Great in deep snow & mud. At 10,000 miles, good wear although tires seem to hum more than when new. However, they are a serious mud tire and are perfect for Midwestern mud & snow. Will buy another set when these wear out.

Every student who studies abroad has different reasons and goals. High priorities for many students include developing sophisticated perspectives on global economic, social, and political issues, seeing the theoretical come to life in a real-world context, learning or perfecting a second (or third!) language, engaging with people and cultures different from their own, developing valuable career skills, and earning academic credit toward a Lehigh degree. You may find, as students before you have, that study abroad is a catalyst for intellectual and personal growth.
The Study Abroad office is here to advise and guide you through the entire process from planning to returning home. Students are encouraged to begin the planning process early in their college career by reviewing information on this site and discussing opportunities with their academic advisor(s) and the Study Abroad Office.

One feature of PHP that can be used to enhance security is configuring PHP with register_globals = off. By turning off the ability for any user-submitted variable to be injected into PHP code, you can reduce the amount of variable poisoning a potential attacker may inflict. They will have to take the additional time to forge submissions, and your internal variables are effectively isolated from user submitted data.
While it does slightly increase the amount of effort required to work with PHP, it has been argued that the benefits far outweigh the effort.

If you want to remove or change your CBR (captive bead ring) body jewelry, it's not quite as simple as it sounds. In fact, if you ask someone how to remove it, chances are they'll tell you to go see your piercer. Including me. I know, I know – you don't want a lecture, you just want to change your jewelry. But do me a favor and oblige me for just a minute and I'll explain the reason for the lecture.
[Lecture] To any professional, your safety is the most important thing. People have gotten infections and ripped their skin open trying to do these things themselves. And the simple fact of the matter is – your piercer will do it for you for free. A quick trip to the studio and you're in and out at no charge, so what's the big deal?
All right, now let's be real. There comes a time that almost all of us have to change our own jewelry and a trip to the piercing studio is just not realistic. The key is to know what you're doing so you don't end up hurting yourself.
How to Remove a CBR
If you have a lot of piercings and plan on changing your jewelry often, I strongly suggest that you invest in a pair of ring opening pliers and a pair of ring closing pliers. They are exactly as they sound – special tools designed for the removal and closing of CBRs.
If you don't have a pair of ring opening pliers, a pair of needle-nosed pliers will do the trick. Note: This is where people end up hurting themselves or ruining their jewelry. Needle-nosed pliers are not made for body jewelry. They can make scratches in the metal, which is a breeding ground for bacteria. It is absolutely essential that the surface of the ring is not scratched! Therefore, what you need to do is wrap the needle-nose with some kind of soft tape such as electrical or masking. Make sure the tape is clean, but keep in mind that this is far from the sterile treatment your piercing would get at a studio.
Now, place the wrapped needle-nosed end into the center of the CBR and slowly pry the ring open. Be prepared for the bead/ball to fall out by holding your other hand under the ring to catch it. After the bead has fallen out, there will be a space in the CBR. If the space does not look large enough, you can pry it open a little more with your pliers, being careful not to warp the ring shape.
Once you have a large enough space, you can remove the CBR. Slowly turn the ring – don't pull it. As you rotate the CBR, the space will reach a point where it can be carefully pulled away from the skin. If the space still isn't big enough, turn it back and open it more and try again. You don't want to force it out.

|Burning operations continue on Shortoff: Expect smoke
|Written by Lauren Ohnesorge
|Wednesday, 27 June 2007 06:34
It's day two of the burnout operation at the Shortoff Wildfire, according to Incident Information Officer Gil Knight.Firefighters anticipate burning 800 acres today and 100 acres tomorrow. That means lots of smoke. Expect to see smoke north of the fire area, Knight said. Yesterday, smokedrifts reached Watauga County. Burning operations are contingent on the weather. Firefighters burn portions of the fire area to get rid of potential kindling.
They are very careful to see how an area reacts to fire before undertaking burnout operations, he said.As of last night, the Shortoff Mountain Fire's acreage was reported at 3,308. The Dobson Knob fire, on the other hand, is 100 percent contained, though crews are still watching hot spots.

Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close: A Novelby Jonathan Safran Foer
Staff Pick
Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close is one of those novels you'll be sorry to see end. Inventor, jewelry designer, Francophile, tambourine player, and pacifist, nine-year-old Oskar careens from Central Park to Coney Island searching for a lock to fit the mysterious key left by his now deceased father. Oskar is endearing and imaginative; his voice captivates from the first page to the last. He tends to attract a motley crew of characters all groping for catharsis amidst various degrees of loss. Again, Foer tackles the big questions of love, truth, and beauty with a flare rare amongst contemporary writers.
I absolutely loved Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close a most precious and delightful novel by Jonathan Safran Foer. Oskar Schell made me laugh, smile, and just feel good. He is a charmer who's won my heart through the tears and the joy.
"Everything Is Illuminated was a wonderful debut novel, funny and touching, it was also awkward and clunky the way first attempts often are....Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close is, by contrast, the result of a more mature and even pen. Even Foer's flashier tricks, rather than overwhelming the story, serve to heighten the emotionality. It seems clear at this point that Foer has successfully graduated from being a one-off wunderkind to an accomplished and graceful writer. What he has given us is not just a remarkably clever work, but the 9/11 story we need, even if we didn't know it." Priya Jain, Salon.com (read the entire Salon.com review)
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Oskar Schell is an inventor, Francophile, tambourine player, Shakespearean actor, jeweler, pacifist. He is nine years old. And he is on an urgent, secret search through the five boroughs of New York to find the lock that fits a mysterious key belonging to his father, who died in the attacks on the World Trade Center.
An inspired creation, Oskar is endearing, exasperating and unforgettable. His search for the lock careens from Central Park to Coney Island to the Bronx and beyond. But it also travels into history, to Dresden and Hiroshima, where horrific bombings once shattered other lives. Along the way, Oskar encounters a motley assortment of humanity — a 103-year-old war reporter, a tour guide who never leaves the Empire State Building, lovers enraptured or scorned — all survivors in their own ways.
Ultimately, Oskar ends his journey where it began, at his father's grave. But now he is accompanied by the silent stranger who has been renting the spare room of his grandmother's apartment. They are there to dig up his father's empty coffin.
Rarely does a writer as young as Jonathan Foer display such virtuosity and wisdom. "His prose is clever, challenging, willfully constructed to make you read it again and again," said Marie Arana, in the Washington Post Book World, of Everything Is Illuminated. Once again Foer turns his capacious talent and vision to devastating events and finds solice in that most human quality, imagination. Extemely Loud and Incredibly Close boldly approaches history and tragedy with humor, tenderness and awe.
"Oskar Schell, hero of this brilliant follow-up to Foer's bestselling Everything Is Illuminated, is a nine-year-old amateur inventor, jewelry designer, astrophysicist, tambourine player and pacifist. Like the second-language narrator of Illuminated, Oskar turns his navely precocious vocabulary to the understanding of historical tragedy, as he searches New York for the lock that matches a mysterious key left by his father when he was killed in the September 11 attacks, a quest that intertwines with the story of his grandparents, whose lives were blighted by the firebombing of Dresden. Foer embellishes the narrative with evocative graphics, including photographs, colored highlights and passages of illegibly overwritten text, and takes his unique flair for the poetry of miscommunication to occasionally gimmicky lengths, like a two-page soliloquy written entirely in numerical code. Although not quite the comic tour de force that Illuminated was, the novel is replete with hilarious and appalling passages, as when, during show-and-tell, Oskar plays a harrowing recording by a Hiroshima survivor and then launches into a Poindexterish disquisition on the bomb's 'charring effect.' It's more of a challenge to play in the same way with the very recent collapse of the towers, but Foer gambles on the power of his protagonist's voice to transform the cataclysm from raw current event to a tragedy at once visceral and mythical. Unafraid to show his traumatized characters' constant groping for emotional catharsis, Foer demonstrates once again that he is one of the few contemporary writers willing to risk sentimentalism in order to address great questions of truth, love and beauty. Agent, Nicole Aragi. 11-city author tour; foreign rights sold in 12 countries. (Apr. 4)" Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
"[B]eautifully designed second from the gifted young author....[A] riveting narrative....[A] brilliant fiction works thrilling variations on, and consolations for, its plangent message: that 'in the end, everyone loses everyone.' Yes, but look what Foer has found." Kirkus Reviews
"[Oskar's] first-person narration of his journey is arrestingly beautiful, and readers won't soon forget him....
"Perhaps Foer's book is the opening trickle in a flood of World Trade Center novels to come. Most will undoubtedly be worse than this one because few writers of any age can wield a pen with Foer's intensity, yet few will be so extremely manipulative and incredibly cloying." Chicago Tribune
"Although [the Dresden] story is not quite as evocative as Oskar's, it does carry forward and connect firmly to the rest of the novel. The two stories finally intersect in a powerful conclusion that will make even the most jaded hearts fall." School Library Journal
Jonathan Safran Foer emerged as one of the most original writers of his generation with his best-selling debut novel, Everything is Illuminated. Now, with humor, tenderness, and awe, he confronts the traumas of our recent history. What he discovers is solace in that most human quality, imagination.
Jonathan Safran Foer follows his best-selling debut novel, Everything Is Illuminated, with an unexpectedly hilarious and affecting story about New York City in the period following September 11
Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close recasts recent history through the eyes of Oskar Schell, an unusually intelligent nine-year-old on an urgent quest to find the lock that matches a mysterious key belonging to his father, who died in the World Trade Center. This unlikely adventure takes Oskar through every city borough and into contact with survivors of all sorts, and it's his irrepressible voice—one that few writers could conceive as imaginatively as Foer does—that transforms the tragedy of circumstance into an exhilarating tribute to love.
Jonathan Safran Foer emerged as one of the most original writers of his generation with his best-selling debut novel, Everything Is Illuminated. Now, with humor, tenderness, and awe, he confronts the traumas of our recent history. What he discovers is solace in that most human quality, imagination.
Meet Oskar Schell, an inventor, Francophile, tambourine player, Shakespearean actor, jeweler, pacifist, correspondent with Stephen Hawking and Ringo Starr. He is nine years old. And he is on an urgent, secret search through the five boroughs of New York. His mission is to find the lock that fits a mysterious key belonging to his father, who died in the World Trade Center on 9/11.
An inspired innocent, Oskar is alternately endearing, exasperating, and hilarious as he careens from Central Park to Coney Island to Harlem on his search. Along the way he is always dreaming up inventions to keep those he loves safe from harm. What about a birdseed shirt to let you fly away? What if you could actually hear everyone's heartbeat? His goal is hopeful, but the past speaks a loud warning in stories of those who've lost loved ones before. As Oskar roams New York, he encounters a motley assortment of humanity who are all survivors in their own way. He befriends a 103-year-old war reporter, a tour guide who never leaves the Empire State Building, and lovers enraptured or scorned. Ultimately, Oskar ends his journey where it began, at his father's grave. But now he is accompanied by the silent stranger who has been renting the spare room of his grandmother's apartment. They are there to dig up his father's empty coffin.

For photographers on the move, there's nothing quite like the full-frame performance available with the EOS 6D. It's designed to be portable, light and simple to operate yet doesn't compromise the quality one expects from EOS SLRs. With an aluminum alloy and polycarbonate chassis and a magnesium polycarbonate resin exterior, plus a shutter rated to 100,000 cycles, the EOS 6D offers the perfect combination of lightweight and durable materials for reliable operation day after day.
The Integrated Cleaning System featured in the EOS 6D delivers great dust removal for clearer images. To prevent dust accumulation, the system removes particles on the surface of the glass filter by vibrating the glass ultrasonically. The particles are then absorbed by an adsorbent at the bottom of the unit; the unit itself is completely sealed for protection against external contaminants, and the front face of the low-pass glass filter is treated with an anti-dust fluorine coating, making it easier to remove damp or sticky dust particles.
Prices and specifications subject to change without notice. Actual prices are determined by individual dealers and may vary.

text: shockpic 5pts Just bought one..... Got the XJ Supercharged Black with Tan interior and the supercharged. Waiting on the shipment to me... (this will feel like an eternity) I drove the XJL and fell in love with the power and handling. I can only imagine the extra 100 hp Im going to get with the supercharged. I was shopping for a conv sports car in the lines of my current car the Lexus SC430. My life has changed a bit and needed a back seat. So in a couple of weeks I will come back to the site and give you all the low down on how the super charge drives.

By TERRY WILLISSun Advocate reporter
It always amazes me that with everything that goes on in this world, the one area that seems to get the most attention is sports.
I know at the newspaper that it seems that we can get more calls about sports than about any article written about commission meetings or such. I write the sports so I get to hear about all the mistakes and omissions I make.
As a parent and proud grandparent, I like to see my child's name in the paper. I was also involved in organized sports for as long as I can remember.
I love sports and am as competitive as can be. But I also realize that competitive sports really only benefit a small portion of our youth. For a healthy life style we need to foster a love of an active lifestyle. That includes physical, social and cultural activities.
Recreation is defined as a refreshment of one's mind or body through activity that amuses or stimulates; in other words, play. Carbon Recreation should just be that, a community recreation resource. A few times a year, I am paid to help out with activities that Carbon Rec sponsors. I also volunteer for other activities they sponsor.
I do it because it is a joy to watch kids and adults discover a new skill and activity that they can enjoy. A sport learning program is also a part of the recreation package. It's cool to see kids learn how to play just a bit better.
I just finished up helping with the K-1 Junior jazz program at my grand-daughters school. The kids did not play one game, but they had fun. Some of these kids will go on to excel in basketball, many will not.
As I covered the high school teams this season, I watched the struggles and the triumphs of the kids who participated. I interviewed several and many have no plans to play sports past graduation.
The rate of kids dreaming to make it big in sports was about the same on the winning teams as the ones who were suffering losing seasons. The reality is that there are only a few kids in any given community that want to succeed in their sport so bad that they will commit to the time and effort it takes to make it big.
Turning our recreation program into a sports developmental league is not the answer to having winning seasons in football at the high school level. The junior high teams seem to do alright, the high school, not so good. Good luck to the coach that figures out why.
It really comes down to priorities of our community. I vote to keep our programs promoting healthy life styles over sports development. I think our community is a much richer place for what it has.
I also hope all our sports teams see a successful season this year. It is so much easier to cover winning teams as a sports writer. It is also much more fun for the kids that are playing.

42 U.S. Code § 7651 - Findings and purposes
prev | next
(a) Findings
The Congress finds that—
(1) the presence of acidic compounds and their precursors in the atmosphere and in deposition from the atmosphere represents a threat to natural resources, ecosystems, materials, visibility, and public health;
(2) the principal sources of the acidic compounds and their precursors in the atmosphere are emissions of sulfur and nitrogen oxides from the combustion of fossil fuels;
(4) strategies and technologies for the control of precursors to acid deposition exist now that are economically feasible, and improved methods are expected to become increasingly available over the next decade;
(5) current and future generations of Americans will be adversely affected by delaying measures to remedy the problem;
(6) reduction of total atmospheric loading of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides will enhance protection of the public health and welfare and the environment; and
(b) Purposes
The purpose of this subchapter is to reduce the adverse effects of acid deposition through reductions in annual emissions of sulfur dioxide of ten million tons from 1980 emission levels, and, in combination with other provisions of this chapter, of nitrogen oxides emissions of approximately two million tons from 1980 emission levels, in the forty-eight contiguous States and the District of Columbia. It is the intent of this subchapter to effectuate such reductions by requiring compliance by affected sources with prescribed emission limitations by specified deadlines, which limitations may be met through alternative methods of compliance provided by an emission allocation and transfer system. It is also the purpose of this subchapter to encourage energy conservation, use of renewable and clean alternative technologies, and pollution prevention as a long-range strategy, consistent with the provisions of this subchapter, for reducing air pollution and other adverse impacts of energy production and use.
Source(July 14, 1955, ch. 360, title IV, § 401, as added Pub. L. 101–549, title IV, § 401,Nov. 15, 1990, 104 Stat. 2584.)
Another section 401 of act July 14, 1955, as added by Pub. L. 91–604, § 14,Dec. 31, 1970, 84 Stat. 1709, is set out as a Short Title note under section 7401 of this title.
Acid Deposition Standards
Pub. L. 101–549, title IV, § 404,Nov. 15, 1990, 104 Stat. 2632, directed Administrator of Environmental Protection Agency, not later than 36 months after Nov. 15, 1990, to transmit to Congress a report on the feasibility and effectiveness of an acid deposition standard or standards to protect sensitive and critically sensitive aquatic and terrestrial resources.
Industrial SO2 Emissions
Pub. L. 101–549, title IV, § 406,Nov. 15, 1990, 104 Stat. 2632, provided that:
"(a) Report.—Not later than January 1, 1995 and every 5 years thereafter, the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency shall transmit to the Congress a report containing an inventory of national annual sulfur dioxide emissions from industrial sources (as defined in title IV of the Act [42 U.S.C. 7651 et seq.]), including units subject to section 405(g)(6) of the Clean Air Act [42 U.S.C. 7651d (g)(6)], for all years for which data are available, as well as the likely trend in such emissions over the following twenty-year period. The reports shall also contain estimates of the actual emission reduction in each year resulting from promulgation of the diesel fuel desulfurization regulations under section 214 [42 U.S.C. 7548].
"(b) 5.60 Million Ton Cap.—Whenever the inventory required by this section indicates that sulfur dioxide emissions from industrial sources, including units subject to section 405(g)(5) of the Clean Air Act [42 U.S.C. 7651d (g)(5)], may reasonably be expected to reach levels greater than 5.60 million tons per year, the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency shall take such actions under the Clean Air Act [42 U.S.C. 7401 et seq.] as may be appropriate to ensure that such emissions do not exceed 5.60 million tons per year. Such actions may include the promulgation of new and revised standards of performance for new sources, including units subject to section 405(g)(5) of the Clean Air Act, under section 111(b) of the Clean Air Act [42 U.S.C. 7411 (b)], as well as promulgation of standards of performance for existing sources, including units subject to section 405(g)(5) of the Clean Air Act, under authority of this section. For an existing source regulated under this section, 'standard of performance' means a standard which the Administrator determines is applicable to that source and which reflects the degree of emission reduction achievable through the application of the best system of continuous emission reduction which (taking into consideration the cost of achieving such emission reduction, and any nonair quality health and environmental impact and energy requirements) the Administrator determines has been adequately demonstrated for that category of sources.
"(c) Election.—Regulations promulgated under section 405(b) of the Clean Air Act [42 U.S.C. 7651d (b)] shall not prohibit a source from electing to become an affected unit under section 410 of the Clean Air Act [42 U.S.C. 7651i]."
[For termination, effective May 15, 2000, of reporting provisions in section 406(a) ofPub. L. 101–549, set out above, see section 3003 ofPub. L. 104–66, as amended, set out as a note under section 1113 of Title 31, Money and Finance, and the 10th item on page 162 of House Document No. 103–7.]
Sense of Congress on Emission Reductions Costs
Pub. L. 101–549, title IV, § 407,Nov. 15, 1990, 104 Stat. 2633, provided that: "It is the sense of the Congress that the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 [Pub. L. 101–549, see Tables for classification], through the allowance program, allocates the costs of achieving the required reductions in emissions of sulfur dioxide and oxides of nitrogen among sources in the United States. Broad based taxes and emissions fees that would provide for payment of the costs of achieving required emissions reductions by any party or parties other than the sources required to achieve the reductions are undesirable."
Monitoring of Acid Rain Program in Canada
Pub. L. 101–549, title IV, § 408,Nov. 15, 1990, 104 Stat. 2633, provided that:
"(a) Reports to Congress.—The Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, in consultation with the Secretary of State, the Secretary of Energy, and other persons the Administrator deems appropriate, shall prepare and submit a report to Congress on January 1, 1994, January 1, 1999, and January 1, 2005.
"(b) Contents.—The report to Congress shall analyze the current emission levels of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides in each of the provinces participating in Canada's acid rain control program, the amount of emission reductions of sulfur dioxide and oxides of nitrogen achieved by each province, the methods utilized by each province in making those reductions, the costs to each province and the employment impacts in each province of making and maintaining those reductions.
"(c) Compliance.—Beginning on January 1, 1999, the reports shall also assess the degree to which each province is complying with its stated emissions cap."

ALBUQUERQUE — Los Alamos' former big man had a big showing in his first collegiate outing.
Former Hilltopper superstar Alex Kirk posted a double-double to start his college career, leading the University of New Mexico Lobos to a 63-54 victory over Detroit Saturday night.
UNM and Kirk were stellar in their 2010-11 season opener against Detroit, as they cruised to a wire-to-wire victory front of 15,145 fans at the Pit.
Kirk had 10 points and 10 rebounds in his debut. Kirk, who led Los Alamos to a berth in the Class AAAA quarterfinals last season, is a true freshman for the Lobos this year.
Along with Kirk's big outing, Dairese Gary became the 28th Lobo in school history to record his 1,000th point to cap the evening.
Fittingly, it was Kirk who got UNM on the board first with a soft jumper in the lane 1:35 into the contest. The Lobos would never allow Detroit to get within two after that, and every time the Titans, who went 20-14 last year, tried to make a run, the Lobos had an answer.
After a seven point 15-8 lead was whittled to just two, Curtis Dennis drained one of his two threes on the way to a game-high 12 points. Later in the half Detroit got a pair of free throws to cut the lead back to 24-21, but UNM finished on a solid 8-0 run to close out the opening stanza.

Read: Replacing Brandon Prust
In a meeting with the media recently, John Tortorella was asked about how the Rangers plan to replace Brandon Prust's presence in the lineup.
Tortorella said that there isn't one player who can do all the things that Prust did, "I think it's going to be a group. Pruster played a very important role for our team, killing penalties, bouncing around on different lines. Not one guy is going to fill that. I like what I see of the new guys coming in here. We have to find a way to fill those needs."
In the NY Post, Brian Boyle told Larry Brooks that the Rangers may have been a bit spoiled having a guy like Prust.
Mike Rupp told Brooks that while he isn't going to go out every night trying to replicate what Prust did, he expects to be part of the group that replaces him, "I expect to be part of the group that picks up for his loss and contributes that way, a lot of that is my game, too, but I'm not going to go into games consciously trying to replicate what he did."
Brian Boyle said that as a group the Rangers need to step up to replace Prust because the Rangers identity isn't changing, "It's who we are, no matter who has left."
Last night in Montreal, Brandon Prust played over 10 minutes, had a fight, three hits, one blocked shots and won three of four faceoffs.
Mike Rupp played 4:38 and had a fight. Taylor Pyatt played 12:36, was a minus two, and had four hits.
Brndon Segal played 5:21 and took a penalty. Heff Halpern played 9:30 and was 2 for 10 on faceoffs.

The story of a five-year-old cancer survivor who wanted to spend the day as a super hero went viral in November.
The world heard the San Francisco boy's story and thousands came out to cheer him on.
Recent studies have shown positive news spreads fast online-- even faster than bad news.
In time for Thanksgiving, Local 6 tested that theory asking viewers to share their 'most thankful moments.'
We expected the dozens of likes, were pleased to see some shares, but oh the stories you shared.
"I am thankful to be here today," said Maria Greenfield of Longwood who has been battling stage four breast cancer for 18 months.
She's thankful because she's now winning that battle.
"On Halloween day I had a PET scan which showed 9 of my 12 tumors have actually shrunk some of them almost half the size," said Greenfield.
Her message to viewers, "No matter what anyone tells you it's all in here it's all inside you."
Nadia Lambert of Orlando posted, "I'm thankful for my mom for opening her heart."
"If it wasn't for her I would be homeless on the street," said Lambert, "since losing my job two years ago, it's been very hard, no transportation, finding a job has been very difficult, but I can tell you the blessing of family is they come through amazingly."
And then there are the precious photos shared by viewers.
Like Crystal Boutwell's most thankful moment: the day her husband came home from deployment and got to meet their daughter for the very first time.
Or the baby photo Jesse Hinsch posted of her son James.
Born with a rare heart defect in May of 2006, James had surgery, and spent 23 days in ICU at Shands, but today he is all smiles and growing up strong.
"She's my first granddaughter she's been my guardian angel," says Yvonne Overway of Orlando who beams when she talks about her granddaughter, 10-month-old Rose Marie, who Overway feared would never hear her grandmother's voice.
"I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer," she explained.
But after two surgeries this year she's now cancer free
Her first words to her new grand baby, "Hi, It's grandma. I love you."
"She brightens my day every day," said Overway.
14-year-old Joshua brightens the lives of Tameasa Provencher and her husband Dave.
That's why Provencher says this is her most thankful moment-- the day Joshua was born.
"I was so worried we would suffer a miscarriage again with him," she said.
Provencher was always told diabetes would make it impossible to have a baby but her 'baby' is now 14.
"He's amazing. He makes our life amazing. We love being together as a family," said Provencher.
She says people need to take chances.
"If I had not taken the chance, I would not have Joshua and I'm so thankful for him. Never give up. Never," she said.

The major themes for the upcoming years are eliminating the achievement gap and achieving equity between groups of students identified in the No Child Left Behind Act, infusing 21st Century Skills into the standards-based curriculum, and joining the national emphasis on encouraging student interest in STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) programs leading to future careers. The administrators in the Department of Instruction have been selected for their leadership skills and their knowledge of research-based, best practices in their areas of responsibility. The department staff engages in ongoing assessment of their effectiveness through review of student achievement data and surveys of "customers" (administrators and teachers) in the local schools.
The challenges for the Department of Instruction include maintaining the quality of our current instructional programs in the face of reduced funding. Creativity and innovative thinking have enabled staff to re-deploy staff and resources in order to continue to offer LCPS students a high-quality educational experience in grades pre-kindergarten through grade 12.
More detailed descriptions of each division and office in the Department of Instruction are contained within this web site.

Resident mascot, Sugar Bear and long-time ski patroller Fay Binning visited the Valle Crucis Elementary School with the mission to teach the third and fifth graders the seven points of skier safety.
A week later the children spent a day on the slopes. Following their theoretical teaching and on-snow experience the children participated in the National Ski Areas Association's (NSAA) Kid's National Safety Poster Contest. The students created a poster based on one or more of the seven elements of the "Your Responsibility Code" or one of the three elements of the "Smart Style" Freestyle Terrain Safety Program.
Three winners from each of two third and fifth grade classes were identified and awarded prizes donated by Alpine Ski Center, Ski Country Sports and Sugar Mountain Ski Resort. Top three posters from Mrs. Wilcox's third grade class include Ella Nelson, Andrew Smith and Aubrey Flowers. Top three posters from Mrs. Holste's third grade class include Julia Handley, Kate Ambler and Abigail Camp. Top three posters from Mrs. Hagaman's fifth grade class include Olivia Jochl, Luke Drummonds and Liliya Moon Bauer and top three posters from Mr. King's fifth grade class include Noah Pearson, Benjamin Stewart and Lillian Kamp respectively. A 2012-13 Sugar Mountain Ski Resort season pass was awarded to Kate Ambler, who was randomly chosen from the top twenty of the fifty-five submitted posters. Third grader Chase Miller had this to say about the poster contest, "We need safety rules on the slopes, so that kids can have a safe and enjoyable time while skiing."
"The contest not only promotes slope safety but also teaches the positive values of outdoor winter recreation. It serves as one of the many tools which strengthens our bond with the community," said Sugar Mountain Resort President, Gunther Jochl.
The kids can't wait for their posters to compete in the national competition in Lakewood, Colorado and are hoping for a first time-ever national winner from the state of North Carolina. Local winning posters are currently on display in Sugar Mountain Resort's base lodge, online at www.skisugar.com/safety and in the Valle Crucis Elementary School.
The poster contest was developed by the National Ski Areas Association as part of its Heads-Up Campaign; an ongoing safety awareness program. Its mission is to promote skiing safety awareness and education to elementary school children, to support classroom curriculum related to sports, health, and safety, and to give kids a chance to have fun and be creative while learning about slope safety.

Video: Family of Four Escapes Buffalo Fire
Video: Mom Jumps From Burning Home
BUFFALO, N.Y. - A four apartment building in South Buffalo is a total loss. Buffalo firefighters say those living inside managed to escape from the building.
Fire officials confirm to 2-On-Your-Side that a fire started on the first floor of a building on Selkirk Street around 3 a.m.
Firefighters say a woman jumped out the window of the second story apartment and suffered non-life threatening injuries. Officials say a man then threw a 3-month old baby out a window into the arms of another man. Two other children were carried out from the upstairs apartment.
We're told two firefighters also suffered injuries and are expected to be OK.
There's no word yet on a damage total or what may have started the fire. The Red Cross is assisting those who have been displaced by the fire.

"Liberty Scale" greeting card by Andrew Paranavitana. Ships within 2 - 3 business days and includes a plain white envelop for mailing and/or gift giving. Available in vertical and horizontal orientations.
My work often takes two avenues of theme: a darker, sometimes scary world of unseen nightmares, and a nostalgic playground of warm memories, much safer and happier than the former. I have always looked further than traditional methods of photography. Digital manipulation has allowed me to communicate and share my view of the world. I have a need to lace my work with elements of obscure visions and deliver a piece the viewer can connect with on multiple levels. Andrew Paranavitana is an independent photographic artist. His driving passion for photography began in 1994. Since then, Andrew has exhibited works both internationally and within Australia and in 2014, completed a Diploma of Photo Imaging at RMIT in Melbourne. Andrew�s...
