DURHAM, N.H.-- The search for a new head women's ice hockey coach at the University of New Hampshire is reaching its final stages and the search committee will be interviewing three possible candidates for the job during the next two weeks. The announcement was made today by UNH Athletic Director Marty Scarano.
The impressive list of applicants includes: present UNH associate head men's ice coach Brian McCloskey; Julie Sasner, who recently completed a two-year stint as assistant coach of the Women's US National and Olympic ice hockey teams; and Stacy Wilson, presently an assistant women's ice hockey coach at the University of Minnesota-Duluth.
McCloskey recently completed his 10th season with the Wildcat men's ice hockey team. Known for his outstanding recruiting ability, he brought in tremendous talent to UNH, including 1999 Hobey Baker Award winner Jason Krog, and Hobey Baker finalists Ty Conklin and Mark Mowers. McCloskey has also gained valuable coaching experience at Dartmouth College, Brown University and Princeton University as an assistant coach. During his time in Durham, many of the players he helped recruit led UNH to three "Frozen Four" appearances and one national championship contest in the last five years. In addition, the Wildcat teams he helped coach and recruit for in 1999 and 2002 each posted over 30 victories, 31 and 30, respectively. The mark of 31 in 1999 is a school record. He is a 1977 graduate of Dartmouth College with a Bachelor of Arts degree in International Relations and Government.
Sasner, who graduated from Oyster River High School in Durham, is hoping to return to her home state after serving as the assistant coach for the women's US National and Olympic squads from 2000-2002. She helped lead the squad to an Olympic Silver Medal in Salt Lake City this past winter and her team posted a two-year record of 76-3-1. From 1998-2000, Sasner was the head women's ice hockey coach at the University of Wisconsin, where she initiated new program in 1998-99. In 1999-2000, she led the Badgers to a 19-14-2 overall record and a third-place finish in the WCHA. From 1993-98, she served as the head women's ice hockey coach at Cornell University. There she led her team to an Ivy League title in 1996 and was named Coach of the Year by the American Women's Hockey Coaches Association. Her overall record with the Big Red was 53-60-6. She is a 1988 graduate of Harvard University with an A.B. in Social Anthropology. She later earned her Masters degree in Counseling from San Francisco State University in 1992.
Wilson will be looking for her first collegiate head coach position after serving for three years as the top assistant for a highly successful Minnesota-Duluth women's ice hockey program that won national titles in 2001 and 2002. During that two-season stretch, the Bulldogs posted an impressive record of 52-11-8. In her 2000 campaign, she helped lead her squad to a WCHA regular season and tournament title as the team finished with a 25-5-3 mark. An outstanding ice hockey player, she also won a Silver Medal as a team captain for the 1998 Canadian Olympic Team. Wilson is a 1987 graduate of Acadia University, where she earned her Bachelor of Science degree in Physical Education.

What a joke. Thats why we elect you, to do your job. Do we need to do it for you? Typical state mentality.
Milk dealers are NOT paying producers all of the over order premium they collect
Oli, There is no workplace morale. We see the legislator give themselves automatic raises every year, in the meantime they have no money to give their management. Management has become so frustrated with their situation that they couldn't care less what happens in their agencies. The governor thinks he is saving money. Its costing him big time in morale and productivity. Not much is going to be accomplished in any agency when management's heart is not in it.
I am a union employee and find it a disgrace that non union employees did not receive any type of increase towards equalizing the pay scales. It demonstrates that the state lacks leadership and doesn't understand the animosities that have been caused between union and non union employees. It will actually cost the state millions more than what a raise would have cost.

No more marshal in town
Newburgh adopts police commission, 1977 benefits plan
NEWBURGH - The Newburgh Town Council passed an ordinance at its Wednesday night meeting abolishing the office of town marshal and creating a Board of Metropolitan Police Commissioners.
"This won't change any standard operating procedures that the department operates under, nor will it affect the normal day-to-day operations," Police Chief Brett Sprinkle said Thursday. "Basically what it does is to improve the benefits package for our policemen."
Sprinkle explained that under Indiana law, the marshal system officers were not able to be members of the 1977 Police and Fire Pension Fund.
"Should a policeman be hit by a car on duty, the change makes it possible for his family to be eligible for survivor benefits," Sprinkle said.
The ordinance also means a change in hiring procedures.
"Now we can no longer take anyone over the age of 36," Sprinkle said. "Also, we'll have to institute physical and psychological evaluations under the requirements of the 1977 Police and Fire Pension Fund."
Sprinkle said he worked on the project for two years, "but it was officer Chad Bailey who did the legwork the past few months and presented the idea to the town council. We're hoping to finish all the procedural work so that officers will be entitled to the benefits within a month or so."

Several American Indian groups are preparing to sue over a court's decision to allow the adoption of a girl of Cherokee heritage by a Charleston-area couple.
The Native American Rights Fund, National Congress of American Indians and National Indian Child Welfare Association said Monday they want to try to protect the best interests of the now-3-year-old girl named Veronica.
With the backing of the U.S. Supreme Court, the South Carolina Supreme Court last week ordered a Family Court to finalize Veronica's adoption by Matt and Melanie Capobianco.
The girl has been living in Oklahoma since 2011 when South Carolina justices said a federal law favored her being raised by her biological father, a member of the Cherokee Nation.
Her father has been pursuing custody of Veronica in Oklahoma.
Washington attorney Lori Alvino McGill, who represents the child's birth mother, questioned how continuing the case would be in the child's best interest.
The birth father and his supporters have consistently "taken the position that she must be transferred to his custody solely because of her slight Native ancestry, regardless of the fact that the South Carolina courts would otherwise have finalized this adoption years ago as 'in her best interest," McGill told The Post and Courier.
McGill added, "the fact is that only three people in the world have ever had any legal custody of Veronica — her birth mother, Christy, and Matt and Melanie Capobianco, whom she handpicked."

While not connected with it in any way, this is a companion volume to the author's "epoch-making" story _The Leopard's Spots_. It is a novel with a great deal to it, and which very properly is going to interest many thousands of readers. (Later adapted to film by D.W. Griffith as The Birth of a Nation.)
It is, first of all, a forceful, dramatic, absorbing love story, with a sequence of events so surprising that one is prepared for the fact that much of it is founded on actual happenings; but Mr. Dixon has, as before, a deeper purpose--he has aimed to show that the original formers of the Ku Klux Klan were modern knights errant taking the only means at hand to right intolerable wrongs.
[Used as a recruiting tool for the Ku Klux Klan in the teens and twenties, it was also used by director D.W. Griffith as the basis for The Birth of a Nation.]
n his book.
The banjo had come to Washington with the negroes following the wake of the army. She had laid aside her guitar and learned to play all the stirring camp songs of the South. Her voice was low, soothing, and tender. It held every silent listener in a spell.
As she played and sang the songs the wounded man loved, her eyes lingered in pity on his sun-bronzed face, pinched and drawn with fever. He was sleeping the stupid sleep that gives no rest. She could count the irregular pounding of his heart in the throb of the big vein on his neck. His lips were dry and burnt, and the little boyish moustache curled upward from the row of white teeth as if scorched by the fiery breath.
He began to talk in flighty sentences, and she listened--his mother--his sister--and yes, she was sure as she bent nearer--a little sweetheart who lived next door. They all had sweethearts--these Southern boys. Again he was teasing his dog--and then back in battle.
At length he opened his eyes, great da

PRESTONSBURG — Former Floyd County Teachers were remembered recently during an Floyd County Education Association luncheon.
Each year the Floyd County Education Association (FCEA) pays honor to those retired teachers who have died during the previous year with a program dedicated to their lives and how they influenced the lives of many children along the way. Fittingly, the program is done in the spring of the year.
This year's Floyd County's Deceased Retired Teachers included Homer L. Hall, Nannie Walters Hall, Charlene Sexton, Wendell L. Martin, Keith W. Slone, Hugo Eckner Miller, Carole Rice, Draxie Hamilton Newsome and Helen Gladys Matthew Jones.
During the program there was a candle lighting, receiving of proclamation and rose and eulogies for deceased members by family, colleagues and students. Other members of the association tell heartfelt stories of the teachers and it makes for a day that teachers are truly appreciated for the work they do for kids and the community. Sometimes the comments are heart-wrenching.
The site of this year event was the Josie Hoskins school which provided just the right atmosphere for such a service. The Josie Hoskins school is a one room facility that had the very minimum of equipment and supplies and yet managed to turn out people who went on to be of service to their families and communities.
Entertainment was provided by the East Wind Trio—Joan Chaffins, Trish Cieslak, and Libby Hall from the McDowell First Baptist Church. Joan and Libby are retired teachers themselves and know many of the people who are honored each year. These ladies have been providing the entertainment for many years at this function.
After the program everyone was treated to a lunch prepared by members of the FCEA, and more stories and memories were relived.
The FCEA will be having a meeting at 11 a.m., Sept. 6, at May Lodge, in Jenny Wiley State Resort Park. Lunch is provided for newly retired members.

FIA president Jean Todt remains an almost ever-present figure in Grenoble, almost 600 kilometres from his Paris office, while the great Michael Schumacher – one of the former Ferrari top man's closest friends – lies grievously injured after a late December skiing fall.
Ever since Schumacher's coma began just after Christmas, the diminutive 67-year-old Todt has fought through the crowds of reporters in order to be with the German.
He is one of very few of Schumacher friends who has been welcomed to Grenoble by the anguished family.
Indeed, the mutual admiration is obvious. On the wall of Todt's office, only one photo is present – featuring his wife Michelle Yeoh, his son Nicolas, and seven time World Champion Schumacher.
It is now more than a week since doctors began their attempt at waking the 45-year-old from his long coma.
"Michael and his family are very close friends of mine," Todt told Die Welt. "He is an important part of my life. And now he is seriously injured."
Frenchman Todt said thathe has tried to give the Schumacher family "every conceivable type of assistance" during these most trying of weeks.
"Often, that is just to be here for them." he explained.
Regularly, Todt has made the long journey to Grenoble, just to be with his unconscious friend and his family.
"I think he would do it for me, if I had an accident like that," he said. "I am sure Michael would be here for me." (GMM)

Quickie Synopsis: Episode 2, in which Rick Grimes makes some new friends, dismembers a corpse, and gets the F out of Dodge.
Best bits:
Steven Yeun is perfectly cast as the wise-cracking, unreasonably smart (for a horror show/movie) Glenn. His sarcastic remarks are a welcome addition to the bleak tone.
"You just rang the dinner bell."
Who doesn't love a classic Romero Siege? I find it a little hard to buy that a zombie would have the intelligence to pick up a large chunk of concrete and use it to bash in the windows, but I love the ticking clock of the slowly breaking glass.
Michael Rooker.
Michael Rooker plays a GREAT asshole and his turn as Merle is no exception. You hate him within 10 seconds of appearing on screen. Who's going to stink-palm this guy?
Glenn lays down some logic.
It's refreshing to see not just a large dose of common sense in a horror show, but also coming from the young Asian guy. For someone living in a world without zombie movies, he's pretty clever—he only lets one person follow him so he isn't bunched up, he keeps the sharp shooter at the doors, and he maintains a lookout.
Andrea Loots the Department Store.
The Walking Dead" is all about the human moments in the midst of a zombie apocalypse. This isn't demonstrated any better than Laurie Holden's Andrea finding a small necklace for her sister while zombies pound and groan a few feet away at the doors. And Rick admits that "the rules" don't apply anymore.
The Organ Donor.
Again we see Rick's humanity as he checks the ID of a dead zombie that he then proceeds to viciously hack it into pieces. It's F'ing gnarly. I can't believe this show is on a regular cable channel. I love the reactions of all the people standing around—especially squeamish Glenn. And then everyone digging into the body cavity to pull out guts. And after everything? "Give me the axe, we need more guts." I was LOLing.
"Where's Glenn?"
I love the shot of Glenn bombing out of the city in the Challenger, having a blast. Who wouldn't do that given the opportunity? [Editor's note: Me, that's who. Should you find yourself with this opportunity, please resist the urge. Should an accident occur, doctors are scarce and an injured survivor is a dead survivor.]
Around the same amount of killing took place this week as last (too bad Rick didn't use that grenade though) but none of them were very spectacular. Rick's axe through the head of the first zombie that realized he's actually food is pretty awesome though. Homeboy got cleaved.
Zombie of the Week goes to a zombie who's most awesome moments were after he was put down. The Organ Donor scene is probably my favorite bit of television since the opening of season 2 of "Lost." Organ Donor Zombie, thank you for your gift.
Week 2 Zombie Kills: 14 (on-screen—even though Rick's aim hovers somewhere around an impossible 90% headshots, if he fires his gun and we don't see a hit on screen, I'm not counting it.)
Series Zombie Kills: 27
Consider posting a comment.
i was good for all but the fence climbing and landing on the feet zombie….. wtf
What an AWESOME CHARGER commercial. So if Glen is soo smart why did he drive the car soo far? The alarm is going to attract all the zombies where ever it gets parked. I think the infighting is cliche. Especially the names T-Bone & merle? Why didnt they use the clothes racks to help barricade the store? I know it wouldnt stop the zombies, but it sure would slow them down. Im hoping that grenade gets used soon. Why is Ricks wife such a whore? There should be a mourning period before you screw you husband's ex-partner. Have we narrowed down how long Rick was in a coma? Im thinking a monthish. Maybe 7-8 days alone. Anyway, his wife is a whore. Why didnt he try and drive the tank? Since there is a black guy, does that mean he dies first?
They can climb a fence, but not a ladder. Maybe it is instinct: Like the black lady w/ the door knob or kid w/ the teddy bear.
I think the idea with Rick's coma is that there was someone still at the hospital doing their best but they eventually got killed or ran off a day or so before Rick woke up.
Lots of differences from the comic in this episode, which I guess is good because it means I won't know all the twists and turns.
I assume Glenn was just going to take the car a few miles out of the city and then ditch it and meet up with them at the camp. Remember he used to go into the city alone all the time so he's definitely independent and adventurous. You could also hit cruise control and let the car slowly roll down the highway for miles, bouncing off the concrete barriers.
And Lori is being a whore. That's a little bit different than the comic. I'm not sure if I'm behind that change. Do you think Lori and Shane were having an affair before Rick's accident?
Ha. I didn't even think about the fence-climbing for some reason. That is stupid. They crashed through it eventually anyway, no need to have gymnast zombies.
I love this series already…happy it got picked up for a 2nd season
Well obviously Rick & Lori had issues pre-Zombie take over. I like to live by the simple Loved one death philosphy. If your husband/wife dies, you must go a year before you even hook up again. Otherwise their ghost is allowed to haunt you the rest of your life. Come ON! The guy hadnt even been suposedly dead that long.
Everyone seems to forget that the very first Romero Zombie picked up a rock to break a window.
Dang double posts. Hmmm. What else to say.
Rick's accent sounds fine to me.

The news of John Hughes' shocking death is still in my head. There has already been a lot of space dedicated to paying tribute, but I feel compelled to add more. The man's gift as a screenwriter was monumental. It wasn't just about capturing the zeitgeist of modern teenagers in films like The Breakfast Club or Pretty In Pink, it was also about the way his writing was just do damn sharp. So smart, so funny. And, without his influence, the face of modern Hollywood cinema would be entirely different. I'm convinced that without John Hughes, we would have no Kevin Smith, Judd Apatow, Todd Phillips, or Wes Anderson. Plus, I'd argue that TV shows such as Seinfeld, The Simpsons, or The Office could not have succeeded without the road paved by his legacy. Conan O'Brien would not be the new host of The Tonight Show, without the impact of John Hughes.
Hughes made it acceptable to create screen heroes out of misanthropic slackers. His style was post-modern and sarcastic, in a way that turned everything on its head. Hughes took "the antihero" and merged it with "the sidekick" and "the everyman," forming a new and original character for film culture. Look at his early screenplays National Lampoon's Vacation and Mr. Mom, two prime examples of his ability to take the everyman and turn him into a hero through sheer wit. His "brat pack" films were famous not only for being funny, but also for treating high school kids like adults. This, of course, would later influence everything from Saved By The Bell to Gossip Girl. His latter-day "kids" movies such as Home Alone and Curly Sue, didn't stray far from the same ideas. The only difference was, the lead characters got much younger and the writing got a bit sloppier. It was a disappointing turn of events, after the promising adulthood projects such as She's Having A Baby and Planes, Trains & Automobiles. Even though these more mature films were not the massive cultural landmarks of his earlier work, how can you not see the same trajectory of Apatow or Smith, in how Hughes went from project to project?
And, what about side effects of his influence, like music soundtracks? Before the film soundtrack was converted into a merchandise item, Hughes deftly scored his 1980s films with state-of-the-art pop songs. He singlehandedly helped create radio hits that were resonant ("Don't You Forget About Me"), pointless ("Weird Science"), and somewhere in between ("Pretty In Pink"). He was the first auteur of the MTV generation, and shaped an audio/visual experience that I still can't shake. John Hughes did spend the 1990s seemingly on-the-run from these breakthrough moments. He wrote odd adult/kid hybrid films such as Dutch and Career Opportunities. He entered an unusual phase of unnecessarily remaking classic material such as 101 Dalmatians, Miracle on 34th Street, Dennis The Menace, and Flubber. Then, there were the frankly embarrassing children's films Beethoven and Baby's Day Out.
His last produced, original screenplay was for the 1998 drama Reach The Rock, an indie film directed by his onetime assistant William Ryan. After that brief glimmer, Hughes slowly faded into the distance and became a recluse. Now, at the young age of 59, he's dead over 10 years since we last saw a film with his unique voice. It's a sad thing, but all I can hope is that there are pages and pages of unproduced screenplays waiting to be unearthed. Just because he didn't have the stomach for Hollywood, doesn't mean he stopped writing, does it? No one that prolific and talented can just hang it up, can they? Like one of his memorable characters (Ferris Bueller, Clark Griswold, Duckie, Samantha Baker, Kevin McCallister), he'll always keep us guessing.

When Cholesterol Poses a Higher Risk
If you have high cholesterol, you probably know you should take steps to reduce it. But some people have additional risk factors for heart disease that make it even more important to focus on cholesterol health.
What Your Risks Mean
Elevated cholesterol levels contribute to plaque buildup in the arteries, called atherosclerosis. This buildup can slowly harden and narrow the arteries, increasing the risk for heart attack and stroke.
Having additional risk factors doesn't necessarily mean you will develop serious heart problems. But it does mean you may need to be more aggressive in managing your cholesterol to prevent them. In addition to making important lifestyle changes such as eating a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, exercising regularly, losing weight, and not smoking, your doctor may recommend a lower target for your LDL, or "bad," cholesterol. Those at high risk for heart disease should aim for an LDL of 70 mg/dL.
Some risk factors for heart disease that may affect your cholesterol management plan include the following:
The risk for heart disease and stroke among people with diabetes is the same as for someone who is already diagnosed with cardiovascular disease. As a result, lowering LDL cholesterol—which is a major factor for atherosclerosis—is key for people with diabetes.
Diabetes poses a big risk for heart disease because it can offset the balance of good and bad cholesterol in your body. This condition, called diabetic dyslipidemia, can contribute significantly to clogged arteries.
The good news is that by aggressively lowering LDL levels, a person with diabetes can reduce his or her risk of heart complications by 20% to 50%.
As we get older, the likelihood of developing heart disease increases. This is especially true for men older than age 45 and women who have gone through menopause, which is usually around age 55. Women's risk for heart disease increases at this time because their estrogen levels drop. If women go through menopause earlier, they may also develop heart disease earlier.
In addition to an increased risk for heart disease, the likelihood of developing health conditions that contribute to the disease also creeps up with age. These include high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and diabetes.
Keep in mind that developing high cholesterol and other risk factors isn't inevitable. There are healthy lifestyle habits like good diet, exercise, and keeping your weight down that can reduce your risk as you age. It's also wise to work closely with your doctor and keep tabs on these risk factors. For example, experts recommend getting cholesterol levels checked every five years beginning at age 20.
High Blood Pressure
Just like high cholesterol, high blood pressure is a major risk factor for heart disease. High blood pressure damages the lining of the arteries, making it more likely you'll develop atherosclerosis.
When you have high cholesterol and high blood pressure at the same time, you have a much greater risk for heart attack and stroke. But keep in mind, you may have elevated blood pressure and not even know it. Just like high cholesterol, high blood pressure creates no symptoms. Make sure you know your blood pressure number. If it's 140/90 mm/Hg or greater, talk with your doctor about steps you can take to keep it under control.
Family History of Heart Disease
If heart disease runs in your family, you have a greater chance of having it, too. This is especially true if family members developed the disease at an early age. There is a greater chance that you will develop heart disease if your father or brother had a heart attack before age 55, or if your mother or sister had one before age 65.
Although you can't change your family's health history, you can control other risk factors for heart disease. By reducing high cholesterol through lifestyle changes and possibly medication, you can greatly reduce your likelihood of developing heart problems.

Breaking News: Oregon RT's in DC
40 to 50 helicopters in the air, motorcades with big limos and attached flags, followed by ominous big, black SUVs was the scene in Washington DC on March 9th. Marching protestors in hospital gowns, complete with signs, protested in favor of healthcare reform, as noted by the picture in both the USA Today and the Oregonian. Healthcare advocacy ads "clog airwaves" according to USA Today (3/10/10, 5A). And health care workers clogged the sidewalks around the Senate and House offices. The chest physicians, alziemers groups, lab techs, rehab folks, homecare companies, all were tromping the halls of Congress promoting their issues.
Heatlhcare Reform was literally in the air, on our recent PACT trip to DC, where over 100 RT's from Alaska to Florida, Oregon to Maine and states in-between. Tony Garber, RT manager at Hermiston's Good Samaritan Hospital and OSRC Eastern Director, participated in the seven meetings with the Oregon Congressional Delegation. We also had Jerry Killian, an Alpha One patient from Oregon provide the patient perspective on the difficulty of daily living with COPD, home oxygen and the lung transplant process. Jerry's story was passionate and powerful, eliciting a strong response from the legislative aides in our meetings.
As I said at the Feb OSRC Conference, RN's, PT's, OT's, Speech Pathologists, Radiology, MRI, Ultrasound, EEG, you name them, they are reimbursed by Medicare for services provided outside of the hospital. Respiratory Therapists are the only ancillary group that is not reimbursed for services outside the hospital. So our trip to Washington, DC is to gain reimbursement for RT's, which will improve access, care and cost to our asthma and COPD patients. We want to revise the Medicare statue to add recognition of respiratory therapy services as a separate Medicare Part B benefit to permit qualified RT's to provide respiratory therapy services under the general supervision of a physician.
The second issue we brought to Congress was to have the bills (S343 & HR 1077), described above, reviewed by the Congressional Business Office, who will determine how much this will cost Medicare.
Our third issue is to improve research funding for COPD. As you know, COPD is the #4 killer in America, but will become #3 by 2020. Research funds are pitiful, compared to cardiac, diabetes, AIDS, and other top diseases.
We also discuss home oxygen equipment issues and Jerry described what it's like to live with the 'green leash'.
Healthcare Reform has passed and President Obama has signed this historic legislation. RT's tried to include our legislation into HCR but were unsuccessful thus far. For a brief description of what HCR is see http://www.kff.org/healthreform/8061.cfm

Mares Razor Pro is a new fin with an interchangeable blade. The foot pocket is incredibly comfortable due to the design developed in collaboration with a leading Italian foot (podology) clinic. Its shapes and the extra thickness on the instep and the tensioners under the arch have been meticulously researched to convey the maximum amount of energy produced to the blade, yet still provide complete comfort.
The variable-thickness blade bends during the various phases of fining action, achieving an ideal flexion curve; this is due in part to the use of the best techno-polymers, the true core of agility and elasticity. The special design of the channels on the blade and the lateral stringers on the foot pocket make it possible to channel and increase the flow of water toward the pronounced V" at the tip, increasing thrust and preventing the fin from slipping laterally. Its light weight and power give the Razor Pro the best yield among all the techno-polymer fins currently available on the market. Fin pocket comes in 5 sizes and comes with a 24 month limited warranty.
The Mares Razor Pro Spear Fishing Full Foot Fin is commonly used for Snorkeling and more. The Mares Razor Pro Spear Fishing Full Foot Fin is popular because customers like the following qualities of the Mares Razor Pro Spear Fishing Full Foot Fin: Comfortable, Efficient, Lightweight.
This product has a limited warranty of 24 months.

Comments about Mares Razor Pro Spear Fishing Full Foot Fin:
Have made use of these fins for the past 4 weeks, usually 2-4 times per week. I purchased the grey fin option. They are slightly more flexible than the black versions. Most of the diving I do is from shore and involves sustained time swimming at the surface and diving in the 20'-30' range. The more flexible grey fins work perfect for this.
I have wider feet and the foot pockets are comfortable and fit well. When purchasing, be aware though that the sizes indicated are to be worn with a 3mm sock and not barefoot. For example, I wear a 9.5 shoe and order the 8.5-9.5 fins. With a 3mm sock they fit perfectly.

Comments about Mares Razor Pro Spear Fishing Full Foot Fin:
I bought these for free diving this summer for Lobsters off the coast of MA. I have never owned a pair of fins like these so this was a first. I loved the price compared to others I was looking at online. They took a beating with no signs of wear and felt smooth. I started using them without a pair of booties and paid the price with two huge blisters on my Achilles. I went out a bought a pair of 2mm neoprene socks and they worked like a charm. All in alll I LOVE THESE FINNS AND WILL KEEP THEM FOR A LONG TIME!!!

Biobased products are maturing and are better received in many applications than in the years past. This is due to the continuous improvement in their quality and an inherent high lubricity that shines when used in metalworking applications. Biobased lubricants are produced from modified vegetable oils, biobased derived synthetic esters, and a combination of those mixed with a number of performance enhancing additives. Industrial lubricants as opposed to automotive lubricants include way oils, hydraulic fluids, greases and metal cutting oils and water emulsified coolants. Biobased versions of these products are now commonly used either exclusively or side by side with the conventional oils in many shops.
Vegetable oils in general offer superb lubricity, and due to their lower volatility and higher thin film strength they can be a great source of base oils for metalworking applications. These oils help to improve tool life and reduce fire hazards. Vegetable oils, however, would need to be chemically modified and fortified with various anti-oxidants to survive the demanding environment of metalworking machinery. Chemical modifications of vegetable oils which could be as simple as hydrogenation to more complex esterification processes can add to the cost of the final product. Products that are not oxidatively stable lead to rancidity and odor in cutting oils and to breakdown in coolants.
Due to the notoriety of biofuels and the need for non-food base oils for use in biofuels, there is an increased interest in industrial crops. In addition to known industrial oils such as castor and linseed, there are other oils like jojoba, camelina, cuphea and lesquerella, to name a few, that are less known but are among oils being investigated for their industrial use potential. A review of the research at the Association for Advancement of Industrial Crops (AAIC) shows the breadth of the new crops being investigated for industrial applications. Biobased lubricants have been the beneficiary of the increased interest and investment in the biofuel technologies.
Simultaneously, there have been advances in the crop seed technologies, especially in soybean seeds that yield soybeans with healthier oils. Such oils generally do not require hydrogenation, which is used to improve oxidation stability in frying. Hydrogenation tends to result in the formation of trans-fats and negative health consequences. The non-food use of these new, healthier oils is promising because the infrastructure for creating large volumes is already in place. Once these seeds enter the agriculture markets with some premium for growing, the farming industry can deliver large volumes in effectively.
Major brands of these soybean oils are known for their higher oleic acid content. These oils present a high level of oxidation stability for frying and perform well in lubricant applications where high stability is desired. The high stability oils can have dual use having been designed for more stability in frying but perform well on industrial uses. There are also new oils from unconventional sources such as algae. High oleic and stable oils from algae are commercially available with potential for use in industrial and metalworking applications.
The current trend is for enhanced vegetable oils from modified seeds or algae with high stability to be used for improved biobased metalworking fluids and other industrial lubricants and greases. Gradually, a shift to non-food industrial crops, especially those that are native to various geographic locations and can be processed regionally will increase the use of biobased products. Some of these products will be made with vegetable oils are not modified but include performance enhancing additives. Other products, especially when designed for large scale use, will be bio oils that are chemically modified mostly through esterification so as to remove any variability in performance due to changes in the growing season. Simple and complex esters can be manufactured from many biobased oils including vegetable oil and animal fats and yield a tight tolerance in performance. This could then mimic the performance of petroleum oils that are classified in groups I, II, etc.

Below is the poem entitled FROM HELL TO ME which was written by poet
Owens. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
Miriam Owens
Hidden away by a Mother's love
To the protective torture of the clergy glove
Sentenced to a life of hell
Before life began, the hammer fell
Frightened children, black and white
The dog yard coffin, the dark of night
The stars looked down on naked flesh
Scared eyes looked up through wire mesh
Until the stars could look no more
And the sun, it opened daylights door
The demons woke and walked the halls
The scream of silent "help me" calls
No one hears their silent pain
Or see's the blood between the grain
A nation's fear of God above
No one to hold, no one to love
Finally a letter states
We want them home, freedom awaits
But where is heaven, where is hell
Through their fear, they cannot tell
Violence, drink and Daddie's girl
Wishing she could be a pearl
All safe and snug, within the clam
No one to fear, but who I am
So, who am I and what's my worth
What's my purpose, on this earth?
I'm here to live, and one day die.
I am me – myself – Just I

Beautiful Beginnings with NARS
Beautiful Beginnings with NARS
What was the first NARSproduct you ever tried? Did it pave way for a real romance or did it put you off the brand entirely? What was the first NARSproduct you purchased? Did you love it? Hate it? Still own it?
my answer: One of the first NARS products I ever reviewed was actually their skincare, which is surprisingly good (but less surprising, when you realize they're owned by Shiseido, which is a brand that really knows skincare!). I still love their Hydrating Moisture Cream! There are some great NARS products, but I've also tried several products that I really haven't liked (Shadow Pencils, I'm looking at you!). My all-time favorite product is their Smudgeproof Eyeshadow Primer, though!

(Memphis) Superstorm Sandy has spurred a relief effort far and wide.
In the Mid-South Red Cross Volunteer Walk Bodner is heading to the East Coast, "It's helping people and I remember doing that all my life."
Bodner will work out of a distribution center in New Jersey.
He'll be one of the 5000 Red Cross Volunteers on the ground, "We`ll be camping out in a survival type environment living on cots in an empty building and it will be interesting."
He'll give disaster assistance to thousands of people displaced by Sandy, "Disaster assistance is free given by us, but it's actually a gift by the American people."
While organizations like the Red Cross are there, other people are taking matters into their own hands.
"I'm from Seaside Heights, NJ. My family has been there for four generations. It has been wiped out and just waiting to see if our house will get a red X from FEMA," Skip Coctie said.
So Coctie started a grass-roots relief effort here in the Mid-South, "To have people help people."
He got some help from families at the St. George's School in Germantown.
They helped pack a large truck with clothes, water and paper goods.
Coctie will now drive it to New Jersey and deliver the items to two distribution centers.
And that's not all.
"The New Jersey Amusement Association is helping me set up a kitchen that will feed 450 people a day three times a day," he said.
Two Mid-South men making their mark on the storm ravaged Jersey coast.

To the Editor:
Well, this is a good day. When one redeems themselves it's a good day. But, I didn't do it alone. Redeem, I mean. I had help.
I've never voted against a school levy. Ever. In all my years of voting, never turned down a school levy until past school levy.
I would like to say it was because my kids are out of school. Or, seniors are on a fixed income or property taxes are too high as it is or is getting dry.
But that's not true. I think I am the sole person who keeps Dollar General in business, so if I have money for candles and little bags of cookies and Paula Dean's magazine then I can stir up the pot for other things. I was going to vote this levy down again. And then I got a phone call at 9:15 at night; and at 9:15 at night, I am out like a light; sleeping.
The call was from my 16-year-old granddaughter, Delaney Rae. She said, "Grandma, it's Delaney. Is it true you are going to vote down the school levy?" I pondered that question for a split second and then I said, " Hello? Hello? Do we have a bad connection?"
Delaney asked me questions about my reasoning. I tried to answer them. I tried to justify my decision. I came up with no justifications that would come even remotely close to turning my back on her and Emmie and Max and their friends and their future and the need to do for them what others did for my kids and on down the line. Sometimes trying to keep up the old is more costly than forging ahead on the new. Upkeep is expensive. People my age can attest to that statement.
This new school is a long time coming. Yes it will cost money. But there is no better money spent than on our Malvern students. I'm going to ask those students to be happy and work hard and be proud. I'm also going to thank Delaney for waking me up out of a sound sleep and fighting for every vote needed knowing that she will not benefit from this new school, but her brother and sister will.
Lastly, kudos to the voters. This school will be a huge plus for this community.
Now, let's try to move this project along with local workers, local suppliers and local talent.

I've shared this before — pretty much anytime over the past four years that someone has asked to read something of mine, and a couple times on my previous blog as well — but I'm sharing it again. Mainly that is because I'm planning to share another excerpt from the same story tomorrow, involving the same characters, but they'll need to be fresh in your mind.
So: this is an excerpt from The Adventures of Jimmy Stick, which I have been working on and agonizing over since 2002. The scene is sometime after Jimmy is executed by the government via laser from space and ends up escaping from hell and reaching heaven, where he meets and gets high with his Creator. As they smoke, the Creator fills Jimmy in on what's been happening back on Earth, where the government has replaced him with a robot programmed to quote scripture. The robot has hooked up with Jimmy's girlfriend Claire, who doesn't realize the robot isn't the real Jimmy.
That's pretty much all you need to know going in. So.
Claire and Robot Jimmy: Robot Blues
Jimmy had been a lot different since he came back with the weird clothes and the new first initial. He refused to tell her what the R stood for, and Jimmy had never been able to say no before. He had pretty much gotten rid of Paul, who had started sleeping on Benny's couch. R. Jimmy had even gone out and gotten a better job and was making enough money now that maybe she could be happy.
"<beep>Claire," said R. Jimmy when he answered the door. "<beep>Come in."
"Thank you, Jimmy." She went inside and R. Jimmy shut the door.
"<beep>What is to bring you to my Jimmy Stick's house? <beep>Are you still feeling the sorrows for Jerry, his dying?"
"Oh, Jimmy. Yes." R. Jimmy knew what was bothering her, and you never had before. It inspired new feelings in Claire's heart. She was warming to R. Jimmy, and her sadness lessened.
"<beep>It will being all right soon, Claire. <beep>Jerry is with the Lord now…" R. Jimmy paused, then went on. "<beep>If you would like … <beep>to pray?" He hesitated. The truth is that R. Jimmy was warming to Claire as well, and had been since he first laid optics on her. R. Jimmy, as a matter of fact, was getting a big robot boner. It was something he had never experienced before. He had not been programmed for anything like this. Claire made his oils and greases fizz inside him; she made him light-headed. R. Jimmy did not want to pray.
Let's get this clear: Claire is a whore. The fact that she is always such a bitch tends to drive everyone away from her, but Claire has learned that most men will put up with it if she sleeps with them. Since she is such a bitch, she takes full advantage of this.
But what Claire did now… She was not doing it because she is a whore, or because she is a bitch. Because R. Jimmy was doing what no one had ever done; he was trying to make it better for her, and he understood.
If it makes you feel any better, she found no joy in sleeping with R. Jimmy. She had never felt about anyone the way she felt about him, but she could think of no other way to show him that than the thing she had done with pretty much all your friends.
As for R. Jimmy, though he had never been programmed for this, his anatomy had been carefully designed. His robotic member was monstrously abnormal; it was of unlikely proportion and the shape was just all wrong, with sharp bits poking out. R. Jimmy's creators knew that a robot could never enter Holy Matrimony, and therefore any sexual relations had by the robot would be immoral, and therefore those relations were going to hurt.
He had done as no robot ever had before; he had found the emotion love. But it had been ruined for him before he was ever turned on. R. Jimmy felt a terrible rage burning in his heart as Claire writhed and screamed to his caress.
. . .
R. Jimmy continued to brood for many days. He was careful to hide it from Claire, because on the first morning after they first did it she had seen the look in his viewplate and got all freaked out. He could not figure out how to tell her of the agony he felt inside when he was putting her in that other, more physical agony.
Whenever Claire was not around — rare — R. Jimmy would try talking to the more sophisticated appliances in your house. Your computer he simply could not get along with. The toaster offered him warmth, but he loved only Claire and the toaster could see that. R. Jimmy began to think he was cursed to bring pain to all around him. Then he finally got acquainted with the Television.
Television understood.
. . .
R. Jimmy's days passed like this:
His internal clock would boot him up at five forty-five each morning. R. Jimmy would pray then, but he no longer felt the passion. He would then change his fluids in the bathroom, shine his body plating, rinse his bill and it was off to work. He had gotten this job through Dillon, so it was probably questionable, but it doesn't really matter what it was. Maybe he was selling stolen cars or something. He would work a good ten hours to make the cheese, and then he would return to your house. He always masturbated before changing his fluids and going to make dinner for Claire. That's right. R. Jimmy cooked for her every night, and Claire ate it up.
While Claire was eating, R. Jimmy would watch the news. He liked to watch Fox News. After watching the news for a while, R. Jimmy would switch over to some primetime game show and Claire would come sit with him. After the game show they would watch a drama, and then two sit-coms and it was time for bed. R. Jimmy picked Claire up and carried her to the bed every single night, and then he would hurt her for about twenty minutes and she would sigh the same sigh each night before falling asleep.
As Claire's breathing became steady and even with sleep, R. Jimmy would sit on the edge of the bed with his head in his hands. No matter how long he sobbed, no tears could emerge from his viewplate and he began to think about crashing his own CPU.
That was when he began screwing the Television.
. . .
R. Jimmy poured his soul out to the Television, and Television told him not to worry. It was going to be okay. What he needed to do, Television told him, was go out and buy many things. These things would incrementally increase his happiness. R. Jimmy believed this because it seemed logical to his robotic brain.
R. Jimmy bought a shiny new car in which to drive to and from work. He also used it to drive to a new grocery store further from your house where rich humans go to buy their rich human food. R. Jimmy went to the mall and picked up a cell phone and a CD player for his new car. He bought a DVD player and a bunch of DVDs to go with it. He bought some tools to fix up the house. He bought a lot of food for some reason; maybe he thought Claire would eat all those cheeseburgers and tacos. Television seemed to agree with him.
But R. Jimmy did not become incrementally happier. He did not become happier in any way as a matter of fact, but he did not question Television. Clearly, there was something else missing. R. Jimmy knew what that something else was. He could not bear the pain he caused his beloved Claire. He asked Television what to do about it, but Television had no answer.

Four local schools were recognized by the state of Tennessee for academic growth and achievement on standardized tests for the 2012-13 school year.
The schools – Fairmont, Lake Ridge and Town Acres elementary schools in the Johnson City district and University School in the Washington County district – ranked in either the top 5 percent of schools in the state for annual growth or the top five percent for academic achievement.
The Tennessee Value-Added Assessment Scores, released Monday by the state Department of Education, makes the four schools Reward Schools, along with 165 other learning institutions statewide.
Out of five possible levels denoting each school's effectiveness in three areas of instruction, Lake Ridge, Towne Acres and University School all received perfect scores in literacy, math and overall, meaning the students in those schools made outstanding gains on the TCAP tests.
Fairmont Elementary received scores of five in math and overall and a four in literacy.
