When talking about Fender guitars we are really discussing the vision of one man; Mr. Leo Fender. Leo is today considered to be one of the finest industrial designers of the 20th century and the guitars that his company created and the methods of instrument manufacturing forever changed the landscape of popular music. Probably the most famous and widely copied of Fender's designs is the Fender Stratocaster. These days we take the look and sound of the "Strat" for granted, but when it was introduced in 1954; its contoured body, 3 pickup design and tremolo were considered wildly futuristic.
The Stratocaster was not Fender's first successful guitar design. That accolade goes to the Fender Telecaster. Initially named the "Broadcaster" the Telecaster's design was deceptively simple; two single-coil pickups on a single contoured body, a detachable neck and an innovative headstock. The guitar's minimalist looks are deceiving however, as a wide variety of tones can be produced using the guitar's volume, tone and pickup controls.
Later additions to the Fender guitar family include the Jazzmaster, which was first introduced in 1958 and the Jaguar, which was launched in 1962. Fender also introduced a hollowbody design called the Coronado. These models provided great sounding and playable alternatives to the classic Strat and Tele and it's a worthy testament to the design skills of fender that all of these models are still in production today. In addition to electric guitars, the Fender Company has produced an enormously popular series of acoustic and electric acoustic models, such as the Kingman and Newporter models.
The selection of Fender Guitars now offered is huge, ranging from period specific reissues of classic Stratocasters and Telecasters, to modern variants with humbucker pickups, exotic woods, and models based on the instruments modified by such guitarists as Johnny Marr and Jeff Beck.

On the surface, bullying and youth substance use may seem like separate problems. However, from research, we know that kids who use drugs or alcohol are at risk for other problem behaviors during their teen years. Recent findings confirm previous studies that found links between bullying and substance use. In a recent article, researchers found that middle and high school students who bully their peers or are bully-victims (bully others and are also bullied) are more likely than students who aren't involved in bullying to use alcohol, cigarettes, and marijuana.Continue ReadingPosted in Risk Factors

Late one Tuesday night, I received a text from the mother of my son's friend. She told me that we needed to talk NOW; would I call her? Two weeks earlier, my 15-year-old son had broken down in tears over the harassment he was receiving at school. What I did not know, but learned from the mother who contacted me, was that my son had come very close to attempting suicide the night before. The actions of friends may indeed have saved my son's life. My husband and I knew "Jake" was hurting inside.Continue ReadingPosted in Warning Signs

January is National Mentoring Month. Research has shown that mentoring programs can be an effective tool for enhancing the positive development of youth in the foster care system.
Over the past three decades, the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) has supported a variety of mentoring programs to meet the needs of at-risk and troubled youth. The office works on traditional one-on-one relationships, group mentoring, e-mentoring and other innovative approaches to reach teens.Continue ReadingPosted in Federal Partners in Bullying Prevention

Bullying among young children is not uncommon. When young children–who often differ in physical size, skill level, and family experience–get together, patterns of hurtful behavior often emerge.
Children may be mean to each other by making mean faces, saying threatening things, grabbing objects, pushing others aside, or refusing to play with others. Some young children may engage in actual bullying behaviors by deliberately and repeatedly dominating a vulnerable child by name-calling, physical attacks, and excluding others from playing with them.Continue ReadingPosted in Prevention

Fly fishing clinics for women
Carbon County women can learn how to fly fish at clinics offered in Midway in May and June.
The basics of flyfishing, including knot-tying, choosing flies, casting, equipment, river dynamics and how to land fish, will be taught.
The clinics will take place on June 12 and June 27, both Saturdays.
Each clinic runs from 8:45 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Johnson Mill Bed & Breakfast in Midway.
"Spots are filling fast, and women who want to participate are encouraged to register as soon as possible," said Nancy Hoff, BOW coordinator for the Division of Wildlife Resources.
Participants must pay applicable fees and also purchase a 2004 Utah fishing license.
"Class size is limited to only 10 participants per clinic, so each participant will receive a lot of individual attention and plenty of hands-on learning," Hoff commented. "Women will learn how to fish and will then have a chance to try out their new skills on the Provo River."
For more information, contact Hoff at 801-560-9605.
American Legion baseball to begin, open tryouts at Gardner field
The 2004 American Legion baseball season is fast approaching.
In total, 31 teams will participate in the state's American Legion program this year, including 10 teams from the north league and five teams from the south league.
Helper will be part of the Salt Lake Valley league this season, which is comprised of 16 teams.
According to coach Jeff Cisneros, Helper is one of the favorites to win the state title.
"In the last four years, we have finished no worse than fourth in the state," he noted.
League nights will be Monday, Wednesday and Friday, with half played at home and half away.
The first game will be played June 8 to be followed by the Helper tournament beginning June 10-13.
The eight-team tournament will include Cyprus, Kearns, St. George, Taylorsville, Belgrade, Mont., Upper Valley, Idaho, Minico, Idaho and Helper.
Cisneros projects approximately 40 games will be played this season.
The state tournament will begin July 31 at Oquirrh Park in Kearns.
Tryouts will begin Monday, May 24 at 6 p.m. on the Helper Legion field.
Anyone born in the year 1985 or after is eligible for legion ball and about 20 players will make the team.
Last year, the team included players from Altamont, Green River, East Carbon, Carbon and Emery. All are welcome to try out.
"I would like to invite everyone to at least stop at the ballpark, if not to see a game, to at least see the improvements that have been made over the last couple of years," Cisneros commented. "This has become one of the nicest parks in the state."
For more information or to help sponsor the team, contact Cisneros at 637-3549.

Alumni Have New Source of Information and News
January 22, 2010
By Teresa Ruiz
CSU alumni across the system have a brand new source of information thanks to the recent launch of the redesigned CSU Alumni site . Links to alumni news, feature stories and photo galleries, as well as a link to the Proud Alums of the CSU Facebook group are all available on the site. In addition, interesting facts about CSU's more than 2 million grads, a "Who's Who among Alumni", and ways to get involved are available in one convenient location.
Information about CSU's Alumni Council is also featured on the site. The council serves as the voice for CSU alumni in representation to the CSU Board of Trustees, the Systemwide Budget Advisory Committee, the California Faculty Association and the CSU Sytemwide Academic Senate.
"I am a proud alum of the California State University. I want others to share that pride," writes Alumni Trustee Bob Linscheid in a message to alumni. "The California State University is a remarkable university, providing the outstanding teaching, research and hands-on learning that graduates need to succeed in the workforce. With over 450,000 students on 23 campuses, the CSU is developing the future engineers, artists, nurses and scientists who will lead California into the future."
Linscheid's complete message to alumni, along with a message from the council's president Ken Stone, can be viewed on the site's Alumni Council page. The council also has a Facebook page for alum to join to keep abreast of the council's efforts.

For the past two weeks a lot has been said about the battle between the Borger Bulldogs and Canyon Eagles for the fourth and final playoff spot from District 5-4A.
However over the past week, the Dumas Demons have decided to make the race a three team battle, thanks to defeating Canyon on Saturday, leading to a three-way tie for the fourth spot with each team currently holding 3.5 points in the district standings.
Thanks to Canyon's 1-0 loss to Amarillo Palo Duro last night, the Bulldogs can control their own destiny by getting a win or tie tonight against the Canyon Randall Raiders tonight at 7:00 p.m. in Kimbrough Stadium in Canyon.
After tonight's contest, the Bulldogs will wrap up the regular season on Friday in a key battle with the Demons in Dumas at 8 p.m.
For nearly two weeks, the Borger Lady Bulldogs have known they will continue play beyond the regular season, yet the team has continued to play well over the past two games.
Tonight the Lady Bulldogs will be able to get some fine tuning in as they take on the district champion Randall Lady Raiders in Canyon starting at 5:00 p.m.
Details for the Lady Bulldogs first round playoff game are still to be determined

Following a Feb. 14 memo from the state Commission of Corrections chairman, the Jefferson County Probation Department has suspended a program that gave at-risk youth a taste of jail in an effort to scare them away from a life of crime.
Its unfortunate, said Probation Director Edward E. Brown. It did seem to be a fairly good program.
The program, Wake Up, has been around for almost 18 years, according to the probation officer who helped create it, Steven J. Anderson.
The memo specifies Scared Straight programs such as Wake Up are a violation of one of the core provisions of the 1974 Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act.
According to the act, juveniles and adult inmates are required to be housed separately. The Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention has determined the separation requirement also applies to programs such as Wake Up.
The Probation Department immediately stopped the program after receiving the memo. Failure to do so could have resulted in a significant reduction in federal grant money for corrections facilities in the county.
Television shows such as A&Es Beyond Scared Straight and even Saturday Night Live sketches have given Scared Straight programs a high degree of exposure in popular culture, though some experts have raised serious concerns about their efficacy.
In January 2011, the Baltimore Sun published an opinion piece written by two Justice Department officials critical of the programs.
The article read, in part, scared straight is not only ineffective but is potentially harmful.
The authors pointed to a 2002 study of nine Scared Straight-type programs by the Campbell Collaboration that found at-risk teenagers who participated in a shock incarceration program were up to 28 percent more likely to offend than at-risk teenagers who did not participate.
Despite that, probation officials said the program, which involved about 160 participants annually, served an important purpose in Jefferson County.
Here, juvenile delinquents are generally sentenced to terms of probation ranging from four months to a year. While they were on probation, the department would track Wake Up program participants.
A lot of people say the program doesnt work, but it worked for us, Mr. Anderson said. For that year that we dealt with the kid, things pretty much settled down.
Through the program, individuals ranging in age from 10 to 21 who had been involved in the county justice system or had been referred to the program by the Department of Social Services, law enforcement officials or the Childrens Home Preventive Program, among others, were afforded a brief experience of what life is like in the county jail at the Metro-Jefferson Public Safety Building.
While parents or guardians sat in the buildings lobby, participants in the program would go through intake and booking and be placed in a holding cell before having their fingerprints and photographs taken and being moved to one of the jails pods. The whole process took about an hour, Mr. Anderson said. No doors were ever locked and a corrections officer provided close supervision.
As opposed to some other programs, which tour corrections facilities in groups, each participant went through the process alone. That enhanced the programs effect, according to Mr. Anderson.
At the end of it, tears would be flowing ... they were glad to see their parents, he said.
Participants sometimes interacted with inmates.
According to Mr. Anderson, inmates often said, I wish I had this kind of program when I was growing up. Maybe I wouldnt be here.
After completing the program, each participant would have to write a one-page essay about the experience at the jail.
We seemed to get a pretty good response from the kids, Mr. Brown said. I dont know if it had a lasting effect, but it had an immediate effect.
Mr. Brown and Mr. Anderson expressed concern about losing the program.
I understand the reasoning behind it. Its just too bad we couldnt find an alternative to it that was similar. Maybe in the future something will come up, Mr. Brown said. If we reach one kid, then weve accomplished our goal.

BUFFALO - Gabe Guevera wants to either make video games or become a priest.
He can choose whichever career path he wants, no matter how different they may be. After all, as of Thursday, he holds a diploma from South Park High School.
"I just want to help people. I know some people you can't help, but that's what I've always wanted to do," Guevera said.
So he'll do that by either creating people's video games or becoming their preist. Or maybe he'll do something else. Point is, Guevera can do it, because he's one of the ones who made it. No matter what the statistics say -- and they say that the majority of students in the Buffalo Public Schools don't graduate and fewer than 10 percent are "college-ready" -- Guevera is a success story.
These are the children you're not hearing about.
"You can get consumed by the numbers," said Theresa Schuta, the principal at South Park High School. "But as I see these kids walk across the stage, I remember when their mom walked them into Kindergarten. So I know that we've made a difference. And that's what it's all about."
Moments before walking into the auditorium, David Rivera and Damaris Gonzalez gathered with their families for one last photo opportunity. Rivera is joining the Navy. Gonzalez is going to college to pursue a criminal justice degree. They're here for a reason-- because of family support, and, as Gonzalez puts it, because of "faith and love."
As for the ones who didn't walk across the stage?
"They didn't have the drive," Rivera said, "or the motivation to move forward."
These are the problems educators will tackle over the next several months, years and decades. They will be forced to confront alarming dropout rates. They will be forced to find solutions to revitalize a struggling school system.
But the kids in that auditorium on Thursday aren't the problem.
They're the ones graduating.
"It's a great day," Schuta said. "Better than Christmas."

During the early part of the 2005 legislative session, Utah lawmakers considered a proposal to eliminate the personal property tax on businesses.
Although the bill failed, the Utah Foundation indicates that proposal has initiated dialogue on the efficacy and efficiency of the personal property tax on business equipment.
According to the independent public policy organization's researchers, the personal property tax is a component of the overall property tax structure in Utah.
Personal property may generally be defined as any tangible property that is temporary or movable.
Locally assessed personal property is specific to business furniture and fixtures, business equipment, construction equipment and manufactured homes.
Personal property like vehicles, boats and trailers were not considered in the analysis.
In contrast, real property is defined as permanently fixed assets like land and buildings.
Real property taxes contribute 73.9 percent of the state's total property tax revenues.
The bulk of the Utah business property tax falls on machinery and equipment, explained the foundation's latest news brief.
However, there is an exemption for farming equipment.
The administration and compliance of business personal property taxes can be intensive, noted the independent researchers.
The companies are required to inform county assessors that the firms have started conducting business or have relocated to the local areas.
The businesses must fill out forms detailing all personal property, including information on the year of acquisition and cost of the equipment or machinery.
The county assessors calculate assessments based on valuation schedules developed by the Utah Tax Commission.
In subsequent years, businesses need to report newly acquired equipment and sales of previously assessed property.
Businesses have 30 days from the date personal property tax notices are mailed to appeal assessments to the county.
Since the mid-1950s, data show that the percentage of the total tax assessed value coming from personal property has declined in all states.
In Utah, the assessed value as a percentage of all property fell 2.2 percent from 1956 to 1991
Utah Foundation researchers determined that the decline continues in more significant fashion for business property tax values.
From 1992 to 2003, the assessed business personal property value fell from 7.7 percent to 6.2 percent.
From 1992 to 2003 real property values grew 213 percent, while personal property values have only grown 53 percentt.
One explanation for declining personal property values is the tax base may be narrowing. But from 1992 to 2003, Utah had no legislation to narrow the personal property tax base.
Also a comparison of personal property value growth with personal income growth - an indicator for economic expansion - does not provide conclusive evidence that the tax base is eroding.
Another concern that business personal property taxes raises is that of horizontal equity. Businesses with similar income levels may be paying significantly different amounts of personal property tax. If the assumption that manufacturing businesses utilize more personal property than service businesses, then a manufacturing business will end up paying more taxes than a service business that makes a similar profit. However, property taxes, in principle, are supposed to be a tax on wealth, and businesses that hold more assets may have more value than businesses with fewer assets, even if their profits are similar.
Currently, 39 states and the District of Columbia continue to tax personal property. As of 1992, according to John Mikesell, 16 states continue to tax business inventory and eight continue to tax intangible personal property. Utah taxes neither business inventory nor intangible property. Intangible personal property includes stocks, bonds, and franchises. Most states have eliminated taxes on intangible personal property because the tax is very difficult to administer. According to Cornia and Wheeler, most states have eliminated inventory taxes because they can cause competitive disadvantages for businesses that often ship goods to other states.
While the personal property tax on businesses only constitutes 6.3% of total property tax revenues, eliminating the tax would mean a loss of over $100 million in revenue for local governments and schools in Utah. However, if the personal property tax base continues to erode and real property values continue to rise, the personal property tax will play a smaller and smaller role in financing government and schools. The factors along with questions of administration, compliance and equity must be considered when discussing the business personal property tax in Utah, concluded the foundation researchers.

Bitten by Magic, the second book in Kelly M. Ashleys Sisters of Fate series, is out today.
A follow up to her fantasy romance novel, The Fur Flies, which was released in May, Mrs. Ashleys new book centers on the passion of Alexa, a witch, and Wilhelm, a vampire.
In Bitten by Magic Alexa is required to marry Wilhelm in order to settle a dispute.
Its a paranormal romance, Mrs. Ashley, who writes under the pen name Kelliea Ashley, said. If anybody likes the witches and the vampires and the werewolves thats what it is.
But Mrs. Ashley cautioned, Its not Twilight, referring to the popular book and movie series. My vampires dont sparkle.
Born in Gouverneur, Mrs. Ashley currently lives in Ogdensburg and said she draws inspiration from the north country as settings for her novels.
All of my books have a north country feel, she said. Even with the vampires and werewolves.
Mrs. Ashley said she originally intended to write the Sisters of Fate series as a trilogy, but was pushed by her editor at Breathless Press to explore the characters further and extend it.
Its open ended, she said, so readers can expect more tales of forbidden love between witches, vampires and werewolves.
Mrs. Ashley said she has been writing since she was 13 but it was her husband, Joshua, who finally convinced her to find a publisher for her novels in 2012.
Her latest book is available as an e-book at breathlesspress.com, amazon.com, allromanceebooks.com, Apple I-Books and bookstrand.com.
As long as [people] read them and get away from their everyday life, thats what Im shooting, Mrs. Ashley said. Im not looking to get rich; Im just looking to put my work out there.

Justin C. Sullivan, 28, of 508 New York Ave., was arrested Sunday night by city police after he allegedly threw his girlfriend to the floor in their home.
He was detained for City Court arraignment on charges of felony criminal contempt and harassment. Police said he violated refrain from specifications in a City Court order of protection issued to the woman, Tonya L. Gifford, following another arrest early in December. On that occasion, he was charged with felony criminal mischief, criminal obstruction of breathing and blood circulation and third-degree assault.

Are you on a daily regimen of D3? I take 30,000 units per day, and I give my wife 20,000 units because she weighs about 100 pounds less than I do.
Vitamin D is a key player in having and maintaining total health. Its benefits are unbelievable!
Vitamin D is a potent neuroregulatory steroidal hormone that influences nearly 3,000 of our 25,000 genes! That's big, and big important!
Vitamin D influences dozens of conditions, with emphasis on those related to heart disease, yet there is a broad epidemic of vitamin D deficiency in America. Some dependable writers say that up to 85 percent of Americans have insufficient vitamin D levels.
Please, please pay no attention to the so-called recommended daily allowance (RDA). If you do, you will pay a very high price.
Vitamin D influences dozens of conditions. Here are a few: cancer, heart disease, hypertension, obesity, diabetes types I and II, cold and flu, aging signs, osteoporosis, seizures, Alzheimer's disease, dementia, schizophrenia, inflammation, inflammatory bowel disease, multiple sclerosis, infertility, depression, asthma and many more! What would it take to get people on a very low-cost vitamin D supplement?
Also, I recommend taking high dosages of vitamin D3 (50,000 IUs) before surgery for a far greater chance of quick recovery and survival.

Step into My Vortex
One night, we were reading a section in The Restaurant at the End of the Universe and it described one of the most terrible possible tortures in the galaxy, the "Total Perspective Vortex." This torture involves showing someone, "The Universe... the whole infinite Universe. The infinite suns, the infinite distances betweeen them and yourself an invisible dot on an invisible dot, infinitely small." The shock of seeing this has the affect of annihiliating the viewer's brain, because "if life is going to exist in a Universe of this size, then the one thing it cannot afford to have is a sense of proportion." Knowing one's true place in the Universe causes the brain to explode.
Size is always relative, so there needs to be a starting point, some point of reference. Let's start with you as our reference. There are just less than six billion people on this planet. Now, we use numbers like billions and trillions a lot (especially with a Republican president who doesn't mind debt). That overuse can warp our perspective on numbers. Maybe an illustration would help. If you were to spend sixteen hours per day (so you could still get eight hours of sleep) counting one number per second, it would take you approximately three hundred years to count to six billion. Relative to the rest of humanity, you are small and insignificant.
Now, our Earth holds all six billion of these people. So that's pretty big, huh? No. Relative to the other bodies in our solar system, the Earth is tiny.
Relative Size
Look at the size of Earth relative to Jupiter. I don't remember how many Earths will fit into the tornado (eye) on Jupiter, but I remember it being more than one. Now look at the Earth relative to the Sun. And that is only a piece of the sun.
Well, at least, the Sun is relatively large, right? Not really. Our Sun is on the medium-small side. Our sun resides in a galaxy called the Milky Way. The Milky way is a whirling collection of over a hundred thousand million stars around the same size as our sun (it would take you over 3500 years to count that high at the same rate mentioned above).
Milky Way
Notice the insignificant location of our sun. It is in an insignificant point on an insignificant spoke of a spinning wheel.
Well, then, maybe our galaxy is significant? Not really. Estimates from the Hubble teliscope suggest there might be one-hundred, twenty-five billion galaxies (it would take you about 6000 years to count that). Each of those galaxies contain billions of stars. This is just a snapshot from Hubble.
Hubble Snapshot
Those galaxies pictured are huge and are speeding away from us at tremendous velocity (isolating us even more).
Now, go back and rewind this tape. Start with a picture of all the galaxies in the universe. After a long period of time, find our insignificant galaxy among the billions of others. Look toward that insignificant spoke and continue to zoom in until you find the insignificant star (i.e. the Sun) in the midst of the billions of others. Go past the larger planets until you find the tiny blue and green one. Start zooming in on the continent you live in. See all of the huge structures of the surrounding cities. Catch a glimpse of the hundreds of thousands of small human creatures walking around. Keep going until you see one of them sitting in front of your computer reading a stupid blog.
Breathe in, breathe out and quickly try to forget it all. Pretend that you matter. Pretend that anything that happens here matters in the scope of the universe.
Or, if you are brave enough, read The Myth of Sisyphus and find a "more excellent way" to deal with your smallness.

NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — Tickets for the 2013 Solid Sound Festival went on sale Friday with an "early worm special."
Tickets for the three-day festival organized by Wilco are $99 in limited quantity now and when they sell out, another batch of limit quantity tickets will be $124 and eventually $149. They are available here.
The festival featuring musicians, artists and comedians begins on Friday, June 21, and will conclude on Sunday, June 23, at Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art.
A full lineup has not yet been announced. Campsites at Noel Field, dubbed "Solid Ground," will also return with sites for $90 per tent — with a maximum of four people per tent — and $120 for an RV.
The band canceled last year's festival which draws thousands to the downtown in favor of touring to promote their new album. However, they did return to MoCA for a benefit concert.
Check out some of our photos from the 2011 event here.
Solid Sound and Wilco return to Mass MoCA on the weekend of June 24. According to the festival's website, all the early bird and return tickets have been sold out. All that's remaining is the $124.50 three-day pass.
The event is expected to bring upwards of 5,000 concertgoers to the city and surrounding area. We'll try to update with tidbits and whatnot that we come across as the date approaches.
That includes news that Wilco will release a single — on vinyl — at the festival.
Jambands reports the self-released 7-inch will have the new "I Might" on the A side and a cover of Nick Lowe's "I Love My Label" on the B side. The record premieres at Mass MoCA before it's released to the world.
Along with the musicians and comedians will be a micropower radio station, WTNG. A post on Radio Survivor describes the station as "a laptop and microphone driving a mixer, PA and small transmitter." The microstation was part of a pop-up record store in Chicago's Wicker Park. The man who set up the station, Michael, told Radio Survivor he was planning to join the festival in June.

CANTON - With their friends lifeless body draped across the hood of a pick-up truck, students at Canton Central School experienced a grim reminder of the dangers of drinking and driving.
Add in texting or talking on a cell phone and the risk of an accident is even greater, they learned during a mock DWI crash staged in front of Hugh C. Williams High School.
Students in grades 7 to 12 gathered on the sidelines to watched Canton rescue workers deal with the aftermath of the pretend two-vehicle collision that left two people dead and three injured.
Police officers, a local judge and a driver from OLeary Funeral Services participated in the 30-minute performance. Adding to the effect were empty beer cans strewn on the driveway and pools of fake blood.
Makenzie L. Knowlden, 15, said showing students what can happen is more powerful than just telling them.
Its a lot more graphic than people just talking to us, the sophomore said. I think a lot of students are drinking, but not a lot are putting themselves in the position where theyre driving.
With high school proms, graduation celebrations and other events on the horizon, St. Lawrence County Traffic Safety Coordinator Michele J. James is making the rounds to deliver a message that could save lives.
She urged students to avoid getting behind the wheel with a drunk or drugged-up driver.
Dont ever assume your driver is sober. We want to make sure you are safe. Please make sure your driver is sober at all times, Ms. James said.
Jack G. Townsend, a Canton crossing guard who works in front of the school, circulated through the crowd of students. He reminded them not to use their cell phones while driving. Its a problem he sees too often.
About every third car, I see a high school student texting or talking on their cell phone, Mr. Townsend said.
He warned students, If you veer off, someone may have to go to your parents and say youre not coming home. Its up to you, but thats what can happen.
Chantel H. Rose, a junior who played the role of the drunk driver who was using her cell phone, was arraigned in front of Pierrepont Justice Robert G. Camp.
The 16 year old was charged with two counts of felony manslaughter, driving while intoxicated, driving under the influence with passengers aged 15 or younger, using a cell phone and other offenses. Justice Camp ordered Ms. Rose to jail and set bail at $50,000 cash or $100,000 bond.
Watching in the crowd, her father, Calvin H. Rose, said hes tried to impress on his four children the importance of driving responsibly.
Its that time of year when these things can happen, he said.

Land of the Free-Thinkers
In case you didn't know, I live in China. I am not Chinese, although my wife is and our two kids are half Chinese. You may have heard of The Great Firewall of China, which is a playful name given to the Chinese government's ability to block and allow websites of their choosing at any given moment. We get no warning, but one day a website is just gone, blocked. Time Magazine and the BBC were blocked for years and then one day, 'bingo', I was able to read them. Wikipedia has always been blocked. Go figure.
Blogspot is blocked at the moment. Someone somewhere posted something that got some government official's undies in a knot and so all the Blogger pages are gone. That means I cannot read posts or comments on any Google-based blogs including this one of course. Ironically, the block has not effected my ability to post, perhaps because the two functions are on different servers? Whatever the reason, I can speak to the world but I cannot hear from the world...at least not via Google blogs.
This got me thinking about my fellow non-believers in the USA. I know that often you guys feel somewhat troubled by the lack of non-belief in your country, and fair enough too. After all, you have a born again President (Jeez, that must be hard to take), a Faith Based Initiatives Office in his White House, more Christian cable channels and televangelists than one country could ever need, a plethora of extreme Christian groups and individuals, and who could ignore the aggressive Intelligent Design activists pushing to have archaic beliefs taught in your high school science classrooms. Frak, it must be hard to be an American at times.
And yet, the Internet is brimming over with Atheist and Agnostic websites, podcasts, online books and even video podcasts. Blogs and discussion forums like these are easily accessed and are regularly updated with new posts. Dan Barker's FFRF is having its cases heard before the U.S. Supreme Court, nationally broadcast news programmes and magazines are running stories on Atheist activists and their agendas, and Sam Harris, Bart Ehrman and Richard Dawkins have all had their books make national best-seller lists.
Relative to what's going on in some parts of the world, you guys in the U.S. have got it really good. You discussions are not censored, your websites and blogs are not blocked and John Loftus can publish and sell his book. ;P For all its faults, the U.S. is still a place where ideas can be debated and discussed in the public arena, even if most of its citizens subscribe to one religion or another. Please stop and remember, it isn't necessarily like that in places like China. I would hate to see you guys fall into the all-too-common persecution complex held by our old friends in Evangelical circles. They have deluded themselves to the point where they really do think they are persecuted and that there is a Secular Humanist conspiracy (headed by Satan of course) mounting against them, and all the while their human rights are largely protected by your (secular) Constitution. I doubt unbelievers in America would ever really go so far as to develop a persecution complex, but hey, it's nice to be on guard anyway.
So see the half-full glass guys. Atheism is alive and well in the free world. You're free to have your say...even to the point of debunking your President's religion. You certainly couldn't do that in China.
Zai jian! (See you later!)

Submission Big Space: There are at least 100 billion planets in our galaxy alone->
coondoggie writes: "Astronomers have, since they could see stars a night, tried to figure out how many planets were in the sky — and the latest count from scientists is massive — 100 billion just in our own Milky Way galaxy. A new study by astronomers at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) made their estimate while analyzing five planets orbiting a star spotted by NASA's Kepler space telescope."

I am really glad to see Don put this up as I think many folks who follow the O's fail to realize how important this message is.
1. Acquire as much talent as possible - Recently said to a fellow O's fan that I would let anyone who we would be compensated with a pick for that we would not even being discussing signing them in the off season. The O's need to focus on stockpiling as many additional picks as possible (if any). Stop spending money on the bullpen while letting potential relievers (Beato) go for nothing. Use that money to sign talented picks and international players. This was a great leadoff point.
2. Better training and diet - I read an article published in the Boston Globe recently that talked about the challenges of eating healthy in the minors. Even for someone who spends a lot of time around the minors, it was eye opening.
3. Conditioning for pitchers - I know nothing about this, but have seen Don write about it enough that I believe it must be true.
4. Conditioning for position players - It seems to me that O's minor league strength and conditioning coaches often win the award as the best in their respective minor leagues. I've never understood how when we always seem to have more injuries than other teams.
5. Increase the number of instructors - Not sure if this is the answer or if we only need to improve the current quality. I don't attend enough games outside of Delmarva to speak to, but here, it is clear that their is a lack of quality leadership.
I've said before that I clearly assign blame for some of the injuries to pitchers the last couple seasons on the leadership. They simply do not understand how to manage a pitching staff. I think this fits several of the factors listed above add up to these injuries (diet, conditioning, instruction). But in the end to me it all boils down to leadership.
Great article Don. Enjoy reading a guy who knows his stuff.

I was saddened to read the recent letter entitled, "Females Turn to be in Charge?"(Sun Advocate, July 20). In this world where we have to look so little to find so much tragedy, I'm wondering why we can't all find a bit more compassion. Regardless if you're a man or a woman, at the end of the day does it really make any of us feel good to have had all the control? Maybe superficially it does feel good, but the feeling is short-lived and typically undeserved.
Like the author of the letter, I have a big problem with men who treat women badly or inferiorly. However, that is where our similarities end. Using sarcasm to put down the opposite sex does nothing to solve equality issues. Would treating someone in a submissive manner, just because you could, (females in charge) make you a better person? No, of course it wouldn't. But in this world that has become so "me" centered we are losing all perspective about the right thing to do and instead just doing what makes "me" happy and satisfied.
Everyday we are given choices to make. Some make us happy. Some don't. Some are trivial. Some are life altering. I suppose that's why I find it so difficult to understand why the author states in one paragraph that children are a privilege and in another says that it's a woman's choice to terminate them through abortion.
Perhaps it's because we're, one again, making choices for "number one". It's not about how much responsibility a guy can ditch if he chooses to leave a pregnant woman. It's about a child's life.
Why doesn't the child have a choice? Everyone else wants one. When did our society start making it's members believe that you can make choices and never have to suffer any consequences from those choices or feel treated unfairly if you do?
My theory, as meager as it may be, is that we live in a world filled with distraction and most of it revolves around how we can make ourselves happy. Many of us have quit trying (or maybe never started) to find a sense of compassion. Giving compassion not only fulfills our need for happiness but also creates happiness and fulfillment for those around us.
I realize that I personally need to work on this. I also know there are many people out there who would say, "Yeah, that's a nice theory, but in this dog-eat-dog world, I'll stick to fighting for me." But, if we never try to make changes we are just pacifying ourselves with excuses and fluff.

The dumpster where law enforcement searched for Andrea Parsons' body at a public ramp at Phipps Park. On July 14,convicted sex-offender Claude Davis contacted deputies saying he witnessed her abduction by four Hispanic males. That story later changed to Davis saying he dreamed he was collecting cans with Parsons and she fell and hit her head. Davis said he was scared so he put her body in a dumpster. He was charged with false imprisonment but the charges were dropped in May 1994 for lack of evidence

Comments about Allora Paris Series Professional Tenor Saxophone:
Didn`t like the sound, though I purchased it because I read reviews that said the sound is very good. I even find the sound of my cheap Mendini tenor sax is better. And transfer from A to B doesn`t go clearly, probably some valve sticks.

Comments about Allora Paris Series Professional Tenor Saxophone:
Beautiful horn with a great sound. I can flow smoothly from top to bottom...who knew how much I would use the high F# key? Lots! Feels solid and has comfortable ergonomics.
Best Uses
Comments about Allora Paris Series Professional Tenor Saxophone:
I read mixed reviews, so I was a little skeptical. Horn arrived quickly and packaged extremely well. It is stunningly beautiful, and the sound is warm and rich and it plays easily. I'm using a Yamaha 4C mouthpiece, but will experiment with others to determine the exact one I want.
The main bonus for me was the fact that I could go from the top of the register(high F#) to the bottom with ease, something I couldn't do on my vintage Keilwerth Tenor.
I'm very happy with this horn!

WASHINGTON, DC (WUSA) - A 9 Wants to Know review of food safety suspensions identified closures in Mazza Gallerie, Georgetown, and into Prince George's County ranging from a crab shack to an AMC theater to a Cosi restaurant.
See what we found in the above video Food Alert report.
Unheeded warnings to blame
Unheeded warnings to employ a food safety manager, according to health department records, were to blame for several closures.
Certified food safety managers are required to be on duty to prevent health risks and lead staff on safe food handling, storage, and preparation.
According to documents reviewed by 9 Wants to Know, restaurants that defy the order and operate without one are likely to have other violations that could make customers sick.
"I dispute it all" said Georgetown coffee shop manager
Red Toque Express's gourmet coffee bar, 1003 Wisconsin Ave NW, is an example of an establishment operating without a food safety manager where inspectors found dozens of violations.
The coffee bar is just down the street from M and Wisconsin in the heart of Georgetown.
Besides a citation for no food safety manager, inspectors reported a dirty toilet, dirty food contact points and floor, no hot water, hand washing violations and 23 other violations.
The manager said "I dispute it all" and hung up when contacted by 9 Wants to Know about the 28 total violations cited by inspectors at the Georgetown coffee shop.
Rice with mice feces cited at Chinese crab shack
Even after a closure at Cheng's Carryout on Kenilworth Avenue in Capitol Heights, customers raved about the crabs and rice, but it's the smell and mice that alarmed inspectors.
Prince Georges County Health Department records cite the restaurant with mice droppings all over the place, including in the food.
Specifically, inspectors identified mice droppings in the flour, and the carryout's rice.
Federal Center carryout cited for roaches, flies, and mice
At Federal Center near the Waterfront, regulars, carryout in hand, were shocked to learn inspectors suspended Sal's Middle Eastern, 400 C St. SW.
Inspectors cited food at unsafe temperatures, roaches, flies and mice feces.
"All the issues you are seeing here are already resolved," said owner Syed Wahid. "That's why we reopened."
Wahid said the vermin problem escalated because of a non-performing exterminator he has since replaced.
The manager invited our team inside, behind the counter, where we did not observe any violations.
North Capitol and Florida pizza shop cited for multiple violations
Inspectors shut down New York Pizza, 2 Florida Ave NE, citing no hot water for cleaning, food at unsafe temperatures, and food unprotected from contamination.
Warnings not heeded at Mazza Gallery
Prior to a closure at Mazza Gallery, reports show AMC theaters was warned just last month about the requirement to have a food safety manager on duty.
Across the street at Cosi just off Wisconsin Avenue Northwest, inspectors gave the same warning in July.
Despite previous violations and notices of pending re-inspections for compliance, last week inspectors report they closed Cosi when it continued to operate without a food safety manager.
Two months of inspections reviewed by 9 Wants to Know identified the warning and citations for cheese at unsafe temperatures, dirty food-contact points, and mice droppings.
AMC Theater warned, then suspended & inspectors find debris in popcorn drawer
Inside Mazza Gallerie inspectors suspended food services at AMC Theatres citing no food safety manager during last week's inspection there.
Health department records indicate inspectors had warned AMC twice about the violation in inspections last month where inspectors also cited mold on the ice machine and debris in the move theater's popcorn drawer.
Except for Red Toque Express in Georgetown, reports indicate the others have passed re-inspection and reopened.
Prince George's County also reports closing three illegal roadside operations.

Of all of the myriad agencies created and maintained by the Executive Branch, few have proven to be as detrimental to the United States as the Environmental Protection Agency. Since its birth under President Nixon's executive order in 1970, the mission of the EPA has been to protect human health and the environment. The mission has been mutilated since the start, as the environment (or at least what we are led to believe is the environment) has taken so much precedent that the human health aspect — whether it is the physical, mental, social or economic sort — has been deemed worthless in comparison.
More often than not, it has appeared that the power brokers in Washington use the environment (and therefore the EPA) as a tool, a compelling means by which to exert its brand of total control over economic functions it would otherwise have a difficult time with without such propaganda. Over time, the EPA has touched everything from the food we eat (from over-the-top dust regulations to clean water rules that strip property rights) to the energy we use (telling oil and gas companies where, how and when to extract much-needed resources, creating a dependency on foreign sources) to the air we breathe (instituting utterly insane emissions standards for things as simple as portable fuel tanks). All of those rules and thousands more add to the cost of doing business and therefore the cost of living. The actual negative impact on the American consumer is in the hundreds of billions per year as we end up paying for these regulations at the market, fuel pump, and department store.

Here's a photo gallery from the Inaugural Ball performance!
Nashville, TN — Bluegrass power-pickers, The Grascals are headed to NBC's Burbank Studios for their Tonight Show debut on Friday, January 25th. The band will perform "Mystery Train" from their Grammy-nominated album LIFE FINDS A WAY.
It's a coast-to-coast week for The Grascals who performed in Washington D.C. on Monday as part of the Inaugural events. The band played at the Native Nations Inaugural Ball at the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of the American Indian. Founding member, Jamie Johnson, is a member of the Chippewa tribe.
Join host Jay Leno with The Grascals as musical guest this Friday, 1/25/13. The Tonight Show airs on NBC at 11:35 p.m. Eastern / 10:35 p.m. Central.
Keep up with the band at www.grascals.com
Nashville, TN — Multi-award-winning band, The Grascals, will perform at the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of the American Indian on January 21st at 7:00 p.m. for a celebration of the Inauguration of the President of the United States.
The Native Nations Inaugural Ball will feature music, dancing and native cuisine. Funds raised will support the educational programs of the National Museum of the American Indian.
Located on the National Mall in Washington D.C., the museum is one of three facilities operated by The National Museum of the American Indian. It offers exhibition galleries and spaces for performances, lectures and symposia, research, and education.
Master of Ceremony for the event is Native American actor, Chaske Spencer, who has appeared in numerous films including The Twilight Saga, as werewolf Sam Uley. Other performers include the Murray Porter Band, Martha Redbone, Gabriel Ayala and Gerry Barrett.
Jamie Johnson, founding member of The Grascals, is a proud member of the Aamjiwnaang (Chippewa) First Nation of Sarnia, Ontario, where his cousin, Christopher Plain, serves as tribal chief.
"I am proud of my Native American ancestry and so honored for the Grascals to be a part of the Inaugural events," Johnson says. "Native communities, past and present, are rich in cultural history and diversity. It is poignant for Native Nations to join together in celebrating the inauguration of our 44th President."
The Grascals are nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Bluegrass Album for Life Finds A Way (Mountain Home Music). The Grammy Awards air on CBS February 10th.

From this month's American Songwriter:
Formed in 2004, the Grascals have emerged as one of the top bands in modern bluegrass, garnering IBMA awards and Grammy nominations while sharing the stage with the major acts of bluegrass and country music. While the individual band members had long been working professionally on major bluegrass circuits, they never could have anticipated the success they would come to have when they teamed up. Even before their first album was completed they found themselves working with Dolly Parton, who had been recording bluegrass albums for several years.
