Poison prevention services are readily available
West Virginia Poison Center is recognizing Poison Prevention Week with a reminder of the services that the agency provides.
The agency can answer questions about: accidental poisonings of children and adults; drug overdoses; bites and stings; adverse drug reactions, medication errors; exposure to chemicals (home or industrial); poisoning of animals; chronic lead poisoning; plant or mushroom ingestion; and poisonings from drugs of abuse.
The agency also suggests these tips to keep children away from potentially poisonous materials:
MEDICINE: Prescription medications, non-prescription medications (those purchased "over-the-counter"), herbal medications, neutraceuticals, and vitamins can all be dangerous if used improperly. They can also be dangerous if a child eats them. If the medicine has not been used for a while, it is easy to forget that they are even in the house. Medications that are forgotten about are often left unsecured. In addition, a child may be allowed to play in an area that the caregiver forgot contained unused medication.
If the medicine is no longer needed, dispose of it properly. If medicine must be in the home for use, keep a regular inventory of the medications and store them away from children.
HOUSEHOLD PRODUCTS: Many homes contain closets or cabinets full of household cleaners and products that are rarely if ever used. The more cleaners and products that are in the home, the more likely it is that a child will find a way to get into it. As with unused medications, it is the unused household items that one often forgets is within a child's reach or in the area they are playing.
If you don't use the product, dispose of it or give it to someone who will use it (in its original container of course!). If it isn't in the home, a child cannot eat it.
The Poison Center is available The WVPC is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week by calling 1-800-222-1222. Calls are answered by health professionals.

Alcohol Use
Only those students 21 years and older may possess and consume wine and/or beer, and then only in the privacy of a 21-year old or older student's room if all those present in the room are also at least 21 years of age. Distilled spirits are prohibited. Alcoholic beverages may be consumed only in individual rooms while the room door is closed and may not be consumed in hallways, stairways, elevators, lounges, or any other public area of the residence hall. Individuals should make their guests aware of all aspects of the alcohol policy. Students under legal drinking age, whether personally consuming or not, in rooms where alcohol is being consumed will be subject to disciplinary action. Empty alcohol containers are NOT permitted for decorative purposes in any student rooms or public areas. Alcohol in open containers is not permitted in any outside area adjacent to the residence halls
Students who have been dismissed or have withdrawn from the University must vacate their rooms within 24 hours from the time of official dismissal or withdrawal. Personal items remaining after that time will become property of the University.
Drug Policy
Millikin University prohibits the possession, use, or distribution of illegal drugs on the campus property or on institutionally owned, leased, affiliated or otherwise controlled property. Millikin University permits the use of alcohol, but only insofar as such use is permitted by, and in accordance with, the University's Alcohol Policy and state and federal law. Students found in violation of the above policy will be subject to disciplinary action up to and including dismissal from housing and/or the University. Patterns of suspicious behavior that lead University officials to believe violation(s) of the University Drug Policy have taken place will also result in disciplinary action and may compound student disciplinary action. Students should be reminded that smoking of any kind is expressly prohibited in campus facilities.
Fire Safety Regulations and Explosives
The use of a fire extinguisher or other fire protection equipment for other than its intended purpose will automatically result in a $50 fine, plus the cost of recharging or replacing the extinguisher. You will also be referred for judicial and possible legal action.
Guests and Visitation
Millikin University permits students living in residence halls to have guests of the opposite gender visit their rooms. Any students assigned to a residence hall may host a guest or visitors in his or her room in a manner consistent with the visitation policy. All guests must abide by the rules and regulations of residence halls and the University. Any violations of these policies may result in the guest being asked to leave and disciplinary action initiated against the host or hostess.
General Visitation Rules
I. During open visitation, a community shall be open to members of the opposite gender only if invited and escorted by a resident of the community. The host or hostess must escort the guest at all times.
II.Host/hostess and guest must adhere to the following communityrestroom and shower policies.
A. At all times, members of the opposite gender must be escorted to and from the restroom facility by their host or hostess.
B. The rights of the community members to use restroom facilities shall take precedence over their use by guests of the opposite gender. To ensure these rights:
C. Showers may not be used by members of the opposite gender at any time.
III. Residents may host a guest for no more than three days in a ten-day period, providing the roommate agrees. The visitation policy applies to guests and students. As the host, we encourage you to inform your guest of our policy prior to the visit and make other accommodations if necessary. Guests staying beyond three days will be considered to be cohabitating, and both the host and the guest may be subject to judicial action.
IV. The Office of Residence Life reserves the right to distinguish between a visiting guest and actual residency. A guest making unusually frequent visits will be considered to be cohabiting, and both the host and the guest may be subject to judicial action.
V. Consideration for the privacy and rights of roommates in each room will be given priority. A roommate may not be denied access to his or her room at any time and may, in effect, declare the room off limits for any open visitation. Violation of the roommate's rights of privacy will be considered a major violation of the policy, and the offending party may be referred for disciplinary action.
VI. Hosts will be responsible for the actions of their guest(s).
The University has set maximum visitation hours as 10 a.m. to 1 a.m., Monday through Friday and 24-hour visitation on the weekends, beginning at 10 a.m. Friday until 1 a.m., Monday. Only during these hours may residents entertain guests in their rooms with prior permission from their roommates. (Guests are defined as non-residents of the hall or residents of a floor housing other gender.) At all times guests must be in the presence of a resident who is acting as host. Apartments have a maximum of 24-hour visitation.
Each hall, floor or housing unit, through a floor meeting, may establish visitation hours that are less than the maximum allowed. The unit may establish new visitation hours through a formal vote, with a simple majority showing support of the proposed hours. This vote must be conducted at a floor meeting or an all-hall meeting. Each floor or living unit will submit to their Area Coordinator a written statement of their policy if it differs from the maximum hours allowed. Residents may also establish procedures for assuring the privacy and security of their peers.
This policy is NOT an open-visitation policy. An individual must be a personally invited guest and in the presence of a resident who is acting as host. In other words, all non-residents must be escorted anywhere within the living unit they are visiting. Failure to comply with the escort policy as stated in the student handbook will result in disciplinary action.
Students may establish procedures for maintaining order and may accept the responsibility of admonishing and confronting violators of the guest visitation policy. The Area Coordinator must approve these procedures and sanctions.
Public lounges in residence halls are open to residents and escorted visitors on a 24-hour basis. The intent of this policy is to provide opportunity for individual students to study, converse and socialize after the 1 a.m. visitation hours during the week.
Quiet Hours Guidelines
One of the primary rights of students in residence halls is the right to study in one's room free from unreasonable interference. Thus, noise and other distractions that inhibit the exercise of this right are strictly prohibited.
Parameters established by the Office of Residence Life are as follows:
Courteous behavior - Courteous behavior is expected at all times, even when designated quiet hours are not operational.
Enforcement of quiet guidelines - Students in violation of quiet hour policy will be referred to the Office of Residence Life. Multiple violations may result in relocation to another floor.
Finals week quiet hours - During finals week, quiet hours are in place on all residence hall floors 24 hours a day, beginning Tuesday and ending the next Tuesday at noon. Signs will be posted within the halls informing students when quiet hours will begin, end, and be lifted. Students in violation of this policy will be referred through the judicial system and may be asked to leave the hall immediately after their last final exam.
Each student is issued a room key and their ID is activated to enter their residence by Safety and Security in Walker Hall. Students should not let anyone borrow, use or have his/her keys or ID. When a student changes rooms or moves out of the hall, the keys must be returned to Safety and Security within twenty-four hours.
If a student is locked out of his/her room, he/she should contact Safety and Security in Walker Hall at 8888 and ask to be let into his/her room. The resident must be prepared to show an I.D. to verify that he/she is a resident of that room. Safety and Security will first attempt to contact an RA on duty. The cost of the RA on duty to perform the key-in is $5.00 to be paid immediately. If the RA is not on duty (RAs on duty 7pm-7am), the student may choose to have Security perform the lock-out. The charge for a Security lock-out is $25, billed directly to the student account. The student will also be required to tell the staff member where his/her keys are and how he/she came to be locked out in the first place.
Musical Instruments
The playing of band, orchestral, or any musical instruments is prohibited in residence halls. Singing is also prohibited in the residence halls. Please use the Perkinson Music Center practice rooms for this purpose.
Personal Conduct
Stealing, violence, threats of violence, or harassment are not permitted. The University reserves the right to dismiss any student at any time whose conduct is considered detrimental to the welfare of other students or to the University.
Pets, other than fish, are not allowed in residence halls for any reason (including academic). Laboratory specimens are also prohibited.
Rollerblades and Bicycles
A bicycle is a convenient form of transportation on campus as well as in the community, but it is necessary to secure bicycles with a strong casehardened lock and tempered steel chain. Please do not park a bicycle where it may be an inconvenience or hazard to others or where it interferes with access to a building in the event of a fire. Chain it securely to a bike rack.
For safety reasons, bicycles are not permitted in residence halls or other campus buildings. For these same reasons, students are not to wear roller blades inside any campus building at any time.
Room Entry by Residence Hall Staff
The right to privacy is of paramount importance and should not be violated; however, the entry into the living quarters of a student may be conducted by the following people for the purposes and under the procedures detailed below:
When the door is open and a violation of University policies is in plain view. In all instances, such entry shall be made only for the purposes set forth above. Observed alleged contraband will be confiscated and/or alleged violations of University policies, rules, or regulations will be referred to the Area Coordinator for follow-up action.
Routine health and safety checks by staff will occur during periods when the residence halls are closed.
Room Search
Premises occupied by students and the personal property of students will not be searched unless appropriate authorization has been obtained. For University- owned or University-approved housing, authorization for search must be obtained from the Director of Residence Life.
The authorization will specify the reasons for the search and the item(s) or information sought. The student must be present, except under emergency circumstances, during the search. For premises not owned or approved by the institution, the ordinary requirements for lawful search will be followed.
Millikin University's residence halls are smoke free. This means no smoking in any public area or residence hall room. In addition, smoking is prohibited within 25 feet of any entrance/exit area of any residence hall. Students found in violation of this policy are subject to a $50 fine per offense.
Student Room Responsibility
You and your roommate jointly share the responsibility for your room. You are responsible for the condition of furniture, walls, woodwork, and floors. Damage that occurs beyond the limits of normal wear and tear is your responsibility and will be charged accordingly to you and/or your roommate. The Office of Residence Life will determine normal wear and tear. You and/or your roommate may be held accountable for misconduct that occurs within your room. You are also responsible for the behavior of your guests, who must also follow all Millikin University policies. Cleanliness of rooms is also the responsibility of the occupants.

After her short run on "Dancing With the Stars," and a much longer run as George Clooney's girlfriend, Elisabetta Canalis was caught on TMZ after an apparent dinner date with "True Blood" alum Mehcad Brooks earlier this week. Nothing like a good dish of Eggs to help you bounce back, amiright?
Not hard to understand how his sunshiny face — and seriously, he's sexy even as he laughs off the TMZ guy's annoying questions — would help Elisabetta forget all her worries. Some of us have had to be content to pause the DVR when he shows up with Selita Ebanks in that State Farm commercial. (OK, he's also starring in something called "Necessary Roughness," but "Friday Night Lights" used up our free pass on football related shows.) Behold this little gallery of Austin, Texas-born Mehcad, 30, whose smile lit up even the scariest scenes in Season 2 of "True Blood" (except, maybe, when his eyes were all Tyler, the Creator), and imagine he's your rebound too.

For the past several years, I've held the contrarian belief that Canadian and American companies doing business in North America should manufacture closer to home. For me, it comes down to being more responsive to your customers' needs. We've become a society focused on cheap price, and only now consumers are realizing this comes at a price. Manufacturing jobs have moved to Asia by the millions, replaced by lower-paying positions in the service industry. Walmart (NYSE: WMT) argues that saving you money lets you live better. Those on the other side of the argument believe savings in one hand have come at the expense of wages in the other. Who is correct is likely unanswerable. What I do know is that making products thousands of miles away is about as sensible as driving all the way across town to save 5 cents a gallon for gas. I believe "Made in the U.S.A." wins. Here are my reasons why:
IN PICTURES: 10 Tips For The Successful Long-Term Investor
Wages Heading Higher
In 10 years, Chinese wages have risen from $1,000 annually to $3,900. Credit Suisse (NYSE: CS) believes U.S. companies doing business in China will face lower margins in the coming months due to rising wages. Price increases, the usual remedy for rising costs, won't be absorbed by consumers. In an effort to keep input costs low, some manufacturers will move production to low-cost locations like Vietnam or Bangladesh. Others like General Electric (NYSE: GE) will opt to bring it home, as is the case with its hybrid water heater that will now be made in Kentucky rather than China. Let's face it, if wages in Asia were similar to those in the U.S., we wouldn't be having this discussion. Eventually, they could be.
Wage-Equalization Import Taxes
Canadian billionaire and money manager Stephen Jarislowsky believes free trade is a good thing, but only if all countries involved are operating on a level playing field. Until wages in China and the U.S. are closer, an unfair advantage exists. One solution is to revalue the Yuan, an idea that doesn't seem likely. Another is to adjust wages in the U.S. downward, also unlikely. This leaves Jarislowsky's suggestion that Canada and the U.S. should implement a wage-equalization import tax, which hits low-wage countries like China while simultaneously creating jobs here in North America. Once this occurs, wages in China will rise, as there won't be an incentive to keep them low. Everyone wins. I believe he's right.
American-Made Craftsmanship
Up until a few years ago, this meant something good. Then shareholder profits became the focus, and quality went out the window. The Japanese didn't necessarily get that much better; America just got that much worse. I've owned two Jeeps (including my existing SUV) in my life, and they've both been excellent vehicles. A recent ad for the new 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee trumpets, "Made in the U.S.A.", not because it's manufactured at the Jefferson North plant in Detroit, but because Americans know how to make things. Examples of companies with products made almost exclusively in the U.S. include Intuitive Surgical's (Nasdaq: ISRG) da Vinci surgical system, True Religion Brand Jeans (Nasdaq: TRLG) premium denim, Arctic Cat (Nasdaq: ACAT) snowmobiles and Burt's Bees (a division of Clorox (NYSE: CLX) personal care products. It's a small list but growing.
Canadian Beer
Americans see Canada as the land of hockey and beer. Interestingly, up until 1992, beer brewed in one province could not be sold in another. This ensured breweries and the jobs that came with them existed in every province. According to the Fraser Institute, this raised the cost of beer. That's true, but it also likely meant the product was fresher. While we can't go back to the days of protectionism, it does seem possible through legislation like the Manufacturing Enhancement Act to provide American businesses with reasons to manufacture in the U.S. Implementing tax breaks for companies who do so, and then taxing imports from low-wage countries, are two ways to revive manufacturing in this country. A third is to get tough with countries such as Japan that seriously restrict the sale of certain imports (cars in their case) considered vital to the country's economic interests. Free trade must be fair trade.
Bottom Line
I believe "Made in the U.S.A." will win because it's practical. A.O. Smith (NYSE: AOS) manufactures tankless water heaters in the U.S., China, India and elsewhere. As far as I can tell, much of what it manufactures in the U.S. is sold in the U.S., and what is made in China is sold in China and so on. It's not unlike the Canadian beer example above but on a country-by-country basis. In my opinion, this is the only form of globalization that's sustainable and beneficial to all.

Take Heart Articles
You're out jogging, perhaps playing a game of tennis, when you suddenly feel painful cramping in your legs. Concerned, you stop what you're doing and the pain goes away. So does your concern.
Not so fast. The symptoms you just experienced could mean you have peripheral vascular disease or PVD. And if you don't make changes to your lifestyle, you could develop blockages in key arteries, possibly leading to gangrene and even amputation of affected limbs.
PVD occurs in the blood vessels of the extremities: feet, legs, lower abdomen, arms, neck or head. The body relies on these vessels to supply oxygen-rich blood from the heart and remove waste products from cells. The narrowing or hardening of these blood vessels inhibits normal blood flow, causing circulation problems.
Most people with PVD never know they have circulation problems until they engage in physical activity. This is because the demands on the circulatory system are greater. Reduced blood flow causes cramping or fatigue in the legs or buttocks. It subsides only when physical activity stops.
The risk factors for PVD are the same as those for heart disease:
• Family history of heart disease
• Elevated cholesterol
• High blood pressure
• Smoking
• Diabetes
• Poor diet
• Obesity
• Lack of exercise
"Some people have a higher propensity for PVD, including African-Americans and men in general. Also, six percent of Americans over age 70 have PVD," says Palmetto Health Heart Hospital general surgeon Dr. Chad Rubin. "While there are certain risk factors you can't control, simple lifestyle changes can help avoid or minimize the effects of PVD."
Muscle cramping due to inadequate blood flow during physical activity is often the first sign of PVD. Usually the pain is concentrated in the calves or buttocks. If caught in this early stage, PVD can be managed through smoking cessation, a healthy diet and exercise. If not controlled, PVD can be debilitating, leading to pain, gangrene, and ultimately amputation of the affected limb.
When the going gets rough, keep going, says Dr. Rubin. "I cannot overemphasize how crucial it is to work through the pain. For example, if you are walking and pain sets in, keep walking. When you think you cannot walk another step, take one more. Fighting through the pain will encourage other blood vessels to do the work, instead of depending on the affected vessels."
There are other treatment options. Your physician may prescribe anticoagulants to prevent blood clots. Advanced PVD may require an angioplasty to dilate the narrowed arteries, the insertion of a stent to expand and lock the diseased artery into place, and, in the event of a severe blockage, bypass surgery.
"Usually we don't have to go to such lengths in treatment. If PVD is caught early and you stop smoking, eat right and exercise regularly, you can live your life to the fullest," Dr. Rubin says.

I find it rather distressing how so many narrative works, whether cinematic or literary, show clear evidence of not being meant to bear evaluation-in-light-of-the-ending. (Leaving genres like mysteries aside, which usually hinge on the movement from ignorance to discovery involved in a first reading/viewing.) It seems to compromise a work's ability to stand the test of time. I am also troubled by how many literate people around me seem to have no interest in rereading narratives. They simply do not see the point in rereading a novel; after all, you already know what happens--why read it again? You have already consumed the juicy part. Yet they do not seem to consider that unless they reread the story in light of the end, they might not know what happens, not really and truly. And they miss out on a reading experience that can be far fresher and more different and richer than the first reading than they might imagine.
To give an example of eschatological implausibility, consider something that happens in the pilot episode of Firefly. The Jayne character is offered a bribe, and for much of the episode the question is left open as to whether he accepts it or not. Later in the show the Firefly crew is meeting with a notorious criminal and her gang (or something like that), and beforehand the Jayne character is sent up into the hills with a sniper rifle to pick off possible snipers. At one point we are viewing the meeting down below from the perspective of Jayne looking through his sniper scope. We are looking through his scope. For several crucial, tense moments Jayne lingers with the crosshairs hovering directly over the Captain (I think it was him).
So at this point the dramatic intensity comes from the intimation that Jayne may have taken the bribe and is now apparently on the verge of a murderous betrayal. It is a very dramatic moment. As it turns out, he does not shoot the Captain, and eventually he reveals that he did not take the bribe, nor did he ever even remotely consider it. He had no intentions of betrayal whatsoever. (Or so I recall.)
But then what was all this crosshair sniper business? Why does he linger so much with the crosshairs, and why are we being made to linger with him? At the time of a first viewing these point-of-view shots nicely frame the open question of betrayal. But since subsequent events not only answer that question in the negative but show that it was negative at the time, it appears to me that those POV shots are but a transparent means of heightening emotional tension. They become senseless on the level of character in relation to the story as a whole.
It seems to me that from a Christian perspective we can read the present in the light of eternity. We know how the story ends, even though the details and even the broad motions of history escape us. Thus, stories in which characters, elements, or events have value only in the present unfolding of narrative details, and are not shaped and considered in light of the end, are not what they could be. To me they are not altogether satisfying.
(Of course television shows provide a particular problem for the would-be eschatological rereader. After all, with a few exceptions these shows are produced with no ultimate end in mind other than their own perpetual survival. Thus, implausibilities of the sort I have described are perhaps to be expected.)

This report describes the results of a telephone survey of enrollees in the MaineCare Option for Workers with Disabilities (MaineCare is Maine's Medicaid program, the Workers Option is one of a growing number of state initiatives across the country that are referred to as Medicaid Buy-In programs).The Workers Option is a MaineCare eligibility category that provides full MaineCare coverage for working people with disabilities who have countable income up to 250% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL) and who do not have unearned income above 100% FPL. The purpose of the Workers Option is to encourage people with disabilities to increase their job earnings without fear of losing health coverage. It is authorized under the federal Balanced Budget Act of 1997, one of two ways that states can develop Medicaid-related work incentives of this type. Maine's Bureau of Elder and Adult Services (BEAS), Maine Department of Human Services, commissioned the survey to find out more about the people who were or ever had been enrolled in the Workers Option. BEAS wanted to know about their work experience, their support services needs (particularly their use of personal assistant services), and their opinions and concerns about receiving health coverage under the Workers Option.

Time Machine - a couple of easy questions
#1, it can back up to a second internal hard drive, correct? It doesn't HAVE to be an external?
#2, if Leopard is installed on a 500GB drive, can I back up to a 250GB drive (as long as I only choose to back up certain folders)?
Can't directly answer your questions, I don't have Leopard yet but I did go to the release event and went to hear some demos. I asked if the Time Machine backups were, like the persistent rumours said, non-bootable and it is true so SuperDuper! is not obsolete by any means.
I asked the presenter if you can manually select which type of files you want Time Machine to handle and sadly, with Time Machine, it's all or nothing i.e. you either do a full backup of everything or you don't.
I also asked if you could delete certain backups of files from a certain date and later and you cannot: you either keep the whole backups of that file or you delete them all.
The suggested size: there isn't one according to the presenter. Time Machine backs up till there is space, then it starts deleting the oldest backups to make room for the newer ones. I would guess the usual logic will work in this case: at the very least, twice the size of your internal hard drive for the external.
And it was mentioned that the external used by Time Machine must be used only for Time Machine: it cannot share any other files or data on it, especially not with a Tiger install/backup for instance. It wasn't clear to me if partitions were ok or not.
Partitions should be OK. Time Machine comes up asking for verification of the back up location. It gave me the option of selecting either of the two partitions I have on my external drive. Which, of course, I can't use since one is my Tiger back up and the other has all my music and video on it.
Can't answer the question about a 2nd internal drive since I have a MBP. It does not give me the option of choosing a different partition that exists on my internal drive however.
At this point am not convinced at all that Time Machine is a feature I have any use for on my personal machine. For my work machine, something like this would be great since that's where I'm creating documents all day.
Thanks, guess I'll find out for sure in a few days!

Tots100 Book Club – The Book Thief by Marcus Zusak
Tots100 have joined forces with Tesco Books to launch a rather fably book club-exchange scheme. A blogger reviews a book they love, and then recommends another blogger who gets a copy sent to them! What a brilliant idea! We were asked to join in this month – so here's my choice:
When I picked up this book at the library, I wasn't sure what to expect, if I'm honest. I had seen good reviews, and I liked the cover (yes, we ALL judge books by their covers, you know it's true) – and you never know whether that's going to be a good risk or a bad risk do you?
This one?
This was the very BEST of all book risks.
I loved this book. I did not want to put it down – I even cooked a white sauce with one hand whilst reading this with the other.
It's written by Death, about a 9yr old German girl and her foster family during WWII.
Cheerful, y'think?
Well… actually, it's a stunningly beautiful, stabbingly emotional, hauntingly uplifting read.
It's a book with such depth to it – Death is a narrator of such fine craftsmanship I can't tell you how often I have re-read some passages, just to enjoy his words. Cold, clear, precise – and yet containing boundless anger and horror and sadness. And unimaginable love and joy and fun. The surface story of Liesel and her books contains the deeper wider story that Death is telling.
The story is a simple one, of one misfit family of everyday Germans, in an ordinary street in Berlin, that could easily have been the East End of London; the characters are universally recognisable, alive and crisply in focus. And funny and warm and real.
Ultimately the book celebrates WORDS. Their power, the strength that can be taken from them, the times that can be shared through them, the memories and bonds that can be created by them.
It's a book which stayed with me long after I (sadly, slowly) finished the last page, and one which I have returned to time and again – always finding something new within it.
I'm recommending The Book Thief by Marcus Zusak to Becky from Lakes Single Mum, purely because I spotted she had commented on the Tots100 January post that she'd love to take part.
Some info about the book club:
The Tots100 Book Club is where bloggers share their favourite stories. Every month, the Tots100 invites 10 bloggers to talk about stories that have moved and inspired them – and to share their favourite books with another blogger. Each month, they'll be publishing a round-up of the Book Club's recommendations over on the Tots100 site, meaning you need never be short of great reading inspiration again!

There IS more to it. Mr. Stennett was a murder victim only because he was murdered in the process of saving a friend's life.
The incredible negativity and ignorance reflected in many of these comments is a huge reason that nothing can ever get done. It is that negativity and ingnorance that will keep driving Saginaw down. There is not magic, one size fits all, bullet. There is no pot of gold waiting to be poured down. We have to work together and support each other in endeavors to make Saginaw better. It doesn't mean you have to see YOUR definition of beauty in everything, but there really is still a lot of good people here who are trying to make this a better place........you are more than welcome to lend a hand to that endeavor or get out of the way of the people who are.
Nobody professes that this is the key to solving Saginaw's problems, but it is a positive step in the right direction. Urban gardens have been very successful in other cities.
Yes, there are huge issues in Saginaw, but all small steps toward positive change are steps in the right direction....and a lot more productive than people sitting there saying "that wont' work, this won't workk, there's nothing that can be done," etc.
If you have concerns about the levels of lead, send him an e-mail and ask.
The $12,000 would likely cover things like more raised beds, greenhouses for starting vegetables in the spring, more soil testing, composting material, etc. The aim, as I understand it, is to make the garden(s) eventually pretty much self-supporting-harveting/using own seed from prior years to keep it non GMO and beginning plants indoors throught the use of hydropenics (sp). I am sure that if you were to e-mail Mr. Ingle, he would gladly tell you where the money goes. If you don't like those ideas, then by all means, don't put any money into it.
A lot of the vegetables at ANY of the markets around here are genetically modified and chemical laden. If that's what you choose to feed youself and your family, that's your choice, too.
How about just taking personal responsibility to be sure that:
a) you don't get parking tickets (easier said than done sometimes) or
b) paying the parking ticket when you get it or as soon as possible after.
Be responsible and accountable for your own actions and you won't have to worry about it....and be sure you get a receipt for any fines/tickets that you pay.
SPD (Ret) - I agree. The best prosecutor in the world cannot convict without some foundation to stand on. Kudos to the detectives that worked this case.

"fiasco"? Please explain. Every event that I have been to there (and there have been several) were extremely well attended.

Qwerty, I agree wholeheartedly. My hearts are with the families and friends of the victim as they have to relive this monstrous thing one more time and subject themselves to thoughtless comments - again.
a lot of people that support this are working....some of us are working multiple jobs. Even if we are there, our hearts are. and some of THESE people work afternoon or night shifts....just in case you wondered
I've yet to meet an RN who makes over $100K a year....and know a few professors at SVSU who are nowhere near close to that - or even half that.
If you are fed up with corrupt corporate run government - regardless of party affiliation - then you are also part of the 99%.
there is a difference between capitalism and corporate greed.
Seems to me that "99%" is the 99% of the people that are sick and tired of the way that big money is running the country. Doesn't make any difference which party, it is who has the biggest pot of gold behind them......and their backers absolutely expect favors in return for putting them there, regardless of what/who those "favors" may hurt. The rest is a fallout from that.....just my opinion.
And for every person there, there are dozens and dozens more than cannot be there, but fully support their right be heard and certainly their (our) right to be angry and disgruntled. Those backers are of all ages and multiple socio-economic backgrounds.
My take on it is that the corporations are the ones essentially running the government (federal/state) and what big money wants, big money gets, no matter who is in power or what the regular people want or need. Some of those in power on the lower levels (i.e. city) are simply people who appear to be overly impressed with their little pieces of power and love to watch themselves use it in any manner they see fit regardless of what the majority want/need.
Just my take based on observation
You don't know her, nor understand what it is that she does. Sad for you, believe me.
However, you really could keep your misguided, uninformed comments to yourself for a change of pace. Why spread negativity just because you CHOOSE to wallow in it. That's a bigger issue.
Because there are just a "zillion" openings for accountants, teachers, business majors, management majors, finance majors, computer science.....MBA's.............ba ha ha ha ha ha
Nursing majors have the best chance

So, who owns Mr Camp and the rest of them?
You are seriously clueless as to what the Occupy Wall Street movement is all about. Check into multiple sources, not just right controlled reporting.
It isn't about politics.

The stray dog was emaciated, as scrawny as the cypress knees where she perched teetering, swamped in the waters of the Black River with nowhere to go.
Land protection
Conservation easements and purchases that Maria Whitehead has been instrumental in getting in the Winyah Bay and Pee Dee River basin area with The Nature Conservancy since 2007:
Easements: 7,086 acres
Purchases: 5,389 acres.
The kayak wouldn't quite fit in between the knees, so the balance would be tricky if the dog was grabbed. The frightened dog might bite. And Maria Whitehead had a tour group to lead. But she coaxed the hound to the boat and cradled her. A week later, "River" is Whitehead's family dog.
This is the woman to whom the heart of the Black River belongs.
"Once I got my eyes locked on (the dog) it seemed she was a gentle soul, and she was so terrified," Whitehead said.
Whitehead, 40, is The Nature Conservancy's soft-spoken and insuppressible project director for the Winyah Bay and Pee Dee River basin, essentially the whole north coast of South Carolina as far inland as Florence. Her job is a handful: identifying and prioritizing key privately owned tracts to try to win conservation easements, or buy outright and raising the money to pay for it. She takes part in multi-group conservation task forces. She oversees the scientific research needed. Oh, and she also heads up an ocean and coast conservation initiative for the conservancy's chapter here.
The old growth cypress bottoms found along the Black River are the heart of the ecosystem, home to any number of wildlife species, including innumerable birds such as the rare and graceful swallow-tailed kite, that are native to the Lowcountry. The bottoms are one of the most important forest habitats to the region, and after centuries of timbering, there's not a lot of old growth left.
They are Whitehead's stomping ground and her job, literally, is to save what she can.
For the love of birds
She was born to this. Whitehead grew up on a 200-year-old family farm in the Back Swamp community outside Florence, the sort of rural place where nobody really bothers about whether to spell "back swamp" as one word or two. Maria, pronounced like Mariah, is a family name; she is the seventh in the family to have it.
This is the sort of family that found an orphaned great horned owlet when Whitehead was 7 years old and raised it, first in a baby's playpen in the kitchen then in a screened sand pile in the yard. The bird would perch on the shoulder, gracefully keeping the talons retracted. The family later released the bird.
Whitehead fell in love with birds. She went to Davidson College to study field biology, then Australia to intern doing avian research. She got a job at the S.C. Department of Natural Resources counting wading bird colonies in the swamps. The team built their own float shoes out of Styrofoam, put clickers on their belts and walked on the water of Sparkleberry Swamp. She earned her master's degree at the University of Georgia, her Ph.D. at Clemson University.
"What can I say? She's dedicated and passionate about birds," said ornithologist Sid Gauthreaux of Edisto Island, who taught Whitehead at Clemson and has followed her career. "When she was a student, I could tell she was going to make a difference."
As Whitehead graduated, she came across a newsletter advertising avian research jobs literally across the world and said, "Wow."
Next thing she knew, she was in a Maui forest in Hawaii studying species behavior. She took a job teaching biology at The Citadel, worked with birds for The Charleston Museum, and became research director at the Center for Birds of Prey in Awendaw.
The more Whitehead studied birds, the more she realized that wasn't the answer, with species disappearing in the Lowcountry and worldwide.
"If your passion is avian conservation, then land protection is one of the ways you can promote the most change," she said.
Protective instinct
In 2007, conservancy staffers asked her about taking over the basin conservation work. It didn't take much coaxing. Her dad, Alva Whitehead, earlier had placed the Back Swamp farm into a conservation easement to protect the family legacy.
"To get to work in a place where your family has been for 200 years, a place your family holds sacred, it's a 'once-in-a-lifetime,' " she said.
Whitehead spends a lot of time in meetings, a lot of time poring over paperwork, more time than she would wish providing "ecosystem services," helping people who didn't grow up like she did understand why conservation is valuable and how to protect land.
"The payoff is that joy of being out there and to have a part in trying to protect and restore it. Helping birds just makes it that much more important," Whitehead said.
She is married and commutes from the mountains where she moved when her husband, Ryan Olson, took a job there. She is the mother of two, a kayaker, a runner, novice mountain biker, and now the best friend of a gentle, shy hound dog mix who still retreats to her kennel when she's nervous but whose nose comes alive when she's out in the mountain forest.
"And always I yearn for more quiet times outdoors," Whitehead said. She orients where she is by the bird calls she hears. When she's out, she's listening.
At times, she retreats to her family's cabin on Black Mingo Creek near the Black River, where she stares across the water at 200,000 acres of timberland that has just been sold and in today's market might not stay timberland much longer.
"It keeps me up at night," she said. "Just the instability and change of ownership in all our industrial forests presents a threat and an opportunity."

These Goose Creek Gators have to find their own way.
Gators head coach Chuck Reedy and defensive coordinator Chris Candor were on the same page after Friday's controlled scrimmage with North Augusta revealed some chinks in the armor heading into a new season.
The Gators, who are replacing three Division I players in the front seven and looking for a new safety on defense, were particularly vulnerable to the pass against North Augusta. The Yellow Jackets connected on three touchdown passes over 60 yards in outscoring Goose Creek 5-2 in touchdowns.
It wasn't a complete surprise: Candor expected his unit to struggle with North Augusta's no-huddle, up-tempo offense.
"We were transitioning from going up against up our offense where everything is in real tight to North Augusta's, which spreads you out," he said. "But you've still got to be physical because they've got a great run game, too. They can get you a little spread out and get you reacting slowly to things. Slow against them is not good."
The chunks of yardage North Augusta had were on mistakes Goose Creek can fix, Reedy said.
"We gave up three big plays but other than that they didn't do a whole lot," he added. "It's not good we gave up some big plays but those are things we can correct. We knew going in we weren't going to execute perfectly on both sides of the ball. "
On offense, Goose Creek was solid, getting typical performances from running back Caleb Kinlaw and quarterback Dantez Bennamon. Kinlaw ripped off some big runs and got physical against defensive backs down the field on a couple of occasions. He scored the first unit's only touchdown.
Each team started a possession with 10 guaranteed plays before cranking up a real drive. Two of Goose Creek's 10-play drives ended inside the 10. The Gators also had a turnover on a fumble.
The performance against North Augusta is something they can build on, Candor said.
"That's good," Candor added. "It's humbling. It shows you've got to come to work every day. You can't rely on the past four or five seasons that we've been pretty good. This is a new team and this team has to prove it can be a good football team."
The Gators were set to host Berkeley at 10 a.m. on Tuesday.

Below is the poem entitled Morning Sunshine which was written by poet
Skinner. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
Jim Skinner
The sun is breaking the horizon,
a thousand rainbows of dewy light,
reflect off newly mown hay.
Bleats,moos,caws,hisses,neighs,and winneys
of the barnyard
the beginning of a pastoral day.
The rays of the sun,
crawl along the ground
just touching the vane ,
of that ,old red barn.
Time to get up ,get out of bed
life waits for no one,
when you live upon a farm.
Strutting proudly up the path,
he's the cock of the roost,
the one to start the day.
He knows that he's one fine specimen,
his carcass it's grade "A".
He gives all the hens a wink,
not quite honest or sincere.
He jumps upon the highest perch,
for all to see and hear.
Throws out his some what massive,
feathery chest,
Throws back his head ,
to do his best.
Darn no cough syrup for roosters.

Known Thug Alec Baldwin Claims U.S. 'Will Never Be Great Again' Under Romney
Alec Baldwin is warning the country. "America will never be great again under a Romney administration," the volatile actor sonorously intoned in a recent, rambling Huffington Post screed.
If Mitt Romney is elected, Baldwin tells us, only "rich people" will find the country great. "Everyone else will be asked to dial down their [sic] expectations of what it means to be an American, again," he warns.
It is clear that Mr. Baldwin isn't paying attention to his fellow Americans because as a nation we are already lowering our expectations for the future. We are doing so right now, under Barack Obama.
Let's see how Americans feel under Obama's regime:
- But a scant 16 percent see a better future for their kids in Obama's America
- Only 41 percent think the U.S. economy will get stronger in the near future
- A clear majority, 60 percent feel the country is in a recession
- A full 58 percent feel that the country is headed in the wrong direction
It looks to me, Mr. 30 Rock, like the country has already downgraded its expectations of the future and have done so under the very man you want re-elected!
But, Baldwin is dismissive of Obama's destruction. Baldwin has decided that Obama isn't "any more of a socialist than his predecessors."
We can take Baldwin's warning seriously, of course, because, why, he's a serious man. After all, he is a man well-known for verbally abusing his own daughter, physically attacking fans and photographers, and being thrown off planes for refusing to observe FAA safety procedures.>

Short and sweet this week as we get closer to wrapping up the series on how we added a $15,000 bathroom to our house for under $4k:
- How to: DIY Foam Insulation, plumbing, electrical, framing, & demolition
- How to: arched doorways & rustic wood floors
- How to: Build a custom corner storage cabinet
- How to: Custom tile shower with shampoo nook and decorative tile border
Our house is full of custom built-in shelving units, which were pretty popular back in the day. We wanted to update the house with a more modern look, but maintain some of the old style to help tie everything together. Lack of bathroom storage is something that really bothers me– when you go into a bathroom that has toothbrushes and personal care products crammed onto every counter top surface it just looks, well, cluttered and dirty. We now keep the bulk of our items inside the cabinet, which saves on cleaning time and makes the bathroom so much more relaxing to walk into.
For a novice woodworker (like myself) this DIY corner cupboard should be a weekend project (need to leave time for paint to dry overnight), and cost about $100.

Resuscitation, 04/24/2012
Andresen M et al. – Immediate cardiac resuscitation skills were effectively achieved by 8th grade students with a 15–minute self–instruction video with teacher supervision. An important epidemiological impact on out–of–hospital cardiac arrest outcome could be attained if larger numbers of students are trained with this relatively low–cost method. Long–term retention of skills with this method must still be determined.

LAWRENCEVILLE - Relay for Life, the American Cancer Society's biggest fundraiser, will kick off this Friday at the Gwinnett County Fairgrounds.This year participants are shooting for a fundraising goal of $2.5 million, attempting to surpass last year's $2.2 million. Gwinnett's Relay for Life has exceeded not only other Georgia Relay for Life events but has been ranked No.1 in the country both in attendees and money raised. "I think the most special part of (Relay for Life) is the way the community embraces the fight against cancer compared to any other Relay in the country," said Randy Redner, American Cancer Society area manager. Redner expects more than 10,000 people to attend over the weekend and has registered more than 345 teams. "We're having the survivor's walk again this year and we're shooting for over 2,000 people - it's the largest survivor gathering in the world," Redner said. There are around 20,000 cancer survivors living in Gwinnett alone, he said. Activities at the event include a crazy hat contest, campsite judging contest, bingo, cake walk, trivia contest and scavenger hunt. Proof of the Pudding will host a dance inside for middle school and high school kids and for the first time a 5k run will take place at 8 Saturday morning. Two events that generally make the biggest impression on attendees are the survivors walk and the luminary ceremony. "We have 8,000 luminary bags and we will shut off the lights at 10 p.m.," Redner said. "It's a really powerful time because people get to honor those that are still surviving and the memory of those who have lost their fight."

Drivers in the Military in Illinois
Stationed outside of Illinois and facing the renewal of your license? If you have an Illinois driver's license and are in the military, you have more options than the average driver.
Military enlistees, their spouses, and any dependent children living with them can have the expiration of their driver's licenses deferred for up to 120 days following discharge or following reassignment back to a military base in Illinois.
To accomplish this, you need a Military Deferral Certificate card. This card must be carried with the license. Here's how to get one:
- Photocopy your current driver's license, your military ID card, and your out-of-state mailing address.
- Write a letter explaining your request.
- Send the above to:
- Secretary of State
- License and Medical Review Unit
- 2701 S. Dirksen Parkway
- Springfield, IL 62723
If you have questions relating to military deferrals and documentation, contact the Secretary of State's information line at (217) 782-2720
Acceptable Proofs of Residency
It can be tricky for those stationed outside of Illinois to prove that they are Illinois residents. Paperwork issued by the Secretary of State will usually fulfill this requirement. Such documents include your vehicle title, your vehicle registration card, and your Illinois voter card.
If you don't have any of these items, then lease agreements showing an Illinois address, rent receipts, utility bills, or bank statements will usually suffice. Even official, stamped letters from a business or government office to your name at that address will do.
More information on acceptable proofs of residency and identity can be found on the State of Illinois website.

Churchill and Begin
To the Editor:
As I read Edward N. Luttwak's stimulating article, "Churchill and Us" [June], I found myself drawing a series of parallels between the Churchill of the 1930's and the Menachem Begin of the 1970's which frightened me no less than did Mr. Luttwak's brilliantly constructed comparison of pre-war Britain to present-day America. Churchill warned his nation that Hitler had not moderated his policies. . . . and he discounted the words of "moderation" uttered by German quasi-officials "behind closed doors" in light of the bellicose pronouncements made by Hitler before huge public audiences.
Is it difficult, then, to consider the nature of Israeli suspicion of Arab "moderation"? Have not the "moderate Palestinians" like Yasir Arafat continued to call for the dismantling of the Jewish state, refusing time and again to expunge the call for the liquidation of Israel from their national charter? Indeed, no less a "moderate" than Anwar Sadat has issued proclamations expressing his readiness to go to war if the Israelis do not agree to give up every last inch of the lands won in the 1967 war. Although Sadat may speak words of conciliation "behind closed doors," he has done otherwise before massive Egyptian crowds, promising that "not one inch" of land would ever be conceded to the Jewish state. Similarly, George F. Will, writing in Newsweek. . . . marveled at President Carter's attitude toward the "moderate" Syrian President Assad. Citing Assad's contention that Israel is "a basic part of Southern Syria" and noting that his government-controlled press has asserted that Israel "shall be destroyed," Will . . . asked: "Has Assad changed, or has the U.S.?"
The suspicions and concerns voiced by men like Begin have been subjected to the same contumely as that heaped on Churchill four decades ago. The same papers which wondered why Churchill could not allow Hitler and his "New Germany" the "benefit of the doubt" today irreverently question the "hawkish distrust" of a Begin. . . .
As Churchill was called an "alarmist" by the London Times, so has Begin faced the wrath of recognized "journals of enlightened opinion." . . . Ultimately, the attacks against Begin resemble these words written to Churchill by R. M. Barrington-Ward of the London Times (and potently cited by Mr. Luttwak): "We should . . . be against premature abandonment of the hope, supported by many authoritative pronouncements on the German side, that Germany is prepared to reach a general understanding and settlement."
It is to be fervently hoped that the parallel will not run the full gamut and that (to paraphrase Mr. Luttwak) Israel will be spared the unnecessary war caused by a failure to understand the firm (and politically, morally, and religiously legitimate) negotiating postures which might deter the Arabs from their aggressive designs. While Mr. Luttwak's message was directed to the American body politic, supporters of the nation of Israel would do well to reflect upon his words as they relate to the conflict in the Middle East.
