In a commitment to meet the crucial need to improve science education for all students, the Fountain Valley School District has participated in the Beckman@Science program since the 1999-2000 school year. Prior to its involvement, FVSD teachers had limited materials to teach science. Very few science investigations took place in the classroom and science was a textbook program for most students. In the past ten years there has been a dramatic change. Beckman@Science has provided 96% of our teachers with professional development. Kits that were once stored at each school site and refurbished sporadically are now fully refurbished and delivered three times a year to every classroom teacher. Currently 169 credentialed teachers and 4,557 students are now engaging in active learning of science concepts and processes.
The Arnold & Mabel Beckman Foundation has given us a solid investment in the science education of our youth, educators, and community. The benefits of this program assure the following:
- increased student involvement
- multiple ways of learning
- sequential phases of cognition
- complete understanding and application of the scientific method
- active construction of meaningful knowledge
- collaborative professional development
- standards-based assessment
There are two key components of the Beckman@Science program that made it so successful for FVSD teachers and students: the training program and a system for refurbishing the kits. FVSD has teamed with Huntington Beach City School District and the Westminster School District to form a ScienceWorks Consortium for professional development and kit refurbishment. This has allowed us to provide on-going training for all K-6 teachers. Teachers are required to attend module training prior to being sent a kit for classroom instruction and there is on-going training for new teachers and teachers changing grade levels. The consortium shares a science coordinator, professional development, refurbishing warehouse, and refurbishing staff. This successful and innovative partnership has sustained our science reform efforts. We are very proud of the progress that has been made in science instruction during these nine years. During the first year of the program 22% of FVSD K-6 teachers were trained in two or more modules; to date 96% of our K-6 teachers have been trained in two or more modules. During the last school year 97% of FVSD K-6 teachers taught two or more science modules.
During the 2008-2009 school year ScienceWorks Consortium, Beckman@Science, and Orange Coast College hosted its 9th annual Community Science Night. ScienceWorks distributes the tickets for this event to their schools. Over 8,000 family members attended the event which showcased the science laboratories including astronomy, geology, marine science, anatomy, chemistry, physics, anthropology, allied health science, food and nutrition, computer science, and technology programs. Over 250 OCC students, 30 faculty members, and 25 ScienceWorks Consortium teachers presented hands-on activities. One of our goals is to have all of the Orange County Colleges host a Community Science Night. Golden West College will host one this year in September 2010. It is obvious that an interest in science is growing.
In our middle schools we see a dramatic increase in students' extracurricular activities linked directly to science. Every middle school in the Fountain Valley School District has after school science clubs. Sixth grade Masuda teacher Jeff Siemens reports, "Our students are having fun learning science and seeing its real life applications. The Beckman funded science investigations have provided the structure, and autonomy to inquire and experience their world first hand which is always the most effective way to learn." At Masuda Middle School over 100 students are active members of the Environmental Club. The students are choosing to spend their free time doing investigations, locating environmental issues to solve at Masuda, planting trees, and researching careers in science. At Fulton Middle School, The Planet Club is the busiest club on campus. There projects included spending an entire weekend participating in an Earth Day Cleanup at Huntington State Beach. We believe that this exemplifies just what Dr. Arnold Beckman wanted when he stated, "I would like to find a way to get young kids interested and excited about science."
The greatest challenge to the ScienceWorks Consortium is to meet the constant growing financial demands of this dynamic and innovative science program. Parents, teachers, administrators, community leaders and business partners have formed the ScienceWorks Advocacy Committee. They are currently developing a campaign to grow community awareness and establish science advocates in all sectors of our community. With this wonderful collaboration of the business, school, and family communities we hope to sustain this successful program. Gerald F. Wheeler, Executive Director of the National Science Teacher's Association stated, "A nation's ability to remain a leader relies on how well that nation educates its students in science and technology." Knowing this, we respectfully thank the Beckman Foundation for helping us establish this program and graciously ask for community support to continue our wonderful program.
The ScienceWorks Material Resource Center always appreciates assistance from our community volunteers. Whether you can donate a couple of hours a week or even a month, you decide! Click here for further details. Thank you from all of us here at ScienceWorks!

Media Reviews
Oh this book, Kate Kate and the Bizzy Girls, "I Have To Be Me," is just fantastic, with SO many great messages for young girls.The book focuses on Kate standing up for herself and what she believes is fashionable. Confident, full of spirit,expressive Kate doesn't cave to the pressures of being like everyone else.
Another feature of Kate Kate that I love are the activities at the end of the book to that enhance the educational value of the story. I have never seen a book like this. It starts out with a very simple section on entrepreneurs (perfect for the age of the book) followed by more about CoCo Chanel. Oh, but that is not all,there is an entrepreneurs workbook/handbook and Mom's page and a fashion sketch book. Mom's page includes a mother/daughter book club guide, tools for girls and articles and resources that address raising tweens Kate Kate, "I Have To Be Me," is the first in a series. I for one can't wait for more to follow. Nor can my girls.
This book is highly recommendable and as a mother, I encourage you to read it right along with your daughter. It's a beautiful story that will definitely show mom and daughters that you're never too old or too young to follow your dreams. Please consider reading more about this great author. She's amazing in every way fathomable (and again, so is this book). After reading this book myself, I cannot wait to read the next installments in this great series. "I Have To Be Me" is an exceptional buy for an additional gift (stocking stuffer) this holiday season!
from blogfully mom holiday gift guide http://blogfully.net/-brand-new-tween-series/
Having always dressed different - even when I was Kate's age - I loved that this book pointed out that
you could be different! I immediately thought of how cool it would have been to have this book as a kid. Flipping through it as an adult with that frame of mind, I thought it was the perfect introduction to little girls who might also want to be a fashion designer. It really has a wonderful message. If you know of a budding fashion designer about ages 5 to 10, this is definitely a great little gift this holiday season.

I want my daughter to be introduced to various aspects of life that will help teach her to be unique, true to herself and confident.

[REVIEW] This is a wonderful new book series for young tweens [ages 6-10]. This will be our next mother-daughter Book Club pick. It was a fun, charming,and an easy read that kept my daughter engaged and entertained.
Kate Kate and The Bizzy Girls: I Have To Be Me is a good story for girls, sending a message of confidence. I loved the fact that it focused on being confident even when others may not think your ideas are 'cool', or think you're too different. After the story part of the book, there is a section with great educational and fun value. A short handbook on getting started as an entrepreneur (very simple and age appropriate), AND there's super cool fashion sketch pages as well. Both my girls have really enjoyed sketching out their fashion ideas and sharing them with each other. Snag your own copy of Kate Kate and The Bizzy Girls: I know Kylie can't wait to see the next book in the Kate Kate The Fashion Plate series!

Kate is an aspiring fashion designer who lives in New York with her mom and two adorable dogs. Kate and her friends have little businesses and big dreams.

Now Kate is big trouble.. what will happen to Kate's dreams of being a fashion designer?

Event Announcements
Event announcements are an essential tool for any company and Kingdom Business is not different. Communication is key in helping a business to thrive. Without proper notification, staff and clients will not be well-informed. Important official events are often an effective marketing tool, promoting a product or service and providing exposure for the Kingdom Business. It means finding a way to reach the general populace as well as employees and business partners when an important event is in the making. With the proper attention to event announcements, official gathering should go off without a hitch.
Consider the impact that a grand opening has for a business or the introduction of a premiere product. There may be a promotional event that will bring in excellent returns and spread the word like wild fire about business. Event announcements truly are a marketing tool and often promote public relations as well. They make sure that everyone is in the know about the latest developments. Announcements may be a way to bring staff and clients together to build the reputation of the company. Therefore, it is important to focus on this aspect of the business in order to be successful.
Kingdom Business knows the importance of finding a way to share official news through a variety of methods. Advertisements in the paper and in public postings, e-mails and direct mailing are all viable alternatives for getting a message out where it belongs. When all concerned parties are well-informed, that means running a good business.

Below is the poem entitled I spit truth which was written by poet
Nicole. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
Sabina Nicole
The totality
Of our reality
Rests on a loss of morality
More and more I see the shame
Every partner points the blame
Accountability leaves the brain
While innocent youth are going insane
Who will put a stop to this endless war?
Our family unit needs to be restored
Who will stand up and say it's enough
The counterfeit lie that they have to be tough
Searching for love in all the wrong places
Can't fill that void with different faces
Selfish pursuits and hopeless endeavors
Ultimately leaves ones soul lost in forever
The vanity… is insanity
Its society's physical profanity
When will our hearts melt once more?
When will we love what we were made for?
We swore we wouldn't repeat our parent's mistakes
And now our neighborhoods are filled with a bunch of
That make big mistakes
Not man enough, to own up, get healed and be right
Obsessions have taken over righteous appetites
The quick-fix seems to be the common way
If we humbled ourselves and repentantly prayed
The voids would subside
We would not have to hide
And Gods light would transform
Every self-inflicted storm.

I just have one question, what program are you currently working with?
RE: SLE (Samie) Graphics - teamnoelftw. - 02-11-2012 02:08 PM
I think it might be paint, mostly. Doesn't look professional like photoshop is.
RE: SLE (Samie) Graphics - SLE - 02-11-2012 03:37 PM
I use a program called photofiltre I dont have something as good as photoshop because photoshop is just too expensive. you can download photofiltre for free online thats what I use and I work hard on them. please check back every once in a while because I will be adding more new graphics when I make them.
RE: SLE (Samie) Graphics - michelle. - 02-11-2012 06:41 PM
Some other people use that, too. I heard it's got some nice features.
And I know Photoshop is normally pretty expensive, but there are ways to get discounts or download it for free online.
But I do have to say, you do a pretty nice job with what you have.
RE: The Official Share Your Graphics Thread - michelle. - 02-11-2012 09:05 PM
Some new graphics I just made today.

aww, archie. <3
RE: SLE (Samie) Graphics - SLE - 02-12-2012 09:52 AM
well thanks I'm glad you think there good. I have been working on graphics for about 2 to 3 years now. when I first started I sucked but I kept working at it and now I like my work. I like the program that I use so I will probably just keep using this one.
RE: SLE (Samie) Graphics - michelle. - 02-12-2012 10:22 AM
You're welcome. (:
Have you always used the same program? (I'm assuming so.)
That's probably what I should have done, because when I first started I was using Corel Paint Shop Pro X, which I actually went out and bought.
Then a couple months later, I got Photoshop, so I had to relearn everything lol. However, I do like Photoshop a whole lot better so I guess it was worth it in the end.
And if you ever do change your mind and decide you want to try something new, just let me know. I'd be willing to help you in any way possible.

Rats, Lice and History
by Hans Zinsser
Dates Covered: -
Our Take
If you only buy one book from this site, buy this one -- one of our most popular offerings. Written at the turn of the century, it hasn't become a whit less interesting or funny. Hans Zinsser just goes nutty, rambling about rats, typhus, the Roman Empire, lice, and everything. You can't read it in one sitting, because you'll have to keep taking breaks to ice down your stomach -- it's a gutbuster. Not in a large men falling down kind of way, but in a dry Victorian sort of way. Even better because you learn so much - this book is a classic microbiology textbook to boot. Our favorite foonote was associated with a word I'd never heard -- it said, "If the reader does not know the meaning of this word, that is unfortunate."

Former Astros' farmhand named Hooks manager for 2010
Clements was drafted by Houston in 1980
CORPUS CHRISTI - A shuffle in the Houston Astros organization has resulted in a managerial change for the Hooks.
Wes Clements, the skipper at high-A Lancaster last season, was named Corpus Christi's manager for the 2010 Texas League season on Monday.
Clements replaces Luis Pujols, who was not retained after guiding the Hooks to last-place finishes in each of his two seasons as manager.
Clements, a former Astros minor leaguer, will be part of a revamped staff. Mark Bailey, the Astros' bullpen coach for the past eight seasons, will serve as hitting coach. He replaces Keith Bodie, who was promoted to Class AAA Round Rock.
Meanwhile, pitching coach Stan Boroski will be back for his fourth season, while Jamey Snodgrass, the only trainer in franchise history, also returns.
"I'm really thrilled about the staff," Clements said. "It should be fun and I hear nothing but great things about the ballpark and everybody in Corpus. And I hear there's good golf," Clements' Hooks assignment won't be his first in Class AA, as he was the hitting coach for the Chicago White Sox's Birmingham affiliate in the Southern League during the 2008 season, and served as Arkansas' hitting coach in 2002 in the Texas League.
Clements' Lancaster squad finished 56-84 last season, with the JetHawks' record the worst in the California League. But with the key players on that Lancaster team, notably outfielder Jon Gaston and catcher Koby Clemens, expected to be with the Hooks next spring, Clements was moved up a level. The Astros also promoted their rookie-league and low-A managers from last season.
"I think that's a big part of the thought process behind giving Wes the opportunity," Astros farm director Ricky Bennett said of Clements' familiarity with the players.
"Obviously, he has a relationship from last year and they can go into the 2010 season with a comfort level in knowing what Wes brings as a manager and use that to their advantage as they get a chance to get adjusted at the Double-A level. He's a gamer and I think he's going to bring a lot to our organization."
Clements also said he wasn't fazed by pundits who've ranked the Astros' minor-league talent as the worst in baseball.
"I don't look at things as what we don't have," Clements said. "I look at what we do have and always look at the positive of the scenario rather than the negative. I think that's just for other people's interpretation outside the organization to come up with a label or characterization for our organization."
And when the Hooks take the field, it'll be with a self-described "old-school baseball guy" at the controls.
"I care about the players and hopefully they see that — I believe they do," Clements said. "I want the game played correctly, from fundamentals all the way through, and I want the game respected.
"You won't see any of our hitters hitting home run and (showboating). You won't see them flipping bats. You'll seem them running around the bases. Respect the game, respect the opponents and appreciate the fans."
Pujols, who is working as a bench coach for Leones del Escogido in the Dominican Winter League, couldn't be reached for comment. The former Astros catcher will not be back in any capacity with the organization, Bennett said.
"I've known Luis in my time here and also in Detroit and anytime you have to make a coaching change, they're all difficult," Bennett said. "But we had to look out for the best interests of the organization."

http://www.sacbee.com/749/story/673762.htmlLock him up and put him a bread, water, and cheese diet.America's favorite cartoon mouse has joined Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan in the pantheon of celebrity DUI arrests, Sacramento County Sheriff's Department arrest records show.
On Jan. 24 within the span of an hour, the Sacramento County Sheriff's Department arrested Mickey Mouse twice on charges of driving under the influence and once for driving on a revoked license, according to records.
Sheriff's Department spokesman Sgt. Tim Curran was surprised to hear of the arrest.
"I don't know how that got in there," he said. "When trainees learn to use our system, they put that (name) in. ... It's one of the names we can use without getting in trouble."
In the arrest log, Mouse is described as a 47-year-old African American man standing 5-feet, 9-inches and weighing 190 pounds.
Mickey Mouse is also listed a resident of Anaheim and is employed as a bartender, according to arrest records.
Jail records indicate Mouse also goes by the aliases "Buzz Lightyear" and "Donnie Duck" and was arrested on felony drunk driving charges in 2005.
And he calls himself a role model....
The next headline probably reads "Mickey Makes 'Promises'"
Ha! That's too funny..."It's one of the names we can use without getting in trouble." Not anymore!!

Christmas with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir Featuring Alfie Boe and tom Brokaw
Alfie Boe is perhaps best known to American audiences for his performance as Jean Valjean at the Les Misérables 25th anniversary concerts in Londons O2 Arena that were broadcast over PBS television. He is a celebrated British tenor who has years of formal opera training at such storied British institutions as The Royal College of Music and the National Opera Studio. His talents landed him on Broadway, where he was the lead in a new staging of La Bohème, for which he won a Tony. He has toured extensively throughout the United States with a 17-city U.S. tour. He has released a number of top-selling albums, the latest being Alfie, a collection of timeless pop songs and musical theater favorites. Boe has been honored with such prestigious prizes as the Clonter Opera Prize, the John Christie Award, the Silver Clef for Classical Music, and the Tony Award for excellence in Broadway Theater. One of the most popular news personalities in the United States, Tom Brokaw is perhaps best known for being the face and voice of NBC Nightly News, which he anchored for more than two decades. In fact, Brokaw has spent his entire distinguished journalism career with NBC News, beginning in 1966 in Los Angeles with KNBC TV. From there, he went to Washington as the White House correspondent and then to the Today Show, followed by his appointment as anchor and managing editor of NBC Nightly News with Tom Brokaw. Mr. Brokaw is no stranger to Salt Lake City or the Choir, having been here in 2002 for the Olympics and again in 2011 to record 9/11: Rising Above, a Music and the Spoken Word special broadcast commemorating the 10th anniversary of the events of September 11, 2001. (It was very soon after that successful collaboration that the Choir extended the invitation to Mr. Brokaw to return for the 2012 Christmas concerts.) In 1998, Brokaw published his first book, The Greatest Generation. His dedication to the field of journalism has earned him every major honor in his field, including th

Grid in a Grid (Friends of AW) with Ajax
I'm using the example grid in a grid example from
I want to use ajax, so when you click on the + to expand the row, use ajax to call the server and retrieve the list and populate the grid in the row.
When I use xmlHttp.open("GET", url,false); it works good in IE because when u set it to false it waits till all the data is sent before continuing.
The problem is that it doesn't work in firefox ( the false ) and only works as xmlHttp.open("GET", url,true);
When I set this to xmlHttp.open("GET", url,true); my xmlHttp.readyState is only 2 or 3 in the callbackback method (not all data is sent) and when I expand the row I don't get any of the data.
Does anyone have any ideas how to handle this. The only think i can think is check the browser type and if IE set the open to false and in Firefox call settimeout to refresh the grid every .5 seconds after the row has been expanded.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

JOHNSONBURG – An additional charge of theft by unlawful taking, a misdemeanor of the first degree, has been filed against a Ridgway woman already charged with embezzling insurance monies following a fire at her home.
The affidavit alleges that Nancy Jean Bodien, 36, of 45 Fremont Ave. in Ridgway, took into her possession a laptop computer belonging to the WDDH radio station following her resignation from the station on May 29, 2012.
The Borough of Ridgway will work to improve its emergency response plans with the Ridgway Fire Department in response to the brutal storm that swept through the area Thursday afternoon, July 26.
Ridgway Borough Council member Rich Parrish detailed the recommendations of the Fire, Police, Property and Equipment Committee during Monday night's regular council meeting.
According to the report, borough manager Martin Schuller reviewed the past storm damage of the fallen trees on the borough streets and alleys with committee members.
Backed by a 35 from medalist Josh Roselli, Ridgway stretched their early undefeated streak to 2-0 with a 24-stroke victory Monday against visiting DuBois Central Catholic at Laurel Mill Golf Course.
Roselli was complemented by a trio of 40s fired by teammates Mitchell Gilmore, Josh Mitchell, and Jesse Reynolds. T.J. Schlimm capped off the scoring with a 41 for a team total 196.
Matt Aiello and Mitchell Stark also were on the course and fired 41, followed by Jake Klawuhn with a 44.
Many Ridgway residents have been taking notice and voicing their concerns over unsightly, light gray, silken webs in many of the trees within the borough.
The fall webworm, Hyphantria cunea [Drury], got off to an early start building its impressive silk tents on the ends of limbs and sometimes enclosing entire branches.
Ridgway Borough Manager Martin Schuller says despite the recent surge residents need not be concerned for the health of the trees.
At the most recent meeting of the Elk County Gas Task Force, Compliance Assistance Specialist Mark F. Harmon of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's (OSHA) Erie office gave a presentation on the organization's role and recent activities.
"We regulate workplace safety," said Harmon of OSHA's chief role.
Compliance Assistance Specialist Mark F. Harmon of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's (OSHA) Erie office recently explained the organization's jurisdiction and procedures to members of the Elk County Gas Task Force.
"OSHA is an agency within the Department of Labor. We have the responsibility, we cover workplace safety. The first thing that we would have to establish is that we have a company and we have an employee working for that company. We're concerned about the employee's safety," Harmon said.
ST. MARYS – During Friday's Elk County Farm Bureau tour, numerous legislative issues were discussed ranging from state to national matters.
State Representative Matt Gabler (R-Elk/Clearfield) emphasized the importance of organizations like the Farm Bureau, which provides subject matter experts in each industry, in order to keep legislators informed of different developments taking place.
Members of the Ridgway Elks Lodge No. 872 are organizing a steak fry event to benefit the Ridgway YMCA.
The event is scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 1 from 5 p.m. to 1 a.m. For $15 apiece, each patron will receive one 12 oz. to 14 oz. Delmonico steak, baked potato, vegetable, salad, roll, and dessert. The food will be sold from 5-9 p.m. with the band King Thaddeus performing from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m.
According to J.R. Geitner, general manager at the lodge, there will be a maximum of 200 tickets sold. They are available at the YMCA, the lodge, and the Welcome Center in Ridgway.
Following the Ridgway Area School District Board of Directors' approval to place a referendum question on the ballot of the November general election opting to increase the earned income tax in order to eliminate the occupation assessment, many taxpayers are asking themselves which way to vote.
On Tuesday, Aug. 7, the board approved a referendum designed to repeal its existing occupation tax and replace the lost revenue by increasing the existing earned income tax by .4 percent.
ST. MARYS – Members of the Crystal Fire Department were called out Thursday afternoon at 3:30 p.m. for a reported structure fire at 330 Charles St.
Upon arrival, firefighters found the first floor fully involved in fire. Firefighters established a water supply and knocked the fire down. They spent a considerable amount of time working on hot spots.
There was heavy fire, heat and smoke damage to the first floor, moderate heat and smoke damage to the second floor and moderate smoke damage to the basement.
There were no injuries.
The cause of the fire was attributed to unattended cooking.

Miami-Dade County Public Schools will compete for the nation's top urban education award — for the fifth time.
Former Silicon Valley CEO Ben Nelson has two years and $25 million to transform higher education.
School district officials often agonize over how to teach students with severe disabilities. They can pay for the students to attend private schools, where pupils receive more attention in an environment tailored to their needs. Or they can educate the students in public schools, encouraging interaction with peers who aren't disabled.
The Arizona law that prohibits school districts from teaching classes, like the Mexican American Studies classes taught at Tucson Unified School District, says schools can't teach courses designed "primarily for pupils of a particular ethnic group."

About Me Advanced
Amazing bindings. They fit great on my boots (Vans) and they make carving and stopping insanely easy. They are slightly heavy but that is a minimal drawback for how good they are. I would recommend them to anyone, from beginner to expert.

Don't Bother
By Mac
from Beverly, MA
It was difficult to get on to the board as there was a lot of adjustments to make and the actual baseplate is beneath a piece of foam. This made it difficult to tighten up the baseplate and as a result, my binding was often loose and actually several times, popped off the board while i was riding. This product definitely looks the part, but definitely marks the last time i invest in a pair of Rome 390s. It may have just been an isolated incident, but i recommend you seer clear.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Solid but fairly soft flex...
By Freerider53

The bindings are good looking and easily adjusted, just a little softer flexing than I'd like.

Tip of the Week – Make Your Halloween Costume This Year, Don't Buy It
Store bought costumes are often full of synthetic materials that are totally NOT eco-friendly, and most store-bought costumes are in general a wear-once-then-throw away affair adding to our overflowing landfills. So, I suggest that you make your own Halloween costume this October from stuff you already have around the house.
Not only will your costume be the most unique on your block, it will be also be green.
And we all know that the coolest costumes can't be bought anyway.

What 2 Watch: HHS takes road to Beckley; Midland home
HUNTINGTON — As high school football teams get into the second half of the season, the focus begins to shift toward the playoffs.
With several Tri-State teams positioning for the playoffs each game becomes critical toward reaching that goal.
West Virginia Class AAA top-rated Cabell Midland and fourth-rated Huntington High are in action Friday along with the annual Ohio rivalry contest of Chesapeake at Fairland and a pivotal West Virginia Class AA matchup of Wayne at Scott.
Following is a look at some games:
Huntington High (4-1)
at Woodrow Wilson (3-2)
When: 7:30 p.m., Friday
Where: Van Meter Stadium
What to watch -- Huntington High: The Highlanders are coming off a bye week following an emotional loss to Cabell Midland two weeks ago. If they come out flat, they will be in trouble. Van Meter Stadium is a hard place to win. Woodrow Wilson: Quarterback Andrew Johnson is one of the most under-appreciated athletes in the state.
Winfield (2-4) at
Cabell Midland (6-0)
When: 7:30 p.m., Friday
Where: Knights Stadium
Radio: WCMI 92.7-FM, 98.5-FM The Planet
What to watch -- Winfield: The Generals have lost two straight and need a win to keep playoff hopes alive. Cabell Midland: Coming off a record-setting performance, running back David Gaydosz gets to face his former team. Think he'll be excited?
Spring Valley (3-2) at
George Washington (4-1)
When: 7:30 p.m., Friday
Where: Patriots Field
Radio: WFGH 90.7-FM
On the web: www.wfghfm.com
What to watch -- Spring Valley: Elijah Wellman has had some monster games this year. He'll have to play his best on both sides to keep the Timberwolves in it. George Washington: Running back Ryan Switzer is hands down the best skill player and most dangerous player in the state, but the key for the Patriots is two-way standout Dustin Crouser.
Wayne (5-0)
at Scott (6-0)
When: 7:30 p.m., Friday
Where: Skyhawks Stadium
On the web: www.wfghfm.com
What to watch -- Wayne: The Pioneers have averaged nearly 50 points a game in the first half this season, but the starters haven't been forced to play a full four quarters yet. Does that hurt the team in this one? Scott: The Skyhawks' offense has produced nearly 37 points a game, but can the team produce enough points to stay with the Pioneers?
Chesapeake (2-4)
at Fairland (3-3)
When: 7:30 p.m., Friday
Where: Dragons Stadium
What to watch -- Chesapeake: The 2012 road show continues for the Panthers, who would love nothing more than to get a win on their rivals' turf. Fairland: After losing three straight, the Dragons got back on track with a win over South Point last week.
Bishop Watterson (3-3)
at Ironton (5-1)
When: 7:30 p.m., Friday
Where: Tanks Memorial Stadium
Radio: WIRO 1230-AM, WTCR 1420-AM
What to watch -- Bishop Watterson: The alma mater of former Herald-Dispatch sports writer Andrew Ramspacher is a solid team that has faced some of Ohio's best in the early part of the season. Ironton: Coming off their first loss against Johnson Central, the Fighting Tigers will face a staunch test from a strong defense this week.

Grease fire damages kitchen
Dec. 25, 2013 @ 02:15 AM
A pan of grease that was left on a stove at the home of Harold and Rita Yelton, Bradley Road in Ellenboro, caught fire Tuesday afternoon and did significant damage to the kitchen and attic. Firefighters from Bostic, Ellenboro and Forest City responded and upon arrival, the house was filled with smoke and the fire was "rolling off the ceiling" said an Ellenboro firefighter. Mrs. Yelton said she was starting her Christmas cooking and left a pan of grease on the stove. The couple's grandson, a son, his friend and two small children and the family dog, Mollie, were at home. No one was injured and Mrs. Yelton was able to get a few of the Christmas gifts out of the house. The house was insured. The family is displaced temporarily.

That "Mad Men" is the best thing on TV right now might be self-evident to the millions of crazed fans who will don fedoras and sweater sets and swig Scotch and gin at their viewing parties Sunday night, but it was anything but obvious to the numerous TV executives who passed on the project in the years before it found a home at AMC.
Creator Matthew Weiner's vision might have lingered in limbo forever had it not been for Christina Wayne, AMC's former head of original programming, who saw the potential in it that the others had missed. I chatted with Wayne, now president of Cineflix Studios, about the "Mad Men" phenomenon and her new passion project.
Obviously you thought Mad Men had the potential to be a hit, or you wouldn't have bought it. But did you think it would be this kind of hit, with the dress-up parties and the Banana Republic line and the Newsweek cover and so on?
I did, because I only go into making shows that I think are going to be the best show on TV. How's that for the most arrogant quote you've ever gotten?
I really did, though. I read it and thought, This could be something that no one's ever seen before on TV. I was hopeful that it was going to resonate on a deep emotional level because the characters were so well drawn.
I had tried to option "Revolutionary Road" years before it was made into a movie. When I read "Mad Men," I thought, Wow, this is exactly how you can do similar territory to 'Revolutionary Road' and do it every week.
Before "Mad Men," HBO practically had a monopoly on that sort of movie-quality prestige TV. Was there a part of you that thought, If they passed on it, they must know something I don't?
I actually didn't know that they'd passed on it. That didn't come out until later. All I knew was that the script had been around for eight years. What I was told was that pretty much everyone had passed on it.
So what are you working on now that you're making because you think it's going to be the best thing on TV?
It's called "Copper." It's essentially a project I started developing in 2005, and when I left AMC I brought it over to Cineflix. A writer named Will Rokos, who wrote "Monster's Ball," co-wrote the pilot with [show-runner] Tom Fontana. It's about a detective on the Lower East Side of New York in the 1800s. The setting is kind of like "The Alienist" or "Gangs of New York" or "Once Upon a Time in America."
So there's sort of a common theme there with "Mad Men." I guess I gravitate toward things that are set in historical New Yorks. I've lived my whole life here, and I'm interested in the immigrant experience of what it was like to live in New York at that time. You walk around every day and you see the structures that still exist from that time and you think about the lives people lived in them.
You sound like you spend a lot of time at the Tenement Museum.
You know what? I've never been there yet. Isn't that crazy? All the writers on the show have, though. I'm going to go right before it airs, as, like, a pilgrimage.
Anyway, the show's for BBC America. It's launching late summer. We're halfway through production. We just turned in the rough cuts for the first episode and I'm thrilled. There's nothing like this on TV. I'm just excited to be able to do the kinds of show I want to watch.
Do you only watch the kind of shows you want to make, or do you have a guilty pleasure?
Well, right now my favorite show on TV — and it's not a guilty pleasure because it's amazing — is "Downton Abbey." My husband and I only allow ourselves one episode a week so we don't run out too quickly. I see "Downton Abbey" as the perfect combination of "Mad Men" and "Copper."
The real guilty pleasure that I have…My husband always makes fun of me for it. He says, "You make these great shows by day, and then you come home and watch 'The Real Housewives of New York.'"

Williams reintroduces the stars of the sport — Lee and Richard Petty, David Pearson, Dale Earnhardt, Jeff Gordon, Jimmie Johnson and many others — while recounting the great moments of stock car racing.
What sets this 12-inch by 10-inch hardcover book apart is its unique "scrapbook" format which contains artwork and memorabilia tucked into dozens of pockets throughout the book.
