LYBURN — The Hatfield-McCoy Regional Trails Authority announced on Wednesday a new category of sponsorship with a long-term partnership with Element Federal Credit Union, a financial services organization based in Charleston.
According to a release from Mike Pinkerton, Hatfield-McCoy Trails Director of Marketing, the new relationship will allow all Hatfield-McCoy trail permit holders access to low-cost financial services such as vehicle loans and credit cards, regardless of where they live.
"Hatfield-McCoy Trails, as a statutory corporation created by the West Virginia Legislature to generate economic development through tourism in nine southern West Virginia counties, is always seeking innovative new ways to fund the expansion and maintenance of the trail system," Jeffrey Lusk, Executive Director of the Hatfield-McCoy Regional Trail System, said.
The five-year agreement between the two entities will enable riders of ATV, "side-by-side," dirt bike, and 4x4 vehicles who have purchased a Hatfield-McCoy Trails permit from 2009 or later to be members of West Virginia-based Element Federal Credit Union (EFCU). A non-profit cooperative federal credit union, EFCU offers low loan and credit card rates and enhanced savings rates, the release stated. Hatfield-McCoy Trail Riders who join will become members-owners of EFCU and enjoy all credit union-related benefits.
"As a West Virginia-based non-profit credit union, we are dedicated to economic development in the state and the growth of other West Virginia organizations," Linda Bodie, CEO of EFCU, said. "We are delighted to support the passionate and growing Hatfield-McCoy Trails rider community, including the thousands of riders who come to Hatfield-McCoy Trails from around the country, with outstanding financial products and innovative online banking tools."
Bruce "Pork Chop" Melton, a passionate Hatfield-McCoy Trails rider from Rock Hill, S.C., is already a fan of the partnership.
"Hatfield-McCoy Trails is a place where friends bring friends to meet more friends; with this new financial services partner, (it's) making it more affordable for everyone."
"Visitors to the Hatfield McCoy Trails are among the most passionate and loyal people you will ever meet," Pinkerton said. "More than 90 percent of our visitors say they plan to come back, so we're always seeking new ways to add value to their visits and to their lives as off-road vehicle riders. Our partnership with EFCU will open up low-cost credit union services, including vehicle and vacation loans, to our riding community all over the country."
"The partnership helps fund the growth and maintenance of Hatfield McCoy Trails by sharing revenue from the partnership back to the trails for these purposes. It's an ideal way for Hatfield-McCoy Trails riders and fans to support the trails while enjoying enhanced financial service offerings," the release stated.
The release also stated that the partnership opens up credit union services to local West Virginia consumers and businesses in Southern West Virginia counties who may not have had access to a credit union. Through their Hatfield-McCoy Trails rider permit status, those people will now have access to become members of EFCU.
Information about signing up for Hatfield-McCoy special offers, including the free 2013 trail pass, can be found at www.trailsheaven.com/Plan-Your-TRIP/Finance-Your-Trip.aspx or www.elementfcu.org/index.php/hatfield-mccoy-trails, or by calling Element Federal Credit Union at 888-588-1334.
"Due to the competitive financial services offered by EFCU and the funds raised by products such as vehicle loans and credit cards marketed through this partnership, we think this a win-win for our riders around the country, our Southern West Virginia Hatfield-McCoy Trails business community, and the citizens of West Virginia," Lusk said.

I sent a request from my new RE (fertility doctor) to my OB for my records. (If they don't get them before my appointment than they will cancel it.) Got a call from my doctor's copying service that this is going to be $75, just FYI, and would I rather they send the records to me instead or have them not send the complete records. (I looked up Missouri law and apparently they are allowed to charge $17 for handling and then 42 cents a page for copying records.) However, I can't get a clear answer (from google) on if they are allowed to charge me to send records directly to another doctor, requested by another doctor. Does anyone know anything about this?
-They've sent my records to the MFM and a different fertility clinic before with no mention of charges or anything so this has totally caught me off guard.
And for the record, not that I have anything to hide in my records, but I think it's absurd that they are allowed to send my medical records to a third party copying service in the first place. I don't really care if the people at said copying service have had HIPPA training, I didn't sign consent for strangers not even affiliated with my doctor's office to have open access my records!
So this morning I called my RE's office and told them the situation and asked if they could please call on my behalf and ask dr.'s office to fax them the records directly. They said they would try but didn't sound very optimistic (but did sound surprised). She called me back just a few minutes ago to say that they are sending them directly and no charge. It was a "miscommunication".
They are lucky that this worked out the nice way because I had no qualms about showing up during one of their busiest times and saying so the entire waiting room of pregnant women would surely hear, "It was bad enough my baby died while I was in your care, now you are going to charge me $75 to send my records to a doctor that you referred me to!!!" Luckily I didn't have to resort to that, but I was getting ready for it.
*sigh* I just hate how every step along the way is turning into a battle, even for simple stuff like this.

My Air, My Health Winner Announced
On June 4, 2013 EPA and the National Institutes of Health named the team of David Kuller, Gabrielle Savage Dockterman, and Dot Kelly as the winner of the My Air, My Health Challenge. The team recieved a $100,000 award for developing "Conscious Clothing," a wearable, real-time breathing analysis tool that calculates the amount of polluted air a person inhales. Estimates of pollution exposure result from how deeply the person breathes and how much pollution is in the air. See EPA and NIH award $100,000 for air monitoring clothing.
New York Times Blog Features EPA Scientist
EPA research chemist Ron Williams was featured on The New York Times' health blog "Well" for a post about innovative efforts by EPA to support and tap the development of new technologies to monitor air quality (also see "My Air, My Health Winner Announced" above). "These technologies really have exploded in the last five years — cellphone-based technologies, wirelessly transmitted data — but we don't know how well they're performing," explains Williams in the blog, Microsampling Air Pollution.
EPA's Dr. Glenn Paulson Named Board Certified Environmental Scientist

My first pregnancy. My daughters name is Arielle Scarlet, and she was taken from me June 11, 2013.
Early May. I cannot say when I was developing a rash on my neck, that itched me so much, I was waking in my sleep. I called my OBGYN and was told to take an anti histamine. May 20th, I saw my feet swell and my face begin to become cherub like. This continued, and I thought that was to be expected with pregnancy. I called my OBGYN, and she asked if I had eaten anything unusual, it might be tomato or strawberry giving me allergies. I've eaten those things my whole life.
May 26th my back was on fire. Every time I tried to position myself differently, shower, took pain meds, it didn't help. I was crying. I was starting to get very worried, I had a thought that Arielle might be affected by this. I fell asleep, and just thought I was being too worrisome. Now thinking back I should have gone to the doctor.
So there was itching, swelling of my face and feet, back pain. I thought, heat rash, I thought allergies, or pregnancy weight finally showing, back pain I thought because maybe she was sleeping on a nerve?
The pain worsened, it was now in my ribs. When my back hurt and ribs at the same time, I would cry and cry. I was having headaches the whole pregnancy, I didn't think these headaches were any different. But this headache didn't go away.
I was living with all of these symptoms till June 10th. At work my vision was filled with large bright spots in front of my eyes. My back and ribs were at it again. I started googling. And here there were all the symptoms. I told my fiance, I have to get to the hospital. My urine had protein. Within hours, my bloodpressure climbed dangerously. I was put on Magnesium, I was at risk for seizure. Doctors telling me we will have to induce labor. I was given the steroid. But my liver was swelling, my lungs were filling with fluid, and my kidneys were failing. My platelets were low, I needed blood product. They turned the monitor off so I couldn't hear her heartbeat anymore.Labor was induced late at night, my daughter came early morning, as much as I wanted to keeper her in this world.
It all happened so fast, I had severe pre-eclampsia and HELLP. She was 23 weeks. About 5 months and a little more. My baby is with God. I want her back so much.

OKALOOSA ISLAND — It's a new location, but the atmosphere is instantly familiar and instantly Fudpucker's.
After more than 25 years, Fudpucker's Beachside Bar and Grill closed its home on Santa Rosa Boulevard in September to make way for a new Okaloosa Island restaurant. The new location at the former Daddy's Money bar on U.S. Highway 98 is nearing completion and is scheduled to open after Christmas.
View a slideshow from the new Fudpucker's.
"This is in a way a dream come true," said Chester Kroeger, who founded Fudpucker's in 1983 and remains one of the owners. "I've wanted to be on a waterfront location from the very beginning, but was never in a position to do that.
"I got started in Nightown and I had a couple of years on the beach in South Walton, but this store and Fort Walton is the one that gave us the ability to do Destin and then achieve what we achieved," he added. "To be able to come over here and do it here at this waterfront location, it means an awful lot. It's almost the fulfillment of a dream."
Kroeger has big plans for the new Fudpucker's to take advantage of Choctawhatchee Bay. It will feature three restaurants and a Fat Daddy's Arcade.
The traditional Fudpucker's, which will share the same menu as the Destin location, will be on the second floor overlooking the bay. Fudpuckeroni's, a sports bar that will specialize in pizza, wings and other bar food staples, shares the ground floor with Fat Daddy's Arcade.
On the back side will be the outdoors Fudshucker's, a steam shack and raw bar scheduled to open March 1.
The new Fudpucker's also will have its own dock, where it will offer personal watercraft and pontoon boat rentals, as well as parasailing and two charter boats to take people fishing.
"We're going to have the new Crab Island right out behind the dock if I have my way," said Tony Borcyk, who will manage the front of the house.
Boaters will be able to anchor near Fudpucker's and call in to the restaurant to have a pontoon boat pick them up and ferry them to and from the restaurant at no cost. All of the water activities also will start March 1.
When the restaurant opens, there will be a small alligator attraction at the front called Gator Island. Kroeger said plans already have been drawn up for a much larger $500,000 alligator exhibit that he hopes to build in the near future.
Construction on the former Daddy's Money building has been under way for about six months, and the restaurant was expected to open in early November.
"A lot of different things caused the delay," Kroeger said. "The biggest thing was we kept seeing things we wanted to do to make the building better. And every time there's a change, you go through a two- or three-day process to change from this to that. Honestly, we've had no problems whatsoever with oversight from the county. In fact, they've bent over backwards to help us, and all of the contractors here have been phenomenal. It's simply more of a task than I had anticipated.
"There's a lot of things we could have done to get it open sooner, but it wouldn't have been the same building," he added.

Back in the late '80s I used to hit Aaron Zelman's JPFO BBS using QModem and a 2400 baud modem. A lot of us wound up there after being sold down the river by the NRA in 1986.
I lost track of the JPFO after BBSs died out. I eventually found they had moved to a web site, which was probably one of the ugliest sites in the known intarwebz, and recently that Aaron had died and the JPFO had been taken over by someone else.
The current web site has "shrill panic" cranked up to 11, and I'm not seeing anything about what they're actually *doing*, though it might be hidden under all the Flash and dancing animations.
Any JPFO members here? Can someone tell me what they're up to nowadays?

Here's What's Not Going on with BioLogos
Cornelius Hunter's claim that BioLogos advances the "Warfare Thesis" between science and religion is wholly unfounded.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
Cornelius Hunter's claim that BioLogos advances the "Warfare Thesis" between science and religion is wholly unfounded.
Ninety years is a long time, and so much has changed all over the world. But have the cultural perceptions about science and religion changed since the Scopes Trial in 1925?
American thinking about religion and science before the Civil War was substantially informed by the powerful "concordist" metaphor of God as the "author" of two "books," nature and Scripture, which ultimately must agree.
I am growing in my appreciation for a diversity of ears to hear Scripture and a diversity of cultures to interpret God's call on our lives.
In none of these cases was Newton inserting God into a "gap" into our knowledge that science would someday fill. Rather, his prior belief in God helped him arrive at attitudes and ideas that have unquestionably advanced our understanding of nature.
Historian Peter Harrison argues that harmony between faith and science is not as simple as it seems, and some versions of "harmony" can do damage to the Christian faith.
John Calvin really believed that the sun revolved around the earth, but we shouldn't dismiss the rest of his theology because of this error.
God invites us to understand his power and nature through studying what has been made.
Conflicts occur when people argue one worldview against another. They may be arguing Atheism versus Monotheism, then pull out science as a weapon saying, "science proves I'm right because of this or that..." In my view, science is rather more limited than this. Science has a lot of interesting resonances with the big questions, and can inform them, but I don't believe it can answer them.
There is often a worry that working in or studying science is a threat to faith, but stories of scientists who are Christians in the top ranks of academia show that this is not the case.
How should we interpret the Bible? What is the role of tradition? What is the role of science? Who gets to decide whether traditional interpretations need to change?
"I believe that we must now ask for more than simple avoidance of cognitive dissonance. I believe we should seek for cognitive consonance."
Carl's dramatic lines that opened his Cosmos were repeated in Cosmos II: "The universe is all there is, or was, or ever will be." When I told Haines Stiles that many people took that as a statement of atheism, he responded with surprise. "Really?" he said. "We just put that in because it sounded poetic!"
A deep love for scripture, coupled (ironically) with a lifelong struggle with religious doubt, led Robert Boyle to write several important books relating scientific and religious knowledge. We explore aspects of this fascinating interaction.
In this series, Ryan Pettey offers several clips from his powerful documentary "From the Dust". This feature-length film is divided up into various sections, each of which wrestles with the difficult problems that arise when reconciling Scripture with the theory of evolution. A light of hope dawns on the science-faith conversation, however, as scientists and theologians engage in honest dialogue about tough issues such as the interpretation of Genesis, the nature of the Fall, and the idea of random design. Their profound insights are sure to enlighten all minds, raise deeper questions, and provoke new thought.

Sifu Justin Och FOOMs YouTube
This thread is for a discussion of the Excuse Me Sir Step Away From My YouTube Videos....FOOMFOOMFOOMFOOMFOOM.
So, how long has Bullshido been making with the funny videos?
At least 3 years, far as I can recall. Thus far nobody....not even the family of KillDozer, has raise a stink about the PARODY of a video and pulled a CopyRight argument out of their Chunning ass and got YouTube to cocktuck as quickly as Sifu Justin Och. Yes, that SifuOch. He of the FOOMFOOMFOOM legend.
An example, of the video in its original form, ripe for Parody.
YouTube - Sifu Och Wing Chun Kung Fu - car self defense - basics
Fucking sakes, man....GEOGE LUCAS is less protective of his "Intellectual Property" and the ferocity you have shielded "FOOMFOOMFOOM" would make the robotic and frozen corpse of Walt Disney pop a cybernetic boner from deep inside the bowels of the Matterhorn, as if he just spied Elian Gonzalez.
Please, share your recollections of This Truly Iconic Bullshido Character and any and all FOOM Macros.
Thank you, and goodnight.
Yes, I am smarter than you are.

GREENSBORO, N.C. --- Z. Mason (Nashville, Tenn.) led a furious comeback effort for the Chattanooga Mocs Sunday afternoon in Greensboro Coliseum. It fell short, however, as Chattanooga dropped a 77-69 decision at UNCG.
Mason tallied a double-double with 18 points and 11 rebounds. He and his squad could not overcome the UNCG-record tying 41-point performance by the Spartans' Trevis Simpson.
UTC trailed by as many as 14 in the second half as two Simpson free throws put UNCG up 48-34 with a little more than 17 minutes to play. The Mocs bounced back.
Lance Stokes (Orlando, Fla) capped an 11-2 run with an old-fashion three-point play with 11:28 remaining. Stokes had the final five points in the spurt to cut the lead to five, 50-45. He and his mates held the Spartans to just one field goal for nearly six-and-a-half minutes to close the gap.
Jordan Potts' layup with 7:52 to go made it a 12-point cushion for the Spartans, 60-48. That's when Mason took over. The burly junior scored 13 of the Mocs next 17 points. He scored inside, outside and at the line.
He made it an eight-point game, 63-55, on a three-pointer with 6:30 left. Two free throws on the next possession made it a six-point affair. His driving layup with 2:57 cut it to four, 67-63. Ronrico White (Knoxville, Tenn.) made a steal on the defensive end leading to a Mason jumper dicing the margin to two, 67-65, with 2:14 to play.
That was as close as it would get for the Mocs. Back-to-back possessions with turnovers doomed Chattanooga's comeback chances. Simpson and the Spartans made the plays down the stretch to garner the win.
Simpson was sensational. He hit 14 of 25 shots including seven of 13 from beyond the arc while adding seven rebounds to his 41-point total. Nicholas Paulos came off the bench to chip in 11 points, while David Williams posted seven points, nine rebounds and four steals.
White had 15 points, four rebounds and three steals for the Mocs. Gee McGhee (Baton Rouge, La.) added 12 points to go with a career-high six assists. He also had four rebounds and two assists.
Simpson was the story of the game. He scored 27 of his 41 in the first half. He staked the Spartans to a 41-31 halftime advantage.
UTC scored the first seven points of the game as it took five minutes for UNCG to find the bottom of the net. Down 11-4, the Spartans went on a 14-0 run capped by Potts three-ball at 10:51 for the 18-11 lead. That swelled to 13, 32-19, with 5:15 left on one of six Simpson first-half treys.
Chattanooga battled back. Farad Cobb's (West Palm Beach, Fla.) three and two Sam Watson (Knoxville, Tenn.) free throws made it a seven-point game going into the half's final possession. UNCG ran the clock down and Simpson drained a 28-footer with two seconds left to send the Spartans into the break ahead 10.
The Mocs reach the mid-way point in the SoCon schedule next week at Georgia Southern. The squad plays Saturday, February 2, with a 7:30 p.m., scheduled start.

It has the capability of serving the entire state according to the article and is equiped to monitor up to two babies and the mother throughout transport. The helicopters are specially equipped to handle the care for our Indiana moms! Faster access/response, to me, means hope for greater success stories on the PE front!

Claire P. Voelker, 84, of Waterbury, Vermont, formerly of Garden City, New York, passed away peacefully on Friday, January 27, 2012.
Born Claire Patricia Rose Craven on November 5, 1927, in Jamaica Queens, NY, she was raised by parents Blanche and Clarence with her sibling Blanche and cousins Robert and Bruce (McCarthy). The family resided briefly in Norwalk, Connecticut, before returning to New York in Flushing, Queens. Claire graduated from St. Agnes High School, Flushing, in 1944; Adelphi University in 1948; and completed her master's in education from Adelphi in 1976.

Loving wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, teacher and friend, Claire enriched the lives of many through her kindness, generosity and passion for living. Claire loved her many friends and enjoyed spending time on Long Island laughing with them. She eagerly traveled throughout the Northeast to visit and spoil her seven grandchildren. "Noonie" always brought a smile.
Claire is survived by her children, Patricia Halloran, Jo Ann Tacchi, Robert Voelker III, Peter Voelker, John Voelker and Charles Voelker; seven grandchildren, Matthew, Jennifer, Rachel, Daniel, Robert, Carolyn and Andrew; five great-grandchildren, Barrett, Connor, William, Emmett and Lillian, and her "other children" (spouses) Mike, John, Dawn and Kim. In addition, she leaves behind many whose lives she has touched and will be remembered for her gentle personality, signature intelligence and extraordinary sensitivity.
A Mass of Christian Burial was celebrated from St. Andrew Catholic Church, 109 South Main Street, Waterbury, VT, on Wednesday, February 1, at 11 a.m. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the American Cancer Society (www.cancer.org) and/or Central Vermont Home Health and Hospice, 600 Granger Road, Barre, VT 05641, (www.cvhhh.org). To send online condolences visit at www.perkinsparker.com and Facebook. Assisting the family is the Perkins-Parker Funeral Home and Cremation Service in Waterbury.

The structure at the northwest curve of Mary Murray Boulevard hasn't been an essential component of Charleston dining for more than a century, but it's a building familiar to Hampton Park runners, joggers and strollers. It now serves as an office for the city's parks department
In 1901, though, the restaurant it housed was considered "one of those places ... everybody must eat at one time or another" by The News and Courier. The Wayside Inn was one of the primary restaurants at the South Carolina Inter-State and West Indian Exposition, a regional fair that ran from December 1901 until June 1902.
According to the story provided by Kevin Eberle, author of "A History of Charleston's Hampton Park," restaurant owner Emma Brinton served up "old-fashioned cooking such as every one likes, even though it may be more fashionable to talk about French cooks."
"Visitors to the restaurant could go there to avoid having to return all the way back home for a meal," Eberle says. "Trolley lines in those days would have taken 30 minutes or so to get back and forth, so it was convenient."
The restaurant also was referred to as The Colonial Farm House. So far as Eberle knows, no menus survive.
Yet the building outlasted the Expo's popcorn and peanut booths, and every other structure erected for the event, which drew Theodore Roosevelt and more than half a million visitors (a tally which disappointed organizers): The former Wayside Inn is the only Expo structure still standing.

Comments about Teeter Hang Ups Lynx Back Stretcher:
The LYNX BACK STRECHER is the most innovative tool to utilize and is the next best thing to a trip to the physical therapist's office for a traction session without the expensive co-pay! One will be impressed by its solid construction and simplicity in design! Easy to adjust to one's frame, etc., it's ready to use in minutes!
The LYNX is effective for stretching those troublesome ligaments and back muscles, while noticeably relieving pressure, as it gently separates the vertebrae of the spine. Having suffered from a touch of scoliosis and mild sciatica, my back has never felt better since using the LYNX.
Prior to, I had tried inversion tables, which also did the trick of relieving my pain; however, the act of being hung upside down was not for me and was somewhat uncomfortable, as it requires one to be suspended for a good length of time to obtain any benefit. Notwithstanding, for those with preexisting or undiagnosed medical issues, i.e. high blood pressure, increase of pressure on the optic nerve caused by glaucoma, et. al, the increased pressure to one's head could lead to catastrophic injury or possible death (with the onset of a stroke (i.e. rupture of an artery in the head), etc.). This is a concern since many Americans, along with Diabetes, have high blood pressure issues but don't even know it! Many are overweight and don't see a doctor regularly. As such, the inversion table is clearly not recommended for everyone!
The LYNX, however, is a tool that can be used by anyone. From a medical standpoint, it's essential that one consult with a physician prior to embarking on any "exercise" routine. The fact that one "controls" the amount of pressure to utilize the LYNX, for most normal and healthy people, I would surmise that there would not be any negative side-effects borne by utilizing this tool on a daily basis.
I wholeheartedly recommend the LYNX for long-time backpain sufferers! Without a doubt, it will be an inexpensive investment in your future Rx against nagging backpain and/or relief from spinal stenosis which is caused from compression on the discs which press on the nerves leading to sciatica issues, etc. The LYNX will effectively stretch and separate those troublesome vertebrae and give instant relief. In turn, with this relief, one will feel more energetic to perform additional abdominal exercises which will strengthen one's core muscles and will further enhance the overall health benefits by alleviating more strain on the back by enabling one to rely more on those abdominal muscles and less on the back!
The EINSTEIN effect! It just makes sense! Get the LYNX!

That last weak goal by Howard really deflated the Wings. This series has lots of momentum shifts within the game.
The powerplay time is what really fuels the Wings momentum. Its a break from the physical play and gives them some open ice to work with. They basically went the last 25 minutes without any real pp time. The 6 on 4 and 6 on 3 at the end were nice but the game was already lost.

A terrific series and a fairly decent low-budget horror flick made it a good week to rent, though a less than auspicious ending for 2012.
"Looper" — Time travel is always a tricky business. It gets even trickier in the future postulated here, as organized crime has a piece of the action. Now the bad guys go send a killer back in time to rub you out before you threaten their operations. This would have been an awesome flick for a young Martin Scorsese, but it gets fumbled. The budget is huge, so there is plenty of eye candy. The story has an assassin encountering a guy who seems to know his every move. Turns out he should, because he is the same guy, just older. Interesting idea, but less than exciting execution. Joseph-Gordon Leavitt has the lead and Bruce Willis is his older ego.
"The Thompsons" — A family of blood-drinking serial killers flees the country and try to hide out in England in this sequel to "The Hamiltons." The first film was a good low-budget yarn that was part of the first "After Dark Horror Festival." The sequel finds the Hamiltons now calling themselves Stuart, but they wind up falling in with a family of vampires who have their own agenda. Good and gory.
"Justified: Season 3" — Marshall Givens returns for another go-round with Kentucky criminals in this excellent season of the low-key crime series. Givens winds up dealing with the aftermath of shutting down a crime syndicate. This time out, the players include a mafia big wig (the icy Neal McDonough) and an African American loan shark who runs his hollow from the ground up. Good stuff that gives Givens plenty of opportunity to shoot it out with the bad guys. Timothy Olyphant returns as Givens and gets great support from Mykelti Williamson and Walton Goggins.
"2012 Best Pay-Per-View Fights" — The best wrestling matches from the WWE pay fights are all collected here to save you a dollar if you had the patience to wait for it.
Next week we take a break. Not because we had an exhausting year, but because the studios are taking a break until Jan. 8 when they start up releasing new product. Enjoy your champagne.

Wind: 0 mph
By Bob McNamara
Our 2,000-plus students are back in school for another year, about a quarter of them in a different school than the one they attended last year! During their 12 to 14 years of public schooling, they will all change schools at least three times as they move from elementary to middle to high school.
Students from our five elementary and two middle schools all spend their last four years at Harwood Union High School. As the superintendent of schools, it is my job to ensure that the instructional opportunities provided to all of our students prepare them to successfully transition between the schools they attend in Washington West Supervisory Union and into higher education and the workforce.
The purpose of this letter is to introduce you to a project we are working on across our schools in Duxbury, Fayston, Moretown, Waitsfield, Warren and Waterbury to improve writing.
Why Writing?
Compared to other states, Vermont students' writing scores are significantly better than most. Compared to other schools in Vermont, Washington West students' writing scores are above average. So you may wonder why we selected writing for improvement.
The answer is simple -- we are not satisfied with our students' level of performance. Our students score "above average" in an area where "average" is very weak. For us, it is not good enough to be better than most when around half of our students aren't meeting the writing standards:
• At the national level, only one-quarter of students tested scored at or above proficient.
• At the state level, slightly more than half (53 percent) of the fifth and eighth grade students scored at the "proficient or above" levels on the Vermont state assessment (NECAP) in 2005. That percent decreased to 48 percent in 2006.
• Locally, Washington West students scored higher than the state average but still, only 55 percent of our students scored "proficient or above" in 2005 and 2006.
• There are similar results at the high school level where only about half of Harwood students tested in grade 10 meet or exceed the writing standards on the state exam.
Nationally, writing has been identified as in need of significant improvement (National Commission on Writing report, 2003). The findings of the Commission are compelling:
• Two-thirds of 1,200 major American companies surveyed said that their employees need to be able to write effectively to be successful in their jobs. That number increases significantly in some industries such as finance, insurance and real estate.
• 75 percent of government agencies report that writing skill is part of what is considered before workers are hired, and 60 percent report that promotions are influenced by writing skills.
• The types of on-the-job writing expected have changed and continue to change. In addition to the traditional technical reports, formal reports, memos and other correspondence, email is used almost universally as are presentations using visuals.
The National Commission on Writing report challenged schools K through 16 to:
• Double the amount of time devoted to writing
• Assign writing across the curriculum
• Encourage more out-of-school writing time and have parents reviewing students' writing with them
• Establish ways to assess writing that are fair and authentic
• Strengthen how we use technology to teach, develop, grade and assess writing
• Require writing in every curricular area and in all grades
• Provide developmentally appropriate writing opportunities in all grade levels
• Establish common expectations in writing across disciplines
There are significant challenges to implement the Commission recommendations. Increasing the emphasis on writing will require time -- time for students to write more, time for teachers to read, respond, and assess to increased writing demands, and time for teachers to learn how this is being done and how it could be done locally.
Fortunately, we have a number of our own classrooms where teachers have started to work on these challenges -- many with a good degree of success. We will build on these resources to strengthen our writing program across our classrooms and schools.
This school year, we have the opportunity built into our school calendar for educators to come together to work on these challenges and others. We have eight days built into the school calendar (once a month except January) where students will be released around 12:30 so that teachers and other educators can come together from 1 to 4:30 p.m. to work on improving student performance. There are four areas we are emphasizing: writing, mathematics, civic responsibility, and instructional improvement. I will write about math, civic responsibility, and instructional improvement at later dates.
Robert McNamara is superintendent of schools for the Washington West Supervisory Union.

Billy Wayne Johnson was born May 18, 1956 in Antlers to William Henry and Gertie Mae (Sanders) Johnson. He passed from this life August 26, 2012 in Antlers at the age of 56. Billy married Deborah Tankersley on September 5th, 1988 in Antlers. Billy enjoyed hunting & fishing, but most of all he enjoyed spending time with his family. Billy was preceded in death by his parents: William Henry & Gertie Mae Johnson; sister: Sharlene Henley; brothers: Frank Johnson, Paul Wayne Johnson, Bobby Ray Johnson; and a nephew: Lee Edward Johnson.
Flora Austeen Gilliam the daughter of Dick and Flora (Miller) Gilliam, was born on November 20, 1921 in Pittsburgh, TX. She passed from this life August 24, 2012 in Fort Worth, TX at the age of 90. Austeen was the fifth child of Dick and Flora, with a sister and brother born after her. She used her middle name so as not to be confused with her mother. When most of her brothers were in the military service during World War II, Austeen also decided to serve her country. She joined the Women's Army Corps.
On Saturday, August 25, members of the Pushmataha County Sportsman Club competed in a team bass tournament on Sardis Lake. Contestants fished under cloudy skies with light rain and moderate temperatures for most of the day, which was much more enjoyable than the one hundred plus degree temperatures of the last several bass tournaments.
On Friday, August 24, 2012 the Antlers Bearcats faced off in a home scrimmage against the Haileyville Warriors. The Bearcats did a great job maintaining control of the game and scored 2 touchdowns against Haileyville. The Bearcats defense shutout the Warriors and held them to a scoreless game. The Bearcats were fired up and it was obvious to the fans that they were having a blast playing the game they all love. The Bearcats will play in their season opener Friday, August 31, 2012 in a home game against the Valliant Bulldogs.
Labor day weekend is upon us and for residents of Pushmataha County we all know what that means, other then a day off work on Monday; it means The Annual Choctaw Nation Labor Day Festival and Pow Wow kicked-off on Thursday, August 30,2012, with the Choctaw Nation Princess Pageant in the amphitheater at 7:00 p.m. The Choctaw Village will also be filled with cultural activities.
The results are in! After a tense race between Terry Duncan and John Arthur the County has spoken and Duncan has been named the Sheriff of Pushmatha County.
Duncan received a total of 1,103 votes compared to Arthur's 816 voters. Duncan received 57.48% of the counties total votes.
For the race between Markwayne Mullin and George Faught for the Republican candidate for Representative of District 2 (in Pushmataha County), Faught won with a total of 50.23% of the votes (108). Mullin received 49.77% (107) of the votes.
A Texoma man has died of West Nile Virus, bringing the death toll in Oklahoma to four for 2012.
WNV was claimed the life of Bill Brady, a 77 year old man from Healdton, OK., who was undergoing care at Mercy Hospital in OKC.
Family members say Brady learned he had the virus just a few weeks before his death. His
family members say dealing with the West Nile Virus firsthand has been life changing, and asks everyone to protect themselves and wear bug spray with DEET.
A personal injury collision resulted in a Rattan woman being flown to St. John's Hospital in Tulsa with head injuries on Sunday night.
Shelly Cook, 46 year old female of Rattan, was driving a 2000 Ford northbound on HWY 93 when she rain off the right side of the roadway, over-corrected and ran off the left side of the roadway. The vehicle struck the ground and overturned 3/4 times and came to rest on the driver's side.
Felony embezzlement charges were filed against an Antlers woman accused of making unauthorized charges to a borrowed credit card.
According to information filed in district court, Anita Jane Scott, Antlers, faces a single felony count after a woman who allowed her to borrow her credit card at the HiWay Inn called the Antlers Police Department.
Senator James Inhofe met with residents of Pushmataha County last week at the Wildlife Heritage Center Museum in Antlers.
"Inhofe's visit is a very good thing for the community and a great use of the facility," said Verne Jackson, operator of the Wildlife Heritage Center Museum. "We are open for all parties and candidates to use and I am glad that they are. His visit [Inhofe] gives us and the City of Antlers more exposure."

I am seeing the OB tomorrow afternoon, so I imagine he will go over this then. But I am seeing the OB who I like the least, so not sure how it will go . . . but in the meantime, my curious brain is trying to figure out what all this means . . . (I've got too much thinking time on strict bedrest!) I am 34w4d, so not in too bad of shape at this point if need to deliver early.
My BP last week was 160/98 when I walked in with 2+ protein on the dip, so I had bloodwork and a 24 hr done. Bloodwork came back OK. I got the results from the 24 hr this morning. Next appt on Thursday my BP was a tad lower at 153/90. I normally run 110/70. I had started feeling "off" 2 days before, so wasn't surprised when my BP was high and I was spilling proteins (and had gained 7 lbs in 2 weeks). I was induced with DD due to PE, so figured this was coming.
I think the lab results show that I am definitely spilling protein (but not "too" bad), but that my kidneys are still functioning OK. I'm confused because the 24 hr creatinine level and clearance are high and the blood serum is right on the edge of low, which seems to be opposite of what I would expect from pre-e, right? My other question is if it is normal for the creatinine urine and total urine protein numbers to be in range when the 24 hr #s are out of range?
creatinine clearance 242 (range 88-128 mL/min)
creatinine, ur 24hr 1984.5 (range 800.0-1800.0 mg/24 hr)
creatinine, serum 0.57 (range 0.57-1.00 mg/dL)
egfr if nonafricn am 118 (range >59 mL/min/1.73)

Add OsmAnd. By far the most powerful mapping App for Android.
Uses off-line OSM maps (no data download but online also available) and includes voice guidance, gpx track recording, contours, etc etc.
Is it time for its own category, viz. Offline Navigation (GPS) Apps, ?
For example, I would like to see a comparison between OsmAnd and Copilot Live V9
Just got my first smartphone which runs on Android. I've installed many of your suggested apps and they all seem to be high quality. Thanks for your work on this list.
Hello, JoJoyee...
The photos for Jetpack Joyride and Temple Run are reversed!
Thanx for a great piece of research! Keep it up.
Great list Jojoyee!
I myself love to play games on my phone some now and then. I am a huge fan of racing games and I found GT Racing: Motor Academy Free+ to be one of the best free games around. It is a 400MB download, but if you have a WiFi connection it's worth downloading it.
Audiogalaxy no longer seems to be available on GooglePlay, and the website is also unavailable. This should probably be removed from the Best list. Does anyone know of an alternative?
There's a game... I think it's called 3D Cats or 3D Flying Cats.... it's pretty addictive too but is a battery drainer. The cat meoows when you crash sometimes growls a bit, actumy feel bad for smashing his rocket into a wall.
Es file explorer is universally the best file manager in terms of simplicity and options. Have used it on both HTC and Samsung.
SuperSU is better than Superuser IMHO especially now with the new updates.
Google Drive is awesome for storage space and versatility as you can open and create virtually anything using docs without having to install office software. Kingston Office I think its called is an amazing free office manager of you want one.
Titanium Backup and My Backup are great apk and data tools. My SMS backup is handy too.
I use win amp for music player but Apollo is great as well.
While loitering around Google Play I found this app called SURDOC. This is basically an online backup app. They are presently offering a ridiculous 100GB of storage for a year . So if anyone is looking for a temporary harddisk online you may want to give it a try. Though the survival of the service remains to be seen...
Note :
1. The 100 GB is available via the app store only.
2. Last date to get that much space seems to be 15-01-2013.
3. Only Almighty knows the catch behind?
I Have just upgraded from a HTC Wildfire S to a Samsung GS3. A couple of great Apps I would like to suggest are as follows:
Music Player and Organizer - JetAudio Basic
File Manager - FX
Im extreemely impressed with these two apps so far!

CHARLESTON - The West Virginia Chamber of Commerce (WVCC) have issued a press release voicing their support of the bold education reform that will be proposed during the 2013 legislative session.
Education reform was a major topic of Governor Earl Ray Tomblin's State of the State speech last Wednesday, and will likely be the primary topic of discussion for the Legislature.
"Education in West Virginia must change, and that change begins now," stated the governor.
Steve Roberts, President of the WVCC, stated, "The West Virginia Chamber has several core beliefs for education that includes enrolling all 4 year olds in a quality Pre-K program; every child must be taught by an effective teacher; children must be reading at grade level by 3rd grade; evaluations of schools and personnel that are vital to importance; more exposure to learning opportunities, more time with teachers is needed; and not all children learn in the same way – innovation is the key."
As the governor works to finalize his education bill, the WVCC stands ready to lend its full support to his education reform plan. The WVCC is our state's largest business advocacy organization, representing members in all 55 counties who employ over half of the state's workforce.

Criminal Justice
As long as human beings inhabit the earth, society will face the daunting challenge of dealing with criminal behavior by a disruptive subset of people. As a result, there will always be a strong, important need to fully understand and address this behavior in a fair, consistent manner.
Our criminal justice major covers all facets of criminal behavior, from the psychological and sociological aspects of crime, to law enforcement, criminal investigations and corrections.
Our criminal justice major provides students with a complete overview of the criminal justice system and all the major elements of it. It provides students with a theoretical understanding of criminal behavior, as well as the consequences of criminal behavior.
A strong foundation
As a criminal justice major at Lakeland, you will be challenged with a large variety of courses. The major delves into basic understanding of our criminal justice system, scientific inquiry into the treatment and prevention of criminal behavior and the ethical behavior of those who work within the discipline.
When criminal justice majors leave Lakeland College, they have a very strong foundation, in addition to the specialty courses that lend themselves to the students' chosen area of interest.
Criminal Justice at Lakeland
Traditional paths into a criminal justice career often involve law enforcement or corrections. But while a Lakeland College degree certainly prepares students for those fields, criminal justice degree holders are branching out into many other types of careers.
This major provides opportunities to explore specialized areas such as offender assessment and rehabilitation, criminal investigation, evidence-based "best practices" in criminal justice, race and crime and the understanding of violent crime.
Snapshot of Success
Name: Amanda Knoener
Hometown: Howards Grove, Wis.
Title: Services and shelter coordinator
Business: Safe Harbor of Sheboygan County
Amanda has seen devastating pain and deep despair. But she's also witnessed incredible courage, resiliency and strength.
"I hear it a lot: 'Your job must be hard,'" says Amanda. "But it's one of those jobs you get true fulfillment from, knowing you're making a difference in people's lives. Some days are tough. Some clients are difficult to work with or not ready to make the commitment. Some have alcohol or drug addiction; they turn to these things to mask the trauma in their lives. But others are ready. You veer them onto the right path, and they go forward toward a better life. That's very rewarding."
Safe Harbor is a shelter for victims of domestic abuse and sexual assault. The nonprofit organization provides prevention education, crisis intervention and outreach services to victims and their families. Amanda's job is multi-faceted. She coordinates the occupancy of Safe Harbor's eight rooms, handles case management, guides victims through court proceedings (child support, divorce, criminal charges against abusers) and helps them find apartments and prepare for job interviews, among other duties.
"I'm not here to tell victims to leave, get a divorce or anything like that," says Amanda, a 2011 Lakeland grad who double-majored in criminal justice and psychology. "We're here to educate and provide a safe place. Statistics show that a victim will leave an abuser seven times before leaving for good. We want them to know they can come back to us at any time."
Amanda, who says she's always been "more of a giver than a taker," arrived at Lakeland not knowing what her career path would be. She took an introduction to criminal justice class, loved it and stayed on that track.
She felt comfortable at Lakeland because "the students were nice and generous and the professors knew exactly who you were. They care about you. You're not just a student to them."
Amanda strives to treat those who seek refuge at Safe Harbor with that same warmth.
"They come in crying, upset, totally broken," Amanda says. "Some come in with bruises, battered. You hold their hands through it all. You don't want to see them fall, but sometimes they do, so you help them get back up. Then you see them get excited about a job interview or finding an apartment, and it's like when your kids take their first step. You just want to start cheering."

"Zena Web," by Willamette Professors Andries Fourie and David Craig, is one of the pieces on display in the Art at Zena exhibition.
Zena Forest and Farm provide inspiration for artists
Willamette's Center for Sustainable Communities and the Salem Art Association recently opened an exhibition featuring works from both local and regional artists inspired by the university's Zena Forest — exploring the artists' connections with the land and encouraging thought and action surrounding preservation and sustainability.
The show, on display until April 30 at the Salem Art Association Bush Barn Art Center, stems from a one-day retreat at Zena last summer that allowed the artists to gather inspiration and materials before going on to produce a variety of artwork.
Zena Forest and Farm are Willamette's agricultural, ecological and biological research station in west Salem. The 305-acre forest is one of the few remaining oak woodlands in the Willamette Valley to not be converted to vineyards, housing or farmland. The student-run farm lends its organic food to the university dining services and serves as an opportune composting site for the Composting Club.
The idea for the show came from Catherine Alexander, gallery director of Salem Art Association; Leslie Whitaker, outreach coordinator for Willamette scheduling; and Andrea Foust, coordinator for Willamette's Center for Ancient Studies and Archaeology and the Center for Sustainable Communities.
"The summer retreat was designed to foster individual and collaborative creative works in which the artists could explore their relationship with the local landscape," Foust says. "It also inspired efforts to think about sustainability, the value of our local environment, and its preservation and future."
Inspired by the landscape
Foust, Whitaker and Alexander invited artists who historically had a focus related to the environment. They talked to painters, poets, basket-makers, sculptors, writers, musicians, a filmmaker, a quilter, a stained-glass artist and a woodworker.
Included in the roster is Betty Hageman, a Seattleite who splits her nature-minded art between a graphic design business and exploring sustainability and artistic media in her personal life.
"The work at Zena provides great metaphors for our lives," Hageman says. "I was most impressed by the controlled burning to reintroduce endangered species to the area. It speaks loudly to the human necessity to purge ourselves of negative thought in order to revert back to our own natural states."
Her contribution, entitled "Soil Horizons/Personal Horizons," is a floor-to-ceiling compilation of soil-treated canvas, organic materials and personal icons, such as family photos. Hageman drew inspiration from the rock strata that comprise the earth's crust, which she transmitted into a poignant metaphor for life.
"As an artist, gratification certainly comes from the process and the product," she says. "But it is extremely gratifying to have somebody else take something away from it. The Zena Art Show is one more way to reach different types of people, and help them connect to the earth and the stages it is going through."
Leaving a legacy
Foust, who grew up in the area and watched the destruction of the nearby Eola hillsides where Zena is located, contributed a piece dedicated to the Fender's Blue Butterfly — a species that has been largely driven out of the Willamette Valley by habitat destruction. She says the momentum and energy that came from the exhibit has been incredible, and that they are already planning for next summer.
"Each artist brought something rich, varied and amazing to the gallery," she says. "No two experiences with the environment will have the exact same result, and that is part of why places like Zena are so important. They are places for us to find inspiration and to think of the past and of the future."
Willamette Associate Art Professor Andries Fourie will discuss his piece in the exhibition, "Zena Web," a collaboration with Biology Associate Professor David Craig, in a free lecture at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, April 19. The event is at the Bush Barn Art Center. Professor Joe Bowersox, director of the Center for Sustainable Communities, will offer opening remarks.

**Warning: Making paper stars is addictive**
I've always wanted to know how to make these, but couldn't understand how until a friend of mine showed me, that's why I made a video (see step 5) to clearly and simply illustrate the process.
The first three steps are about how to obtain paper stripes, the fourth and the fifth are about how to make the stars.
Step 1: Obtaining paper stripes: buying
If you're just learning how to make these I would recommend you start with paper stripes that were made using step 2, which are the easiest stripes to fold.
Step 2: Obtaining paper stripes: DIY easy
A4/Letter notebook paper, preferably yellow and without holes (like the one in the picture)
Tools for method A
Tools for method B
a ruler
an exacto Knife
a cutting board
Method A:
Take a peice of paper, and using scissors cut along the lines
Method B:
Take a piece of paper, lay it on the cutting board, put the ruler against a line and use it as a guide for cutting with the exacto knife (see the second image). This method produces better stripes.
Step 3: Obtaining paper stripes: DIY pro
Any paper you want, colorful A4/Letter paper, wrapping paper, anything.
a printer
Tools for method A
Tools for method B
a ruler
an exacto Knife
a cutting board
If you chose wrapping paper, or any kind of paper that is larger than A4/Letter, you need to reduce it to that size. Now print lines on it (see attached file) then cut it using either method A or B that have been described in step 2.
The wider the strip is, the longer it needs to be to make a good star.
Also, The lighter the paper is, the longer the stripes need to be.
Therefore the file attached to this step might no be compatible with the kind of paper you've chosen, so experiment a bit.
I love these stars but white paper is so boring and I refuse to buy the strips on principle (aka I'm cheap). The line template to print on the back of wrapping paper is genius!
Got it on my 3rd try! The dimensions of the strip really do matter.
Thanks for the instructions. My daughter has wanted to make these for a while now and your video really helped.
you basicaly make a sort of knot in the end of the paper (step 1-3) by looping the end of the strip around and tucking it under itself then flatten it so it makes a pentagon. Then you just wrap the paper around the pentagon flattening it every time you wrap until you have no more. Then squish in the sides so it looks like a star instead of a pentagon. Hope that helps!! It's REALLY simple I know as soon as you get it you'll have an AHHAAA!!! moment ;) good luck

The nominations for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's Class of 2013 are in. This year's hopefuls are Albert King, Chic, Deep Purple, Donna Summer, Heart, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, Kraftwerk, the Marvelettes, the Meters, N.W.A., Paul Butterfield Blues Band, Procol Harum, Public Enemy, Randy Newman and Rush. The top vote-getters will be inducted on April 18th, 2013 at the Nokia Theater L.A. live in Los Angeles.
For the first time, the public gets to vote alongside the artists, historians and music industry insiders of the Rock Hall voting body. From now until December 5th, fans can vote on RollingStone.com for the nominees they'd like to see inducted. The top five acts will comprise a "fan's ballot" that will count as one of the more than 600 ballots that determine the Class of 2013. The results will be announced in mid-December.
"The definition of 'rock & roll' means different things to different people, but as broad as the classifications may be, they all share a common love of the music," commented Joel Peresman, President and CEO of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation. "This year we again proudly put forth a fantastic array of groups and artists that span the entire genre that is 'rock & roll.'"
Rush have been eligible for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame since 1998, but this is their first time appearing on the ballot. Pioneering rap groups N.W.A and Public Enemy also both made the ballot in their first year of eligibility. If they are inducted, they will join fellow hip-hop acts Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, Run-D.M.C. and the Beastie Boys in the Hall of Fame.
The ceremony will be held in Los Angeles for the first time since 1993. It's usually held in New York at the Waldforf Astoria, but it was held in Cleveland in 1997, 2009 and 2012.

News to chew on: Hershey launches first new brand in three decadesBy MAE ANDERSON
The Associated Press | October 13,2013Provided Photo
This image provided by The Hershey Co. shows the new Lancaster Caramel Soft Cremes, to be sold starting in January.NEW YORK The Hershey Co. is launching a new candy brand, its first new brand in 30 years, a soft caramel creme line called Lancaster.
And for the first time it is taking a double-barreled approach, debuting the candy in the U.S. and China simultaneously.
The move comes as China increasingly becomes a focus for U.S.-based consumer goods companies that are seeking to offset slower growth in developed markets like North America.
Hershey, which makes candy such as Kit Kat, Twizzlers and Hersheys Kisses, said its most recent quarter that new products in both the U.S. and overseas helped its net income rise 18 percent.
China and the U.S. are major focus markets for the company, said Steven Schiller, senior vice president of sweets and refreshment.
China is the second-largest sweets market behind the U.S., he added.
The Lancaster name stems from founder Milton Hersheys first candy company, The Lancaster Caramel Co. founded in 1886. And the candy comes after 2½ years of research into consumer tastes and the global confectionary market.
A category the company calls comforting richness caramel or milk-based soft candy was undertapped, Hershey found, even though at $1.5 billion dollars it was big business in China.
Caramel is also a fast-growing category globally, Schiller said, growing faster than chocolate and other non-chocolate candies.
It is one of the fastest growing segments in the food industry, he said.
So Hershey developed caramels that could fit into the niche. The products in each country arent completely the same, but tailored to their markets.
In the U.S., Lancaster caramels will come in three flavors: caramel, vanilla and caramel, and vanilla and raspberry. In China, where the company already sells Hersheys Kisses, Hershey and Ice Breakers, the candies will be more similar to milk-based candies that are popular in that country.
The target demographic is men and women in their 20s and early 30s. The candy will hit store shelves in January 2014 and come in two sizes for about $4 and $2.50.
