Pretty cool looking, but I'll stick with Apple Maps. Despite all the hype, Apple Maps has worked perfectly for me since it was released!

I had a Navigon stand alone unit for quite awhile. I loved the interface, and I'd love to give the app a try.

Today was Michael's 9 month check up - even though he'll be 10 mos on Saturday.
He is now 14 lbs 8 ounces (naked), 25 1/2 inches long, head is 44 inches....he's not on the charts at all for height/weight yet..25th percentile for head. He just started sitting up on his own last week - but not yet pulling himself up, etc.
We have a follow up hearing test to see IF he might need a hearing aid to help with his loss in his right ear. Tomorrow we go for a free eval for his head just to see how his head shape is - his "soft spot" is closing correctly but his shape might be off, flat in the back a bit and ears are a bit off. Have to contact our Birth to 3 program for free eval regarding PT, his hip muscles are a bit underdeveloped tone wise which makes him a bit wobbly when he sits still. So we'll see IF he needs any additional help. He got a flu shot, second dose in the next month or two (when they get them in) and the H1N1 when it comes in as well. Passed annual eye test. Must do 2 Pulmicourt nebulizer treatments per day to keep the bronchial airway open.
Dh and I realize that Michael is probably more than 8 weeks behind with some motor skills - pulling himself up, standing up, moving into a sit position...granted he was 8 weeks early but he was a small 32 weeker so he's probably any where from 2-3 mos behind. To me, as long as his brain development seems to be fine and he's healthy..well, he'll catch up. I
'm not worried about any one thing, my focus is on making sure his head grows correctly and his hearing is okay (he's had 3 ear infections now) and his asthma is under control.
I can't get over in 2 1/2 mos he'll be 1 already!
Here are a few pics.
Sitting in his boppy!

- how do I get the auger out of the meat grinder attachment?
- The manufacturer's manual says the following on page 3 for assembling the auger onto the food mill, so you would need to reverse these directions for removal. If you want to follow along visually, feel free to open the manual on the product page.
"Insert the grind worm (A) into the grinder body (B). Place the knife (C) over the
square shank at the exposed end of the grind worm. Place grinding plate (D) over
the knife, matching the tabs of the plate with the notches of the grinder body. Place
ring (E) on grinder body, turning by hand until secured but not over tightened.
Note: Use wrench (F) for removal only, do not use to tighten ring."
- Do you find this question helpful? Yes No
- From at 10/23/12 2:19 PM
- Will this grinder attachment work to grined up deer meat.
- I copied the following from the manual, so it appears that the FGA Kitchenaid Food Grinder attachment will work just fine for venison.
"Cut food into small strips or pieces
and feed them into hopper. Meat
should be cut into long narrow strips.
Turn mixer to Speed 4 and feed food
into hopper using food pusher. Never
put your fingers in the hopper."
"Coarse Plate — Use for grinding
raw or cooked meats, firm vegetables,
dried fruits and cheese.
Fine Plate — Use for grinding raw
meat, cooked meats for spreads and
bread for crumbs.
Grinding Meat — For better mix
and more tender results, grind beef
twice. Best texture results from grinding
very cold or partially frozen meat.
Fatty meats should be ground only
However, if you are a hunter, and processing a whole deer at a time, you may be wanting something more heavy duty. Check out the LEM meat grinders at http://www.everythingkitchens.com/lem_meat_processing_products.html#meatgrinders. I hope this helps!

Kitchenaid Food Grinder attachment....... Review by Guest
We love our meat grinder.....about the bread crumb person, if you read the instructions.....you are to dry the bread completely first......we made our own sausage and used the fine grinding part....it was smushy, but I loved that....we added lots of herbs and made a smushed tightly sealed patty of sausage.....it was so lean we had to add a tiny bit of olive oil.......Now we can eat with out nitrates and it worked slowly alone as I trimed up the sale priced pork chops..............we love it and will try grinding up meat for some stews...can't wait to do that too.......:) (Posted on 1/9/13)
Kitchenaid Food Grinder Attachment Review by Guest
Grinding meat takes forever. It 'mushes' rather than grinds.
I ground some dried bread into breadcrumbs and later found a lot of plastic from the screw in them.
I don't recommend this item. (Posted on 12/22/11)
Kitchen Aid Grinder Review by Guest
I couldn't be more pleased with the Kitchenaid Food Grinder. Well made and easy to use and clean. Have been making my own ground beef and bulk sausage for several weeks now and there is no comparison to what is available at the supermarket. I love knowing exactly what is going into the food we eat. The only thing missing, according to my husband, are the bits of bones and cartilage. (Posted on 8/18/11)

I purchased my food grinder as a gift, but I am sold on Kitchenaid having two mixers and a 16 cup & 12 cup food processors with most of the attachments. I have used my food grinder to make hundreds of pounds of bratwurst and a variety of other sausages. (Posted on 5/11/11)

Today I came across with a piece of equipment that may help you get a toner body… especially your abs.
Usually I don't like ab machines, but this seems interesting.
Mainly for those that don't have a lot of time to workout…
I'm talking about Flex Belt.
The unique built of this machine features 3 pre-positioned, medical-grade Gel Pads, covering the central abdominal muscles and external obliques. Signals from the belt reach out to nerves where they are most concentrated. These nerves branch out to reach all the abdominal muscles causing them to relax and contract naturally, working all the muscles at the same time. Check out these Flex Belt reviews.
Here are some positive aspects:
- FDA cleared for toning, strengthening and firming abdominal muscles
- Medical grade abdominal toning technology
- Clinically demonstrated results (100% of users said their abs felt more toned and firm; 92.3% of users felt the firmness of their abdominal muscles increased)

Brian Felster (1963-2011): A friend to the artsWritten by John Dorsey | | firstname.lastname@example.com
How will you be remembered? For any artist, for any person really, there is the question of legacy. It is a question that has been on my mind a lot during the past few days with the sudden passing of Collingwood Arts Center Interim Executive Director Brian K. Felster.
Brian collapsed Oct. 29 while preparing for a Collingwood Arts Center (CAC) event and was taken to Saint V's, where he was pronounced dead at around 6 p.m. He was 48 years old.
As I sat there in the hospital surrounded by Brian's friends and family one of my first thoughts was, how would people remember him? Then I answered my own question — they would remember him as a friend to the arts.
I knew Brian before he ever worked at the CAC; we first met at a party where he was surrounded by younger artists, offering humor and encouragement to the next generation. A little while later, in the summer of 2005, Brian left the corporate job he had been working for nearly 20 years to work with artists full time as the CAC program director.
It was in that position that he helped put together countless concerts, art exhibits and community events. It was a position he kept out of love for all arts — at about one-quarter of his former paycheck and at great cost to his own artistic ambitions. In addition to his life as an arts administrator, Brian was a skilled photographer and graphic designer. He set much of that aside while volunteering the bulk of his free time to the CAC.
So great was his love for the arts, that in August 2010, he stepped up to serve as interim executive director. Almost immediately he helped to broaden the scope of what could be accomplished, leading to a number of great events such as the CAC Raceway Park fundraiser, multiple appearances by Grammy Award-winning pianist George Winston, a pair of original plays by high school student Opal S.L. Dunlap, the Zygote in My Fez poetry festival, Thosefellas Teen Summit and a recent show by famed comedian Heywood Banks.
He also worked tirelessly to get the CAC involved with the larger community, promoting the S.T.A.R. Project, a student outreach program created by former executive director Audrey Johnson, which brought local artists into classrooms in many underserved communities.
The future looked bright. In the weeks before his death, Brian brought the CAC together with The One Story Project, a nonprofit student outreach group focused on education through filmmaking.
Less than an hour before his death, we were joking and talking about upcoming events as if it were any other Saturday, and it was — just another day for Brian doing what he loved.
Since his death, my phone hasn't stopped ringing, but what gets me most is the outpouring of love for this man who touched everyone he met with a chuckle, a smile and a generosity of spirit that won't soon be forgotten.
I will always remember how he encouraged me and Michael Grover to help keep the CAC open mic going, not because it made money, which it certainly didn't, but because it was something he felt the community couldn't afford to lose. Most of all I will remember my friend, always up for a late-night conversation, an off-color joke and for finding and nurturing the next generation of artistic talent.
Originally from Fair Haven, Mich., Brian was born March 4, 1963. He studied at Macomb Community College and Owens Community College. He is survived by the world, as well as his family and friends. Our hearts are a better place because he was in them.
As the arts scene in Toledo mourns his passing, I'll just say one thing: "Velvet" Felster, you will be missed.
John Dorsey resides in Toledo's Old West End. His work is widely published and he has been nominated several times for the Pushcart Prize.

Wants to stop road project
I am very concerned about the planned S.C. Department of Transportation project to widen Hitchcock Parkway.
This project will isolate our neighborhood of Houndslake North from the Country Club side. It will make the properties on White Marsh Road, Troon Way and Deerwood less valuable because the traffic will be so much closer. The same applies to properties on the north side abutting the road. Most importantly, in my opinion, it will desecrate a beautiful scenic drive and byway through Hitchcock Woods, the crown jewel of Aiken. We moved here for the rural character of the area. This will create the same urbanization that occurred on East Pine Log Road. I hope we can stop this project.
What can the residents do to stop this? How do we let the City Council know of our concern?

The majority, but not all of our First Baptist Oviedo Small Groups are held on either Sunday or Wednesday.
Small Groups at First Baptist Oviedo provide a wonderful environment for adults to connect with God and others. Regardless of your age or your walk in life you'll find our Small Groups are a place to get to know others and grow together with friends. We have Small Groups for men, women, and couples at a variety of schedule options at 8:00, 9:15 and 10:50 a.m.
Our adult Small Groups meet weekly and are all taught by men and women who focus on teaching the Bible interactively and for life application. Members and guests are allowed to participate at their own comfort level and can be assured that they will be valued and encouraged. Those who regularly attend adult Small Groups discover that their spiritual growth is strengthened and challenged as they learn to walk by the principles of the Bible.
Although Sunday morning adult small groups are only one hour in length, our classes plan numerous gatherings outside the church for fun and fellowship. Also, our classes are actively involved in service ministries in the church and our community as well as caring ministry to one another especially during times of crisis such as hospitalization, loss of job, and family issues.
In addition to Sunday Small Groups, our Wednesday evening classes offer adults more options for Bible study. These dynamic adult discipleship groups are designed for your personal spiritual development and to equip you with life skills. Class options vary from verse-by-verse Bible studies to topical Bible studies on leadership training, parenting, marriage enrichment, personal financial management, personal evangelism, life perspectives, and prayer.
Classes are offered for men, women, and couples and meet at both 6:00 and 7:00 p.m. Classes vary in duration from 4 to 12 weeks and provide an excellent environment for Christian growth.

Performance painter David Garibaldi will entertain at Jamie Farr Toledo ClassicWritten by Vicki L. Kroll | | firstname.lastname@example.com
Give David Garibaldi a black canvas, a few cans of latex paint, some brushes and music and watch him dance and dazzle as he creates a portrait of someone famous — in about seven minutes.
His colorful portrayals include Michael Jackson, Bono, Rihanna, Jesus, John Lennon, Jay-Z, Albert Einstein and Marilyn Monroe.
"It can take anywhere from a few hours to a few weeks learning a portrait," Garibaldi said. "I start by finding a really, really distinctive image of the person and then trying to bring it to life. And then I put those together and sort of figure out if I can make it entertaining."
Millions across the country have been entertained by his high energy and enthusiasm on "America's Got Talent." He's a semifinalist with his act, David Garibaldi and His CMYK's.
Garibaldi will bring his "Rhythm and Hue" show to the SeaGate Centre on Aug. 7 at 6 p.m. for the Hollywood Casino Gala Dinner and Show, which will also feature comedian Tom Dreesen. Tickets to the charity fundraiser are $235 and available by calling the Jamie Farr Toledo Classic tournament office at (419) 531-3277.
"I have to credit Mr. [Shawn] Sullivan, my animation teacher at Sheldon High School [in Sacramento], for coming up with ['Rhythm and Hue,']" Garibaldi said. "It just described everything, like who I am and where I was, where I'm going with the show — it's music and color."
It was 2003 when the former graffiti artist saw a painting of Jimi Hendrix by Denny Dent, known for his "two-fisted art attack" while capturing rock stars on canvas.
"I was inspired because I could see what was possible, what I could do with all these life passions," Garibaldi said of art, music and dance. "So literally the next day, I started trying to figure out, OK, how do I do this now?"
Since putting it all together, the 30-year-old has opened for Snoop Dogg and the Blue Man Group. While music plays by the subjects of his paintings, he also is accompanied by DJ Joseph ONE and drummer Walt Williams.
During a phone interview from Minneapolis, Garibaldi said he's heard from some of the artists he's painted, including Kanye West, Rihanna and Carlos Santana.
"Some of them have shared videos of me creating their portrait on Twitter, on Facebook or they've at least sent their acknowledgement over social media. It's definitely been cool to get those responses," he said.
Garibaldi is also known for giving. In the past 10 years, he has raised more than $1 million for several organizations, including the Special Olympics, Echoes of Hope and World Vision.
"Art and music are powerful because as artists, we can take materials that are only a few hundred dollars in value and we can create something on them or with them and turn them into something with thousands of dollars of value, and that money can go and help a lot of different people that can use it, that really need it," he said.
"My passion is painting, and I think you can change painting in that phrase with anything, whether it's teaching, writing, whether it's working at the local grocery store — whatever you do, you can do with passion. And when you apply a purpose behind it, I think that's when it becomes something more than, to me, just painting — I'm helping change lives."

WACO (January 5, 2012) - Gatesville's Kyle Cooper and La Vega's Willie Williams will coach the red and blue teams respectively in the 5th annual FCA Victory Bowl.
Cooper and Williams are no strangers to one another. They've coached against each other in the same district in the past, and played this past season in a non-district game when Gatesville was realigned to a different district.
Both are excited to be named head coaches in the victory bowl.
"I believe in what FCA stands for. The Fellowship of Christian Athletes is a great organization so just to be able to be a part of it and be able to minister to kids in this community through it is a great honor," said Cooper.
"It's a great honor to be thought of as far as representing the FCA in this particular type of activity and it's a lot of fun. It's a great honor just to be able to do this," said Williams.
The game is scheduled for Saturday, June 15. Kickoff is set for 6:30 PM.

Arizona Cardinals
Grantland talks about 'revolving door' Cardinals have at QB
The Arizona Cardinals' quarterback issues have become a national punchline of sorts.
Bill Barnwell of Grantland.com, which is the somewhat comical side of ESPN run by Bill Simmons, wrote a story on Week 11 in the NFL, with the headline "Arizona's Revolving QB Door."
According to Barnwell, a 'point probability estimator' figured the Cardinals should have scored 24 against the Falcons, so the 19 they came up with was certainly a disappointment.
Especially, you know, when you factor in a good running game, solid special teams play and the six turnovers Arizona came up with.
Why were the Cardinals unable to produce on those drives? Well, you can probably start with the decision made by Ken Whisenhunt to bench starter John Skelton. Benching the inaccurate Skelton isn't unwise in a vacuum, but consider the circumstances surrounding the benching. Arizona was coming off their bye week, giving them a two-week stretch where they chose to do nothing about Skelton's middling play and continued to give the former Fordham quarterback the first-team reps in practice. Yet after a 2-for-7 start at the beginning of the game against Atlanta, Whisenhunt chose to bench Skelton � who had a 13-0 lead at the time � for rookie sixth-rounder Ryan Lindley, who proceeded to go for 9-for-20 for 64 yards while losing a fumble that was recovered for a (bizarre) touchdown.
Barnwell says Whisenhunt's move to bench Skelton was "short-sighted on both ends."
For one, benching Skelton after seven passes without an interception is absurd. If Whisenhunt is going to cycle through his quarterbacks on whims that quickly, he's going to end up with three quarterbacks who have absolutely no confidence, something that has happened to him and his team in virtually every season that didn't involve Kurt Warner holding the job all year. And if Skelton's leash was really only seven bad passes long, Whisenhunt should have realized that before the bye and made the move to Lindley in advance, giving the rookie a week of practice (and two weeks of mental preparation) before unleashing him into a key game on the road against a playoff team.
Those are all fair points, as the move to Lindley backfired and one could believe sticking with Skelton would have resulted in a win Sunday.
As the article notes, the cumulative stats of quarterbacks picked in the sixth or seventh rounds when playing as rookies are bad (434-for-819, 4,082 yards, 21 touchdowns, 40 interceptions), so it's not as if it would have been fair to expect Lindley to perform at a high level. Add in the fact that he probably didn't receive the starter's share of reps in practice last week, and you have a recipe for anything but success.
Ultimately the decision contributed to a loss, which was the Cardinals sixth in a row. The team's record has plummeted from 4-0 to 4-6, and there is little hope on the horizon, even if Kevin Kolb returns to the lineup soon.
Their hot streak roughly coincided with the time Kevin Kolb spent in the lineup before getting injured, but don't get correlation and causation confused. Had Kolb stayed healthy, Whisenhunt would probably have found a reason to bench him, too. If this once-promising Arizona season continues to fall apart � la last year's Buccaneers or Bills and Whisenhunt ends up paying for it with his job, his inability to handle the quarterback position will have been his downfall.
Could be.

Texas Aggies are still celebrating their Friday victory at the Cotton Bowl and some are even suggesting some new notoriety for Johnny Manziel.
J Cody's Steaks and Barbecue Restaurant put a sign up last month encouraging Johnny Football to run for Mayor!
It's been getting a lot of attention after the Aggie Football team made an incredible start their first season in the Southeastern Conference.
Restaurant owner Cody Whitten says he's had lots of great feedback from the sign.
"It's just something to kind of go along with all the excitement in town that Johnny Manziel, that Coach Sumlin and his staff have created. It's a level of excitement that we haven't seen in a long, long time and it's just something fun to do," said Whitten.
News 3 also spoke with Bryan Mayor Jason Bienski who'd heard about the sign and thinks it's great.
He said he'd like to invite Manziel to be honorary mayor of the day in Bryan and encourages him to run for office.
But Bienski would like to see him continue to play at A&M before hopefully joining the NFL after graduating, he said.

Chattanooga at Belmont
Nashville, Tenn.
Wednesday - Nov. 15, 2012
Head Coach Wes Moore
Opening thoughts on the game:
"I liked our effort again. Technique-wise, we are still not doing some things defensively that we want to do. We have to get everybody to buy in. We got some points offensively, but we have to get everybody to buy in defensively and get them to do what we want them to do. I like the fact that we got some turnovers. I like the fact that everybody contributed and everybody brought something to the table."
On games coming quickly this time of year:
"This being a road game, tomorrow we are going to have to do some things. Tomorrow we will watch film and we will shoot and walk-through, maybe lift weights. We will try not to be too hard on them physically so we can be ready to go on Saturday."
On the play of the younger players:
"Destiny played well. She has been practicing well. She hit five out of five free throws. She had a set play where she downed a three. Tatiana played a great game. That is what Tatiana can bring to the table. She knocked down some threes and shot the ball extremely well. Four steals, she can get in the passing lanes."
On earning playing time in practice:
"I want to play a lot of people. I want to go to our bench and continue to create depth, but you have to earn it. We are not going to just give it to you and play you just because you are here."
On the play of Taylor Hall and Ka'Vonne Townes:
"Taylor is just playing phenomenally. I only played her 20 minutes tonight - she is probably mad at me. I wanted to get some other people out there - Ka'Vonne Townes. Ka'Vonne brings another dimension when she is out there. I thought defensively she made some plays. She knocked down a three also and got six boards, so she brings something to the table. It was a well-balanced attack."

Wednesday, January 23, 2013
Goose Creek City Council passed a smoking ban at its Jan. 8 meeting.
The passage was the second and final reading of the ordinance; the first reading passed in December, and all councilmembers and the mayor voted the same last week as they did at the first reading.
The smoking ban will go into effect July 1, according to a unanimous council vote that followed a more contentious vote on the ban itself, which had no set date.
Council voted 4-3 in favor of the ban. Councilmembers Jerry Tekac, Franklin Moore, Mark Phillips and Kimo Esarey voted in favor. Councilmembers Marguerite Brown, John McCants and Mayor Michael Hetizler voted against the ban.
"This ordinance is overstepping the responsibility of city government," Heitzler said. "We're not the Department of Health and Environmental Control. We don't have a health department. We need to get city council's nose out of private business."
A total of 19 citizens spoke before comments were limited to councilmembers.
One citizen suggested tabling the ordinance until it could be put to a public referendum during the next city election in April 2014.
Another citizen read a letter from the Sapphire's Sports Bar and Grill owner, who could not be at the meeting but is against the ban for fear it will hurt the business, a smoking establishment. The letter points out the ban targets about 10 businesses, which are all local.
A handful of doctors and medical professionals spoke in favor of the ban, citing the obvious health problems caused by smoking and when second-hand smoke is forced on others.
Some spoke in favor of the ban because they have children with asthma and cannot go to smoking establishments.
Those against the ban mostly spoke of infractions of rights of business owners and citizens to make their own decisions. Some said the smoking ban would put smoking establishments out of business.
Dr. Richard Hernandez said smoking pollutes the air of everyone. He also pointed out that 50 communities in South Carolina have enacted smoking bans. Those include Summerville, Charleston, Charleston County and Mt. Pleasant. North Charleston allows smoking.
Several citizens who spoke said they are former smokers, many of whom are still against the ban.
One female ex-smoker said the 50 communities in the state that passed smoking bans have not rescinded them because they have not affected business.
One citizen said smoking bans force smokers to stand outside in the cold and forces hostility on them that builds resentment. "It would be best if we let capitalism decide," the citizen said.
"If we have a ban on outdoor burning why don't we have a ban on smoking inside?" another asked.
"Tobacco is a legal product," one man said. "So are Big Macs. Eating too many of those isn't good for you. Too much cheap perfume, belligerent drunks – it's something we have to put up with."
Other citizens said they'd like to eat the good food they hear some bars have but say they can't go there due to the amount of smoking.
Councilman Phillips made a motion to adopt the ordinance. Moore made a second.
"I guess we get criticized for listening too much," Phillips said, adding that his main concern is for employees. "We've made all kinds of decisions here tonight that have not gone up for referendum."
Phillips said in his 26 years on council he's heard more comments in the last two months on the smoking ban than any other issue.
Speaking of the Crowfield Golf and Country Club exemption, Tekac said there would be no smoking in the clubhouse, the pro shop or the grill.
"Tobacco is legal," Tekac said. "So is alcohol. We have rules that protect our residents against people who abuse alcohol … when you abuse alcohol or tobacco you put others at risk."
"I'm accountable for my choice," Brown said. "I feel it's my responsibility to look out for you. I don't want someone driving drunk but I can't stop it. That's taking away your right to make a choice."

In the wake of the Newtown, Conn., shootings, parents at one Montgomery County elementary school are asking for more security for their children, and they want it immediately.
At least 21 letters from parents and grandparents of students at Bradley Hills Elementary School were emailed to Montgomery County Public Schools Superintendent Joshua P. Starr, the Board of Education and the County Council last week asking for �security improvements� at the Bethesda school�s temporary location.
�Our school has no security system in place and our front door remains unlocked throughout the school day with no mechanism for screening visitors,� they wrote.
MCPS spokesman Dana Tofig said the parents� claims are not entirely true. Starr was not available for comment.
The school is now temporarily housed at the Radnor Center, while its facility is being modernized, which is scheduled to be complete by August.
Tofig said he could not comment on a specific school�s security plan, but said that steps are taken to protect students.
�Staff at the school are trained and drills are conducted,� he wrote in an email. �All doors other than the main entrance are supposed to be kept locked during the school day. There is signage on the front door instructing all visitors to report to the main office.�
One parent, Robert Sitrick, wrote in his letter that it seems �incredible� that there is a school �full of children with no locks on the door or other screening procedures.�
�None of us would ever dream of leaving our kids in an unlocked home, even in the best of neighborhoods,� Sitrick wrote.
On Dec. 14, a gunman entered Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown and killed 20 children and six staff members. He had previously shot his mother, and after the carnage, took his own life.
Before the tragedy, the Bradley Hills� PTA surveyed parents and found they were concerned about safety, said Sitrick, a PTA safety committee member.
Having raised the issue before, Sitrick said the answer from the school system has consistently been that budgets are constrained and security upgrades are planned for the future.
Tofig said all elementary schools and �holding facilities,� like Radnor, are scheduled to receive security upgrades by the end of next school year. By the end of this school year, all but 21 of MCPS�s elementary schools will have new systems, he said.
Software and equipment to sign in and monitor all visitors during the school day will be added to the schools, allowing staff to scan a visitor�s driver�s license or identification card and cross reference the visitors� names with state and local sex offender registries, according to school system capital documents provided by Tofig.
Surveillance cameras will be added at front entrances and will work with a remote entry system that provides office staff the ability to remotely grant access from the main office. Each elementary school will have the system installed at the main entrance and at a designated secondary entrance, according to the documents.
But as the Radnor Center waits its turn for upgraded security, most parents who wrote asked for an immediate change or something in place by the time students return to classrooms on Jan. 2.
Specifically, parents asked to have the location on Radnor Road included in any plans for a security upgrade, to front funds to install security at the school and to have it in place before students return on Wednesday.
The interim solution sought by parents does not have to be expensive or high tech, Sitrick said.
A simple lock and buzzer on the front door or even someone to watch the door all day would help, he said.
School Board member Patricia B. O�Neill (D-Dist. 3) of Bethesda said the board has requested the county amend its captial improvement plan to add visitor entry buzzers at 18 schools. Whether Radnor was included, she could not say.
Montgomery County School Board President Christopher S. Barclay said he could not address the concerns at Bradley Hills directly, but said the board strives to keep students and staff safe at all buildings.
�The school board always takes the security of our children very seriously,� said Barclay (D-Dist. 4) of Takoma Park.
Adding of the parents at Bradley Hills, �we will definitely look at any concerns they have.�

Keynote Lecture by Sterling Professor of Divinity Harry Attridge, Yale Divinity School:
Reading Scripture in the Wake of Vatican II; Dei Verbum Fifty Years Out
The Saint John's School of Theology and Seminary series, "Vatican II and Ecumenism," commemorates the 50th anniversary of this epic event in the history of The Church. Sessions are designed to explore the ways in which ecumenism crosscuts all of the conciliar documents while highlighting the significance of the council in the present day and future.
In Pope Francis's recent reflections on the council's spirit and continued implementation; he states: "Vatican II, inspired by Pope Paul VI and John, decided to look to the future with a modern spirit and to be open to modern culture. The Council Fathers knew that being open to modern culture meant religious ecumenism and dialogue with non-believers."1
For the past century, Saint John's has maintained a significant theological voice in the American and worldwide church, and for the past half-century, it has embraced the work of the council in a variety of ways including liturgical reform, theological and pastoral renewal, and the work of ecumenism or dialogue with other Christian churches and movements. The fiftieth anniversary of the council thus offers an ideal occasion on which to continue that reflection and engagement with the world from Collegeville.
The Saint John's Vatican Council II and Ecumenism Series features lecture presentations by renowned theologians and church leaders who will unpack the ecumenical and theological significance of the council documents.
Each event will consist of the following sessions which can be attended in part or in whole:
The Vatican Coffee Bar, "Bar Jonah"
During the sessions of the council, held inside Saint Peter's Basilica, two coffee/espresso bars were constructed to offer refreshments and informal places for conversation among the council fathers, "Bar Jonah" and "Bar Abbas." The conference event will begin in the late afternoon with our own Bar Jonah that will introduce general themes from Vatican Council II and specific ideas in the documents featured at that event. Facilitated by faculty members from Saint John's School of Theology and Seminary, Bar Jonah events will include images and accessible remarks that will further prepare listeners for the feature lecture of the day. It will offer time for questions and answers. In the spirit of Vatican City, Italy, biscotti and good coffee will be served!
5pm Mass in The Abbey Church
Retaining the Saint John's commitment to prayer in the monastic tradition, the Vatican Council II and Ecumenism Series offers participants the opportunity to pray as a community. Attendees are invited to join the monastic community in prayer at the Abbey Church. Doing so will allow participants to enter into the larger spirit of liturgy and prayer which animates Collegeville's commitment to the spirit of Vatican II.
Social Hour & Dinner
Following prayer, participants are invited to join the Saint John's community of faculty, students, alums, and friends in Benedictine hospitality. Good food and good conversation will give attendees opportunities for informal conversations with each other, cultivating a spirit of dialogue and engagement with each other. Registration is requested for attending the social and dinner.
Keynote Speaker Address
The event will culminate in a keynote address by the day's featured speaker. While the lecture will focus on the particular council document for the event, it will also look to the way in which the document cultivates a spirit of ecumenism as well as dialogue with the other.

Updates to include comments from Apple, Samsung, Google, a legal expert and analyst. A copy of the final, amended verdict is here.
The nine-member jury sided almost entirely with Apple Inc. in its patent dispute case with Samsung Electronics Co., awarding Apple nearly $1.05 billion in a "sweeping victory" over claims that the Korean electronics maker copied the designs of its iPhone smartphone and iPad tablet.
The verdict comes after less than three full days of deliberation in a high-stakes trial overseen by U.S. District Court Judge Lucy Koh in San Jose federal court.
"The jury's $1 billion verdict is a sweeping victory for Apple. It solidifies Apple's dominance of the market for smart phones and tablets," said Steve Mitby, a partner with Ahmad, Zavitsanos, Anaipakos, Alavi & Mensing P.C. in Houston. "If the court issues an injunction based on the jury's verdict, this would ban Apple's key competitor from the market for months, if not years."
Apple sued Samsung in April 2011, alleging it had "copied" the designs of the iPhone and iPad. Samsung countersued Apple in June 2011, saying the Cupetino, California-company had infringed on Samsung patents around wireless communications and camera phones.
The jury, made up of seven men and two women, today found no such infringement on Apple's part and said Samsung was entitled to "zero" in damages.
Apple was seeking $2.5 billion in damages, and it called on the jury Aug. 21 to impose a heavy penalty on Samsung. "They will not change their way of operating if you slap them on the wrist," Apple attorney Howard McElhinny said in his closing argument.
It wasn't a clean sweep for Apple. The jury didn't agree to some of Apple's claims around the iPad and Samsung's Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet. Still, the overall impression after a read through of the 20-page verdict form, which contains 33 multi-part questions, showed the jury bought into Apple's copying claims, particularly around the iPhone.
Here's Apple's statement on today's verdict:
We are grateful to the jury for their service and for investing the time to listen to our story and we were thrilled to be able to finally tell it. The mountain of evidence presented during the trial showed that Samsung's copying went far deeper than even we knew. The lawsuits between Apple and Samsung were about much more than patents or money. They were about values. At Apple, we value originality and innovation and pour our lives into making the best products on earth. We make these products to delight our customers, not for our competitors to flagrantly copy. We applaud the court for finding Samsung's behavior willful and for sending a loud and clear message that stealing isn't right.
This is what Samsung had to say:
Today's verdict should not be viewed as a win for Apple, but as a loss for the American consumer. It will lead to fewer choices, less innovation, and potentially higher prices. It is unfortunate that patent law can be manipulated to give one company a monopoly over rectangles with rounded corners, or technology that is being improved every day by Samsung and other companies. Consumers have the right to choices, and they know what they are buying when they purchase Samsung products. This is not the final word in this case or in battles being waged in courts and tribunals around the world, some of which have already rejected many of Apple's claims. Samsung will continue to innovate and offer choices for the consumer.
The damages total was at first $1.051 billion, but that became a tentative number after Judge Koh asked the jury to review two "inconsistencies" in the award, totaling about $2.4 million. After deliberating, the jury came back and gave a new total of $1,049, 393,540 — or nearly $1.05 billion.
Investors reacted favorably to the news, sending Apple's shares up $11.73, or 1.7 percent, in extended trading to $674.95. Google, whose Android mobile operating system software powers many Samsung devices, fell $5.63, or less than 1 percent, to $673.
"This verdict threatens the future of Google's Android products. Based on this verdict, Apple will likely sue other competitors that use the Android system," Mitby said. "The result will likely be an increase in costs to Android users because of licensing fees to Apple. This will drive many Android consumers over to Apple. Next to Samsung, the biggest loser today is Google."
"Most of these patent claims don't relate to the core Android operating system," a Google spokesperson said. "The mobile industry is moving fast and all players – including newcomers – are building upon ideas that have been around for decades. We will continue working with our partners to give consumers innovative and affordable products."
Apple and Samsung will return to Judge Koh's courtroom next month to argue over Apple's request for an injunction to stop the infringing products from being sold. Mitby said it's likely Samsung will appeal to the Federal Circuit, the Washington, D.C.-based appeals court that hears patent-related appeals. "The Federal Circuit has a history of scaling back big damages awards, which may spell trouble for Apple's $1 billion in past damages," he said. "However, on the core issues of infringement and validity, the Federal Circuit is less likely to reverse. So even if Samsung is able to reduce the monetary award, the jury's decision spells trouble for the future of Samsung's product line – which is an even bigger financial issue for Samsung."

The Boone water intake project has been terminated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) because the Town of Boone didn't submit all of the requested data.
The Town of Boone was notified by FEMA in a Jan. 30, letter.
"Review of the submitted data indicates that not all of the the requested data was received from our previous letter dated Aug. 21, 2012 before the FEMA deadline on Nov. 19, 2012; therefore, this request was terminated," said the letter.
The four million gallon-per-day water intake facility was planned to be located on a 10-acre site on the South Fork of the New River between Todd and Brownwood in Watauga County. Water was planned to be transported to Boone's water treatment plan using a transmission line that will follow along Brownwood Road.
However, before the project could proceed, the Town of Boone needed to gain the signatures of all the surrounding communities that would be impacted by the project on an MT-2 form, including a signature from the Ashe County Board of Commissioners.
Mitchell said Ashe County's representation tried to work with the Town of Boone, but Boone did not answer a few important concerns that Ashe County's leadership had about the project. Namely, Mitchell said a possible change in the floodplain could hurt property owners who reside in Ashe County. Also, part of the project would cross onto Ashe County land.
"The Board of Commissioners will not sign the MT-2 form for the above-referenced project and are opposed to having any portion of the project located in our political jurisdiction," said Mitchell in a letter sent to Steve Garrett of the N.C. Department of Public Safety on Sept. 24.
The hesitation to sign the MT-2 form caused the case's eventual dismissal.
Mitchell described this process in an email to Rep. Jonathan Jordan and N.C. Senator Dan Soucek. Mitchell said the following:
"After several attempts to obtain updated information from the Town of Boone, Patty Gambill (Ashe emergency management director) and I participated in a conference call Nov. 13, with FEMA and the State Division of Emergency Management regarding the issue. As a result of that phone call, FEMA directed the Division of EM to go back to Boone and obtain updated maps/plans/information and provide them to my office."
Mitchell's email went on to read "three additional emails followed with no response, and then a request was made to the deputy secretary of the Department of Public Safety – the attached letters are the result of that contact. The letters, in summary, state that FEMA is not moving ahead with the water intake project as the Town of Boone has not provided the information that Ashe County needs to make an informed decision about signing the MT-2 form, and Ashe County's signature, as an 'impacted community,' is necessary to move ahead."
Mitchell later determined the water intake project "would have changed the floodplain for several Ashe County residents."
The FEMA notification doesn't mean the project is completely terminated, just this particular case is dismissed.
"Any additional data submitted for this request will be treated as a new submission and will be subject to all submission/payment procedures, including the flat review and processing fee for requests of this type and will be assigned a new case number," read the FEMA letter.
Mitchell said it is possible for the Town of Boone to submit the project once again, but also said this is a setback for the project.
"If they do that, they have to start from scratch," said Mitchell, meaning they would be required to re-submit their fee's only to, once again, try to capture Ashe County's signature.

Game of Thrones
Woman Seeks Robb Stark Look-Alike For Iron Throne Whoopee
Sometimes, when you really, really want something, you just have to go out and get it. That's what this New Orleans-based Game of Thrones fan did: she purchased an Iron Throne replica, and she has her Daenerys Targaryen act down.
All she needs now to carry out her elaborate fantasy is a dude that looks like Robb Stark, so she can... erm, truly have conquered the seven kingdoms. Good thing that Craigslist exists for just such occasions!
Before you go frantically typing that introduction email: the potential fantasy Robb would have to bring his own costume. Don't look too nice though, the ad instructs: you will have just come out of a dungeon after a long, sweaty battle. She's looking for "a Stark in the streets but a wildling in the sheets." (Wow.)
The ad is unclear about whether she'll be bringing her own dragons.
Part of her fantasy is having killed all other rival families, which we assume she'll take care of in her imagination — but if you're a Jamie Lannister look-alike, you may want to steer clear of New Orleans, or grow a funny mustache, or something.

Friday night lights are shining bright for the 2013 Bearcats. The intensity level is through the roof. It is great to be a part of the excitement.
As a parent, it is always mixed emotions as your child takes the field. There is such a sense of pride and gratification to see your child so fired up and intense about something however, deep down suppressed within, lies the fear of injury. You don't often think about it, however you know it exists and you're reminded with each injury-timeout.
As the injured player receives attention, you are reminded of the risk. That possibility became a reality for us Friday night as the Bearcats hosted the Talihina Tigers.
Antlers entered the locker room at the half up 13-0. Things were looking great. We thought how huge this win is going to be for the kids, the coaches and the program. As the second half began, Talihina returned the opening kick-off for a touchdown and the wheels started wobbling. A very questionable reception by the Tigers allowed them to score again and take the lead.
At this point, the wheels came off for the Bearcats. Disappointed by the outcome of the game, we were ready for the buzzer. However, in the waning minutes there is an injury time-out.
As we waited to get things going again, those around us were saying "that's Conner". As parents, one could imagine we hoped the prolonged assessment of his injury would result in a tired, fatigued Bearcat limping from the field. It was when we saw one of the coaches motion to the ambulance our fear became a reality.
We picked up the pace and realized that it might be a little more serious than suspected. As this goes to print, most everyone knows the story.
Conner suffered a broken femur. He was airlifted to the trauma center at St. Francis in Tulsa. He underwent surgery the next morning and he is now home. Only time will tell how long he will be out of commission.
The blessing in this story is what was exhibited by the Antlers student body, faculty and community in demonstrating what it truly means to be a Bearcat. We cannot express our gratitude and appreciation for the overwhelming concern and support we have received on Conner's behalf.
We want to thank everyone (hundreds at this point) for your calls, prayers, visits and many other gestures of kindness. We want to give a special thanks to the Antlers Coaching Staff who even in the face of frustration were compassionate and attentive as they stayed with Conner and loaded him in the helicopter for transport.
We want to encourage the team to pull together after this loss and prepare for Atoka. Remember how far things have come in one year. Everyone is behind you and the stands are full of people and enthusiasm who believe in you. Go Cats!
