63 season, a rolling test bed for Gulf's fuels and lubricants R&D program.
What Davis also chose for his new A/Production race car was the all-new RPO Z06 package, which added these race-grade parts to the production Sting Ray: Big drum-and-shoe brakes with vented backing plates, sintered metallic linings, finned aluminum drums, internal cooling fans and a dual-circuit master cylinder; special suspension front and rear, with stiffer springs, bigger front stabilizer bar and heavy-duty shocks; 36-gallon gas tank; and finned aluminum knock-off wheels. For power, there was the L84 fuel-injected 327, backed by a Borg-Warner T10 four-speed and Chevy's tried-and-true Positraction limited-slip differential.
With its first-of-the-line pedigree and impressive list of heavy-duty/racing equipment, Davis' racer was a historic Corvette even before it first rolled on to a race course. It was one of only 14 regular-production Corvettes whose serial numbers were specifically assigned to competition cars before Chevrolet announced RPO Z06's availability on January 1, 1963. It was also the first of two regular-production '63 Sting Rays assigned to Yenko Chevrolet, again specifically for competition. It was also the first Corvette to be prepared with advanced race technology developed especially for the RPO Z06 package, and later adapted to the prototype Corvette Grand Sports.
This car (Chassis No. 2227) and one other went to Davis, while five went to Mickey Thompson. All 14 of the "pre-assigned" Z06s went to top Corvette racers and race teams for the coming '63 season. When it came off the line at St. Louis Assembly in early-October 1962, Gulf Oil personnel picked the car up and drove it to Pittsburgh, where final race preparations were made. Then, it was shipped to Puerto Rico for the first-and, so far, the only-Puerto Rican Grand Prix. With Dr. Dick Thompson at the wheel, "Gulf One" (as it was now called, thanks to its backing and the competition No. 1 it wore) scored its first SCCA A/Production class win. One more race and win-in Marlboro, Maryland's "Refrigerator Bowl" in January 1963-and Gulf One was then prepared in accordance with FIA rules for action at Daytona and Sebring.
At Daytona, in the Daytona Continental sports-car race, Thompson piloted it to third place overall (behind two Ferrari GTOs) and first place in the GT3 class. Unfortunately, Gulf One DNF'd at the 12 Hours of Sebring due to transmission failure, after a strong qualifying effort and early-race run.
From then on, Davis entered Gulf One in big SCCA events across the country, just as he did the season before with their '62 Corvette, and-with Thompson at the wheel-it racked up class wins just like the '62 did. In particular, Gulf One took first place overall at the SCCA President's Cup race at Marlboro, Maryland, as well as A/P wins in SCCA races at Danville, Virginia, and Road America at Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin.
Davis, Thompson and Gulf One thrived that season despite two major obstacles. Carroll Shelby's Anglo-American hybrid, the AC Cobra, was appearing in greater numbers for 1963, powered by Ford's own small-block, while its chassis had four-wheel disc brakes-and the entire car weighed about 2/3 what a Z06 Corvette did. Plus, in late January, GM pulled the plug on all its factory-supported racing programs. Nonetheless, Gulf One was the most successful of the 14 "assigned" Z06s.

There's nothing quite like grilling fish, burgers, kabobs, or steak in the backyard or the local park on a warm summer night. It's one of our greatest and most enduring culinary pastimes. But cleaning the grill afterward? Who needs it?! Well, your grill does, unless you enjoy a burger that tastes like last week's chicken. And if you're put off by the idea that you need to use harsh cleaners to do the job right, banish that thought. It isn't true.
"Grill cleaning in an environmentally friendly way is really pretty simple, and timing is everything," explains grilling expert David Joachim, author of Mastering the Grill: The Owner's Manual for Outdoor Cooking (Chronicle Books, 2007) and The Tailgater's Cookbook.
"The simplest, best 'green' tools are, and always have been, a stiff wire grill brush, a sturdy spatula or spackle knife, tongs, a wadded up paper towel, and inexpensive vegetable oil," says Joachim. (Rodale.com recommends avoiding plastic tools and opting for stainless steel versions as longer-lasting, greener choices.) "Maybe more importantly, the best time to use these tools is when your grill is hot," adds Joachim. "It's much easier to clean a hot grill grate than a cold one."
To prevent the need for laborious cleaning sessions, follow these simple steps every time you use your grill:
1. Preheat the grill for 15 minutes.
2. Scrape the grill grate with a stiff wire grill brush.
3. Grab a wadded up paper towel with grill tongs and dampen it with vegetable oil.
4. Use tongs to rub the oily paper towel over the grill grate.
The grill brush scrapes off large bits of debris, and the oil and paper towel remove the finer soot. This keeps past flavors from infiltrating of your food, explains Joachim. "More importantly, oil lubricates the grill and helps prevent sticking, which prevents the build-up of stuck-on food," he says. This makes cleanup a lot easier.
You should also regularly tackle the area below the grate or on the underside of the lid, but only when the grill has cooled off. Here's how:
1. Remove the grill grate.
2. Use a spatula or spackle knife to scrape out and discard any carbonized debris from the heat diffuser, which is often a metal plate resting above the burners.
3. Scrape out and remove as much debris as possible from the cookbox below the heat diffuser.
4. Use the spatula or spackle knife to scrape out and discard any carbonized debris from the underside of the lid.
Depending on how often you use your grill, you'll want to clean the outside on occasion as well. To do so, use a sponge or paper towel and a citrus-based degreaser. Avoid those with artificial fragrances, orange "impostors" (such as d-limonene), or harsh ingredients.

Advice & Support
Osteopathy emphasizes overall health and the relation among the
body's nerves, muscles, bones, and organs. Doctors of osteopathy (DOs) base
diagnosis and treatment on the idea that the body's systems are interconnected.
Instead of treating specific symptoms or illnesses, DOs regard and treat the
body as an integrated whole. Osteopathic medicine focuses on disease prevention
and health maintenance.
Osteopathic doctors must complete basic medical
education from an accredited college of osteopathic medicine. Accreditation is
recognized by the U.S. Department of Education and the Council on Postsecondary
Education. Like medical doctors (MDs), DOs must complete an internship and
residency program after their basic medical education. DOs can prescribe
medicine and do surgery.
Doctors of osteopathy may serve as primary care
providers. DOs can prescribe medicines, order medical tests such as
X-rays, and do surgery. DOs often provide treatment in
a hospital. More than half of all osteopathic doctors practice in primary care
areas. Examples of primary care areas are children (pediatrics), pregnant women (obstetrics), women's
health (gynecology), or general adult health (internal medicine).
Some osteopathic doctors use hands-on manipulation of bones and
muscles, or osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT), in their
training and practice. OMT allows osteopathic
doctors to use their hands to diagnose injury and illness and to promote
Osteopathic medicine is a safe, established practice of medicine.
Like MDs, DOs must pass a state medical board examination to obtain a license
in order to enter practice. Each state board sets its own requirements and then
issues the license for the osteopathic doctor to practice in that state.
If you are interested in choosing a DO as your primary care
provider, check his or her education, license, and experience. Recommendations
from family members, friends, or other health professionals may be
Always tell your doctor if you are using an
alternative therapy. And tell your doctor if you are thinking about combining an alternative
therapy with your conventional medical treatment. It may not be safe to rely only on an alternative

100% exemption
Ohio may provide a sales and use tax exemption for certain tangible personal property used in energy conversion, solid waste energy conversion, or thermal efficiency improvement facilities designed, constructed, or installed after December 31, 1974.
Qualifying energy conversion facilities are those that are used for the primary purpose of converting natural gas or fuel oil to an alternate fuel or power source excluding propane, butane, naphtha, fuel oil, or natural gas. Solid waste conversion facilities include those that convert solid or semi-solid waste from industrial operations including public utilities, commercial distribution, research, agricultural, and community operations, and including garbage, street dirt, and debris. Thermal efficiency improvement is defined as "the recovery and use of waste heat or waste steam produced incidental to electric power generation, industrial process heat generation, lighting refrigeration, or space heating."
Facilities must apply for an Exempt Facilities Certificate from the Department of Taxation, which must also be approved by the Development Services Agency. Upon receipt of certification from the tax commissioner, such property is exempt from Ohio's sales and use tax. The application for Energy and Solid Waste Energy Conversion and Thermal Efficiency Improvement Facility is found at on the Ohio Department of Taxation [http://tax.ohio.gov/Forms.aspx web site] (form number ECF).
See the [http://tax.ohio.gov/faqs/index.stm Department of Taxation Frequently Asked Questions] for general comments on which sales are exempt from sales tax in the state of Ohio. Contact the Department of Taxation for more information.

Almost to the day two years after Microsoft announced the shutdown of their ambitious Popfly project, this site resurrects at least the idea. Launched in May 2007, Microsoft Popfly provided a platform that allowed users to create everything from games and small programs to mashups and web pages.
Having set up a profile, users were assigned 100 MB of space to store and share whatever they created. One popular product coming out of the Popfly project were little gadgets that could be placed on the sidebar in Windows. Using the Microsoft Silverlight technology, creators Adam Nathan and John Montgomery did capture the spirit of the time for a little while.
Despite this success the project was discontinued, probably for financial reasons, when Microsoft announced a series of cuts which killed more than just the Popfly-project. "If you want to keep programming, use Kudo or Scratch," Microsoft succinctly announced and it was over. By August 24, 2009, users could no longer sign in or access their work.

This is my great-grandmother, Effie Blanche Fendricks, who was born in Hardin County, TN, ca. 1891. She was one of 13 children (8 who survived).
Effie married Walter Springer and birthed 9 children, 7 of whom survived to adulthood. She was a homemaker and when I interviewed my grandmother Mattie before her death she shared many fond memories of her mother. Effie's husband Walter farmed, worked on the Tennessee steamboats and eventually landed what would have been considered a good "government" job at a factory making munitions for the war.
My grandmother Mattie eventually migrated to Dayton, Ohio when she married in the mid-1940s. Later, her widowed mother Effie joined them as well as several other siblings. Sadly, Effie suffered a stroke and died in 1959, likely about 67 years old.
I am thinking about Effie today because of Luckie's discussion going on over at Our Georgia Roots in search of one of her ancestor's slaveowners. Luckie, you are such an inspiration! I'm also finally also getting some traction this year on Effie's family after a 12 year brick wall. These brick walls really do bother me on an emotional level…just the thought that the basics of someones life is LOST, even to their descendants, makes me sad. I think that's why I have such a passion to try to snatch back that lost memory.
Effie's "Fendricks" line has been a challenge, number one because the name has been rendered in every way imaginable (and unimaginable). Her parents, Mike and Jane Eliza, migrated to Hardin County, Tennessee by 1880 and all I knew was that they were from Alabama. My journey to find out what county in Alabama was very similar to Luckies–it was more about using my skills now to reassess information I've had for years.
I've tentatively finally traced back to Effie's grandfather, John Mike Fendricks living in Lawrence Cty, AL in 1870. Once there, I put together a chart of neighbors and potential slaveowners. I ordered 6 rolls of Lawrence Cty Probate records and deeds and I've been spending the last 2 weeks pouring over them. It's slow work as I'm tracking 3 families (Sherrod, Shackelford and Bynum) who intermarried and had large land and slaveholdings. I'm putting each probate entry into a table for analysis and I've also done census baselines for each family from 1860 back.
I know I'm hot on the trail, but there is always the chance that that "smoking gun" we want won't be found. There are some missing records for Lawrence County and one specific book that I know has the slave distribution for one of these families is in one of them. So I was thinking about what are some of the ways that we can make the case connecting our ancestors to a slaveowner when we are missing some of those critical traditional documents? Here are a few thoughts, and I'd love to hear more from my genius genea-bloggers (that means you Luckie, Angela, Renate, Michael, Mavis, Sandra, George and others):
- Proximity is always a clue. Most slaves in 1870 still lived near their former slaveowner. Not all, but proximity is a good clue. Some may be living on a former slaveowner's land.
- Use of slaveowner's surname. We all know all slaves did not take the last name of the most recent slaveowner, but many did. Check those slaveowner's wives maiden names, because some have that surname if they came from her family.
- First names in the enslaved individuals family matching first names in the slaveowner's family. I've seen alot of that.
- Interactions with the slaveowner's family. I've seen slaveowner's act as witnesses for marriages as well as posting bond/acting as sureties. Another big clue is found in deeds. Many slaves purchased their first land from a former slaveowner so always find that first land record. Check the slaveowner's probate records even if they died after 1865–your ancestor may be purchasing items from the estate indicating a connection.
- Interactions of generations of both families into the early 20th century. It is not uncommon to have descendants of the slave/slaveowner still interacting or living in close proximity even in the 1900, 1910, 1920 census.
- Freedmen's Bureau labor contracts between your ancestor and an individual is another good clue. Most of these aren't indexed and don't exist for every locality, but be sure to check.
Remember, I am talking about when you can't find that document that actually names your ancestor. I am certainly not suggesting that any of these things in isolation would be a good basis for making the claim of a particular slaveowner.But, I do believe that there are still ways to build a strong case from circumstantial evidence that your ancestor was owned by an individual. Of course, you may still be more comfortable adding a caveat to your family history with the word "likely" or "probable", and then presenting your reasoning.
I think thats the way we should approach this quest. For some of our lines, we'll find the definitive evidence, but for others we won't.
My search for Effie's enslaved roots continues. And if I don't find that bill of sale or inventory that lists her grandfather (or any of the things where a slave names his ex-owner), I'll still be working on building my case. Let me hear your thoughts, family.

Why I Teach
To tap into the innate potential within each student, the learning environment I create must be open, welcoming and comfortable. I want to inspire students to take a creative interest in what is being taught and to exercise critical thought in the classroom and in the world around them. To achieve this, I use a personal, more flexible teaching style.
I affirm positive relationships with students by offering suggestions and encouragement to work to their highest abilities. In every class, I strive to impart new information that helps them form a broader global perspective and experience personal transformation that impacts their values and key decisions.

The 1" continuous air relief valve is installed with an irrigation system to allow continuous relief of pressure from air pockets during operation, preventing pipes and fittings from cracking or bursting. The air relief valves can reduce the chance of water hammer damage caused by a sudden reversal of water flow. The air valve float design ensures the valve closes as water fills the system and remains open when air pressure reaches 7 PSI.
In any irrigation system trapped air bubbles can damage pumps (via cavitations) and disrupt the flow and pressure in the system. Installing an air relief valve in an irrigation system allows the release of large volumes of air as water flows through the pump, pipes and filtration system, either along or at the ends of the main line. A continuous relief valve insures that pockets of air are continuously released during operation, reducing vacuum effect at shutdown.
To install an air relief valve, ensure you have a 1" FNPT tee at the highest point along the pipeline or upstream of the valve manifolds. The air relief valve should thread into a 1" male pipe thread. It is important to install the air relief valve at the highest point of the system layout or near the pump and filtration stations to allow it to work correctly. If your water inlet and filter are lower than the irrigated landscape, ensure your air relief valve is suitably located at the highest point.

NRA Puts Boyz II Men On List Of Enemies
The National Rifle Association has published its list of "enemies," a list that includes R&B crooners Boyz II Men. The list contains those who the pro-gun lobby group deems to be opponents, the BBC reports.
The list also includes actors Dick Van Dyke and George Clooney, Hallmark greetings cards, the Kansas City Royals baseball team, Beyonc�, Britney Spears, Bon Jovi, Chaka Khan, and Shania Twain.
The list, titled "Organizations With Anti-Gun Policies," originally appeared on the group's website but has since been taken down. Written last September, it has attracted mockery from supporters of gun control, who point out that it includes nearly every prominent American.
It is divided into categories, including "Anti-Gun Individuals and Celebrities," journalists, civic organizations, corporations and religious leaders.

Five Teams Receive NCAA APR Public Recognition Award
May 7, 2014
NCAA APR Public Recognition Awards Searchable Database
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. - Five University of Illinois athletic teams earned the NCAA Public Recognition Award based on their most recent multi-year Academic Progress Rate (APR), the NCAA announced Wednesday. Illini baseball, men's and women's golf, soccer and women's tennis teams all earned the honor, which is bestowed to teams with APRs in the top 10 percent of their sport nationally for the four-year period ending with 2012-13.
Illinois women's golf has garnered the Public Recognition Award during all nine years of the program, while baseball has been honored six times, including each of the last three years. Women's soccer picked up the laurel for the third year in a row, while both the men's golf and women's tennis team were lauded for the second consecutive year.
Illinois is one of 59 schools to receive a Public Recognition Award in each of the program's nine years, with the women's golf team among the list of 146 teams that have earned Public Recognition Awards every year. The 1,049 teams publicly recognized for high achievement represent 631 women's teams and 418 men's or mixed squads. The Big Ten boasted 64 teams earning Public Recognition Awards, 32 on both the men's and women's side.
The Orange and Blue soccer team was one of only two Big Ten women's soccer squads recognized, while Illini baseball was one of only four Big Ten squads to earn the honor. Five Big Ten men's golf, women's golf and women's tennis teams collected the accolade, with Illinois being represented in each.
Each year, the NCAA honors selected Division I sports teams by publicly recognizing their latest multiyear NCAA Division I APR. This announcement is part of the overall Division I academic reform effort and is intended to highlight teams that demonstrate a commitment to academic progress and retention of student-athletes by achieving the top APRs within their respective sports.
This year's APR rates are based on data from the 2009-10, 2010-11, 2011-12 and 2012-13 academic years. The APR provides a real-time look at a team's academic success each semester by tracking the academic progress of each student-athlete on scholarship. The APR accounts for eligibility, retention and graduation and provides a measure of each team's academic performance. Full APR data for all teams will be announced May 14.

Stokke Xplory Complete
Kiddy Car Seats
Uppababy Vista
Here at Baby Nest, we stock a wide range of baby equipment by popular brands such as Stokke, Silver Cross, Maclaren, Britax, Bugaboo, Phil & Ted, Maxi Cosi and Boori & Kidsmill.
We are main stockists of nursery furniture, prams, car seats, carrycots, cots and bedding, travel cots and highchairs.
As well as buying online, you can visit our store in Croydon, Surrey with easy parking, friendly knowledgeable staff, and fast delivery for any items that you can't fit into the car with you. We have the largest independent showroom/boutique in London, allowing us to provide you with a wonderfully large selection of major brands of baby furniture, car seats, strollers and much more.
On top of all this, we're an authorised car seat fitting centre and can give you independent advice and expertise on safety for your baby.
One of our favourite pushchairs is the the Uppababy Vista. As well as looking very swanky and available in some very nice colours, the Vista really can cope with harder terrains and is viewed with very high regard in parenting communities. It will grow with your family, able to cater for three children with the addition of a second seat and a 'rumbleseat', so your eldest can hitch a ride on the back. It's the only travel system you'll ever need, compatible with car seats such as the Maxi Cosi, and uses a carrycot which is supplied.
Another feature of the Uppababy Vista is the easy one-step folding system, whether the seat is attached or not. This gives it a real edge over other pushchairs where you have to remove the seat first before it folds, so with the Vista you're getting real practicality. The wheels, tyres and suspension system are all superb, ensuring baby's ride in the Vista is top-notch and very smooth. It can handle more challenging terrain, so this is the perfect choice if you plan on getting out and about lots after baby is born.
The fantastically versatile Bugaboo Cameleon Stroller adapts to its environment to give you the easiest, smoothest time with the stroller. The other cameleon-type aspect to the Bugaboo is the choice of colour combinations- there are 108, so you can have a Cameleon Stroller that's quite unique! Ideal for baby or toddler, the Bugaboo Cameleon has the quality you would come to expect with the added benefit of customisation, allowing the pushchair to adapt to suit your child through his or her earliest years.
For your little one's comfort, Bugaboo has various canopies and foot muffs for your stroller, available in a selection of gorgeous colours. Other clever additions to your Bugaboo Cameleon stroller include the wheeled board, which will allow a brother or sister to ride along (standing), and the transport bag. The Bugaboo Wheeled Transport Bag is a great idea, especially when going on holiday- you won't need to lug a suitcase with you as well as pushing the stroller; it's all together in one piece. All this combined really makes the Cameleon stand out from the crowd- NOT blend with its surroundings.
The Babystyle Oyster pushchair is an affordable and practical stroller to transport your baby. Lightweight and compact, it's full of fantastic features that
make life much easier for parents. The Babystyle Oyster has a reversible seat unit, so baby can face away or towards you, whatever you prefer. A reclineable and
independent seat unit and swivel and lockable quick release wheels make it a versatile pushchair, great for getting out and about around town or country.
Other great extras on the Babystyle Oyster pushchair include an extendible hood/sun canopy and adjustable handle height, large easy access shopping basket, and much more.
This pushchair is compatible with the Maxi Cosi Cabriofix and Pebble car seats, which is a great bonus (purchase of special adapters will be necessary), as well
as the Babystyle Oyster car seat.
The Maxi Cosi Tobi car sear is a perfect choice as a car seat for 1 - 4 year olds. It's a forward facing seat, installed by using a 3-point car belt system.
It features an innovative easy-out harness; the harness belts and belt buckle no longer get in the way, and the adjustment of the headrest and harness belts
can easily be done with one hand. The safety of the Maxi Cosi Tobi car seat is also very strong - there is a Side Protection System which offers optimal
protection against side impact, as well as extra firm installation in the car. The belt tensioner tightens seat belt securely, and a colour indicator confirms
proper installation of child.
The Maxi Cosi Tobi car seat is an all-round practical and very safe car seat, and
you can purchase from a range of colours here at Baby Nest.
The Bugaboo Donkey is the exciting new pushchair which really does count as an investment for parents. This is because it converts from a single to a double and back again, seamlessly. It's a fantastic innovation for parents planning for 2 or more children, even if the gap between them will be 3 years - you can have
a pushchair set-up on one side, and a carrycot on the other, or even a compatible carseat.
There's really nothing else quite like it on the market and although the price isn't cheap, it's certainly a great investment for the future and saving you money
and hassle in the long run.

The City of Berkeley has an ordinance requiring certain energy conservation measures to be installed in residential and commercial properties upon the sale of the building or major renovations over $50,000 in valuation.
The Residential Energy Conservation Ordinance (RECO) requires the ceiling insulation to be R-30, sealed and insulated furnace ducts, insulated water heaters and hot water pipes, weatherstripping around all exterior doors, improved the lighting efficiency, and improved water efficiency. These measures must be installed by the seller at the time of sale, and the seller and/or licensed real estate agent or broker handling the sale is responsible for compliance with this code. The maximum required expenditure to bring a residential structure into compliance is three-quarters of one percent of the final sale price for a structure not containing more than two units. The maximum expenditure for structures containing three units or more is fifty cents per square foot. The maximum expenditure in the case of renovation of fifty thousand dollars or more is one percent of the renovation costs. Any required measures not installed as a result of the spending cap must be installed during future sales or renovations to the property until all measures have been installed.
The Commercial Energy Conservation Ordinance (CECO) requires commercial property owners selling or renovating their property to install a variety of energy conservation measures for HVAC equipment, water systems, lighting, commercial refrigeration equipment, motor-driven equipment and the building envelope.

Man who built stone cairns charged with simple assaultBy Christian Avard
Staff Writer | July 24,2013CHRISTIAN AVARD / STAFF PHOTO
Braving swift waters after Monday night's rain, Grant Bercik of Jamaica was back in the Winhall River rebuilding the stone cairns that were knocked down by a Bondville resident.JAMAICA — A man who built hundreds of stone cairns in remembrance of his dog on the Winhall River in Rawsonville was charged with simple assault after he allegedly punched a man who he thought had knocked them down.
Grant Bercik, 25, of Jamaica approached Kevin Polhemus, 50, of Jamaica as he was cutting wood at his sawmill July 17 on Route 30, according to Trooper Chris Lora of the Vermont State Police. Bercik accused Polhemus of knocking down his cairns, but Mora said Polhemus had nothing to do with the act.
Polhemus told Bercik to leave his property, the trooper said, and Bercik responded by punching him "with a closed fist." Polhemus suffered minor injuries, Mora added.
According to Bercik, he approached Polhemus because he wanted to know what happened to the cairns. The mill where Polhemus was working was directly across from where the cairns stood.
Bercik said Polhemus got defensive, wouldn't provide him with information, kicked him off the property and pushed him. Bercik said he pushed Polhemus back and Polhemus charged after him with a clenched fist.
Bercik added that he blocked Polhemus' swing and responded with a punch that landed on Polhemus.
Bercik was interviewed Tuesday at the Winhall River where he was rebuilding the cairns he created.
Polhemus declined to comment about the incident.
Mora was unavailable to discuss the claim that Polhemus pushed and tried to assault Bercik.
"I thought there was a stand-your-ground or self-defense law," Bercik said. "If someone is pushing you, what are you supposed to do? I didn't know you were supposed to run away."
Bercik said it wasn't until he arrived home that he heard Peter Salo of Bondville was the person who knocked down the cairns. He received several messages from local residents saying that they saw Salo removing them. "I didn't know Salo did it because I hadn't gone home yet," Bercik said. "I thought (Polhemus) did it. Then I heard my name on the scanner and so I turned myself in to Winhall Police."
Police charged Bercik with simple assault. He will be arraigned Sept. 17 in Brattleboro criminal court.
Bercik built the stone cairns in memory of his dog, General, who was killed by a truck in Brookline three months ago. He said it was the way he coped with his loss.
Salo confirmed to the Rutland Herald last week that he was responsible for knocking down the cairns. He thought they posed a traffic hazard and were dangerous to Route 30 traffic.
According to local residents, people were pulling over to look at the cairns, take pictures or relax by the side of the river. Many people were upset that the cairns were knocked down and hundreds gathered at the river Saturday to help Bercik rebuild the cairns.
Bercik estimated 300 people took part and was astonished that the cairns meant so much to so many people.
"I really rejoiced in the spirit," Bercik said. "I really like to show my dedication to my dog and I can show it here. I feel like people like their dogs just like their kids. With this, there are a lot of people who feel the way I do."
Ken Weaver of Randolph, N.J., has a second home in Jamaica and visited the cairns for the first time Tuesday. He said he was shocked when he learned the cairns were knocked down and he commended Bercik and the community for rebuilding the memorial. "People want to be here because they enjoy what they see," Weaver said. "There's too much going on in the world right now. I give the guy a lot of credit."

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Defense wins championships, and the NFL has not seen a defense like
The Seahawks won their first Super Bowl title Sunday night in overpowering fashion, punishing Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos 43-8. That relentless defense, the NFL's stingiest, never let the five-time MVP get going, disarming the highest-scoring offense in league history.
Smith was the game's MVP.
When the Seahawks, up by 29 points, forced a
As in Legion of Boom, the Seahawks hard-hitting secondary, part of young team with an average age of 26 years, 138 days.
"This is an amazing team. Took us four years to get to this point but they never have taken a step sideways," coach Pete Carroll said. "These guys would not take anything but winning this ballgame."
The loss by the Broncos again raised questions about Manning's ability to win the biggest games. He is 11-12 in the postseason, 1-2 in Super Bowls. He never looked comfortable against a defense some will begin comparing to the 1985 Bears and 2000 Ravens — other NFL champions who had runaway Super Bowl victories.
The Seahawks looked comfortable and at ease, and not just their defense, which lost All-Pro cornerback Richard Sherman to a high ankle sprain in the fourth quarter.
Russell Wilson, who has an NFL-record 28 wins in his first two pro seasons, including playoffs, had a 23-yard TD pass to Jermaine Kearse late in the third quarter to make it 36-0.
"We been relentless all season,"
The victory was particularly sweet for Carroll, who was fired in 1994 by the Jets, led the Patriots for three seasons and again was canned. After a short stint out of coaching, he took over at
But he always felt there was unfinished business in the NFL. Carroll finished that business by lifting the Vince Lombardi Trophy, four years after taking charge in
No Super Bowl had been played outdoors in a cold-weather city before — not that the Big Apple was anything close to frozen Sunday, with a 49-degree temperature at kickoff. And no Super Bowl has started more bizarrely.
Things went sour for Manning and the Broncos from the very first scrimmage play, and by halftime they were down 22-0 — their biggest deficit of the season and the only time they didn't score in a half.
On that first play for the Broncos, Manning stepped up toward the line just as center Manny Ramirez snapped the ball. It flew past his incredulous quarterback into the end zone, where Knowshon Moreno dived on it for a safety.
A mere 12 seconds in, Seattle led 2-0 with the quickest score in Super Bowl history, beating Chicago's Devin Hester's kickoff return to open the 2007 game — against Manning's Colts.
That one ended much better for Manning as
Steven Hauschka, who missed only 2 of 40 field goals entering the game, made a 31-yarder for 5-0 and a 33-yarder for 8-0 after Doug Baldwin toasted 15-year veteran cornerback Champ Bailey, in his first Super Bowl, for 37 yards on third down.
Then the Seahawks began scoring touchdowns.
Manning's third-down pass to Julius Thomas sailed way too high and directly to safety Kam Chancellor, giving the Seahawks the ball at
Marshawn Lynch scored to make it 15-0.
Then Smith, with a play emblematic of the best defense the NFL has seen in years, made his second huge play in two weeks.
Cliff Avril got to Manning's arm as he was throwing, the ball fluttered directly to Smith, who took off down the left sideline for a 69-yard interception TD.
Manning trudged to the sideline, a look of disgust on his face.
That look didn't improve when, after a drive to the

Treat yourself to the simple pleasures in life at the Castle Inn. It was one of the very first motels built along the Cambria coast when cattle still roamed on Moonstone Beach Drive. The property boasts one of the best geographical locations on the beach.
