COLUMBIA CITY — The first transcontinental highway in the U.S. turns 100 this year.
Columbia City will be part of a celebration ceremony spanning the entire state of Indiana in July.
Indiana's Lincoln Highway Association is working to bring the highway's history through Whitley County, complete with classic cars.
Lincoln Highway Association is working to gather 100 participants who will ship their historic vehicles (pre 1980) and spend four weeks crossing the American continent on the Lincoln Highway.
This will help raise public awareness and renew the interest in the Lincoln Highway during its centennial celebration.
Establishments and organizations along the Lincoln Highway are asked to participate in the event. Association leaders are looking to connect with specific service providers and businesses that might benefit from the celebration.
The road show is expected to come through Columbia City July 8.
For more information on the event, contact the Indiana Lincoln Highway Association at 574-210-6278.

Plattsburgh Regional wine makers will be bringing their finest vino to the fourth annual Winter Wine Fest to raise money for a new exhibit at a local museum.
On Jan. 26, the Champlain Valley Transportation Museum will host its fourth annual Champlain Valley Winter Wine Festival showcasing the region's unique specialty wines and food.
All proceeds from the event will go to the museum to help build a Lozier Gallery and Kids Station, an interactive area built for children to touch, climb and interact with the exhibits.
The two-day event will begin with a grand tasting and silent auction at Legends Bistro and Comfort Inn on Route 3 from 4 to 7 p.m.
"It will be a chance to see what local products are out there," said Lisa LaFountain, director of fundraising and membership at the museum. "People will get the chance to talk to the different people who make the products and meet the people who enjoy them."
Local wineries to participate include: Amazing Grace Vineyard and Winery; Stonehouse Vineyard; Vesco Ridge Vineyard, and regional products will be presented by Liquor and Wine Warehouse; McCadam and Cabot Cheese; Jeezum Crow Beef products from D & D Meats; Homestead Maple; Gonyo Farms Jams and Jellies, and Batters Up Bakeshop, and others.
Guests will also enjoy a silent auction and live music by pianist Emily Carlin.
A dinner will follow the tasting at 7 p.m. with an exclusive three-course dinner at Legends.
"Each course will be matched with specifically paired wine that compliment each other," LaFountain said.
Last year LaFountain said the event raised about $5,000. The money helped convert the museum's lighting to LED that has saved the museum money and complimented the exhibits well.
The money raised at this year's event will help the museum develop a special museum dedicated to Lozier transportation creations.

The product itself is just great! I'm looking forward to using it for seedlings, as well as some tropical indoor plants. Have wanted a set like this for years and will truly enjoy it.
The instructions --- they could use some clarifications in some areas. A few things were left out, and could have used more info about the high intensity lights, which are different from the ones in the instructions. Could use a few more "helpful hints" along the way.
Having said that - it's a great unit!

text: This time last year, I was leaving the Cotton Bowl along with thousands of football fans who'd made the annual pilgrimage to watch the 106th Red River Rivalry, one of the highlights of the State Fair of Texas. While throngs of UT fans were making a beeline for the parking lot, dejected after their loss (a scene that was played out again today), I noticed many of the OU faithful heading straight for the fried food stands, eager to celebrate their victory by eating something—anything, everything—dipped in batter and dunked in hot oil. Naturally, I joined them. (Full disclosure: Although I am a native Texan and, thus, feel obligated to root for the home team even though I did not attend UT, my brother is a faithful OU alumnus, and I feel obligated to extend my unconditional sibling support even though he decided to go to school in Oklahoma. Plus, I went to school in Illinois, so I have no room to talk.) In between yells of "Boomer!," the celebratory Sooners popped doughy balls of fried beer into their mouths and hoisted paper boats filled with golden Oreos into the air like they were brandishing the Golden Hat itself.

By Chanel Filed under OITNB Comments Off on Laura Prepon Will Be in 'Most' of 'Orange Is the New Black' Season Two
Series creator Jenji Kohan says Prepon's character will not be in the entire season, but viewers will "see her for most of it"
The producers of Orange Is the New Black have given Laura Prepon a stay of execution for good behavior. Contrary to reports that the actress would appear in only four of the 13 episodes planned for the second season of Orange Is the New Black, the show's creator recently said Prepon will get screen time in the majority of the season's episodes.
"Yes, yes, she is coming back," Jenji Kohan told Us Weekly at the Writer's Guild Awards over the weekend. "Not the whole season, but. . . you'll see her for most of it." In August, it was reported that Prepon had not signed a contract for the second season. But things moved along quickly, and by November, news came out that she was negotiating her contract for the series' third season.
Kohan told TV Guide in October that the second season of the Netflix series – which centers on the often-comedic drama that takes place in a women's correctional facility – would focus on the cast as a whole. The first season had primarily focused on protagonist Piper Chapman (actress Taylor Schilling). The second will open things up. "It's becoming much more of an ensemble," Kohan said. "As much as I love Piper and Taylor and her journey, I think people are interested in everybody's journey."
She added that the second season would explore the backstories of some of the other inmates, including fan favorite Crazy Eyes (Uzo Aduba). And if the show is extended to a third season, Kohan said she'd like to explore the histories of the prison's guards.

Opponents of TransCanada Pipeline Call for Americans to Challenge Obama on Campaign Trail Until He Denies Tar Sands Pipeline Permit
Opponents of TransCanada Pipeline Call for Americans to Challenge Obama on Campaign Trail Until He Denies Tar Sands Pipeline Permit
Renewable energy advocate Tom Weis finally ended his Keystone XL "Tour of Resistance" at the fence line community of West Port Arthur in the shadow of giant oil refineries spewing toxic air emissions on Tuesday, December 21, 2011. Weis launched the tour 10 weeks ago at the U.S./Canada border and has pedaled the entire U.S. length of the proposed tar sands pipeline, including a stop in Antlers, in his "rocket trike" in support of landowners and communities in six states fighting Keystone XL. Pipeline opponents joined him in demanding that President Obama reject TransCanada's presidential permit without delay.
Ride endorser Paul Hawken, author of The Ecology of Commerce and Blessed Unrest, joined Weis in characterizing President Obama's November announcement to delay a decision on Keystone XL until after the 2012 election as "dangerous." Hawken joined the call for Obama to immediately reject TransCanada's permit, or be challenged on the campaign trail until he does. "If America does not draw the carbon line in the Athabasca tar sands, then the question is: who are we, and why are we here? Of all the environmental follies that have occurred in time, surely this is the greatest."
"President Obama has shown zero leadership on Keystone XL," stated Tom Weis, President of Climate Crisis Solutions. Calling for Americans to relentlessly challenge the president on the campaign trail until he rejects TransCanada's presidential permit, Weis said, "Keystone XL is not only un-American, it is a direct threat to our nation. Every day the president fails to deny this pipeline permit, he is failing to protect America and her people. He must be called out on this."
Texas landowner and founder of Stop Tarsands Oil Pipelines, David Daniel, who has been fighting TransCanada for more than three years, called the pipeline project "illegal, unregulated, untested, and a gross human rights violation with no public use justification." Daniel said, "My message to every politician, from President Obama on down, is if you plan to put my family's life and water at risk by supporting this pipeline, you need to be the first one to step foot on my property to try to take it."
Nebraska fourth generation rancher, Teri Taylor, who met with Weis during the ride to share how the fight against TransCanada has totally consumed their lives, said, "Keystone XL is not right for America. It puts America in danger." She appealed to President Obama as a mother and a grandmother: "Deny this permit for your daughters and my grandchildren."
Port Arthur resident Hilton Kelley, who received the 2011 Goldman Prize for fighting to protect his fence line community from the dangers of surrounding oil refineries, said, "The people of West Port Arthur have suffered enough. We cannot tolerate the additional toxic emissions Keystone XL would rain down on our community. Poor people also have a right to clean air and water." The U.S. EPA has openly criticized the U.S. State Department for not fully assessing the potential impacts of increased refinery emissions on the community of Port Arthur and its air and groundwater. TransCanada's Keystone XL pipeline could transport up to 830,000 barrels a day of toxic tar sands slurry to be processed in Gulf Coast oil refineries.
"President Obama faces a truly historical moment," said Oglala Lakota matriarch and 2011 Indigenous Woman of the Year award winner Debra White Plume. "The world will soon see if he caves in to the tyranny of big oil, or if he is a sensible human being with a heart on fire for life, for the future generations. I hope he denies the permit right away, as game over for big oil, and the first stroke of painting a beautiful path for our generations to walk on."

The American Red Cross Palmetto SC Region deployed a local Emergency Services Response Manager this morning to support rescue and relief operations in Colorado where Red Cross is providing shelter, food, relief supplies and comfort to thousands of people forced from their homes by flash flooding. Local Red Cross disaster-trained volunteers are on standby.
"Our hearts go out to those being affected by flooding," said Louise Welch Williams, regional chief executive officer, American Red Cross, Palmetto SC Region. "I am proud that our local disaster-trained volunteers are ready and willing to go to the affected areas to assist with relief efforts."
Dan Coto, Emergency Services Response Manger for the Palmetto SC Region, was deployed to Colorado to assist with the management of governmental relations as Red Cross is working closely with local emergency management officials and the Colorado National Guard to help ensure people get the help they need.
More than 400 trained disaster workers are staffing shelters and evacuation centers. More than a 500 people stayed in 14 shelters last night in Colorado. Working with community partners, the Red Cross has served more than 10,000 meals and snacks.The Red Cross has also mobilized more than 20 response vehicles and six truck loads of relief supplies.
Access to some communities is difficult due to flood waters and damaged roads. As flooded areas begin to re-open, the Red Cross will be there to assess the damage, distribute clean up supplies and support a recovery effort that will take weeks and months. The Red Cross is already planning for that effort now.
Flooding has also caused numerous evacuations in New Mexico and Texas and Red Cross workers are also helping people in those states, providing shelter, meals and comfort for those affected. The Red Cross is also supporting people affected by floods in Utah and Arizona.
People all across the flooded areas need your help now. The Red Cross has launched a large flood relief effort to help people in Colorado, New Mexico and Texas. We need the continued support of the public to help those in need.
Please consider making a donation to support Red Cross Disaster Relief today by visiting www.redcross.org, calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) or texting the word REDCROSS to 90999 to make a $10 donation.

On average the American Red Cross, Palmetto SC Region responds to a disaster every 6.5 hours. Since January 1, 2013, the Palmetto SC Region has responded to the needs of 1,176 families and 3,675 individuals affected by disaster in our region.
The Palmetto SC Region is made up of seven Red Cross Chapters that span 35-counties of South Carolina.

Schedule an Appointment
The Writing Commons offers three different types of appointments:
In-Person Appointments - Use the "Schedule an In-Person Appointment" link to schedule a face-to-face session with one of our tutors. Your tutor will collaborate with you to improve your writing skills by providing you with feedback and resources you need to be a successful writer. Whether you have nothing written or a full draft we can help you!
Online Writing Lab (OWL) Appointments - Use the "Schedule an Online Writing Lab Appointment" link to send your paper to the Writing Commons. Your appointment will be scheduled with a tutor (if an appointment is available) who will provide in-depth feedback regarding your concerns as stated when you submitted your paper. An OWL appointment does not require you to come to the fourth floor of the library or to be online during the appointment time.
Online Google Chat Appointments - Use the "Schedule an Online Google Chat Appointment" link to sign up for an Online Google Chat. Much like an in-person session, your tutor will collaborate with you to improve your writing skills. You will not need to come to the fourth floor of the library, but you will need to be on your KSU Gmail account for the duration of the appointment.
Note: All scheduled appointments are 45 minutes long.
Our appointments fill quickly, so sign up for your session today!
Walk-In Sessions
The Writing Commons allows students to try for in-person walk-in sessions, which do not require a scheduled appointment. When a session ends early, a tutor will be available to work with a student who has come in for a walk-in. This means that walk-in sessions are almost always less than 45 minutes in duration, so we encourage students to schedule appointments to receive the entire appointment time.
Attendance Policy
The Writing Commons has a "no show" policy to encourage in-person and online Google chat attendance. After missing two appointments, students will be blocked from scheduling additional appointments until he or she comes in for a walk-in session. Please contact us if you have any questions about this policy.

Highs and lows at Put-in-BayWritten by Michael Miller | Editor in Chief Emeritus | email@example.com
Every summer, the core Toledo Free Press team schedules a business retreat to Put-in-Bay. As a "business retreat," it's a day to retreat from business, to have fun and get away from the daily grind. We've traveled there for the past five summers, establishing a routine that is one of the season's highlights. We ride the Jet Express from Port Clinton to the island, and that 25-minute jaunt by itself is worth the trip. Cruising across that wide-open lake on the top deck with the sun embracing every atom, the wind playing 35 mph slap-and-tickle and the surging motion of the waves is like being scrubbed clean of the worries, stresses and annoyances of the workday.
Once on the island, we stroll along Hartford and Delaware avenues, past the Boathouse Bar and Grill, the Round House Bar and Frosty Bar, up to Catawba Avenue where Hooligan's Irish Pub and Tony's offer familiar menus. After lunch, we amble to Erie Street to Splash!, which earns its exclamation point with The Flaming Skull, a pirate ship bar docked beside a swim-up bar that winds under an upper-deck bandshell. Most of us pull up a stool, order a drink and people-watch. A few of our braver souls will wander into the water, and the next hour or so melts away like a slush daiquiri in the noon sun. Eventually, some of our group heads to the Round House to hear Mike "Mad Dog" Adams or to the Boathouse to hear the great Pat Dailey, while others walk the south coast of the island.
It's like an eight-hour spring break for those of us too old for spring break. It's a chance to live vicariously through the younger, presumably single people who are relaxed (i.e., inebriated) enough to make time with each other and drink while standing in a waist-deep pool none of the men ever seem to exit, even after enough hours and beers to make Superman's bladder cry for mercy.
It's faux voyeurism and faux debauchery, but it's as close to either as most of us get at this stage in our lives.
Family day
This year's Toledo Free Press retreat was one week before a smaller trip my family arranged with another family. I know the island offers plenty of non-Charlie Sheen activities, and we left early enough in the day to be able to leave before the nighttime rock 'n' roll started.
It was a beautiful, clear day, not oppressively hot but warm and sunny. We disembarked from the Jet Express and the eight of us (four adults and four kids, all younger than 11) stopped at De Rivera Park so the kids could romp on the playground while we waited for the nearby Perry's Victory and International Peace Memorial to open. The monument, which has been closed for repairs for the past few years, is now open and taking people up 317 of its 352 feet to an amazing vantage point of the island and lake. On a clear day, the view extends 59 miles to downtown Cleveland. It's a solemn monument, the resting place for three American and three British sailors who died in the Battle of Lake Erie. It is stunning architecture, the third-highest structure of its type in the world, after the Gateway Arch in St. Louis and the Washington Monument. It stands straight and erect, penetrating the sky and dominating the island.
Our next move was to buy tickets on the Put-in-Bay Tour Train, which circles the island and lets passengers disembark at several attractions, then climb back on board to continue the tour. We did not stop at either of the wineries or historical houses, but our first stop turned out to be a highlight of the day.
The Historic Fish Hatchery and Aquatic Education Center has a cumbersome name but offers a neat glimpse into the Division of Wildlife's work in the lake. Best of all, it features free fishing for the younger visitors. They hand you a rod and reel, point to the bait and let you fish from the dock.
It has been 30 years since I fished, but I wrapped a half of a worm around the hook and sat with 6-year-old Evan to let the line into the water. Evan was patient until his mom and younger brother Sean landed a decent-size pumpkinseed fish. Our line only caught nibbles and we sacrificed several worms, but even though we caught nothing, it was a great hour and a memory I will always keep.
Our train took us around to the north side of the island where a single stop offered hours of family activities, from a marvelous butterfly house and an antique car museum to miniature golf (The War of 18 Holes) and a number of other distractions, the most intriguing of which was Perry's Cave.
There used to be three caves open for touring, but two of them are no longer safe, a little tidbit of information the tour guide tells you once you have descended the slippery stone stairs and entombed yourself in a limestone cavern that would make even Bruce Wayne and Montresor claustrophobic. It's a tight little space, wet and close and mysterious.
The only time the two worlds of Put-in-Bay crossed was when, after our families ordered dinner at Pasquale's, I walked the patriarch of our guests to see the Christmas in July bacchanal at Splash! and its swim-up bar rival, Mist. It was only a 10-minute excursion, but we saw enough fruit of temptation to guilt us both into scurrying back to our families.
A Facebook friend of mine described the Christmas in July crowd at Put-in-Bay as "amateurs," but plenty of those women looked like professionals to me.
Kids in a candy store
We closed the day with a stop I knew would rock the kids, at the Depot Fudge Company. In addition to several handmade treats, the shop stocks hundreds of types of candy, from the most current Angry Birds-themed confections to ancient favorites like wax lips and the bonus of a 5-pound gummy bear. If you've never seen the phrase "kid in a candy store" come to life, the Depot Fudge Company offers your chance.
Our families, weary and happy, caught the Jet Express back to Port Clinton where we wrapped up the kids' day of indulgence with a quick stop at the Great Lakes Popcorn Co. on Madison Street. Try the Chicago Mix and the Black Cherry.
One side of Put-in-Bay aims for partiers, laden with thoughts of sin and sex. The other side offers wholesome family fun, free of any such vice, highlighted by the towering skyward thrust of Perry's Monument and the mysterious subterranean delights of Perry's Cave.
It's cool to know that one place can serve as a destination for such disparate purposes.

i misinterpreted the heading. i though this was gonna explain how to on-the-fly change the face-time call into a regular voice phone call. making it voice only like this article explains is the same thing for skype or any video chat apps. once the app is not open in the foreground it cuts video and keeps it at audio until you return to the video.
How to turn off video while on a FaceTime call
FaceTime calls are a great way to see who you're talking to, but there may come a time when you'd rather not be seen. Maybe you're not dressed for company, or maybe you simply don't want anyone to see who's with you, or behold the state of the world around you. While, Apple hasn't (yet?) enabled audio-only FaceTime calls, you can easily start a regular old FaceTime call and then turn off the video.
How to turn off video while on a FaceTime call
- Start or answer a FaceTime call, as usual
- Press the Home button on your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad.
That's it. A green bar across the top of the screen will let you know your FaceTime call is still active, but video will be disabled.
To start video again, simply tap the green bar to return to the FaceTime app.
How to get more help with FaceTime

How to turn off video while on a FaceTime call
It would be nice to switch back, but as we all figured out, once you hit the FaceTime button, it ends the voice call permanently to start up a FaceTime video call, whether or not that video call goes through. I've accidentally face-tapped the FaceTime button one too many times when the proximity sensor didn't kick in.
Same here.
I've read that full FaceTime (video and audio) is approximately 3MB per minute over cellular, and upwards of 12MB over Wi-Fi. Also, as of iOS 6, you can find the data usage of each FaceTime call in the Call History (Recents) tab on the Phone app.
thanx a lot, but i prefer to use this nice tool http://www.imcapture.com/IMCapture-for-FaceTime/, it allows to record FaceTime audio and video calls with great quality!)

Google's "20 percent time" in action
Thursday, May 18, 2006
I love what I do (I work for Google's Partner Solutions Organization, writing internal programs and tools to help better manage our partner relationships--check out our job listings), but Google's "20 percent time" recently came in handy. The 20 percent time is a well-known part of our philosophy here, enabling engineers to spend one day a week working on projects that aren't necessarily in our job descriptions. You can use the time to develop something new, or if you see something that's broken, you can use the time to fix it. And this is how I recently worked up a new feature for Google Reader.
I really like the keyboard shortcuts in Gmail, and they work in Reader too. But when using Reader, I found myself wanting to skip whole sections of stories, and I was wearing out my "N" key (which moves the browser down one item). There are buttons on the screen to scroll up and down a whole page at a time, but I thought it would be nice to have a keyboard shortcut too. I could have hacked something together with Greasemonkey or a Firefox extension, but that would've only helped me and the three other people who read my blog.
So I fired off an email to the Reader team, hoping that they'd be able to add a keyboard shortcut. The team got back to me right away, and they told me how easy it would be to add the shortcut myself. They were right--it was easy, because the internal documentation was good and the code was really easy to work with. Once my change had been reviewed, it went live.
And I have to admit--every time I use the new shortcut ("shift" and "N"), I get a little thrill at how easily I was able to get my idea implemented.
Hope you enjoy it too.

Viewers: in countries Watching now:
In Photoshop Lightroom 3 Essential Training, author Chris Orwig provides a comprehensive look at Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3, the popular photo-asset management, enhancement, and publishing program. The course covers indispensable techniques such as importing, processing, and organizing images in the Library, correcting and adjusting images in the Develop module, and creating slideshows, web galleries, and print picture packages. In addition to exploring all of Lightroom 3's capabilities, this course is rich with creative tips and expert advice on photographic workflow. Exercise files accompany the course.
Hey welcome! My name is Chris Orwig. I'm a photographer. And I'm a teacher among the faculty at the Brooks Institute in Santa Barbara, California where we are right now. And it is a stunning evening. The sun is about to set. The shadows are getting long. And the light is just exquisite. And you know I love getting out in the grayed outdoors with camera in hand. There's something about taking pictures in moments like this that reminds me that photography somehow gives me more. I get more out of life by taking pictures.
And if you're like me, you're probably passionate about photography. And my passion for photography extends to my postproduction work as well. That's why I'm really excited about this course, Lightroom 3 Essentials, because here you're going to learn everything that you need to know in order to get started with Lightroom. And Lightroom is a really powerful tool. It's simple. It's elegant. It'll help you to be more creative and more effective. So what exactly will we cover here? We'll start off by providing you with a bit of an overview of Lightroom.
From there we'll get into the interface. We'll focus in on some of our shortcuts. We'll also take a look at the Grid View and the Loupe View and Library module. We'll take a look at how can rate and sort our photographs. We'll also look at how we can add metadata or how we can export our photos to popular photo sharing sites like Flickr. And in addition, because getting good at Lightroom is about getting good at photography, I thought it'd be fun to include a few photographic creative tip movies. And I'll intersperse those throughout the entirety of this course just to provide you with a bit of insight and inspiration along the way.
Now in closing, it really is a distinct honor and privilege to partner with you in a training adventure like this. Thanks for joining me on this one. Let the adventure begin!

I have heard that the legal age of marriage was quite young in Jewish culture at the time of Christ. I believe a young girls at the age of twelve could marry. However, I find it difficult to imagine Mary as as young as thirteen years years old around the time of her giving birth based on the maturity of her words that are found in the gospels. Is there any tradition that would place a more realistic age of Mary? or is this just completely unknown even when guessing?
She was probably between 13 and 14 years old according to the Catholic Encyclopedia in the section entitled "Mary's pregnancy becomes known to Joseph":
The Magificat or the Canticle of Mary (Luke 1:46-56) mirrors Hannah's prayer 1 Samuel 2:1-10 so closely that one would have to think that Mary found her words in through reflecting on scripture.
That scripture, which would have been burned in to her Immaculate Heart, by means of a singular grace would have certainly been with her at a young age when she would be betrothed. One tradition (not Sacred Tradition), which is mostly forgotten by popular imagery, is in that Catholic Encyclopedia article Drew linked to which says that Mary was a consecrated virgin raised in the temple, that her parents Anne and Joachim prayed for her and when they got her, gave her up to the temple where she would have been able to absorb scripture like Anna (Luke 2:36-38), who would have certainly known all about her if that were the case.

CHAPEL HILL - Dr. Stewart Hobbs, Yadkin County School Superintendent, will serve as president of the North Carolina High School Board of Directors for the 2012-13 academic year.
Kathy Spencer, the superintendent of Onslow County, is the incoming vice president.
Hobbs is currently the superintendent of the Yadkin system after serving three and a half years as the superintendent of the Stokes County schools. He was at the helm of the Sampson County school system from 2003 until January of 2008.
A graduate of Clinton High School, Hobbs received his undergraduate degree from UNC-Wilmington, a masters of education from Fayetteville State University and his doctorate in education from UNC-Greensboro.
Hobbs had a successful coaching career before going into administration.
New Board members were recommended by the NCHSAA's Nominating Committee, based on the requirements of the Association's constitution and by-laws. The member schools at eight regional meetings select nominees for consideration across the state, then from among those nominees individuals are selected by the Nominating Committee to fill the available slots. They are approved by the membership at the NCHSAA Annual Meeting in May.
The new Board members nominated were either filling vacancies produced by members going off the Board due to completion of their terms or those who are off due to retirement or leaving public school work.
They include: Region 2 - 1A, principal M.D. Guthrie, Wallace-Rose Hill High School; 2A, principal Joe Poletti, Croatan High School; Region 8 -Tony Baldwin, superintendent, Buncombe County Schools.
Since the Annual Meeting, Sally Bradshaw, principal of Fred T. Foard High School in Catawba County, has left her position and thus has left the Board of Directors. Filling that position on a one-year interim basis for this year is Teresa Evans of North Iredell High School.
Herman Little of Elizabeth City Northeastern has also recently announced his retirement, and Ron Butler of the Pitt County Schools will be assuming that spot on the Board on an interim basis.
"These individuals will continue to provide outstanding leadership," NCHSAA commissioner Davis Whitfield said. "We look forward to Stewart Hobbs serving as president and the direction he will provide.
"We are also excited about those who will be joining the Board of Directors, which should help us to maintain an outstanding Board to serve our membership," he added.

A deal to purchase a sprawling property in exchange for kickbacks to school officials was making its way to South Carolina State University's board for approval, according to a letter by former lawyer Edwin Givens, which the university released Friday.
Edwin Givens
Home: ColumbiaEducation: Bachelor of science in computer science, S.C. State University; law degree, University of South Carolina School of Law.Previous work: Former general counsel at S.C. State. Before that, Givens was a shareholder in the McNair Law Firm, where he specialized in administrative and governmental law; general counsel for the S.C. Commission for the Blind; associate attorney at Newman and Sabb; and law clerk judiciary committee for the S.C. House of Representatives.Memberships: Richland County Bar, American Bar Association, 2011 Liberty Fellowship class; and a former member of the S.C. State University Board of Trustees and the Board of Directors of the South Carolina Philharmonic.
In the Oct. 31, 2011, letter to Richard Zahn, owner of the 121-acre Sportsman's Retreat, Givens stated the university officially intended to purchase the property for $2.8 million, contingent on the approval of the school's Board of Trustees, the state Budget and Control Board and the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
Givens was one of eight high-level university employees that former President George Cooper fired in February 2012.
In a prepared statement, Givens said he was given a directive from Cooper and former board Chairman Jonathan Pinson to let Zahn know that the university was officially interested in purchasing the property. He also said that Pinson and Cooper had asked Dale Wesson, the former vice president of research and extension programs, to determine if purchasing the property would benefit the school's 1890 Research and Extension Program. Wesson had determined the land purchase would benefit the school, Givens said.
Charleston attorney Peter Wilborn, who currently represents the university, said the proposed purchase of the Orangeburg County property never came to the university's board for approval because it was quashed by law enforcement officials conducting a public corruption probe that involved the university.
School leaders, however, are "very unhappy about the letter," Wilborn said. The school has policies and procedures in place for land purchases that he hopes would have prevented the purchase from going through if it had come to the board, he said. "But it went too far."
Federal authorities have said more indictments are likely in the public corruption probe.
Zahn, head of Longwood, Fla.-based ZMG Construction, pleaded guilty earlier this month to conspiring to defraud the U.S. government. He was accused of conspiring on the land deal with former S.C. State Police Chief Michael Bartley and Pinson.
Bartley pleaded guilty in the case last month and is said to be cooperating with investigators, while Pinson has pleaded not guilty to all counts of the indictment against him.
Pinson and Bartley were allegedly tasked with convincing the school to buy the property, according to court documents. In return for his help, Pinson was to get a $110,000 Porsche Cayenne, while Bartley stood to receive a new all-terrain vehicle and $30,000 in cash, authorities said.
Walter Tobin, the current chairman of S.C. State's Board of Trustees, has said he knew nothing about Zahn or the Sportsman's Retreat. "I didn't even know what it was until the indictments were issued," Tobin said.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Mark Moore has said Pinson and Zahn also were involved in unspecified business ventures in Columbia and Atlanta that also included Greer businessman Eric Robinson, who has been indicted with Pinson in another alleged kickback scheme.
Robinson pleaded not guilty to all counts of the indictment.
Nancy Wicker, chief of the U.S. Attorney's Office criminal division, said at Zahn's hearing last week that in October 2011, S.C. State board members gave conditional approval to the land purchase. But Zahn withdrew from the agreement after he was approached by the FBI, she said.
But in the letter released by the university Friday, Givens gave the conditional approval.
According to documents previously released by the university, Givens and the other seven terminated employees were let go for "conduct unbecoming of a state employee that substantially affects your fitness to perform assigned duties and that reflects unfavorable on the university, and your substantial failure to follow university rules, policies and procedures."
Wilborn said Givens was let go "as soon as we became aware there were questions involving him." Givens served as general counsel, Wilborn said, where "even the appearance of conflict is a big problem." The university took immediate action, he said. "We acted appropriately and swiftly."

Wind: 3 mph
"You have to know what you don't know" and "There's no such thing as a stupid question" were two mantras of NYU geology professor L. E. Spock nearly 60 years ago. Students who took his advice to heart were set for a lifetime of learning.
So, what don't we know? Certainly not enough about how to keep our homes warm and draft-free in winter and cool in the summer without destroying our budgets. We can all use some solid information about our homes' thermal deficiencies and how to correct them in the most cost-effective way.
One doesn't need to be a home heating specialist or a mathematician to gain solid insights into why and how homes leak heat and what can be done to help. Some solutions are surprisingly easy and inexpensive. Others take more time and money, requiring professional intervention. Wouldn't it be good to learn what's up with your own home?
Do you know that a 15-year-old refrigerator uses twice the electricity of an Energy Star rated one and that an Efficiency Vermont rebate is available for the purchase of a new one? Do you know that the windows you blame for your drafty home may not need expensive replacement but could benefit from a much less costly do-it-yourself caulk and insulation job?
Vermont's housing stock is among the oldest in the nation. That, coupled with our cold winters, leaves many Vermonters turning the heat up from October through April. Lack of solid information may be the cause of some of those high heating bills.
This Saturday, April 27, a Home Energy Conservation Workshop will be held at Warren's Town Hall from 9 a.m. to noon to help Valley homeowners fill in the blanks with plenty of time to ask questions, check out some interesting displays, pick up educational materials and learn from experts in home weatherization who work with Efficiency Vermont's Energy Star program. Several area contractors will be on hand as well as some local bankers who can answer questions about financing larger projects.
The workshop, hosted by Warren's newly reorganized Energy Committee, is open to all Valley residents. Pre sign-up is recommended so plenty of handouts and snacks can be on hand. Participants who want to volunteer to help friends and neighbors will benefit from additional information about Vermont's yearlong Home Energy Challenge program.
Find out what you don't know and ask some really great questions. You'll be glad you did!
Kyle and Brattstrom live in Warren.

CHICAGO — A 15-year-old majorette who performed at some of President Barack Obama's recent inauguration festivities has been shot to death in Chicago.
Police say Hadiya Pendleton was shot in the back Tuesday in a South Side park and died at a city hospital.
Authorities say Hadiya was one of about 12 teenagers sheltering from heavy rain under a canopy when a man jumped a fence, ran toward the group and opened fire. The man fled the scene in a vehicle. No arrests have been made.
Police do not believe Hadiya was the intended target of the shooting. A teenage boy was shot in the leg. Police did not release his name.
Hadiya belonged to the King College Prep High School band, which performed at several inaugural events in Washington, D.C.

Chloe goes off the rails about JJ, Daniel discovers something amiss in his apartment, and Anne irks Jennifer.
JJ has a nightmare about Daniel catching him sleeping at his apartment. He wakes up on Dan's sofa and dresses. He tells Bev and Rory they need to leave. He curses himself for breaking the glass in Dan and Jenn's picture and when the new superintendent, Lou, knocks and asks if Daniel's back, they all go silent. Lou says he heard water running. Bev opens the door. She introduces herself as Melanie Jonas. She's visiting from Europe. He seems satisfied.
Chloe arrives at Daniel's hotel and admonishes him for sticking around just to check up on her. He says he wasn't. "Did you really think I wouldn't find out about you and Jennifer?" She called her friend Anne Milbauer and got the gossip. Daniel's annoyed. Anne's not her friend. Chloe can't believe he's letting 'some bratty juvenile delinquent' get between him and Jenn. She worries for her son and starts yelling but Daniel asks her to trust that he'll do what's best for their son. She relaxes and they say goodbye.
At home, Jenn worries to Kayla about where JJ slept last night. She compares him to Theresa. Kim and Shane did everything to give Theresa a fresh start and look how that turned out. Kayla is sorry it turned out to be such a gigantic mistake. Theresa will have to go to jail. They both feel bad. Kayla goes and Jenn cries as she flashes to better times with JJ as a child. Anne arrives and asks Jenn to sign Theresa's termination papers. Anne's just being conscientious about her job. She doesn't think Jenn knows what the word means. Jenn signs and then calls her opportunistic, and disgusting before kicking her out.
Theresa arrives at Jennifer's office. Roman follows. He heard she was fired. She wants another chance but instead, he gives her a ticket. She's going back to Los Angeles. Kayla arrives as Roman says he'll pick her up tonight. Theresa asks Kay for another chance but it's too late.
Cameron looks for Chad at the club but finds Sonny. He brings up Chad stealing Cam's girl but Cam says they're still friends. Later, Sonny reads the promo for his Uncle Jack's book which comes out next month.
Abby turns up at Chad's. He's half-dressed. He forgot their date but will make it up to her. They make love and she worries about her brother. Chad's supportive. She talks about not telling her mother about them. Sonny texts Chad. He needs some papers so Abby offers to take them to the club for him. She goes and leaves an earring behind. Cam turns up to discuss new treatments. Chad refuses them. He trusts his doctor more than "an intern with ulterior motives." Cameron starts questioning the new protocol and asks where his doctor is. Chad won't say. He marks his territory and Cameron leaves.
Stefano sniffs a carnation at the park. EJ arrives alone. Sami's with the kids. Stefano guesses correctly. EJ hasn't told his fiancée about their agreement. EJ thanks him for giving him time. He plans on telling her tonight.
EJ looks for Chad at the club. Sonny says he's not in yet and apologizes for messing things up with Sami's case. EJ doesn't blame him and thanks him for letting Sami spend the morning with Arianna. Abby arrives with time sheets from Chad. EJ leaves and Sonny notices she's missing an earring. She grins. She knows where it is. He assumes she and Chad are getting serious and advises her to be careful.
JJ, Rory, and Bev walk through the park. JJ worries the new super will tell Daniel about "Melanie." Theresa calls, bitching about leaving Salem. She demands he get her job back for her. He won't do it so she calls him names.
Daniel heads home. He's excited when Lou calls to tell him about Melanie returning home. They hang up and he searches for batteries for Parker's game. He finds the smashed picture and calls Lou over. He asks the man to describe Melanie but he only says she was pretty with dark hair. Daniel realizes JJ was there.
Chad bumps into EJ on his way out. He congratulates his brother and EJ comments on how radiant Abigail looked earlier. Chad says they "took the plunge." EJ asks him to take another one and move back into the mansion. Chad laughs when he learns Stefano's going to be living there. He assumes Stefano had something to do with Bernardi's weapon being found and Sami's release. EJ looks around and complains about his brother living in a hovel. He finds Chad's treatment papers and frowns. "Do you have a brain tumor?" EJ asks.
Cameron goes to Kayla at the hospital and asks if she has heard of some new drug trial. She hasn't but suspects this is about Chad. He needs to back off.
Daniel confronts JJ at the park. "I know what you did!"

How diabetes can affect your kidneys
By Tom Nugent, Pure Matters
Diabetes is a chronic disease that involves the regulation of blood sugar and occurs in two different forms, type 1 and type 2. Both forms of diabetes result from the body's inability to either produce or respond adequately to insulin. (A third type, gestational diabetes, occurs only during pregnancy and frequently leads to type 2 diabetes.)
Insulin is the hormone that controls the movement of glucose from the blood into cells. Insulin is produced by the pancreas. Glucose -- also called blood sugar -- constantly moves through the bloodstream in order to supply the body with the energy needed for muscle contractions and metabolism.
The job of insulin is to make sure the glucose actually moves into the body's cells. Without insulin, the glucose builds up in the bloodstream. Over time, elevated glucose levels can damage the linings of blood vessels, leading to damage to the eyes, kidneys and other sensitive tissues. This vascular damage can cause blindness (diabetic retinopathy), impotence, kidney failure (diabetic nephropathy and end-stage renal disease), increased risk for heart attack and the deterioration of nerves or blood vessels. It also can cause insufficient blood flow to the arms and legs, resulting in amputation. Diabetes is the leading cause of new blindness in adults. It is the most common condition leading to dialysis and kidney transplant and the most common reason for below-the-knee amputations.
The process that causes type 1 diabetes, the less common form, directly affects the pancreas by destroying the beta islet cells that produce insulin.
Type 2 diabetes affects nine out of 10 people with diabetes. In the process that causes type 2 diabetes, the pancreas either does not produce enough insulin, or the body becomes less and less efficient at getting insulin to move glucose into the cells (insulin resistance). You can inherit the potential for type 2 diabetes, but whether you actually develop it may depend on environmental factors, such as obesity and lack of exercise.

As I understand this, it will *not* save money while traveling in europe. Right? I say this because it relies on your phone connection, not WiFi.
So far, I've not heard of anyone using it while traveling. So what's the advantage??
Skype On iPhone *faints*
Listen up Skype junkies! You can now use your iPhone to make Skype calls over the wireless tubular interweb...nets. A German-based company called SHAPE Services, whoever the hell that is, is offering a new service (invitation only, in beta) allowing iPhone users to connect with other users in the Skype ecosystem.
You can make calls to any Skype user at their PC, make el cheapo phone calls all over the world, or do the IM + Skype cally thing. Try it yourself and see what you think.

Skype On iPhone *faints*
As I understand this, it will *not* save money while traveling in europe. Right? I say this because it relies on your phone connection, not WiFi.
IM+ is a web-based skype application. One glaring difference between the actual skype app and IM+ is the cost. Skype can be downloaded for free to your computer and allows you to purchase a low-cost phone number in order to receive calls, IM+ costs $5.95 per month and does not allow incoming calls. The outgoing call function to landlines is also weak, often not even connecting. When will Skype just suck it up and create an app for the IPhone?
Hi. I have been lurking for a while now on your blog and decisively wanted to get the bravado up to say thanks to you. You have impressed me so much I have begun my very own blog and it's been going ok so far.

For Immediate Release:
Click here for full article including a video demonstration by Wired.
From Wired:
Not content to stop at creating some of the world's best synthesizer keyboards, the big brains at Moog Music have built an iPad app.
Groundbreaking New Synthesizer App Available to Professional Musicians, Hobbyists and Music Fans Alike for $.99 for 30 Days Only
Click to buy Animoog for 99¢!
ASHEVILLE, NC – October 17, 2011-- Moog Music today announced the release of Animoog, the World's first professional polyphonic synthesizer designed for Apple's iPad. For a 30-day, limited-time price of only $.99, professional musicians, hobbyists and music fans alike can have access to Moog's newest, groundbreaking synthesizer technology. Regular price $29.99
The heart of Animoog is Moog's Anisotropic Synthesis Engine (ASE), a technology that has been in development at Moog for nearly six years. Animoog captures the vast sonic vocabulary of Moog synthesizers and applies it to the modern touch surface paradigm, enabling any user to quickly sculpt incredibly fluid and dynamic sounds that live, breathe, and evolve as they play them.Whether users are new to synthesizers or are professional musicians, Animoog's unique user interface gives them the ultimate tool for total creative expression.
"Animoog is an amazingly entertaining instrument," said Mike Adams, president of Moog Music. "It is fun and educational. There will be people who discover the joy of making music using a synthesizer through Animoog who might not have otherwise. It is truly an entertaining experience for anyone." Adams explains, "ASE was originally designed for Moog's hardware synthesizers, but the technology is so incredible that we decided to make it available to everyone. With Animoog, we're taking the fear out of buying a professional music application, and giving people a nearly-free opportunity to explore a truly inspirational creative tool."
Animoog removes the boundaries of conventional instruments and brings an exciting array of creative tools to users' fingertips. Its graphical user interface is dynamic and immersive. Much more than a simple app, Animoog takes full advantage of the iPad's multi-touch surface. It gives artists the creative freedom to create and intimately control an entire sonic universe.
Ayad Al Adhamy, of the band Passion Pit, says, "While there are other iPad synthesizer apps (trust me - I might have all of them) what makes Animoog different is that it is not an app but an instrument. Moog has filled in the gap that other apps haven't - it is simple to use and it sounds great!"

FORT WALTON BEACH — Okaloosa County commissioners have chosen a Palm Beach County company to conduct a national search to hire the next county administrator.
The county will pay the firm, Colin Baenziger & Associates, a fee of $21,500 to advertise the job, recruit candidates nationwide and narrow that group to a smaller number of finalists.
The company was one of six that submitted proposals to the county.
"They were all reputable, high-quality firms," county Human Resources Director Kay Godwin said. "(Colin Baenziger & Associates has) done a lot of executive recruitment for the public sector. … Their methodology was right on target and something that I thought would work well for us."
Godwin said she also was impressed with the company's 45 percent minority placement rating.
Colin Baenziger & Associates will begin in the next few weeks by conducting one-on-one interviews with county commissioners about what they want in an administrator.
"The first step will be for them to gather information about our community," Godwin said.
After developing a job description, the company will advertise on multiple national platforms. She estimated that the entire search could take 90 days to four months to complete.
"We really want to have a decision by May so that person can come to work and be part of the budget process," Godwin said.
County Administrator Jim Curry, who will retire by the end of October 2013, has said he would like to walk his successor through the 2013-14 budget development process.
Curry, who has worked for the county for 35 years, entered the Florida Deferred Retirement Option Program, or DROP, in 2008. Under state rules, he must leave his post within five years of entering the program.
Curry was hired as an Okaloosa County corrections officer in 1978. Three years later, he was named director of the Corrections Department and served in that position until 1997. Curry served in the county's No. 2 position from 1997 until 2005, when he became county administrator.

Building money-smart childrenSeptember 22,2013I have always wondered what makes a kid smart about money. When I was a kid, I remember going to the bank with one of my parents, usually my mother.
She was a devoted mother of her day, what we now refer to as a stay-at-home mom, and yes, she did, and still does, make really good chocolate chip cookies. We would go to the bank and while my mother was writing on one of those paper slips in the neat little bins on the tall glass table, my sister and I would see who could take more of the paper slips in our little hand so we could play bank when we got home. (Our hands were small so we werent thieves, just little bandits!)
I recall watching grown-ups write checks, hand them to someone at the bank and get large stacks of money back. Same thing with credit cards. Id watch my father pull one out of his pocket, give it to a cashier, sign a receipt, stuff it in his pocket and we would walk out of the store with our purchases.
Wow, now that was easy. Give someone a card and get stuff. Write something on a piece of paper and get money in return. Finance and commerce can look pretty simple to a youngster. What I never saw was these same grown-ups paying bills, borrowing money and worrying about their paychecks. I guess they did that after I went to bed.
Kids get smart about money by watching money-smart adults and getting good life lessons from the time they are old enough to count. Heres a few to get you started.
Lesson 1. Buying on a whim can have long-term effects. If you see kids getting what they want when they want it, you can label them as overindulged (or worse) but the more important reality is they may well grow up to be impulse shoppers. Its like going grocery shopping when you are hungry. As an adult, try to limit trips to the store or mall so they are treats and do not become a lifestyle.
Lesson 2. As seen on TV fills a need, for the moment. If you see kids in the store and they say to an adult, thats the one I saw on TV, I just really, really want it and they get it, that can lead to a shopping addiction where fulfilling ones need is more like a fix than a need. And why is it that just about everything thats seen on TV is never that cool in real life?
Lesson 3. Theres nothing like their own money. If a child wants, really wants, something, have them buy it themselves with an allowance. I remember one of our sons wanting something all his life and he was only 7. He bought it with his allowance. When you are 7, two months is an eternity. He asked for something a few weeks later and we told him that he had spent his allowance and didnt have the money for the second item. The first toy he desperately needed was still intact but its allure had lost some of its luster. It was hard to watch him want other things and say no to him but he soon got the picture and became more selective in his purchases.
Lesson 4. Managing money can be fun. Saving money and learning about money need not be boring. A colorful piggy bank, a play cash register can show kids how money works, how to save and what happens when you spend it. Try the Allowance Manager app. Its a great tool to teach kids about money and its fun.
The truth is that most parents love their children unconditionally and want to give them the world. Just remember that the world includes giving them a sense of responsibility. While not as much fun as buying them a new beloved toy, its a beloved life lesson that will pay them dividends many times over the course of their lives.
Money-smart kids become money-smart adults when financial decisions really matter.

This should be interesting.... Good luck to him and look forward to his contributions.
Adobe CTO Kevin Lynch leaving to join Apple
Adobe's CTO, Kevin Lynch, is leaving the Photoshop and Flash maker to join Apple. CNBC's Jon Fortt got the statement from Adobe:
Kevin Lynch, Adobe CTO, is leaving the company effective March 22 to take a position at Apple. We will not be replacing the CTO position; responsibility for technology development lies with our business unit heads under the leadership of Adobe CEO Shantanu Narayen. Bryan Lamkin, who has recently returned to Adobe, will assume responsibilities for cross company research and technology initiatives as well as Corporate Development. We wish Kevin well in this new chapter of his career.
No mention of what Lynch's role would be at Apple. Given Adobe's recent focus on software-as-a-service with Creative Cloud, perhaps online in Eddy Cue's division would be an obvious place. Apple tends to subsidize software costs with hardware, however, so the subscription part could likely be much less important than the cloud part.
More if/when Apple or Lynch comments, or his new role leaks. In the meantime, speculate away!
Update 1: CNBC has updated their story, and reports that Lynch's title at Apple will be VP of Technology, reporting to Bob Mansfield, SVP of Technology. Mansfield runs the hardware guts at Apple, including chipsets, which, if accurate, seems like an odd place for a software guy like Lynch.
Update 2: According to AllThingsD, Lynch will be coordinating between the software and hardware teams.
