Founded: 1985 by the Salvation Army as the Clark County Food Bank Coalition
Former home: 8,000-square-foot "Stop Hunger" warehouse in Hazel Dell
New home: In Jan. 2012, the Clark County Food Bank moved into its own $4.8 million, 22,000-square-foot building at 6502 N.E. 47th Ave.
Phone: 360-693-0939.
Budget for fiscal 2013: $539,000; that will rise by approximately $300,000 next year as the Food Bank takes over a state Emergency Food Assistance contract with the Salvation Army and becomes the lead agency dealing with hunger in Clark County.
Staffing: Eight full-time positions; four administrators are on the Food Bank payroll, while four warehouse positions remain Salvation Army workers until they transition to the Food Bank on July 1. One quarter-time position manages the Heritage Farm, and there are three full-time AmeriCorps interns working on nutrition education, farming/gleaning and community outreach.
Plus: Lots of partnership and volunteer help, from three part-time "Partners in Careers" workers who staff the reception desk and do warehouse and custodial work, to nutrition/cooking educators from the Washington State University Clark County Extension, to many community volunteers.
On the Web: Clark County Food Bank
Three truckloads of golden sunshine — oranges — arrived earlier this year at the Clark County Food Bank. Officials there were delighted to let that sunshine in.
"We always had to say no to shipments in bulk because we didn't have the storage," said operations manager James Fitzgerald. No more. In fiscal 2012, Fitzgerald added, the Food Bank was able to accept nearly 1 million pounds of food it would have rejected in previous years — much of it fresh or frozen produce, from eggs to chickens and berries to beans.
In most recent months, Fitzgerald said, the Food Bank has broken records for incoming food, and is well on its way to besting fiscal 2012's total of 3.9 million pounds by nearly a million more in fiscal 2013 (ending June 30). Fitzgerald was even able to purchase a truckload of dry pasta; such a purchase would have been a pipe dream not long ago.
"It's been a really great year," executive director Alan Hamilton said of the period (well over a year now) since the Food Bank moved into a spacious, sophisticated new home and stepped up its game.
"It's a much bigger building, but it's a lot more than that, too," Hamilton said. "Its existence has allowed more food to move in and out, but it's also allowed us to build up other programs that we hope will be even more life-changing than that month's emergency food box."
The Clark County Food Bank is striving to be more than a way station for groceries and a distributor of food boxes. Hamilton and his small staff — there are just eight on the payroll, Hamilton included — are reaching out to the community in numerous new ways.
They're expanding the "Fresh Alliance" network of supermarkets and grocery stores that donate fresh produce nearing its expiration date, as well as recruiting skilled volunteers who do everything from raise crops to drive trucks. Ultimately, they're sending out not just healthy food but skills and knowledge to people who need to avoid cheap-but-not-nutritious foods and learn to cook for themselves.
That's in keeping with the Food Bank's declared mission not only to alleviate hunger, but "attack its root causes."
"We're taking some big leaps into the community, and one area that we have really grown into is prevention and education efforts," said Hamilton. "We're trying to grow the emergency food system but we're also trying to keep people from needing to enter the emergency food system."
Cooking with kids
"Anytime you have food in a program for kids, it's an instant success," said John Anderson, teen services director at the Boys & Girls Club in West Hazel Dell — the Clinton and Gloria John Clubhouse, next door to Hazel Dell Elementary School — which hosted a special meal and graduation ceremony a couple of Fridays ago. It marked the completion by nearly a dozen middle schoolers of a 10-week healthy cooking course at the Food Bank's teaching kitchen.
The class involved everything from beginning knife skills to the preparation from scratch of a number of easy dishes. In the end, families of these newly minted chefs were treated to a sit-down meal while their kids, decked out in paper hats and aprons, sailed back and forth between the reserved seats and their flavorful creations, which had been prepared at the Food Bank kitchen the day before and then reheated and hustled over by program manager Kristen Herron and AmeriCorps intern Audrey Williams.
The feast consisted of green and fruit salads, lasagna and — the "pièce de résistance" — moist, sweet banana chocolate-and-peanut-butter-chip muffins. Somehow or other, despite their new mastery of nutrition facts, many young chefs in the group dug right into the dessert course first.
"We didn't make this; the kids made this," announced Williams as the young cooking/wait staff busily served up their creations.
"I serve him all the time," grinned mom Thera Hart as 12-year-old Kaleb set out her meal. "It's nice to sit down and be served."
"The education behind this is fantastic," said Anderson. "This will help these kids have a healthier lifestyle."
Extra props go out to Kai Carterby, 11, who's already an enthusiastic home chef, his mom Karyn boasted. Karyn has tipped off Kai to the fact that girls dig guys who cook, but Kai seemed rather chagrined at that idea; he's more interested in the glory that will come with his own future television show: "Cooking with Kai."
The Food Bank's nutrition class "was awesome," said 11-year-old Daymian Wright, who hosted his mother and grandmother. "Getting all the ingredients together was the hardest part. Stirring was the easiest."
Similar cooking classes are under way or coming to constituencies including Spanish-speaking Vancouver Housing Authority residents, parents of children at lower-income elementary schools and a single-parents church group, Herron said. Most amazingly, she said, the Food Bank's "open enrollment" classes — not targeting any particular group — have proved very popular. Officials doubted anyone at all would sign up, Hamilton laughed, but those catch-all classes have become fun social outings for participants.
"I don't want to stop; let's keep going," one woman told Herron as the class finished up. "I like the people and it's my best meal of the week."
Herron said she'll try launching a supper club for those cooking-class graduates — so they can continue reinforcing those friendships as well as their new cooking skills. The supper club, of course, doesn't need the Food Bank — it could spin off on its own.
"Relationships happen over food," said Hamilton. "There is an optimism that's generated. There's an emotional shift that can affect other areas of a person's life."
More and better
Call it Food Bank 2.0. The previous "Stop Hunger" warehouse was 8,000 square feet, lacked adequate freezer and refrigerator capacity, and was leased. But a yearslong community and government push raised $4.8 million and built a permanent home for the Clark County Food Bank. The building opened in January 2012, and it allowed the Food Bank, a wing of the Vancouver Salvation Army since its founding, to establish itself as an independent nonprofit agency.
At 22,000 square feet, the Food Bank's new state-of-the-art facility is nearly three times the warehouse's size and includes many amenities it lacked: much more cooler and freezer space, more dry storage space, a large repacking room, convenient exterior bay doors, administrative offices and a big meeting room — which doubles as the teaching kitchen.
The Food Bank's governing board also hired the agency's first executive director, Hamilton, who in turn has hired a development director, reached out to local food-service businesses and energized whole new waves of volunteers. In addition to the reliable volunteer groups that have been coming around for years — churches, scouts, schools, service clubs — there's new interest from businesses looking to step up their community involvement and enhance their reputations; from licensed truckers with time on their hands; even from local farmers and landowners who want to put some extra acreage to use.
All of which presents great opportunities and big challenges, Hamilton said.
He met with 11 local farmers the night before this interview; they are all eager to grow additional crops for the Food Bank, either to harvest and deliver themselves or at least to have gleaners come remove.
"But they need assurances those gleaners will show up," Hamilton said. "They want to know it'll get into the hands of people -- otherwise it's too much effort."
The number of local "Fresh Alliance" grocery stores contributing good food that's nearing its expiration date has grown from 13 to 17, and Hamilton expects more. That creates a demand for drivers and vehicles, but volunteers still don't cover all the shifts and routes that need daily pickups.
"That can be a huge labor challenge for us, because those are non-optional pickups," said Hamilton. "The stores are counting on us to be there every day. But if you have to pay drivers every day, it gets really expensive."
Fresh Alliance food, he added, means meat, milk and fresh fruits and veggies — "the kind of food you can't get any other way." Hamilton likes to say the new Food Bank building has allowed clients to enjoy not only more food but better food.
"It's so much better," agreed Royalyn Whitley, the longtime director — a volunteer — of the food pantry at Clark County Adventist Community Services on St. Johns Road. That's one of 29 food pantries that make up the front line in the Food Bank's war on hunger.
"With all that storage space, cooler space, freezer space, they are able to handle so much more," she said. "They are accepting more fresh food and they're getting more markets online all the time. That's great for our clients. We used to visit the old warehouse once or twice a month. Now we make several trips a day."
Less of some things
While most everything is up, a couple of Food Bank statistics have dropped recently, Fitzgerald said.
One is federal government support. Regular distributions via the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Emergency Food Assistance Program topped out in the 2011 fiscal year, with 826,524 pounds; last year that amount fell to 590,268 pounds. Government support will continue to fall off this year, Fitzgerald said.
Plus, the Clark County Food Bank will no longer receive any nibbles from food drives sponsored by the Oregon Food Bank Network, based in Portland. In fiscal 2012, the Clark County Food Bank received 124,000 pounds of food, valued at $186,728, from Oregon food drives. In fiscal 2013, that number will be zero.
The Clark County Food Bank is still a member of the OFB Network, Hamilton said, but since it's become the lead agency dealing with hunger in Clark County, food drives south of the river are now out-of-bounds.
"It's a growing pain," said Hamilton. "It's a deficit we'll have to make up."

Humilty vs. Insecurity
There's a perpetual tension between fostering a strong sense of self in our children and ensuring that they don't become self-centered and egotistical.
By Rabbi Moshe Becker
We Also Recommend
Reprinted with permission from Torah Topics for Today.
Humility is a difficult trait to teach and to acquire. We must understand the difference between humility and insecurity. Insecurity is the lack of confidence in our abilities. Humility is achieved when we have the confidence in ourselves along with awareness that our abilities are in fact gifts with responsibilities.
This week's Torah portion contains a reminder to the Priests that they are there to serve with humility. Priests perform their Temple rituals in magnificent dress, but they must regularly perform very menial tasks such as cleaning the Altar in ordinary worker's clothes. The priests, the most noble and sacred group in the nation, are thus constantly aware that they are to serve with humility.
There's a perpetual tension between fostering a strong sense of self in our children and ensuring that they don't become self-centered and egotistical. We must remember and model to our children that we are all part of a larger picture. The larger picture is our family, our community, our country, our nation, and our universe. As we grow, so should our appreciation of the vast contributions others have made to our well-being and develop our sense of awe and humility.
TALK TO YOUR KIDS about the difficulty and importance of developing a healthy humility.
· What is humility?
· Can you be very good at something and humble at the same time?
· Is there something very good or wrong with a High Priest taking out the garbage?
· Can a healthy sense of humility contribute to self-confidence?

The state government could put a plan in place to open the first public "recovery high school" for teens with substance abuse problems under a bill approved by a state Senate panel today.
The legislation – approved 4-1 by the Senate Education Committee – would authorize the state's education commissioner to create a pilot program to establish the high school.
If the bill (S2058) becomes law, the school could be named after the bill's sponsor.

9 gigapixels, 84 million stars: Peer into the world's most detailed photo of the Milky Way November 1, 2012 at 2:38 pm
What you see here is the core of the Milky Way, as seen by the European Space Agency's VISTA telescope. If you looked up at the center of the Milky Way with your naked eye, all of these stars, galaxies and nebulae would occupy a patch of space that's just a few square inches. This is the most detailed photo ever of the Milky Way, enabling ESO astronomers to catalog no less than 84 million stars.

Eight Tips for Better Acer Laptop Batteries Life
- 1.Without any question, the fastest way to suck the life out of a Acer laptop battery is leaving your brightness high.We recommend that you decrease the screen as much as possible. Ideally, you should run the screen on the first brightness setting for the best battery life.
- 2.One habit that will improve the Acer battery life is to fully dim the display when not in use. As an example ,before taking a break to stretch or chat with people, hit the dim key until the screen turns off completely. Then only brighten the screen enough to do the following few tasks and dim it again when finished with those tasks.
- 3.Don't run out of your Acer Laptop Batteries. Lithium Ion laptop batteries work best when they are recharged while they still have 10 to 20% capacity remaining. So if you are using your notebook battery on your journey, try not to get in the habit of using the notebook battery until it has almost no charge.
- 4.Never expose the Acer laptop battery to extreme temperatures. Do not leave your Acer batteries outside in the cold or in your car during the summer time. Cold batteries cant create completely power and hot batteries will discharge in a short time. Permanent damage will result if the battery is placed in temperatures above 110 degrees Fahrenheit.
- 5. Remove the unnecessary external devices - Cut any wirelessness as possible as you can, Bluetooth and infrared port and usb powered devices.
- 6.Single-task, not multi-task,Run as few programs as possible get away with.Whenever you can, keep to the one application (word processor, browser, or whatever) you're currently using, as well as your antivirus and firewall in the background.
- 7.Avoid allowing your device to discharge completely.Nearly always recharching a lithium-ion battery does not shorten the battery life more than normal usage would. Try to avoid letting your Acer laptop batteries sit on empty for too much time; instead, Ensure that it keeps charged-up as possible as you can.
- 8.If you don't use the wireless of your Acer laptop,please turn off the wireless by using the Fn+F2 keys or QuickSet.

I have finally found some good Meditarranean food!! The Middle Eastern Platter was to die for..the falafel is housemade, and the hummus, baba ghannoug.... I have also had great pasta entrees, burgers, salads, and so on! Highly recommended!

Ouch! I have been looking for good chicken fried steak in San Francisco for a long time. I am sorry to say that this was one of the poorest experiences I have had so far in this hunt. The gravy was supper salty, obviously made from chicken base (industrial bullion). The Chicken Fried steak was frozen not fresh like the menu stated. The hash browns where golden on the outside and cool on the inside. My toast was only toasted on one side and not buttered but margerined. Lastly, my eggs where hard not over easy. All in all, it was the most disappointing renditions of a Chicken Fried Steak Breakfast I have ever had!

Good morning, humanoids! I'm Lonestar with Cheese, and today we've got a special spotlight report on Konnan!
Contrary to popular belief, Konnan was in fact a wrestler at one point in time and not just a professional s**t-talker/human gossip magazine. In fact here's photographic evidence:
See? Shirtless man, inside a wrestling ring, exposing his underwear: he's gotta be a wrestler! In fact, Konnan was at one point in time known as the "Hulk Hogan of Mexico". Then, as the 90s rolled on, he spent an increasing amount of time in wrestling feds inside the United States. Let's take a quick look at his career during this time frame.
1992-1993: Went to the WWF, became the character pictured above. Had pyrotechnics in his robot arms. Wrestled three televised matches before leaving because he felt he was being discriminated against and because Vince wasn't willing to give him a guaranteed contract. In 1993. Thankfully taught Bret Hart the Sharpshooter at some point.
1996: Starts up full time with WCW. In one of his first matches beats One Man Gang with a strategy known as terribly spastic wrestling.
Also orchestrates the WCW arrival of several Mexican wrestlers, most of which would quickly pass him by. Cough Rey Mysterio Jr. Cough.
1996-2001: Joins like five different factions because 90s WCW. Seriously, he was in the Dungeon of Doom, NWO, NWO Wolfpac, and the Filthy Animals. Surprisingly he was not in the Latino World Order. Go figure. Consistently existed as the "Oh yeah, Konnan was in that group" member of his factions.
2003: Forms a group in TNA called 3Live Kru, consisting of himself, an on the down-hill slope Road Dog Jesse James and f**king R-Truth. He turns out to be the least historically important member.
See, I told you guys he was a wrestler! His years and years of providing wrestling audiences with a mostly mediocre product totally give him the right to bash his more successful peers or reveal the details of their personal lives to a parasitic fan-base eager to know them. No, seriously you guys, it's okay. This is Konnan we're talking about. He managed Hernandez once!
-Heely McHeel-face Triple H cut a promo last night and named some damn names, comparing Daniel Bryan to Edge, RVD, and Chris Jericho, in that all four were never "the one" to be the face of the company and that if they had been "the one" during the Monday Night Wars, the WWE would have lost to WCW. The comment was made in character but I think I speak for a lot of people when I say that I believe the real Triple H believes what his character said to be the truth.
Anyway, Chris Jericho has eyes and ears and a social media account and responded with the following:
"Thing is @tripleh despite ur major push,u never were either. Good luck in ur future endeavors"
I'm sure Edge and RVD would have also responded had Edge not been high on a secluded mountain-top somewhere and Rob just been high.
-Hulk Hogan has been re-tweeting fan messages about going back to the WWE, because at this point he's probably got a lot of time on his hands.
-TNA's Bound for Glory happened last weekend and while it's pretty darn easy to bash TNA for its….well, everything, a few interesting things happened at the PPV. First, AJ Styles won the TNA World Title from Bully Ray and, reading the reports, it sounds like he used his big show moveset to do so. Chris Sabin won the X division title and Magnus, of all people, got the win over Sting at the biggest TNA show of the year.
In addition to all that, this guy had his first TNA match:
That would be Lonestar-endorsed, former WWE and NXT wrestler Derrick Bateman, playing a rich and entitled character that also happens to be Dixie Carter's nephew. At a time where it seems like TNA is shedding wrestlers and expenses all over to save costs, it's nice to see a deserving wrestler get another chance at success.
-Finally, another Shimmer taping has happened, and if you're curious to know how an all-female indy fed operates, check out http://cewshreviews.blogspot.com/, where they are reviewing all four shows of the taping this week.

Sears preps for re-election run marked by health care discussionWritten by Bailey G. Dick | | firstname.lastname@example.com
State Rep. Barbara Sears is confident going into what could be her final election.
"I'll work, and I'll win," Sears said of the challenges facing her in the coming months.
Sears is facing conservative political activist Scott Allegrini in a May 6 primary election for Ohio House District 47, which includes many of Toledo's northern and western suburbs, as well as almost all of Fulton County.
Sears was first appointed to the position in 2008 to replace Mark Wagoner, who was appointed to state senate. She is currently serving her third term in office. She is the Majority Floor Leader.
Sears got her start in politics serving on Sylvania City Council alongside her father. She was also the co-owner of Noble and Sears, an employee benefits and financial planning firm. She currently works as the senior vice president of employee benefits at Roemer Insurance.
Given her background in insurance, Sears has spearheaded legislative projects concerning health care on the state floor. She was assigned to committees dealing with insurance, health and aging, and health and human services.
"I have, for the speaker, quarterbacked pretty much all things having to do with health insurance, workers compensation and those issues," Sears said. "Probably 80-90 percent of what I do down there is health-related, just because somebody's got to take control over that area."
Sears will need to draw upon her knowledge of health care during the upcoming election, as one of the hot-button issues of her race will be the topic she knows best.
As a Republican, Sears has drawn some criticism for her support of Medicaid expansion in Ohio, in accordance with the Affordable Care Act, often referred to as Obamacare. One of her harshest critics has been Allegrini.
"If you expect your representative to fight to keep Obamacare and its mandates out of Ohio, than you should vote for me," Allegrini said. "If you support Obamacare and expanding the reach of federal and state government into your health care, then you should vote for Barb Sears.
"Health care is the most basic of personal liberties, and when she is so wrong on such a key issue, how many other issues will she be wrong on? With the federal government so wildly out of control, the next few years will be more important than ever before, as the state governments may need to make a stand against the overreach of those in D.C. We will need elected officials in Ohio that can see the big picture and know the importance of protecting Ohioans, and I will do that."
Sears said she doesn't agree with how her fellow conservatives are reacting to her position on Medicaid reform.
"The interesting thing is that prior to the Medicaid issue coming up, the conservative groups were inviting me into their functions and wanting to hear from me. And I can't tell you how many times I've been called too conservative for the district I serve," Sears said.
"From a fiscal standpoint, from a family values standpoint, and from a human capital standpoint, the Medicaid expansion makes sense. I get the fact that the expansion came with the Affordable Care Act," Sears said. "I was part of the team that said we should not do a state exchange, and I think the feds are 100 percent wrong for doing what they did with the Affordable Care Act."
Sears pointed to cost-cutting by reducing what she called "silos" of care in state-run institutions and incentivizing families to become employed and remain intact.
"Expanding Medicaid is just the right thing to do. Businesses, the Chamber of Commerce, right to life groups, all these groups are supportive of it for either the financial reason, the human capital reason or quite frankly, the moral reason," Sears said.
Sears said she believes she will win the May primary, and believes she has the support of the majority of her party.
"I don't think the Republican Party thinks I'm not conservative enough. I think a fraction of the party thinks that. Scott's a fine guy. He helped me campaign. He said he agrees with me 99 percent of the time, but that 99 percent isn't enough," Sears said. "I think that mainstream Republicans agree with me."
Sears is looking forward to enjoying her remaining time in office. She will reach her term limits should she win.
"I love this. This is the most enjoyable thing in life for me. I learn about new things I've never been exposed to," Sears said. "We live in a very diverse state. On any given day, I can start with health care reform and can end up talking about agriculture or scrap metal issues, and that's all before lunch."

It's not the best idea to combine LSD and skiing.
An Ohio State ski trip ended in four arrests and several citations on Dec. 14, after the bus driver transporting over 200 students to Aspen smelled pot and called the police. The authorities searched the bus with K-9 units and found marijuana, LSD, psychedelic mushrooms and about $12,000 in cash.
"Several of the young people had drugs. A lot of them were drinking alcohol," Sheriff Butch Baker of Henry County, Ind. told Westward.com.

Warren Buffett Diagnosed with Prostate Cancer
Warren Buffett was diagnosed Tuesday with prostate cancer, a development that would probably heighten the questions over his successor as the chief executive of his corporation, Berkshire Hathaway. However, Mr. Buffett has made it very clear that he would continue to run his corporation, writing to shareholders that the disease was in Stage 1 and that he had been told by doctors that it was not remotely life-threatening or even debilitating in any meaningful way.
Gold: That's Not What's On Warren Buffett's Mind
One of Buffett's favorite topics of discussion of late has been gold. He loves talking about investors' fascination with gold and with cash (in the form of bonds), as per most of the business news. Warren Buffett characterizes gold as one of the assets 'that will never produce anything, but that are purchased in the buyer's hope that someone else – who also knows that the assets will be forever unproductive – will pay more for them in the future'.

Cancer Control Research5R01CA078951-04
Bloom, Joan R.
We propose to investigate the 5-year effects of breast cancer and its treatment in a cohort of women diagnosed at age 50 or younger who where originally identified through the SEER tumor registry in the San Francisco Bay Area. In Phase I, we will resurvey eligible women from the original cohort of 336 (80 percent response) to assess change in social, emotional and physical concerns and functioning. These findings will inform our proposed Phase II eight session psychoeducation group intervention. We anticipate a sample of 434 women to be randomly assigned to intervention or control. In the intervention arm, participants in each of the 22 groups will learn the latest scientific information about topical issues of relevance to breast cancer. As part of this strategy, the woman will learn (or be re-exposed) to coping skills training and have opportunities to practice these skills. The effect of the intervention will be evaluated using a pre-post-test design. Pre-test in-person interviews will assess health behaviors, physical and mental health, and improved mood; post-test interviews will be conducted by telephone. Because the two samples for the proposed study are population-based, they are representative not only of younger breast cancer survivors, but also the multi-ethnic population of this region of the country.

I feel as though i would never say that i don't have a child because i do. I understand about strangers, but i would feel as if i am denying Savana if i say i have no children. I suppose if someone asked me that question i would say, "Yes, a beautiful daughter named Savana and i can't wait to see her when i get home, and that home is Heaven." I would say it with love and excitement! Then, maybe they wouldn't feel to uncomfortable. And i wouldn't sound so pathetic to them.[:)][:)]

Massage Therapy: The Power of Touch
How Massage Therapy Works
What to Expect From the Different Types
- Swedish—Considered the most common type, this involves long strokes, kneading, and other techniques on the more superficial muscle layers, along with active and passive joint movement. This type of massage is intended to relax and energize you.
- Deep tissue—Designed to release tension through slow strokes and deep finger pressure. Deep tissue is so named because it focuses on the deeper layers of muscle tissue. The strokes and pressure either follow or go across the grain of muscles and tendons. It is commonly used for muscle damage from an injury, like whiplash or back strain.
- Chair—This is massage of the upper body. It is done through your clothes while you are seated upright in a portable chair.
- Sport therapy—Sports massage focuses on warming up an athlete to prevent athletic injury, keep the body flexible, or help rehabilitate injured muscles.

At about 10 a.m. today, Oct. 29, the Whitman website began running on a new content management system (CMS) called Ingeniux. The new CMS will provide for better website architecture and page design, and it will improve functionality and enhance the experience of those visiting the site. Some of the final technical steps and changes can only happen after the live launch, and web content team members Phil Thompson and Michael Cox are working on those details. If you notice pages with spacing issues or find broken links, please send a note to firstname.lastname@example.com.
A recent article in USA Today about the national service project "Make A Difference Day" spotlights Whitman College for its commitment to volunteer work. About 135 Whitman students, faculty and staff are expected to turn out for this year's effort, which takes place this Saturday, Oct. 27, led by the Student Engagement Center. Whitman has participated in Make A Difference Day for more than 10 years.
Click here to read the full story.
Staff and faculty are invited to attend a special presentation by Charles Simonyi this Thursday, Nov. 1 at 4 p.m. in Olin 130. Simonyi is a high-tech pioneer, philanthropist and space traveler. Born in Budapest and educated at Berkeley, he was the chief architect of Microsoft Word, Excel and other widely-used application programs. He left Microsoft to found Intentional Software, which aims to develop and market computer software for knowledge processing. His passion for science and for space has led him to travel into space twice aboard Soyuz spacecraft, becoming the fifth private citizen in space and the first space tourist ever to fly twice.
His talk is titled "Space Tourist: Training and Mission" and will be followed by a Q&A session.
As a matter of prudent business practice, several years ago the college established a method for campus community members to anonymously question or report suspected financial impropriety at Whitman. A report can be made by phone or via a Website, provided by an outside vendor called EthicsPoint.
"While we hope the system never has to be used, it's important as a matter of course to have it in place given our widely decentralized culture," said Walter Froese, controller. "It is exclusively for financial issues. Some examples would be theft of college property or an improper travel reimbursement. Anyone noticing something that seems odd or off in any way is encouraged to raise questions.

Recently, Whitman hosted a series on the presidential election that featured David Brooks and Ray Suarez, providing commentators' general views on the candidates and the election from different points on the political spectrum. If you are interested in understanding the candidates' specific positions related to higher education, you might find value in an article published Oct. 25 by the daily online news source Inside Higher Ed. Titled "What's At Stake," the article reports on the positions of President Obama and Mitt Romney related to a variety of higher education topics, including fiscal policy and Pell grants, student loans and campus-based aid, for-profits, regulation and non-profits, labor law, Title IX, Affirmative Action and more.

This is the final week of National Cyber Security Awareness Month, and WCTS and The Fountain are focusing this last installment on how to securely store your online credentials. Mike Osterman '96, IT security officer and deputy director of enterprise technology, explains:
You have unique credentials for every web site, you're using passphrases and you've shredded all your post-it notes. Now what?
Likely you have too much information to remember and keep sorted out, but thankfully, there's software that can do the heavy lifting: a password safe.
WCTS recommends KeePass (see setup tutorials here) as it is free, open source and works on all major operating systems. There are many other options to choose from, many with more functionality, though they often carry a price tag. Please email firstname.lastname@example.com if you'd like more information or suggestions.
A few pointers for whichever safe you choose:
Use a strong passphrase – this "safe" holds the keys to your online kingdom.
If you're extremely worried about forgetting your safe's passprase, write it down and keep a copy in a secure place away from your computer.
Be sure to back up the safe's files regularly so you don't lose your data should your hard drive crash.

Ohio Valley Banc Corp. reports gain
GALLIPOLIS, Ohio — Ohio Valley Banc Corp., with headquarters in Gallipolis, reported consolidated net income for the quarter ended Dec. 31 of $1.6 million, an increase of 17.9 percent from the fourth quarter of 2011.
For the year ended Dec. 31, net income totaled $7.1 million, a 20.9 percent increase from net income of $5.8 million during the previous year.
"Our fourth quarter capped off a remarkable year that saw earnings reach a level only surpassed once in the company's 140-year history," said Thomas E. Wiseman, president and CEO, in a news release. "We are extremely proud of the effort put forth by our employees in the face of continued regulatory and economic challenges."
Ohio Valley Bank, established in 1872, currently operates 15 offices throughout Ohio and West Virginia.
Delta magazine to feature West Virginia
This July, Delta Sky magazine will spotlight West Virginia in a special section which will be on board Delta Air Lines' 13,000 daily flights, reaching more than five million readers worldwide.
The timing is ideal, said Keith Burdette, West Virginia Department of Commerce cabinet secretary.
"July is the month the state will be hosting the 2013 National Scout Jamboree at the new Summit Bechtel," he said in a press release.
"This magazine will be a terrific marketing opportunity for our state's businesses and destinations."
The West Virginia feature will include interviews with key leaders and business profiles of existing and emerging growth industries in an effort to encourage business executives and travelers to take note of the state's advantages. It also will profile the ideal balance between life and work that many find in West Virginia's small metros and main streets, the release said.
Delta no longer has a flight out of Huntington's Tri-State Airport, but it does have flights to Atlanta and Detroit out of Charleston's Yeager Airport.
Starting in February, Delta Sky magazine representatives will be reaching out to leaders throughout the state for input and support. The number of advertisers who participate in the section will determine the number of editorial pages for the West Virginia profile. For advertising information, contact John Moreton, associate publisher of Delta Sky, at firstname.lastname@example.com, 612-373-9602 or 612-867-1647).

Lancaster County Landmarks - Mappy Monday
Clifton was originally part of King Carter's land and probably served as a hunting lodge. His descendants sold the house and farm to James Armistead Palmer in 1843. Palmer died shortly after, but his daughter Maria Lee Palmer and son John Armistead Palmer grew up at Clifton. Louise Strong was John Palmer's daughter.

Marcasite jewellery
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Marcasite jewelry is jewelry made from pyrite (fool's gold), not, as the name suggests, from marcasite.[1] Pyrite is similar to marcasite, but more stable and less brittle. Marcasite jewellery has been made since the time of the Ancient Greeks.[2] It was particularly popular in the eighteenth century, the Victorian era and with Art Nouveau jewellery designers.[2][3] It is frequently made by setting small pieces of pyrite into silver.[3] Cheaper costume jewelry is made by glueing pieces of pyrite rather than setting.[2] A similar-looking type of jewellery can be made from small pieces of cut steel.[1][2]

- What is Bladderwrack?
- How does Bladderwrack work?
- Are there safety concerns?
- Are there any interactions with medications?
- Dosing considerations for Bladderwrack.
Are there any interactions with medications?
Medications for an overactive thyroid (Antithyroid drugs)
Interaction Rating: Moderate Be cautious with this combination.
Talk with your health provider.
Bladderwrack can contain significant amounts of iodine. Iodine can affect the thyroid. Taking iodine along with medications for an overactive thyroid might decrease the thyroid too much. Do not take bladderwrack if you are taking medications for an overactive thyroid.
Some of these medications include methenamine mandelate (Methimazole), methimazole (Tapazole), potassium iodide (Thyro-Block), and others.
Medications that slow blood clotting (Anticoagulant / Antiplatelet drugs)
Interaction Rating: Moderate Be cautious with this combination.
Talk with your health provider.
Bladderwrack might slow blood clotting. Taking bladderwrack along with medications that also slow clotting might increase the chances of bruising and bleeding.
Some medications that slow blood clotting include aspirin, clopidogrel (Plavix), diclofenac (Voltaren, Cataflam, others), ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, others), naproxen (Anaprox, Naprosyn, others), dalteparin (Fragmin), enoxaparin (Lovenox), heparin, warfarin (Coumadin), and others.
Dosing considerations for Bladderwrack.The appropriate dose of bladderwrack depends on several factors such as the user's age, health, and several other conditions. At this time there is not enough scientific information to determine an appropriate range of doses for bladderwrack. Keep in mind that natural products are not always necessarily safe and dosages can be important. Be sure to follow relevant directions on product labels and consult your pharmacist or physician or other healthcare professional before using.

By tully | "Boredom at Its Boredest" by Michael Tully February 21, 2005 at 4:49AM
Cory McAbee is one fine, distinguished gentleman. In addition to writing some bizarrely brilliant music (www.billynayer.com), he has also directed a bizarrely fantastic motion picture. "The American Astronaut" is like Jim Jarmusch directing a musical version of "Eraserhead." Actually, that's too limiting a description. It's somehow even weirder than that.
After years of hauling the film from town to town, Cory and the fine gentlemen at Brainbox Productions (www.brainbox.tv) have finally decided to make the leap to DVD. In conjunction with the home video release, Cory will be touring the country and performing/speaking at several of the release parties. Go here to find out where and when, and then go to the parties--www.americanastronaut.com. The first event is tomorrow night at the AFI Silver in D.C., so just be sure not to miss it when it comes to your town.
(Also, go here: www.guatemalanhandshake.com. Todd Rohal is one of the gifted fellows who helped to make the "American Astronaut" DVD the special product that it is. He also happens to be a brilliantly twisted filmmaker in his own right. His debut feature, "The Guatemalan Handshake" (don't bother asking, they don't know either) features the multi-talented Mr. McAbee, as well as Bonnie "Prince" Billy himself, Will Oldham. Watch the trailers on the website. Seriously. Right fucking now. WOW!!!)

Interpretive Handbook
19863 :
Germ Cell Tumor (GCT), Isochromosome 12p, FISH, Tissue
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Germ cell tumors (GCT) comprise a heterogeneous group of solid neoplasms that arise in midline locations including the gonads, retroperitoneum, mediastinum, and central nervous system. GCT are categorized based upon their histologic differentiation and can be separated into 2 classes. Seminomatous GCT include seminoma of the testis, dysgerminoma of the ovaries, and germinoma of the brain. Nonseminomatous GCT include yolk sac tumor, embryonal carcinoma, choriocarcinoma, immature teratoma, and mixed forms. Due to the wide spectrum of histologic features observed in these tumors, distinction from non-GCT can be difficult. GCT are often very responsive to chemotherapy and have a better outcome relative to histologically similar malignancies. Thus, distinguishing GCT from non-GCT is critical to provide the appropriate treatment for the patient. Gain of the short arm of chromosome 12, most commonly as an isochromosome 12p: i(12p), is a highly nonrandom chromosomal marker seen in a significant percentage of GCT. While i(12p) is not 100% specific for GCT, the literature indicates it has diagnostic and possible therapeutic relevance for patients with these tumors. Testing of i(12p) should be concomitant with histologic evaluation, and positive results may support the diagnosis of GCT.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Supporting the diagnosis of germ cell tumors when used in conjunction with an anatomic pathology consultation
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
A neoplastic clone is detected when the percent of cells with an abnormality exceeds the normal cutoff for the i(12p) probe set.
A positive result is consistent with the diagnosis of a germ cell tumors (GCT).
A negative result suggests that the i(12p) marker is not present, but does not exclude the diagnosis of a GCT.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
This test is not approved by the FDA and it is best used as an adjunct to existing clinical and pathologic information.
Fixatives other than formalin (eg, Prefer, Bouin's) may not be successful for FISH assays. Although FISH testing will not be rejected due to nonformalin fixation, results may be compromised.
Paraffin embedded tissues that have been decalcified are generally unsuccessful for FISH analysis. The pathologist reviewing the hematoxylin and eosin-stained slide may find it necessary to cancel testing.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
An interpretive report will be provided.

Ahmed Abu Khattala, a chief suspect in the attack on our consulate in Benghazi on September 11, 2012, was captured Sunday night of this past week, the Washington Post reported yesterday. He was soon after moved to a U.S. ship located off-shore from Libya where he is being held before apparently being moved to the United States to face prosecution for his alleged role in the terrorist attack on September 11, 2012 in Benghazi, Libya.
This means that Ahmed Abu Khattala has been in U.S. custody for three days since his capture on Sunday night of this past weekend. The New York Daily News has reported past interviews of Abu Khattala, including one last August with Arwa Dawson of CNN. Any connection of Abu Khattala's activities that night and the anti-Islamic video on YouTube cited by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and President Obama, as the alleged cause of the attack on our consolulate in Benghazi that night, was not mentioned in the interviews.
On late Tuesday night, three days after the capture of Abu Khattala, the New York Times reports, in a story titled "Brazen figure may hold key to mysteries," that the Benghazi suspect
The New York Times account of Benghazi, seeking to bolster the Obama Regime's narrative that the video caused the attack in Benghazi, reported "A Fuse is lit" in stating, "Then, on Sept. 8, a popular Islamist preacher lit the fuse by screening a clip of the video on the ultraconservative Egyptian satellite channel El Nas. American diplomats in Cairo raised the alarm in Washington about a growing backlash, including calls for a protest outside their embassy."
That same account of Benghazi reported this claim from the Regime about the video: "What happened in Benghazi was in fact initially a spontaneous reaction to what had just transpired hours before in Cairo," she said on NBC's "Meet the Press," "almost a copycat of the demonstrations against our facility in Cairo, prompted by the video."
The Huffington Post, and other news outlets, on the evening of Tuesday, June 17 report that Abu Khattala blamed the attack on the videio, reporting form the New York Times story the quote, "What he did in the period just before the attack has remained unclear. But Mr. Abu Khattala told other Libyans in private conversations during the night of the attack that he was moved to attack the diplomatic mission to take revenge for an insult to Islam in an American-made online video."
This is reportedly a statement that Abu Khattala allegedly made the night of the attack in Benghazi. Numerous news outlets are running with that statement from Abu Khattala and reporting it as new news broken by The New York Times last night, as if Abu Khattala said it last night or yesterday. While they are not making the claim that he made the comment in the last couple days since being captured by the U.S., they are clearly reporting this to make it appear that the statement was made by Abu Khattala lately. Such a statement by the Benghazi suspect may yet still be released by the suspect while he's in custody of the militiary or perhaps after he is turned over to the custody of the Justice Department of the current administration.
Rush Limbaugh, on his syndicated radio program, just shortly after noon yesterday (several hours before the publishing of the much-reported story in The New York Times story quoting Abu Khattala for blaming the attack on the video) speculated about the notion of whether or not the suspect, after reporting him as being captured, would say the video caused the attack.
During the noon hour of The Rush Limbaugh Program, Limbaugh said, "Folks, anybody want to bet me that this Benghazi suspect, at some point -- they've captured the militia leader, leader of the Benghazi attack -- anybody want to bet me that sometime this week he will admit that the Internet video is what made him so mad that he rounded up his buddies and began the assault on the consulate? I am just going to tell you, I'm not going to predict that, but I want to go on record here on June the 17th making it very clear that, if that does happen, I, for one, will not be surprised in the least."
Rush Limbaugh said that shortly after noon yesterday, hours before The New York Times reported the statement by Abu Khattala, and hours after the statement, he was proven right. Seeminly almost every outlet of the mainstream media has quoted the statement in the Times story and is running with the report that the chief Benghazi suspect just captured says the video caused the attack.
Rush Limbaugh predicted this and he was right. The importance is how the Obama Regime used this narrative about the video causing the attack on our consulate in order to deny that what happened there that night was in fact an act of terrorism. Denying the events that night were an act of terrorism was key in upholding the claims by candidate for reelection Obama that his administration had defeted al Qaeda and has won the war on terrorism. Admitting that an act of terrorism has happened that night would instantly deflate his campaign trail claims of having eradicated al Qaeda and the terrorism threat overall. The video had received reportedly fewer than a dozen views in those few days it was posted on YouTube before it was blamed for the attack. Clearly a video that almost no one had seen could truly be blamed for such an attack.
Limbaugh was simply stating that the entirley debunked narrative, that the video caused the attack, is the Regime's defense and they would seek to bolster and continue to stand behind the video narrative in their continued efforts to conceal from the public the truth about what happened in Benghazi. Limbaugh suggested, that he would not be surprised, if the sudden capture of the Benghazi suspect was followed by a claim involving the suspect blaming the video for the attack to support the Regime's explanation of Benghazi. Once again, Rush Limbaugh has been provden correct. The willing accomplices in the mainstream media of this Regime, lead by their primary media cheerleader, The New York Times, wasted no time to confirm Limbaugh's wisdom by confirming that Abu Khattala allegedly blamed the video for the attack on Benghazi. Rush was spot-on correct, yet again.

Read Poems by
Ryland Matthews
I would like naught but the chance to glimpse a glimmering shadow upon a sun streaked field,
To find a place of darkening grace, that brings me to lucidity.
To hold and behold the essence of a thing that only kings had been able to wield.
To go beyond thought and embrace a thing that only Forever could comprehend,
To see within a light's past and know that darkness had come before.
Skin of jade, and an angels smile,
the touch of passion that you enfold,
You move like wind, and dance like fire,
upon this landscape "my heart" you hold
Your thoughts are keeping, my deep secrets meaning,
to put forth the light that you have shown.
And in the eyes of umber gleaming,
I see deep within its meaning, a solace no fable has told,
so bring forth this, a hearing sacred, voice of resonance no string can fold.
And within this thought of heavens shadow, this ebony thing to me is gold
I have dreamt of you, in the darkest of night, and in the shadows I hear the calling
Darkness glimmers, a breath that shimmers to ring sound true a heart that's falling
