A woman was taken to Watauga Medical Center suffering injuries from a lunchtime accident in the horseshoe curve on Poplar Grove Road South. The nearly head-on crash involved a large Chevy SUV and a large work truck belonging to a construction company. The woman was carefully pulled
from the wreckage and transported by Watauga Medics while the State Patrol investigated. Poplar Grove Road traffic was tied up for some time due to the wreck.

When Things Fall Apart: Heart Advice for Difficult Times (Shambhala Classics)by Pema Chodron
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
How can we go on living "when things fall apart" — when we are overcome by pain, fear, and anxiety? Pema Chödrön's answer to that question contains some spectacularly good news: there is a fundamental happiness readily available to each one of us, no matter how difficult things seem to be. But to find it, we must learn to stop running from suffering, and instead actually learn to approach it — fearlessly, compassionately, and with curiosity. This radical practice enables us to use all situations, even very painful ones, as means for discovering the truth and love that are utterly indestructible.
From Our Staff:
With her Buddhist background, Pema Chodron addresses the reader with many of life's philosophical hurdles at all levels. Turn to any page in When Things Fall Apart and something will feel applicable to today's hurdle...
"Pema Chodron, a student of Chogyam Trunpa Rinpoche and Abbot of Gampo Abbey, has written the Tibetan Buddhist equivalent of Harold Kushner's famous book, When Bad Things Happen to Good People. As the author indicates in the postscript to her book: 'We live in difficult times. One senses a possibility they may get worse.' Consequently, Chodron's book is filled with useful advice about how Buddhism helps readers to cope with the grim realities of modern life, including fear, despair, rage and the feeling that we are not in control of our lives. Through reflections on the central Buddhist teaching of right mindfulness, Chodron orients readers and gives them language with which to shape their thinking about the ordinary and extraordinary traumas of modern life. But, most importantly, Chodron demonstrates how effective the Buddhist point of view can be in bringing order into disordered lives." Publishers Weekly
"As one of Pema Chödrön's grateful students, I have been learning the most pressing and necessary lessons of all: how to keep opening wider my own heart." Alice Walker
"There are few Dharma voices as clear as Pema Chodron's, and few people who know more about things falling apart than mothers." Tricycle Magazine
An American Buddhist teacher reveals the secret to happiness in the midst of life's difficulties. Pema Chodron shows that the secret to freeing ourselves from pain is not to run away from it, but to step right into the uncharted territory of difficulty with friendliness and curiosity and to relax with the groundlessness of our condition — however difficult it may be.
The beautiful practicality of her teaching has made Pema Chödrön one of the most beloved of contemporary American spiritual authors among Buddhists and non-Buddhists alike. A collection of talks she gave between 1987 and 1994, the book is a treasury of wisdom for going on living when we are overcome by pain and difficulties. Chödrön discusses:
• Using painful emotions to cultivate wisdom, compassion, and courage
• Communicating so as to encourage others to open up rather than shut down
• Practices for reversing habitual patterns
• Methods for working with chaotic situations
• Ways for creating effective social action
About the Author
Pema Chödrön is a bhikshuni, or Buddhist nun in the Tibetan Vajrayana tradition. Since her ordination in 1974, Ane Pema ("Ane" is a Tibetan honorific for a nun) has conducted workshops, seminars, and meditation re-treats in Europe, Australia, and throughout North America. She is the director of Gampo Abbey, the first Tibetan Buddhist monastery for monks and nuns in North America. Pema Chödrön is also an acharya (master teacher) in the lineage of Chögyam Trungpa, Rinpoche. She is the author of The Wisdom of No Escape; Start Where You Are; and When Things Fall Apart.

I am attending BCT and Federal OCS from July 2012 to January 2013. My question is how long I would wait for BOLC, and how long BOLC usually lasts. I am anticipating entering into a PhD program by Fall 2013, is it possible I could have BOLC and any specialty schools (such as AA, Airborne, Sapper, etc) that I need wrapped up by then?

Who likes a time-lapse? How about the one where you see how Section 8 Chicago's home opener tifo was built? Thanks to YouTube user qskawars for this video:
Help buy the materials and other needs to continue to make Section 8 Chicago's tifo efforts among the best in MLS. Donate to the S8C tifo fund by clicking here.
We gave Fire forward Quincy Amarikwa free reign over our official Twitter account Thursday afternoon for an #AskQuincy session... Here were the results:
I've spent some time this week on Twitter pondering whether or not New York Red Bulls midfielder Tim Cahill would receive any additional suspension for a swing he took on reigning 2013 MLS MVP Mike Magee in the waning moments of Sunday's home opener.
The thoughts crossed my mind after seeing the two game suspension that Fire defender Lovel Palmer received the previous week for a foul that didn't look nearly as egregious as the one Cahill committed on Magee. My suspicions were only heightened when the play didn't make it into MLSsoccer.com's weekly "Instant Replay" feature earlier this week.
Watch it again below:
The MLS Disciplinary Committee decided Wednesday that the foul Cahill committed was only deserving of the yellow card that referee Drew Fischer showed to the Australian international and that no further disciplinary action would be necessary.
Admittedly I'm a homer and I'm sure there has at some point in the 19-year history of MLS there have been more egregious plays that have gone unpunished but it was hard not to feel like Lovel Palmer, who will be suspended again for Saturday's game at D.C. United, was the one losing out in this whole situation.
As I learned Wednesday night, clearly I should have just called on the services of young Keira Magee, who with the help of her father, quite plainly put the whole situation in perspective better than multiple tweets from the club's Team Writer ever could:
I can't believe it either Keira #cf97 #freePalmer https://t.co/gcUjuobrMT
— Mike Magee (@magee9) March 26, 2014
Anyways, it may be time to get the below hashtag some love on Twitter...
It's Opening Day on Sunday and I'm making my normal pre-game rounds at the Section 8 Chicago tailgate. As I parade through the gaggle of the club's most vocal supporters, I stop and welcome back familiar faces from Ultras Red Side, one of the bigger groups inside of Section 8.
As we chat about our hopes for the game and what kind of spirits are keeping us warm, one Antwon Galante reveals a fresh tattoo he had done the night before.
"I had it planned for a while now but I wanted to get it for the new season -- fresh ink and a fresh start for 2014," Galante told me by phone on Wednesday.
The new tattoo features a large Fire logo on his right wrist and above it, an illustration of "The Harlem End" where Section 8 Chicago is based in Toyota Park.
"Obviously I wanted to pay homage to the Fire but also pay tribute to Section 8 and The Harlem End," he said. "It's a special part of our stadium and it's been like a second home to me."
While the tattoo was still obviously raw (and a little painful for Antwon), I quickly took out my iPhone and threw it up on the @ChicagoFire Instagram account. Shortly after @MLS did a #regram of it and Antwon was famous in the #MLSInk world.
You come into work on Wednesday and see the whole #cf97Ink hashtag has started to be populated on Twitter by others that have made that life-long decision to have some type of Chicago Fire-related art adorn their body.

On Tuesday I wrote about Fire newbie Greg Cochrane filling in admirably for veteran left back Gonzalo Segares during his club debut in Sunday's 1-1 draw with New York. You can't always fit every good quote into a story so without just throwing them all away, I decided to include them here...
JC: How has getting time in the CONCACAF Champions League with LA Galaxy so early in your career helped you?
GC: When you're going down to other countries you're playing in hostile environments where the fans throw stuff at you. From that point of view, I also got to see a lot of different styles – Mexico, Costa Rica, El Salvador – every country has their own flavor and I was able to pick up a lot of different stuff from those games, try to get better and keep improving
JC: When Mike Magee joined the Fire last year, he said playing with the likes of Landon Donovan, Robbie Keane and David Beckham everyday gave him a certain confidence. Would you agree?
GC: Definitely. Training with those guys every day, Robbie and Landon and Omar Gonzalez are on national teams. They're the best in their countries and are top class players. You learn so much from them and so when you come to other teams, it gives you confidence to keep doing what you're doing.
JC: As a left back, who do you model your game after most?
GC: Right now my two favorites are Leighton Baines for Everton and Jordi Alba for Barcelona. They're not the biggest of guys and neither am I but when you see guys like that succeeding at the highest level, you know you can do it too. Jordi at Barcelona is busing all over the field and Baines is one of the best left foots in the world serving a ball. I try to emulate both of them.
JC: How difficult would you describe the past few weeks, joining a new team and having to move to a new city all while trying to earn your spot in the team?
GC: It's been a fun experience. I try to take eeverything and put it in a good light. It was nice that the Fire were coming out to LA the first week so I didn't have to rush to put anything into storage. It gave me a couple days to process the fact that I was traded and meet up with the team. Here, you're in the hotels and you don't have a permanent residence yet – that's part is frustrating. It's fun, I've enjoyed it so far – all the guys are real welcoming. It's good to feel welcomed right away – it makes you feel like you can play like yourself and be yourself.

How is it that Quincy Amarikwa doesn't have a neutral gear? What super power would he like to possess? Also, what exactly is #QuincyTime?
Answers to all these questions in Both Sides of the Badge, presented by Quaker:
Quincy Amarikwa has become somewhat of a statistical phenomenon in his time with the Chicago Fire.
Throughout his six seasons in MLS, Amarikwa has collected his paycheck in a super-sub role, bringing that extra bit of energy to go at defenders when his team is looking for a goal. Amarikwa has just 14 starts in 82 MLS appearances, nearly half of which (6) came with Toronto FC in 2012.
While he could always help generate some offense, Amarikwa's stat line wasn't anything too special during his first four MLS seasons, tallying four goals and four assists in 67 regular season games for San Jose, Colorado and Toronto FC between 2009-2012.
Flash forward to last year the way he earned his spot with the Fire. in a preseason friendly against San Jose in Santa Barbara, Calif. Amarikwa, who joined the team at their preseason training base earlier that day, ended up coming in for the final 15 minutes of a 0-0 deadlock.
Amarikwa made the most of his short time on the field, earning a penalty that was eventually converted by Jeff Larentowicz to give the team a 1-0 victory over the Quakes.
Those 15 minutes earned him a contract with the club and were the start of what has become dubbed as "Quincy Time", i.e., the short amount of time Amarikwa has to work with in order to produce offense.
This bore out over the course of last season when the veteran MLS forward racked up the best goals to minutes ratio in MLS, tallying three in just 299 minutes or .90 goals per 90 minutes.
With his goal in Sunday's 3-2 defeat at Chivas USA, his scoring rate with the Fire actually increased to 1.08 per 90 minutes. Meaning in theory, statistically, Amarikwa is good for at least a goal a game.
In 332 minutes with the Fire, Amarikwa has matched the goal total he racked up playing 1958 minutes over his previous four MLS seasons.
So what's the craziest part of all this?
He's never started a match for the Fire, making 15 MLS appearances in just over a year. After consulting the TrueCar Player Registry, aside from newbie Benji Joya, Amarikwa is the only player in club history to score a goal without having started an MLS match.
Furthermore, Amarikwa has never even played a full half for the Men in Red – the most minutes logged in one game has been 43, which came in the 4-1 destruction of D.C. United on July 20 last season. Even though he didn't score in that game, he did earn the penalty kick that Mike Magee converted for Fire goal number four.
He's also scored each of his last three appearances for the Fire, dating back to a 3-0 win last October at D.C. United.
Amarikwa has surely done well enough in his short minutes with the Fire to earn more playing time and perhaps even his first start. Surely it'll come at some point this season and when it does, his impressive goals to minutes ratio will inevitably drop.
Still, it's hard to argue against seeing more "Quincy Time".
WATCH: Quincy Amarikwa's body of work for the Chicago Fire
It's MATCHDAY and if you're anything like @ChicagoFire on Twitter, you woke up doing this, this morning:

Chicago Fire forward Quincy Amarikwa proved rather effective in what time he got on the field last year (he scored three goals in 299 minutes). In his time off of it, he also proved to be perhaps the top MLS player in the league's Fantasy Manager game.
With the start of the 2014 MLS season just two days away, he's presenting a challenge: #BeatQuincy at MLS Fantasy Manager... See below:

Type of Session: Scientific
The incidence and demographic distribution of Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL) and non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHL) vary throughout the world. The incidences are particularly high in North America, and cases of aggressive NHLs are on the rise in Europe and North America.
This study was initiated to describe the demographic distribution of lymphomas (HL and NHL) in Uruguay.
Materials and Methods
Author's Conclusions
Clinical/Scientific Implications
This is the first study specifically looking at a large population of NHL and HL patients in Uruguay. The authors report a great number of demographic and pathologic details to provide a better understanding of these entities based on geographic location. It is interesting to note that the characteristics of the endemic lymphoma patient population parallel the frequency and gender/age distribution in NHL and HL of European patients. The incidence and association of CHL with EBV is also more similar to Europe than to other South American countries, suggesting a possible link to emigration patterns.
Unfortunately, the cases associated with HIV were not separately analyzed in this study. As the population of HIV positive individuals increases, the impact on lymphoma demographics will be important to monitor.

The mission of the University of Washington's Master of Public Health in Community-Oriented Public Health Practice program is to prepare students to be problem solvers, advocates and leaders in community health. Combining an active style of learning, rigorous academic preparation and a commitment to social justice and community engagement, this two-year, full-time program equips graduates with the knowledge and skills to effectively address public health challenges.
The COPHP program is offered by the UW School of Public Health, one of the leading public health graduate schools in the country. In the most recent rankings by U.S. News and World Report, the school ranked sixth in the nation.
The COPHP program uses a student-centered approach to learning, known as problem-based learning. With the PBL method, you work in groups to research and analyze relevant public health case studies and then present what you've learned to the rest of the class.
This approach to learning cultivates the practical skills public health practitioners need, including the ability to work in teams, identify key public health issues and their contributing factors, recognize and deconstruct problems, and analyze and present information clearly and persuasively.
Earning your MPH in community-oriented public health practice gives you the ability to lead positive, productive and sustainable changes in community health. You learn to assess the health knowledge, assets and needs of specific communities and populations, identify and address social structures that create health disparities, and marshal resources and mobilize communities to implement successful public health programs.
The COPHP program uses fieldwork in the community to help students apply their coursework to real-world situations. During the first year, you complete a practicum, often at a local public health department, to develop effective skills in the field. In the second year, you select a community-based agency or organization where you complete a yearlong capstone project that allows you to apply your increasingly advanced public health competencies.
COPHP faculty and students are dedicated to making sure everyone has the opportunity to live healthy, productive lives. The program recognizes that health inequities are created by institutions and policies that deliver health resources based on socioeconomic status, race, ethnicity, gender and sexual orientation. Our mission is to work collaboratively with communities to address these barriers to improve health and well being for all.

This unique program builds on the principles of Paulo Freire, who said, 'Washing one's hands of the conflict between the powerful and the powerless means to side with the powerful, not to be neutral.' COPHP's success is measured in the extent to which our graduates go out into the world and solve real public health problems.

Anyone want to get together in the Texas, Oklahoma, or Arkansas area? I'll be in Dallas for the foreseeable future substitute teaching so I could probably arrange a long weekend pretty much any time. Ideas of where we could go would be1. Ouchita Mtns 2. Wichita Mtns3. Caprock Canyon State Park 4. Lone Star Trail Let me know if you're interested.
I'm interested.
Awesome, any strong preferences on when and where? For me "when" determines "where" to some extent. Some places are better when its cooler (Lone Star Trail for example).
Luke, I have no strong preferences. Of the four locations, I have been to the Ouachita Mtns and Caprock Canyon SP. The Ouachita Mountains are always nice, like Eagle Rock Loop even somewhere along the length of the Ouachita Trail.
Edited by jshann on 08/28/2012 17:22:20 MDT.
Friday evening to Sunday evenings work best for me. I figure September or October would be our best bet, August is hot and I need to finish getting settled in Texas.
I'd be interested -- add Hill Country State Natural Area and Lost Maples State Natural Area (both in Texas) to the list. The later in the year the better. Lone Star Trail would better in February...
I'd definitely be interested. Agree Ouachita's would be great, ERL would be great or a section of the OT. but I'm open to other venues... also agree on later....mid Oct at earliest I would think and even then could be pretty warm, nicer in Nov.....thru April...but I'm flexible.
Edited by leighb on 08/28/2012 18:13:30 MDT.
Thanks for all the reponses ya'll. Sounds like no one is ready to go right away, I'd say lets start think about dates in October/November (more hunters will be out in November). I have not particular plans then, I should be free most weekends. Spring would work for me too, I just hate to wait that long. If you guys have specific dates you can or can't come let me know.I'm thinking we should eliminate Caprock and the Wichita Mtns. they aren't close to anyone and that would be a long drive from SE Texas (its a decent drive from Dallas already). That leaves us with Lost Maples, Lone Star Trail and the Ouchita Mtns. I figure the Ouchitas would be better if we actually want to do so real hiking, more trails, more water etc. They aren't too long a drive for me but if you're in SE Texas that might be too much, let us know.
Take a look at backpackingarkansas.comThey have pretty good info on several hikes in Arkansas.Jim
Anytime after early October would be good for me. Open to any location...
[b][url=http://www.bosswatchesonline.com/]A. Lange & Sohne Watches[/url][/b][b][url=http://www.bosswatchesonline.com/]Armani Watches[/url][/b]
Make it west Texas and I'll definitely attend.
The opening day for deer season(excluding muzzleloader 10/20 and bow hunting 9/15) in zone 11 (majority of the Ouachita's) is 11/10. Maybe try for the first week of Nov.? I'd certainly be open to earlier,mid Oct would be ok too...I have a serious case of trail fever, now that school's cranked back up. It hasn't helped that the weather here has been unseasonably cool for August...not cool enough to hit the trail...just cool enough to get me thinking about it in earnest!Backpacking Arkansas members have our Fall Gathering the last full weekend of Oct (26-28) and I'm committed to that, but if the GGG is any other weekend I'd love to be there, where ever folks decide! Thanks for getting this going Luke!@Eugene,Maybe we could get some interest in folks doing one at Big Bend late fall/winter.
Edited by leighb on 08/29/2012 17:24:21 MDT.
I'm definitely in. I'm only 5 hours from the Ouachitas in OKC. There is a great loop southeast of Mena, AR. 26 miles, 5,000 ft. of elevation gain, and loads of scenery.http://www.ouachitamaps.com/Eagle%20Rock.htmlReally, though I'm up for whatever, and would love to meet some new BPL people!***oops John, didn't see your mention of Eagle Rock loop!
Edited by lschrock on 08/29/2012 16:21:22 MDT.
I'm 6 hours SW of OKC, so that only puts me 11 hours from the Ouichitas. Looks like I'll be watching where Eugene goes, although I'm pretty tired of hiking without water.
My concern with a trip to West Texas is that we'd lose a lot of people if we went there. Maybe other people in East Texas/Arkansas can weigh in on how that would affect there plans. If West Texas is too far for some folks maybe we could just do two separate trips? One in West Texas and one in Arkansas. Those of us in the middle could try to go on both.
Keep me updated guys, I've been researching Texas hikes, nothing new but I'm working on it. Until then I really won't have much to add to the discussion, just don't think I disappeared.I am still up for either an Arkansas Trip or a trip somewhere in Texas, maybe both. I'm hoping to be able to plan a few commitments out over the weekend so I can give more specific dates as to when I could be available. If anyone has any dates that will or won't work let me know.
Edited by Cameron on 08/29/2012 22:15:24 MDT.
A quick search doesn't reveal what GGG stands for, though context suggests a group outing.A combination of about 28 miles of ORV and foot trail is possible in the Kisatchie Ranger District in NW Louisiana.Note that extended drought in AR and OK may affect water availability and fire restrictions there.geoff
Edited by yipper on 08/29/2012 22:22:18 MDT.
Gear Geek Gathering I believe,Thanks for the info on Louisiana and a reminder of the drought.
I see GGG used on BPL and laugh a little each time, because the sex advice columnist Dan Savage advocates that people be "GGG" - good, giving and game while in bed.

Associated Press
NEWTOWN, Conn. (AP) - With security stepped up and families still on edge in Newtown, students began returning to school Tuesday for the first time since last week's massacre, bringing a return of familiar routines - at least, for some - to a grief-stricken town as it buries 20 of its children.
Two 6-year-old boys were laid to rest Monday in the first of a long, almost unbearable procession of funerals. A total of 26 people were killed at Sandy Hook Elementary in one of the worst mass shootings in U.S history.
Classes resume Tuesday for Newtown schools except those at Sandy Hook. At Newtown High School, students in sweatshirts and jackets, many wearing headphones, waved at or snapped photos of the assembled media horde on their way into the building. Reuniting with friends and getting back to school were welcome tasks, said one sophomore.
"It's definitely better than just sitting at home watching the news," said Tate Schwab, 15.
At home, his family, who moved to Newtown just last year, was distraught over the news. His mother cried over his 3-year-old sister, who would have eventually attended Sandy Hook, he said.
At school, he didn't expect to get much work done Tuesday but rather anticipated most of the day would be spent talking about the shooting.
"It really hasn't sunk in yet," he said. "It feels to me like it hasn't happened. It's really weird."
Some parents were likely to keep their children at home anyway. Local police and school officials have been discussing how and where to increase security, and state police said they would be on alert for threats and hoaxes.
"I'm not really concerned about my safety, but I don't really know," Schwab said.
Suzy DeYoung said her own 15-year-old son is going back to the high school.
"I think he wants to go back," she said. "If he told me he wants to stay home, I'd let him stay home. I think going back to a routine is a good idea; at least that's what I hear from professionals."
On Monday, Newtown held the first two funerals of many the picturesque New England community of 27,000 people will face over the next few days, just as other towns are getting ready for the holidays. At least one funeral is planned for a student - 6-year-old Jessica Rekos - as well as several wakes, including one for teacher Victoria Soto, who has been hailed as a hero for sacrificing herself to save several students.
Two funeral homes filled Monday with mourners for Noah Pozner and Jack Pinto, both 6 years old. A rabbi presided at Noah's service, and in keeping with Jewish tradition, the boy was laid to rest in a simple brown wooden casket with a Star of David on it.
"I will miss your perpetual smile, the twinkle in your dark blue eyes, framed by eyelashes that would be the envy of any lady in this room," Noah's mother, Veronique Pozner, said at the service, according to remarks the family provided to The Associated Press. Both services were closed to the news media.
"Most of all, I will miss your visions of your future," she said. "You wanted to be a doctor, a soldier, a taco factory manager. It was your favorite food, and no doubt you wanted to ensure that the world kept producing tacos."
She closed by saying: "Momma loves you, little man."
Noah's twin, Arielle, who was assigned to a different classroom, survived the killing frenzy.
At Jack Pinto's Christian service, hymns rang out from inside the funeral home, where the boy lay in an open casket. Jack was among the youngest members of a youth wrestling association in Newtown, and dozens of little boys turned up at the service in gray Newtown Wrestling T-shirts.
Jack was a fan of New York Giants wide receiver Victor Cruz and was laid to rest in a Cruz jersey.
Authorities say the man who killed the two boys and their classmates also shot his mother at their home and then took her car and some of her guns to the school, where he broke in and opened fire. A Connecticut official said the mother, a gun enthusiast who practiced at shooting ranges, was found dead in her pajamas in bed, shot four times in the head with a .22-caliber rifle.
The gunman was wearing all black, with an olive-drab utility vest with lots of pockets, during the attack.
As investigators worked to figure out what drove him to lash out with such fury - and why he singled out the school - federal agents said that he had fired guns at shooting ranges over the past several years but that there was no evidence he did so recently as practice for the rampage.
Debora Seifert, a spokeswoman for the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, said both the gunman and his mother fired at shooting ranges, and also visited ranges together.
"We do not have any indication at this time that the shooter engaged in shooting activities in the past six months," Seifert said.
Investigators have found no letters or diaries that could explain the attack.
Whatever his motives, normalcy will be slow in revisiting Newtown. Classes were canceled district-wide Monday, though other students in town were expected to return to class Tuesday.
Dan Capodicci, whose 10-year-old daughter attends the school at St. Rose of Lima Roman Catholic Church, said he thinks it's time for her to get back to classes.
"It's the right thing to do. You have to send your kids back. But at the same time I'm worried," he said. "We need to get back to normal."
Gina Wolfman said her daughters are going back to their seventh- and ninth-grade classrooms tomorrow. She thinks they are ready to be back with their friends.
"I think they want to be back with everyone and share," she said.
Newtown police Lt. George Sinko said whether to send children to school is a personal decision for every parent.
"I can't imagine what it must be like being a parent with a child that young, putting them on a school bus," Sinko said.
The district has made plans to send surviving Sandy Hook students to Chalk Hill, a former middle school in the neighboring town of Monroe. Sandy Hook desks that will fit the small students are being taken there, empty since town schools consolidated last year, and tradesmen are donating their services to get the school ready within a matter of days.
"These are innocent children that need to be put on the right path again," Monroe police Lt. Brian McCauley said.
With Sandy Hook Elementary still designated a crime scene, state police Lt. Paul Vance said it could be months before police turn the school back over to the district.

The resort of Flumserberg forms a terrace stretching from 1000 m to 1400 m above the Walensee and the valley town of Flums. The ski region reaches 2222 m. By the end of the 19th century, this area had already been discovered as a centre for whey cures and its unspoilt natural beauty inspired Johanna Spyri to write her Heidi stories more than a hundred years ago.
Today this is an excellent family-oriented resort.
This holiday region is also criss-crossed by a dense 150-km network of hiking and cycle paths. Also on offer are cycle tours of every level of difficulty; fishing in mountain streams/lake; and paragliding. The delightful six-hour "Seven Peaks Tour" is a perfectly safe ridge walk with magnificent panoramic views of more than 150 peaks in the St. Gallen, Grisons, Glarus and interior Swiss Alps.
The Walensee, with its many facilities for water sports, is just 20 minutes away by car. Anything is possible there, from diving to stand-up-paddling, canoeing, sailing and surfing.
The winter sports region of Flumserberg guarantees plenty of snow and is the biggest winter sports destination between Zurich and Chur with pistes of all levels of difficulty. For snowboarders there are fun parks and a half-pipe; and for cross country skiers the Prodalp has 18 km of cross-country trails. Children become familiar with snow sports in two children's parks. Cosy mountain snack bars ensure a variety of culinary delights.
Those who want to discover something new can get an introduction to the world of sled dogs in Flumserberg. From the harnessing and unharnessing of this breed of Husky dogs, through to professional guidance and silent rides as you glide through the snowy winter landscape. An unforgettable experience for dog lovers, nicely rounded up with warming mulled wine.

The New York State Zoo at Thompson Park has lost two longtime members of its family: Fleur, a female American black bear, and Boo, a female mountain lion.
In a news release, the zoo said the 11-year-old mountain lion was found unresponsive in the holding area of her exhibit Friday morning. A necropsy performed at the North Country Animal Health Center revealed that Boo most likely died of a heart attack.
Results indicated a large amount of fat in the heart which caused an obstruction leading to a fatal heart attack. Samples of lung and liver have been sent out for pathology results, zoo spokesman Kurt Hunt said in the release.
A decadelong resident, Boo had joined the zoo in 2002 from Montana Fish and Wildlife Rehabilitation Center.
Mountain lions which go by many other names including pumas, cougars, catamounts, mountain cats and panthers are found throughout the U.S., southern Canada and Central and South America and have an average lifespan of 13 years, according to the zoo.
Mr. Hunt said the black bear Fleur, a founding resident who moved in nearly two decades ago, had been euthanized Thursday. She had been suffering from deteriorating health and a recent blood test indicated she was experiencing kidney failure.
Fleur made a memorable debut in 1994 when she escaped from her enclosure after being startled by the large crowd in attendance at the opening of the Zoos bear exhibit. Though quickly recovered, Fleur had swiftly demonstrated the craftiness and intelligence her species is known for, Mr. Hunt said.
She came to the Thompson Park zoo as a cub along with Roswell, a male black bear, from the West Virginia State Wildlife Center, and was a favorite among zoo staff and visitors, he said.
American black bears which are found throughout Canada and in parts of the United States and Mexico have a lifespan of 18 years in the wild, according to the zoo.
Based on the necropsy results, veterinarians attending to the animals do not believe that there is any correlation between the bear death and the mountain lion death, Mr. Hunt said, adding that visitors are welcome to share photos of Fleur and Boo on the zoos Facebook page, www.facebook.com/NYSZoo.

WATERTOWN - The New York Air National Guard and other responders could not find a downed MQ-9 Reaper drone Wednesday, one day after it crashed into Lake Ontario.
The 174th Attack Wing, Syracuse, which operated the drones, asked the Air Force to support its search.
The drone crashed at about 1 p.m. Tuesday, about 12 miles from the lakes eastern shore and 35 miles from Fort Drums Wheeler-Sack Army Airfield, where it took off.
An U.S. Coast Guard helicopter and vessel looked for the aircraft Tuesday afternoon, but that search was called off because of bad weather. The Coast Guard did not search for the aircraft Wednesday.
The cause of the crash remains under review. The unit said in a news release Wednesday evening that it will continue to compile information to assist investigators, and that it could take more than a month to complete.
Among the assets that the unit asked the Air Force to send was a HC-130 search aircraft. Two upstate New York guard units fly versions of the aircraft but it wasnt immediately known if any of their aircraft would conduct the search.
The $4 million to $5 million drone crashed while traveling in approved airspace during a routine training exercise after taking off from Fort Drums airfield. It had no weapons or hazardous materials on board. The aircraft has a wingspan of 66 feet and weighs approximately 8,000 to 10,500 pounds.
As the search continues, training operations remain suspended for the wings Reapers until the unit feels it is safe for them to resume.
The unit has operated from the Fort Drum airfield since Oct. 2011, and last month marked its 2,000 flight hour with its Reapers from the airfield.

use coupon code "amen" at checkout, good through 8/24
Thanks for the heads up on Campsaver, wasn't familiar with them, but I put them on my favorites list. I like the free shipping on items over $50 and I won't have to pay the 7.75% California state sales tax as long as they don't operate from California. Their sale includes some items that lightweight hikers might be interested in such as the Seedhouse 1 tent and various Montbell products like the Thermawrap jacket. Sizing is always a problem with mail order though, so I just wanted to mention that the Montbell jackets run small. Last spring I bought a Thermawrap and had to get extra large even though I am only 6ft 1 inch, 200 lbs. with a 34 inch waist. By comparison, a Patagonia Houdini large fits me perfectly so apparently a Montbell extra large equals a Patagonia large, at least with those two products. Thanks again!
[quote] I like the free shipping on items over $50 and I won't have to pay the 7.75% California state sales tax as long as they don't operate from California.[/quote]By Federal Law you are supposed to pay sales tax at the end of the year on all purchases that do not directly charge you on the sale, aka income tax time. You might as well pay the sales tax upfront rather than taking a chance of getting busted or audited by the IRS for ignoring the sales tax. We started tracking all internet sales that did not charge us sales tax at the first of last year, so we can pay up at tax time...AC
Where did you hear that? Sales tax is paid at the state level and only some states enforce collection of tax on internet/mail order purchases according to Nolo.http://www.nolo.com/article.cfm/objectID/87F6DD43-E6F2-4DFE-BCDB8E2E85DFF80B/111/277/167/ART/
Edited by simplespirit on 08/21/2007 09:24:50 MDT.
Some states tell you have to pay "Use Tax" on items that you don't pay sales tax on. Washington State does this.....but lets also put it this way: unless you are a business owner and read tax laws, you'd never know this! It is not anywhere else! So for the average citizen who goes over to Oregon and buys a computer (tax free) or buys shoes from LLBean online, they haven't a clue they are supposed to remit to the state that tax. I had never heard of the tax till a while back when I was redoing one of business licenses and started reading the buried laws. Ya thinks they would make a bigger deal of it?Anyhoo, in Wa state tax is charged to you if the company has a location here. So for say Amazon.com we get charged.There are all sorts of laws passed by the local gov'ts concerning Use Taxes, and you can bet that almost no citizens know about them!
Yeah, that's what I gathered from the Nolo site Sarah. It's on paper but barely enforced and there's little if any education on it.
Most businesses have a larger exposure to use tax audit adjustment than income tax.Individuals have the same requirement to pay use tax, but no requirement to maintain records.
The Federal Government couldn't care less whether you pay your state sales taxes! Sales tax is levied at state and local levels, and is therefore completely up to each individual state. And of course, states differ widely in rules and rates.Here in California, most goods purchased within the state are taxed. Goods purchased outside of the state but used/consumed in California are liable for used tax.Businesses in California get audited for sales and use taxes quite regularly -- yet another cost of doing business -- which only serves to drive more and more of them out of state. As for individual consumers, I don't think I've ever encountered anyone being hounded to pay use tax. Not saying never, but it is extremely rare.
Edited by ben2world on 08/21/2007 11:07:01 MDT.
Colorado enforced the use tax against some individuals as the result of a business audit. A jeweler sold items and mailed empty boxes out of state. The shipping record was to prove out of state delivery.
