LOGAN – Alicia Dawn Price Miller Mayes, 29, of Jeffrey, was arrested after Logan Police Department Officers Dickerson and Adkins responded to a call from Wal-Mart about an accused shoplifter.
The officers were told Mayes entered the store, went to the Home Goods Department, removed several picture frames and left without paying for them.
Mayes gave the officers a false Social Security number when they were speaking with her. After investigating further, the officers discovered Mayes had been convicted of shoplifting on July 26, 2003, and March 21, 2010.
When the officers made an incident to arrest search of Mayes' purse, they found a brown paper containing two burgundy pills, later identified by the Wal-Mart pharmacist as Ambian 5 mg, a Schedule IV controlled substance. Mayes had no prescription for the drug.
The officers asked Mayes if she had any other items or narcotics on her person and she told them no several times, then stated she had more pills inside her bra. Also located in her bra was approximately $400.
The total value of the goods involved in the shoplifting charge was $46.64.
Mayes was arrested and charged with shoplifting 3rd, possession of a controlled substance and obstructing. She was released under $5,000 bond.

The search is on for South Carolina's outstanding senior volunteer.
The Salute to Senior Service program, sponsored by Home Instead, the franchisor of the Home Instead Senior Care network, honors the contributions of adults 65 and older who give at least 15 hours a month of volunteer service to their favorite causes.
Nominations for outstanding senior volunteers will be accepted between through March 31. State winners then will be selected by popular vote at SalutetoSeniorService.com. Online voting will take place from April 15 to April 30. From those state winners, a panel of senior care experts will pick the national Salute to Senior Service honoree.
Home Instead will donate $500 to each of the state winners' favorite nonprofit organizations and their stories will be posted on the Salute to Senior Service Wall of Fame. In addition, $5,000 will be donated to the national winner's nonprofit charity of choice.
"We all know seniors who do so much for our community," said Nancy and Harry Fendrich, owner of the Home Instead Senior Care office serving Charleston and the Lowcountry of South Carolina. "These silent heroes give selflessly, expecting nothing in return. And yet, their contributions often make a difference not only to the organizations they serve, but in changing how the public views growing older."
Senior care professionals and those who work at hospitals, senior care facilities and other places where seniors volunteer are encouraged to nominate older adults. So, too, are family caregivers and the adult children of aging parents. Older adults also may self-nominate.
To complete and submit a nomination form online for a senior age 65 or older who volunteers at least 15 hours a month, and to view the contest's official rules, visit SalutetoSeniorService.com. Completed nomination forms also can be mailed to Salute to Senior Service, P.O. Box 285, Bellevue, NE 68005.
For more information about Salute to Senior Service or the Home Instead Senior Care network's services, call 843-571-3000.

In 2007, I thought the consolidation of the Malvern and Nishna Valley school districts into one East Mills Community School District was a good idea.
I don't feel that way anymore.
As an outsider looking in, the Nishna Valley-Malvern marriage appears to be on shaky ground.
By Daisy Hutzell Rodman
In early January 2006 I dropped by the desk of my friend and editor Howard K. Marcus as he shoved on his jacket. "I'm late for a meeting at the Press Club!" he exclaimed.
"You belong to the Omaha Press Club?" I asked. "I've wanted to join for years."
This was true. In late fall 1998, Wade and I sat in bar chatting with the people around us.
"Where do you work?" I asked someone.
Seventy years ago today, on what started off as just another peaceful Sunday morning, news of an unimaginable event was relayed across America through a series of "special bulletin" radio broadcasts.
The Empire of Japan had carried out a surprise military attack on Pearl Harbor - a strategic U.S. naval base in Hawaii. The first reports indicated mass casualties and injuries, major destruction to U.S. battleships and aircraft, numerous buildings ablaze and a state of chaos in and around Pearl Harbor. War was imminent.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait a second. The Catholic Church is blaming the 1960s for its child molestation scandals?
A five-year study released by John Jay College of Criminal Justice seems to suggest as much.
The study was undertaken at the request and with the financial support of America's Roman Catholic bishops. The report links the spike in child abuse by priests in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s to, the study says, "the importance given to young people and popular culture."
The irony of President Obama announcing to the American public on May 1 that Osama bin Laden had been killed by U.S. special military forces in Pakistan hasn't gone unnoticed in the past 72 hours.
It was on May 1, 1945, when the world learned through a radio broadcast that Nazi Germany dictator Adolph Hitler had committed suicide.
Last week, I had the opportunity to get a personal tour of the famous Todd House down in Tabor. I had heard a lot about the place over the years - knew it had a lot of history behind it and a connection to the Underground Railroad - but had never actually seen the place in person.
I've stated previously in this column that one of the greatest privileges I've had during my time as editor of The Opinion-Tribune was accompanying World War II veterans from southwest Iowa to Washington, D.C., in September 2008, on the inaugural Western Iowa Honor Flight.
More than 100 million American families will answer their door bells and hand out candy this Halloween.
I guess it was nice to learn that I wasn't being singled out or picked on.
Judging by some e-mails I've received in the past week, I wasn't the only Glenwood resident slapped with a sizeable rate hike on my water and sewer bill this month from the Glenwood Municipal Utilities.
I must have read my invitation wrong, but I thought last Thursday's gathering in western Mills County was supposed to be a groundbreaking celebration for the new U.S. Highway 34 - Missouri River bridge project.
I didn't know it was going to turn into a summit to discuss Nebraska's move to the Big 10 Conference and the future rivalry between the Husker and Hawkeye football teams.

The popular Camera+ iOS app from developer taptaptap gets an update today, jumping from version 4.0.2 to Version 4.2 (just for the fun of it according to the release notes below), and adds a few notable new features.
On top of fixing a bug that crashed the app when using burst-mode, the update includes support for full-resolution bust-mode photos. That includes the iPhone 5, iPhone 5s, and the "unapologetically poorly-selling iPhone 5c," according to taptaptap.
The app also adds a new effects pack that includes Apple's new iOS 7 filters:
So we added a new effects pack that includes all the filters that Apple's standard Camera and Photo apps include (for users on iOS 7). Two hours of coding (and eight trivial Core Image filters later), the Standard Effects Pack was born.
The updated Camera+ is available on the App Store now.
What's New in Version 4.2
So the previous version of Camera+ had a little bug where burst-mode shooting would crash. We fixed that.
We almost stopped there and just called it version 4.0.3, but then figured that it'd be the perfect time to boost burst-mode snaps to full-resolution on devices that could handle it (like the iPhone 5, iPhone 5s, and the unapologetically poorly-selling iPhone 5c).
That was enough to justify calling it version 4.1. And then we thought about jumping on the bandwagon where we put Camera+ out as a whole new app and let existing customers pay for it all over again. And of course there'd be the ensuing sh__storm where those customers felt cheated and we'd have to backpedal and reverse that shortsighted decision.
So it was Clear that that would've been a knuckleheaded move so instead, we decided to treat our lovely customers fairly and make Camera+ 4.1 a free update as we've always done. But then we felt like it was all give and no take… so to make us feel better about giving-in too easily, we chose to call it version 4.2. That'll teach you to mess with us.
Then we felt bad about jumping ahead two version numbers and giving you little for your troubles. So we added a new effects pack that includes all the filters that Apple's standard Camera and Photo apps include (for users on iOS 7). Two hours of coding (and eight trivial Core Image filters later), the Standard Effects Pack was born.

Wow, I think that Camera+ is having a go at ProCamera 7 for releasing a new app. The problem is there hasn't been a shitstorm around the new version. Quite the opposite, users have been overwhelmingly impressed at the new interface and features. ProCamera has significantly more photo, video and editing capabilities than Camera+, which seems to get by on pithy copywriting and free filters.
For those who actually want to see an app that is trying to innovate then head over to the App page: http://procamera-app.com/appstore
"So it was Clear that that would've been a knuckleheaded move" *zing*
It's very Clear that ProCamera 7 is a much better app than Camera+. The developer of ProCamera is too humble to say this but every photographer admits this very fact. I am very surprised that Camera+'s maker talked dirty about ProCamera 7, it's extremely narrow-minded.
It may be a free upgrade, but it is not a free download

Kids ages 5-12 took part in the camp, held at the high school baseball/softball complex and the Central Recreation Complex off Ga. 18 from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. each day. Coaches from the high school and middle schools, along with current and former players, served as the instructors. Photos from the camp are on page B2.
And from 11 a.m. until nearly 10 p.m. at night, a series of junior varsity and varsity baseball games were played at the high school field.
The annual tournament, organized by Jones County coach Barry Veal, is a way for coaches to work with players returning for next season and get a look at the younger players coming into the high school program.
In addition to the games played at JCHS, more games were also played at Northside High in Warner Robins and at Perry High. Other schools participating included Perry, Northside, Veterans, Houston County, Howard, Stratford, Dublin, Upson-Lee and Crisp County.
The varsity Greyhounds won four games and tied one in the Shootout. Jones County fielded two junior varsity teams, which together won eight games and lost two – including a matchup between the two Jones teams.

The following
letter was sent to the Program Manager of the KidsPeace FCCP
offices in Florida.
Whom it May Concern:
About 18 months ago, I
needed help for my three children. We were going through so many changes in our
family. We were dealing with the issues of a divorce, new relationships, new
stepfamily, new baby, moving to a new home and undesirable input from others
I had visited with a
private counselor, but she did not accept our insurance. She was kind enough to
look into possible avenues for us and referred me to
KidsPeace. I had seen the sign for KidsPeace on the window of her building, but
I was not familiar with the organization. I really needed help. I called KidsPeace. From our first conversation, I felt comfortable with the counselor. She was
a wonderful listener. She asked lots of questions, was not judgmental and, most
of all, it was obvious that she was the advocate of each child who was her
client. She was interested in the well-being of the child, the confidence,
security in and of self, the free thinking and the ability of that child to
accept, communicate about, embrace, and participate in, his or her life,
whatever that might look like to that individual child.
Some of the issues we
identified in our planning meetings were anger, confidence and sibling
"rivalry." We, with the children's input, established goals for the
three-month periods. I feel that our counselor helped the children to address the
issues that pertained to each of them. I have especially seen my daughter,
Linda*, 11 years old, apply the tools that she learned in counseling sessions .
Linda has actually come to me when I am having a problem and offered her
opinion, which is full of ideas and skills that have come from her counseling
with KidsPeace! I have seen her take a situation that is difficult for her and go
from anger and being "out of control" to being positive, clear about
her feelings, identifying pro's and con's, in control of her feelings and ready to
meet the situation head-on. It is amazing to watch. She has gained tools that
will serve her throughout her life. We have a very open household now, full of
open communication and encouragement, and she is flourishing; I most definitely
attribute much of her growth and success to her experience with her KidsPeae counselor.
only was our counselor highly effective in her sessions with the children, she made
herself available to me whenever I needed to talk with her. I called her
many times to update her on the kids' situations, but, very often, I was vexed
with a problem and needed advice. I called and she listened and advised,
always with a sincere concern for James*, Joseph* and Linda. This was very
helpful, especially in regard to James. I was going through a difficult time
when James did not want to come to my home and spend time with me. I
struggled for weeks and months over it and finally took her advice ... We
had a session in which I sat with James and the counselor and told him that I loved
him, and, because I loved him, I would let him do what he wanted to do. He
smiled at me and said, "Gracias." It was a wonderful moment.
Our relationship has improved, and continues to improve, since that day.
One by one, each of my
children expressed that he or she was ready to finish counseling. So, we did
close them out, each at the appropriate time. KidsPeace staff were wonderful to all of us
from our first encounter to the last session. We left the door open for any of
the children to return if the need arises.
have obviously been very happy and satisfied with KidsPeace and with our counselor individually. Thank you for providing such a valuable service.

SAS, the largest airline company in Scandinavia, offers cheap international flight tickets to Longyearbyen. Our city guide will help you to find out what's up and the best tips from SAS crew and passengers.Longyearbyen is the gateway to Arctic adventures in the majestic landscape of Svalbard.
Find out about flights to Longyearbyen on SAS today.
Longyearbyen is the main town of Norway's Svalbard archipelago and the area's primary port and administrative center. The town sits on the Isfjorden (ice fjord) on Spitsbergen, the largest island of Svalbard. Longyearbyen was established in 1906 and today has a small population of around 2000 inhabitants. The backdrop for Longyearbyen is stunning. Large glaciers cover most of the island while ice bergs float around the city.
Despite the small number of residents, the town has a few cultural activities and sights worth visiting, including the Svalbard museum and Longyearbyen gallery—and of course numerous restaurants and pubs. However, the primary reason for visiting Longyearbyen is to explore the natural wilds of the Svalbard islands.
The Svalbard Museum presents the history and life in Svalbard from the last 400 years. The exhibits explore the relationship between nature, man, culture, technology and the environment in the Arctic. You can learn about Svalbard's first settlements, whaling and mining industries and expeditions in the area. The museum also covers some of the scientific research conducted in Svalbard as well as an overview of the nature found in the region.
Longyearbyen Gallery features the Svalbard collection of old maps and books. There are also paintings and photographs on display here from Norwegian artists.
During the summer, you can hike in the area or take a boat or kayak among the sea life and take in the scenery from the water. In the winter, glacier walks, dog-sledding, skiing and snowmobiling are popular activities.

This is my last election. After my election, I have more flexibility.
Barack Obama to Dmitry Medvedev, March 26, 2012
WASHINGTON The puzzle of the Chuck Hagel nomination for defense secretary is that you normally choose someone of the other party for your Cabinet to indicate a move to the center, but, as The Washington Post editorial board points out, Hagels foreign policy views are to the left of Barack Obamas, let alone the GOPs. Indeed, they are at the fringe of the entire Senate.
So whats going on? Message sending. Obama won re-election. He no longer has to trim, to appear more moderate than his true instincts. He has the flexibility to be authentically Obama.
Hence the Hagel choice: Under the guise of centrist bipartisanship, it allows the president to leave the constrained first-term Obama behind and follow his natural Hagel-like foreign policy inclinations. On three pressing issues in particular:
1. Military Spending
Current Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said in August 2011 that the scheduled automatic $600 billion defense cuts (sequestration) would result in hollowing out the force, which would be devastating. And strongly hinted that he might resign rather than enact them.
Asked about Panettas remarks, Hagel called the Pentagon bloated, and needing to be pared down. Just the man youd want to carry out a U.S. disarmament that will shrink America to what Obama thinks is its proper size on the world stage, i.e. smaller. The overweening superpower that Obama promiscuously chided in his global we-have-sinned tour is poised for reduction, not only to fund the bulging welfare state but to recalibrate Americas proper role in the world.
2. Israel
The issue is not Hagels alleged hostility but his public pronouncements. His refusal to make moral distinctions, for example. At the height of the second intifada, a relentless campaign of indiscriminate massacre of Israelis, Hagel found innocence abounding: Both Israelis and Palestinians are trapped in a war not of their making.
This pass at evenhandedness is nothing but pernicious blindness. Just last month, Yasser Arafats widow admitted on Dubai TV what everyone has long known that Arafat deliberately launched the intifada after the collapse of the Camp David peace talks in July 2000. He told his wife to stay in the safety of Paris. Why, she asked? Because Im going to start an intifada.
In July 2002, with the terror still raging, Hagel offered further exquisite evenhandedness: Israel must take steps to show its commitment to peace. Good God. Exactly two years earlier Israel had proposed an astonishingly generous peace that offered Arafat a Palestinian state and half of Jerusalem, a previously unimaginable Israeli concession. Arafat said no, made no counteroffer, walked away and started his terror war. Did no one tell Hagel?
3. Iran
Hagel doesnt just oppose military action, a problematic option with serious arguments on both sides. He actually opposed any unilateral sanctions. You cant get more out of the mainstream than that.
He believes in diplomacy instead, as if talk alone will deter the mullahs. He even voted against designating Irans Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist organization.
Most tellingly, he has indicated that he is prepared to contain a nuclear Iran, a position diametrically opposed to Obamas first-term, ostensibly unalterable opposition to containment. What message do you think this sends the mullahs?
And thats the point. Hagel himself doesnt matter. He wont make foreign policy. Obama will. Hagels importance is the message his nomination sends about where Obama wants to go. The lessons are being duly drawn. Irans official media have already cheered the choice of what they call this anti-Israel nominee. And they fully understand what his nomination signals regarding administration resolve about stopping them from going nuclear.
The rest of the world can see coming the Pentagon downsizing and the inevitable, commensurate decline of U.S. power. Pacific Rim countries will have to rethink reliance on the counterbalance of the U.S. Navy and consider acquiescence to Chinese regional hegemony.
Arab countries will understand that the current rapid decline of post-Kissinger U.S. dominance in the region is not cyclical but intended to become permanent.
Hagel is a man of no independent stature. Hes no George Marshall or Henry Kissinger.
A fringe senator who left no trace behind, Hagel matters only because of what his nomination says about Obama.
However the Senate votes on confirmation, the signal has already been sent. Before Election Day, Obama could only whisper it to his friend Dmitry. Now, with Hagel, hes told the world.

So...yesterday I had an ultrasound, NST and appointment. Today I'm 37w. The ultrasound showed great fluid and baby size and all that. The NST was as it should go. My office BP was good and there was no protein in the dipstick. My weight went down about 3 pounds from Monday. No headache or any of the other pre-e symptoms right now (though I have had dull headaches on and off and the doctor is aware).
Even though I'm now taking medicine for blood pressure and my doc increased my prescription to 150mg labetelol 2x/day, and even though we talked about the HYPITAT study, we aren't inducing just yet.
Part of me just wants to be done being pregnant so I won't have as much stress about will I or won't I develop full pre-e? But part of me would really like to keep this baby growing inside as long as she and I are ok, for another week. I do worry about her needing extra help breathing, eating, regulating her temperature, stuff like that. So I wonder if keeping her in for a little while longer could help with that. This study has influence for me: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21054760 I don't have chronic hypertension, but perhaps this is just being 'unmasked' in me?
I also would love to go into labor on my own within the next few days! That would be ideal. My OB even wonders if being in labor is what triggers pre-e for me, since that's when it came on with my other two. I guess we'll see.
At any rate, I asked if we could induce at 38w if nothing else, even if everything is ok with me and baby on ultrasound/NST/labs. She said ok. One more week.
I have another appointment and NST on Monday and we'll just go from there.
It's tough being in this grey area. I hope we're doing the right thing here.

ROGERS, Ark. — Stacy Lewis made four straight birdies and eight overall to shoot a 6-under 65 on Saturday and join a group of four players atop the leaderboard at 10 under after the second round of the LPGA NW Arkansas Championship.
Lewis, the world's No. 2 player, earned an unofficial win at the rain-shortened event as an amateur in 2007. She is the local favorite this week, having played collegiately at Arkansas.
Chie Arimura and Beatriz Recari both equaled Lewis' 65 and are tied entering the final round with So Yeon Ryu.
I.K. Kim and defending champion Ai Miyazato tied for the lowest round of the day, each shooting a 7-under 64.
First-round leader Mika Miyazato shot a 70 and is three shots back.
Els, Levy, Noren in 3-way lead in Munich
MUNICH — Alexander Levy overcame two bogeys to shoot a 4-under 68 in the third round Saturday to pull into a three-way tie with Ernie Els and Alex Noren atop the leaderboard of the BMW International Open.
The trio was even at 15-under 201 heading into Sunday's final round.
Els, who had a one-stroke lead and shot 69, remains confident he can claim the title. The two-time winner of the British Open and U.S. Open says, "I'm playing nicely."
One stroke behind the leaders are
Matthew Baldwin and Thomas Bjorn, who holed nine birdies were one shot back, while Peter Uihlein was another stroke further behind in sixth after a 67.
Play was delayed by one hour at the start and again later due to heavy rain.

Michael Stanley to rock Cleveland on New Year's EveWritten by Vicki L. Kroll | | email@example.com
All you get to keep are the memories,
You got to make the good ones last.
— "Somewhere in the Night" by Michael Stanley and Bob Pelander
Michael Stanley has a lot to ruminate on. The Cleveland icon has been making memorable music for more than four decades.
"What I'm most proud of is that we're still doing it and I think doing it better than we did. We don't run around as much as we used to due to age and infirmity," he said then laughed.
"To do it as long as we did as MSB (Michael Stanley Band), which we did for 14 years — that's a long time for a band. Most bands are like National Football League players: Their careers are like two years and then they come to their senses and go on to something else.
"We were able to do that and certainly didn't achieve everything we wanted to, but at the same time, we achieved a lot of things that we never had any idea that we'd do, like all these attendance records that everybody else who played couldn't break; that's kind of crazy."
Stanley was talking about how the band sold out four consecutive nights at Blossom Music Center in 1982. The group also holds single show and two-night attendance records at the Richfield Coliseum in 1979 and 1981, respectively.
"My Town," "Lover" and "He Can't Love You" were anthems in Ohio back then.
"[Songs have] to hit something emotionally in the listener, and the more that you hit that way, those are the ones that sort of rise above and become hits," the songwriter said during a call from his Cleveland home.
Since the band broke up in 1986, Stanley has continued to create quality music. His 12th solo disc, "The Hang," was released earlier this year. The guitarist was faced with several losses while working on that record: His wife died in 2011, and his mother, stepfather, father and ex-wife died in 2010.
"'The Hang' was kind of cathartic. When all was said and done, I think it was a hopeful album, but at the same time there was some dark stuff on it," he said.
His next disc, "The Ride," is expected to be out in March.
"A lighthearted outing was needed," the singer said of the new CD. "It was just a personal decision to get out of the dark and get into the light and do something that made me smile for a while, so that's what 'The Ride' is; it's just going down another road musically and seeing what's down there."
Michael Stanley and The Resonators will play at the House of Blues in Cleveland on Dec. 31. Doors open at 8 p.m. Tickets range from $43.50 to $199.50.
"A lot of times since it doesn't say Michael Stanley Band anymore, [people] think, 'Oh, there's not going to be anymore of that stuff,' but three-quarters of the show is things they've heard at Blossom and the Front Row and the Coliseum," he said. "We're making memories like the song said."

Colorblock Stripe Knit Dress
Style # 210566
Colorblock and stripes as a pair are always exciting! Put them on a bebe bodycon sweater dress and the result is trčs, trčs chic! Soft knit offers a soft stretch that holds you in. Try them with a pair of booties and an ornate belt to dress it up.
- 96% rayon, 6% spandex
- Center back to hem: 31" (79 cm)

- Model is 5'9" and is wearing a US size S
Rated 5 out of 5 by 2 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by kbrc FLATTERING! This dress is so flattering it makes me look a few sizes smaller! I love it perfect length for my 5'11" height!!! Can't wait to wear it! February 28, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by momo Guys hang on tight to your ladies! Guys hang on tight to your ladies! This dress makes curvy women sizzling H.O.T.! If your lady wears this dress, she will definitely attract gazes and stares! It enhances all the right body parts and hides flaws. This is a dress definitely made for the curvier women. I didn't think much of this dress when I saw it on the hanger, on the mannequin, and even the model doesn't do it justice. You have to try it on to understand what I said. Top notch design and quality: color combo makes it pop (you will definitely stand out in the crowd), thick, lined, holds you in well, fits true to bebe dress sizes but if you like a snug fit go down a size because bebe dresses always stretch after a few wear. If you can rock this number mid thighs or lower, the cut of the dress is even conservative enough for the office (with tights on). February 15, 2013

Energy forum set for Bennington on March 21By Patrick McArdle
STAFF WRITER | March 14,2013BENNINGTON — The Bennington County Regional Commission is hosting a public forum on Thursday in Bennington to discuss the possibilities for different energy sources in Southern Vermont including wind, solar and hydro-electric.
The forum, for which there is no cost, will include presentations by William Scully, of Carbon Zero, who developed a hydro-electric project in Bennington, and John Guerin, from EOS Ventures, a company that developed a solar project in Pownal. Also making presentations will be Tom Evslin, co-founder of NG Advantage, a Milton company that delivers natural gas, and Adam Sherman from the Biomass Energy Resource Center in Montpelier.
James Sullivan, executive director of the Bennington County Regional Commission, or BCRC, said the forum will look at some emerging energy sources for Bennington County, some of them already in use and others with increasing potential.
"There's certainly been a lot of interest in (energy). Our regional energy plan (for the BCRC) suggests that looking down the road, 20, 30 years in the future that almost inevitably we're going to have to rely to a greater extent on local resources and local generation for energy," Sullivan said.
Some recent developments have increased the interest in some of the energy sources to be discussed at the forum.
For instance, Scully's hydro-electric generation project, located at the former Vermont Tissue mill is very close to getting its final permits while the solar project in Pownal, which is owned by Gestamp Renewables and located at the Southern Vermont Energy Park, is online and another solar project is expected soon near the Bennington transfer station. Biomass heating projects are already in use at Bennington College and Mount Anthony Union middle and high schools.
Sullivan said NG Advantage is not delivering natural gas to Bennington County yet but considering proposals that would extend their deliveries to this area.
Sullivan said he thought it would be useful that some of the presenters will have local experience.
While the forum will look at what's available in the area and the potential they represent for future energy needs, Sullivan said he also expects it will spark some general conversation and interest in energy from renewable or alternative sources.

Acne Wash
A fairly runny, water-soluble cleanser whose tiny amount of peppermint leaf water is not likely to be a problem for skin.
Maple Day Cream SPF 15
This is a good, in-part avobenzone-based sunscreen in a very standard, water- and Vaseline-based moisturizing base.
Add to Faves?
B. Kamins, Chemist At-A-Glance
Strengths: Several very good, water-soluble cleansers; some fragrance-free products; all sunscreens provide sufficient UVA protection; an excellent skin-lightening option; and moisturizer for sensitive skin.
Weaknesses: Expensive for mostly mediocre to good formulas, making this line an overall tough sell compared to competitors such as Jan Marini, Skinceuticals, or Peter Thomas Roth; mint, menthol, or a menthol derivative show up in several formulations; boring or problematic masks with an embarrassing price-to-performance ratio; has the right idea about including antioxidants but relies too heavily on jar packaging; disappointing anti-acne products containing a preponderance of irritating ingredients.
Formerly sold with the targeted tagline "Baby Boomer Skin Care," B. Kamins is now known as The Gentle Cosmeceutical. The new presentation is designed to communicate the impression that their products provide significant benefits without being harsh, while also appealing to a wider demographic (not just baby boomers) concerned with aging skin. Considering that the definition of cosmeceutical (a term the FDA does not regulate) is "a cosmetic that has or is purported to have medicinal properties," B. Kamins is stretching things a bit, because most of the products in this line are nothing more than standard, often overpriced cosmetics.
B. Kamins is Ben Kaminsky, a Canadian cosmetics chemist. While on a winter fishing trip in Northern Canada, he observed that certain Canadian maple trees (Acer saccharum) could survive and thrive in spite of being rooted in a cold, unforgiving climate. After 30 years of research, Kamins developed a trademarked method of extracting and purifying a biological compound from these maple trees. The result of this extraction is Bio-Maple™ Compound, and every product in his line contains this ingredient.
The company claims Bio-Maple™ Compound not only moisturizes skin and improves its smoothness but also enhances skin-cell turnover, while diminishing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The natural sugars, which help bind moisture to skin, and antioxidant components that occur in maple likely have benefit for skin, but there is no substantiated research proving the Bio-Maple™ Compound is better than countless other antioxidants. Further, you'd think after 30 years of research Kamins would have published or had at least one of his studies peer-reviewed for validation—but he didn't.
The practice of extracting a substance from a plant (be it root, flower, or tree) is often detailed and laborious, not to mention subject to climate and soil conditions. But it must be stressed that the factors that enable plants to thrive in sunlight and the elements while our skin and body functions can't take such abuse for very long are now the essence of antioxidant research. We still don't know which antioxidant is the most effective one. Moreover, what many researchers believe is true is that a cocktail of antioxidants, each with varying functions, may prove most beneficial for skin. Ongoing research continues to back up the connection between topically applied antioxidants and improvements in the creation of healthier skin that has a better ability to defend itself from the elements. Although the role of antioxidants in skin care is exciting and evolving, one major element Kamins' theory ignores is the fact that the biological processes of humans and plants are completely different. And if sugar maple (that's the garden name for the Acer saccharum tree) has such tremendous benefit as an antioxidant that it deserves standing on its own in skin-care products, only B. Kamins seems to know about it.
In contrast to the last time we reviewed this line, we are pleased to report that Kamins' has done away with all of his inferior sunscreens. None of them now lack sufficient UVA protection, and all are rated SPF 15 or greater, and that's good news.
You may have heard that this is a good line to shop if you have rosacea. However, the Kamins products meant to address this skin disorder fall short on most counts, either by containing irritants or using other ingredients that are not ideal for calming the symptoms of rosacea.

Pump up 'The Jam': The Jamboree Music Festival turns threeWritten by Mike Bauman | | email@example.com
Growing up in Northwest Ohio, music has been something 22-year-old Toledo native Cody Grup has been part of for quite some time now.
"I would say probably seventh grade I started going out to shows over at Headliners a lot and loved it," said Grup, who serves as a booking agent and talent buyer for Verso Group — the parent company for Silly Bandz owner Robert Croak that brings in several of the area's biggest concerts — and Go Ahead Booking. "I was never talented enough to play an instrument. I tried a couple of them. It was just awful. So I kind of found my own way with it."
Grup started booking shows at The Underground and The Masonic Temple when he was 15. The first show he remembers booking was The Devil Wears Prada at The Underground in April of 2005.
"I just kind of found The Devil Wears Prada on MySpace, thought they were an awesome band and was like, 'Hey, do you guys want to come play Toledo?' and sort of figured it out myself," said Grup, who cited Ali Aras from The Underground and Club Bijou and Bill Morgan from Vamps as two guys who helped him get his start. "I had some friends that were in local bands that played the show, and from then on I just kind of found regional bands — Cleveland, Columbus, Dayton — that I liked and would bring them here and pair them up with my friends' local bands and do it like that."
Now, the 2006 Whitmer grad is doing much bigger things in Toledo. Grup is one of the brains behind the Jamboree, a local music festival that is now in its third year and will take place April 14 and 15 at Headliners. Alternative Press named the Jamboree as one of its "15 Spring Festivals Worth Attending," one which drew approximately 2,500 attendees in each of its first two years in 2010 and 2011, according to Grup.
"Since I've been probably 18, I've had the idea to try to book, like, some kind of festival-type show in Toledo because there's not really anything like it in the area, especially in Toledo," Grup said.
After Grup's friend Brian Brown from Go Ahead Booking worked on the successful Bled Fest in Westland, Mich., in 2007, he asked Brown to help him create a music festival in Toledo and the pair started working on the Jamboree in 2009. The first installment of "The Jam" took place in 2010, featuring notables like the aforementioned The Devil Wears Prada, Whitechapel, Premonitions of War and We Came As Romans in an event that featured 35 bands in one day at Headliners.
"It went off extremely successful, so we decided to continue with it," Grup said.
Even though Grup said attendance didn't really grow for the Jamboree last year, they wanted to switch things up for 2012 and decided to make it a two-day festival. Day One of this year's Jamboree is headlined by the likes of We Came As Romans, Emmure, Born of Osiris and Woe, Is Me, while Day Two features The Black Dahlia Murder, Whitechapel, The Acacia Strain and Oceano.
And while Grup said that they wanted to expand beyond the hardcore/screamo genre and reach out to the death metal crowd with a group like The Black Dahlia Murder, he added that each day offers a good mix of bands to make it a unified event rather than two separate concerts.
"We definitely wanted to make the two days separate, but at the same time equal," Grup said of this year's Jamboree, which featured a total of 61 artists at press time for this article.
In addition to the national touring acts that will come into Toledo for the Jamboree, the event will also give local bands like Citizen, React, Measure the Redshift and a Violent Perfection a chance to gain more attention, especially with Alternative Press as an official sponsor of the festival this year.
"It's exciting and it's nerve-wracking because it's going to be one hell of a hectic day," Measure the Redshift guitarist Chad Schoen said. "Hopefully it will bring us a lot of exposure."
One example of the Jamboree helping provide a band with exposure that Grup cited was And Hell Followed With out of Detroit, who will be back this year for a reunion gig with the original lineup.
"Alex from Whitechapel worked for [The Artery Foundation] or he still does, and he saw them play at the first year of the Jamboree and made a phone call," Grup said of And Hell Followed With. "And the next day, they were with [The Artery Foundation] and went on to do some pretty cool tours and some cool sponsorships and stuff like that."
The Jamboree is something Grup wants to continue doing every year in Toledo and is already brainstorming for 2013.
"I personally would like to see a little bit more diversity in it," Grup said. "I like a lot of metal and hardcore [bands] and stuff like that, but I also like a little bit of just rock 'n' roll, and hip-hop and a little bit of everything. So that's something that is a possibility in the future."
- The Third Annual Jamboree Music Festival will take place on April 14 and 15 at Headliner's, located at 4500 N. Detroit Ave. For tickets and more information, visit www.thejamboreeohio.com.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Millions of smokers could be priced out of health insurance because of tobacco penalties in President Barack Obama's health care law, according to experts who are just now teasing out the potential impact of a little-noted provision in the massive legislation.
The Affordable Care Act – "Obamacare" to its detractors – allows health insurers to charge smokers buying individual policies up to 50 percent higher premiums starting next Jan. 1.
For a 55-year-old smoker, the penalty could reach nearly $4,250 a year. A 60-year-old could wind up paying nearly $5,100 on top of premiums.
Younger smokers could be charged lower penalties under rules proposed last fall by the Obama administration. But older smokers could face a heavy hit on their household budgets at a time in life when smoking-related illnesses tend to emerge.
Workers covered on the job would be able to avoid tobacco penalties by joining smoking cessation programs, because employer plans operate under different rules. But experts said that option is not guaranteed to smokers trying to purchase coverage individually.
Nearly one of every five U.S. adults smokes. That share is higher among lower-income people, who also are more likely to work in jobs that don't come with health insurance and would therefore depend on the new federal health care law. Smoking increases the risk of developing heart disease, lung problems and cancer, contributing to nearly 450,000 deaths a year.
Insurers won't be allowed to charge more under the overhaul for people who are overweight, or have a health condition like a bad back or a heart that skips beats – but they can charge more if a person smokes.
Starting next Jan. 1, the federal health care law will make it possible for people who can't get coverage now to buy private policies, providing tax credits to keep the premiums affordable. Although the law prohibits insurance companies from turning away the sick, the penalties for smokers could have the same effect in many cases, keeping out potentially costly patients.
"We don't want to create barriers for people to get health care coverage," said California state Assemblyman Richard Pan, who is working on a law in his state that would limit insurers' ability to charge smokers more. The federal law allows states to limit or change the smoking penalty.
"We want people who are smoking to get smoking cessation treatment," added Pan, a pediatrician who represents the Sacramento area.
Obama administration officials declined to be interviewed for this article, but a former consumer protection regulator for the government is raising questions.
"If you are an insurer and there is a group of smokers you don't want in your pool, the ones you really don't want are the ones who have been smoking for 20 or 30 years," said Karen Pollitz, an expert on individual health insurance markets with the nonpartisan Kaiser Family Foundation. "You would have the flexibility to discourage them."
Several provisions in the federal health care law work together to leave older smokers with a bleak set of financial options, said Pollitz, formerly deputy director of the Office of Consumer Support in the federal Health and Human Services Department.
First, the law allows insurers to charge older adults up to three times as much as their youngest customers.
Second, the law allows insurers to levy the full 50 percent penalty on older smokers while charging less to younger ones.
And finally, government tax credits that will be available to help pay premiums cannot be used to offset the cost of penalties for smokers.
Here's how the math would work:
Take a hypothetical 60-year-old smoker making $35,000 a year. Estimated premiums for coverage in the new private health insurance markets under Obama's law would total $10,172. That person would be eligible for a tax credit that brings the cost down to $3,325.
But the smoking penalty could add $5,086 to the cost. And since federal tax credits can't be used to offset the penalty, the smoker's total cost for health insurance would be $8,411, or 24 percent of income. That's considered unaffordable under the federal law. The numbers were estimated using the online Kaiser Health Reform Subsidy Calculator.
"The effect of the smoking (penalty) allowed under the law would be that lower-income smokers could not afford health insurance," said Richard Curtis, president of the Institute for Health Policy Solutions, a nonpartisan research group that called attention to the issue with a study about the potential impact in California.
In today's world, insurers can simply turn down a smoker. Under Obama's overhaul, would they actually charge the full 50 percent? After all, workplace anti-smoking programs that use penalties usually charge far less, maybe $75 or $100 a month.
Robert Laszewski, a consultant who previously worked in the insurance industry, says there's a good reason to charge the maximum.
"If you don't charge the 50 percent, your competitor is going to do it, and you are going to get a disproportionate share of the less-healthy older smokers," said Laszewski. "They are going to have to play defense."
