President Clinton has appointed Secretary of Defense William J. Perry as
chairman of the 1995 Interagency Savings Bonds Committee. The committee,
consisting of the heads of all federal departments and agencies, is charged
with the responsibility of leading the 1995 U. S. Savings Bond Campaign for all
federal employees, both civilian and military.
In Fiscal Year 1994, a third of all federal employees regularly bought bonds
through the payroll savings plan. Based on 1994 data, the Treasury Department
estimates that for every billion dollars in U. S. Savings Bonds sold last year,
$97.5 million in debt financing costs will be saved over the life of the bonds.
In FY 94, bonds sales totalled more than $9.5 billion. As a result of those
sales, the government will save $926 million in debt financing costs.
Savings Bonds offer buyers market-based interest rates, along with tax
advantages that include exemption from state and local income taxes and tax
deferral until the bonds are redeemed or mature. Under certain circumstances
U. S. Savings Bonds may also offer additional tax advantages when used for
qualified educational expenses. The current semi-annual rate, effective
through April 30, 1995 is 5.92 percent.

Pregnancy and HIV
October 2012
Invasive Tests, Procedures, and Delivery
There are a number of invasive prenatal tests, such as amniocentesis, chorionic villus sampling (CVS), and percutaneous umbilical blood sampling, that may increase the risk of HIV transmission to the baby. Talk to your health care provider if you need these tests. Certain procedures during delivery, such as invasive monitoring and forceps- or vacuum-assisted delivery, should be avoided if possible.
There are 2 types of delivery: cesarean (C-section) and vaginal delivery.
Elective or planned C-sections are done before labor begins and before the mother's "water" (sac of fluid that surround the baby) breaks. This reduces the baby's contact with the mother's blood and may reduce the risk of transmission in certain cases. Since C-sections require surgery, they carry some risks. Women who have C-sections are more likely to get infections than those who give birth vaginally. C-sections are recommended for HIV+ pregnant women who:
- Have an unknown viral load
- Have a viral load greater than 1,000 copies at 36 weeks of pregnancy
Vaginal Delivery
For a woman on combination HIV treatment with a low viral load (less than 1,000), a C-section is not likely to further reduce her already low risk of transmitting HIV.
The decision of which type of delivery is best for you should be discussed with your health care provider early in your pregnancy.
After the Baby Is Born
During the first six weeks, the baby will need to take Retrovir (and possibly other HIV drugs). A blood test called a complete blood count (CBC) should be performed on the newborn baby as a baseline. The baby will also need to take medication to prevent pneumonia after finishing Retrovir, unless there is adequate information to confirm that the infant does not have HIV. Taking these medications does not mean the baby is sick; it is just a precaution to decrease the chances of getting HIV and other illnesses.
The baby will receive several HIV tests to determine if he or she is infected. An HIV polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test should be used. These tests look for the HIV virus, rather than HIV antibodies. HIV antibody tests, which are commonly used to determine HIV infection in adults, should not be used in newborns since babies carry their mother's antibodies for 12 to 18 months.
HIV virus testing should be done when the baby is 14 to 21 days old, one to two months old, and four to six months old. A positive HIV virus test should be confirmed with a second test. Two positive HIV virus tests mean that the baby has HIV infection. If the baby has two or more negative tests with one at one month and another at four months or later, when the mother is not breast-feeding, then she or he does not have HIV infection. Many experts confirm that the baby does not have HIV by doing an HIV antibody test when the baby is 12 to 18 months old.
Since a baby can be infected with HIV through breast milk, it is important not to breast feed if you have other options. You can still have a strong bond with your child even if you bottle feed.
If you live where safe water is not easy to get, the risk to your baby of life-threatening conditions from formula feeding with unsafe water may be higher than the risk of HIV infection through breastfeeding. In some areas, formula may also be too expensive. If you are in either of these situations, it is better to feed your baby on breast milk alone.
Mixed feeding, in which a baby is given breast milk as well as other liquids (e.g., formula, sugar water, gripe water), is not recommended. It is currently thought that mixed feeding may damage the lining of babies' stomachs and make them more likely to get HIV when exposed to it in breast milk. If, for whatever reason, you cannot feed your baby exclusively on formula, it is recommended that you take HIV drugs and feed with breast milk alone.
It is also important not to feed your baby food that has been chewed by someone who is HIV+ (pre-masticated). This can spread HIV to your child.
In Conclusion
Deciding to have a baby is a big step for any woman, but for an HIV+ woman, it is even more complicated. Talk to your HIV health care provider and OB or midwife before you start trying to get pregnant. If you plan ahead, there are many things you can do to protect your health and the health of your new baby.

Some schemes have a compulsory lump sum amount which you have to take. Some you 'buy' your lump sum by having a reduced pension. 'Buying' a lump sum is rarely a good financial move (assuming you don't have stacks of credit card debt at high interest rates too pay off!), but if you are thinking about it, find out what the rate is and post it here if you want an opinion.If you are retiring AND are good at home maintenance type stuff (unblocking loos, sorting out guttering etc) AND you live in an area where there are cheapo BTLs, then a BTL might be a good investment. But if you are going to have to pay someone else to manage it, then I wouldn't consider it.What to do with your lump sum? Clear any of your mortgage that remains. Think about other large costs you may have coming up - replace the car? Conservatory? Then stick the rest into equities by using up your ISA allowance each year. You have a very good guaranteed pension, so you don't need to be paranoid about risk.manzanilla

Council may raise water, sewer rates
The Henderson City Council began delving into the details of the 2014-2015 budget at its Tuesday work session.
Board members sought to find ways to limit water and sewer rate impacts on residents while still providing good fiscal management for the city.
Council consensus was to raise the regional water system's rate by 4 percent, the city's water rate by 3.5 percent and the sewer rate by 3 percent. The board must still vote on the increases when it adopts the budget next month.
Council members Garry Daeke and Fearldine Simmons were absent for Tuesday's work session.
City Manager Ray Griffin in his recommended budget proposed increases of 3 percent and 5 percent for the sewer and water rates, respectively, which would help mitigate losses in revenue and the impact of volatile utilities and chemicals costs.
But Councilman Mike Inscoe, also chairman for the Kerr Lake Regional Water System Advisory Board, said though the regional system needed to increase revenue, he didn't want to do it on the backs of Henderson residents. Most of the funds for the system come from the sale of water to the city, Oxford and Warren County.
Inscoe proposed a 4 percent regional water system increase that would only end up causing a 3.5 percent jump to the city water rate.
The rest would be made up from other sources.
An increase of 1 percent to the regional water rate yields about $39,000; a 1 percent increase to the city water rate yields about $27,000.
Griffin noted even with the rate increase, the total regional water fund budget of $4.32 million is less than the current approved budget of $4.43 million.
Water sales are down at all three partners, which means revenue for the regional water system are down as 99 percent of all revenue comes from the sale of water to Henderson, Oxford and Warren County.
Major expenses are electricity and chemicals, which eat up 21 percent of the total budget, and a nearly $800,000 transfer — about 18 percent of the budget — to the capital reserve fund for the planned expansion of the water plant's capacity to 20 million gallons per day.
In the city's water fund, revenue is down because water sales are down, Griffin said. Conservation efforts, a wet spring and summer, and the lingering effects of the recession on the Tri-County are among the culprits.
The proposed 3 percent increase to the sewer rate would generate about $111,000; each percent increase provides about $37,000.
Major operating expenses are electricity and chemicals, which cost some $586,000 — about a 12 percent chunk of the sewer budget.
Other major expenses are $140,400 for bio-solids disposal, $21,800 for sewer maintenance and repair, and $45,000 for street patching needed for utilities cuts, Griffin said.
The next budget work session is scheduled for 6 p.m. Thursday at City Hall, 134 Rose Ave. It is open to the public.
The council is scheduled to adopt the budget June 23. The new fiscal year begins July 1.

I dearly love a good steak and rib-eyes are my very favorite of steaks. Looks pretty tasty, doesn't it? It was. :)

Osso Bucco with Gorganzola Polenta

Hearty Beef Stock
If your concept of beef stock comes out of a box or can…we need to talk. Box and canned beef stocks are lacking in flavor and taste dreadful, many of which with an awful aftertaste. This is because the U.S. Department of Agriculture requires a ratio of 135 parts water to only 1 part beef. Do you really believe if the FDA doesn't require beef in beef stock that cost conscious food manufacturers are actually going to use beef? They don't. As such, the beef flavor in beef stock doesn't come from beef. It comes from advances in food chemistry. Manufacturers of beef stock use beef powder, technically called "dried pulverized beef tissue" and beef fat technically referred to as a "beef byproduct." Another product used to give beef stock that "umami" character is MSG. Yum. Don't you really want to feed your family canned or boxed stock? Continue reading Hearty Beef Stock

Super Bowl Chili, Texas-Style
This recipe is a Texas-style chili, commonly referred to as a "bowl of red." True Texas-style chili includes only meat, chile peppers, and spices. Like cajuns and their gumbo, Texans take their chili seriously and there are numerous disagreements over what is and what is not chili. The debate continues to rage over beans vs. no beans; tomatoes vs. no tomatoes, etc. and, over time, a whole chili lore has developed. Texans take their chili so seriously that chili was officially designated the state food of Texas by the State Legislature in 1977. Also, to most Texans, the fact that a genuine "bowl of red" can only be found in Texas has never been in doubt. In fact, it is generally accepted that, despite its Spanish name, chili con carne originated in San Antonio Texas. Indeed, in the 1800s when San Antonio was host to the Mexican Army, the Chili Queens of San Antonio (as they became known) made large pots of chili at home by day, and clad in brightly colored dresses, trundled their carts to San Antonio's Military Plaza, ladling out their vendibles from cast iron pots heated over wood or charcoal fires in the evening.
Chili became so popular in Texas (and later elsewhere) that chili parlors and chili cook-offs sprang up everywhere. Legend has it that outlaw and desperado Jesse James refused to rob a bank in McKinney, Texas because that is where his favorite chili parlor was located. Beginning in 1967, as a joke with a chili-cooking duel between humorist H. Allen Smith and journalist Wick Fowler, chili cook-offs are now popular all over the country, with state-wide and International contests. The Chili Appreciation Society International (CASI) cook-off is held in Terlingua, TX and the ICS (International Chili Society) Cook-off was normally held in CA. Even US Presidents have gotten into the fray over chili
"Chili concocted outside of Texas is usually a weak, apologetic imitation of the real thing. One of the first things I do when I get home to Texas is to have a bowl of red. There is simply nothing better."
Lyndon B. Johnson, 36th President of the United States
Try this recipe and you, too, can enter a chili cook-off with possibly the winning bowl of red. ;)

Hate to write a bad review but this got me steamed! We have eaten here a few times it is busy season in Delray so we decided to use their call ahead. We arrived on time at the agreed time and were told we have to wait 30 minutes. Explained to the greeter we called ahead - what is call ahead for if you have to wait 30 minutes? she was callous and couldn't care less -- asked for a supervisor and he couldn't care less - I asked why do you have call ahead if you cannot handle it? he said we can handle it? Normally would not care as much but we had 2 children with us and it was getting late to eat and look for alternative restaurants. We left and they have lost a year round customer.

Never had pizza crust that was so good... melted inyour mouth. Delicious all the way... Keep the Pizza simple.... tomato sauce and ricotta is the best!

When ever possible I stop a Anthony's Pizza. It's great with a nice thin crust, and the freshest of toppings. The salad is outstanding the most refreshing dressing . I've tried to duplicate it but it just doesn't compare . Try it you'll like it
Posted by Frank J. on 06/05/2010
I don't really enjoy the blackened charred burnt crust so on my last visit I asked them NOT to char the crust. That's when I realized how dull and bland the ingredients are. You see, the burnt char is all you really taste -- so you never really know how unappetizing the pizza really is.

If you are from NYC and missing the slice - this is the place to go! Very fresh ingredients and the wings are good too!

My fiance and I were driving up the coast on Valentine's Day and quite by chance found this delightful spot that offered great food, ambiance and a memory that will long be enjoyed. Not cheap but not really expensive this place offers a good value for what it offers. The food is well presented and delicious. Enjoy!

Missy Robertson from 'Duck Dynasty' gets asked one particular question a lot – Is Uncle Si really as crazy as he seems?
And the answer is an emphatic yes. "More so," she told me laughing, "remember there's only 22 minutes in an episode." But she made sure to include that the iced-tea swilling goofball is "a sweetheart. He's really very tenderhearted. He loves kids but yes he's goofy and a bit crazy."

I promised myself I wouldn't be one of those bloggers who posts, just to post. I mean really, this isn't a lesson in creativity, it's something I have to do like eating cheese or drinking wine - I mean brushing my teeth or shaving my legs (anyway you get the idea - it's pretty much a necessity). I tell you that because I'm ashamed of myself for not writing in the last few weeks.
So here we are - by now you realize (because all you do is keep track of me and my life) that I've moved back to Seattle from New York - and am still in denial about it. Seriously, no matter which eye I close that Space Needle is NOT morphing into the Empire State Building; all it does is move a little left or right:
Only half of me is officially IN Seattle because most of my furniture, a few x-boyfriends and some odds and ends are scattered from the Upper West Side to Brooklyn Heights with a few crumbs still layin' around the streets of Chelsea. I shouldn't sound so nostalgic though, really - I mean let's face it I complained about New York as much as I am beginning to complain about Seattle (I'm rarely fully content). Truth is my meat IS here - clothes, friends, family and favorite weiner dog so I am grateful for that.
As I begin to bring the rest of my heart and soul back to the Emerald city, fully aware of it's resistance, I'm doing my best to employ Grace (let's not forget it IS my word for the year). I, believe it or not, fully restrain myself when faced with a crosswalk that in any other city would welcome a saunter through; (red light and all). I've honked my horn only a handful of times even though Seattlelites insist upon merging when EVER they feel like it and I smile at the Barista who genuinely wants to know how my day is; no matter how early I've arrived at the shop.
All in all I'm sewing the experience of these two cities together and soon will cross out the New York and become The Only Livin' Girl in
Meanwhile - I've decided to take a photo a week of my new life here. Which will likely be more interesting when I visit New York in June - ok, I'll stop. But really, a photo a week of my life no matter where I end up...promise.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9, 2011 President Barack Obama and military leaders paid their respects today at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware during the dignified transfer of remains of service members killed in an Aug. 6 helicopter crash in Afghanistan.
Two Air Force C-17 transport aircraft carrying the remains arrived at Dover this morning.
An investigation is under way to determine the facts surrounding the deaths of 30 U.S. service members and eight Afghans when their CH-47 Chinook helicopter went down in Afghanistan's Wardak province. Five of the U.S. casualties were aircrew members, and 25 were members of the U.S. Special Operations Command.
Defense Secretary Leon E. Panetta was in attendance at Dover today, along with Navy Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and his wife, Deborah; and Michael G. Vickers, undersecretary of defense for intelligence.
Representing the services were Navy Secretary Ray E. Mabus, Navy Adm. Gary Roughead, chief of naval operations, and Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy Rick D. West; Army Secretary John M. McHugh and Gen. Peter W. Chiarelli, Army vice chief of staff; and Air Force Undersecretary Erin C. Conaton, Gen. Philip M. Breedlove, Air Force vice chief of staff, and Chief Master Sgt. of the Air Force James A. Roy.

Thirty-eight souls, their lives cut short, and in pursuit of true nobility. A band of ignoble thieves, stealing their victim's sin, and so it is their inheritance. May God bless our beloved and noble fallen warriors. And duly so: let them know your true glory. Without further petition, let their families know them in Heaven. May God bless those thieves, in their binding to Hate, Fear, and Lies--may they find humility in their bindings set forth here and now beheld forevermore. In the name of God's Son and our Savior, I pray.

A great soldier once said: "Do not greeve for the loss of these men; rather, thank God the sich men lived". I feel the pain of loss for the families of the fallen.
Honor their memory and service.
Stedfast and loyal.
- Eric Raspperry SSG(RET), Fullerton, Ca
On a day like today it makes every loyal American reflect on just what the price of freedom is. I didn't invent the quote but to everyone out there that pretends not to realize it, "Freedom Isn't Free!" The freedom we all have has been acquired on the backs of our military for over 200 years. I do pray that we never have to loose another brave soul but realistically that is not the case, soldiers will die, 2 and 4 legged, to preserve the way of like for the Greatest Country on this God's Earth. Please take a moment of your time to reflect and think of those who perished last Saturday for your freedom and remember, "See a Soldier, Thank a Soldier, See a Soldier's Family, Thank Them for Their Sacrifices!" May God Bless them ALL! RIP Brave Souls and Thank You from one humbled American!
- Frank A Yevchak Jr, Hewitt, NJ
Every Hero should be welcomed home with as much respect and attention while respecting the wishes of their loved ones. Rotate the members of Congress to attend these so that when they vote on military spending, freezing the budget, etc., they get a sense of the who pays the highest price for all of our freedoms. These are the best Americans and they are irreplaceable! When my grandson returns to Astan with the 101st next deployment, I hope that America is still supporting them loudly and proudly. My vote is my service to America, and we the people honor all who serve! God bless America.

It hasn't translated to as many wins, during the close games, as coach Bruce Boudreau would have hoped – until, the last two games. The Caps have beaten the Buffalo Sabres (2-1) and the Pittsburgh Penguins (1-0) in two of their best defensive games of the year. The best part? Both gam...

Old school Caps knock off Ducks, trade deadline looms
Posted on 17 Feb 2011 by Dennis Patchett.
When in doubt, draw from past experiences! That's exactly what the Washington Capitals did last night. They broke from a losing streak and goal scoring slumber to down the Anaheim Ducks 7-6. This wild, run and gun game, looked more like the Capitals from years past. It didn't take defense to break the losing slump, it took offense! Alexander Semin scored his 7th career hat-trick, naili...

Sharks de-cap the Caps!
Posted on 8 Feb 2011 by Dennis Patchett.

April 30, 2014
To: Brazos River Authority System Rate Customers
RE: Brazos River Authority System Rate Customer Workshop
Dear Customer:
You are cordially invited to attend a System Rate Customer Workshop (Workshop) on Thursday, May 29, 2014. The Workshop will begin at 1:30 p.m. at the Brazos River Authority's (BRA) Central Office in Waco,
Texas, located at 4600 Cobbs Drive (map enclosed).
The purpose of the Workshop is to provide our customers with an overview of how we are formulating the Fiscal Year 2015 (FY 2015) System Rate and the critical assumptions being used in our rate making
process for raw water sales. The presentation my staff will discuss at the Workshop will be essentially the same as the information discussed with our Board of Directors at its preliminary
budget workshop.
Supporting documentation and information regarding the contemplated FY 2015 System Rate will be made available to you prior to the Workshop. These materials will be available electronically on the BRA
website at the following link: www.brazos.org/customer-reports.asp. Please check this link as we near the Workshop date for additional materials that may be posted for review.
Additionally, in an effort to promote productivity, the BRA will accept questions in advance of the Workshop. Please forward your questions to the
BRA's CFO, Mr. John Hawes, at firstname.lastname@example.com.
We believe this Workshop will strengthen the transparency of the BRA's business activities and provide our System Rate customers an early opportunity to ask questions about our
rate making and budgeting processes. This meeting will also lay the foundation for updates on BRA projects and related financial matters you will hear about at our Annual
Customer meetings to be held later this year.
My staff and I are pleased to incorporate this Workshop into our business practices, as we are committed to building greater communication and consensus among all of our customers.
Please RSVP to my office by calling (254) 761-3194 or by e-mailing Ms. Nancy Adams at firstname.lastname@example.com. We look forward to this opportunity to collectively discuss our
proposed System Rate for FY 2015.

Group wants to opt out of paying State Bar dues
LANSING, MI (AP)-- A conservative group is working on legislation to let lawyers opt out of paying mandatory dues to the State Bar of Michigan.
Greg McNeilly of the Michigan Freedom Fund, a proponent of Michigan's right-to-work law, says attorneys should have the same rights as other workers who can choose not to pay union fees. To practice law, lawyers must be in the Michigan bar and pay annually.
McNeilly says attorneys could still be required to pay license fees like other professionals, but they shouldn't be forced to pay dues under a 1935 law.
The dues fund an attorney discipline system, client security fund and other expenses.
The Michigan Freedom Fund, which also wants a right-to-work law for police and firefighters, announced the lawyer legislation at a Republican conference on Mackinac Island.

CHAPMANVILLE — The first time the Chapmanville Regional High School boys' basketball team played Lincoln County this season the Panthers walked away with an eight-point win at Hamlin.
Round 2 came on Tuesday night at Chapmanville.
It would be different this time around.
Much different.
The Tigers had a little payback for the Panthers as Chapmanville crushed Lincoln County 68-36 before a good crowd at the CRHS gym.
Chapmanville, winners of four out its last five games, improved to 5-4 on the season. The Class AAA Panthers dropped to 6-5.
The Tigers trailed Lincoln County early by 3-0 and 3-2 scores then dominated the rest of the game.
Chapmanville led 19-7 after one quarter and then outscored the Panthers 14-9 in the second to take a commanding 33-16 halftime lead.
The Tigers then poured it on in the second half, outpointing Lincoln County 35-20 to set the final score.
Mackenzie Martin and Kenny Plumley led the way for Chapmanville. Martin, a 6-foot-4 center forward/center, poured in a game-high 23 points. Plumley, a 6-3 junior forward, also broke double digits with 22 points.
Plumley also rocked the rim in the first half with a two-handed slam dunk.
Senior guard Michael Hurst and sophomore guard Trey Dalton tallied nine points each, while Austin Kirk had three and Zac Casto two.
T.J. Arbough led Lincoln County with a 13-point effort. Kenny Holton and Chaz Wiley tossed in six points apiece.
Chapmanville first-year coach Allan Hatcher said he was pleased with what he saw.
"We're making some progress, particularly in the last few days," Hatcher said. "I think that we're starting to come along."
Hatcher said Plumley's improved play has given the Tigers a big boost.
"Kenny is really starting to come along for us," Hatcher said. "Kenny has a lot of potential. He's got a great upside to his basketball future. He's a good athlete and he can run, jump and shoot the ball. A lot of people might not have realized that Kenny has not played that much. This is really the first year that's he's really gotten a chance to play a lot. We're excited about him."
Hatcher also praised Martin's performance and the rest of the team for its recent surge.
"Mackenzie really had a great start," Hatcher said. "I think that these guys are starting to understand what we expect of them. When you have a transition it takes awhile. They're starting to understand what we expect. We've got to have tremendous effort in every possession and every time that they come out in every game. We didn't to that over at Scott the other night. I didn't think our effort was real good over there. We broke it down on tape. Tape doesn't lie. Tape tells the truth. We showed what they were doing and now they realize after watching themselves on tape that they weren't playing as hard as they could play. We came out and had a great start (vs. Lincoln County) and the effort was great."
After a fast start by LC it didn't take long for the Tigers to bounce back and bury the Panthers.
A 3-pointer by Hurst made it 5-3 and put Chapmanville on top for good.
Lincoln County then tried to save the ball from a back court violation but Chapmanville's Dalton was there to steal it away and go into the lane for an uncontested layup to make it 7-3 with 4:42 left in the opening quarter.
The rout was on.
After a Plumley hoop in the lane, Martin then took control with three straight buckets to push the Tigers advantage to 17-7.
Hurst added a runner off the window with two seconds left to put the Tigers ahead by a dozen after one.
In the second, it was more of the same.
A 3-point make by Dalton made it 24-8 Chapmanville with 6:07 to go until halftime.
Later on, an inside hoop by Plumley and a Martin topside 3 made it 30-11 CRHS with 4:06 left.
Plumley then gave Chapmanville a little bit of showtime as he stole the ball near midcourt and dribbled in for a rim-rattling dunk to make it a 33-11 ballgame with 3:51 remaining until the break.
The Panthers scored the last five points of the half but trailed 33-16 at halftime.
Chapmanville then dominated the game in the final two quarters and coasted to victory.
The Tigers were 25-for-44 from the floor for 56.8 percent for the game. Lincoln County was just 12-for-46 for an ice-cold 26.1 percent.
Chapmanville was 14-for-23 from the free throw line, while LC was 8-for-12.
CRHS hit on 4-of-11 3-pointers. The Panthers were only 4-for-16 from 3-point land.
Chapmanville also controlled the boards, outrebounding Lincoln County 35-19.
The Tigers are scheduled to return to the hardwood on Saturday night at Sissonville in a Cardinal Conference game. Tipoff is slated for 7:30 p.m.
Chapmanville returns home on Jan. 18 against Wayne in another league contest. During the Wayne game, Chapmanville Regional High School will honor former Hall of Fame basketball coach Joe Ferrell during the game.
Ferrell has passed away but CRHS Athletics Director George Barker said all of the coach's former players are invited to attend in the celebration of the Chapmanville legend.
Chapmanville's JV team lost 53-48 to Lincoln County in Tuesday night's opener.

Jason Davis: Thanksgiving's about the little things
Taking a break from work Friday to recover from Thursday's Thanksgiving feast, my family and I decided to brave the wilds of Dollywood to take in a few Christmas shows and build on the growing anticipation my 4-year-old has for Dec. 25.
I had expected — because of the sheer volume of people that would be shopping on "Black Friday" — that Dollywood's crowds would be thin, and we'd be able to stroll leisurely through the park, riding a few rides and enjoying some shows as we went.
I was wrong.
Apparently Dollywood is among the places to be in Sevier County the day after Thanksgiving.
I'd never seen the place so packed. Of course, to be fair, I usually try to avoid the busy times. It was wall to wall people, which is great for Dollywood, but bad for a guy like me. I tend to get a little testy in crowds, especially when there is leftover turkey in the fridge and football on the television.
Dollywood's staff was wonderful, however. There were smiles all around, and despite the fact that they were working, most exuded the spirit of the season.
We managed to make it into a few shows.
My son was pleased with both "Dollywood's The Christmas Carol" and the "Twas the Night Before Christmas."
I'll say both shows were impressive, although explaining holograms to Rogan became quite an exhaustive experience.
How do you explain the interference of light beams from a laser or other coherent light source forming a three-dimensional image to someone that hasn't even been to Kindergarten?
I settled on, "It's not real," which technically isn't accurate. But he seemed satisfied.
After leaving the park, we went on to Knoxville, where we finished off a day of entertainment at the discount movie theater for a showing of "Despicable Me 2."
It's been in theaters for nearly half a year now, but we were just getting around to it. Rogan's wanted to watch it for a while, but we only decided recently that he was ready to sit through a movie theater showing, and this was just his second trip to a theater.
We enjoyed the movie, especially the parts that made the little guy laugh out loud. There is no sweeter sound to a parent's ears, by the way.
But maybe the best part of the night came later, and it was absolutely free.
After settling in back at home, I got the question exhausted parents — myself included — often dread. "Daddy, will you play with me?"
Looking into those eyes and seeing my son's sincerity, I was able to drag myself off the couch and down the hall to his room, where a traffic jam of Hot Wheels and Matchbox cars awaited.
Though we only played for a few minutes because of the late hour, it may have been the most rewarding part of may day.
I don't know if it's because of the later age at which we became first-time parents, or the many bad things I see because of the industry I work in, but it's become simple to appreciate those little things.
And it's those little things that Thanksgiving is all about.
It's not about the day off from work, which many people don't even have anymore.
It's not about the weekend-long slate of televised football, though I do enjoy that.
It's also not about wonderfully easy carry-out Thanksgiving meal from Cracker Barrel, which means zero hours spent in the kitchen cooking and cleaning messy pots and pans.
Thanksgiving is about family; it's about friends; conversations and games around the dinner table. It's about traditions held throughout generations.
It's about the little things and being thankful to our Creator for making those moments possible.

Kent State Designs First-of-its-kind Graduate Program in FashionPosted Mar. 18, 2013
Kent State University's fashion school is leading the academic runway with the creation of a Master of Fashion degree that is the first of its kind in the nation. The university's Board of Trustees formally approved the path-breaking graduate program on March 13, allowing the university's Shannon Rodgers and Jerry Silverman School of Fashion Design and Merchandising to begin enrolling students for Fall Semester 2013, pending approval by the Ohio Board of Regents.
Kent State's fashion school, which is the largest fashion program in Ohio and one of the largest in the nation, already has earned a widespread reputation for academic excellence, innovation and highly prepared graduates. The popular fashion magazine Fashionista.com ranks Kent State's fashion school third best in the nation and 13th best in the world. In addition, the Ohio Board of Regents designated the school an Ohio Center of Excellence in the state's Strategic Plan for Higher Education.
The new degree program is geared toward professional practice, responding to the fashion industry's growing use of integrated technologies and the trend toward entrepreneurship that spawns small- to medium-sized businesses that manufacture goods locally or within the United States. It is designed for students with undergraduate degrees in fashion merchandising, fashion design or related fields who want to expand their employment options in the $300-billion, global fashion industry. Graduates of the program, who will be able to customize a course of study with a high level of specialization, will be prepared to advance their careers, expand their entrepreneurial opportunities or pursue initial careers in academia.

|Beginner's Guide to Income Taxes for International Postdocs
The IRS makes a distinction between residents and non-residents that can often differ from that made by immigration officials. International visitors are considered residents for income tax purposes after a certain amount of time based on several criteria like their visa status and the time they have been physically present in the country. It's also possible to have dual status for a year when someone would be considered, for example, non-resident for part of a year and resident for the rest of the year, in which case the individual is allowed to decide to file taxes either as resident or non-resident.
The amount of income tax withheld from every paycheck depends on the information reported on Form W-4 when an individual begins employment. Some employers let you decide not to have any withholding and pay taxes on your own, but it takes discipline and good financial knowledge to save the necessary amount of money. Married couples, in case they are considered residents, can file tax reports jointly or separately. The amount of withholding may differ quite a lot and it's worth it to make a decision based on calculating income tax in each case using a tax table.
Although some research institutes may use software systems like Glacier or Cintax to collect financial information in order to expedite the filing of tax reports online, most institutes will provide tax guides, which explain basic terms and organize useful web links to help with submission of tax reports. The interactive online guide and the frequently asked questions on the website of the International Office of The University of Texas at Austin are extensive sources of information for visitors with different kinds of visas from any country. Because giving financial advice is a risky business, many institutes organize seminars where tax lawyers are invited to advise international employees and also to offer their services.
The U.S. has concluded tax treaty agreements affecting nonresident taxpayers from about 50 countries. Treaties generally exempt the income of foreign teachers and researchers for a period of two years, but eligibility may be restricted. View eligibility restrictions. Recipients of scholarships, or other non-taxable incomes, still have to file a tax report even if they don't pay income taxes.
Most of the states have local income taxes, except these seven: Alaska, Florida, Nevada, South Dakota, Texas, Washington and Wyoming, while two others, New Hampshire and Tennessee, tax only dividend and interest income. Non-resident aliens don't have to pay local taxes and Social Security or Medicare taxes, but residents do, despite the fact that they can't use these services and that money can never be recovered.
Paying and reporting your income tax correctly is important not only for the obvious reason of obeying the law, but it will also support your claim if you should apply for an immigrant visa.

Best Movie Theater St. Louis 2003 - The Hi-Pointe Theatre
1005 McCausland Ave.
St. Louis, MO 63117
Readers' Choice: Tivoli Theatre
What the St. Louis cinema scene lacks in screen volume, it makes up for with character. The luxury of the Chase, the ornate majesty and scheduling ingenuity of the Tivoli, the stridently highfalutin art-house standards of Plaza Frontenac, the seamless milieu of old and new at the Esquire -- there is considerable virtue to behold and accolades to bestow around town. But none parallels the icy cool splendor of the 81-year-old Hi-Pointe Theatre. Basking in a blue glow of minimalist chic that extends from its lone screen to the meticulous urinals of the little cowboy's room upstairs, the Hi-Pointe doesn't overplay its cinematic hand. It just plays the hand it's dealt to the highest possible standards, providing a cinematic experience that comes as close as any other to meriting the inflated price of popcorn these days. And it certainly doesn't hurt that there's a charmingly shabby bar bearing the same name next door for the post-flick brain dump.

I'm with you. I got back into m-c racing again after hearing about this phenom 'VR' rompin through the 125's and 250's. My good friend- an Aussie was a big VR fan too, but when CS came onto the scene ,she and I both enjoyed cheering both on and enjoying their battles. We had so much more pleasure than so many 'fans' as it didn't matter who won ! although I must admit to having a wee 'hate-on' or Sete ! But the point is , we need to enjoy what ALL these guys do ( I ride , but only dream of racing ) and respect EVERYONE o them. CS -you've been a blast to watch.!

UK airport operator BAA has rejected a £8.8 billion ($15.45 billion) take-over approach from a consortium led by Spain's Grupo Ferrovial, worth 810p a share in cash, saying it "does not begin to reflect the true value of BAA's unique portfolio of airport assets".
Even though Ferrovial says that it would be willing to increase its offer by "a small increment" in return for BAA agreeing to limited due-diligence access, BAA adds that the "board does not believe it is in shareholders' interests for it to enter into discussions with Ferrovial". Ferrovial counters by stating: "It is the strong preference of the consortium to proceed with the transaction on a recommended basis", indicating that it might make a hostile bid by taking its offer directly to shareholders.
Australia's Macquarie Bank is also understood to be considering an offer. BAA owns and operates seven UK airports, including the three London hubs of Heathrow, Gatwick and Stansted, and has management or retail contracts and stakes in airports in Australia, Hungary, Italy and the USA. ■

Re: Travis Barker
I believe Travis Barker is a fine drummer. I came upon his playing through teaching when students would ask me to teach them his grooves. What I learned was that Travis has a wonderful knack of incorporating elements of ethnic rhythm into his pop/rock grooves. As a teacher I found this very beneficial because it led to discussions with students as to where a rhythm came from. I have the Blink 182 book and find it very useful in my teaching. A teacher must be hip to what is happening today so I listen with interest to what Travis does.
I see no real reason why many people bag him out. Often it seems petty. Perhaps born of jealousy. It is true he is no Buddy Rich, but then who is? The fact remains that Travis Barker plays well, inspires legions of new drummers and does what he does very well. He may be the most successful drummer since Ringo at bringing people to drumming. That is something to be proud of. And it is something to be respected.
I tip my hat to Travis Barker.

Obama blurs line between military and police (via ~ THE GUNNY "G" BLOGS ~)

Webb Files Bill To Ensure Families Can Fly Military Service Flags By Bill Bartel

Webb Files Bill To Ensure Families Can Fly Military Service Flags
By Bill Bartel, The Virginian-Pilot
A seasoned combat veteran is joining the fight against neighborhood associations that try to block families from flying Blue Star or Gold Star service flags when relatives are serving in the armed forces during times of conflict.
U.S. Sen. Jim Webb introduced a bill this week that would prohibit any condominium, housing cooperative or residential association from stopping the flying of the special flags, which is authorized by the Department of Defense. Webb's bill is similar to a House bill – the Blue Star/Gold Star Act of 2010 – that passed that chamber last month without objection.
The House bill was sparked by an incident last year in Ohio in which Marlene Gano was asked by her condo association to take down a Blue Star flag. She displayed it in her window to honor her son who served in Iraq in 1991 and 2003. He was wounded twice.
A Blue Star flag is flown when a family member is serving in the military. A Gold Star signifies that a family member was killed in combat.
"This legislation creates reasonable legal protections to ensure military families can honor their loved ones' service no matter where they live," said Webb, a decorated Marine who was wounded in the Vietnam War.

An alleged Georgia militiaman arrested on federal charges in what authorities describe as a scheme to seize the Monroe County courthouse and make a series of citizen's arrests for treason has been freed pending trial.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Bruce Guyton on Friday ruled that Darren Wesley Huff, 40, of Dallas, Ga., can remain free but under a number of restrictions.
Huff must possess no firearms, wear an electronic monitoring device, have no contact with any potential witnesses or co-defendants, and adhere to several other conditions. The judge set trial for Aug. 2 and scheduled a pre-trial conference for July 27 at 9:30 a.m.

Reviews: FX sitcomes 'Married' and 'You're the Worst' are pretty depressing
FX debuts a couple of really depressing sitcoms on Thursday night. They both have some laughs, but you're not going to come away feel particularly happy.
In Married (11 p.m., FX), Russ (Nat Faxon) and Lina (Judy Greer) are a longtime married couple whose marriage is not going well. They're "miserably married," in their own words.
Russ would like to have sex with his wife. He even dresses up like a vampire, because she likes that kind of thing.
Well, she doesn't like it much. Lina isn't interested, and she gives Russ permission to go find sex elsewhere.
It's not exactly as hilarious as it's supposed to be.
Coincidentally, "Married" and You're the Worst (11:36 p.m., FX) both feature characters snorting cocaine. They both feature characters masturbating. Which is supposed to be funny, but is sort of wildly uncomfortable.
Although uncomfortably funny pretty much sums up "You're the Worst," which begins when Jimmy (Chris Geere) show's up at his ex's wedding and makes a scene.
He hooks up with another wedding guest, Gretchen (Aya Cash), who is sort of the female version of himself. They're both pretty much awful people who begin an awful relationship.
Someday, maybe they'll get married and be just as unhappy as the couple in "Married."

We've heard nothing from Heidi Klum ever since her break-up from Seal. But now she opens up in Elle Magazine's April issue about their shocking split: "But as hard as it is, so is life. And sometimes I think a curveball just comes at you. Instead of something straight that you catch, it hits you in the head from the side that you didn't expect.", the Supermodel and host of Project Runway says.
Heidi and Seal were a couple for seven years. But the two had problems, just like everyone else."To the outside world, you don't really share all the things that happen. You kind of share just the most amazing sides," she explains in Elle. "But I don't really want to get into any of that stuff. With my life, my family, my business -- I want to go forward." Seal has been talking endlessly about their split while promoting is new album."He's a grown man. I can't tell him what to do and what not to do,", she says about his behaviour. "It's hard.". We couldn't agree more, it must be so hard for her! (usmagazine)

BALTIMORE – Manny Machado wasn't in the clubhouse during the time it was open to the media. The Orioles did not make him available to the media at large, but in an interview with MASN Sports, Machado expressed remorse for his actions on Sunday.
Machado was ejected after Oakland Athletics pitcher Fernando Abad threw two pitches close to him. After the second pitch, Machado threw his bat toward third base and was ejected.
"I definitely want to apologize to all my teammates, my coaching staff, the organization and to Oakland, and the fans also, the way I overreacted," Machado said.
"It was a frustrating weekend, and I let my emotions get the best of me."
The Athletics said that Machado did not show any remorse for his backswings that forced catcher Derek Norris to leave the game.
"I want to apologize to Derek. That wasn't intentional. I didn't realize how hard I hit him with the bat," Machado said.
Manager Buck Showalter said it could be another 24 or 48 hours before the Orioles hear if Machado will be suspended.
"It's crossed my mind. We'll wait and see what [MLB] will come up with," Machado said.
[RELATED: Cruz, Wieters maintain All-Star voting leads]
Showalter, who spoke to the media about Machado while the Orioles held a meeting to discuss the situation, said he understood why Oakland had taken particular exception to the backswings.
"I can understand how they would have felt that way," Showalter said.
"Talking to Manny about it, he felt like that with everything going on, they really didn't want to hear that. Manny's had six or seven of those this season. They're not intentional. It's just the way he swings."
Showalter said it was clear that Fernando Abad was brought in the game to throw at Machado.
"It was pretty obvious what Abad was there for," Showalter said.
After Abad and Machado were tossed, Showalter explicitly told T.J. McFarland not to retaliate.
"It's very easy to walk down the bench and tell McFarland to hit somebody. OK? That's easy. It takes more guts to go over there and say, 'no.' I'm not going to be standing at home plate and somebody's gut blood coming upside the ear after an intentional beaning," Showalter said.
Showalter said that the Orioles have made plans in case Machado is lost for a few games.
"You could stick your head in your sand or you could realize there's always that possibility," Showalter said. "There are really not a whole lot of plans you can make. It's not like you can replace a player if that happens."
In less than two years, the 21-year-old Machado has made a great debut in the major leagues, played in the postseason, made wonderful plays in the field, gotten key hits and suffered a serious knee injury. Now, this.
"Manny's had a things thrown at him that he hasn't had in his life. There are some challenges that he's facing he's going to deal with and we're going to help him deal with. I'm hoping in the long run it makes him stronger," Showalter said.

Part-time saxophone teacher John Mason of Cheadle, who is on the sex offenders' register, travelled to Spain without telling police
Posted: June 11, 2014|
A SAXOPHONE teacher on the Sex Offenders' Register travelled to Spain without telling police.
John Barry Mason, aged 69, who will be on the register until December this year, went to Malaga between April 26 and May 1.
Sue Hayers, prosecuting, told North Staffordshire Justice Centre that the pensioner had a duty to notify police of a change of address.
He did not, and police and the UK Border Agency were informed.
She said that Mason had been given a police caution and put on the Sex Offenders' Register for two years in December 2012 when he admitted having extreme pornographic images of sex with animals either dead or alive and causing a child under 16 to watch a sexual act.
Miss Hayers told the court: "It is a requirement of being put on the Sex Offenders Register that he must notify police of any change or address or if he goes abroad.
"The defendant did not and police were alerted to the fact by the UK Border Agency."
Mason, of Moss Lane, Cheadle, admitted failing to comply with the notification requirements under the sex offenders act of 2003. He was fined £260 with £85 costs and a £26 victim surcharge. Hayley Keegan, defending, said her client had admitted he had gone to Malaga.
She said: "He said he had forgotten to notify the police.
"He has been abroad before and there were no problems as he did what he was required to do. This is his first conviction before the court."
