In light of the recent ruling by Florida U.S. District Court Judge Roger Vinson it is interesting while at the same time very frustrating to hear the analysis on whether Obamacare is constitutional or unconstitutional. One jaw dropper I heard today was from Michael Medved when he said Obamacare is unconstitutional, but that single payor or the public option would not be, merely because of the power of taxation. He stated very simply that since the federal government has the power of taxation that it can do whatever it wants with that tax money. He just leaves out about three-fourths of the picture needed to come the correct conclusion that any federal involvement in any health care program such as Obamacare is unconstitutional. The federal government does have the power of taxation, but, but, but, those taxes are authorized to be spent only on an enumerated power, or something necessary and proper in order to carry out an enumerated power—it is just that simple.
Another stupid statement I heard was from Bill O'Reilly and Megyn Kelly during their discussion about this ruling. O'Reilly keeps bringing up the auto insurance safety issue argument while saying the "government" has the authority in safety concerns to get involved. O'Reilly doesn't understand that the federal government has no such authority to mandate auto insurance, none, zip, zero, nada. He doesn't even seem to understand that there are actually separation of powers not only between the executive, legislative and judicial branches, but also between the state and federal governments. His, and Medved's constant use of the term "the government" leaves one very important question to be answered—which government? Then Kelly stated that the commerce clause gives congress the ability to do almost anything—no it doesn't. The commerce clause gives congress the authority to regulate interstate commerce, and that's it. It doesn't give the authority to regulate things that affect interstate commerce, such as the insane ruling in the 30's that a man couldn't grow wheat for his own consumption, because it affected interstate commerce.
It is amazing to me that seemingly intelligent individuals are so willing to accept such unconstitutional misguided notions. Their policy is, Oh well, the courts have decided, there is nothing we can do except go along to get along. There is a saying that goes something like this; At first, a man exposed to criminal activity will abhor it. As he is exposed to it longer he will become indifferent to it, and with continued exposure he will become to embrace it. This is exactly what has happened in respects to the unconstitutional activity of the executive, legislative and judicial branches of the federal government. The only way to battle such rights robbing stupidity is to constantly and unapologetically argue that the federal government return to a constitutional form of government. We can't reverse everything, but we can reverse much of it with time, and allow the states to handle issues that affect each of us so profoundly. Such decisions should be left to those near to us, not by someone in a far away state.

"iPad mini" appears in Apple Online Store suggested search results, but...
"iPad mini" is currently showing up as a suggested search result in Apple's online store. But so is "iPad air". And "iPad nano". And "iPad little". And more.
Search results from Apple.com have previously identified accurate product names, including the iPhone 5, but past behavior isn't always an indicator of future behavior. Maybe it's just an anomaly in Apple's database. Or maybe, just like iOS firmware strings have been found for iPhone 10,1, maybe someone on Apple's team is having a little fun this weekend.
The hilarity should end on October 23 at the iPad mini event. Until then, enjoy our iPad mini redux preview, and the screens below. Let me know if you find any other good ones.

"iPad mini" appears in Apple Online Store suggested search results, but...
No iPad Micro? :)
People, I believe it's not Apple doing this, but customers!
When you start typing something in on Google, it starts suggesting searches. Did Google program any of these? No. They're based on the most-searched-for terms that have been inputted by users.
I suspect this works the same way. Many unknowing people who've just heard rumours about iPad mini think it's available to buy, so they search for it. Then, the search box stores all of these entries.
That's how I'm pretty sure it works.
It already does that. Go to google and search "imac with w" and it'll suggested windows and other variants.
This really is worthless news and a worthless article, if you have ever actually used search on a site before you will know that the engine will suggest results based on all content or content that has been selected to be searched on said site, so in the case of this, all it is is that Apples search engine is returning results for any links that contain both of the words, for instance if you search ipad little here in the uk you will get a set of headphones due to the fact that the product listing contains both the words ipad and little, nothing to do with someone fooling around at Apple or even a product launch, I mean do you really think Apple would give the game away that easily.
Of course they would. They have done silly stuff like this in the past. Just because searching for "iPad little" and hitting the submit button will take you to a page, that doesn't mean that "iPad little" or "iPad lite" will show up as pre-defined search suggestions.
Did you wake up cranky or something?
I think you're both right in that it isn't Apple programming this, but nicholasgriffin just has the opinion that Apple wouldn't give away something this easily. That's all!

Academic Renewal
Undergraduate students who have been readmitted or reinstated after a period of absence of five (5) calendar years or longer are eligible for academic renewal, provided they have not attended any post-secondary school during the five years. Academic renewal for the student signals the initiation of a new grade point average to be used for determining academic standing.
This provision allows University System of Georgia degree-seeking students who earlier had experienced academic difficulty to make a fresh start and have one final opportunity to earn an associate or bachelor's degree.
Renewal applies to institutional grade point averages only and many financial aid regulations require inclusion of all attempted courses to be included in any award process. Check with the financial aid office for details about how renewal effects financial aid.
For complete details about this policy, see the Registrar's Office.

I sure wish Apple made these devices in a way that didn't make jail breaking so necessary for some of us. It'd be great to have the latest and greatest features right away instead of having to wait for the tethered jb, untethered jb, and then the kind guinea pigs who test it out for us chickens.
iOS 5 untethered jailbreak teased, should work on iOS 5.0.1 as well
pod2g has posted a video showing off an untethered jailbreak for iOS 5. When and if it will be made public has yet to be said.
hello. No it does not rely on [Charlie Miller's code signing vulnerability]. Next step do the same on iOS 5.0.1. Should be quick.
According to later a tweet sent out by pod2g, it looks as if it will work on iOS 5.0.1 which is great news for all the folks that already updated.
Tons of questions from my nice followers. Too early to answer. Will work on iOS 5.0.1, will try iPad 2 and 4S after others are ready.
I'm secretly (ok, not so secretly) crossing my fingers that an untethered solution will follow (heck, I'll take tethered at this point) for the iPhone 4S.
An untethered jailbreak is one that doesn't require an iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad be plugged via USB dock cable to properly reboot, and typically seems harder and takes longer to achieve than tethered jailbreaks. While tethered gets the job done, an untethered solution is always preferred.

iOS 5 untethered jailbreak teased, should work on iOS 5.0.1 as well
Apple is fascists. You want openness and freedom to do what you want and customize your phone or tablet ? Then you are using the wrong os, android is free open source software and every new android device is jail broken untethered before it hits retailers. The UI of android and shortcuts with multitouch actions is worlds ahead of apple. The pull dOwn notification bar has been in android for years. Apple is losing becuz ppl don't like to be limited or sheltered.
If u'r crossing your fingers for the iPhone 4s, I'm crossing my whole arms for even a Tether one for the iPad2
me too i need any jailbreak for ipad 2
I thought that Untethered JB was available on the 3GS already... let's see work it on a iPhone 4, then I'll get excited.
from the Jailbreak Wiki Article (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IOSjailbreaking#Detailsofrecentreleasesofjailbreaking_tools)
"Jailbreak for old-bootrom iPhone 3GS models are untethered on all versions, because of the use of 24kpwn, which exists only in the MB models of the iPod touch 2G and iPhone 3GS old boot-rom."
An iPad 2 Jailbreak has been long overdue, and I honestly hope one will finally come out soon (X-Mas Gift, New Years gift??).
iOS is still in demand? webOS is better developed.
Oh yeeess hope to try when this comeout.

A chiropractor who owns the clinic in North Charleston that state officials believe could be connected to three hepatitis B cases said the center is looking at the device used to sterilize medical equipment.
The S.C. Department of Health and Environmental Control issued a public health order against the Tri-County Spinal Care Center this week because three patients have been diagnosed with acute hepatitis B. All three received injections at the center on the same days in February.
Chiropractor Cameron Wills, who owns the center, said in a prepared statement there is no record that the clinic's device used to sterilize medical equipment — an autoclave — ever malfunctioned.
"To provide assurance to the public, we are going through the process of triple-checking the autoclave. Because we use prepackaged, sterile supplies, the autoclave is used for a very limited number of procedures. We still are awaiting a finding from DHEC regarding the source of the patients' hepatitis B contamination," said Wills, who hired Charleston PR & Design, a public relations firm, to handle press inquiries.
A massage therapist who formerly worked at the center said the clinic's autoclave malfunctioned last year.
Dana Ball, who worked as an independent contractor at the center on Dorchester Road from July to November last year, said she once reported to a supervisor that the autoclave's door was not properly sealed during sterilization. An autoclave uses a combination of high pressure and steam to sterilize equipment, including some needles.
"I alerted my supervisor. It was out of my scope of practice," said Ball, who now owns a massage therapy practice.
DHEC says 23 other patients are potentially at risk of contracting hepatitis B because they received similar injections at the center in February.
Until the cause of the infections is uncovered, the health department has ordered the Tri-County Spinal Care Center to stop performing all invasive procedures at the clinic on Dorchester Road. Two other locations in Summerville and West Ashley are not affected by the order.
"This is very shocking to us," Wills said in the statement. "We are working feverishly with DHEC to scrutinize every element of our procedures."
Hepatitis B is a liver disease that is often contracted through unprotected sex or illegal intravenous drug use. Symptoms include dark urine, jaundice, nausea, vomiting and joint pain. It can develop into a lifelong, chronic condition.

PIKEVILLE, Ky - In a year that the budget for the Pike County Fiscal Court has had deep cuts due to a shortage of coal severance funds, some magistrates are questioning spending money for new equipment for the county's road department.
The Fiscal Court leases one new tandem dump truck for each of the county's six districts annually. Although the cost of the leases went up this year, the county is guaranteed 85 percent return on the purchase price at the end of the one year lease term.
The court received bids for leases on six new 2014 dump trucks from Worldwide Equipment of Prestonsburg of $126,628 a total of $759,268 for the six trucks for the road department and leases on two trucks for the solid waste department, of $153,538 each or $307,076 total.
District Five Magistrate Hilman Dotson said since the county is struggling to balance the budget, the Court should explore the possibility of not leasing new trucks.
"If we are in such bad shape, are we going to be financially able to do these trucks this year?" Dotson asked. "We're looking at $759,000. We have a work session Thursday to work on our budget. Would this be something that would ease some of the hurt we have in our budget?"
"We have a deficit of $3.3 million in our $35 million budget this year.," Rutherford said. "We will still have a budget of $31 million. This is equipment we have to use for vital services. We are going to have to continue to provide services; people expect us to provide them. We have to keep our roadways and bridges safe, and keep our garbage picked up. We have to provide those services no matter what we regarding a balanced budget. We are going to have to have this equipment."
"If we don't have anybody to drive the trucks, if we have to lay people off, then I don't know why we want to buy them," Dotson said. "I understand we are talking about laying off one person in each road department, they cut our road funds quite a bit. If we don't have the money to hire people to drive the trucks and buy the gravel and blacktop, then its a question we need to discuss."
The motion to enter into a lease for the new trucks passed four to two, with Magistrates Doston and Harris voting against the leases.
In other business, the Court appointed members to the Pike County Heritage Commission.
"We want this to continue to be an active board," Judge Rutherford said. He said that the Commission is responsible for Veteran's Hall in the Courthouse, and that an umbrella group is needed to help promote the area and take advantage of the current enthusiasm for Hatfield McCoy tourism. Betty Phillips Howard, David Deskins, Chris Coleman, Anthony Hawkins, Bruce Hopkins, Stewart McFee, Randall Osborne, Everette Johnson and Jim Caine were named for the Heritage Commission.
Deputy Judge John Doug Hayes headed the effort to fill the positions on the Commission.
"We tried to come up with nine people who are first rate historians," Hayes said. "I think we have done that, many of these people have published books on the history of the area. We also tried to be all inclusive of the county, and the people we have named are distributed geographically all over the county."
Judge Rutherford also gave reports on the success of the 2013 Hillbilly Days Festival, the spring PRIDE paint up-clean up-fix up drive held throughout the county and a recent festival held to raise awareness of autism.
Rutherford also spoke about the horse trail ride that will be held May 18 at Fishtrap Lake/Pike County Horse Trail. Rutherford said 300 riders were expected, and the the Pike County Extension office will be a new sponsor the event.
The traveling Vietnam Memorial Wall will be on display at the Bob Amos Park Soccer Complex on July 3 from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. and July 4-7 from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Phoenix PD chief: We're keeping an eye out for fired LA cop
PHOENIX -- Christopher Dorner has a vendetta against the police and he's vanished, inciting a massive manhunt in several states, including Arizona, and Mexico.
While the frantic search Dorner continues in California, Phoenix police officers are on alert.
"It wouldn't be unusual for him to show up in any city in the United States," said Phoenix Police Chief Daniel Garcia.
Garcia said as soon as his department started to receive intelligence from Los Angeles, they started to pass the information along to patrol officers.
"It's scary for police officers, for our citizens. It's alarming. When you have someone who's attacking police and their families it is disturbing."
Garcia said he's ordered officers to keep a closer watch on the interstates, bus stations and airports.

"I believe MMA should not [have] rounds," St-Pierre told MMAjunkie.com in advance of his pay-per-view headliner on Nov. 16 at Las Vegas' MGM Grand Garden arena. "A regular fight, for example, should be 15 minutes nonstop, and a championship fight should be 25 minutes nonstop."
It's been over a decade since his vision was a reality. Time limits were replaced by rounds at UFC 21, which took place in 1999 at the height of MMA's days as a fringe sport sacked by serious political opposition. In 2000, the unified rules were utilized by the New Jersey State Athletic Control Board, which was the first athletic commission to sanction MMA.
Among them, non-title fights require three five-minute rounds, while title fights get five five-minute rounds.
Additional rules and protocols have appeased adversaries and allowed the sport to enter the mainstream, though some of them, such as the 10-point must system for scoring and the banning of knees to a downed opponent, remain a source of griping among hardcore fans.
St-Pierre's wrestling-centric style often gets the same reception from the MMA faithful, though the champ believes the system he currently works within makes it harder to deliver excitement.
"I think by doing rounds, we're breaking the momentum of the fight and making the fight different," he said. "I think the rounds have been added in the past because they want it to be more similar to boxing, but I believe in MMA, we are our own sport. We should not try to copy any other sport.
"If you want to see two guys fighting each other and see who's the best man, let them fight. Don't stop the fight until it's finished. If there were no rounds, I believe there would be way more finishes."
St-Pierre (24-2 MMA, 18-2 UFC), who first called for time-limit fights in April, also wants to see improved drug testing implemented across the board for athletes. He currently is enrolled with the Voluntary Anti-Doping Agency, which utilizes out-of-competition testing, though a behind-the-scenes snafu with Hendricks (15-1 MMA, 10-1 UFC) and his reps nixed his participation.
The longtime welterweight champion, whose fight with "Big Rigg" is his ninth attempted title defense, said enhanced testing will bring MMA closer to bigger mainstream sports. Most of them employ periods or breaks. But he wants to see action to its natural end, or at least as close as possible.
"The fight would be way more fantastic, and the show will be better," St-Pierre said. "That's what I would change about the rules."

Certified organic, shade grown, and Fair Trade. The growers of this coffee are members of the Oromia Coffee Farmers Co-op, a large cooperative with 22,734 farmer members. This coffee also just became certified Fair Trade. Yirgacheffe is a prized variety among many coffee connesiurs for its intense brightness, citrusy floral notes, and delicate chocolate sweetness. Perfect for those who prefer a robust african coffee. This coffee offers a sweet, light-bodied cup with a hints of citrus, a chocolate roast taste, and an aromatic finish. Best for a City to Full City roast, as some of the more delicate aromas and flavors are lost in a darker roast, and a too-light roast will have a sour, acidic note.

Stately elegance on the Tuscan Riviera
taking a mid-morning coffee on the roof terrace whilst enjoying the views of Versilia.
The Tuscan Riviera is a soothing scene of yellowstone canopies,
wrought-iron verandas and colourfully patterned tiles. It's one of
Italy's most popular tourist destinations and the charming Hotel
Plaza e de Russie sits directly in one of its plazas where life
happens at a relaxed pace and the sunshine feels like a warm
embrace. You'll find yourself naturally easing into the carefree
lifestyle and craving the Mediterranean flavours of La Terrazza,
Plaza e de Russie's fine dining restaurant. Presiding high on the
top floor, mouth-watering meals are devoured to a backdrop of
phenomenal ocean views. Here, you'll be served a continental
breakfast of fresh pastries, yoghurt and fruit each morning,
setting you up for a healthy saunter to the fine sandy shoreline of
Viareggio's stunning stretch of beach. A forest of fragrant pine
trees lines the walk home back to the comfort of your room where
well-deserved r&r involving a long-lingering bubble bath or a
snooze before a pre-dinner cocktail in the American Bar will have
you rejuvenated for another gastronomic feast. Top tip: reserve a
room with balcony for the finest sea views.

Yesterday at work I overheard part of a consversation that hurt my brain.
Customer: It's so warm today!
Worker 1: Must be global warming.
Worker 2: Global warming isn't real.
Worker 1: Yes, it is. Go back to school.
Worker 2: Do you believe in God?
Worker 1: Yeah. Yeah.
Worker 2: [looks skeptical]
Worker 1: Yes, I do. Why would I lie about that?
To my great dismay, I missed the part where Worker 2 explains how his belief in God conteracts the Greenhouse Effect. It kind of shocked me that they would talk about something politicized, like climate change, at work. I was blown away when Worker 2 brought up God.
Has anyone else encountered this kind of God-trumps-climate-change thinking? What do you think the Climate Change Skeptic/Theist would have said next? For my edification and general amusement, please tell me, how does this work?
Views: 844
For my edification and general amusement, please tell me, how does this work?
The concept is that (1) God promised never to destroy the world again, and (2) Jesus is coming back soon so we don't have to worry about future generations. Naturally these are the political positions of the Republican party.
(1) God promised never to destroy the world again
*cough* revelations *cough cough*
I forgot to mention; God promised not to destroy the world using a flood. Thus global warming, melting glaciers and rising sea levels may be safely ignored.
Global thermonuclear war and zombie plagues are fair game, though.
Lol, matt. Thank you, Gallup's Mirror. I cannot believe I forgot all that! Two years out from theism, and so much of it seems incomprehensible and irrelevant. I guess my mind made room for new information... It's strange, I used to actually stress out about God's "promise" too, especially after learning about nuclear weapons as a pre-teen.
I wonder if people who rest on God's flood promise realize that it's probably going to be crop failures, water shortages, disease, and resource wars that cause the most human death as a result of climate change? I imagine that once ocean levels reach a certain point, most people will evacuate.
I expect that NIMBYs= 'Not in my back yard', will be the common statement used to describe people newly displaced by a rising sea level. There are places along our Oregon coast that could be new high tide areas rather soon.
As an attempt to determine the amount of carbon our timber land sequestures every year, I started to hit the books, reading websites, and building a database concerning human and environmental sources of carbon and CO2.
The data starts getting very messy if you start from the source/emission side of the question. I have spent the last few days trying to nail down the CO2/carbon emissions just from soils. The human side was rather easy with lots of data from the EPA, DEQ, state governments, that has been kept over several years.
The scientist in me is not really satisfied with statements that seem framed to support a belief, but is sometimes taxed to produce good data sets that would convince anyone one other than a true believer. This deeply upsets me, and causes me to wonder if there is something 'wrong', with either my research skills, or the 'available' evidence?
I was asked not long ago, what my confidence was in the global warming claim, my response was, 'about 80%'. After I wrote a small paper on Mass Extinctions about ten years ago, I noticed a pattern in the palioclimate data, that seemed to imply a correlation between mass extinctions and thermal changes in the environment, with extinctions that seemed to happen at the inflection points of the temperature curves. I did not see much correlation with large asteroid impacks, maybe because of bad data related to continental drift in deep time.
So far my '80%' is about the best I can do. I quess if I toss a coin for global warming in might be right, sometime after I am dead, what a crappy experiment, I most likely will never get to know...;p(.
Yes, 'Bags of mostly water.
But, just maybe the puddle gets to see the world as a vast place, as a puff of water vapor...LOL
I made this into a video 3 years ago :]
Nice. Douglas Adams was superb in so many ways. Did you see the last talk he gave (its a TED talk)? It goes for 1hr 26 minutes and leaves you simply wanting more. There's a good copy on youtube, if you search for "TED Douglas Adams".
Oh, this afternoon I finally figured out the carbon sequestrure issue for our timber, the answer seems to 17 tons of CO2/year, over 25 acres, about .68 tons CO2/acre. Cool...
Oh yes, they almost go hand in hand. Like anything it will have to reach critical fucking mass before we really do anything about it. Until then hopefully small scale solutions will continue to build until the big one is stumbled upon. Go science..

PRESTONSBURG — Philip Baldridge appeared in Floyd County District Court Tuesday after being charged by police last week with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
Baldridge, 55, of Prestonsburg, was arrested last Monday after reports he was seen carrying a semi-automatic assault rifle near a nursing home.
According to Prestonsburg Police Officer George Tussey, who appeared in court to testify in the preliminary hearing, Baldridge was seen by as many as nine witnesses carrying the firearm near the Riverview Nursing Home.
According to Tussey, Baldridge was later found at home, wearing clothes that matched witness statements. Tussey testified that when he asked Baldridge where the gun was, the officers were told it would be in a closet. When the officers could not find the weapon in the closet, Baldridge allegedly told them it was stashed in the attic floorboards in a plastic bag.
Tussey told the court that Baldridge did tell the officers the exact location of the weapon in the attic. According to Tussey, officers retrieved two SKS type assault rifles, and one .22-caliber rifle.
Baldridge's preliminary hearing was put on hold for half an hour or more when no lawyer appeared in court to represent him. Baldridge claimed he was to be represented by Gerald Derossett, though when tracked down in another courtroom, Derossett reportedly told the court official he had not agreed to represent Baldridge in Tuesday's hearing.
Baldridge was assigned an attorney from the public defender's office to represent him during the preliminary hearing. If he so chooses, Baldridge may hire different counsel at a later date.
After hearing testimony from Officer Tussey, District Judge Jimmy R. Marcum remanded the case to a Floyd County grand jury. Baldridge is currently being held in the Floyd County Detention Center. His bond is set at $5,000 cash.
Possession of a firearm by a convicted felon is a Class D felony, which is punishable by 1-to-5 years in prison and as much as $10,000 in fines.

'Race for Change' 5K will support advocacy work of Brian MattersWritten by Danielle Stanton | | firstname.lastname@example.com
The night Brian Hoeflinger died changed many people's lives forever, none more so than his parents and family.
The 18-year-old Ottawa Hills High School senior was killed when he crashed his vehicle into a tree after drinking at a party. The tragedy propelled his parents into a life of advocacy.
Since their son's fatal Feb. 1, 2013, accident, Drs. Brian and Cindy Hoeflinger are passionately working toward a world free from underage drinking and driving.
On May 3, they will host an inaugural 5K race that will take runners past the crash site.
"It's symbolic for the race," Brain Hoeflinger, a neurosurgeon, said. "It's about awareness to show where Brian died."
The course will wind through the streets of Ottawa Hills and onto Edgehill Road, where Brian's vehicle left the road, struck a tree near a bridge over the Ottawa River and caught fire. Brian had been coming home from a schoolmate's party.
The Brian Matters Challenge Run "A Race for Change" will start at 9 a.m. May 3 at the Ottawa Hills High School Stadium, 2532 Evergreen Road.
Hoeflinger said he plans to donate some of the money back to participating schools and will also award some money to the winner of his essay contest. The remainder will go to Brian Matters, the organization the Hoeflingers established to raise money to fight underage drinking in honor of their son.
As part of their advocacy work, the couple have published a book "The Night He Died: The Harsh Reality of Teenage Drinking" and appeared on local and national media, including "Katie," hosted by Katie Couric.
Last June, they raised $40,000 at a golf tournament called Birdies for Brian. Another golf tournament is planned for the fall.
Just recently, they solicited essays from area schools, asking students to write about ways to prevent people from drinking and driving, and currently, they are showing a video during conference calls with a local insurance company.
"Slowly but surely word is getting out. It's a steady, long process," Hoeflinger said. "It's a lot harder than I thought it would be. The hardest part is generating enthusiasm.
"For kids, they still don't think it's going to happen to them," he said. "They have to learn to stand up to say 'It's not cool to drink.' Now that I've lost a son that has died it has taken on a new meaning. How many people need to die before you say it's a real problem? I know the answer to that: One is enough."
Hoeflinger said he'd like the 5K race to become an annual event, like the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure.
All preregistered participants receive a T-shirt. Preregistration ends April 28. Mail-in registration must be postmarked by April 21.
To preregister and for more information, go to www.brianmatters.com. For race updates, follow facebook.com/BrianMatters and Twitter (@Brian_Matters).
A limited number of shirts will be available on race day. Registration opens at 7:30 a.m. May 3 at the Ottawa Hills High School Stadium.
"This race will be a healthy way to bring a greater awareness regarding the topic of teens and alcohol," the Brian Matters website reads. "We would like to challenge as many students, parents and other adults to become involved in a topic that is so important to our youth's future. We need to change the future by starting now and help teenagers make it cool not to drink!"

|Another terrific layered dessert, made with a graham cracker and nut crust, creamy cream cheese filling, topped with a blueberry pie filling and finished with homemade whipped cream. Heaven indeed!
My Blueberry Heaven PieI hope that y'all can bear one more layered dessert recipe because when I ran across this recipe in the Bless Your Heart cookbook, I knew it would be on the to-make list. Don't you just love the name of that cookbook too? Let me tell ya, if you don't own it, you should seriously consider getting it - you'll love it!
The original recipe for this heavenly pie uses canned blueberry pie filling, but since I was recently the recipient of canned fruit products from Oregon I decided to make my own homemade pie filling. I have always loved Oregon Fruit Products because for me, it's the next best thing to having fresh fruit on hand, not only for desserts, but sauces and smoothies too! It's certainly convenient for when those impromptu cravings strike.
Most of the fruit packed by Oregon Fruit Products is grown right in the Northwest and picked within a one day drive of the cannery - now that's fresh! Established since 1935, you know their products are reliable, and they are never packed with preservatives. Only fruit, water, and sugar go into their products - so you can feel pretty good about that too.
If you haven't checked out Oregon Fruit Products, pop on over to visit Erin, The Queen of Tarts, and get inspired. She's been working with the folks at Oregon fruit for 15 years, so that gal knows her fruit!
In the meantime, I hope that you'll try Oregon blueberries for this Blueberry Heaven Pie layered dessert - it'd be great for any potluck, church supper, party or cookout you've got coming up.
Recipe: Blueberry Heaven Pie©From the Kitchen of Deep South Dish
Prep time: 15 min |Cook time: About 30 min | Yield: About 12 servings
Blueberry Filling
- 2 cans of Oregon brand blueberries
- 1/4 cup of granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons of cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons of lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter
Cream Cheese Filling
- 2 cups of crushed graham crackers (about 1-1/2 packs)
- 1/2 cup of powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup of sliced almonds, chopped
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) of unsalted butter
- 1 (8 ounce) block of cream cheese
- 1 cup of granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 2 cups of heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup of powdered sugar
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Drain one can of berries into a saucepan and discard or reserve the other can juices for another dish. Add the cornstarch and half of the sugar into the blueberry syrup. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until thickened. Gently stir in the remaining sugar, the drained blueberries, butter and lemon juice. Set aside to cool.
Mix together the graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar and nuts. Stir in the butter, turn out and press into a 13 x 9 inch baking dish; set aside. Cream together the cream cheese and sugar, add the eggs, mix well and spread over the crust. Bake at 350 degrees F for about 20 minutes; let cool. Spread the pie filling on top. Using an electric mixer, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Spread over the top of the pie filling, cover and refrigerate to set.
Cook's Notes: May also substitute 1/2 cup of chopped pecans or walnuts in the crust.
Shortcut This: Substitute 1 (20 ounce) can of blueberry pie filling, or 4 cups fresh or frozen blueberries and use non-dairy whipped topping, if desired.
