VIPER — Despite some rainy weather last week, a camp meant to give troubled youth a helping hand was held for the fifth consecutive year at Twin Rocks Bible Camp on the Middle Fork of Maces Creek.
Project Hope's Camp Promise, an organization formed to help at-risk male youth who have ended up in the juvenile court system or are economically disadvantaged, was created by Perry County District Judge Leigh Anne Stephens and Zach Sandlin, a juvenile parole officer for Perry County, along with the Kentucky State Police (KSP) in 2009. Five years later, Stephens said she is very proud to have been able to help so many of the youth in the area.
"It's a real community effort. So many agencies and people and volunteers and churches come together. They donate their time, money, food, and it's for a wonderful cause — these children who need to know that they're important. I think they come out of the camp feeling that way," Stephens said on the second day of camp.
With the rain bringing the activities inside, Stephens said she thought the weather would actually help the campers grow more as individuals and as a group.
"Sometimes that's good too, because when you're cooped up with people that's when they get to talking more and express themselves a little more," she said. "Sometimes when there's so much going on you don't get that camaraderie, relating to each other with stories and things."
Former KSP Officer Chris Fugate, who is now the pastor of Gospel Light Baptist Church in Hazard and one of the leaders of Project Hope, has been with Camp Promise since its inception and said he can't wait to continue what has become a tradition for many of the volunteers there.
"I'm thankful for the opportunity to meet some new boys from our community; it's a great group of guys, a lot of potential," he said. "I'm just thankful for our community and the people in our community that actually do something to reach out to help others that may not be as fortunate as we are."
Fugate said the first year the camp had 19 campers for the week. This year, that number has more than doubled, and the 41 boys at camp this year have had chances to experience numerous community service jobs. Throughout the week, the boys got to meet with local volunteer fire departments, state police, and local celebrities like Tim Farmer, host of Kentucky Afield Television on KET.
"We encourage them to get involved in community service because the volunteer fire departments are such an asset for our county and they help a lot of people, so we encourage the boys when they get old enough to maybe look at doing that and to give back to the community," Fugate added.
Fifteen-year-old Myles Hurst is a first-time camper this year, and said he plans to return for as many years as he can.
"It's pretty fun, it's tough but fun," Hurst said. "I had already met friends just on the bus ride here."
Fugate said the camp isn't meant to be something to push the boys into something they wouldn't be interested in just to help them; it's meant to help them discover who they really are and what they're really capable of.
"The way I say it, 'Let life live them.' Let them live life the way they choose to live it," Fugate said.

Sometimes an iCloud icon is just an iCloud icon
As part of its massive redesign, iTunes 11 includes a curious iCloud icon at the top left, just beside the media type selector drop down. What does this iCloud icon mean? What does it want from us? Matthew Panzarino investigated and shared his findings on Robot Tuxedo:
Clicking on it does nothing, there is no tooltip and it sometimes animates in various ways. This has led to confusion about its purpose. When I saw it I felt I knew right away what it was, but thought I'd do a little testing to make sure my hypothesis was correct.
No spoilers. Hit the link below and make sure you read down to the update.

Sometimes an iCloud icon is just an iCloud icon
Last week, there was a little lightning bolt in my little cloud. In believe its pertaining to iTunes Match. I don't have my music stored on my Mac, so I stream it. When the lighting bolt was there, I couldn't stream.
I love the new iTunes 11. I think. As far as the program itself goes, it's great. My favourite feature is the ability to stream music I've purchased, but no longer possess in my computer, without having to re-download. And of course being able to control that with my "Remote" app in my iPad, and iPod is fantastic. I just wish this feature was available for the iPod, or iPad as well. But the one issue I've had, and I've had no one give me a solution for, is, every time I click on the "Store" button, iTunes 11 crashes. Every time. I checked the forums and I'm not the only one. I personally have just a Dell laptop. I can't afford a Mac. But I've noticed that the majority of the other people with this issue have Macs of some kind or other. So the problem is not just with PCs. Anyone else have this issue, or know of a fix? Please help.

GREENVILLE (AP) — The Bi-Lo Center in Greenville is getting a new name.
The Greenville Arena District Board voted on Thursday to rename the 15,000-seat arena the Bon Secours Wellness Arena after the nonprofit company that runs two hospitals in the area.
The company is paying $4.5 million for the naming rights for the next 10 years.
Grocery chain Bi-Lo decided not to renew its naming rights when its $3 million contract ran out earlier this month. The arena has been known as the Bi-Lo Center since it opened 15 years ago.

Review: Pinger, the Social Dialer for iPhone
It's been awhile since we've heard anything from Pinger, creators of a service that allows you to trade voicemails like they were emails. Their previous offering was interesting but not ultimately useful for most people. Their new offering, a clever iPhone application (iTunes link) that combines a social media aggregator, a dialer, and an IM client is interesting and likely useful for most people. For me, it addresses my #1 gripe about the iPhone. It's also free.
Read on for a review!
What is Pinger?
Pinger essentially combines three functions and has a little bit of an identity crisis when it comes to making one of them primary. They do give you a clue at how to think of the app when it first launches by showing you a demo of yanking your phone app from the dock and putting Pinger in its place. That's a pretty bold statement, but for me it was the exact right thing to do.
Ok, so what are we looking at here?
- A dialer app
- A social media status aggregator
- An IM Client
Pinger takes the above functions and spreads them around the app fairly effectively in 5 tabs: "Friend News," "Contacts," "Favorites", "IM," and "Keypad."
Since Pinger prompts you to replace the phone app's place in your precious dock, it had better be darn good at getting a hold of your contacts. Fortunately, it is. Pinger was sure to include a simple dial pad (above) for people who just want a number pad, damnit. They've also included a 'Favorites' tab that, you guessed it, allows you to list favorites (it doesn't match the favorites you've set in the default phone app).
However, the above is ho-hum, just in Pinger so that it's able to compete feature-for-feature with the iPhone's default. Where the real dialing action happens is on the Contacts tab. It's here where Pinger blows the default dialer away and become my go-to app for getting in touch with people.
Reason #1 I love the contact list: it makes no bones about how you're supposed to find your contacts. A keyboard pops up the moment you open it and although you can scroll through contacts, it's clear that's a secondary searching option. Because of this, you can immediately start typing a name instead of scrolling up to the search bar at the top of the regular contacts listing. As you type, the letter's your typing appear just above the keyboard.
That, friends, is how it should be.
Just as nice as the above, the contact listing in Pinger is also much more useful than a standard list. Underneath each name are pressable buttons to immediately use that method of communication -- i.e. call mobile, SMS, email, etc. Of course, you can also drill into a full contact page to get more control over the contact.
Also visible in the contact listing: IM presence. You can see right here in the contact listing whether a given person is available, away, etc on AIM, Yahoo, MSN, and Google Talk.
I'll be recommending Pinger to folks simply because its dialer is superior to the iPhone's default phone app. Pinger also has those other two features, however, and though neither is especially powerful, both benefit from being integrated into a single app.
The Pinger IM client offers a fairly standard suite of features: ability to work with AIM, Yahoo, MSN, and Google Talk. Its best feature is the fact that it adds the little red and green presence icons to your contact listing.
On the friends list from the IM app, you'll find that your IM groups are maintained and that you can clear tell which friend is on which service. You'll likely have to spend some time 'linking' your buddy list to your contacts (more on that below), but otherwise it's pretty nice.
The other IM feature that I'm fond of is SMS notification. When you exit the app but leave yourself online in IM, Pinger takes note of this and sends you an SMS when you receive an IM. It's a bit nicer for me that BeeJive's MobileMe/Exchange 'out of IM' solution, because I pay more attention to SMS than I do email. The SMS you received contains a link that launches Safari, which in turn launches Pinger, which is a little odd. Either way, you can turn the feature off.
Pinger decided to only make IM work in landscape mode. While I appreciate the landscape keyboard, I'd have liked the option of working in portrait. Why Pinger doesn't allow this is beyond me. I also suspect they just couldn't get the graphics for portrait mode done in time -- even in landscape there are some inconsistencies with the bubbles.
Nevertheless you have a decent IM client with SMS background notification and integration with a dialer app. Not bad, not bad. We're not quite done yet, though.
Social Media Status Aggregator
"Social Media Status Aggregator" is a mouthful, but I can't really think of a clearer explanation of the 'Friend News' tab. Once you've set up Pinger to have access to your Facebook, MySpace, and Twitter accounts, this tab will show you each your friends' most recent statuses. It does this properly, only showing the most recent status for each friend so your listing doesn't consist of that one guy (you know who) who twitters every 30 seconds.
Additionally, each contact has a button the righthand side that pops up a window with buttons to the various bits of contact methods you have for that person as below:
Occasionally, you'll find that a given contact here isn't linked properly to your local contacts -- this also happens in IM. In that case you can 'link' to that person's contact to help make this pop-up bubble useful. Pinger inserts a custom email address into the contact to make the link.
Note that while you have a nice, integrated feed aggregator for social network status, what you don't have is a great client for social networks. Yes, you can drill into a contact's profile page in an embedded browser, but it's not as full featured as the separate Facebook app. You can directly message somebody on Twitter, but you can't 'just Tweet' or send @ messages.
Still, for me, status is a good 40% of what I'm looking for about most of my friends on social networks anyway, so the feed aggregator is pretty good.
Pinger has a smorgasbord of social functions here so it's pretty difficult to wrap up in nice, pithy conclusion. The contact tab is a great improvement over the default phone app and has become my default dialer.
The IM client is sub-par because it's medium-light on features and requires you to go into landscape mode, but I'm using it as my main client anyway because it reports status to the dialer and provides SMS notifications when I'm not in the app.
The Friend News tab is a nice alternative to browsing through my twitter feed because it includes statuses from Facebook and MySpace, but otherwise it's not all that useful. Then again, just because it isn't useful doesn't mean I don't use it.
In all, Pinger came very close to creating an integrated dialing/media app that is insanely great. Some bugs, some portions of the app that seem slightly unfinished, some crashes (just a couple), and that annoying landscape IM thing hold it back though. I have to admit, however, that I've followed their advice, it's replaced the phone app on my dock -- primarily because searching through the contacts app is just so much quicker and seeing IM presence in that same app is the 'way it should be.'
- Fast Dialer
- SMS IM notification
- Presense
- IM only works in landscape
- I've had a couple crashes
- Contacts need to be linked in Pinger too often

Review: Pinger, the Social Dialer for iPhone
I already have a perfect Apple phone app, I already have a perfect Apple contact app, along with SMS, and Beejive, etc...
I'm so sick of redundancy cluttering up the App Store.
While I could see possibly replacing the Apple Phone App in the tray with Pinger, you would definitely still have to keep the Apple app on the front screen. Pinger has no way of notifying you if you have a voicemail, and allowing you to access voicemail. I will certainly have to play with it for a while before making the switch.
I forgot to mention another issue. I have many contacts who have multiple numbers, but no IM ID. I should be able to set a preference for what buttons appear in the Pinger Contacts, or better yet, have it determine what items are in the contact and display buttons accordingly. Currently, I only have IM info for two contacts, but I have an IM button for all contacts, and only a mobile phone button. Having other phone buttons would prove VERY helpful.
The only benefit to this i can see is the IM's (AKA text messeging) for all contacts. Much cleaner then AOL app.
"I already have a perfect Apple phone app, I already have a perfect Apple contact app, along with SMS, and Beejive, etc…

ok the voice mail thing i can see being a problem so contact app would have to be on front but not dock worthy now
other than that its definitly worth a download simply because it is one of the few that has potential in future app store updates
:shock: Uhh, no... Steve Jobs wouldn't have allowed this on the App Store if he felt the way I do.
Doesnt accept australian phone numbers during set up. When will developers realize there are more iPhones outside the US than in and create aps based on this.
for what ever reason it deletes about 95% of my MSN contacts!!! I learned the hard way, I have not found to restore them but i was able to go to my allow list and re-add them. Since i have made a back up of my contacts so i could test this again... and boom contacts missing. I can confirm this.
i love this app. Not quite ready to replace my dialer app on the dock though. i think the IM screen is too small, make the keyboard smaller or the text bubbles smaller. you can barely see one bubble on the screen at a time if the keyboard is open.
the beejive app only has push email alerts... no sms.
please correct me if i'm wrong. i have an open mind and would love to learn how to turn sms notifications on beejive ON.
Wow, it seems like a really great application. One that might be a little too complicated to operate for my taste. Personally, I think operating mobile applications should be really quick and easy. If not, then I find myself sucked into my iPhone and not paying attention to the rest of the world around me.
To the user asking how to send SMS alerts through beejive..simply use push email alerts to email@example.com
I cant seem to get my yahoo or aim or google talk to work on this...i have an iTouch.....this is really frustrating any help???? i pushed save it doesnt save it

CRESTVIEW — Area green thumbs will celebrate Florida's Arbor Day Friday morning with a tree giveaway and tree planting at the University of Florida/IFAS Okaloosa County Extension location on Airport Road.
The Daughters of the American Revolution's Choctawhatchee Bay chapter donated a $200 winged elm tree to be planted during Friday's events. The tree can grow as high as 40 feet, Okaloosa County Master Gardener Sandie Olsen said.
"Its seeds are a great bird attractor," Olsen said. "And it's not susceptible to Dutch elm disease."
The Dogwood Garden Club of Crestview likewise donated a tree, also to be planted during Friday's events.
"They (county Master Gardeners) have a landscape master plan and this will be part of it," Dogwood member Celia Broadhead said.
County Extension officials, Master Gardeners and state forestry officials will offer advice on tree planting in the north county region, including a planting demonstration by County Extension commercial horticulture agent Sheila Dunning. Maria Wilson, the Florida Forest Service's senior forester, will distribute free mayhaw, red maple, cherry bark oak and yellow poplar saplings.
Planting these and other trees native to northwest Florida is preferable to importing non-native exotic species, such as the palm trees some residents like to plant in their yards, retired forester and Forest Service Poet Laureate John McMahon said.
"Native trees are likely to adapt better to our local conditions," he said. "They grew up here and are acclimated to growing in our soil. They've adapted to our conditions, including our colder winters. They are easier to maintain than exotic trees."
Events begin Friday at 9 a.m. with the sapling giveaway, which lasts until noon or until all trees are given away.
Dedication of the DAR's winged elm is at 10:30 a.m.; Dunning's planting demonstration will follow.
Coffee and a guided tour of the new extension building will be provided at 11 a.m.
All events are free.
McMahon encouraged interested residents to visit the Crestview McMahon Environmental Center on Butler Circle, off Maypoles Street, beneath the fire tower. The center has been the location of past years' Arbor Day events.
"We have more than 100 native species tagged for easy identification," said McMahon, for whom the center was named.
Though national Arbor Day is celebrated on the last Friday in April, state Arbor Days are observed to correspond with optimal local tree planting conditions.
Florida's Arbor Day is the third Friday of January.
Want to go?
Arbor Day events — Friday at the University of Florida/IFAs County Extension office, 3098 Airport Road — are as follows.
9 a.m. to noon: Sapling giveaway (while supplies last)
10:30 a.m.: Dedication of DAR winged elm; tree planting demonstration
10:45 a.m.: Dedication and planting of Dogwood Garden Club's tree
11 a.m.: Refreshments and tour of County Extension building
Admission for all events is free.

Complete Release in PDF Format
Cal State Northridge head track & field coach Don Strametz, who has guided the Matador men's and women's track & field programs to unprecedented success, has announced his retirement from coaching effective at the conclusion of the 2011 outdoor season.
Strametz's retirement marks the end of a glorious 31-year reign with the Matador women's team and a 26-year run with the Northridge men's team. It also marks the completion of an association with the University that spans over three decades. A 1968 graduate of Cal State Los Angeles, Strametz has led the Matadors to 19 conference outdoor championships, two conference indoor championships and has amassed 29 Coach of the Year honors. The Matador women have captured five consecutive Big West Conference outdoor titles heading into the 2011 season while the Northridge men have claimed the last two Big West outdoor championships.
"Although I am very excited and happy for Don as he begins his retirement, it will be a great loss to the many student-athletes, coaches, faculty and staff that he has come in contact with over the course of his 30-year tenure at Cal State Northridge" said Athletic Director Rick Mazzuto. "His enthusiasm, dedication, sincerity and talent will be difficult to replace but we all wish him the best as he begins the next phase of his life."
Strametz has also been instrumental in Cal State Northridge hosting a variety of track & field meets at the Matador Track Complex including seven conference championships and the NCAA West Region Championships in both 2004 and 2008. He also spearheaded the track & field programs efforts to host a full schedule of All Comers Meets every season which provide the surrounding community an opportunity to compete and experience track & field.
The 12-time Big West Conference Coach of the Year has guided the Matadors to a total of seven Big West Outdoor Championships on the women's side and five on the men's side. He also helped Northridge to America West Conference Outdoor Championships in 1995 and 1996 and Big Sky Conference Outdoor Championships in 1997, 1999 and 2000. Strametz and his staff have also produced well over 175 all-conference performers.
In addition, Strametz's student-athletes have excelled in the classroom as over 75 student-athletes have earned all-academic accolades and over 100 student-athletes have been named to the Varsity N Honor Roll. Track & Field student-athletes have also been named Big West Scholar Athletes of the Year in both 2004 and 2005 and former thrower Jessica Beach was awarded the prestigious Wolfson Scholar award in 2007 which goes to the University's Outstanding Graduating Senior. The CSUN women's cross country team has posted perfect graduation rates and men's cross country received the 2010 Big West Team Sportsmanship Award.
"I feel blessed that I've been able to work here and the results we've had speak for themselves," said Strametz. "I've also been so lucky to have such a great group of assistant coaches to work with throughout the years who have made this thing happen. We've also had a great bunch of athletes who bought into what we were preaching and have made it all worthwhile. It's been a great career and I'm looking forward to retirement."
A national search will be conducted by the University to find a replacement for coach Strametz.

Best Uses
I use these gloves doing barn work. I really like them because they are warm and waterproof and fit well, but they have not stood up to heavy use. I started using them in November, and 3 1/2 months later the seams on several of the fingers are splitting. That being said, I have not found any other gloves that I like as much. I was disappointed to find they are no longer available.
Best Uses
I have large hands and found the fingers slightly too short. That is the only reason I didn't give the product a 5 star rating. I wanted to use them only to feed and water my chickens during winter but now find I want to wear them all the time. Now I need a 2nd pair.
Best Uses
I bought these gloves with high hopes and they have certainly met my expectations. Since winter and cold weather has come, I have been using these gloves everyday and do not leave home without them! I am cold natured and I do not like being cold and these gloves have done an excellent job keeping my hands warm! I am quite impressed with the sturdiness of the gloves as well. I have used them everyday mucking stalls, hauling water, throwing hay bales and riding and you can not see any signs of wear. They even have a handwarmer pocket - which I have not needed to use but cannot wait to try! Thanks again Duluth for an excellent product!
Best Uses
I love the fit of the gloves and that they cover my wrists well. THEY ARE WATERPROOF! That is their best feature. I spill water every now and then while refilling the rabbit's water bottles, and the gloves kept my fingers dry, not even becoming soggy 10 minutes later as other gloves have.
I found, however, that my fingers still got achingly cold when I was outside doing chores for longer than half an hour, especially when temperatures were around 34 degrees Farenheit. These gloves are great for mildly cold days, but I'm going to look for warmer gloves for doing chores when it is really cold out. (I should note that I am rather cold-blooded; if you're warm-blooded, these gloves might be just fine for you.)
Best Uses
These gloves were my second choice, but are very happy with them. They are slightly too big for me, but fit well enough. They have kept my hands warm and very dry, even in the rain and from the hose.
I work outside alot in cold northeast weather, these keep my hands toasty!! Thank you Duluth!

Tuesday, April 2, 2013
Republicans in the First Congressional District chose Congressional experience Tuesday, going for former Gov. Mark Sanford over former Charleston County Councilman Curtis Bostic.
Only Beaufort County appeared to favor Bostic; with 73 of 80 precincts reporting there, Bostic had a lead of 53 percent.
But Dorchester County, with all 59 precincts reporting, went for Sanford by 58 percent. Charleston County, with 131 of 133 precincts reporting, went for Sanford by 61 percent and Berkeley County, with all 44 precincts reporting, chose Sanford with 57 percent of the vote.
Turnout was light all day, coming in around 10 percent in all counties except Colleton.
Colleton, with one precinct in the district, had 22 percent turnout and 59 percent of the voters chose Sanford.
Sanford voters most often cited his prior experience in Congress.
Peter Douglass, voting at Knightsville Elementary School, said Sanford is the most qualified to go to Washington and "stop those people" in Congress.
At Oakbrook Elementary School, Deborah Kidd said she voted for Bostic for the second time.
"I don't want Mr. Sanford in office again," she said.
She didn't think he truly cared about his job. Bostic, on the other hand, has good values and has done a lot of good for the community and the wider world, she said.
As Kidd was exiting the precinct around 5 p.m., turnout at Oakbrook Elementary stood at 4.6 percent.
At Fort Dorchester High School a short time later, turnout was 5.3 percent. There, Randy Staley said he voted for Bostic.
His first-choice candidate was Teddy Turner, so this time around his vote was an "anybody but Sanford" vote.
Others, however, said they separated Sanford's personal life from his political life.
At Summerville High School, Gaylord and Martha Carder said they voted for Sanford based on his political record.
"Because he's done a good job before," Martha Carder said.

Protip: the capsicum in pepper spray is suspended in oil. Oil floats on water. Water can be found, for instance, in toilets. Toilets, when flushed, actually fill the surrounding area with a fine mist due to the turbulence created. I won't elaborate farther.
You are correct about the toilet aerosol. That is why you should ALWAYS flush the toilet with the lid closed. It confines the aerosol to a much smaller area, mainly, the floor around the commode.

After a little investigation we figured out that the shift before mine, they had gassed an inmate and the officer who did it didn't wipe the gas off his hand before poring himself some coffee. When I looked at the handle on the pot, I could see the little orange streaks from the gas that was still on there!
Burning penor is no way to start a shift.
Another protip: contact lenses contain a lot of water. When you spray someone the mist gets into the lenses. When you take those off and put them in the case the saline reactivates the gas. When you put the lenses back in, burning face!Combatives training log.

When I was in college I bought a girlfriend some pepper spray. I told her she was to take it outside and test-fire it, and do it once every two weeks or whatever it said on the label. She didn't want to, so I took it outside and did it myself.
An hour or so later, we had been making out a little and were about to take it a little further... until I touched her hoo-ha. I had neglected to wash my hands. That sort of killed the mood.
This is a true story.

Newlyweds try again for 'authentic coffee experience' in BGWritten by Matt Liasse | | firstname.lastname@example.com
When their first Kickstarter campaign failed to raise $60,000 in December, Ben and Cassy Vollmar went right back to work to get their potential future coffee shop open.
Although "bummed" about the campaign, Ben said he was excited to see the community begin to jump on board with his project. Since December, community members and other coffee connoisseurs have approached Ben and offered help.
"A lot of people reached out and because of that, we found other investors, which is part of the reason why this Kickstarter has a lower goal," Ben said.
Ben said he appreciated the help of the community members, especially since the first Kickstarter campaign didn't have much social media presence behind it — another difference about his current campaign.
Ben said the new campaign looks a lot better because of what he learned from the unsuccesful one. The couple's current campaign, which ends at 6 p.m. June 22, aims to raise $20,000.
If the goal is met, the couple plans to open Flatlands Coffee at 138 N. Main St. in Bowling Green, in the same strip as On the Edge Tattoo Studio and Finders Records. Together, the two want to offer "an authentic coffee experience."
"[Our vision is] just to create a welcoming, creativity-inducing atmosphere where customers can really enjoy the uppermost quality in terms of service and product," Vollmar said. "Our mission is to bring the best in the country to Bowling Green, Ohio."
The couple has added to their original business model which, Ben said, sets them apart from other coffee shops on a national scale.
"We have made good partnerships with numerous roasters," he said. "We've been researching for so many years and we've found just outstanding roasters. What we plan on doing, from season to season because coffee is such an agricultural product … we will taste all different roasters and pick the best of the best and bring those coffees into our shop.
"That concept has been done and is being done by coffee subscriptions out there. It's a pretty big fast-growing trend," Ben said. "It's getting a lot of attention and people like to know that they're getting top-quality, but ironically it's never been done in a coffee shop setting."
The couple has even picked some early favorites including Kilenso Mokonisa, an Ethiopian roast from Counter Culture; Las Mingas, a Colombian from Cuvee; and Costa Rica Los Lobos from Populace.
Ben said, the first Kickstarter only reached out to locals in Bowling Green. With this one, the Vollmars are trying to maximize their success by sharing how this makes them unique to the industry.
"At this point, most of our backers are from all across the country," Ben said.
The coffee shop would offer many different brewing methods, including a siphon pot (Vollmar's favorite), pour-overs and an espresso machine.
"We're always trying to perfect, tweak and make the coffee taste to its best capability," Vollmar said.
For more information, visit www.kickstarter.com/projects/960621923/flatlands-coffee. At press time, the project had raised more than $16,000.

State asks FEMA for extensionBy PETER HIRSCHFELD
Vermont Press Bureau | July 06,2013MONTPELIER With nearly 200 Vermonters still struggling to recover from Tropical Storm Irene, state officials are asking FEMA to extend a federal grant aimed at getting those households back to pre-flood conditions.
Vermont is among the first states to avail itself of FEMAs new disaster case management grant program. State officials credit the $2.8 million allocation with supplying the human-resources infrastructure needed to help victims bounce back from 2011 floods. But they say the looming Aug. 31 expiration will come before all of the families have been made whole.
Bob Constantino, an employee at the Department for Children and Families who has since late 2011 served as director of the disaster case management program, estimates that by the end of August, close to 100 flood survivors still will be experiencing unmet needs.
The fact is were stretched for resources, and there are no logical agencies to take over these cases, Constantino says.
The 90-day extension, Constantino says, would give the disaster case management program the cushion it needs to close out all but a few of the more than 700 cases it opened in the wake of Irene. Constantino says the no-cost extension Vermont has enough unspent grant money remaining to fund a pared-down version of the program through Nov. 30 looks to be poised for approval by FEMA.
Which for us is great, because all this rain has definitely complicated construction schedules, and would get us through fall to get everything done, Constantino says.
Introduced in an Alabama tornado recovery mission in 2011, the disaster case management grants mark the first time FEMA has played a financial role in helping survivors navigate the bureaucratic labyrinth though which resources are ultimately accessed.
In Vermont, the grant is funneled through the Agency of Human Services, and has funded 11 case managers at three community-action centers serving seven counties. Those 11 grant-funded employees staffed by Central Vermont Community Action Council, Southeastern Vermont Community Action and BROC of Bennington and Rutland counties spearheaded recovery plans for the individual cases to which they were assigned.
This sort of case management has been going on for awhile, but FEMA was never doing it like it is now, Constantino says. It was done by the Methodists, (nongovernmental organizations), other state-based groups or the Red Cross. But this is the first time weve had anything like this.
The case managers served as a conduit between flood survivors and the raft of state, federal, municipal, nonprofit and charitable groups from which they might be eligible for aid.
It can be a small or a large need. The test is whether it was Irene-related, Constantino says.
A lot of the cases were closed out quickly and early, and without needing to secure financial resources.
Maybe someone had a front porch washed away, or had some flooding and needed their basement mucked out, Constantino says. And a lot of those early projects were done by volunteers.
Its the more severe cases that persist now, according to Constantino, who says many of the remaining clients are tapping funds of last resort like community development block grant money or Vermont disaster relief funds to make homes habitable.
Lynn Boyle, a field services director at the Agency of Human Services and member of the Upper Valley Strong long-term recovery committee, says the grant-funded case managers have played a crucial role in recovery missions.
I think they identified the need that was out there, Boyle says. The work the case managers did sort of translated into the community being able to respond to the needs.
Boyle said the check-ins from the boots-on-the-ground case managers also helped connect volunteers on the long-term recovery committee connected to flood victims they hadnt necessarily ever seen or spoken to.
They were really able to keep volunteers abreast of the work that was happening, which I think kept volunteers interested and committed, Boyle says.
If the extension comes through, she says she expects her committee will have resolved all but three or four cases by the end of November.
And well be able to transfer those to NeighborWorks, Boyle says.
The grant program will begin to ramp down considerably after August; funding will be discontinued for all but four case managers. Constantino says he thinks the disaster case management grant has proven a useful model for disaster recovery. An evaluation of the program conducted by an outside consultant, Constantino says, will soon provide greater insights into what worked and what didnt.
Its just a puzzle, where you figure out all the different needs, and then figure out where the resources are that can address them, Constantino says. And the case manager helps the survivor put all those pieces together.

2 dead, 5 injured in Phoenix office complex shooting
PHOENIX -- One person was killed and five more were injured in a Wednesday shooting at a Phoenix office complex at 16th Street and Orangewood Avenue.
Another victim died Thursday night.
The suspect was identified as 70-year-old Arthur Douglas Harmon said Phoenix Police Sgt. Tommy Thompson. He disappeared after the shooting, last seen in a 2013 white Kia Optima.
Harmon was found dead of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound early Thursday in a Mesa shopping center parking lot.
There weapons were found at the scene, including a Springfield 1911 .45 caliber pistol, a Ruger .22 caliber pistol and a 1970's vintage Colt AR15 rifle.
According to Sgt. Tommy Thompson of the Phoenix Police Department, Harmon used the pistols in the office complex shooting, while the rifle was fired at the witness who followed him.
Phoenix police called the 16th Street shooting "not random."
Police, SWAT, fire and emergency crews arrived on the scene about 10:30 a.m.
According to court documents, Harmon was scheduled to go to a law office in the building where the shooting took place for a settlement conference in a lawsuit he filed last April against Fusion.
Businessman Steve Singer and his lawyer Mark Hummels were shot and killed. Singer died a few hours after the shooting. Hummels died Thursday night. He had been life support after surgery at John C. Lincoln Hospital.
Hummels was representing Singer in mediation at the time of the shooting.
Singer was CEO of Fusion Contract Centers Inc., a Scottsdale company named in a lawsuit filed by Harmon.
The company had hired him to refurbish office cubicles at two call centers in California, but a contract dispute arose.
Fusion says Harmon was paid nearly $30,000 under the $47,000 contract. But Fusion asked him to repay much of the money when it discovered that the cubicles could not be refurbished.
Harmon's lawsuit sought payment for the remainder of the contract, $20,000 in damages and reimbursement for storage fees for the cubicles and legal costs.
Police were present at a house at 28th Street at Acoma Drive, less than 10 miles from the shooting, around 12:30 p.m. About 4 p.m., officers moved on the home.
Witnesses to the crime reported hearing multiple shots. The three-story building went on lockdown and nearby buildings were evacuated.
A witness named Rob said he heard five or six gunshots and two people lying on the ground near the rear of the building.
Karen Greenhow was with a group of people who hid in an IT equipment room in one of the second-floor offices.
"I heard two very loud noises. I thought maybe it was construction something had fallen, I didn't relate it to gunshots at the time. Then someone ran through the office and said there had been a shooting, that here had been a man with two guns."
Another witness, Kristie Wingel, was with Greenhow.
"The people in the front of the office started running to the back and we all hid in an IT closet," she said. "We were calling 911."
One witness, who identified herself as Becky Neher, said she heard the shots, but didn't realize there was an active shooter until she saw people running.
"We're on the second level and I saw some girls running out of the building below us."
Neher said herself, along with fellow employees, ensured the doors of their business were locked before proceeding to the rear of the office. When they looked out the window, the employees saw two men lying on the ground.
All schools in the nearby Madison School District were placed on lockdown as a precaution, but all schools were later released with no incident.
16th Street was closed for hours while police carried out their investigation. It was reopened about 5:20 p.m.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

WASHINGTON (AP) - The Obama administration says it's investigating software companies that make cellphone apps to determine whether they are violating the privacy rights of children by quietly collecting personal information from their phones, then sharing it with advertisers and data brokers. Such spying apps downloaded to mobile devices can capture a child's physical location, phone numbers of their friends and more.
In its announcement Monday, the Federal Trade Commission did not specify which companies it is investigating. It described the marketplace for mobile applications as a digital danger zone.
The agency examined 400 applications designed for kids randomly selected from online stores operated by Apple and Google. Most failed to inform parents about data that it could gather and who could access it. Others apps contained advertising and links to social media.

CONCORD, N.C. – One of the most anticipated Daytona Dirt World Championships is coming up this December 28-30 at the Daytona International Speedway Flat Track.
Since the October 8 announcement that the World Karting Association is teaming with the DynoCamsTri-State Pro Series for this year's event to make Daytona the 2013 Tri-State points opener, officials have been working to lay out the structure of the weekend.
The following explains many of the key announcements racers have been awaiting.
The reason for this is that Tri-State is a Maxxis-only series, while WKA has commitments to include VEGA in the nine WKA Florida Divisional Dirt Series classes, which is running this fall at Volusia. There is also a commitment to Maxxis through the WKA South Carolina Divisional Dirt Series.
A total of 37 classes will be on the 2012 Daytona Dirt schedule.
Many of these classes are "traditional" WKA Dirt divisions. Additions include seven big "pro" races that will run a Maxxis-only tire rule.
The seven pro classes (listed with minimum weight and winning purse) are the following.
- Pro Clone (380#). $10,000 To Win. Pays 10 places.
- Pro Animal (375#). $2,000 To Win. Pays five places.
- Pro Animal Junior (320#). $2,000 To Win. Pays five places.
- Pro Clone Junior (280#). Eight to 12 years old. Green plate; small pipe. $2,000 To Win. Pays five places.
- Pro Junior 2 (Animal 300#; Flathead 290#). $2,000 To Win. Pays five places.
- Pro Junior 1 Animal (265#). $2,000 To Win. Pays five places.
- Pro Champ (425#). $500 To Win. Pays five places.
Other Maxxis-only classes are the following.
WKA classes that will run a VEGA or Maxxis option tire rule are the following.
While a number of sponsor negotiations continue to be worked out and will be announced in the coming weeks, Briggs & Stratton Racing has confirmed its support of this year's Dirt World Championships. Briggs has posted $2,000 toward Animal Pro class. As noted, this class will pay $2,000 to the winner.
Another confirmed sponsor is South Carolina's Possum Kingdom Speedway, which has posted sponsorship for the Pro Champ event.
In the past, Sportsman 2 Lite, Heavy and Champ have been Animal-only in WKA competition. This year, citing a successful program in the Tri-State Series, Briggs flathead engines will be permitted to run against the Animals in Junior 2 Lite, Heavy and Champ. Flatheads will be able to run at 10 pounds less than the Animals.
In addition to the Junior Animal and Junior Clone $2,000-To-Win Pro classes, the Junior age bracket includes the traditional Junior Lite, Junior Heavy and Junior Champ for Animals only and Junior Box Stock for Clones. All of these divisions are Maxxis-only.
A second 2-cycle class will run on the Daytona dirt Sunday. The class is Yamaha KT100 and it will mark the first time a Yamaha-only 2-cycle class has run the DIS Flat Track. The Yamaha class is open tire and is open for stock Yamaha at 360 pounds and Stock Appearing Yamaha at 390 pounds.
A document will be available on Monday that outlines all classes with weights, plates and tire rules.
All Junior Box Stock classes will run the small pipe, any dry clutch and one of the previously listed four mandatory flywheels.
All tech procedures will come from the 2013 WKA Technical Manual. The new Tech Manual is currently at the printer and will be mailed to WKA members in the coming days. If you're not a member, call WKA at 704-455-1606 to order a 2013 Tech Manual.
The Daytona Dirt World Championships entry form, which will denote the daily schedule, will be available soon.

Faculty Spotlights
Kenneth Atchinson
Math/Computer Science
Atlanta, GA
Bachelors, Electrical Engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology
Masters of Science, Computer Science, Kent State University
Areas: Computer Security, Computer Architecture, Operating Systems, Networking, System Administration
Started working at BW in 1995 in the Information Technology department as System Administrator (2 years) and Network Manager (2 years). Joined the faculty ranks in 1999.
Questions and answers
Why did you choose to teach at BW?
I choose to teach at BW because I love the type of students that attend BW. They are inquisitive, intelligent and are a pleasure to work with.
What characteristics distinguish BW from other colleges/universities?
BW is a small college, which allows us faculty to give a more "personal touch" to the students. We get more interaction/contact with students than most other institutions, and as such we help our students succeed!
How do you mentor students?
I first listen and hear what they are saying. They have lots of great ideas but usually no life experience in moving their idea to a goal and then to a milestone to be achieved. I use my experience and the resources of the College (Career Services, Counseling Center, Student Success Center) to help them achieve their dream.
What do students like best about your class?
I believe they respect my knowledge and experience that I bring to the classroom. Computer Science is a rapidly changing field and I try very hard to "keep current on trends in the field". I then present this information to the students, relating it back to "standards".
If you weren't teaching what would you be doing?
I probably would be doing Security Consulting for a Fortune 500 firm. But I wouldn't be as happy as being at BW.

Is Tate Stevens Married? X Factor 2012 Relationship Update
Have you been in love with X Factor Season 2 finalist Tate Stevens ever since he stepped foot onstage? You're not alone. The 37-year-old country singer with that "aw, shucks" charm ranked No. 1 in the first live results week! Then, during his moving cover of Shania Twain's "From This Moment," basically every woman watching fell hard for the Kansas-City based construction worker.
Bad news, ladies (and interested men)! Tate is happily married to his wife — and even dedicated that Shania cover to her. Tate and Ashlie met in high school and have been happily married ever since! They also have two darling children.
Sorry, single ladies of America. Might we suggest Vino Alan?
