In this article you will read about Barkley, Mark Menendez's dog and companion. He was part of the bass fishing family as well.
I grew up in a week to week family. Some weeks were of seven days, some weeks ended by Thursday. Grilled cheese sandwich and tomato soup weekends.
In this photo gallery you will see images from the 2009 Federation nation championship on Harris Chain of Lakes.
Rolling fronts, chemical spraying and heavy pressure combined to make the final Southern Open on Santee Cooper a tough one. The weights were lower than expected and nearly every angler was frustrated by a slow bite. Still, these three top finishers found a way to haul winning sacks to the scales.
John Duarte Jr. has a big week ahead of him. The 14-year-old aspiring pro bass fisherman has the opportunity to add two big titles to his pro angler resume both in the same day.
I have one of these stories from just about every year I fish, but when I really stop and think about it, a Georgia Top 150 in February of 2000 comes to mind as the best, or worst, depending on how you look at it. This one has the worst sting regardless.
The 2009 Bassmaster Federation Nation Championship presented by Yamaha Outboards and Skeeter Boats on the Harris Chain of Lakes in Tavares, Fla., should test the Federation's best anglers as the chain is known to be fickle at this time of year.
When it comes to bass fishing, Ron Cherkas of Grimes, Iowa, has two lifetime ambitions: to qualify for a Bassmaster Classic and the Bassmaster Elite Series.

Billy Long: Missouri's Tea Party Congressman Has 10th Highest Staff Salary Among Freshmen
Categories: Politics
|Billy Long is a professional auctioneer. So, yes, he knows a thing or two about bidding.
But the freshman Missouri Congressman who famously noted that the his district was Tea Party "before Tea Party was cool" is also one of he biggest spenders among his freshman class of new U.S. representatives.
Billy Long, the Republican who took over the Seventh District seat from Senator Roy Blunt, spent $204,498 outfitting his office staff for the first three months of 2011, making him the tenth-highest paying boss among the House's 92 freshmen representatives. By contrast, Joe Walsh, a conservative newcomer representing the west and north suburbs of Chicago was the most frugal new freshman. He spent just $98,900 on pay to his office staff, according to an analysis by watchdog agency LegiStorm.
To be fair to Congressman Long, he did spend less on staff in the first quarter than the $246,911 that the average member of Congress spent on salary. Then again, freshmen usually spend less than incumbents in the first months of their term as they build up staff. The other Missouri freshman, Vicky Hartzler (R - Fourth District) spent $184,000 on her office staff from January through March.
You can check out what the other six incumbent Missouri representatives spent on salary and how much each of their staffers earned at Legistorm. For the record, JoAnn Emerson (R - Eighth District) spent the most on staff salaries of the Missouri incumbents at $286,0744; Sam Graves (R - Sixth District) spent the least at $207,413.

This is a great product. Coffee tastes far better and has more body when brewed in a press as opposed to a regular slow drip coffeemaker.
One gripe I have about this press is that at only 10 oz. it is a bit too small for a good-sized morning coffee. But you can always brew twice.
I love espresso made with Starbucks coffee in my new tumbler travel press.
. i just take put my Starbucks coffee in and fill with hot water and i am ready to go. Another plus, It takes up less much room on my kitchen counter than my espresso machine
After 2 weeks of working with the kind and amount of beans to use, I am getting close to a great cup of coffee.
The only drawback is not having an easy way to keep the grounds to use for gardening--especially at work.
Overall, I am glad with my purchase .
I purchased this product for traveling. It is the perfect size for one person, and it makes a great cup of coffee!

By Rudi WilliamsAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, June 27, 2001 Equal employment opportunity discrimination complaints can take weeks, months and even years to resolve. In fact, the average life of a complaint can be three to five years. But there is a way to address and resolve workplace disputes within hours: It's called "alternative dispute resolution."
The concept itself is not new, but the Washington Headquarters Service's Alternative Dispute Resolution Program is. The agency formally established the program within the Equal Employment Opportunity Programs Division, Personnel and Security Directorate.
"We hope to encourage customer interest by expanding current use of the ADR program simply because it minimizes an adversarial approach to addressing employee and management concerns," said Renee Coates, assistant division director. "It provides an opportunity for all parties involved in a workplace dispute to make a good-faith effort to try to resolve issues."
Alternative dispute resolution specialist Scott Deyo said ADR allows employees to return to a productive status quickly. That's good for readiness and mission effectiveness, he said, calling ADR a catalyst for better workplace communication. The method is particularly useful when communications between supervisors and employees or among co-workers has broken down or been missing, he noted.
"Alternative resolutions" can include conciliation, facilitation, mediation, fact-finding and arbitration, according to the 1990 Administrative Dispute Resolution Act. The act was reauthorized by Congress in 1996.
"Our administrative instruction, however, will focus on three tenets of ADR -- mediation, facilitation and peer- resolution paneling," Deyo said. "The main process we've been using is mediation, which is usually designed for two parties. The final outcome is usually a binding agreement that's acceptable to both participants.
"We routinely receive feedback that most individuals are pleasantly surprised by how easy it is to address concerns in mediation. Having a third party, who knows nothing about the conflict, makes an incredible and positive difference," he said.
Facilitation is designed to improve communications among groups. Peer panels, composed of five neutral colleagues of the parties involved, decide the outcome of the dispute. In the formal process, one person or regulated body typically is authorized to make decisions.
"In mediation, you find that people want to feel they have a voice among leadership and peers," Coates said. "They are searching for a comfort factor that their concerns matter to managers and colleagues. ADR introduces an avenue to have those concerns heard and hopefully resolved in a matter amenable to everyone."
Deyo said confidentiality and neutrality are critical aspects of ADR. "People need a safe haven to come to and talk about their disputes and conflicts," he noted. "Many of the situations we deal with involve difficult circumstances that employees feel they cannot discuss with their immediate supervisors."
ADR is a completely voluntary, "interest-based" process, he said. This means all parties must agree to participate.
"ADR focuses on the underlying interests and common ground of the people involved in a case. Deep down, I believe people really want to resolve their disputes as early as possible," Deyo continued.
Alternative resolutions allow individuals to address their disputes immediately without restrictions imposed by lengthy regulated processes. Mediations typically take about four hours to conduct, but even some of the more complex cases Deyo said he's seen have lasted only a day.

All we're saying is, it would have been been better for Kristen Stewart if Alex Pettyfer was in negotiations to play an alien warrior she had to disembowel, or an evil wizard hell-bent on seizing control of her kingdom. Or if this casting news had come out on Friday. Instead, we're all reminded of Kristen Stewart's love life and it's recent…unpleasantness yet again today as Variety announces that the I Am Number 4 actor is in negotiations to join the action film Cali…as KStew's boyfriend. On a semi-related note, is it possible to have PTSD from a blog post you yourself wrote only a couple hours ago? We guess there's a first time for everything! Seriously, though: we barely even want to acknowledge all the Robsten drama when writing about Kristen, but how can we not? How can we not?
According to Variety, Kristen and Alex will star in the Nick Cassavetes' flick as "a pair of San Fernando Valley lovebirds…who sell a fake snuff film and ride off with a bundle of cash. Years later, Stewart's character must 'return from the dead' to save the younger sister she left behind." Okay, good. That plot isn't too on the nose after today's news. It's already helping us look forward to a happier new future: a future filled with allegations of Alex Pettyfer/Kristen Stewart on-set feuding! We are 98% certain that's going to happen. you guys. If that guy can't get along with Channing Tatum, he can't get along with anyone!

Waiting for Armageddon
In America, there are about 50-million fundamentalist Christians whose literal interpretation of the Bible leads them to believe that the Second Coming of Jesus is imminent. These devout Evangelicals refer to that eagerly-anticipated reunion as The Rapture, the fateful day on which the faithful will allegedly rise into the sky with their Savior while the rest of humanity is left behind to suffer for another seven years.
Directed by Kate Davis and David Heilbroner, Waiting for Armageddon is an amusing expose' which takes an eye-opening look at the worldview of members of the Evangelical community, focusing particularly on their passionate support of Israel. They say politics makes strange bedfellows, and none might be stranger than the unlikely alliance of Jews and the Religious Right.
For, if I follow what this documentary is suggesting, these Christian Zionists' uncritical backing of Israel emanates not out of a sense of kinship or brotherhood, but is rather based on an eagerness to see World War III erupt in the Middle East region. Still, as unsettling as that philosophy sounds, the couples and ministers profiled in the picture seem likable enough, provided they're not reciting or referring to scriptures, which is rare.

Kim Cattrall offers some kind of awesome advice; just because they're pretty, doesn't mean they're good at the sex. Kim explained, "Everyone expects great-looking guys and beautiful women to be having great sex. That's not true. I always had a sexy image on camera, but I wasn't having a fabulous sex life ... I remember going to bed with a really good-looking 'ladies' man', in the hope he'd teach me what I'd been missing. He didn't." And if anyone would know, Samantha would. [Metro]

Lincolnshire schools awarded for offering healthy meals
Posted: March 19, 2013|
Twelve Lincolnshire schools have been given awards for offering pupils healthy meals.
They were each given the Food for Life Partnership's bronze award at a Doddington Hall ceremony today.
The organisation honoured the schools for "transforming their food culture" and giving children the chance to cook, grow produce and visit farms.
Throughout the day pupils enjoyed a number of activities, including sharing tips of how they had achieved their awards and planting their own fruit.
The schools involved were Bassingham Primary School, Welton St Mary's Church of England Primary School, Birchwood Primary School, North Hykeham All Saints CE Primary School, Chad Varah Primary School, Charles Baines Community Primary School, Digby Primary School, Lincoln Saint Hugh's Catholic Primary School, Lincoln St Faith's Church of England Infant School, Saxilby Primary School, Warren Wood Community School andWashingborough Foundation Primary School.
The scheme has been running in the county for a year.
Ian Howells, head teacher at Bassingham Primary School, said: "Food for Life has been a wonderful stimulus for our school.
"It has broadened our curriculum, enhanced our outdoor education, given a new voice to our pupils and brought some wonderful parents into a very close partnership, genuinely changing our view on food in school."
The Food for Life Partnership programme has been commissioned for a second year by Lincolnshire County Council.

LePage bond veto raises questions from Maine businesses
BRUNSWICK — Gov. Paul LePage has been an outspoken proponent of business-friendly initiatives and economic development.
But when he vetoed of a popular pro-business initiative on the Friday before Memorial Day, he touched off criticism from businesses around the state.
The Legislature gave wide bipartisan support to LD 225, a bill that would have asked voters in November to back a $20 million bond for the Maine Technology Asset Fund.
MTAF, administered by the Maine Technology Institute in Brunswick, has nearly $53 million invested in 35 research and development projects across the state.
In his veto message, LePage cited an unwillingness to increase debt.
"We are using debt to pay operational costs," the governor said. "If the Legislature truly believes we should spend $20 million on research and development, then we should reduce spending elsewhere in the budget and pay for it out of the General Fund."
Business leaders who have benefited from the program say that the money is an investment, not an expense, and suggested that the governor's veto was short-sighted.
"I know no one likes debt, but if you want the harvest, you have to seed," said Martin Grimnes, owner of Harbor Technologies in Brunswick.
Chris Sauer, owner of Ocean Renewable Power Co. in Portland, has said that his company wouldn't exist were it not for the MTAF program.
"Clearly, creating jobs in the future, and investment in research and development are linked. That's well proven," he said on Tuesday. "... You can't reach out and touch it right now, so you have to have vision. You have to have vision about the future."
Kent Peterson, president of Yarmouth's Fluid Imaging Technologies, agreed.
"It is regrettable that investments in the technology space by the State of Maine are being blocked given that investment returns from prior outlays have demonstrable benefits in terms of new, high paying jobs and new company start-ups, both of which Maine desperately needs," said Peterson. "Technology is the one area where Maine can ill afford not to maintain competitiveness if it wishes to remain relevant in the 21st century."
Sauer said the bond is particularly important in the current economy.
"People like me believe that a good public investment is what's needed, a good shot in the arm to the economy," he said.
The Maine Center for Economic Policy is advocating an override of the veto, citing studies that have found that MTAF stimulates the economy.
According to MECEP, Maine realizes $12 in economic benefits from every $1 the state invests in R&D.
Sauer said LePage should allow the people of Maine to decide whether they favor the bond.
"I was disappointed that the governor has decided that the people of Maine shouldn't decide, that the governor decided that it should be his sole decision," he said. "That's the biggest disappointment."
"The governor has abandoned Maine's innovation economy," he said, and urged lawmakers to override the veto.
"Now it's up to the Maine Legislature to act again with bipartisan wisdom and common sense to restore Maine's economic future," he said.
Grimnes said that he and other business leaders will be paying attention to the outcome of the Legislature's attempt to override the veto.
"I think there is a lot of bipartisan support for those activities," he said, "so it will be interesting to see where they end up."
At the same time that he announced the veto, LePage said he was withholding his signature from four other bond initiatives that have been approved by the Legislature. Those bills will go before voters in November.
The Legislature is scheduled to convene on Thursday, May 31, at which time it will consider whether to override the veto of LD 225 and three others.

IRVING — Seven-time Pro Bowl tight end Jason Witten said Saturday he felt "really good" after limited participation in practice, his first in full pads since he suffered a lacerated spleen in the preseason opener.
"I haven't been cleared yet, but I'm doing everything I can to position myself to play," Witten said.
With Witten's status for Wednesday night's opener at the Giants uncertain, the Cowboys claimed tight end Colin Cochart off waivers from Cincinnati for added depth. To make room for Cochart, Dallas released No. 3 quarterback and Texas A&M alum Stephen McGee.
Witten is expected to be examined soon. A scan of his spleen last week showed healing, but doctors didn't give him the OK for full contact.
In a conference call with the New York media, coach Jason Garrett said Witten "was out there for a portion" of the workout.
Asked if there's a chance he will play, Witten said, "I hope so. Obviously, it's beyond just me." Witten said if he does play, he will wear added protection.
The Giants cast a skeptical eye at speculation Witten would miss only the second game in his 10-year career.
"I wouldn't be surprised if he picked up his spleen, held it in his hand and tried to run routes," tight end Martellus Bennett, who was Witten's backup in Dallas the past four years, told reporters.
The release of McGee came shortly after Garrett told reporters: "We like having three quarterbacks on our roster."
The last time Dallas started a season with only two quarterbacks on its roster was 2008, when Brad Johnson backed up Tony Romo. McGee, in the final year of the deal he signed in 2009 after Dallas drafted him in the fourth round, accepted the news with grace.
"Thankful for my time in Dallas and the opportunity to meet many wonderful people. God is doing some cool things in this city. Press on," McGee wrote on Twitter.
The addition of Cochart, 25, gives the Cowboys four tight ends on the roster. If Witten is out, John Phillips would start and be backed up by rookie James Hanna.
The 6-foot-4, 253-pound Cochart played in 10 games as a rookie last season, catching five passes for 44 yards and a TD.
As expected, receivers Miles Austin (hamstring) and Dez Bryant (knee) returned to practice. Garrett told the New York media in a conference call that Austin practiced "most extensively."
Dallas expected cornerback Mike Jenkins (shoulder) and nose tackle Jay Ratliff (ankle) to practice Saturday, but Garrett said the two were limited to "working on the side."
Giants coach Tom Coughlin all but ruled out cornerback Prince Amukamara (ankle) for the opener.

DALLAS (AP) A new Big Tex has a new voice. But the State Fair of Texas isn't ready to disclose whose pipes will provide that voice.
Fair officials announced Thursday that the voice talent has been chosen for the fair's iconic animated cowboy statue. Spokeswoman Sue Gooding says the talent's identity won't be revealed until the fair's opening day Sept. 27.
Gooding says the winner was chosen from among 111 applicants and four finalists.
A new Big Tex is being fabricated after the previous statue burned down to its metal skeleton in the last week of the fair's 2012 run in October. The fair dismissed longtime Big Tex voice Bill Bragg earlier this year after a contract dispute.

NORCROSS — City leaders voted to proceed with plans to annex Carmax on Beaver Ruin Road, pending approval of a sign requirement by the city's Architectural Review Board.Carmax requested the annexation in January, citing the car dealership's desire to erect a 130-foot-tall sign to improve visibility from Interstate 85 as one of the reasons for the request. Gwinnett County had advised the business that a 130-foot-tall sign, 300 square feet in size, is not approved under Gwinnett's unified plan. Chris McCrary, Norcross' community development director, stated during Monday's city council meeting that county leaders bent the rules for sign height and size in other areas in the county, such as Mall of Georgia and the Arena at Gwinnett Center. The annexation was approved by city council vote, pending the Review Board's approval of the Carmax sign requirements. City property demolitions approved Three city-owned properties were put on the block for demolition Monday. The first, located at 54 Jones St., was the old public works building. While the building itself was not a historic structure, it is located in the city's historic district. Connie Weathers, representing Sustainable Norcross, asked the council to allow the organization to go into the building and reclaim and recycle any suitable materials. According to city manager Rudolph Smith, city staff members have already begun removing doors, bricks, windows and any other items identified by Weathers as usable by the Norcross Arts Alliance and Sustainable Norcross. A demolition permit was issued for 54 Jones St. Asbestos abatement must take place before the entire structure is demolished. The two structures at 183 N. Cemetery Street/183 Bostic Street and 111 Cemetery Street were also cleared for demolition, but the city's built-in protections for historic structures apply to these two properties. Anyone can come forward within a minimum of 180 days to suggest other appropriate, reasonable uses for the two structures. Councilman David MCLeroy added that a buyer can also move the structures if desired. Should demolition take place, Sustainable Norcross and the Arts Alliance will also be allowed to reclaim/reuse any materials in the buildings identified as recyclable. Weathers said that Sustainable Norcross, by reusing materials in these and other structures to be demolished, can earn points toward receiving the Atlanta Regional Commission's Gold Level Certification for Green Communities.

Action Alert - Now the FDA Is Going After Vitamin C!
January 6, 2011 Dave Wetzel See all 1 Comments
Below article highlights the direction we have been headed for the past 30+ years. In the early 70's we changed the labeling laws to allow for imitation foods to no longer have the word imitation highlighted on the label. during this same period we changed our medical payment plan focus from a pay as you go system to insurance then the tax payer insurance (shifting the burden to a shared system then to a shared on future generations system...isn't sharing wonderful!) . Both of these policy changes occured during the Nixon years.
We keep emailing and faxing our fearless representatives...the problem is beyond any one singe issue and faxing and emailing will not stem the tide.
Action Alert — Now the FDA Is Going After Vitamin C!WE NEED TO CONTACT CONGRESS --- and tell them to rein in the FDA!!'The FDA has just notified small pharmacies that they will no longer be allowed to manufacture or distribute injectable vitamin C —despite its remarkable power to heal conditions that conventional medicine can't touch. Please help reverse this outrageous decision!Let's get this straight. The government acknowledges the risk of a worldwide flu pandemic. It acknowledges that conventional drugs cannot cure big viruses-like the mononucleosis and hepatitis viruses, many influenza viruses, and many others. It acknowledges that many bacteria have become resistant to antibiotics and are killing increasing thousands. It acknowledges the risk of a worldwide drug-resistant TB pandemic.Despite acknowledging all this, it now insists on wiping out one of the best potential treatments for these conditions and for certain cancers as well. And why is this being done? What possible rationale is offered?Because it's dangerous? No. Because it can't be patented and therefore won't be taken through the standard FDA approval process. No matter that vitamin C is one of the least toxic components of our food supply and liquid forms of it have been used safely for decades.'http://www.davidicke.com/headlines/42975-action-alertnow-the-fda-is-going-after-vitamin-c-------------------------WE NEED TO CONTACT CONGRESS --- NOT THE FDA !!!!!FDA DOESN'T CARE WHAT WE THINK!!!CONGRESS NEEDS TO STOP THE FDA -BY ANY AND ALL MEANS POSSIBLE!http://www.anh-usa.org/action-alert-now-the-fda-is-going-after-vitamin-c/

Sims Group USA began its operations in 1988 through the acquisition of various scrap-related assets of LMC Corporation, one of the West Coast's largest scrap metal processors and exporters. LMC's 50-year history of operations in the US began as a salvage and machine company, adding products, services, and facilities throughout Northern California as the demand for recycled products grew throughout the 60's and 70's. Later, LMC added retail facilities to sell new and reusable metal and hardware products.
Today, we operate public recycling centers, scrap processing facilities and Mill Services in the United States. Locations in California also recycle consumer glass, plastic, and aluminum cans. As part of the worldwide Sims Group, the company maintains a network of equipment, facilities, transport, and communications that turn unwanted consumer items and industrial scrap into raw materials for manufacturing operations around the world.
We realize the importance of being a good neighbor. That's why, in each community where we are located, we make special efforts at reducing the noise and visual impact of our operations. Each Simsmetal facility participates in charitable organizations in its community. Through service groups, youth sports teams, hospital charities, and other events, Simsmetal is working to create a partnership with the people who live and work near our recycling centers. We think this kind of cooperation benefits us all.
Simsmetal actively supports the protection of the environment and the role the recycling industry plays in conserving natural resources. Every day, our products and our people have a measurable positive impact on the environment.

"Dental Bonding for "Fang-like" Teeth..."
I recently had some dental bonding done on two "fang like" teeth. Very happy with the results. Don't know why I waited so long to do this!!
My dentist basically just "softened" the two teeth, which diminished the sharpness to them. The whole procedure took about 30 minutes and it was painless.

1. Cincinnati (3-0, 1-0). The Bearcats now have wins over Virginia Tech and Pittsburgh, which was the first team to knock off the Hokies. That's enough, in our book, for the Bearcats to own the top spot.
2. Louisville (5-0, 0-0). There was nothing easy about the Cardinals' victory in monsoon-like conditions at Southern Miss. It'll be nice to dry out over the bye week before a big test on Oct. 13 at Pittsburgh.
3. Rutgers (4-0, 1-0). Let's scroll through the Scarlet Knights' next five opponents: UConn, Syracuse, Temple, Kent State and Army. Is there any reason Kyle Flood's team can't be 9-0 heading into the stretch run?
4. Pittsburgh (2-2, 0-1). The Panthers absolutely own Syracuse, having won seven straight in the series, so Friday's road game might not be that stern a test. We wouldn't mind seeing another exciting finish like the one we got the last time the Orange beat Pitt, a double-overtime classic in 2004.
5. Connecticut (3-2). The Huskies are stuck in the middle of the pack—as you'd expect a team with the league's best defense but perhaps its worst offense to be.
6. USF (2-3, 0-1). Three straight losses now for the Bulls, who know a thing or two about a promising season going bad. At least they gave a competitive effort on Saturday vs. Florida State.
7. Syracuse (1-3). The Orange have dropped close games to three teams—Northwestern, USC and Minnesota—that are a combined 12-2. It's get-over-the-hump time on Friday vs. Pittsburgh, which has beaten the Orange seven straight years.
8. Temple (1-2). The Owls are ranked dead last in the league in both total offense and total defense. Other than that, they're absolutely killing it.

Girls Gone Wild Wins Lawsuit: St. Louis Woman Claimed Video Damaged Reputation
Categories: Bars, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels
|Hey, if Teen Wolf deserved a sequel, why not Sorority Girls Orgy, too?
A Missouri woman learned this the hard way yesterday when a St. Louis jury dismissed her claim that producers of the video damaged her reputation when someone yanked her tank top down exposing her breasts. The incident later appeared in the DVD Girls Gone Wild Sorority Orgy.
The woman -- identified in trial only as Jane Doe -- was 20 back in May 2004 when producers of the video arrived at the former Rum Jungle nightclub in Laclede's Landing. Now 26, and the mother of two children, the woman says she was mortified when a friend of her husband's called to inform him that he'd just witnessed his topless wife in the video. (Oh, to have eavesdropped on that conversation!)
So, the woman sued for $5 million in damages. Video shot that night showed the plaintiff dancing in front of the camera moments before her shirt was pulled down.
"Through her actions, she gave implied consent," jury foreman Patrick O'Brien told the Post-Dispatch yesterday after the conclusion of the three-day trial. "She was really playing to the camera. She knew what she was doing."
Jane Doe's attorney, Stephen Evans, disagreed: "She is entitled to go out with friends and have a good time and not have her top pulled down and get that in a video."
UPDATE: Check out our interviews here with of both attorneys in the Girls Gone Wild debate and a review of the actual film in question.

The Chronicle staff elects Kandimalla to be next editor
The staff of The Chronicle elected sophomore Yeshwanth Kandimalla as editor-in-chief of the newspaper's 108th volume.
Kandimalla was elected Friday to succeed Editor Sanette Tanaka, a senior, for a one-year term at the helm of the student-run, independent daily newspaper. He will also serve as president of the Duke Student Publishing Company, Inc., which publishes The Chronicle. Kandimalla will officially assume the role of editor in May.
As editor, Kandimalla will lead a staff of approximately 200 student reporters, editors, photographers, layout designers and other contributors. He will also be responsible for the newspaper's content and serve as the public face of The Chronicle.
In his platform, Kandimalla pledged that as editor, he will improve the online presence of The Chronicle.
"We have a great new website that is more in line with where news organizations are headed," he said. "It would be a waste for Volume 108 to not capitalize on it, take it further and make us a fully functioning news organization. We have a really strong print edition every day, and I want us to have a really stellar website on a daily basis."
Kandimalla, an economics major from Alpharetta, Ga., currently serves as Local and National Editor in the News department of The Chronicle. Tanaka said she believes Kandimalla will excel as her successor.
"Throughout his two years at The Chronicle, Yeshwanth has grown so much as a journalist and as a leader," she said. "I'm really looking forward to working with him this semester and helping him develop the skills that he's going to need to manage the paper next year."
As a freshman, Kandimalla joined The Chronicle as a Local and National staff writer and was promoted to co-editor of that department last May.
The editor-in-chief oversees the journalistic endeavors of The Chronicle and also works with the general manager on the business side of the publishing company. Since March 2011, Kandimalla has worked as an external affairs associate in the office of The Chronicle's Director of External Relations David Rice, fundraising and interacting with Chronicle alumni.
"It's given him an understanding of how The Chronicle has expanded its fundraising program and its workings with alumni," Rice said. "He's been very conscientious and a hard worker, and I think he'll do a great job."
Kandimalla's experience with the business structure of The Chronicle, his journalistic ability and his attitudes toward growing The Chronicle's online presence make him a triple threat as Chronicle editor-in-chief, said David Graham, vice-chair of the Duke Student Publishing Company's board of directors.
"The Chronicle Editor is arguably the most influential student on campus," said Graham, associate editor at The Atlantic and The Chronicle's editor during its 103rd volume. "The editor of The Chronicle shapes campus opinion and shapes what students know."
Senior Caroline Fairchild, who is co-editor of the Local and National department with Kandimalla, said she is his biggest fan after seeing how he manages their department.
"I've been amazed at how he has grown as a reporter-writer and really is a journalistic visionary," Fairchild said. "Yeshwanth has all the leadership skills necessary for a successful editor-in-chief. I've watched him manage our department, increase the size of our staff and inspire our entire team every day to produce great work. Now he can amplify what he's done with Local and National to the paper itself."
Correction: This article has been updated to reflect the fact that the editor-in-chief oversees the journalistic endeavors of The Chronicle and also works with the general manager on the business side of the publishing company.

Service and volunteer opportunities can be found on the Campus Ministry Blackboard Site (you must be enrolled by contacting Sr. Mindy), the Volunteer/Service Blackboard Site, our Facebook, and on Planga.
St. Francis Inn
This is a soup kitchen at which the persons who are helped are seated at a table of four and actually served dinner. This provides dignity to those who are in need of help during economic crisis and who are just really down. Our students help in the kitchen and serving of food. We provide this service opportunity twice a month. http://www.stfrancisinn.org/
Our Mother of Sorrows/St. Ignatius Elementary School
This will be a new adventure for us as we work with the Principal of the school, an SSJ sister, in projects that will include tutoring, after school activity, small projects, and other opportunities as they arise.
Our Mother of Sorrows
Our Mother of Sorrows is a soup kitchen where CHC students serve hot meals to those who need them most. This is an opportunity to serve your fellow man and put a smile on the face of someone who could really use it. We provide this service opportunity twice a month. http://www.omsalumni.org/
Serving and Leading Together is a community of students who desire to make a personal commitment to service and reflective practice. Any student who is volunteering, in any capacity, is welcome to be a part of this group. Our only hope is to create a greater desire to serve and learn from one another and our experiences. Each individual will covenant to serve so many hours according to her/his schedule and to join in on the community gatherings of S.A.L.T. to share in what was felt, learned or what is happening in their field of giving. We hope that this will enable us to become more educated about injustices and to work together for systemic change. For more information, contact Campus Ministry or firstname.lastname@example.com (Kait Ryan), email@example.com (Kristin Kirsch)
"Please Be Jenerous" (PB & J) is a service centered through making peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for shelters in need of food for others. Most recently, we have been making sandwiches for Our Mother of Sorrows Parish Lunch program. This is normally done twice a month in the cafeteria and it has to be one of the most convenient ways to help serve others. Sports teams, Extra-curricular clubs, SSJ Associates, Campus Ministry Team, and Academic Departments sign up to provide the bread, peanut butter and jelly and the many hands to make approximately 400 sandwiches per month. Sr. Nancy Roche, SSJ certainly appreciates the ability to not only serve a hot lunch throughout the week but also provide something to give to the lunch participants for a meal later on in the day. She says that everyone just love it! For information on giving PBJ a go with your group, contact: Campus Ministry or Meg Davis (email@example.com)
We are hoping to connect with the local chapters of Habitat for Humanity to become more involved in this project. We will update our various sites and e-mail students as the opportunities arise.
We will be setting up, in the near future, (Fall of 2012) a group willing to visit with the Sisters of St. Joseph who are now residing at St. Joseph Villa. We will work with the Pastoral Care Team, Supervisor and others who will offer training and a tour. Students, faculty and/or staff will be able to partner with a Sister and visit her on their own scheduled time.

Re: Crysis[PC] vs. Uncharted[PS3]
The problem is that once you crank the graphics up on Crysis to where it spanks anything out there, it crawls. Jonelo can post all these candid shots he wants to, but I have played that game on an overclocked, watercooled Ultra, and it still crawls when you have action on-screen and are in wide-open areas with sunlight effects.
There's a lot of misrepresentation going on here... too many with a boner for Crysis and little interest in sticking to the facts. Even with 3 Ultras and hardly any AA/AF enabled, Crysis will slow all the way down to 14fps in some areas. Given the below, imagine what it does on a single card... actually, it shows it. 4 fps. On an 8800 Ultra.

Sofia Vergara Gets Colorful Makeover From Ellen DeGeneres (VIDEO)
Sofia Vergara may be one of the most beautiful women in the world, but even she looks a little scary (and hilarious) when Ellen DeGeneres douses her face in Cover Girl makeup...from behind her.
Confused? On Ellen's show, the Modern Family star — who, along with Ellen, is a Cover Girl spokesperson — gamely agreed to give the audience a makeup lesson with Ellen. The catch: Ellen would apply Sofia's makeup while standing behind her.
As Sofia read from Ellen's dopey script, Ellen applied purple eyeshadow to Sofia's cheeks, lipstick to her chin, and foundation to only one side of her face. But how much more do you love Sofia after seeing how easily she transforms from supermodel to superfreak?

Muscular symmetry is paramount to staying injury free, and you should always exercise muscles on the left and right sides of the body—as well as the back and front—similarly. However, when it comes to synchronizing the downswing and creating clubhead speed, a key ingredient is generating good internal hip rotation on your dominant side (right hip for right-handed swingers). What does having good internal hip rotation mean? If you're sitting as you read this, with your butt on the edge of the chair and feet on the floor about shoulder-width apart, you should be able to touch your left knee to your right and vice versa—or at least come very close—without having to move the other leg inward.
Although much of the lower body is active at the start of the downswing, rotating the right hip internally, meaning toward the target, is often cited by golf instructors as the key move if you want to hit solid shots. If you can fire that right hip toward the target as you start down, it's going to cure a host of swing flaws including poor timing and swing path. So how do you train your right hip? The folks at SuperFlex Fitness (@superflexfit), trainer Dave Herman and golf instructor Andrew Park (@theandrewpark), have developed a cool way to do it using a stretch band while you work on your swing.The concept is make you work harder to rotate the hip and really feel what it has to do through resistance.
Watch the video below to see Andrew and one of his students demonstrate it.
And if you're interested in more ways to improve your swing using flex bands, their SuperFlex Golf Swing Kit ($69.95) comes with a variety of bands and how-to instructions. You can buy it at superflexfitness.com. A single band costs $5 to $36 depending on thickness and function.

Business Briefs
Biotech center president stepping down
DURHAM -- Norris Tolson, president and CEO of the N.C. Biotechnology Center, announced Wednesday that he will leave that post, effective June 30.
The center's board of directors will begin a search for Tolson's successor, according to a news release.
"North Carolina is earning more and more recognition as a best practice for development of the life-science sector," said John Atkins, chairman of the NCBiotech Board of Directors and chairman and CEO of O'Brien/Atkins Associates in the Research Triangle Park. "That is thanks to the vision of Norris Tolson."
Tolson took the role in July 2007. According to the release, his leadership emphasized statewide growth of the life science industry, investment in North Carolina's life-science companies, and faster creation of biotech's high-paying jobs.
He created an economic development division at the center, expanded loan programs for small companies and added support programs to meet changing industry needs. In 2009, he launched the Ag Biotech Initiative, which pairs the state's largest economic engine with the tools of biotechnology.
The biotech sector is estimated to employ 60,000 people at more than 600 locations statewide.
Before working at the center, he was an executive with E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company. He retired from DuPont in 1993 and returned to North Carolina. He served in the state legislature from 1994-1997 and then in three cabinet positions. Prior to leading the center, he served on the organization's board and the executive committee.

Arkin takes bulk of snaps at center
With Phil Costa and Ryan Cook nursing injuries, David Arkin took most of the snaps at center in Wednesday's practice, Cowboys coach Jason Garrett said Thursday morning. According to Wednesday's the practice report, Costa (knee) was limited and Cook (hamstring) was out. "We will just see their health as the week progresses," Garrett said at […] [Read More]
Orton as Newton? It's no laughing matter for Cowboys
The Cowboys will face a handful of mobile quarterbacks the rest of the way, beginning with Cam Newton on Sunday at Carolina. Unfortunately for the Cowboys, they don't have a backup quarterback that can simulate in practice Newton's athleticism or that of Philadelphia's Mike Vick, Washington's Robert Griffin III or Pittsburgh's Ben Roethlisberger. "I think […] [Read More]
Will Bernadeau be at his best again Sunday?
Cowboys right guard Mackenzy Bernadeau likely arrived in Baltimore last week with his starting job on the line. To his credit, he rose to the occasion, notching what Jason Garrett said was his best game of the season, an effort that helped Dallas run for 227 yards. Considering he'll be facing his former team, Bernadeau […] [Read More]
Jones-Tanner rotation expected to fuel Cowboys' run game Sunday
Jason Garrett is confident the foot injury that sidelined DeMarco Murray won't result in the Dallas Cowboys' rejuvenated running game grinding to a halt at Carolina this weekend. Sparked by Murray's 13-carry, 90-yard rushing effort in the first half, the Cowboys amassed 227 yards in Sunday's 31-29 loss at Baltimore. Dallas entered the game near […] [Read More]
Garrett not ready to receive help calling plays
The subject of whether Jason Garrett can handle both his play-calling and head-coaching duties is once again a hot topic after he mismanaged the crucial final 26 seconds in the Cowboys' 31-29 loss at Baltimore. Although Garrett said he's "absolutely" open to considering receiving help from offensive line coach Bill Callahan, who has experience as […] [Read More]

This is the first transcription of a document from the papers of Maria Lee Palmer Smith (1844-1931), my husband's great-grandmother. It is an undated record of her parent's family in Maria Lee's handwriting. Punctuation, format and spelling are retained from the original, though line breaks have been altered.
James A Palmer and Margaret M. Meredith of Lancaster County – Va. were married the 16th day of May 1842 by the Rev. John B. Randamne (sp?) at the Eutaw House Baltimore Md.
" "
An infant girl born dead In April 1843 at 1 o'clock of Margaret M. and James A. Palmer.
Maria Lee second daughter of Margaret M. and Jas. A. Palmer born Saturday the 9th day of March 184
John Thomas Armstead son of James A and Margaret M. Palmer born Wednesday the 21st day of Jan – 1846 –
Died on the 14th day of December 1847 James A. Palmer youngest son of Col Armste
ad J. Palmer
Died on the 21st of July 1889 at Clifton Lancaster Co. Va Margaret M. Palmer aged 65 years –____________
Note: This document includes the first references I have seen to another child (the stillborn daughter), to "Thomas" as another given name for Maria Lee's brother, and to the description of her father as the "youngest son". The last is of particular interest, since all the records I have seen to-date give no clues to any other children, something I have found puzzling. Since her grandfather's will names only the one son, perhaps other children died before adulthood.

A missing Minnesota native's remains have been found near a cabin in Colorado, according to the Wheat Ridge Police Department.
Police say the remains of Leann "Annie" Meyer were found in Park County around 7 p.m. Thursday.
Meyer is from St. Peter, Minn., and went missing in Colorado back in February.
Wheat Ridge Police Department Investigations Commander Dave Pickett said his department was contacted Monday after the Park County Coroner saw an entry in a statewide database that lists missing persons and made the connection between the remains and the Meyer case.
The cause of death has not yet been determined. Pickett said the remains were found in a very rural area and that there had been "significant animal activity."
"We recognize this has been difficult and a trying time for Annie's family," Wheat Ridge Police Chief Dan Brennan said. "On behalf of the Wheat Ridge Police Department, the city and the community, we would like to express our heartfelt condolences to the family of Annie Meyers. The family remains in our thoughts and prayers as we continue this investigation."
Police say they wanted to question Meyer's roommate but she has refused and obtained a lawyer.

A Good Head for Business
Griffiths, Jenni, Teaching Business & Economics
Business subjects have increased in popularity over the years and there have been many efforts to make the subject accessible to a larger number of students, many of whom may be of middle or low ability. But what of the higher achiever who arrives in the classroom? What can be done to identify and challenge students with a head for business?
There are many definitions of "the gifted and talented learner" within education. Generally, gifted students are deemed to be the top 5-10 per cent of the pupil population of a school, capable of demonstrating higher levels of academic performance, either in one subject or across many areas.
Talented students on the other hand have specific aptitudes, such as excellent physical or creative abilities. In our school, we extend this definition to include students with outstanding leadership skills and/or a social awareness that enables them to work effectively with a wide range of people. Could these students be the entrepreneurs of tomorrow?
What do these twin definitions mean for business studies education? The national curriculum subjects have subject-specific guidance for teaching gifted or talented students but we do not. Our department devised its own guidelines and came up with two distinct lists (see panels) that typified gifted and talented students within the business classroom.
The challenge
Our next step was to compare these attributes with the students in front of us. Armed with our own experience, plus the plethora of cognitive data that is provided for us, we concluded that:
only a few students exhibited characteristics from both lists
those who demonstrated entrepreneurial capabilities were often middle-high ability rather than the brightest students
some low-ability students demonstrate outstanding leadership or team working skills
some of the brightest students lacked entrepreneurial attributes.
Given that these subsets exist, our challenge is to motivate both the gifted and the talented in groups at GCSE and A level that are largely mixed ability in nature.
Closer inspection of our own practice revealed a tendency to teach to the middle and use teaching styles that helped engage the low achiever or disaffected. We find that our students respond well to learning activities that are based on role plays, presentations, mini enterprises and decision-making exercises. Students are given many opportunities to be creative, and they demonstrate their learning in nontraditional ways and are frequently invited to take part in extracurricular enterprise events.
Students enjoy their experiences, generally perform well in the exams (but obtain mainly B and C grades rather than A/A*) and respectable numbers opt for business courses in the sixth form. Consequently we reflected that we were probably quite good at developing the entrepreneurial talents of students. But were we catering effectively for the most able?
Focus groups
To gain a better understanding of how the more able students felt about their business education, we organised focus groups of students in years 10 and 11. We wanted to find out how they perceived the subject, what they enjoyed and disliked, and most importantly to identify how we could stretch them so that that they not only achieved A/A* grades, but also developed enterprise capabilities at the same time.
The study revealed that the most able chose business at GCSE because they believed that it is perceived by employers to be a "useful" subject. They took it seriously, believing it to be an option for "smart people" who "want to get on". They thought it had status, that it would be hard work with "serious content" but also different, fun, interesting and enjoyable.
Having started to study business they all agreed that it was not as difficult as they first believed and that the group activities, presentations, computer-based and research-type tasks were really enjoyable. …
