Northern Fund
The Northern Fund is vital to continuing academic excellence at Northern Michigan University.
A Northern education is financed by four major sources of revenue:
- state appropriation funds,
- tuition and fees,
- endowment income, and
- annual gifts in support of academic and extracurricular programs.
The last of these – annual gifts - provides crucial funds for students, faculty and staff programs, new technology initiatives and student, faculty and staff development opportunities - all extracurricular activities beyond those financed by the university's general operating budget.
Without the support of alumni, parents and friends who give generously to the Northern Fund, we cannot maintain the margin of excellence for which Northern Michigan University is known.
Some of the programs the Northern Fund at NMU supports are the Washington Center internships, Student Leader Fellowships, and student travel, research, and scholarships.

The Northern Fund giving year is July 1 through June 30.

- How to Read a Study Record
This project will evaluate the effect of two doses of levodopa (L-DOPA) in a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-masked clinical trial to see if vision can be improved in individuals with albinism. The hypothesis is that providing L-DOPA to the retinas of these individuals may increase melanin pigment production. Increased melanin has previously been shown to be associated with improved vision.
Drug: Levodopa
Phase 2
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Allocation: Randomized
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Masking: Double Blind (Subject, Investigator)
Primary Purpose: Treatment
|Official Title:

Detailed Description:
A group of 45 individuals with the clinical findings of oculocutaneous albinism (OCA) will be randomly assigned to one of 3 treatment groups: treatment with 0.76 mg/kg/d with 25% carbidopa, 0.51 mg/kg/d levodopa with 25% carbidopa [divided into 3 doses/d), or placebo. Subjects will be between ages 3 and 60 years. Blood will be drawn to determine the mutation(s) in the genes that causes OCA. Primary outcome will be binocular best-corrected visual acuity measured with the EVA. Enrollment and 20 week examination will be complete eye exam with fundus photos. At weeks 5, 10, and 15, exams will include just vital signs and BCVA. At all visits, a review of potential side effects will be conducted. Between visits, subjects will be contacted to determine if any side effects have occurred. The study will remain double masked until the last study examination on the last subject has been performed. At that time, the data will be statistically analyzed and subjects will be informed re: treatment assignment, mutations found, and the study results.

Sixth in a series of profiles about those in the trenches of Costa Mesa's political battles.
Billy Folsom grows his goatee distinctively long in memory of a fellow Costa Mesa employee whose suicide became the tragic emblem of a city in turmoil.
In his last chat with 29-year-old Huy Pham before his fatal jump from City Hall amid widespread layoff notices, Folsom remembers hearing Pham speak of his relative, who had such long facial hair that he could stroke it in times of thought.
"It made him wise and always gave him pause to think, instead of just reacting," Folsom says.
Folsom, 59, sees his own facial hair as something to help him avoid being a "firebrand," to aid him in thinking things through and just doing the right thing.
This story originally had that the oldest of Billy Folsom's seven children was recently accepted to Ohio State. In fact, it was his youngest who was accepted.
Many would agree that the influential city mechanic, after some 31 years of employment with Costa Mesa, has done exactly that, time and time again.
He's served multiple terms as president of the city's employee association, negotiated contracts, aided in hundreds of police investigations and put a variety of vehicles back in city service.
Colleagues add that he listened to, and represented, them well through the years and, come March, he'll be sorely missed in his retirement.
"The way that he communicates with management and the employees is a class act," says Helen Nenadal, president of the Costa Mesa City Employees Assn. She considers Folsom a mentor.
She calls him "that other wing, my right-hand man, explaining to everybody that this is how we work and this is how we come together. People look up to him."
Folsom says he's leaving Costa Mesa in a time when its operating budget, after attempts to keep spending under control, is lean and mean compared to past and more prosperous years. The result is tough times, he admits.
"It's become a little frustrating, to be efficient, keep things on the road," he says. "It's been hard on everybody."
'From lawn mowers to fire trucks'
Folsom was born in Ogden, Utah, but moved to Newport Beach early in his life. He eventually finished high school back in Utah and has since spent most of his life in Costa Mesa.
Before beginning his career with the city in 1981, Folsom tried his hand at a few things, including marketing, advertising and running his own small businesses. He had a trucking company and automotive repair shop.
Folsom even did a stint as a gold miner in Arizona. He and his partners filed a claim in the Prescott Valley area.
They found pay dirt — at first.

ALEXANDRIA BAY You might not even know it exists, but the dock at River Hospital is here in case you need it.
Emergency medical service providers and people on boats or personal watercraft can drop off those with medical emergencies at the critical-access hospital.
How many cases do you need to justify the dock? Just one, said Dr. Troy R. Johnson, the hospitals chief medical officer.
He cited a July 1 incident in which a 19-month-old child fell out of a boat into the St. Lawrence River. Dr. Johnson said he believes the direct five-minute boat ride to the dock helped save the toddlers life, as it could have taken an extra 40 minutes to get to the hospital by land.
People have used the 50-foot wooden dock to drop off patients needing things as simple as vitamin B12 shots, bloodwork and treatment for a bee sting if they are allergic, on up to mangled limbs from getting tangled in propellers. Serious trauma patients often are sent to River Hospital for stabilization before emergency medical service providers transport them to Syracuse, which has the nearest Level 1 trauma care center.
Robert Kernehan, Alexandria Bay Fire Department boat captain, said River Hospitals dock is crucial because it saves time during medical emergencies.
We dont want to run anymore than we absolutely have to, he said. Last year, we were really busy.
During the peak of summer, Dr. Johnson said, the hospital will get two to six patients from the dock per weekend. Only a handful of cases, if any, arrive during the week. As people pull up to the dock they see a call button, which connects to the hospitals emergency room.
When he is not busy treating people in the emergency room, Dr. Johnson has a perfect view of the St. Lawrence River from his tiny office in a back corner of the hospital.
I love it because I can see the dock, he said. I can get a team down there. Two things cue me: anything close to our frontage or anything coming across here flying.
While the hospital welcomes those surprise guests, he said, a 911 call also is beneficial so dispatch can alert the hospital that theyre coming. That way, EMS providers can meet them there if the patients need to be taken to another hospital for trauma treatment.
Dr. Johnson said EMS providers can go onto boats if patients need immediate medical assistance, but hospital staff cannot go onboard for liability reasons.
Hospital spokeswoman Andrea C. Bates said patients can be dropped off at the dock, but boats cannot dock there. The village dock is a short distance from the hospital.

LOWVILLE A local Roman Catholic priest donned a fire helmet long before he put on the traditional robes of his order.
So, it seems only natural that the Rev. Christopher C. Carrara pastor of St. Peters Church, St. Hedwigs Church in Houseville and St. Marys Church in Glenfield would add chaplaincy of Lewis County fire and emergency services to his already extensive resume of volunteer service.
Its a perfect fit, said county Legislature Chairman Michael A. Tabolt, R-Croghan.
It was a hole we didnt have covered before, said James M. Martin, the countys director of fire and emergency services.
Lawmakers recently authorized Mr. Martin to appoint a clergy deputy fire coordinator, and Father Carrara who has served as chaplain of the Lewis County Sheriffs Department since 2010 and the Jefferson County Sheriffs Department since 1995 was named to the new unpaid post.
Its a volunteer service to the people of the county, the priest said. Its good that the legislators saw the need.
Mr. Tabolt, an honorary member of the Croghan Volunteer Fire Department after many years of active service on both its fire and ambulance squads, said not all needs of emergency victims and their family members can be met by first responders.
In some cases, the spiritual comfort may be the only treatment available, he said.
County law enforcement and emergency leaders all agreed that in stressful situations such as fires and accidents, a chaplain can play a vital role in counseling both those involved in and those responding to emergencies.
The presence of the chaplain is comforting to the scene, said Robert A. Mackenzie III, the countys emergency medical services coordinator.
When all else fails, Ill say the father is a person of reason and understanding and a confidante to all, Sheriff Michael P. Carpinelli said, crediting his predecessor, L. Michael Tabolt, with adding the department chaplain. Hes a calm in the storm.
Father Carrara, who was ordained as a priest in the Ogdensburg diocese in 1994, became a junior firefighter with the Selden Fire Department on Long Island back in 1980 at the age of 16, then joined the department in 1982 and became an associate chaplain for that fire district in 1986. He then became a certified emergency medical technician in the late 1980s, earned a certificate of critical incident stress management in 2000 and completed incident command certification in 2006.
The priest has been a member of several other fire departments and served as a chaplain for various law enforcement, fire and emergency service agencies in Suffolk, Franklin and Jefferson counties before coming here.
He also is a member of the Firemens Association of the State of New York, a full member of the International Conference of Police Chaplains and a life member of the New York State Association of Fire Chaplains.
Father Carrara noted emergency services chaplaincy follows the military model of service to anyone in need, regardless of denomination or religious persuasion.
You are a chaplain for everyone, he said.
Father Carrara referred to on emergency radio calls as FC7 for fire service and Clergy 1 for law enforcement said he already has attended some meetings of the Lewis County Fire Advisory Board and made a few official appearances at fire and accident scenes and at the funeral of a fire department member.
I seemed to be well received, he said.

First year students at MECA engage community with mural project
Posted: 2012-10-03
This striking new mural recently appeared as a result of a community partnership and MECA's Public Engagement efforts at the corner of Preble Street and Cumberland Avenue, a block off of Monument Square.
Two of MECA's FY-In sections have teamed up with Wright Ryan to create a temporary public installation on the exterior of the new Preble St Teen Center. Paul Gebhardt and Adam Manley's classes collaborated to create a 48 foot Mural to be mounted on the side of the building at the corner of Preble and Cumberland Streets. Students worked together to come up with a mural spoke to both the residents of the center and the general population of Portland. After a group brainstorming session, the students were divided into groups of two, each of which was assigned a letter, as well as a language commonly spoken in Portland to act as a visual prompt for the painting of their letter. The mural is divided into 4' x 4' squares, each containing one letter, and the individual artworks that developed around each of these letters is based on the students' extensive research into the visual language of the assigned cultures.
The building is being renovated to become the Preble Street Resource Center's new Joe Kreisler Teen Shelter. But the mural is actually a collaboration between Wright-Ryan Construction and this year's freshman class at the Maine College of Art.
Wright-Ryan superintendent Rob Barrett was a driving force behind the initiative. He said, "The building renovations required his crew to remove the first-floor facade and erect a temporary plywood shed. Instead of having a blank wall, it seemed like a perfect canvas for a community art project, so I contacted a couple of instructors at MECA. Members of the freshman class then teamed up in pairs to paint the mural's individual panels, each of which honors a different nationality from the diverse immigrant community at the nearby Portland High School."
"It was a way to get incoming freshmen introduced to Portland, and introduced to the Preble Street Resource Center, with a community-based arts project," explains Barrett.

Elegant Enigmas: The Art of Edward Gorey comes to Portland
Posted: 2012-09-13
Portland, ME ~ The Bank of Maine proudly presents Elegant Enigmas: The Art of Edward Gorey opening on Friday, October 5, 2012, and continuing through December 29 on display at Portland Public Library's Lewis Gallery. The exhibition is free of charge to the general public and features original illustrations, preparatory sketches, unpublished drawings and ephemera by the internationally celebrated artist and author Edward Gorey. This highly acclaimed exhibit is made possible by generous support from The Bank of Maine and a collaboration between Maine College of Art (MECA) and Portland Public Library.
Elegant Enigmas pays tribute to the work of Edward Gorey (1925 – 2000), best known for his brilliant drawings and witty, quirky stories. Described as "incredibly sophisticated…stylish and inventive" by the New York Observer, Gorey's signature pen-and-ink illustrations and macabre wit has led him to be considered one of America's most imaginative and eccentric artists of all-time. During his lifetime, Gorey published over 100 works, designed sets and costumes for countless theatre productions, created popular animations, and illustrated works for a wide array of artists ranging from Charles Dickens and John Updike to Virginia Woolf and H.G. Wells.
Elegant Enigmas includes approximately 180 original works, including selections from The Gashlycrumb Tinies, The Doubtful Guest, The Unstrung Harp, The Gilded Bat, and other well-known publications, drawn primarily from the extensive archives of The Edward Gorey Charitable Trust and significant private collections.
Chairman and CEO of The Bank of Maine, John Everets, one of many local Gorey enthusiasts said, "We are proud to sponsor this exhibit and delighted to help share the fascinating genius of Edward Gorey with the Greater Portland community. We hope that people take advantage of this tremendous opportunity to experience Elegant Enigmas for themselves."
or to schedule an interview with Gorey expert and chair of MECA's illustration department, Scott Nash, please contact Raffi Der Simonian at 207.699.5010 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
This Exhibition has been organized by the Edwards Gorey Charitable Trust and the Brandywine River Museum, Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania.
Artist who designed Sprague oil tanks speaks at MECA
Posted: 2012-09-07
Jaime Gili, the artist who designed the art for Sprague Energy Corporation's oil tanks that line Casco Bay between Portland and South Portland, will visit Maine this coming week, spoke at MECA's Osher Hall on Wednesday, September 12, 2012 at 5:30 p.m. The event was hosted by the Maine Center for Creativity, in partnership with Maine College of Art.
The Maine Center for Creativity, in ground-breaking collaboration with the Sprague Energy Corporation, sponsored the Art All Around® project. It is a bold initiative launched in 2008 to spearhead an international design competition. It's goal: to transform 16 oil storage tanks on Portland harbor into an integrated 'canvas' of color and design at the gateway to the state's largest city – and to all of Maine.
The first phase was an open design competition that received 560 submissions from 80 countries. Designs were evaluated by a select, international panel of judges. Five semifinalists, including two from Maine, each received a $10,000 prize award. Jaime Gili, a young Venezuela-born artist living in London, was selected as the final winner – and received the $20,000 grand prize.
To date, five tanks of the 16 tanks have been completed, and Gili is visiting Maine to talk about the project, his inspiration, and how it compares to his other artistic endeavors.
About Jaime Gili
Jaime Gili was born in Caracas in 1972 and lives in London. His work has been described as continuing a tradition of Latin American abstract art, especially the Venezuelan optical artists from the 20th Century. Critics have described his work as a mix of Pop, Minimalism, Vorticism, Futurism and graffiti Art. Gili received his MA in painting from the Royal College of Art in 1998, after studying in Caracas and Barcelona, and has exhibited since in the UK, the USA, Brazil, Switzerland, Spain, Argentina and Venezuela. Art All Around® jurors selected Gili's work from among 560 submissions from more than 80 countries during the Maine Center for Creativity's international competition to transform the Sprague industrial site into the world's largest public art painting.
About the Maine Center for Creativity

I first thought this a duplicate squawk- but it's from a different perspective. The C-160's last flight certainly demonstrated the its rough-field capability! Now, if we can just get some pics by the spotters under the starboard engine......
I gots a stupid question? How come we get all the SQUAWKS posted here that say Duplicate squawk, yet I went to post one last week and it told me that "This URL has already been posted" or something to that effect. How can somebody post a duplicate?
Usually it's because it is the same story from a different site.
I believe I would have had to run
"However the pilot suddenly reported that he could not see the start of the runway from his cockpit..."
Why didn't he try going around? Serious question, please enlighten me.
You have asked a good question, but unfortunatly, since it was the planes last flight and there was no crash, they said it would not be investigated, hence we won't know.
The fact that this was the plan´s flight does not mean the pilot wass home free for Luftwafe should have conducted an investigation.
They probably should have but according to the article but it said they were not going to. I guess since it was an IPBAR landing as Toby says here below, they just decided to let well enough alone.lol
It all depends on WHO the pilot is. Policics is not limited to the home country. Last flight or not, you and I probably would be investigated. His first name is probably proceeded by a title like Baron, at least. The pilot is lucky the left landing gear stayed in place. Looks like he dispaced a half a cubic yard of dirt before he hit the edge of the pavement and base of the roadway. Never flew the 160 but it must be one tough bird.
I think it is about their equivalent of a C130
A cabbage patch C 130, twin engine. But you knew that.
Ric, you only know what I listed
Incorrect. I only know what the FAA Civil Aviation Airman Registry tells me.
First, it was a she. Second: Never flew a C-160? I guess not, a private pilot with a single eng rating and a dead medical
....bad day man?
And so???
SHE could not see the end of the runway. Perhaps she was vertically challenged and could not see out the window.
Where did you see any reference to SHE. Article clearly states Captain Kirsch, and HE.
The captain's first name is Jasmin and the subtitle of the article said SHE couldn't see start of runway from HER cockpit.
Saw it after a reread. Tks
Last landing for the plane and last landing for the pilot, aufiedersen
Wanna bet there were a few pairs of soiled shorts under that wing?
Airplane doesn't care if a pilot is a "she", "he", or "other". It's all about flying. If she could not make out that runway, in that weather, she should have gone around. Darn it but I wish it hadn't been a "she".
I read the story and the author said "he", I think. Don't be fooled by German names.
Well, tis a "she" and she was featured in an article about women in the Luftwaffe. http://www.wgvdl.net/forum/index.php?mode=thread&id=57751
Missed that article My bad
Miss Elizabeth will let you know about that Female business in a hurry.LOL
I see that.
Yeah, yeah...smartypants!
It is confusing but he does say both in the article. If you reread and clseley he does settle on SHE and gives her full name
Down here this what we call an IPBAR approach. Wayne should know this
It'll Probably Be All Right
Well, I hadn't never heard it quite put like that but that is a pretty apt description.LOL
A little bump, but I got it down and nothing hurt.lol
Any landing you walk away from...
Thank you for sharing
pretty cool what ever
Aren't those spectators awfully close to the runway?
Well, there is a comment in the story about them being too close and the raised road as well. Seems some went past the barricades but nobody made them come back and whoop, der it wuz.
Eerie that this mishap could have turned out like:
This shows why people never should be allowed to stand at the end of a runway. Bit like letting people standby in the run off on a regular racetrack. Great when nothing happens but what if.... At least no one hurt and they can't be allowed to complain, they should know better.
Just like living in an approach path. If something is going to happen, that's where it probably will. Just because the Airport don't own the property doesn't make it safe.
Please stop saving me from myself, Dave.
or around the edge of a football field or basketball court
Wow, when I posted this a "duplicate" squawk a month ago, all you guys did was complain...
The other day while i was on the computer to Frakfurt airport for landing difteen
plans and in the time i got 51 difteen plans landing.you might like to see.
I also think there was a problem with the engines because:
1.Because it was the C-160's last flight there were some maintenance issues.
2. Or it could of been an engine failure as well.
I am really glad that those people weren't crushed by the landing gear>
Or it could have been, like, you know, pilot error?
Unlikely, it WAS the correct airfield.

The Daily Mail's recent article 'Has feminism killed the art of home cooking?' serves as an example of the mediated discourses which hold feminist values and therefore women, as responsible for the so-called child obesity epidemic (WHO, 2010). The argument centers on three discourses – morality, science and gender.
In contemporary societies the responsibility for health is increasingly that of the individual (Petersen 1997). That is, we are held morally responsible for the quality and quantity of food that passes our lips, the amount of exercise we take and so on. So weight gain is presumed to be a result of health-defeating practices. However unlike adults, children are clearly not able to self-regulate and manage their own health because children cannot be responsible for food production and consumption themselves. That responsibility, it is argued, resides with parents and specifically with mothers. Drawing on natural science discourses, advocates of this position argue that due to biology 'women possess a greater nurturing instinct than men'. Therefore mothers are presumed to have primary responsibility for their children's health. If children are overweight it is mothers and not fathers who are held accountable.
Maher, Fraser and Wright's (2010) research on media representations of mothers has identified two ways in which they are held accountable. The first, like the Daily Mail, points to the increasing absence of the family meal. It suggests that if women didn't follow feminist values and work so long or so hard, then they would have more time to spend at home creating nutritious meals. It is their absence from the home that is blamed as the reason children eat at junk food outlets far too often, survive on processed meals and eat too many snack foods. The second way mothers are held accountable is through pregnancy. Scientists argue that 'diet, exercise and women's attentiveness before and during pregnancy are linked to specific disabilities, to childhood health generally and, more recently, to childhood obesity' (Maher, Fraser and Wright, 2010).
It is these mediated discourses that hold mothers specifically responsible for the battle of the bulge, but more generally they argue 'it's feminism we have to thank for the spread of fast-food chains and an epidemic of childhood obesity.'
Has feminism killed the art of home cooking?
Is it really women's fault our kids are fat?

The Fisheries Service wants to make anglers aware of two bills proposed in the 2013 Legislative Session which, if approved, will affect 2014 fishing license fees. Senate Bill 525 affects both commercial and recreational fees and Senate Bill 662 only affects commercial fees, including fishing guides.
The legislation was not submitted by the Department of Natural Resources. Both bills were recommended by the Chesapeake Bay Commercial Fishermens Association and the sponsors of the bills are listed below. The Department is reaching out to assure you are aware of the bills and we encourage you to contact the sponsors and organizations that recommended these bills to share your support or concerns.
Senators Colburn and Dyson, Delegate Jacobs
(Senate Education, Health, and Environmental Affairs, 1st Reader: Hearing 2/26/2013, 1pm) Establishing the Sustainable Fisheries Enforcement Fund as a special enforcement fund; applying a $10 surcharge to commercial fishing licenses and recreational fishing licenses (except seniors and complimentary); requiring that the surcharge supplements current revenue and can only be used for enforcement activities of the Natural Resources Police.

People taking part in marathon runs are put to the test on their way to finish the race. The training required for long runs requires a lot of time and dedication in order to accomplish goals.
Staying shape through triathlons and marathons is one of the methods used by many in the local community. Seen here are pictures during different races involving both children and adults. Whether it's a triathlon involving a 1.5 km swim, a 40 km bike ride and a 10 km run, or for some enthusiasts even longer distances, it is surely an activity to keep people active and fit.
Staying shape through triathlons and marathons is one of the methods used by many in the local community. Seen here are pictures during different races involving both children and adults. Whether it's a triathlon involving a 1.5 km swim, a 40 km bike ride and a 10 km run, or for some enthusiasts even longer distances, it is surely an activity to keep people active and fit.
Statistics show that Carbon County is one of the least healthy counties in the state. Obesity levels are rising nation-wide. Many of today's grown ups have developed an aversion to working out because they are reminded of the agony of physical education classes when they were back in school.
But there is a growing interest in finding a new level of fitness through running, biking and Triathlons. One of the suggestions for a person wanting to get back in shape is to train for a specific race or event.
Several years ago, running races and triathlons were things you had to travel to the Wasatch front for if you wanted to do much more than a fun run.
But over the past several years Carbon, Grand and Emery Counties are developing some high class events that are drawing in competitors from all over the country. These range from 5K's to Triathlons, Marathons and half Marathons.
In Price alone, there are over five different 5K's this summer. Many of these events are also a way to support a good cause. A 5 K is 3.1 miles and an easy distance for a beginner to start with.
On June 10, there was a Fireman's 5K which was held for the first time. On July 30 there will be the annual 5K for Price's International Days. Also on July 30th there is the Crandall Canyon 5 and 10k run and then on August 20 there will be another 5K during the Helper Arts Festival that runs down Spring Canyon. You can sign up for those through Carbon County Recreation.
In the fall, Active Re-Entry will have their ninth annual Run Walk and Roll 5K to raise funds for assistive technology for people with disabilities in our area.
That will be followed up with one last one on October 1 as part of Domestic Violence Prevention Awareness.
For more of a challenge there are several marathons and half marathons to participate in.
In early March there is the Moab I/2 Marathon (13.2 miles). This is huge and you have to enter a lottery to get a chance to get in.
Next year it will be March 12. Then you can also run in the Moab "Other 1/2" in October 16. Again this is a race you have to draw a spot in and registration fills up fast.
They offer one last race on the season that is popular for many from Price and that is the Winter Sun 10K (6.2) on December 3.
In September you could head to the San Rafael for the Little Grand Canyon Marathon, 1/2 Mary and 10K. This race is held September 10th.
For those who love to cross train in many sports, a triathlon may be worth the challenge.
There are two levels to attempt. You can start at the sprint level with a 1/2 mile swim and a 12-15 mile bike ride and then a 5k run. Once you have that conquered you can move up to the Olympic level.
All the distances in the sprint distance are doubled for an Olympic race.
In our area we have the San Rafael Classic Triathlon at Huntington Lake State Park.
It was held this year on July 9. The lake was warm enough to swim the first leg without a wet suit. The bike course takes you up a big climb on Morhland Road and then finishes with a run up the same road, but the run leg is short enough that the hill is not a factor.
The course is "closed" which means all traffic is kept off the road during the race.
A week later is the Scofield Triathlon which is held up at Scofield State Park. It is one of the highest altitude triathlons in the nation at 7,600 feet.
The water is usually cold enough that wet suits are strongly recommended.
The bike and run courses are relatively flat, but are "open" courses with riders and runners needing to stay out of the way of traffic.
Both of the triathlons have a children's tri after all the adults are finished. It is a good way to make this activity a family affair.
Scofield also includes a distance called the "Escape" which has a 5 mile swim, 37 mile bike ride up to Electric Lake and a 10 mile run.
It is enough to challenge the fittest among us.
So dust off those running shoes and take the cobwebs off that old bike and join the growing number of people who are racing their way to fitness.

The Word Becomes Flesh
1In the beginning was the Word. The Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2He was with God in the beginning.
3All things were made through Him, and apart from Him nothing was made that has come into being.
4In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.
5The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overpowered it.
6There came a man sent from God, whose name was John.
7He came as a witness to testify about the light, so that through him everyone might believe.
8He was not the light, but he came to bear witness concerning the light.
9The true light, coming into the world, gives light to every man.
10He was in the world, and the world was made through Him; but the world did not know Him.
11He came to His own, but His own did not receive Him.
12But whoever did receive Him, those trusting in His name, to these He gave the right to become children of God.
13They were born not of a bloodline, nor of human desire, nor of man's will, but of God.
14And the Word became flesh and tabernacled among us. We looked upon His glory, the glory of the one and only from the Father, full of grace and truth.
15John testifies about Him. He cried out, saying, "This is He of whom I said, 'The One who comes after me is above me, because He existed before me.'"
16Out of His fullness, we have all received grace on top of grace.
17Torah was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Yeshua the Messiah.
18No one has ever seen God; but the one and only God, in the Father's embrace, has made Him known.
John's Witness to Israel's Leaders
19This is John's testimony, when the Judean leaders sent kohanim and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, "Who are you?"
20He openly admitted and did not deny; he admitted, "I am not the Messiah."
21"What then? Are you Elijah?" they asked him. "I am not," said John. "Are you the Prophet?" "No," he answered.
22So they said to him, "Who are you? Give us an answer for those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?"
23He said, "I am 'the voice of one crying in the wilderness, "Make straight the way of Adonai,"' as the prophet Isaiah said."
24Now those sent were from the Pharisees.
25They asked him, "If you're not the Messiah, Elijah, or the Prophet, why then are you immersing?"
26"I immerse in water," John answered. "Among you stands One you do not know,
27coming after me, whose sandals I'm not worthy to untie."
28These things happened in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was immersing.
Behold, the Lamb of God
29The next day, John sees Yeshua coming to him and says, "Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!
30This is the One about whom I told you, 'He who comes after me is above me, because He was before me.'
31I didn't know Him, but I came immersing with water so that He might be revealed to Israel."
32Then John testified, "I have seen the Ruach coming down like a dove out of heaven, and it remained on Him.
33I did not know Him; but the One who sent me to immerse in water said to me, 'The One on whom you see the Ruach coming down and remaining, this is the One who immerses in the Ruach ha-Kodesh.'
34And I have seen and testified that this is Ben-Elohim."
Yeshua's First Disciples
35Again the next day, John was standing with two of his disciples
36and watched Yeshua walking by. He said, "Behold, the Lamb of God!"
37The two disciples heard him say this, and they followed Yeshua.
38Yeshua turned around and saw them following. He said to them, "What are you looking for?" They said to Him, "Rabbi" (which is translated Teacher), "where are you staying?"
39"Come and see," Yeshua tells them. So they came and saw where He was staying, and they spent that day with Him. It was about the tenth hour.
40Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two who heard John speak and followed Yeshua.
41First he finds his own brother Simon and tells him, "We've found the Messiah!" (which is translated Anointed One).
42Andrew brought Simon to Yeshua. Yeshua looked at him and said, "You are Simon, son of John. You shall be called Kefa (which is translated Peter)."
Disciples Offer Witness
43The next day, Yeshua decided to go to the Galilee. He finds Philip and says to him, "Follow Me!"
44Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the same town as Andrew and Peter.
45Philip finds Nathanael and tells him, "We've found the One that Moses in the Torah, and also the prophets, wrote about—Yeshua of Natzeret, the son of Joseph!"
46"Natzeret!" Nathanael answered. "Can anything good come from there?" Philip said to him, "Come and see."
47Yeshua saw Nathanael coming toward Him. He said, "Look, a true Israelite! There's nothing false in him."
48Nathanael said to Him, "How do you know me?" Yeshua answered, "Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you."
49"Rabbi," Nathanael answered, "You are Ben-Elohim! You are the King of Israel!"
50"Because I told you that I saw you under the fig tree, you believe?" Yeshua replied to him. "You will see greater things than that!"
51And He said, "Amen, amen I tell you, you will see heaven opened and the angels of God going up and coming down on the Son of Man!"

DEDHAM, Maine (NEWS CENTER) --- While the weather was wet on Monday, it did not put a damper on what was the first day for kids at Camp CaPella on Phillips Lake.
The camp is entering its fourty-ninth year serving kids and adults with physical and developmental disabilities. This year private donors chipped in to help raise more than $50,000 for Camp Capella. That money will go to help many kids attend the camp for free.
The camp is also working with the University of Maine to help provide activities for the kids. On Monday many of them got to look at some owls brought in by the Chewonki Foundation. The kids also got to put their floaters on to take a little swim in Phillips Lake. Camp organizers say they want to thank the community for making all the fun possible.
"Everything you see here was here because people cared enough about this camp and cared enough about children with disabilities having this kind of experience," said Dana Mosher, who is the camp's executive director, "that's how important it is...we wouldn't be here if it weren't for those donations and community support."
The camp will be hosting groups of kids for the next five weeks. If you would like to register your child or make a donation to the camp, call (207)843-5104.

A little of this, a little of that …
There are some sports writers and columnists who believe that one of the job's requisites is to put themselves in the shoes of a professional athlete. It's as if the power of the pen and computer grants these gatekeepers of the locker room the ability to read millionaire's minds or to step inside their bodies.
And that's when the real trouble ensues.
Media personnel like to fancy themselves as experts of the beat they are assigned to, but really aren't, unless they've suited up and played the game themselves. Their primary goal is to net enough material to satisfy the day's work requirements. They listen to what coaches and players say on a given subject before deciding how to go about crafting a story that properly captures the team's mood.
Sounds pretty straightforward, doesn't it? The media is spoon-fed information, which is then distributed via blog or Twitter. Rinse and repeat, but always make sure the point being conveyed is 140 characters or less.
There are those in the media biz who feel that it's their duty to venture beyond the meat and potatoes that are served up and fan the flames of controversy. Specifically, they like to pull out the "soft" card and throw it in the middle of the table when they see a situation where athlete has more Charmin than Iron Man qualities.
Athletes who go 0-for-4 with three strikeouts and leave runners on base are fair game for criticism. But when those same athletes miss time due to injuries, they shouldn't have their names dragged through the mud as if they're letting their teammates and fan base down.
Other than the athlete, and the team doctors and training staff, no one is in a position to make judgments on what's taking place behind closed doors. Guesswork on injuries is a downright messy business and a practice that potentially puts even more distance between athletes and those who cover them.
Unless a media member is privileged enough to obtain actual facts – too often injury information comes from an anonymous source who prefers to go by the alias "John Doe" rather than his or her actual name – it's best to let sleeping dogs lie. No room for speculation at this time.
There are a couple of reasons why this corner has been itching to say something on this subject matter. Somehow, the Chicago Bulls advanced to the second round of the NBA playoffs against LeBron James & Co. despite not having the services of star point guard Derrick Rose, who has come under a wave of criticism for sitting out the entire season with a knee injury that was sustained one year ago.
The drumbeat of Rose letting down his teammates by not at least giving it the old college try only grows louder now that Chicago is involved in a high-stakes showdown with Miami. Those same people who are quick to pass judgment on Rose have probably never rehabbed from a torn ACL.
Paraphrasing from former NFL coach Jim Mora, the media doesn't know "diddly poo" about Rose's condition. To question his commitment seems more grist for the mill than actual reporting. If Rose comes back this round, great. If he doesn't and the Bulls end up falling to the Heat, chalk it up to the fact that injuries are part of sports.
The situation involving Rose is eerily similar to the fallout Boston outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury had to deal with after fracturing his ribs during the 2010 season. It wasn't just that Ellsbury got hurt. It was that he had to go out of his way to defend why his recuperation time lasted longer than expected.
Last time I checked, the media's qualifications stem from undergraduate degrees in journalism, English, history or political science. You will be hard-pressed to find a doctor or a psychologist in your press-box travels. But that doesn't prevent some from circling around an injured athlete like a bird of prey looking for its next victim.
Speaking of psychology, some grabbed hold of the theory that the reason why PawSox shortstop Jose Iglesias wasn't in the lineup for the three straight days was the result of disciplinary measures taken by the parent club. Those same folks who chose to wave the accusatory finger haven't set foot inside McCoy Stadium this season or talked to manager Gary DiSarcina.
All DiSarcina said regarding Iglesias' absence was "manager's decision." In eyes of some, the answer was less than forthcoming, thus the reaction to throw mud against the wall and paint a picture that dramatizes the matter. Just like that, Iglesias is viewed as a problematic sort in need of a reality check.
Whatever happened to taking what is said from a reliable source and stamping "case closed" on the topic? The notion of reporters digging deeper is all well and good so long as it doesn't come at the expense of launching an undeserved assault on an athlete's reputation.
Alas, such a course of action is pure fantasy, hence no wonder that players and coaches view the media with so much skepticism.

Hollywood's omnipresent long, beachy waves smartened up this season and have transformed into the glamour curl. The stylized, polished, femme fatale look has quite the pedigree; the original version is associated with film noir star Veronica Lake. This fall, Gucci and Valentino showed modern (read: not stiff) variations that wowed us thanks to their lush-yet-restrained beauty. The cultivated curls-complete with deep side part-are making an appearance in celebrity style too, as notable ladies like Natalie Portman take this elegant look to the red carpets.
Glamour curls lend themselves to variation, which means you can make this style as involved or easy as you'd like. Your lazy editors like to start by making the look's signature deep part in their wet hair and drying the hair in this pre-assigned position. (Our hair can be unruly thanks to bangs (Hillary) and waves (Katherine) but drying after you've chosen your part helps to "train" it.) To fatten up your strands and coax curl out of flat locks, spritz on a thickener before drying. We're currently crazy about Ted Gibson's Build It Blow Drying Agent ($28). It builds body, smoothes flyways, and acts as a heat-protector, neato!
Options abound for curl making, so take your pick (whatever works best for your hair type/texture and styling abilities, naturally) from round brush, curling iron, or hot rollers. If you use hot rollers, choose jumbo sized curlers, don't leave them in too long (resulting in pageant hair), and only wind them to just below your ears (so the top part of your hair stays smooth). Conair's Instant Heat Jumbo-Sized Rollers are our go-to product, as they're great price and never snag your hair (from $19.99). The same applies to curling irons; only curl to the earlobes and use a big barrel, like Tigi Bed Head's Tourmaline Nano-Ceramic Styling Iron (from $25). A round brush plus blow dryer will give you softer curls; so don't be concerned about the above-mentioned over-volumizing. We suggest holding the brush horizontally when drying each section into a curl, and then shift the brush to a vertical position to unwind the curl.

The Lady Dinos began their run for the top seed in region eight with a win on Thursday over Emery High.
According to head coach Bruce Bean, Carbon and Emery have each had their share of wins and losses over the years in the highly anticipated matchup.
"It's quite a rivalry," he stated. "There's been times when we've been better and they've won and they've been better and we've won."
With the Emery game, Carbon begins a stream of region play which will continue right up until the first rounds of the state tournament.
Bean said he expects a dog fight from the other four region teams.
"This is the toughest region top to bottom in the state in 3A," he commented. "It's gonna be a battle."
At this point in the season, Carbon High is focusing on executing the skills they learned early on.
"Our strengths are our scoring ability and our competitiveness," Bean noted. "Our girls take a lot of pride in this game."
Bean also added that defensively the team is holding opponents to approximately 40 points a game, which he considers to be strong.
Carbon will host North Sanpete tonight, then travel to Delta and Lehi.
Bean said he expects these early games to dictate the team's position when the state tournament rolls around.
"The next week and a half is really going to make or break where we're seeded for the state tourney," he said.

Shardsby Ismet Prcic
2013 Oregon Book Award for Fiction
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Ismet Prcic's brilliant, provocative, and propulsively energetic debut is about a young Bosnian, also named Ismet Prcic, who has fled his war-torn homeland and is now struggling to reconcile his past with his present life in California.
He is advised that in order to make peace with the corrosive guilt he harbors over leaving behind his family behind, he must write everything." The result is a great rattlebag of memories, confessions, and fictions: sweetly humorous recollections of Ismet's childhood in Tuzla appear alongside anguished letters to his mother about the challenges of life in this new world. As Ismet's foothold in the present falls away, his writings are further complicated by stories from the point of view of another young man — real or imagined — named Mustafa, who joined a troop of elite soldiers and stayed in Bosnia to fight. When Mustafa's story begins to overshadow Ismet's new-world identity, the reader is charged with piecing together the fragments of a life that has become eerily unrecognizable, even to the one living it.
Shards is a thrilling read — a harrowing war story, a stunningly inventive coming of age, and a heartbreaking saga of a splintered family.
"With this frenetic debut novel set during the Bosnian war, Prcic proves that it's impossible to outrun your past. The narrator, whose name is Ismet Prcic, recounts his childhood in Tuzla before the war and his adolescent interest in theater, which led him to a drama festival in Edinburgh, and his escape to America in 1995. But Prcic's tale is complicated and nonlinear; intercut with his youthful days in Bosnia spent avoiding Serbian mortar attacks are snippets of his rapidly deteriorating life in California, letters to his depressive mother back home, and, in a most intriguing twist, the story of another young Bosnian man, Mustafa Nalic. Instructed by his American psychiatrist to 'write everything' (and take Xanax), Prcic at first seems to have invented Mustafa as a counterpart to his own life: Mustafa the soldier who remained in Bosnia. But as the fictional Prcic continues to deteriorate in the U.S., losing his girlfriend and his fragile grasp on reality, Mustafa morphs from fictional construct to flesh and blood until Prcic cannot separate his memories from what 'Mustafa' imagined. Though the intricate structure proves challenging at times, Prcic captures the insanity of war and its unceasing aftermath." Publishers Weekly Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.
"Impressive....Inventive....Pushes against convention, logic, chronology....Ambitious and deep...[Prcic] succeeds at writing an unsettling and powerful novel." The New York Times Book Review
"Fierce, funny and real, it also says much about war, exile, guilt and fear." Chicago Sun Times, Favorite books of 2011
"Prcic captures the insanity of war and its unceasing aftermath." Publishers Weekly
"A playful but heartfelt debut....Brightly detailed...[Prcic is] a spirited, soulful talent." Kirkus Reviews
"Brilliant....With verbal glee, Prcic serves up a darkly comic vision of the terrors and misunderstandings of immigration. Tight, glorious little tales-within-tales abound, rattled off with a quick, artless naturalism....The writing is packed with one original metaphor after another, language that's almost drunk with colorful, startling images....Brimming with scraps of memory, regrets, and rationalizations, Shards leaves an indelible scar on the reader's imagination. Prcic has pieced together a young man's story from the torn and exploded remains of his former life, and the sheer power of his language leaves the reader shaken." Shelf Awareness
"Brutally vivid." The Oregonian
"The experience of reading Shards — the deliberate disorientation, the layering and morphing of events that characterize the book — reveals in a more visceral way what it might be like to live always with a full awareness of the tenuousness of civil society, of the terrible precariousness of calm." St. Louis Beacon
"Compelling, sensual detail....Prcic's prose is effective both at delineating the psychological nuances of his characters, and the sometimes-dodgy circumstances of the outside world....There is a strain of dark humor running throughout, and an elastic joy in storytelling and linguistic expression that prevents this from being a simple recitation of atrocities and pain....Well-written and thought-provoking....The story it tells is as unique and individual as the author who penned it." PopMatters
"Experimental and brutal and heart-wrenching....You just give in to it, as you do when reading someone like Faulkner...What makes Shards so compelling is, first of all, the language...which has an almost ferocious beauty. Secondly, and as important, is the organization of the book, which gives it a sense of urgency....Ismet's confusion is so vivid that it becomes ours, making us participants in this story....To have had such a life when you are so young is hard to convey without becoming sentimental or pathetic, yet Prcic has done it brilliantly." The Arts Fuse
"Innovative in form and startling in its storytelling, Shards is a brilliant debut novel from Ismet Prcic." Largehearted Boy
About the Author
Ismet Prcic was born in Tuzla, Bosnia-Herzegovina, in 1977 and immigrated to America in 1996. Shards is his first novel.
