Changes sought for W.Va. health system
CHARLESTON -- Few states plow as much money into health care as West Virginia, but you wouldn't know it from the results, according to a study issued Sunday that urges major change in health services and the government department that helps provide them.
Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin ordered the audit, conducted by the consulting firm Public Works, which had issued a must-discussed review of state public schools previously.
"West Virginia is in the midst of a health care crisis," the report concluded. "These facts are not due to a lack of effort to address West Virginia's health care challenges."
The 116-page report details 78 recommendations for revamping the sprawling Department of Health and Human Resources at a potential savings of nearly $284 million over five years. Administration officials say they now want the department and the health care community at large to weigh in on the findings.
Despite West Virginia's massive spending -- it ranks 4th among states for public health care funding per person, and residents have the 10th-highest private health insurance premiums -- it has among the worst outcomes in the nation.
Only two states have a higher share of adults who are obese or have diabetes, while just one has more adult smokers, the audit's review of 2012 statistics found. Only five states see more residents die of heart disease. West Virginia ranks 49th for avoiding preventable accidents or ailments that land seniors in the hospital. For overall health outcomes last year, West Virginia ranked 48th among states.
The audit also noted that despite all the spending around 254,000 West Virginians -- or close to one in six residents -- reported not seeing a doctor in 2010 because of the cost. Private health insurance premiums, meanwhile, exceed median incomes for a quarter of the state's workforce after rising 62 percent between 2003 and 2011.
The report outlines a range of steps for health care providers to reduce unnecessary and even harmful services and procedures while improving preventive care, nutrition and physical fitness. But with nearly $4 billion annual budget and more than 5,700 full-time employees, Cabinet department's role in this system receives most of the audit's focus.
Finding some agencies overburdened and others underused, the audit recommends reorganizing most into two divisions each led by a deputy secretary while shutting down or combining several. The report also details how high turnover, hundreds of unfilled jobs and rising overtime costs combine to hamper the department's efforts.
Compared to a national average of 3.3 percent, department turnover is 30 percent, the audit said. With a cumbersome, months-long process for filling jobs, more than 600 positions remain vacant at any given time. Overtime spending grew from $5.2 million in 2010 to $7.1 million last year.
"West Virginia's health care agencies are largely focused on day-to-day operations and emergencies, with little capacity to collaborate on new efforts or the broader vision of improving health outcomes in West Virginia," the auditors found.
The Bureau of Medical Services, for instance, oversees the $3 billion Medicaid program but has only 62 employees -- 1.4 percent of the department's workforce to handle nearly 72 percent of its budget. The Bureau for Behavioral Health and Health Facilities accounts for 68 percent of the department's overtime, even though it receives less than 10 percent of its funding, the audit found.
The Bureau of Children and Families also has high overtime costs, while its child protective services workers have among the worst turnover rates. But the audit also found the caseloads of these workers "well within recommended guidelines," and suggests their $33,680 average salary is reasonable. It recommends that this agency cut 23 vacant caseworker positions along with 18 supervisor posts through attrition to save $2 million a year.
The audit also says this agency could provide some of the biggest savings, particularly by pursuing an estimated $23.4 million in available federal funds for foster care. It should also cancel its nearly $510,000-a-year contract for operating a toll-free abuse and neglect hotline, and assign it to more qualified staff, the report said.
Tomblin pursued at least one of the audit's recommendations during the just-completed legislative session, aimed at reducing Medicaid spending on driving patients to doctor's visits and other non-emergencies. But ambulance services, senior centers and others that now get that money helped kill that bill. But lawmakers did agree to nearly double the salary of the department's next secretary, from $95,000 a year to $175,000.

there is snow place like home!
This is such a fun time to be a teacher! It is this time of year that a billion little light bulbs go off in my students' heads and everything begins to *click*. I love it!
Recently, I've started encouraging my students to add more details to their writing. I feel like at the beginning of the year, they are getting acclimated and still figuring things out, but now they are ready!
To really help get them started on the "write" foot, I've created a 48 page long winter writing packet called "There's 'Snow' Place Like Home." This packet is loaded with *lots* of different winter writing prompts, graphic organizers, and fun crafts!
One of my favorite parts of the packet is this cute little penguin craft. Students can read fiction and non-fiction texts about penguins and then use the graphic organizers and writing prompts to write all about these cute little waddling animals!
Another one of favorite parts of this packet is the "There's 'Snow' Place Like Home" craft idea and writing activity. Students can reflect on why they love their home and then write all about it. They can also create their own house craft to add to a snow scene display.
All of these writing activities, plus *lots* more can be found in this winter writing packet!
This 48 Page Winter Writing Unit Includes:
-Winter Themed Graphic Organizers for Fiction and Non-Fiction Texts
-Winter Themed Writing Templates for December and January
-Penguin Craft and Correlating Writing Activities
-"There's 'Snow' Place Like Home" Craft Description and Writing Template (students write about why they love their home)
In Phonics, we are working on identifying Long "O" words, spelled "o" and "o_e". I made this fun little board game for my students to play. We played it last week with a Thanksgiving theme and they absolutely LOVE IT! They'll be excited to see the snow-theme now. Ha!
You can go grab it below for *FREE*! Just click on any of the images below to download!
Phew! If you've made it this far, give yourself a pat on the back! The first person who can tell me about their favorite winter activity wins the winter writing packet for free!
I hope you all had a tasty and thankful Thanksgiving!

Feasting On Inferences
Phew! I have been so busy lately, I almost forgot all about this little blog! It's been so fun reading all of the thankful thoughts my *sweet friends* are stuffed with. You ALL are so amazing, and I am so, so very thankful for all of you. If you haven't linked up yet, don't worry! It's not too late! Click here to link up.
My first graders have been been KNEE DEEP in making inferences lately. They've been learning SO much and having fun while doing so. How can that be?!?!
First, to get us ready to make inferences, we made a little inferencing anchor chart together.
Then, my students read a story (written by me) all about a family preparing for the big Thanksgiving feast.
Here's a little synopsis of the story (you can find the full story in my packet below):
Oh no! Mom needs Sage and Max to do some last minute shopping for the big Thanksgiving feast. But, when they arrive at the store, they discover that Mom accidentally gave them the recipe cards instead of the shopping list! If they can't figure out what items Mom needs, they're worried they will ruin the Thanksgiving feast.
After they read the story, they had to use their best inferencing skills in order to help Sage and Max get the items they need for their Thanksgiving dinner. Each pair got a set of recipe cards and WENT TO TOWN! They had to *REALLY* read each recipe card and pull out the clues in order to figure out what Mom wanted them to buy at the store.
After they used their prior knowledge and the clues from the text, they helped Sage and Max save Thanksgiving by creating a new and improved shopping list! Hooray!
If you're looking for a last minute activity this week (that is, of course, if you'll still be in school along with me!), go and grab this packet…
In this packet, you will find:
- lesson plan (with objective and procedures)
- "Last Minute Shopping" story that introduces the lesson
- four recipe cards that your students must read to make inferences
- "Making Inferences" recording sheets
- definition posters that explain what an "inference" is
- extension activities (Thanksgiving themed mini-stories that require students to make inferences)
Need a graphic organizer to help teach making inferences? Grab it below for free! Just click on the organizer to download.
You can find the "Feasting On Inferences" packet in my shop. Click on the link below!
The first person who can tell me their favorite Thanksgiving food can grab this packet for free. Don't forget to leave your e-mail address.

stuffed with thankful thoughts {linky}
Hi Friends! How's your November going? I always feel like November is the busiest time of year for me! American Education Week, writing report cards, and long parent conferences are some of the MANY things that make me feel like I might collapse and never get up. Ha! So, when Thanksgiving rolls around, I always feel EXTRA thankful for a little break to recuperate and spend some much needed time with family and friends! PHEW! Why don't we share what thankful thoughts were stuffed with? It'll help us ALL get through the next couple weeks.
1. This guy right here is my favorite person in the whole world! My boyfriend, Michael, is my biggest supporter. He's unbelievably patient and understanding. Such a sweet, sweet soul! The poor guy listens to hours and hours of stories about my students (haha!) and is always right by my side when I need him the most. I am SO THANKFUL for him!
2. I can't think of a more rewarding job than being a teacher! I am so blessed for my amazing school, colleagues, and students. They make my heart SO, SO, SO HAPPY! This little girl has become such a beautiful reader. I absolutely LOVE what I do!
3. I am so thankful for all of the amazing friendships I've made in this little blogging community. I have "met" some seriously TALENTED and phenomenal women because of this little blog. I hope someday soon we can ALL gather together for a bloggy meet up. I know I'd make some life-long friendships! One real-life friendship that I've made thanks to blogging is with my sweet friend, Tracy. I know I've talked about her before on here, but seriously...she is AMAZING! She has become of my nearest and dearest friends. LOVE HER!
4. My "Stuffed with Thankful Thoughts" list would not be complete without including my parents in the mix. How cute are they? My mom sent me this picture recently while they were on a much deserved little getaway to the Florida Keys. So adorable! They are both high school teachers, so I'm sure they DESPERATELY needed this vacation. I don't know how they do it! I just love them so much!
Get sharing!!!

Stuffed with Thankful Thoughts!
Hi, Friends!
I was looking back at some old pictures from when I student-taught in college and came across a picture of a gigantic leaf I had constructed out of cardboard. Isn't it so fun? I made this while I was student-teaching in kindergarten.
It was pretty easy to construct. I used a large piece of cardboard for the bottom. For the sides, I bent cardboard into the shape I wanted and then taped the bent pieces to the bottom. To make it more "fall-ish," I painted it yellow and green. Then, I filled it with hay, gourds, mini-pumpkins, and a scarecrow.
In the classroom, I placed it on the floor in a corner and let two students read and act out Thanksgiving stories inside of it. It was a FABULOUS little treat for them. Who says we can't have a little dramatic play here and there? Right? I may make another one similar to this for my little firsties this year. I know they'd LOVE ME FOREVER, ha!
The past two years of teaching first grade, I've had my students record a little video of themselves saying what they are thankful for. At the end of the video, we all come together and say "We're STUFFED with thankful thoughts!" We share the video during American Education Week and I e-mail it to the parents. The kids and parents LOVE it!
This year, I thought it would be fun to make a little craft that goes along with it. Students can assemble the craft, and then "stuff" their turkey with thankful thoughts by writing what they are thankful for. The writing pages goes behind the turkey to create a little booklet.
To get everyone into the Thanksgiving spirit, I have also created a few fun literacy and math centers for my kiddos to work on over the next few weeks. I've combined the craftivity and all of the activities into one big 60 page Thanksgiving packet.
In this packet, you will find:
-Thanksgiving craft templates and writing activity ("I'm Stuffed with Thankful Thoughts!")
-graphic organizers that compliment many different Thanksgiving texts
-literacy centers that focus on grammar, word building, and writing complete sentences
-math centers that focus on conducting surveys, addition and subtraction, and word problems
-Turkey Trot Math Hunt
- Tasty Bingo (addition and subtraction)
You can find it in my TPT shop for $5.00.
What thankful thoughts are you STUFFED with? The first person who leaves a comment with their e-mail address will get this packet for free!

Just how low can one man sink? Don Giovanni has a way with women, his way. But he will never repent, even when a spirit demands he do so. A study in contrasts, Mozart's sublime score belies the hero ...

RED JACKET – The reemergence of the King Coal Bowl will be this Saturday as Mingo Central (1-1) plays host to Westside at James H. "Buck" Harless Stadium.
The King Coal Bowl was previously hosted by the former Williamson High School during the weekend of the festival at the old Lefty Hamilton Park.
The two squads are neck and neck in the WVSSAC rankings, just outside of the top 16. So this game could mean a lot toward making the playoffs.
Mingo Central is coming off one of its biggest wins in the young history of the consolidated school. They knocked off River View (a consolidation of Big Creek- and Iaeger) last Friday at home 34-12.
Westside (2-1) is coming into the game after a win over Man. They trailed at the half 7-6, but a second half surge lifted them to a 44-20 win over the Hillbillies.
Class AA Westside (2-1) rolled up 330 yards rushing for the game, led by sophomore quarterback Justin Cogar, who had 168 yards and scored four touchdowns. Mike Mullins added another 118 yards on the ground. Cogar was also 3-for-8 passing for an additional 64 yards.
Mingo Central was led by senior all-purpose back Joe May, who rushed for 184 yards and four touchdowns against the Raiders. Young freshman quarterback Stevie Hammond is gaining experience each game and also scored a TD last Friday night for head coach Yogi Kinder and his staff.
The Miner's defense stepped up big, especially in the second half, shutting out the potent River View offense. They are led by Garth Simpkins and Drew Kirk. Newcomer Joe Hall has helped MCHS, along with several other players who continue to improve.
Westside is coached by Darren Thomas.

Arizona Diamondbacks
Diamondbacks' Adam Eaton learning lessons in a lost season
The 2012 Pacific Coast League Most Valuable Player, Adam Eaton, arrived at Salt River Fields last spring with a slew of expectations.
Just 23 major league games to his name, Eaton was to be the Arizona Diamondbacks' long-awaited table-setter, the spark-plug at the top of the order who would rile opposing pitchers with a pesky approach. The 24-year-old outfielder would live and die with the drag bunt, the stolen base, the opposite-field slap and the infield single.
At least that's the way the prophecy went. But it has not come to pass.
In just 64 games with the Diamondbacks this season, Eaton has a .255 batting average and a .301 on-base percentage. He has stolen just five bases, though he has only been caught stealing twice, and he has scored 39 runs.
Of course, Eaton's season was derailed by an injury to his throwing elbow midway through spring training -- an injury that manager Kirk Gibson described on Friday as a kind of awakening for the rookie.
"The injury probably helped him rethink maybe the way he does things," Gibson said prior to Friday's series-opener against the Washington Nationals.
Eaton, who is notorious for his intense, all-out style of play, mis-channeled his energy early in his career, according to Gibson.
"Sometimes when you're young and you've been successful, you feel a bit invincible, but nobody is invincible," the manager, who possessed a similar style of play as a big leaguer himself, explained.
In fact, Eaton's play, which bordered on kamikaze, was so disconcerting that the Diamondbacks feared injury for their ordained leadoff man prior to his spring training elbow strain.
Since finally joining the Diamondbacks' active roster back on July 9, just prior to the All-Star break, Eaton has been noticeably more measured in his play, though simultaneously underwhelming in his performance. In particular, the outfielder's last 23 games have been a far cry from the lofty expectations that were placed on him prior to the season.
Dating back to September 2, Eaton has a .221 batting average and just a .265 on-base percentage -- nowhere near a leadoff man's set of numbers.
Despite his shortcomings, however, Eaton's manager believes the experience he's gained and the lessons he's learned in 2013 is invaluable.
"He did get some good experience," said Gibson. "That was important. We knew it would be."
"I think he's learning every day, every day he plays," he went on.
When you're a 24-year-old rookie, there's always silver lining and there's always an old adage in the back pocket.
There's always next year.

Leaked Letter from Sony Reveals More Details About PlayStation Network Hack
We have had a lot of news over the past 23 days about the hack and closure of Sony's PlayStation Network, but there are still a lot of questions over what exactly happened. Sony said in its letter to Congress that the attack was a "very carefully planned, very professional, highly sophisticated criminal cyber attack". And it certainly has set Sony back on its heels, with the network still down, and Sony still struggling to clean up the mess the hack has caused, and losing the trust of its users. Now, a letter sent from Sony to publishers of the PlayStation Network and Qriocity yesterday has been leaked, and we have a few more details about what happened.

By Gerry J. GilmoreAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, April 16, 2007 The Defense Department will soon partner with private-sector hospitals in the Tampa, Fla., area to share electronic medical record-keeping expertise and technology.
The pilot program is part of President Bush's initiative for the U.S. medical community to adopt computerized records within a decade, Stephen L. Jones, principal deputy assistant secretary of defense for health affairs, said during a joint Pentagon Channel-American Forces Press Service interview April 13.
The partnership will also enable DoD to gain expertise using electronic medical records for its inpatient customers, Jones added, noting that the program should be up and running within a year.
The Armed Forces Health Longitudinal Technology Application system houses the clinical data for DoD's medical outpatients and can be accessed at 136 military treatment facilities, Jones said.
"The next big step is to develop an (electronic) inpatient record," Jones said. DoD is working with the Department of Veterans Affairs, he said, to establish an inpatient electronic medical record system that can be accessed by both organizations.
DoD's expertise with the AHLTA system will be shared with the Florida hospitals, Jones explained. These hospitals, in turn, will share their experiences using electronic record-keeping for inpatients.
Passwords, encryption and other computer-security tools will be employed to safeguard the personal medical information, Jones said.
The Defense Department already partners with the private-sector medical community, Jones pointed out, as many DoD beneficiaries obtain their medical care from commercial-sourced providers as part of the TRICARE program, the military's health maintenance organization system.
The Tampa area is considered ideal for the pilot program, Jones said, since there are about 700,000 beneficiaries who live full- or part-time in the area and access their care through military-run medical treatment facilities or TRICARE-contracted civilian clinics.
Speed and accuracy are two immediate advantages inherent in using electronic medical records over the old paper-based system, Jones said. Computerization enables medical records to be quickly transmitted anywhere in the world, he noted, and the indecipherable scrawls used by some doctors and pharmacists become moot.
Although servicemembers, their families and other beneficiaries will benefit through expanded use of electronic medical records, Jones pointed out that such a system is just one of many components required to provide quality, up-to-date medical care.
"I think electronic records are the way of the future," Jones said. "But, we still have to have well-qualified, well-trained professionals providing care."

Ranch Games!
It took awhile to get 'em filmed and ready to go, but the new PW Food Network shows are all ready to air. The new season that begins tomorrow was filmed in both October and December, and boy oh boy, did my skillets get tired.
My whisks did, too.
So did my back.
And so did…
Never mind. I'll stop now. I was getting ready to go through all my body parts that got tired during the filming of the new season, but we'd be here awhile and also, I don't think you probably want to hear about my body parts. So just know they got tired.
Even my uvula got tired!
Okay, as I said earlier…I'll stop now.
And anyway, we had a really fun time filming the shows. Tired coccyx and all.
The new season begins tomorrow with an episode called "Ranch Games." For a long, long time, Tim's family and our family have talked about having a big ranch-style competition, and one day last fall we decided to go for it.
Hilarity ensued.
The first event was a Calf Scramble.
I won't explain all the intricacies of the event here. All you really need to know is that it involves retrieving cute little bows from the cute little tails of several cute little (and very energetic) calves.
The next event was a delightfully bizarre combination of a horse race and an apple bobbing competition.
You have to see it to get the full effect…but let's just say it was the most heart-racing event of the day.
Goodness gracious. Whose idea was that?
(If you guessed Tim Drummond, you're absolutely right.)
We also had a series of gunny sack races, both traditional and three-legged. Marlboro Man, Tim, Missy, and I got involved in the latter, and I'm excited to report that my beloved's and my gunny sack ripped just as we were about to take the victory and my boot got tangled and Marlboro Man and I totally ate dirt.
But at least we did it together.
I laughed on camera, but my soul was actually crying.
My body wasn't hurt, but my pride sure was.
Actually my body was hurt. But I'm old, man.
Note that I did not just say that I'm an old man. There's a difference, you know.
The competition was friendly…but fierce!
We had to loan Josh to Tim's team, because Marlboro Man and I have procreated more than Tim and Missy have.
Sorry I said procreated.
Next came a roping contest, and it was a bitter fight to the death.
And then…well, here's what happened next.
We went back to the Lodge and feasted on a yummy meal of brisket, fried onion strings, and broccoli with cheese sauce.
At this point, the points were close to even.
There was only one event left.
A goat milking competition. Tim's friend Pat had swung by with a couple of his goats (and their babies, Heaven help us) and the whole Ranch Games would wind up coming down to this one contest.
Except the participants weren't the kids. Or Marlboro Man and Tim.
Or Josh.
It was all up to Missy and me.
I won't tell you who won. But I will tell you that my vast experience with breastfeeding helped me not completely embarrass myself.
(And who's actually holding that trophy? Hmmmm…it's kind of difficult to tell…)
In other news, my daughter made herself a new friend.
And Marlboro Man's case against us getting goats is getting weaker by the day.
Hope you enjoy the new show, guys! We had lots of fun filming it.
Even if it did make my coccyx hurt.
Here are the show times:

I am not a very good backer, I try all the time but nothing ever comes out right. BUT then I made your cookies from this episode and they were perfect, my husband is so excited!! thank you for the recipe!!
Karla N On Monday, January 28 at 6:29 pm
Baby calves are great and all but it sure looks to me like this little lady needs a baby goat or lamb or pet something she can hold in her arms and love on. It's written all over her! Hope MM has already lost that fight!
Patricia Calef On Monday, January 28 at 6:36 pm
I just came on the blog today to find that brisket recipe you made. I was salivating over that and the onion strings. Boy the games looked like fun. What's wrong with goats? Excellent source for yogurt.
Linda On Monday, January 28 at 7:06 pm
Loved the show…we love them all. What a blessing to the whole family ya'll are…
ps before you commit to goats, consider sheep…they are soooo cute, and not as destructive or Houdini-esque. Certain breeds are more worm resistant and do not require the deworming, making them even more enjoyable! We've had both…can you tell?
Donna W On Monday, January 28 at 8:47 pm
Goats are cute when they are babies. They're fun when they are adults, as long as you don't mind goats in your garden and goats on the tractor seat and goats on top of your cars. Oh yeah, and goats running out of every gate you open before you can say jack robinson. And goats eating your young fruit trees and killing them.
I think I'm done.
Cindy On Monday, January 28 at 10:23 pm
I really enjoyed the new show! I loved the ranch games segment. It was great to see you all having fun together. What a fun show it was to watch!
Nathalie Norris aka hoovesandfeathers On Monday, January 28 at 10:40 pm
Oh you have to "get your goat". They can be the most maddening and wonderful creatures.
I sure am loving the new shows. Then again I loved the old shows, too. Heck – I'm pretty much just an unabashed fan girl!! (sigh) I have no dignity, but I'm happy – so there.
'Looking forward to all the new shows!!
Debbie On Tuesday, January 29 at 10:29 am
What a fun episode!! Goat milking, that was the best part. ha! I think you should have won….pouring wasn't an accurate measurement.
My husband wants me to make that exact meal…the brisket looks delicious!
jo On Tuesday, January 29 at 10:53 am
get a goat. they are the GREATEST!!! you will never regret it!
Angela CPA Mom On Tuesday, January 29 at 12:05 pm
My hubby got me a system for the deaf at Christmas so this was one of the first shows I was able to watch in real time and hear the whole thing – Great show!!! I immediately printed out all the recipes too. That was the first time I've ever heard Ladd's voice too – I love my new headphones

You do realize that baby goats love to climb onto the roof of your SUV and pickup, don't you. (However, people who are short like me never do see the roof of their SUV.)

We had goats. The baby ones are so fun! My sister had 33 bottle babies one year. When they saw her coming, they all rushed towards her. It was so funny to watch! Bleat, bleat, bleat…..

Read Poems by
Jim Pemberton
I've heard of those who say they're "happy and gay."
Where are those who proclaim; "Jesus is the only Way?"
I've heard of many who discuss creation vs. evolution.
Where are those who proclaim Jesus is the solution?
I've heard of many who chose an "alternate lifestyle."
Where are those...who for Jesus... will go "the extra mile?"
There are those who say; "Jesus isn't real!"
Where are those who'll confess HIM
with a passion and a zeal?
There's so many who sit in their church's pew.
Where are those... Whom to Christ… Will say; 'I LOVE YOU!"
There's too many who are on their way to hell.
Where are those who truly love Jesus? Can you tell???
I know of a redeeming savior's mercy and grace.
His love has been extended to the human race.
Jesus speaks a loving call and merciful plea...
He says; "take up your cross and follow me!"
Jesus brings true gladness and overflowing joy!
This is freely offered to every man, woman, girl and boy!
NOW is the day of salvation & the accepted time!
Christ can change us! And renew our mind!
I know that very soon.. Jesus is coming again!
Where are those who desire to be cleansed within?
I know that an abundant life is what Jesus will freely give!
Where one can find eternal life! And a true meaning to live!

Srinagar returned to normalcy for a day as authorities lifted curfew and the separatists asked people to resume routine activities.
Shops and other businesses were open and public transport plied normally as security forces deployed to enforce curfew were withdrawn by the authorities.
Government offices, banks and post offices, however, remained closed owing to the public holiday on account of Gandhi Jayanti, Mahatma Gandhi's birth anniversary.
Hardline separatist leader Syed Ali Geelani amended his group's protest calendar on Saturday and asked people to resume normal life.
Geelani had called for a day's normalcy on Friday as per the protest calendar, but the authorities imposed strict curfew that day.
"Authorities imposed curfew on a normal day on Friday and refused people the respite they needed. So we have amended our protest calendar. Saturday would now be a normal day in the Valley," said a source close to the hardline leader.
A police official said: "There would be no curfew restrictions in Srinagar on Saturday. Curfew has also been lifted from other towns of the valley as well."
'For once Tom and Jerry agreed to a day's truce in the valley' is how the common Kashmiris perceived it.
"Thank god, the Tom and Jerry fights have ended at least for a day on Saturday," said Naseer Ahmad, bureau chief of a New Delhi based television news channel in Srinagar.
"Otherwise, both the authorities and the separatists have been ensuring that normalcy as perceived by either of them does not materialise so that the rival cannot claim to be in control here," he added.

Plains Makes $1 Billion SemGroup Bid Public After Rebuff
Oct. 24 (Bloomberg) -- Plains All American Pipeline LP is taking a $1 billion cash bid for SemGroup Corp. directly to the company's shareholders, after the board rejected its offer.
Plains, the owner of 16,000 miles (26,000 kilometers) of pipelines, disclosed the $24-a-share proposal in a letter today to SemGroup's management. The bid represents a 1.9 percent premium to SemGroup's Oct. 21 closing price and 13 percent to the average price during the last 20 trading days.
SemGroup's board "refused to engage in constructive discussions," Greg L. Armstrong, chairman and chief executive officer of Houston-based Plains, said a statement. Armstrong said in the letter that SemGroup's board had also rejected a March 2010 bid of $17 a share.
SemGroup's board rejected Plains's offer on Oct. 19 because it undervalues the company, Tulsa, Oklahoma-based SemGroup said in a statement.
"The proposal was opportunistic and not compelling as it fails to adequately reflect SemGroup's bright prospects for stockholder value creation," according to the statement. The board "is willing to consider any transaction that reflects the full and fair value of SemGroup's current business and future prospects."
Plains is proposing to pay a premium that is less than two other pipeline purchases announced this year. Kinder Morgan Inc. offered a 41 percent premium to buy El Paso Corp. for $21.1 billion on Oct. 16, according to Bloomberg data. Energy Transfer Equity LP agreed to pay a 48 percent premium to acquire Southern Union Co., after counteroffers by Williams Cos.
Shares Bounce
SemGroup rose 20 percent to close at $28.27 in New York, the largest gain since the company resumed trading last year. Before today, the shares had fallen 13 percent this year. Plains climbed 1.7 percent to $65.
SemGroup filed for bankruptcy protection in 2008 after $2.9 billion in trading losses. Tom Kivisto, the company's former chairman and CEO, settled a civil lawsuit with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission last week, agreeing to pay $225,000 in fines and forfeit more than $1.2 million in stock to resolve allegations that he misled investors.
The company, which emerged from bankruptcy in November 2009, owns 2,800 miles of pipelines and storage terminals that can hold 18.1 million barrels of fuel, according to its website. It had a net loss of $134.5 million in 2010.
"SemGroup's 2010 and 2011 results have consistently and materially failed to meet the performance metrics laid out in SemGroup's plan of reorganization," Armstrong wrote.
Raising Cash
Liz Barclay, a spokeswoman for SemGroup, didn't immediately respond to a phone call and e-mail seeking comment. Roy Lamoreaux, a spokesman for Plains, declined to comment beyond the news release.
SemGroup has proposed raising $181.2 million from selling shares in Rose Rock Midstream LP, a master-limited partnership it would form and control that would own oil pipeline and terminal assets in Oklahoma, Kansas and Colorado.
SemGroup announced an agreement on Aug. 31 to sell its natural-gas liquids business to NGL Energy Partners LP for about $276 million in cash and stock.
SemGroup said today that those two transactions, along with the construction of 1.95 million barrels of crude oil storage the company announced in March, will increase the company's value.
Evercore Partners Inc. is advising Plains on the transaction, while Vinson & Elkins LLP and Morris, Nichols, Arsht & Tunnell served as legal advisers, according to the letter.
Barclays Capital Inc. and LCT Capital Llc are advising SemGroup, according to the company's statement. Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz is providing legal advice.

CBS's long-running Sunday talk show Face the Nation, which began airing in 1954, will move to a full one-hour time slot on Sunday.
The inaugural episode will feature Vice President Joe Biden, who sat down with host Bob Schieffer on Thursday in Milwaukee, as well as GOP presidential candidates Newt Gingrich and Rep. Ron Paul.
Schieffer, who has hosted the show since 1991, lobbied for the longer format for years. He announced the change in December and ran a "test" show in January, broadcasting live from Florida for a full hour before the Florida primary.
Face the Nation airs at 10:30 a.m. eastern time, competing with NBC's Meet the Press.
"For 57 years, Face the Nation has covered the biggest stories and the most important newsmakers in American politics," Schieffer said in a release. "Starting Sunday, we'll bring you a full hour. It's about time!"

The great divide. Richard Gott on an unashamedly biased account of the US-Soviet stand-off
The Cold War
John Lewis Gaddis Allen Lane, the Penguin Press, 352pp, £20
The Cold War
John Lewis Gaddis Allen Lane, the Penguin Press, 352pp, £20
by Richard Gott Published
It was suggested over Christmas that Adolf Hitler gets too much attention in schools, and that history teaching might now move forward to the cold war. Such a notion seems eminently reasonable, and right on cue comes a book on the topic from an American historian who knows more than most. John Lewis Gaddis is a specialist who has published many large works on the cold war, and his publisher has persuaded him to write a concise guide to international history since 1945, designed for a generation not around at the time.
His book is a handy synthesis, yet it would be a mistake for it to be used as a textbook in British schools, because it is an unashamedly American and triumphalist version of the long US-Soviet quarrel that broke out after the Second World War. Few British historians would accept it un-critically, even with the carefully phrased puff from Peter Hennessy on the jacket.
No consensus exists today about the cold war, although the powerful revisionist school that existed in the US during the Vietnam war has been largely obliterated by the post-1989 euphoria. Few of those who lived through the whole of the cold war (you have to be over 60) have changed the opinions they formed at the time. Some thought the west, led by the US, was confronted by an expansionist Soviet state, held in check only by armed force and nuclear weapons. Others believed the exact opposite, arguing that an expansionist US, armed with nuclear weapons, was intent on rolling back the frontiers of the communist world.
A third group, to which I have long belonged, thought that the entire contest was a huge mistake, totally misconceived and possibly fabricated, both expensive and dangerous. So problematic is the topic that New Statesman readers, even today, can almost certainly be found in each category, sometimes holding at least two opinions at the same time.
The cold war took place over nearly half a century, from the Berlin Airlift, which began in April 1948, to the final extinction of the Soviet Union in December 1991. (Some might think, judging by the attitude of most western chancelleries and media outlets towards Vladimir Putin, that it continues to this day.) The Americans and the Russians fought each other, often at one remove, with every dirty weapon except the nuclear bomb. First presided over by Stalin and Harry Truman, and in effect concluded by Mikhail Gorbachev and Ronald Reagan, the end of their icy struggle looked very different from its early beginnings.
Gaddis tries to provide a continuous storyline that encompasses its many twists and turns, but in practice the cold war years were unified solely by the existence of a permanent nuclear threat, a promise to commit suicide that appeared to make conventional war between great states impossible. Today we tend to ignore the fact that this terrible menace is still there, although since the collapse of the Soviet Union no powerful country has felt able to contemplate even a verbal confrontation with the United States.
The first period of the cold war, the 13 years from the start of the Berlin Airlift to the building of the Berlin Wall in 1961, was largely dominated by the German Question, a hardy perennial of European history. The much-derided wall brought a measure of stability to the European scene, and many people in the west - strange now to recall - thoroughly approved of it. I remember Richard Crossman, when editor of this paper in the early 1970s, defending it vigorously to his staff of astonished young Trotskyists.
Berlin, a problem left over at the end of the Second World War, gets its fair share of attention in Gaddis's book, yet in retrospect, not much emphasised here, it was the Chinese revolution in 1949 that really caused the US to panic, and gave the cold war its atmosphere of deadly menace. For several years the Yellow Peril, another ancient formulation, grew more alarming than the German Question, and provoked an often neglected war in Korea.
The 1950s, the classic years of cold war mythology, gave the conflict a special hold on the popular imagination. In a decade replete with spies, the activities of the parallel secret services have been well chronicled in fiction, and it is appropriate that Len Deighton provides an encomium for Gaddis's book. More relevantly, the period also witnessed the twin episodes of internal suppression in each camp - Iran and Guatemala on the western side, East Germany and Hungary on the part of the Soviets - that so discredited the cold warriors' claims to moral superiority.
The second period, which lasted through the 1960s and 1970s, was dominated by the mayhem and havoc of wars in the third world that arose after the collapse of Europe's colonial empires. This particular cold war development, arguably of more historical consequence than the stale east-west conflict in Europe, gets little space in Gaddis's book, perhaps because it led to the crushing US defeat in Vietnam. As a result of that US disaster, which did not affect the peace and prosperity of western Europe, the Americans began to talk of detente and disarmament, of strategic arms limitations and human rights. Urged on by European social democrats, the global conflict settled into a cosy and manageable routine that continued to keep wars far from the European heartland.
Finally, in the 1980s, this apparent stability was shown to have been built on shaky foundations. When the US took up the Soviet challenge in Afghanistan, when the Hungarians and the Poles began to chart their separate paths towards a fresh settlement with Moscow, and when a new generation of nuclear weapons was deployed in Europe, the old verities began to collapse.
Gaddis makes much of the role of Pope John Paul II, a deus ex machina who threw his weight behind the emerging opposition forces in central Europe, but the real cause of Gorbachev's internal reforms that detonated the final crisis was the lamentable state of the Soviet economy, a subject to which Gaddis gives scant attention.
The Americans emerge from Gaddis's account smelling of roses, yet, in the wake of the US seizure of Iraq and the unfolding of a fresh imperial agenda, future historians may look less benignly on America's role in the cold war. They might well conclude that the Russians were right to be alarmed by American power, given that while Soviet forces had advanced a few hundred miles into central Europe in 1945, and stayed there until 1989, the Americans had leap- frogged over oceans to put their troops into western Europe and Japan - and have kept them there to this day.
French philosophers might argue that the cold war did not actually take place, yet under its imagined threat the US was able to extend its ideological and cultural control over western Europe, effectively undermining and eventually destroying the old leftist and working-class movements built up since the 19th century - the cold war's most lasting and pernicious legacy. Gaddis's book plays the old tunes well, but some readers may still find it less riveting than the story of the unfolding of the Third Reich. If history teachers want to hold the attention of their students, they will probably be justified in continuing with Hitler for a while longer.

An exhibition of photos by the award-winning British photographer, author, and documentary film-maker currently showing at the Canadian War Museum is a must-see.
The images comprising Eleven Women Facing War focus on the vulnerability as well as the resilience of women and children who find themselves alone. Their husbands, fathers, or other male protectors have either been killed, were miles away in one of numerous rebel gangs, or were fighting in various civil wars.
Danzinger, who was born in London and brought up in Monaco and Switzerland, was inspired by "Adventures of Tintin," the comic book series. He started his own travels at age 13, setting off alone for Paris. In 1984, disguised as an itinerant Muslim, he followed the Silk Route from Europe to Asia, journeying through Turkey, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and China.
His best-selling book "Danzinger's Travels" was published in 1988. It was followed by "Danzinger's Adventures" in 1993, and then several other books.
"These 11 women speak for the hundreds, if not thousands, and tens of thousands of other women around the world."
— Andrew Burtch, Curator
He has filmed more than 40 documentaries for the BBC, Channel 4, and the Discovery Channel, and won the Prix Italia for best television documentary about children abandoned in a mental asylum in Kabul.
In 2001, while Danzinger was working for the International Committee of the Red Cross, he travelled to Afghanistan, the Balkans, Israel, the Palestinian Territories, Sierra Leone, and Colombia to document the stories of 11 women and girls affected by war. His striking images of the women are shown, along with videos, in the War Museum exhibition.
From 2008 to 2011, the photographer tried to find each woman to see how her life had changed. He found all but one, and museum notes tell us how they have fared.
Resilience, that very special quality allowing one who has been knocked down by life's hardships to come back stronger, is the theme. As Dr. Andrew Burtch, curator of the exhibition said, "These 11 women speak for the hundreds, if not thousands, and tens of thousands of other women around the world."
One of the lucky ones
Adventurous by nature, the intrepid Danzinger was "off travelling" according to a media representative at the exhibition, so he was not at the opening on Feb. 8. However, Mariatu Kamara, a native of Sierra Leone and one of the women featured in the images, was present and gave a touching speech.
In 1999, when Kamara was 12 years old, rebels captured and tortured her, then chopped off her hands with a machete. Maimed and devastated, she spent three years in a refugee camp, begging on the streets of Freetown to survive.
Her resilient nature prompted her to join a camp theatre troupe, and with other young amputees, she helped raise awareness of her country's plight by performing and dancing. Danzinger photographed her in 2001.
"I am one of the lucky ones to be here," she said, adding, "Being part of this exhibition is life-changing. I am here for all those women."
Her book, "The Bite of the Mango," written with the help of Canadian journalist/author Susan McClelland, takes its name from the first food Kamara ate after she was attacked.
Kamara lives in Toronto. She became a social worker so she could help women and children and is now Canada's UNICEF Special Representative for Children in Armed Conflict.
She has a 10-month old daughter whom she named Amira, meaning "Princess." She said her daughter gives her hope for the future.
Eleven Women Facing War is on view in the Lieutenant-Colonel John McCrae Gallery of the Canadian War Museum until April 21.

I doubt Ubisoft would include those crazy monkey monsters from the first Far Cry, but just in case they do, how angry would you be?
I thought the latter half of Far Cry was just atrocious, what with it turning into Doom and/or Unreal, so I loved the departure from all that jazz in FC2. But, now that we're back on an island instead of Africa, I'm worried we might see a resurgence of those damned critters. Maybe the new gimmick here are those shrooms and "balls high" moments we keep seeing in previews and such.

iPhone 5 release date to be made official at September 7th Apple event?
As tension and speculation grows around the imminently expected iPhone 5 release date new reports have suggested Apple is to hold a product launch event on September 7th.
Fitting with the many iPhone 5 rumours which have suggested the eagerly awaited handset is to launch in September, the mooted event is expected to see the iPhone 5 release date confirmed alongside the arrival of the repeatedly leaked iPod Touch 3G, the launch of iOS 5 and a possible Apple HDTV unveiling.
Citing a reported "source in the know," Japanese tech site Kodawarisan has claimed that Apple's traditional autumn event will take place the week after IFA on September 7th. Previous autumn Apple events have been held on September 1st and twice on September 9th.
Latest reports have suggested that Apple will launch the iPhone 5 with a 1GHz dual-core processor and an 8-megapixel camera with 1080p Full HD video recording capabilities. A consumer poll, however, has revealed that the most wanted iPhone 5 features include a thinner handset and a longer battery life.
What features do you hope to see land on the iPhone 5 and when do you expect to see it? Let us know via the T3 Twitter and Facebook feeds.

With one senior prom down and three to go, Aiken teens are hitting the stores and calling for reservations in preparation for their big night.In categories such as formal wear, fine dining, flowers, accessories and transportation, young shoppers are hunting up the best supplies - and the best bargains.Tuxedos"People are renting a lot of tuxedos," said Lionel Smith Ltd. owner Van Smith. "Most people are renting instead of buying because their sizes change quickly at that age, and it's something they may never plan on wearing again. What the big things are - mainly it's the vests that go with the tux and some the bow ties."This year the vests and ties are hot in the vivid colors, such as pinks, blues, aquas and yellows, Smith said."Generally they try to match up with the girl's dress," he said.Orders for tuxes started to come in around mid-March, and the season will continue through a formal social dance on May 5, Smith said. Prices on tuxedo rentals range from $135 to $150, with an additional $25 for shoes, if necessary.Gowns"Long still prevails, but we've done more short gowns this year than usual," said Cheryl Allen, owner of Charlotte's Bridal. "Colors are very varied this year; there's not one trend, like last year, the big color was orange. We're seeing a lot of brights in general, not really pastels."Prices for formal gowns have gone up in the last year or two, and the price range on prom dresses can be from $300 to $650 for the big formal gowns. The shop did stock some of what Allen called "the snob lines" but chose the lowest-priced pieces from those lines."There are always some cutbacks, but I don't think there's that much difference in spending. Some people will go ahead and spend the bucks, because prom is a very special time," she said.DinnerThe Willcox Inn saw an influx of teens in formal wear before South Aiken High School's prom last weekend, according to general manager Tina McCarthy."We had several prom couples in for dinner, and we had a group of eight couples in the private dining room last weekend. We also had several couples here taking photographs, and some prom attendees came here in the days prior to prom for a manicure and pedicure or hair styling in our salon," she said.The hotel always recommends reservations for Friday and Saturday's dinner seatings due to high demand, even without a prom, according to McCarthy. Demand for the next several weekends is high, but at press time she did not think the dining room was fully booked up."I think we're known for good food, the ambience is quite lovely, and I think they enjoy that as they come in in their formal wear," she said.FlowersFloral Gallery owner Casey Stevens said pin-on corsages are out, and wristlets are in for prom this year."I don't think we've done a single pin-on yet," she said. "Turquoise is the new favorite color of all the girls this year. We've done a lot of spray roses and a lot of orchids, a lot of very colorful flowers. For the guys, they're liking the bow ties or colorful wire wraps around the stems of a boutonniere to add pizazz and to match the girls' dresses. It all ties in together."The shop has stocked up on orchid varieties, and Stevens said she has not seen shoppers cutting corners by resorting to less expensive flowers, such as carnations, much this prom season.TransportationS.C. Express general manager Jimmy Canady said reservations began coming in for the car service's two stretch Lincoln Town Cars and one stretch Hummer for prom nights months ago.The issues of concern to the service are parental consent - the teens who call cannot place a reservation unless S.C. Express speaks to the parents, and they sign off - and that the teens sign a Prom Promise with their parents.The Prom Promise covers alcohol and drug consumption, remaining fully in the vehicle while driving, damage to the interior and lewd behavior or disturbing the peace during their rides."The thing is, these kids are underage, and if the law gets broken, it's our driver who pays," Canady said. "If, say, one of the kids has illegal drugs in the car, and the police find it, it's the driver who'll be held responsible. So we make it clear we have a no-tolerance policy for those behaviors."Canady said prices aren't negotiable, but if a group of students is taking the ride, he encourages all of their parents to take on a share of the expense rather than leaving it to a single family."Transportation seems to be the last thing people preparing for prom will think of, and then it's too late. But the parents also know it's a once-in-a-lifetime thing for some of these kids," he said.Aiken High School's prom is Saturday. The Silver Bluff High School and North Augusta High School proms are May 5. The Wagener-Salley High School prom will be on May 19.Suzanne Stone is a general assignment reporter at the Aiken Standard.

Berwyn Heights and Greenbelt will partner with local environmental organizations to hold a Stormwater Solutions workshop on Saturday to teach residents how to decorate and install rain barrels and find out about Rain Check Rebate incentives.
The event will feature a series of presentations and activities about reducing polluted stormwater runoff, which washes from roofs, streets and other surfaces into nearby waterways.
Kristin Larson, a member of the Berwyn Heights Green Team and one of the event organizers, said around 50 community members have reserved tickets for the presentations, and she is expecting around 75 people to attend.
Larson said the event will be a practical way for residents to help improve water quality and reduce pollution.
"There is a lot of incentive right now in Maryland to reduce your environmental impact," she said. "One of them is the new rain check rebates in Prince George's County so this is an opportunity to learn about how you can purchase a rain barrel and receive your rebate. And it's fun."
Larson said she hopes Saturday's event will be informative and inspiring.
"I hope people come to the presentations and learn about what they can be doing on their property to clean waterways in the area," she said. "I hope that they actually take what they learn and turn that into action."
The Stormwater Solutions Workshop will take place from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Greenbelt Public Works Building, located at 555 Crescent Road in Greenbelt. Space is limited, but tickets are free and can be reserved at stormwatersolutions.eventbrite.com.

Families zoned for Knox County's new elementary school in the Northshore Town Center got to meet their new principal Monday evening.
Future students and parents of the new school met principal Susan Davis at West Valley Middle School. Davis previously served as principal at Cedar Bluff Elementary. She says she's excited about her new role.
"I'm so excited to meet the children as they have this opportunity to begin this brand new school, and what a wonderful opportunity. And it's excited to build a team of teachers and educators who are motivated to be there. It's just the most exciting opportunity," said Davis.
The new southwest elementary school will open in August.
Families affected by the re-zoning with rising fifth graders and their siblings can apply to stay at their current school. The deadline to request a grandfather transfer is next Monday, Feb. 18.

Things are starting to roll a little bit for Michigan and first-year coach Brady Hoke.
After a few months without a whole lot of news on the recruiting front, the Wolverines are starting to make some headway with the class of 2012. On Thursday, the Wolverines landed clearly their best recruit yet -- Scout.com four-star linebacker Kaleb Ringer out of Northmont (Clayton, Ohio).
Hoke, who is originally from the Dayton area in which Ringer lives, now has three recruits on board. His first two recruits committed in late March.
Ringer (6-0, 220 pounds) had offers from Cincinnati, Illinois, Iowa, Louisville, Syracuse and West Virginia. Ohio State was checking him out, but had not yet offered him a scholarship.
Even without an Ohio State offer on the table, it's still tough for an Ohio kid to pick Michigan.
"Of course you're going to get that stink-eye look," Ringer told the Dayton Daily News. "Like, what? You're going to Michigan? But my parents, family and friends were very supportive. That helps in the process."
Ringer is the nephew of Javon Ringer, who was a standout for Michigan State a few years ago at running back before being drafted by the Tennessee Titans of the NFL.

You have all this family history information. You should share it not only with today's generation, but also with those to come. And while scrapbooking is one creative way to tell a heritage story, you might also consider a written history. You don't have to be a professional writer or an English major either. This article will present ideas on how to write your family history story (then please consider using our bookbinding service!).First, there is no "e;formula"e; for writing a family history. There is no right or wrong way.There's only your way.So get the idea out of your head that you can't write it because you don't know how. Second, although researching your family can never end, don't feel like you have to have every scrap of information for ten generations before you start. Think smaller and focus on just a key family line going back a few generations. Lastly, make sure all the information you now have is in your computer genealogy software if you use one, or in your charts and files if you rely on a manual system. The idea is to have easy access to your information before you start to write.Think of telling your family history like you might any event from today; it's a mixture of facts, stories, and visuals. If you were to tell a friend about your vacation, you would include facts, like how long the drive was or the weather; stories, such as your child's excitement in seeing the ocean for the first time; and visuals like the photos you took. Do the same with your family history. Include:
How you mix the three categories is up to you. As a base case, it can be all facts: family group sheets, pedigree charts, and descendant trees. This can easily be done with any genealogy software program. But if you want to create a special heritage write-up, go beyond the minimum - add stories and visuals. Today's word processing and genealogy software provide many creative ways to do this. Here is a suggestion to get you thinking and planning. Let's assume you are starting with a great great grandfather and he had six children. You could organize it like this:
However you write your heritage, be sure to include a chapter on your experiences in researching the family. What emotions did you feel? Were there any discoveries that were startling or unexpected?
