Obtaining an Oklahoma hunter education card is now just a few clicks away for most of the state's prospective hunters.
The Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation is now offering the complete hunter education course online. The successful cyber-student will be able to print an Oklahoma hunter education card after completing the free course.
Most state residents who are 10 to 30 years of age are required to have a hunter education card to buy a license. Now, instead of attending a traditional eight-hour course in a classroom setting, prospective hunters can simply log on to the Wildlife Department's website to complete the course and test for a certificate.
"We've always tried to make classes convenient for our hunters," said Lance Meek, hunter education coordinator for the Wildlife Department. "But everything we've tried, there were still people left out. The online class is the most inclusive option we've ever offered."
Students can study the curriculum online in sections. They will not have to complete the entire course at once, which is usually the case in a classroom setting.
Fifty test questions are scattered throughout the online course, and students must select the correct answers before being able to continue to the next section.
Also, this online course can be used by prospective hunters younger than 10 to satisfy the home study requirement they need to attend a traditional Hunter Education class.
This new option for certification promises to be quite successful. In just two weeks of initial operation, more than 1,000 hunter education cards have been printed as students have completed the course online.
Meek said the online course also offers young students the benefit of involving parents in learning about safe hunting.
"One of my favorite things about this online class is that I love the idea of the kids sitting down with their parents to work through the hunter safety curriculum," he said. "Parents or mentors are a hugely important part of the process of becoming a hunter."
The hunter education course is free, whether the student attends a classroom session or chooses the new online course. Anyone may take the online course by logging on to www.wildlifedepartment.com. The course was developed locally by Career Tech using curriculum from the University of Central Oklahoma in Edmond. Many of the test questions relating to accidents and violations are based on real-life experiences reported by game wardens in the field.
"Now there are three options for hunter education certification," Meek said. "You can take the course online if you are 10 years old or older, you can take an eight-hour classroom course, or the home study that requires a four-hour class."
To learn more about the Wildlife Department's online hunter education course, or to see a listing of in-class and home study hunter education courses available statewide, log on to www.wildlifedepartment.com/education/huntered.htm.
Exemptions from hunter education certification requirements in Oklahoma include anyone 31 or older, those honorably discharged or currently on active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces, and members of the National Guard. If an Oklahoma resident is exempt from taking hunter education in Oklahoma but needs a hunter education certification card to hunt in a different state, they can also complete the new course online for certification.

Dust Premium Miniatures
The year is 1947. The war that started eight years ago when Germany invaded Poland isn't over. Rather, the conflict has spread worldwide, and but a handful of countries cling to relative neutrality. Throughout the world, three major superpowers fight to claim exclusive control over a revolutionary source of power: Vk. This rare ore, mined from deep within the earth, has revealed extraordinary properties and ushered in the design of gigantic combat walkers capable of challenging the world's most advanced tanks.
The initial discovery of Vk, which seems only to be found in the most inhospitable places on the planet, is shrouded in rumor and propaganda. One thing is certain: each major superpower wants not only to control Vk, but to deny it to their enemies. Elite troops and massive combat walkers wage violent battles to claim these energy reservoirs... and this is the story of such a battle.

text: Chanel Liberte (44) Rouge Coco Shine ($32.00 for 0.10 oz.) looks like it'll be a brighter coral-red from the tube, but when swatched and applied, it's a much softer color with only a hint of coral. It's a very played down mix of peach and pink. It gives semi-opaque color coverage, but it seemed a little patchy compared to some of the other Rouge Coco Shines I've tried. Rouge Coco Shines are supposed to deliver softer, sheerer color, so I would not expect full color coverage with this formula (consider Rouge Cocos or Rouge Allures for more color payoff).

Three Aggies finished the tournament at even-par or better. Senior Justin Shin rounded out his collegiate career with a tournament low for round three with a 5-under par, 65.

Comments about Verismo® 580 Brewer Burgundy:
We bought a Verismo just after Christmas, and liked it so much I bought one for my office. Basically, this is a simple pump brewer that is less costly than most pump espresso makers, but still makes good espresso and coffee. It uses Verismo pods, available at Starbucks. I understand that Kfee pods will also work, but my search online found similar or higher prices. So far, only a few types of coffee are available in Verismo pods. I look forward to someone developing recyclable pods that you can reload with your preferred coffee, and that don't create more trash for the landfill. Starbucks could lead the way here and be environmentally responsible as it has been in some other areas.
Comments about Verismo® 580 Brewer Burgundy:
I bought two of these machines, one for home and one for the office. I have had problems with both of them. I brought both back to starbucks and exchanged them and now one of the units is still problematic. Every now and then the units blow the bottoms out of the pods and fills your cup with a messy mixture of grounds and water. I have had it happen with different pods, doesn't seem to matter what coffee you are trying to brew. The pressure will suddenly just pop and the pod bottom blows out. I don't think I will bother to bring it back a third time.
Comments about Verismo® 580 Brewer Burgundy:
This product was bought to replace the same model from Starbucks after less than two years
The new coffeemaker made a loud sound and quit working. I am accepting a replacement. I hope this one works better.
You should test these in china before they are shipped.
Ron Pyles
Comments about Verismo® 580 Brewer Burgundy:
When I opened the box, I was very happy with the burgundy color. It matched perfectly in my kitchen. Made one espresso with a milk pod. Tasted good and was so easy to do. Look forward to buying more flavors. I'm glad I finally purchased it.
Comments about Verismo® 580 Brewer Burgundy:
Ordered because after 18 months,my other one quit working&started leaking out the bottom. New one had instructions for products to clean monthly and decalcify every 3 months, Maybe this one will last longer, because I am totally ruined for any other kind of coffee and don't know of any other coffee maker that makes brewed coffee taste this good.
Comments about Verismo® 580 Brewer Burgundy:
I received the 580 as a birthday gift and have fallen in love with it! Within 10 minutes I was brewing lattes.
*Bin for catching used cups
*Built in cleaning settings
*Compact size
*Affordable price
*Easy to use
*Unlimited drink combinations
*Cups pricey (still cheaper than buying a latte in the store!)
*Must rinse upon turning machine on (not really a con but is annoying if you forget you have to do this)
It was difficult to come up with Cons for this machine! I will never buy another one cup brewer again.
Comments about Verismo® 580 Brewer Burgundy:
First off, I bought this for my office. So my coworkers aren't all going to read the manual. It would be nice if it automatically rinsed and ejected the pod when the machine is about to turn off, so it doesn't do it each time when the machine turns on.
The temperature of the water it brews is nice. It got very hot and steamy, what I like to see for espresso.
Comments about Verismo® 580 Brewer Burgundy:
This brewer is a great improvement from the previous version. It brews excellent espresso all the time with very little effort or mess. Its also very easy to clean and maintain.
Comments about Verismo® 580 Brewer Burgundy:
I am in LOVE with this machine.. I never have to go to Starbucks again. This machine is excatly what I needed in my life. It is a little noisy, but it can make me an espresso drink in under a minute. That is amazing. I highly reccomend this machine and that you use it with spring/filtered water. Best coffee invention yet!! Two thumbs up for Starbucks!!!!
Comments about Verismo® 580 Brewer Burgundy:
Love it only thing wrong is i got a grey one when i asked for a red one no idea why i got a grey one.

Hello - I am a Canadian living in Calgary. I got pregnant very easily and had all the "normal" issues in my first trimester. At exactly 20 weeks my blood pressure started to sky rocket - but the primary clinic didn't seem too concerned. They started me on blood pressure meds at 23 weeks and the day after - something just didn't feel right. I didn't think the symptoms had anything to do with my pregnancy. I had been having severe migraines for the past 3 weeks but had started vomiting after eating food and I literally thought I was having a heart attack my chest hurt so badly. I ended up going to the hospital after a couple hours of my husband begging. Once I got to labour and delivery, I apologized to the obstetrician because I thought I might be wasting her time. They wouldn't let me eat anything and starting taking X-rays and doing blood tests. But no one told me anything.... At about 11 at night a nice nurse told me they were taking me to the antepartum unit.
Once I was there, they told me to go to sleep and no walking around. I was exhausted and had been given a heartburn medication which slightly eased my pain, but I still didn't feel right. The next morning a nurse came bursting in at 7am telling me I had an emergency ultrasound booked and had to go right away. I started throwing up more and ended up throwing up all over the ultrasound doctor and her equipment. The doctor said to me - your daughter's only 540 grams and she's breached, you're gonna have to think about what you're gonna do. I told her I had no idea what she was taking about.... And she said it was time to call the obstetrician. They didn't bring me back to antepartum, ey took me to labour and delivery and put me in a critical care room which was basically where everyone could see me. The obstetrical came I and told me that I was extremely sick. She told me I already had severe HELLP syndrome and that I would have to deliver or I wouldn't live. I freaked out because the neonatologists came to see me and told me that they often don't like to rececitate 23 week old babies. They started giving me stats. I decided to try and hold on and get to 24 weeks, so they sedated me with magnesium sulfate to keep me from seizing, put on special equipment to help keep me from getting clots - I was carrying about 60 pounds of fluid - I literally looked like the Michelin man and I got steroids to try and get the baby's lungs going. I had my own 24 hour nurse and I had 10s of doctors around me almost all day, poking and prodding me, asking me questions. They ended up putting in a central line through my neck because I was so bloated they couldn't find any veins. They also put in an arterial line because they were doing bloodwork every three hours. It was crazy... I honestly felt my body dying around me and I was in a horrible, painful haze.
I held out for 4 days and made it to 24 1/7 week when my lungs filled with fluid and I could barely breath. The obstetrician said that we couldn't wait anymore, that I could die. The baby was transverse and I was so weak that they decided on an emergency c section and that I had to be put under because my platelets were so low. They literally decided this and had me in the OR within 10 mins. My mother who is an RN told me that the anesthesiologist looked like he was petrified and no one knew if I or the baby would make it.
I ended up with a classic csection, the type that you can never give birth with naturally again - the up/down kind. I was in incredible pain because of the section, but more so because of the painful swelling in my limbs and abdominal. I still had trouble breathing but was put on self controlled morphine. My daughter was born at 550g - 1lb 3oz.
My daughter survived and was in the level 3 (highest level) NICU for over 5 months. She spent 6 weeks on the ventilator, 8 weeks on cpap, 4 weeks on hi flow nasal prongs until we got to low flow. She developed numerous complications including almost dying at 6 weeks. They told me that if she hadn't been such a strong girl, she probably wouldn't have survived. Se came home on oxygen and we spent 7 months with her on oxygen, and now we just have her on at night time.
I was wondering if there is anyone else out there who had a similar experience, as I haven't met one yet whom I could chat with. As well, is there anyone who had sever HELLP in the second trimester? Has anyone subsequently gotten pregnant. I am really not sure if I should ever try again to have another baby. The internal medicine doctors told me that it shortens my life, and that I have much higher chances of developing high blood pressure, stroke or heart attack.
Any help, or comments would be greatly appreciated,
Best regards,

I love the consistency of this body wash -- it creates plenty of suds/lather and has a refreshing mint-like spa smell. It ls a great way to start the morning and I will definitely be recommending this product!

text: Are any of you guys watching this on the Fight Pass? The first episode was pretty good. Some good knockouts. I really just want to see the Chael Silva little fight that happens. It's weird seeing these girls from Volleyball and whatever the other is apart of coming to help the coaching staff. I guess they have to keep it fresh and interesting so trying new things isn't too bad. Interesting they are having a ring girl competition, that and the fight should make it worth it I guess, I hope.

It sounds like in summary that the browser isn't something to say your phone has better any more.
Chrome for Android vs. Safari for iPhone: Browser shootout
Google has just released the too-long-in-coming Chrome for Android browser, and Phil from Android Central wasted no time loading it up on his Galaxy Nexus, and putting it up against an iPhone 4S running Safari, for a classic head-to-head, phono-e-phono, Mobile Nations browser showdown video.
Safari and iOS in general still offer smoother, more closely-tracked multitouch scrolling, panning, and zooming. (No doubt due to iOS placing priority on interface rendering tasks, while they're left to fight as equals on Android.)
Interestingly, Chrome, like Safari, offers no support for Adobe's Flash player, or any other internet plugin.
Chrome is still in beta and only available for Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich right now. No doubt the release version will be even better still.
Likewise, Apple isn't slowing down. With iOS 5.1 on the horizon, Safari will improve as well.
Heck, now that BlackBerry has their new WebKit-based Torch browser, and Microsoft has embraced modern Internet Explorer builds on Windows Phone, it's getting harder to find a bad browser out there.
Check out the video below for full out web rendering showdown.

Chrome for Android vs. Safari for iPhone: Browser shootout
Pinch to zoom is still more fluid in Safari :P, but the Nexus S (I think it is) is obviously faster at loading times.
Never felt my iPhone 4 was slow until I saw the Nexus S in action, Android does look like it's going in the right direction, still would not give up my iPhone just yet but that moment might come if Android keeps going forward like this.
His wife has an iPhone 4s and no android central bookmark....hmmm
, looks like the wife is smart. ;D
Though not intended to show the difference, the difference in viewable content/readabilty is significant. Step up the screen size Apple.
This test is not realistic, and here's why. You typed in the URL into Chrome first, which was already in your address book, then you talked a bit before entering the URL into your wife's iPhone, then talked a bit and finally hit Go on both phones. However, what you and some readers may not realize is that Chrome was loading the page behind the scenes premptively even before you hit Go, which is why it seemed to be nearly instaneous. Don't get me wrong, I have been using Chrome on the desktop for years, since the early release. It is possible that Chrome may still be faster on Android then Safari on the iPhone, but I'd like to see a more realistic comparison that takes the facts into consideration, such as open an email and clink on a link after clearing the history and browser cache and making sure the browser isn't already loaded.
That's laggy huh? Good grief.
I own both EVO 3D and iPhone 4s. The simple truth is, a full website on iPhone is fruitless to use. If you Pinch Zoom, then you must scroll back and forth to read. That is terrible. On Android, the text word wraps, even if you zoom to max. Great on old eyes.
Unless I know I'm going to a mobile formatted site-- I don't use the iPhone for browsing.
Will word wrap ever be a part of Safari?
I think the true test should be using both browsers under normal conditions for 8-12 hours WITHOUT recharging and see which phone is still working.
Androids are great and 4G LTE is superfast, but you must be near a charger every 3-5 hours or else you are holding a very expensive paperweight. Some days I am away from home 16 hours and it is nice to know I don't have to worry about finding an outlet if I am not near one.
Hey, I don't know this. Thank you for this great article!
I just tried to hook up my iPhone to my tv with the Apple Component AV Cable and nothing happens. Only get sound, no video with the Hulu app. Anyone else try this?
Haha yeah I would think so! Report Pay that: 0
I noticed that a couple of the screen savers caused the crashes, I just removed them. As far as the slow running, these are pretty old programs ported over from the other *nix world and are not optimized to run on your more modern system, like the other screen savers are. There are lots of options for each of them, like frame rate adjustment, and various quality settings.

Should Barcelona make a move for CSKA Moscow keeper Akinfeev?
Do they need a new goalkeeper?
Is Akinfeev better than Valdes?
No I don't think so Valdes is still a quality though he never qualified for the national team. Though he tries out best out of best. I think Akinfeev can't replace Valdes but should be brought in for second choice keeper
i have seen valdes for many years and i dont think there is anything special about the guy. He would be seriously exposed in a more physical league. Akinfeev is as good as him if not better and i dont think he will settle for a secondary role.
But what we see is Valdes decency he might concede goals some stunners like Essien in WC. Though he is fit and fine so i don't think Barca would urge to get anything indeed Sergio Asenjo can be brought in who is considered next Iker
no lbr don;t you knoiw what happened to sergio asenjo? signed for big money last season, he flopped completely and his place in the squad was taken by another young goalie david de gea who has taken his place as the most promising young goalie in spain
Yes i can see that, Asenjo looks drunk with his eyes hehe, Though we remember he was highly rated in Euro 18 or Euro 21 who won Euro for Spain. Bojan was in the squad too
yep but those days are long gone. Last i heard he was being touted to anyone who was interested in givign athletico what they invested in him. Good chance that depor or villarreal might snatch him up.

Medications that can cause watery eyes include:
Watery eyes may be caused by several conditions. Any type of inflammation — infections, allergies, a foreign body or other irritants — can result in watery eyes.
The tear ducts don't produce tears, but rather carry away tears, similar to how a storm drain carries away rainwater. Tears normally drain into your nose through tiny openings (puncta) in the inner part of the lids near the nose. If a tear duct is blocked for any reason, you may experience watery eyes.
In infants, the most common cause of persistent watery eyes is a blocked or incompletely opened tear duct. The tears may dry out and appear crusty, but not necessarily due to infection. Within a few months, most blocked tear ducts in infants resolve on their own.
In children, common causes include:
Older adults
Older adults sometimes have a blocked tear duct. More commonly, the muscles that hold the inner part of the eyelid flat against the eyeball relax, which, in some cases, causes the surface of the eye to dry out, resulting in chronic irritation and watery eyes. In other people, the tears puddle up behind and overflow the lower eyelid.
Common causes of watery eyes include:
Less commonly, watery eyes may result from:

March is Colon Cancer Awareness Month and Elms Digestive encourages area residents to participate in preventative colon cancer screenings, particularly this month, to help build awareness for one of the leading cancers found in both men and women. With early detection and regular screening, colon cancer is 90 percent preventable.
Elms Digestive is setting a goal of scheduling the most new patient colonoscopies this March than ever before, with an emphasis on Friday, March 8, National Colon Cancer Screening Day. A colonoscopy is the only test that allows both detection and prevention. Local residents may schedule a colonoscopy by calling 843-797-6800 or by visiting www.elmsdigestive.com.
• Colon cancer is the third most common cancer, killing more than 50,000 people every year, while another 140,000 are diagnosed annually.
• While men and women are equally likely to suffer from colon cancer, there are certain risk factors that may increase the likelihood of diagnosis.
• Individuals 50 years of age and older are at an increased risk, as are smokers, inactive or obese individuals, and those with a personal or family history of bowel disease.
• African Americans are at higher risk for colon cancer and should begin regular screenings at age 45 and older.
Warning signs of colon cancer include sudden changes in bowel habits, recurring diarrhea or constipation, cramping or abdominal pain, unintended weight loss, or blood in the stool.
"Each March, Colon Cancer Awareness Month serves as a great reminder for individuals 50 years and older, or those with a family history of colon cancer, to be screened," said Dr. Greg Goodear. "With regular screenings, colon cancer, which is one of the leading cancers found in both men and women, can be detected early and treated quickly."
To learn more about Colon Cancer Awareness Month and preventative screenings, visit www.ccalliance.org and www.elmsdigestive.com.

Jon Martello's relentless libido has a comic math to it.
4 (out of five stars)
Director: Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Cast: Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Scarlett Johansson, Julianne Moore, Tony Danza
Rated: R for strong graphic sexual material and dialogue throughout, nudity, language and some drug use
Running time: 1 hour, 30 minutes
At the club, Jon (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) and his pals rate girls on a scale of one to "a dime." He keeps a weekly tally of both his conquests and his far more numerous — and to him more rewarding — porn-aided masturbations. And being a good Catholic boy, every Sunday, he counts up his sins and receives back from the priest his neat sum of Our Fathers and Hail Marys. (He recites them while working out.)
His life is a circle of replenishing lust, a ritual of superficial pleasure that adds up to robotic emptiness. Some like it hot; Jon ("Don," as in Don Juan, to his friends) needs it hot. Even his most attractive catches leave him unsatisfied, and he sneaks out of bed to his laptop. Real sex doesn't measure up to the fantasy of online pornography that lets him "lose himself."
But "Don Jon," the writing-directing debut of Gordon-Levitt, equals something quite substantial: a speedy little comedy about not just sex addiction but modern lives wasted on shallow gratification. There are other contemporary cravings, too: A big-screen TV dominates family meals at his parents' house (Tony Danza and Glenne Headly shouting back-and-forth like a sitcom couple), where Jon's younger sister (Brie Larson) pecks away at her smartphone.
Jon's compulsive routine (echoing the "gym-tan-laundry" of "the Situation" from "The Jersey Shore," a clear inspiration) is broken when he meets Barbara Sugarman (Scarlett Johansson, in full sex bomb). She requires the "long game" of dating and family-meeting before sleeping with Jon, but he judges her worth it. Their first date is a sparring match of Jersey accents, a dueling "Saturday Night Live" sketch.
When their relationship hits a road block (it involves both his porn addiction and, miraculously, Swiffer sweepers), Jon finds himself drawn to an older, less glamorous woman from his night class (Julianne Moore), who epitomizes everything Barbara isn't: unaffectedness over thick makeup; humor over self-seriousness; love over lust.
Until Moore fully enters the film, "Don Jon" is little more than a cartoon, albeit an entertaining one, constantly flashing the pornographic images that roil Jon's mind. Though the point is that Jon is a living cliche, it means the journey here is merely the awakening of a mannequin. (No offense intended to 1987's "Mannequin.")
But as an argument for life, itself, and all its pains and passions, you could hardly do better than Moore. For an actress of great naturalism, it's one of her most suited roles.
There's a growing output of movies to take up sex addiction and its digital stimulation, including Steve McQueen's grim but remarkable "Shame" and the recent, uneven "Thanks for Sharing." "Don Jon" is a lark, but an enjoyable one with a full-hearted finale, and it further reveals the considerable talents of Gordon-Levitt.
With Jerry Lewis eyebrows and boundless energy, he has already showed his varied skills in "50/50," "Looper" and, not least of all, as a manic host on the aforementioned "SNL." That he can also, in his first time out, make a modern parable about a New Jersey lothario with a little Catholic satire thrown in, suggests his range is greater still.

The Walking Dead
The Walking Dead Season 3 Spoilers on Episode 13: Rick, Governor Meeting to Be "Very Surprising"
We're 12 episodes into The Walking Dead Season 3 and Rick (Andrew Lincoln) and The Governor (David Morrissey) have yet to meet face to face. That changes this Sunday, March 10 with Episode 13, "Arrow on the Doorpost."
Not too long ago, David Morrissey talked to SFX Magazine about the second half of Season 3. "What I've liked about the season so far is that it's full of surprises," David told the mag. "Obviously the stars might be aligned for Rick and the Governor to have some sort of meeting, but maybe the show will shoot that in a very surprising way. I think it's not going to give you what you want in the way that you want it, and I think that's what I've enjoyed in the second half of the season."
The actor continued, to Access Hollywood, "I think the main thing to say about that is what the show has done in the last half of the season is been full of surprises and twists and turns and I think people have been pleasantly surprised about how the show develops, and it'll carry on in that way. So the meeting that I think you're expecting – it might have a little bit of an edge to it or something different anyway. It won't be exactly the meeting you were hoping for."
Andy Lincoln also told Access Hollywood, "There is a face-off coming. The writers have done a terrific job in just making a few twists and turns that you wouldn't anticipate."
Surprises. Twists and turns. Not getting what we want in the way that we want it. What do you make of that? How do you think the big meeting will go down?

Friday, July 11, 2014
The Medical University of South Carolina College of Nursing has announced that it will begin to offer an online Registered Nurse to Bachelor of Science in nursing (RN to BSN) degree program beginning this fall.
Applications for the program are currently being accepted through July 15, 2014, and can be accessed at https://www.applyweb.com/musc/index.html.
This is an exciting time as we embark on new endeavors to advance our nurses professionally, said Gail W. Stuart PhD, RN, FAAN, dean and distinguished university professor at MUSCs College of Nursing. With changes in health care, we need a nursing work force that is continually growing, learning and assuming new roles in patient care.
The RN to BSN program will enable nurses to pursue the advanced training required in a growing number of hospitals as well as assume leadership roles and increase their earning potential while balancing work and other life obligations. Health care has becoming increasingly complex, and health care organizations, as well as the federal government, are calling for baccalaureate prepared nurses.
The online program can be completed in one academic year and consists of three full-time semesters. Students who meet the programs admission criteria and have the prerequisites for admission will complete 10 courses over 12 months that will provide a foundation for professional nursing practice.

An Independence man has been charged with malicious wounding after an altercation in Woodlawn on Feb. 13.
According to Carroll County Sheriff J.B. Gardner, Harley David Phillips, 33, has been charged with malicious wounding after getting into an altercation with Mark Anthony Bobbitt, 46, of Galax. Gardner said Carroll County Sheriff's Office Cpl. Barry Lineberry responded to a call at Larrowe's Apartments on Farmers' Market Road at approximately 4:04 p.m. after receiving a report of an individual who was bloody and unresponsive.
"There he met Harley Phillips, who indicated he and another man were in a pretty good fight. They exchanged some blows," Gardner said. "Bobbitt was transported to Galax for treatment and then sent from there to another hospital. He was sent to Winston-Salem (N.C.) I believe, but I can't verify that at this time."
Phillips was arrested and taken to New River Valley Regional Jail, Gardner said. The Sheriff said Phillips was checked by Carroll County EMS, but didn't need medical attention. Bobbitt was transported by Carroll County EMS, he said.

the person who received the gift has a good set of Taylor made golf clubs and the putter just didn't size up to what they were needing. Ended up giving it to my husband and my son is purchasing another Taylor made. He also said he prefers to try out putters before purchasing and if he tried this one out, we wouldn't be able to return it so he just didn't even try it. He first said it didn't matter on putters what brand then after getting this one he changed his mind and said he prefered to stay with Taylor made and even getting a used one so he could try it out before purchasing.

Dr. John Wall, the interim pastor at First Presbyterian Church, arrived there early Sunday morning and as he looked around the sanctuary, pondered the miracles that God can bring.
Soon, he and his white congregation would be joined by the Rev. Robert Heflin and the black members of Hayden Baptist Church.
Just over five months ago, the Hayden church was destroyed by fire. Wall's new friend had suggested never to take a church building for granted.
Yet Heflin and his congregation have worked to overcome their obstacles. On Sunday morning, he and Wall clasped hands warmly on the pulpit of First Presbyetieran Church and led the service as one – preaching the joy of brotherhood and of the Christmas and New Year's season.
The Hayden church has served as a beloved 144-year-old home to countless families since the 19th century. Since then, Heflin and his flock have found locations at Smith-Hazel Recreation Center and Aiken Electric Cooperative.
When they needed a home for December, First Presbyterian reached out – as its members had wanted to do in some way since the summer.
Heflin and his congregation chose to use the Presbyterian Church's family life center for the earlier services this month. They readily agreed to the invitation of Wall and others to attend the regular church service Sunday.
"They've been through such a trauma," Wall said. "At Christmas and New Year's Day, and to wax metaphorically, why wouldn't we get together? It's a new day."
Hayden Baptist Church will return to Aiken Electric Cooperative soon, as its members await a new church facility on Beaufort Street. They have no intention of forgetting their new friends.
"I cannot say enough about Pastor Wall and First Presbyterian," Heflin said. "They have been so kind and so generous to us. We have a bond now that will never be broken. This service is a great way to close out the year. I teared up one time, thanking God about the awesomeness of this church."
Hayden's choir and First Presbyterian's band shared music opportunities – a festive event they would like to repeat. John Gordon, a band member, said he and Hayden's music director, Mario Johnson, work for the same company and enjoyed the chance to bring their gospel and praise music to the combined congregations.
"This is unique and a blessing," Gordon said. "They have a liveliness to their music, and the blending was just beautiful."
At Hayden Baptist, Benjamin Jenkins has been a choir member since he was 11, some 20 years ago.
"Our fire was devastating," he said, "but it makes me feel great to be here in this church. I'm excited to share fellowship. It's what God wants us to do."
The First Presbyterian Church has experienced so many memorable services over the years, said member Will Callicott. Yet he recalls no other Sunday like this one.
"We were able to help another church in need, but for all to show up in force in this way is so special," Callicott said. "I'm proud to be a part of a church that reaches out and uses its facilities in this way. As Rev. Heflin said, 'We're all children of God.'"
Gwen Johnson, a longtime educator, has been part of Hayden Baptist Church throughout her life. She acknowledged that the fire and the overwhelming dismay since then have been difficult.
"Yet we do see God in this, and that has been a blessing, one after another," Johnson said. "What are the chances we would have had worship with this wonderful congregation if it hadn't been for that fire? I choose not to see the downside, because God is leading us."

Other Opportunities
Too often, Grinnell students tell us that they wish they'd gotten off campus more often before their last year. A small community like Grinnell depends on the energy and vitality (and spending!) of students as well as year-round residents. Let us know if you have a great idea for encouraging students to explore the town. Some efforts supported by this office include:
- Free access to the City Pool. Students staying in Grinnell over the summer can show a current student ID for free admission to the Grinnell Mutual Family Aquatic Center. More information about the pool is located at: http://www.grinnelliowa.gov/index.aspx?nid=161
- Discounted Admission to the Strand Theater (Excludes 3D Showings). Students, faculty and staff can purchase discounted Strand Theater movie passes at the Spencer Grill, the downtown Pioneer Bookshop and the Bookstore on campus. For current movies and cinema information, visit: http://fridleytheatres.com/grinnell.html
- Buy Local Shopping Guide. Together with the Chamber of Commerce, we've developed a list of "back-to-school" items that students can buy right here in Grinnell. By shopping local, you help support our rural economy.
- Drawings for Free Theater Tickets. The college is a regular supporter of local school and Arts Council productions by purchasing groups of tickets which we make available to students, faculty and staff with drawings. The tickets always go fast, and students seem to enjoy the opportunity to get off campus.
- Student Perspective Walking Tour of Downtown Grinnell. This brochure was used on Family Weekend 2013 to provide parents with a student perspective of downtown Grinnell: Student Perspective Walking Tour
- Living Off-Campus: A Resource Guide for Grinnell College Students. This brochure will serve as a resource for all students who are considering Living off campus: A resource Guide for Grinnell College Students.
Faculty and Staff Engagement
Volunteer Initiative Program (VIP) For Employees
…Give With Time
The Volunteer Initiative Program was formalized in 1999 because Grinnell College understands that students, faculty and staff have a tremendous impact on the quality of life in our area through the time and energy that they invest in community activities. For every employee who contributes 20 hours of volunteer time to a community organization, Grinnell College grants $100 to that organization of choice. Encouraging employee volunteerism in the local community is consistent with the College's mission, values and commitment to the community. This program encourages employees to volunteer in those projects that they feel most passionate about while allowing them to direct some of the College's contributions at the same time.

Sponsored organizations are required to verify employee participation. The local community is not limited to Grinnell but includes the surrounding area, Des Moines and Iowa City.
Exclusions: Generally, the program does not support: Individuals, business ventures, organizations without IRS 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status that are not governments, organizations that limit membership and services based on race, religion, color, creed, sex, sexual orientation, age or national origin, requests for loans or debt retirements, civic/labor/sorority/fraternal groups, political organizations and projects or organizations that might in any way pose a conflict with the mission, goals or programs of Grinnell College.

Payroll Deduction Program
...Give With Money
Giving through Payroll Deduction is a great way to make a gift to the organizations that make a difference in Grinnell and our local communities.
One employee's experience
"I'm surprised more faculty and staff don't take advantage of payroll deductions for their contributions to local causes. At the end of each year, I determine how much I want to give to organizations and charities here in Grinnell, divide it by 12, and send in my payroll deduction form for monthly contributions. The College does the rest. I know my gifts are made regularly and I don't have to budget for them in a lump sum throughout the year. Try it! I think you'll like it. It's a win for everyone."
-- Lesley Wright, Director of Faulconer Gallery; Lecturer in Art.
The Payroll Deduction Program was formalized in 2006 as a convenience to employees and a courtesy to local area charities. By spreading your donation over the course of a year, Payroll Deduction simplifies the giving process and makes it easier to budget for larger donations.
The Grinnell College Payroll Department will distribute your pledge over 12 months, beginning in January and ending in December. Keeping on a one-year cycle makes it possible for Grinnell College Payroll to provide this service for our employees. If you make a pledge after January, your pledge will be spread out over the remaining months of the year. If you would like to make a pledge for longer than 12 months, you will need to renew your pledge each calendar year.
Organizations Supported
To make this program manageable for our payroll department, this program directs funding to a limited number of local non-profits that do work in our local area.
How to Authorize a Deduction Plan
1) Choose the organization(s) and fund(s) to which you would like to donate. Designate the amount of your contribution for each on the 2015 Pledge Form.
2) Carefully review and sign your pledge form (pages 9-11).
3) Return your pledge form to the Office of Community Enhancement & Engagement. The Office of Community Enhancement & Engagement will direct your pledge form to the receiving organization(s) and the Grinnell College payroll department.
***DEADLINE: To ensure that your pledge begins in January, please return your signed pledge form by December 19, 2014. If you make a pledge after January, your pledge will be distributed over the remaining months of the year.
5) Watch your paycheck for the deductions to begin. Deductions will begin with the paycheck following the time when your pledge form is received. Again, if you have questions about how your pledge is being processed, copies of your paperwork will be available in the Office of Community Enhancement & Engagement.
6) Get your questions answered. Please direct your questions to:
- General program questions: Community Enhancement & Engagement – phone: 269-3900 or email: CommunityEnhance[at]grinnell[dot]edu
- Details on the payments you've had deducted and scheduled for the future: Payroll Department
- Details on prior year pledge amounts and receiving organizations: Community Enhancement & Engagement – phone: 269-3900 or email: CommunityEnhance[at]grinnell[dot]edu
