The 56th Annual Oklahoma Youth Forestry & Wildlife Camp is accepting on-line applications for campers ages 13-15 years old who want to have fun in the outdoors learning about forestry, wildlife and natural resources.
The week-long camp will be held June 4th-9th, 2012 at beautiful Beavers Bend State Park near Broken Bow and is open to boys and girls from across the state.
Jessica Blan, a student at Antlers High School, served as a page in the Oklahoma House of Representatives during the week of April 16th through April 19th. Blan was sponsored by Representative R. C. Pruett of House District 19.
On Friday, April 20, 2012, a jury comprised of six man and six woman deliberated for less than two hours before convicting Jimmy Stone, Antlers, with three counts of Lewd Molestation and recommending that he serve twenty four years in prison. Stone was originally charged with four counts of First Degree Rape and one count of Lewd Molestation in May of 2011.
On Friday, April 20, 2012, many individuals from the community gathered together at a benefit pie auction and political speaking that was put on by The Foxy Friends Pushmataha County Relay For Life Team.
The goals for the evening were to raise hoards of cash for the American Cancer Society and to allow voters a chance to get to know more about the candidates who are running for Pushmataha County Sheriff. Both were accomplished as each candidate that is running spoke and over $2000 was raised for Relay For Life.
Regional champions from all over the state traveled to Tulsa on Sunday, April 15th, for the State SkillsUSA Conference. Contestants competed in both job skills contests and leadership contests. Kiamichi Technology Center-Atoka had a standout student who placed in both competitions.
Adam Jobe, Antlers High School, placed 1st in the Construction contest, advancing him to the National SkillsUSA competition this summer in Kansas City, MO. Adam is a second-year high school student, under the instruction of Jim Marley at KTC-Atoka.
Members of the Pushmataha County Sportsman Club held the 41st Annual Big Bass Rodeo on April 21st and 22nd. The big bass tournament was held on Pine Creek Lake. Fifty-five boats with over one hundred anglers were entered in the event. Cash prizes and trophies were awarded to the top five finishers.

A Company of HeroesThursday | 9 p.m.
Easy Company, the 2nd Battalion of the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division, widely known as the "Screaming Eagles," remains one of the most revered combat units in U.S. military history. The Army company's legendary exploits in World War II inspired Stephen Ambrose's book, Band of Brothers,and the Emmy®-winning HBO miniseries of the same name.
Following two years of hard training, the soldiers of Easy Company parachuted into Normandy on D-Day and, later, into Holland for Operation Market Garden. They fought their way through Belgium, France and Germany, survived overwhelming odds, liberated concentration camps, and drank a victory toast in April 1945 at Hitler's hideout in the Alps.
In 2009, 20 of the few remaining survivors from Easy Company shared their rarely told stories of sacrifice and courage for Marcus Brotherton's oral-history book project, We Who Are Alive and Remain: Untold Stories From the Band of Brothers. In A COMPANY OF HEROES, those same veterans — along with the families of three deceased others — recount the horrors and the victories, the bonds they made, the tears and blood they shed, and the friends they lost.

The Topps Super Bowl Card Show at the NFL Experience Presented by Home Depot set up camp adjacent to University of Phoenix Stadium, home of Super Bowl XLII. From Jan. 24 - Feb. 3, fans from all over the world visited Glendale, as the biggest sporting event in the world took center stage here in our own backyard.
It's the sixth consecutive Super Bowl we've attended and exhibited at the NFL Experience, but the first time we've been the host city for any of the major sporting events.
The first weekend saw an army of local fans show up, checking out two-ups, vintage figures and some prototypes for upcoming figures on display in the McFarlane's Sports Picks booth. We offered exclusive action figures of Arizona Cardinals stars Larry Fitzgerald and a Matt Leinart Collector's Club exclusive. Additionally, our store at the Westgate City Center, about a 5-minute walk from University of Phoenix Stadium, was selling an exclusive of their own, Cardinals receiver Anquan Boldin.
The second weekend brought more out-of-towners to the show, as fans from New York and New England converged on Glendale for the big game. We were able to provide Super Bowl Exclusive sets for fans throughout both weekends.
We have a very limited amount of all three figures - Fitzgerald, Leinart and Boldin - still available at our Westgate store. If you'd like to add to your collection, act now, because these figures will go fast.
Our thanks to the fans and collectors who came out to the NFL Experience and stopped by our booth. Arizona did an amazing job hosting sports' biggest event. And we are already getting excited for next year in Tampa!

controlP5 is a library written by Andreas Schlegel for the programming environment processing. Last update, 12/23/2012.
ControlP5 is a GUI and controller library for processing that can be used in authoring, application, and applet mode. Controllers such as Sliders, Buttons, Toggles, Knobs, Textfields, RadioButtons, Checkboxes amongst others are easily added to a processing sketch. They can be arranged in separate control windows, and can be organized in tabs or groups. → read more.
Unzip and put the extracted controlP5 folder into the libraries folder of your processing sketches. Reference and examples are included in the controlP5 folder.
Export to Applet
The security regulations for applets are very high and strict, in order to make controlP5 work properly within an applet, you need to make fields and functions which are used by controlP5 public in your code.
Keywords gui, ui, controller, interface, user interface
Reference. Have a look at the javadoc reference here. a copy of the reference is included in the .zip as well.
Source. The source code of controlP5 is available at google code, and its repository can be browsed here.
Platform osx, windows, linux
Processing 2.0b7
Dependencies none
A selection of controllers available with controlP5, more controllers in the examples section.
User interface for the 'vulcano generator'. project synthazards, syntfarm.
Automatic controller-event detection
ControlP5 offers a range of controllers that allow you to easily change and adjust values while your sketch is running. Each controller is identified by a unique name assigned when creating a controller. ControlP5 locates variables and functions inside your sketch and will link controllers to matching variables or functions automatically ControlP5toggle → example. Controller changes can easily be captured within your sketch by implementing the controlEvent function ControlP5controlEvent → example.
Show, hide, load, save
Controllers that have been added to your sketch can be arranged in tabs and groups to keep your controller sets organized. All controllers are drawn on top of a processing sketch by default. Several key combinations allow you to show and hide the user interface, and to saved and loaded ControlP5 properties, ControlP5properties → example. The position of a controller can be adjusted during runtime by moving a controller while the ALT-key is pressed.
ALT-mouseMove move controllers
ALT-h show and hide controllers
ALT-shift-s save controller setup in an properties-document
ALT-shift-l load a controller setup from a properties-document
Control Windows
Add separate windows to your sketch. These windows can contain controlP5 controllers or you can simply use a ControlWindow to render an additional sketch in any renderer available. ControlP5controlWindow → example.
Custom Fonts
By default controlP5 uses a bitFont to render text. To display text in PFont-format, controlP5 uses a wrapper called ControlFont ControlP5controlFont → example.
Custom Controllers
Take a look at the ControlP5diyController → example which demostrates how to create your own custom controller.
Custom Buttons
Create controllers which use image based states instead of the default controlP5-look ControlP5button → example. experimental

This cat door also includes a removable brush that grooms kitty by collecting loose cat hair. The brush snaps in and out easily for cleaning. This cat door installs easily. Many of our customers also comment on this. Cat Hole comes with complete easy-to-follow instructions.
Dimensions: You can fold a piece of paper into a 8.5" X 8.5" square. Place this at the bottom of your door & you will get a good idea of what Cat Hole will look like.

Try this FAT32 guide and see if it helps.Originally Posted by Brett Nelson
It is a Kingston 2Gb, and yes I tried to format it to fat32 first.

Well it is the flash drive for some reason. I am able to format my 320 GB My Passport to fat32 at 32kb.
Okay, I formatted my HD to fat32 with 32kb clusters, and replaced my boot.dol usb loader gx with revision 2107 ( i believe, whichever one the guide says works by default). The drive is recognized and so is the game. When I load the game i get a freeze at the dios mios splash screen. Any advice? I followed mauifrogs guide. Then I jumped into this one, only replacing the usb loader version.

Did you delete your old .cfg and .ini files? (the guide says this too, but I'll re-organize that so people don't miss it next time)
Where are those files located? I beleive I did because I changed to a different SD card and copied over a backup I had from my first inital softmod, then just copied over the proper revision of LoaderGX.

I haven't used it but I'll try it first thing next time I go on my Wii.
And your .cfg filese are either where SNES said, or they may be in a folder in the root of the SD Card. Just look in your USB Loader's folders. It doesn't have much :/
Thanks, I plan on installing DM to SNEEK+DI cause I need to use the screen cap for a thread idea I'm working on.Originally Posted by cwjakesteel

[Video] Evelyn Lozada Appears On Iyanla Vanzant's 'Fix My Life' [Updated Part 1 & 2]
In an effort to fix some of her deep rooted anger issues, 'Basketball Wives' star Evelyn Lozada appeared on the premiere episode of Iyanla Vanzant's 'Fix My Life' which aired last night on the OWN Network. During the 40 minute segment (that was filmed before she filed for divorce], Evelyn explained her anger issues by telling Iyanla that she's always on defense mode because she doesn't trust anyone. Iyanla, in response, asked her, 'What is it about you that creates that energy in the world? You are the one that dictates what goes on in your life?'
Evelyn also revealed that her 'ah ha' moment regarding her behavior happened when her step-daughters were laughing about her throwing a bottle at someone on television. That's when she realized she wasn't setting the best example but she also realized that every woman in her family deals with conflict the same way. Iyanla had Evelyn's mom sit in on a portion of the interview and it was revealed that her mother was abandoned by her own mom when she was a little girl. Her mom also said that she feels bad for Evelyn sometimes because she just doesn't know any better.
Throughout the interview, Evelyn expressed that she wanted to change and that she is still the 7 year old girl who is afraid of not being love as well as being afraid of losing everything that she's acquired. Iyanla was very supportive as she spoke with Evelyn about her past, but she also gave it to her straight at times, especially when it came to her behavior on 'Basketball Wives'. She told her:
You've been rewarded for being out of order and a thug among woman. You got to get that and only you can change it. We have to know what it is gonna cost you to become the truth of who you are. Because it's gonna cost you. You get paid for that! Will you get paid for being the truth of who you are as a woman in this world?
Evelyn admitted that it would probably cost the show (Basketball Wives) if she didn't behave that way anymore but she is still willing to make some changes in her life.
Check out a few excerpts plus video of the entire interview below:
Evelyn On why she decided to change her ways
[My step-daughters] were really the inspiration for why I had that 'Ah ha' moment because when you're filming, you're not thinking about who is watching the show. The older one Chade goes 'I seen when you were on the television..' you know me throwing the bottle and I was so embarrassed and then I said to myself 'What is going on?' and then I joking told them 'That wasn't me' and they were like 'Yes it was you Evelyn' and then they thought it was wonderful and them I'm like mortified. I'm like 'Oh my god'.
On why she threw a bottle
[I] was caught up in the moment. Going from 0 to 10. I always say I don't have a medium. That's how every woman in my family dealt with conflict. We didn't sit down and do this! That's how my life was. That's how I grew up. […] because my life has always been chaos.
On saying that she didn't want to be in her ex-friend Jennifer's presence anymore on the show
My girl was publicly doing interviews about me. So I'm on defense mode. I'm actually always on a defense mode because I don't trust anybody […] I was angry before I got there.
On which day she feels scared the most and what scares her the most
Everyday. [What scares me the most is] not being loved. What scares me the most is being by myself. What scares me the most is being by myself not having anything.
[starts crying]
You know, being the most successful one out of everyone [in my family] and just being put on this platform and this pedestal it's just a lot of pressure. I just want to do good […] I love people and know that I feel like I was put in this position for a reason. I just don't know what that is. You know, I know its not to act the fool on TV.
On giving Chad permission to cheat
Me and [Chad] have real open conversations on this lifestyle. This is all I've seen being really good friends with other women who are married and in relationships with these men, in this world that I just live in. So many things happen, not just to men, to woman also. You see so much. […] I said if there's ever a feeling or a thought in your mind that you want to go there I'd rather know about it. I'd rather know about it than him sneak around. If [he] is in a place where he feels like he has a desire to be with someone else or … because I get it, I get what temptation is.
On whether she wants to be married to someone that cheats on her
No, absolutely not. I just want to know. Am I wrong for wanting to know?
On what she would do if she found out that he cheated on her
Our relationship would be over
On whether shes communicated that to Chad
On what direction Chad is leading her to
[Shakes head]
On whether shes afraid to set boundaries
No, I'm not afraid. I think I'm the only person in his life who tells him how it is. It's tough because when I do say something he says 'This is how my personality is.. Why do you want me to change?'
On what scares her the most about her marriage
That where going to end up divorced like everyone else
On who she believes she is
I am Evelyn Lozada, someone that's becoming a servant of God.
At the end of Part 1, Evelyn met with Chad's daughters and apologized for not being a good example for them:
[Cries] I just want to tell you guys that I'm sorry for being a bad example. I am now your Step-mother, your dad's wife and I haven't always handled things the right way and I don't want you guys to do what I've done. So I am here to tell you that I am sorry for doing that, I want your forgiveness.
Watch below:
Updated: Part 2 of Evelyn's 'Fix My Life', was filmed after she filed for divorce from Chad. She admitted in this segment that she saw the signs that it wasn't going to work out but overlooked them because she wanted to protect him and also prove that she was 'good enough to marry'. She revealed that there were times that he may have grabbed her phone and threw it when she brought up other women or raised his voice which was a forewarning of things to come. She also said that she hadn't been back to his house since the headbutting incident and she left with the clothes on her back. [In the first part of the interview (before the divorce), they showed her huge closet of expensive clothes at his house and at least 50 grand in Christian Louboutin shoes lined up on shoe racks.] Evelyn says that although she said she was scared of losing everything in the first segment, she doesn't care about any of that anymore. At the end of the interview, she said that she learned that she,'couldn't change him', that she thought that being in a relationship could prove her 'worthy' and she realized that she is better than that.

Congestive Heart Failure
Congestive heart failure (CHF) is one of the most common reasons for hospitalization of patients age 45 and above.
CHF is a serious condition in which the heart is unable to pump well enough to meet the body's need for oxygen. The term "congestive heart failure" comes from the failure of the heart to pump efficiently, resulting in congestion in the lungs by blood flowing back into the heart. The heart tries to make up for this by pumping harder and the situation grows worse. When the congestion occurs, patients experience shortness of breath. In the beginning this happens during exercise but as the condition worsens, patients will become short of breath even while they are resting. Initially patients may experience minor symptoms, such as swelling of the ankles. Often these symptoms are so minor that patients don't seek medical attention until damage to the heart has already occurred. The longer the heart has to over-work to make up for its inadequacy, the more the pumping ability is damaged.
What can lead to heart failure?
Some of the conditions that can lead to CHF include:
Coronary artery disease: This is one of the most common causes of heart failure. This is a chronic disease that is sometimes referred to as "hardening of the arteries." The arteries become narrow and stiff and the free flow of blood is blocked. The reduced blood flow to the heart weakens the heart muscle.
High blood pressure: About 75 percent of all patients with CHF have been previously diagnosed with hypertension (high blood pressure). Uncontrolled high blood pressure causes the heart to work harder to pump blood under high pressure throughout the body.
Heart attack: After a heart attack, part of the heart is replaced with scar tissue and this makes the heart a less efficient pump. The weakened heart muscle fights to pump blood and the fibers stretch. This results in enlarged and damaged chambers in the heart.
Disease of the heart valves: Narrowing or leaking of one or more heart valves restricts blood flow within the heart and/or to the rest of the body. There may also be infection in the heart valves. Less commonly, disease of the heart valves may be caused by rheumatic heart disease.
Cardiomyopathy: This is a chronic heart condition where the heart becomes abnormally enlarged and thick. This severely weakens the ability of the heart to pump blood.
Congenital heart disease: A problem that is present from birth. This can involve defects in the heart or blood vessels.
Severe lung disease, such as pulmonary hypertension: When the right side of the heart can't produce enough strength to pump blood through diseased lungs, congestive heart failure can occur.
Signs & Symptoms of Heart Failure
- Shortness of breath (also referred to as "dyspnea"). This is one of the earliest signs of heart failure. The patient will become winded and more fatigued just by doing regular activities. There is decreased tolerance to exercise.
- Swelling of the legs. This is an early sign of heart failure, although it can also be caused by unrelated conditions.
- Swollen neck veins
- Mental confusion
- Palpitations
- Kidney malfunction (usually in the latter stages of heart failure)
Treatment of heart failure
The earlier heart failure is detected and treated, the better the patient's long-term outlook. Lifestyle changes are advised and these include:
- Regular exercise as approved by your physician
- Schedule rest periods throughout the day
- Stay away from excessive fluid intake
- Limit the amount of salt you use — follow the diet prescribed by your physician
- Completely avoid alcohol
- Do not smoke
- Keep a daily diary of your weight and notify your physician if you gain three or more pounds in a week. Weight gain may be a sign of fluid retention and the need for more intensive treatment. Failure to properly monitor your weight and take action could result in an emergency situation. Medications also are used to treat heart failure.
Depending on the cause of your heart failure and the damage that has occurred to your heart, medications may be used to reduce the heart's workload, remove excess fluid from your body, or widen the blood vessels to increase blood flow.
Types of medicines used include:
- Ace Inhibitors: The National Institutes of Health has reported that use of ACE Inhibitors has been the most important development in CHF survival rate improvement over recent years. ACE Inhibitors lower blood pressure so your heart doesn't have to work as hard to pump blood.
- Angiotensin Receptor Blocker (ARB): lowers blood pressure.
- Diuretics ("water pills"): these help flush extra salt and water from your body.
- Beta Blockers: Lowers blood pressure and slows heart rate.
- Digoxin: This drug helps improve the effectiveness of the heart's pumping action.
- Cardiotonics: These are powerful intravenous drugs that increase the force of the heart's pumping, thereby allowing the heart to beat less frequently and more effectively.

Viet was one of several bicyclists who had been participating in "Tour De Farm," a 30-mile ride on Sunday morning, when they were hit by a car on Route 74.
Police said Veit suffered head and internal injuries after he went through the windshield. A 15-year-old girl from Williamstown, Mass., suffered a fractured pelvis.
Police have arrested the driver, 54-year-old Brian Miller of Shoreham.

Spencer deals with Toby's betrayal, Emily gets an important notebook returned, and Ezra learns he's a father.
At home, Spencer wakes up from a nightmare in which she'd been making out with Toby but he turned into 'A'.
In her room, Emily takes a call from Aria. They discuss not hearing from Spencer. Emily's mom enters with a package from the James family. It contains cards and a biology notebook Emily had given to Alison. Emily's freaked out about Lyndon James having touched it.
Hanna's mom joins Hanna in the kitchen and asks how it is seeing Mona every day at school. Hanna shrugs that she only has two classes with her. Hanna's mom is concerned about protecting her. Hanna says one protector is enough. Ashley asks if Caleb's been tangling with Mona. Hanna say he doesn't trust her.
Still at home, Aria listens as Byron tells Meredith's father on the phone that he's glad she's getting help. He tells Aria it seems she stopped taking her meds. Aria's still spooked about her. Byron reassures her.
Hanna, Aria, and Spencer walk down the street. Spencer is distracted, and lies about her anniversary with Toby. Aria and Hanna meet Emily, who shows them the biology notebook returned to her. In it they find a written conversation between Alison and someone else about 'the beach hottie'. They wonder if it's about Toby.
At school, Hanna overhears Paige talking to Caleb about 'what it's going to take'. She refers to him putting a wet brain in Mona's locker and it not getting rid of her. She tells him she'll do 'it' and hangs up.
Emily is taken off-guard in the school hallway by Spencer's rant about why they continue to care about what happened to Alison - she never cared about them. She hands her the notebook, which says Alison visited Toby after he shipped off to juvy. During the visit he denied sending notes signed 'A'. He tells her if he knew who wrote the notes he'd offer his services. Spencer reads and cries. She tells Emily that she and Toby broke up last night - she's not ready to say why. Later, Spencer gets a text from Aria to meet her - Ezra dumped her. She has a confrontation with Aria's mother when she leaves class.
In the park, Spencer spots Ezra and reams him out for taking things out on Aria when it's Maggie who had his son and kept it secret for seven years. Ezra asks what she's talking about. Spencer realizes the text from Aria was fake and takes off.
Pam complains at the police station about the package Emily received. Wilden acts helpful and talks about how things like what happened to Emily at the lighthouse stay with you. He saw someone die.
Ezra finds Aria and asks her why Spencer would say he has a son. Aria leaves Hanna and Emily at the lunch table and steps out with him. He's upset she's kept this from him since his birthday - she's the person he's supposed to trust Aria gets a text from 'A', saying they thought she needed a little 'help'.
Aria goes to Spencer's house. Spencer asks to fash-forward to the part where she screams or whatever. Aria knows she was set-up by 'A'. Spencer says they should stop blaming 'A' for everything and start blaming themselves. Aria leaves. Spencer texts someone to meet her.
Emily meets CeCe outside after dark and asks who she and Alison were talking about when they mentioned 'beach hottie' in the notebook. She can't recall. She flashes to Alison telling her she's two weeks 'late'. She says if 'he' finds out he'll kill her. CeCe tells Emily it was an intense couple of weeks.
Hanna calls Aria at home to tell her Paige is working with Caleb before going into a gay bar. She spots Paige and watches her while trying to rebuff an amorous lesbian.
Byron joins Aria in the living room as there's a knock at the door. It's Emily. They go outside and discuss the latest development - that some guy may have gotten Ali pregnant and threatened to kill her. Emily heads to the police station. Aria gets a text.
At the station, Emily tells her mother the update on Alison. Pam says they have to figure out who'd want to hurt her. Hanna's brought in for underage drinking. Emily asks which bar she was at. Wilden appears and takes the notebook, telling Emily she did the right thing. Suddenly the girls notice a photo of Wilden...at Cape May.
In her car, Spencer cries and then puts on lipstick and gets out. She meets a man and gives him the 'A' key and a photo of Toby. She wants him to find out what they key is for and says Toby will lead him there.
Hanna explains her escapade to her mother at home.
Aria talks to Ezra outside his apartment. He says Maggie explained the position she put Aria in. He says he's about to meet his son - he's leaving tonight and doesn't know how long he'll be gone. She asks if she can call him. He tears up and says they'll talk soon.
In a room there are all kinds of dolls in the likeness of Hanna, Aria, Emily, and Spencer. Someone takes a blowtorch to the Hanna doll.
Spoilers for Next Week:
The girls are divided about going to Ali's memorial service.
Emily deals with unresolved feelings about Nate's death
Candi's Comments:
This week it was really tough to watch Spencer deal with the aftermath of Toby's betrayal. It seemed like a more low-key week, but still with some interesting revelations. Poor Ezra finding out like that about his son!

HAZARD – A Perry County man originally charged with murder could serve a decade in prison after pleading to a lesser charge.
Timothy Ryan Sizemore appeared in Perry Circuit Court on Thursday where he pleaded guilty to an amended charge of first-degree manslaughter stemming from an incident that left 31-year-old Samuel Louive dead.
Sizemore, 29, was alleged to have shot Louive several times at a residence in Combs on Nov. 5, 2011. Kentucky State Police Detective Kevin Hurt testified during Sizemore's preliminary hearing in 2011 that officers at the scene collected 17 shell casings outside of the residence on Baker Street, and a medical examiner had located nine bullets inside Louive's body.
Sizemore, along with what Hurt said was the .40 caliber handgun used in the incident, was located at a separate home in Combs on the night of the shooting. Sizemore was indicted in January 2012 on charges of murder and two counts of first-degree wanton endangerment.
Special prosecutor Parker Boggs, the commonwealth's attorney in Harlan County, noted the agreement announced on Thursday will have Sizemore pleading to the amended charge of first-degree manslaughter for a total of 10 years to serve. The two additional counts of wanton endangerment would be dismissed at the time of sentencing, if Special Judge John David Caudill accepts the plea deal.
Boggs said while he recommended a sentence of 10 years to serve on Sizemore's guilty plea, he would not have accepted any type of probation in the case.
Sizemore is scheduled for sentencing on July 11.

New NCAA rule separates college teammates at Pro Am
S.J.G. Greater NC Pro-Am rosters have been shuffled to accommodate an NCAA rule that will prevent the clustering of players from the same college team, league organizers said on Monday.
In past seasons of the pro-am — a summer basketball league featuring both college and professional players — fans were liable to see, for example, Duke's returning players getting up and down the floor with the Blue Devils' incoming freshmen and transfers.
But the said NCAA restriction means that this sixth season of the summer league will have rosters with just two players from a particular college on each pro-am team, league compliance director Chuck Jones said.
Ever since the pro-am's inception, a college team was allowed to have only two of its returning players on a given summer-league squad, but there was the option to fill out that pro-am roster with the college team's incoming freshmen and transfers, Jones said.
The NCAA update could result in pro-am teams with, for instance, two returning North Carolina players; or a UNC returner could get put with a guy who's transferring to the Tar Heels; or two incoming UNC freshmen could end up on the same summer-league team — essentially any two Tar Heels, perhaps joined by a couple of players from Duke, N.C. Central and N.C. State, Jones said.
Fans might not like all of that mixing and matching, both from an allegiance standpoint and the opportunity to see how the players from their favorite teams are jelling. But Jones said that guys from rival schools playing with each other will make an already strong league even tougher.
"It's going to make the league a lot more competitive," Jones said. "The teams will be a lot more competitive."
The NCAA roster rule takes affect on Aug. 1, Jones said. By that time, pro-am teams will be making runs at the league championship, which is scheduled to be settled on Aug. 8. For the sake of continuity, league organizers decided to go ahead and adjust the rosters in time for today's games when the league resumes at Durham School of the Arts, Jones said.
Pro-am rosters tend to be fluid, subject to player availability. The games are Tuesdays and Thursdays, with four games per evening starting at 6 p.m. Both admission and parking are free. The pro-am tipped off on June 27 and went on hiatus for the Fourth of July holiday. More information about the league is at ncproam.com.
Jones, Donyell Bryant and NBA veteran Jerry Stackhouse, a former UNC forward, co-founded the summer league as a way to positively impact the community. They're childhood friends who graduated from Kinston High School before going their separate ways to play college ball. Bryant was a baseball player at N.C. A&T, and Jones played basketball at East Carolina and Winston-Salem State.

Stuffy head? It's not always sinusitis
By Sean McKinney, Pure Matters
Say it out loud: Sinusitis. It even sounds painful. This inflammation of the sinuses, usually caused by an infection, is one of the most common problems doctors treat. Yet a lot of us don't know much about it.
"Sinusitis affects about 16 percent of adults and costs close to $5.8 billion a year in health care," says Raymond G. Slavin, M.D. "But often people believe they have sinusitis when they might have a cold or nasal allergy."
In 2005, Dr. Slavin and colleagues wrote guidelines on diagnosing and treating sinusitis in the Journal of Allergy & Clinical Immunology. They found most cases don't need X-rays or CT scans. "The diagnosis can be made by taking a good history and examining the patient," he says.
Sinusitis differs from colds and nasal allergies, but either one can set up sinusitis by swelling the sinuses. "If the sinuses are too swollen to drain through tiny openings, mucus pools and provides a breeding ground for viruses and bacteria," Dr. Slavin says.
Sinusitis symptoms can include a swollen nose and sinuses, fever, fatigue, thick yellow or green nasal discharge, congestion, facial pain, swelling around the eyes, headache and coughing. Colds and nasal allergies can share many of these symptoms. But unlike sinusitis, colds (and sometimes allergies) include sneezing. Colds usually don't last as long, and the nasal discharge is whitish or thin. Allergies may cause an itchy nose and clear nasal discharge.
How to treat sinusitis
Viruses cause about 85 percent of sinus infections, Dr. Slavin says. Antibiotics won't help in those cases. Treatment for sinusitis caused by a virus includes decongestants, mucus-thinning medications, nasal cortisone sprays or drops, and pain relievers. You can use topical decongestant sprays for just two or three days or use saline nasal sprays longer.
"We urge doctors to wait 10 to 14 days with the patient getting no better before antibiotics are prescribed," Dr. Slavin says. "If the patient has a high fever and is getting worse, then antibiotics are indicated."
OTC medications commonly used to treat sinusitis:
Decongestants. Currently, the only OTC decongestant available is pseudoephedrine. This drug decreases the secretion of mucus. Typical OTC medications containing pseudoephedrine include Sudafed, Advil Cold and Sinus, Contac Non-Drowsy Decongestant.
Expectorants/mucus thinners. The only OTC drug of this type is guaifenesin. It should be taken with plenty of water to increase the fluidity of mucus. This medication can help empty the sinuses by thinning the mucus trapped in the inflamed sinus. Typical OTC medications containing guaifenesin include Mucinex, Robitussin (plain), Sudafed Non-Drowsy Non-Drying Sinus.
Nasal sprays. OTC nasal sprays come in three types: moisturizing, decongestant and anti-allergy/anti-inflammatory. Only the moisturizing and decongestant are commonly used. Moisturizing sprays are a mild salt solution called normal saline. They liquefy the mucus, allowing it to drain and keep the lining of the nose moist. These include Ayr, Oceans and a host of private store brands. Decongestant nasal sprays shrink the blood vessels in the nose, cutting production of mucus. OTC medications include Vicks Nasal Spray, Neo-Synephrine brand nasal sprays and private store brands.
Underlying causes of sinusitis
- upper respiratory infections such as a head cold
- allergies
- asthma
- crooked bone and cartilage between the nostrils (also known as a deviated septum)
- environmental factors, such as freezing cold air, poorly ventilated indoor air, cigarette smoke and car exhaust
- abnormal hormone activity
- nasal polyps
- foreign bodies inserted in the nose (common in children)
overuse of decongestant sprays

Wednesday, February 19, 2014
February is a transition period for those of us who enjoy the sport of hunting. The duck decoys and waders have been put away. Dove hunters have retired their game and shell bags for one more season. Deer hunters have vacuumed the last bit of shelled corn from their vehicles and put the rifle back in the safe until late summer. Blaze orange and a variety of camouflage has been replaced with appropriate football attire for the last big event, and tuxedos for the various social functions that kick-off the new year. Grand stories of hunting exploits emerge over steaming stacks of oysters in various Lowcountry venues. The local taxidermists are busy fulfilling orders of first-time deer trophies, elaborate Wood Duck drakes, and a possible bobcat that some lucky hunter happened to spy slinking through the swamp at an opportune time.
The men in the crowd enjoy this time of comradery and tale-telling, as their mates, for the most part, sit quietly, rolling their eyes as they hear the story one more time.
One story stands out for me. A novice deer hunter, I have enjoyed some exciting hunting experiences over the last few years thanks to the generosity of special friends.
I have hunted from both an elevated deer stand with a high-powered rifle, and at ground-level, leaning against a Cypress tree in the local swamps with shotgun in hand, anticipating old mossy to come ripping through the brush being pushed my direction by a skilled driver on horseback. Local hunter and outdoor enthusiast, Greg Kitchens, took deer hunting to a new level one cold morning on a family property in Georgetown County using a handgun.
Colonel Greg Kitchens, USMC, is an accomplished marksman to say the least. Col. Kitchens is the Officer in Charge of the United States Marine Corps Shooting Team. This group consists of a team of active-duty Marines and a second team of Reservists. The teams are comprised of three groups: Rifle Team, Pistol Team, and a Combat Shooting Team. Greg, in addition to his command duties, serves as a competitor on the Pistol Team.
Greg began hunting deer with a handgun in the early 1990s. Over the years, he honed his shooting skills. He researched, and selected a Smith and Wesson Model 29 Classic DX .44 Magnum with a 6.5 barrel and a 2x Leupold scope specifically for deer hunting.
Choice of ammunition was next on the list. Greg carefully chose a 300 grain jacketed hollow-point made by Hornady. Rounds were hand-loaded. Regarding range and accuracy, Greg stated that inside 100 yards, with a good, steady hold, he could maintain effective accuracy with that set-up. Since the 90s, Ive harvested several deer at 50 yards or less. The Colonels skills would be tested on an annual hunt on family property in Georgetown, S.C. one cold morning, late in the season.
The target area was ranged at 80 yards. Patiently waiting as the sun came up, Greg saw two deer come into range. He acquired his first target, and with a steady hold, squeezed off the first round. The shot hit its mark. Greg chose to send another round as the deer began to move. Shot number two hit its mark as well.
Shifting focus, Greg eyed the second deer. That deer did not run off. Greg steadied his aim, took another steady hold, and fired another round down range at the second deer. Within minutes, Greg had successfully harvested not one, but two deer. Not only did he accomplish this at an astounding 80-plus yards with a handgun, but one shot was made effectively on a moving target. Mission accomplished.
Years of focused practice paid off for Colonel Kitchens.
Michael M. Cochran is an avid outdoorsman and hunter.

I thank The Lancaster News for sharing the Scripture (Luke 2:1-20) in the Dec. 25 edition.
There should be one small correction, please.
"Christmas" is not in Scripture, but an invention of the Roman Catholic Church, as the actual birth date of the Messiah is not in Scripture.
The word "Christmas" is a combination of the words "Christ" and "Mass."
The word "Mass" means death and was coined originally by the Roman Catholic Church.
Who in the world had the bright idea of lining the Christmas parade up in a residential area, to be more specific – French and Catawba streets? I'm even more appalled that our city officials allowed this.
If a resident had an emergency, when minutes really matter, the clock would have just kept on ticking. If there had been a fire at someone's home, it probably would have burned down. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. It started at 4 p.m. and didn't clear until after 8 p.m.
It has been almost two months and I still can't believe the verdict Marico Stevens received in the death of my grandbaby, Jaylen Jackson. Stevens was arrested May 6, 2010, in the shooting death of Jaylen.
Anthony Carter, who was also charged in Jaylen's death, was found guilty.
Yes, I'm mad at the state and jurors. But there is a higher power than them. Jaylen wasn't but 3 years old. We've not had her to celebrate her birthday and Christmas for two years. Yet, a person charged in her death is walking the streets free.
I just want to thank my Christmas angel who found my mother's money in Walmart's parking lot and turned it in.
You have earned a gold star in heaven.
S. Lewis
The Master's Ministry and Bishops Eddie and Altheresa Goode Howard would like to say thank you to all who donated and came out to our 2011 Thanksgiving community feeding.
Bishops Eddie and Altheresa Goode Howard
We would like to send a special thanks to everyone who sponsored an angel from the Angel trees, the anonymous monetary donations and the food given to families for the holidays.
The businesses that placed Angel trees helped sponsor 1,356 children.
We also thank the Toys for Tots, which donated a lot of toys and stocking stuffers, as well as the schools that did the same.
We're grateful for those who donated coats and scarves. We thank God for these wonderful supporters.
Marcine Bufford
Angel Tree coordinator
I want to thank the kind, honest person who found my ring at Walmart and turned it in.
I hope the Lord will bless you greatly.
Kathryn Cole
As I write this letter to the editor, the liberal Democratic Party and President Barack Obama are trying to extend the payroll tax cut.
The thing they're not informing you of is that this is not a tax cut. This money is going to you instead of going to the Social Security fund.
That's right, the Social Security fund is being short-changed again. Obama is telling you it's needed to boost the economy, yet this tax cut has been in effect for almost a year and it's had zero effect.
I agree with Sun City residents and letter writers Tom and Maryann White. U.S. 521 is a mess, not only in Indian Land, but the entire four lane from the Lancaster city limits to the North Carolina state line needs improvement.
I recall the highway signs from the past that read, "See the best state on the best roads." Maybe an earlier version, "The Iodine State," would be more appropriate.
Is his name Vince Lambardi, Bear Bryant or maybe Dale Earnhardt? He's not a famous football coach or seven-time
NASCAR champion.
No, his name is Barry Faile, sheriff of Lancaster County.
I have heard people say "there goes Lancaster's finest" in a sarcastic tone when a deputy rode by, followed with a whisper, "what a joke – they're nothing."
It looks like the joke is on us. Just as it takes a well-oiled team to accomplish what the three men above accomplished. They are known as the best of the best.

I've now been on magnesium sulfate three times -- following all three births of my children.
My first child I was on the mag starting at 3 hours before my son was born, and on it after. It was hard being in labor and hard pushing with it. Afterwards, it was a clear liquid diet for me for 24 hours while on the mag.
My second child, my preeclampsia diagnosis came a few hours after she was born and that's when they started it. Same clear liquid diet, though I had a regular meal before that since my diagnosis hadn't come in.
With my third child, they started the mag roughly 2 hours after she was born, even though I already had my diagnosis. For some reason, I didn't feel nearly as bad on it as I had with the other two. I was allowed to eat whatever I wanted and surely that helped. Also, I wasn't as sick as I was the second time, so maybe that was a factor?
Wanted to share that in case any of you are dreading the mag dose. I have NO idea why it didn't bother me so much this last time. But it was the same dose, so who knows? Either way, I'm thankful for not feeling like total garbage (though, I didn't feel GREAT, I just didn't feel like trash).

Coconino County jail getting a read on inmates
FLAGSTAFF -- Dressed in blue overalls that have "CCSO INMATE" on the back, the inmate squared off across a table from Alfredo Cruz.
The inmate, apparently unsure of what happens next, rubbed his mohawk haircut.
Cruz, smiling, began asking questions.
The questions started forming a framework for approaching the inmate's difficulty with reading and what he would like to do with improved reading skills.
His answer: He'd like to be able to read better to help him get a job, maybe continue his education.
Welcome to the day in the life of a literacy volunteer at the county jail.
"It's been eye-opening," Cruz said. "I've learned so much."
Cruz, 22, is a student at Northern Arizona University studying sociology. He volunteers as an intern with Literacy Volunteers of Coconino County, mainly with the Partnership to Literacy Rehabilitation Program.
The program offers literacy assistance to incarcerated and recently released adults and juveniles with low reading levels. It had its first official session Friday in the Coconino County Detention Facility in Flagstaff.
Cruz had his first meeting for one-on-one tutoring with the inmate (who is not being identified at the request of jail officials).
They sat in the "program room" off one of the jail's cell pods. It has no windows, and the floor is polished cement. A mural of blue sky and clouds, lattices of purple flowers and a fountain is painted on one of the walls.
Along the walls are sayings:
"It's what we value, not what we have that makes us rich."
"No dream comes true until you wake up and go to work."
Cruz had his inmate read a story from a piece of paper. The inmate began reading, and Cruz followed along to get a sense of the inmate's ability to read "high-frequency" words.
Carynn Davis, executive director of LVCC, said high-frequency words are words most people have seen thousands of times during their reading lifetimes � words like "the, ran, some, sing, sleep." The words increase in difficulty through ranges to help the volunteers determine where to start with instruction.
Included in the hour-long session are sounding out parts of words that form a multitude of other words -- like "eigh" and "dge."
Cruz grew up on the streets of Los Angeles, where he had to look over his shoulder on his way to school, wary of any unfamiliar vehicle or person. He had a mountain of disadvantages to overcome.
He had reading and math problems.
Then, in fourth grade, he came across Ms. Taylor, and she offered to tutor him.
"She taught me a lot," Cruz said. "She didn't make any money, but she taught me a lot."
His mission: To give back what was given him.
"I feel blessed being able to give back what I've received so far," Cruz said.
In college and working toward a possible goal of becoming a youth probation officer, Cruz said he needed experience. The inmate literacy program was the ticket.
"As soon as I came around (to The Literacy Center), I realized what their goal was," Cruz said. "It's a wonderful program. It's a wonderful gain. Nobody's losing."
Cruz said his volunteering experience has taught him "patience and understanding."
He added, "It's taught me how to give more ... You're entering a world where you've never been."
Jim Bret, inmate program coordinator at the Coconino County Detention Facility, said jails and prisons are filled with people who are illiterate or have low levels of literacy.
According to the 2003 National Assessment of Adult Literacy, about 60 percent of prison inmates and 85 percent of juveniles are estimated to be functionally illiterate.
"The goal was to have more education programs," Bret said of the decision to come up with a literacy program for inmates and probationers locally.
Thus was born the Partnership for Literacy Rehabilitation.
The hoped-for outcome: "To have people leave our facility, go back into the community and be viable citizens," Bret said.
And not come back.
Davis said the PLR was the culmination of years of work among several agencies, including Coconino Community College, the Coconino County Sheriff's Office and Literacy Volunteers.
The program got off the ground last year with a $10,000 grant from the Flagstaff Community Foundation and other charitable organizations.
LVCC began doing inmate assessments to determine literacy levels and establish the need for a literacy program. More than 80 assessments have been made to date.
This year, aided by a $20,000 grant, the program is in the phase of setting up instruction, including one-on-one sessions, computer literacy and legal literacy.
Carynn Davis, executive director of Literacy Volunteers of Coconino County, said that the volunteers for the LVCC's Literacy Center come from all walks of life. In any given year, about 200 volunteers cycle in and out.
"We need volunteers all the time," Davis said. "We're actually short right now."
Currently, there are 45 active volunteers for four programs: The drop-in center, one-to-one matches, classes on- and off-site, and inmate and probation rehabilitation.
Volunteers do not need to have any specialized education, although some of the volunteers and participants do have literacy and language educational backgrounds, Davis said. Interested people are put through a four-component training that includes orientation, class work and in-the-field observation.
"Any volunteer who comes in, we try to find a place for them," Davis said, adding that there are instructional and non-instructional opportunities.
Literacy Volunteers has been serving the residents of Coconino County for 20 years.
