I generally write about politics which is a pretty easy gig if you want to know the truth, because you don't really have to know anything so long as you have an opinion. Every once in a while, though, I feel moved to write about something of real social significance, something people care about.
Unfortunately I can't stand pro football so I have to make do with baseball, which is something people used to care about.
It looks increasingly as though there is going to be a strike by Major League baseball players, probably before the end of the season, making it problematic that we'll have a World Series.
There was a time when news like that would have brought a collective national sob, but now it's more of a yawn. The once majestic national pastime has been brought to its knees by a combination of greed and stupidity that rivals that of ancient Babylon.
I blame the fans. We sat there passively while the yokels in charge completely screwed up the game. When they began putting artificial turf in outdoor stadiums we should have stood up and yelled. When the American League dreamed up the designated hitter, we should have stormed the barricades and demanded a return to sanity. When they started allowing National and American League teams to play each other during the season, thus cheapening the World Series and rendering the All-Star game an absurdity, we should have kidnapped baseball owners and held them hostage.
Having done none of that, we reap what we sowed. The egomaniacs who run and play baseball think they own the game and can play with it exclusively for their own amusement.
It is important to note that none of the things I talked about will be addressed by the coming strike. The owners are interested only in making sure that even the most inept among them will be able to turn a profit as they run their teams into the ground and the players are interested mainly in insuring that they will continue to be overpaid without regard to performance.
I don't know about you, but I do not have a dog in that fight. Either way, you still get the designated hitter. Let the strike begin, or not. I couldn't care less.
Golf is a sport that strangely enough, some people care about. Tiger Woods suffered a seemingly inexplicable meltdown at the British Open last month. I can explick it.
The tournament was played at a private club in Scotland that does not admit women as members. Some feminist-minded commentators complained about the policy and suggested that if prominent golfers like Woods boycotted the event, they could be instruments of change. Woods said something to the effect that it wasn't any concern of his.
A few days later when he walked out onto the course the skies opened, the wind began to howl and he played like a complete dog. The weather was bad; he was worse. He shot an 81, the highest he'd ever scored as a professional.
I can't prove this, but I'll bet that if one rummaged around Gloria Steinheim's closet, they would find a Tiger Woods doll with pins sticking out of it. Coincidence? I don't think so.
Religion which, while not actually a sport, is more exciting than soccer. Much of the country is being visited by a drought of Biblical proportions, one that parches the crops and sends forests up in flames. Have you noticed which states are hardest hit? Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, Montana, Wyoming, Nebraska, and Kansas.
And what do these states have in common? They all voted for George W. Bush in the 2000 election.
Which brings us to the question, does this prove there is a God? The answer being, no, but it points in that direction.

PORTLAND, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- The ACLU of Maine is asking for the Justice Department to step in and prevent Maine Republican Party Chair Charlie Webster from sending out postcards to newly registered voters in some rural Maine towns.
Webster caused a stir November 13 when he told NEWS CENTER's Don Carrigan,"In some parts of the state, for example in some parts of rural Maine, there were dozens of black people who came and voted election day. Everybody has a right to vote. But nobody in town knows anybody who's black. How did it happen, we're going to find out."
Two days later, Webster said he planned to mail out a thousand post cards at his own expense to newly registered voters in unnamed rural towns to see whether any come back as undeliverable.
In their letter to the Justice Department, the ACLU of Maine and the Brennan Center for Justice write that the sending of postcards should be considered "harassment" and a violation of the National Voter Registration Act, particularly because Webster cited the race of the voters as a possible red flag. They're asking the Justice Department to investigate Webster's intentions and stop him from sending any postcards.
The ACLU's Zach Heiden said, "We're concerned about his future plans, not his speech. He says he plans to investigate in a harassing way a number of newly registered voters, including African-American voters. That's clearly not allowed under civil rights laws."
Webster said he did not understand why the ACLU would pursue the issue. "Unless I did something what would be the complaint?" Webster said.
When asked whether he still planned to send the postcards he said, "I have no idea. It's an old story. I don't know why they're pursuing it."
The Republican Party is scheduled to elect a new state chair Saturday.

7 U.S. Code § 2101 - Congressional declaration of policy
prev | next
Cotton is the basic natural fiber of the Nation. It is produced by many individual cottongrowers throughout the various cotton-producing States of the Nation and also outside the United States. Cotton moves in the channels of interstate and foreign commerce and such cotton which does not move in such channels directly burdens or affects interstate commerce in cotton and cotton products. The efficient production of cotton and the maintenance and expansion of existing markets and the development of new or improved markets and uses is vital to the welfare of cottongrowers and those concerned with marketing, using, and processing cotton as well as the general economy of the Nation. The great inroads on the market and uses for cotton which have been made by manmade fibers have been largely the result of extensive research and promotion which have not been effectively matched by cotton research and promotion. The production and marketing of cotton by numerous individual farmers have prevented the development and carrying out of adequate and coordinated programs of research and promotion necessary to the maintenance and improvement of the competitive position of, and markets for, cotton. Without an effective and coordinated method for assuring cooperative and collective action in providing for, and financing such programs, individual cotton farmers are unable adequately to provide or obtain the research and promotion necessary to maintain and improve markets for cotton.
It has long been found to be in the public interest to have, or endeavor to have, a reasonable balance between the supply of and demand for cotton grown in this country. To serve this public interest the Congress has provided for the comprehensive exercise of regulatory authority in regulating the handling of such cotton supplemented by price-support programs with the objective of adjusting supply to demand in the interest of benefiting producers and all others concerned with the production and handling of cotton as well as the general economy of the country. In order for the objective of such programs to be effectuated to the fullest degree, it is necessary that the existing regulation of marketing be supplemented by providing as part of the overall governmental program for effectuating this objective, means of increasing the demand for cotton with the view of eventually reducing or eliminating the need for limiting marketings and supporting the price of cotton.
It is therefore declared to be the policy of the Congress and the purpose of this chapter that it is essential in the public interest through the exercise of the powers provided herein, to authorize and enable the establishment of an orderly procedure for the development, financing through adequate assessments on all cotton marketed in the United States and on imports of cotton, and carrying out an effective and continuous coordinated program of research and promotion designed to strengthen cotton's competitive position and to maintain and expand domestic and foreign markets and uses for United States cotton.

Calif. wants Arizona immigration law overturned
Web Producer: Adriana Desiderio
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - California has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn Arizona's tough immigration law, saying it would drive illegal immigrants into other states.
The Arizona law passed two years ago has been largely blocked by court order because of court challenges. Among other things, it makes in a crime to be in the country illegally and to seek work.
The U.S. Supreme Court has scheduled an April 25 hearing and a ruling is expected in June.
The San Francisco Chronicle (http://bit.ly/Hl9eMf) says California Attorney General Kamala Harris has joined 10 other states in asking that the Arizona law be overturned.
Harris says in documents filed Tuesday that the law exceeds state authority, conflicts with national policy and would drive illegal immigrants into other states.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (WUSA) -- The Kennedy Center is filled with the music and dance of the San Francisco Ballet this week, as the company presents the tragic love story of Romeo and Juliet.
Kennedy Center President Michael Kaiser has a story of love and generosity of his own to to tell. It involves his sister Susan, whose childhood in the 1960's was interrupted by type 1 diabetes. She was diagnosed at age 10, at a time when controlling the disease was not nearly as well understood as it is today.
"Now, young people are much more controlled about their blood sugar levels than they were back then," Kaiser says. "She had suffered from all of the side effects many young people with diabetes get, heart attack, stroke, kidney failure."
By her thirties, Susan was on peritoneal dialysis, a type of dialysis that is done daily at home. After a debilitating stroke, her family began exploring the possibility of a transplant from a living donor.
Her brother turned out to be a strong match, and he says giving that kidney to Susan was an easy decision that still makes him smile today.
Kaiser says, "It was March 30th of 1988, and it was an amazing day. She felt better in the recovery room. She was sitting up and smiling. She said for the first time in years, her blood was being cleaned and she felt healthy."
Susan went on to found a pre-school for disadvantaged children and lead a full and vibrant life for two more decades, until her body finally succumbed to the ravages of diabetes in 2009.
Kaiser says, "She had 22 more years, which was really a miracle. For those 22 years, she worked and played golf, she ran her school and enjoyed her friends. She had a regular life for those 22 years, which she would not have had without kidney donation."
Kaiser himself is active and healthy to this day, and encourages more people to strongly consider donation.
He says, "Doing kidney transplants is something we need to think about, not as a great sacrifice, but as an honor and a fun project. It was great."
Michael Kaiser will be honored this Saturday at the National Kidney Foundation's Kidney Ball, which raises money for research and patients services, greatly needed in our region. The Washington D.C. area has the highest prevalence of kidney disease in the nation, with more than 700,000 people affected, nearly 6,000 on dialysis, and more than 1,500 waiting for a transplant.

Liar Liar Pants on Fire
By Ann Fenech, on 14 June 2010
What is this that I am hearing? Two teams, Decay and Dense (decay-dense…decaydense…decadence?…A laugh? Anyone?) battling it out against each other…to declare a winner the best liar of them all?
Call my scientific bluff was the name of one of the last events I watched at the festival. The team Decay was led by Timandra Harkness, while Dense was led by the festival director, and UCL's own Mark Lythgoe. Decay was completed by Robin Ince and Robert Winston while Mark Lythgoe was joined by Sarah J. Arney, and one of my favourite entertainers from this festival, Quentin Cooper.
For all of you out there who do not know the concept of the show, it involves one scientific term, three definitions, but who's bluffing and who's telling the truth?
The terms ran the whole gamut from ekistics to pledget, linkboys to climactery. I didn't know what any of them meant…and it seemed like neither did any of the contestants.
Winning was just plain guesswork, but one team did come out victorious. Guessing pledget, espyne, and parison, and bluffing on tegestologist and ekistics, Dense proved their name wrong, and decimated what was left of Decay.
An entertaining show hosted by Marcus Moore. Whoever said scientists don't lie?

New wildfire sparks near Naches; complex fires burn on
NEAR NACHES, Wash. -- A campground outside Naches became the latest bullseye of a fast-moving wildfire. Crews managed to save the Wonderland Campground. No one was hurt thanks to a quick response by firefighters.
Nearly a dozen different fire crews set up camp Monday when a fast-moving fire broke out. Even contracted crews working the nearby Yakima Complex fires showed up to help.
Firefighters worked for hours to put out the 30-acre fire.
People living at the Wonderland Campground couldn't do much but watch the flames take over.
"I was waking up to get ready for work and I heard all the sirens," neighbor Janelle Birge said.
"Pretty scary," Wonderland Campground manager Jerry Clayton said. "We were panicking."
Jerry Clayton manages the campground. He was the first to see the flames. Based on the direction of the fire, his house would have been first to go.
"What they're doing is clearing the brush, limbs and stuff to make sure the fire doesn't get out," Clayton said.
Several crews worked to cut away brush and debris that easily catches fire. They tell us a barrier like this one is needed to gain total control. But with high winds in the forecast neighbors hope it's enough.
"It was starting to get a little spooky," Frank said. "A water hose doesn't do much in a fire like this."
Still neighbors at the campground did what they could. But the now-blackened landscape changes the rustic appeal. They're thankful to have a getaway to get back to.
Crews will have to monitor the fire overnight to make sure it doesn't flare up. There is still no word yet on how it started. There were no injuries or homes lost.
Governor Chris Gregoire extended a burn ban for all counties east of the Cascades through Sunday.
Progress on complex wildfires
Firefighters are continuing to make progress on central Washington's two largest wildfires.
Fire officials report the 24-square-mile Cascade Creek Fire on the southwest slopes of Mount Adams is about 55 percent contained.
The 61-square-mile Table Mountain Fire in Kittitas County was about 55 percent contained as of Sunday morning. Fire officials say both mop-up and containment efforts are going well. And more than 1,300 people are still working on that fire.
Weather and fire officials say smoke in the Yakima area was pushed away by winds this weekend but it is expected to settle back in by Monday as the winds die down.
Both fires started in a lightning storm in early September.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

"It's a yearly tradition, said Jon Teske, principal at the school, "but it's the first year for the handbells." The bells were purchased last year with money given to the school by the Mardy Fish Foundation. The students had been practicing twice a week since last school year in preparation for the show.

Once again MF has veered off into the tight zone an declared PM greates ever, but this time he had to take a big gulp before it could come out of his mouth
Sanders and Ervin would not let it pas, and said he may not even best of his era, that his career isn't over and his playoff record wasn't so hot
they didn't mention that his record against TB and the Pats sux, and his record ib clod weather sux, or that he has has had higher quality wrs, or that his stats are inflated by playing in doors. Otr that TB has a stronger arm
First I want the pats to win another sb soon, second I want it to stick in the haters craw and then I want MF to have to eat it that his boy isn't the greatest. lastly have you noticed all of the Pat haters on espn and nflnet all come from AFC teams. the NFC players like the pats more
MF being PMs buddy from indie and his ram bitterness
So tell us how you really feel. BTW - Peyton Manning - Greatest QB of his era and all time.
Too bad he's such a loser in the playoffs.

Built for Skiers. The Atomic Skiwear Lookbook 14/15.
A role model and a modern freeskiing pioneer, Michelle Parker is now shredding the mountains on Atomic skis. Incredibly excited to welcome Michelle to the family, Atomic will be the perfect compliment to her unmatched positive attitude and backcountry prowess.
The name Michelle Parker is recognized and respected throughout the ski industry and greater action sports community. Not only did she redefine women's park skiing early in her career, Michelle was also one of the first women to incorporate park tricks in the backcountry. She recently signed with ATOMIC for skis, boots and bindings and dedicated this season to pushing the sport and herself further while creating a film segment with Matchstick Productions. It is her first time filming with MSP so keep a look out for Michelle in MSP's 20th anniversary film due out this fall. VERSATILITY AND DEDICATION There are not many female freeskiers that could claim to be as well rounded as Michelle Parker. Growing up racing gave her great overall skiing technique, however she soon ditched the spandex in favor of the park and powder, turning pro at the ripe young age of fifteen. Her fierce work ethic was soon rewarded with multiple podiums at the US Open, culminating with the Gold medal in slopestyle at the Aspen Open in 2009. Her focus then moved towards filming and the backcountry, filming with likes of Shane McConkey and completing a guiding course in Haines, Alaska. Her incredible work ethic and well-rounded skiing makes her the perfect addition to the ATOMIC family and she is just as stoked as ATOMIC. "I really look up to Chris Benchetler and all of the ATOMIC athletes in terms of their riding and their character, so I am really excited to be involved." A PERFECT MATCH The California native plans to continue filming with MSP next year along with fellow ATOMIC athlete Richard Permin. She has spent most of this year filming with Richie in Alaska and British Columbia skiing on the all new ATOMIC Millennium, the women's specific high performance powder ski. When venturing further in the backcountry Michelle has also been using the new ATOMIC Tracker 16 touring binding. "I have been really impressed with all the ATOMIC products that I have used" said Michelle "It's an exciting new direction for me and the change is nothing but positive". Welcome to the family Michelle, ATOMIC is just as excited to have you on board.

Go big, fall big, and keep shredding with the Manchester.
While weaving through traffic on a skateboard, you don't want to question the grippiness of your shoes. That's why smart skaters put on the Lakai Manchester Select Skate Shoe before they shred. This flexible low-top features a vulcanized construction to keep the gum-rubber sole in one piece while you kick your board around town. With the form-fitting, durable suede and leather upper and shock-absorbing insole, you can go big in the park with more board control and more cushioning when you come down hard.

Heber and Park City skate trip: Total Success due to Manchester Select
Lakai, we salute you
These are some of THE BEST shoes I've ever had to skate, bar none. Who doesn't want to look sick as hell while they skate?? They do get a little rough love from your griptape, but still work perfectly. The comfort level of the Manchester is also approximately 110%, making it a no-freaking-brainer. GET THIS SHOE.
best for skating, not for durability
these are some of the best skate shoes ever. they are super comfy, have a really grippy sole, a great shape, and the laces are perfectly placed for minimal wear. On the down side, the olly spot will get worn out super fast, and your shoes will be trashed after about a month of hard skating.
Excellent Shoe. Best I've ever skated.
This is my fourth pair of Manchester selects. I've also had Howard selects in the past which are amazing as well. These look and feel great though. They are by far the most comfortable and most durable shoes I've ever skated. They look sick as well.
- Ollie spot is always the first to wear out for me
- The laces are in a good position so they don't break immediately
- The soles hold together amazingly well. I've never even come close to wearing through the bottom or sides.
(also beware of the canvas color. They look awesome, but show dirt very easily.)
these are by far the comfy(est) shoes i have ever skated in! its like being on a freaking cloud! i love it. highly recommend. The soles also hold up really well! :) definetly grabbin another pair of these
Makin' skaters out of soccer fan
Dy-no-mite! The cleanest looking skate shoe that has every graced my foot is actually a tribute to holligan-ism. And since soccer fans and skaters are criminals by nature, I can see entire stadiums of fans celebrating with gangs of skaters ... all sporting the Lakai Manchester. I picked up a pair of the light blue suede (because I never got to see Elvis gyrate) and choose not to skate in them due to the fact they look too damn good.
Amazing Skate Shoes
These are pretty much the best skate shoes I have ever owned! I love skating these because they have great grip, traction, good styling, durable, vulcanized, and sexy! I love how low they are because they will end up looking good with your jeans instead of hoping your jeans will look good with your high tops. Some of the best shoes on the market and by far the best skatable shoes.

I have had my Grey and white ones for a year now, the suede is kinda faded and off but other than that they are still as comfy as the firstday I got them
These shoes are tight. While it's true that they don't give the best board feel, it definitely wasn't worse than other shoes I've had. Plus they look sick. I'm talking like make your grandma jealous sick. And you can't argue with the price.
Lakai manchester select
Favorite skate shoe of all time.the shoe has great support,weight and style. This shoe holds up alot longer than your average skate shoe.
got the blue suede and they are one of the sickest pairs i've ever had. got compliments from the lady folk first day. buy a 1/2 size bigger and you're golden.
Tough yet comfy
These shoes skate very nice, and don't wear through the rubber as fast as vans do. l like
Best of the best
These selects are 100% my favorite shoe. They are extremely comfortable, very stylish, and a good skate shoe. I have 4 different colors, no shoe can compete
lakai and die
I personally dont like this shoe. It wears down fast its kinda bulky for the thinness and the toe cap is kinda square. For the little board feel it doesnt cushion well. had them for two weeks and trashed em so definitly wont buy these again
Lakai Manchester Selects
These shoes are super kush and comfy with gratuitous amounts of padding where you need it most. The guys over at Lakai def know how to make a good looking versatile skate shoe. I use mine for longboarding and they're perfect in that regard, however, I know people that skate in them and they get shredded pretty quick, but hey, you can't expect much from a completley suede shoe. The sizing on these seems to run about a half size larger than usual so when ordering I'd keep that in mind. I ordered a 10.5 and they're leanin more towards an 11. All in all a gnarly shoe with some sick colorways, comfy fit, and superb versatility.
sickest shoes around
only one thing to say: LAKAI is the sh@%. Get yours and I promise you wont be disappointed. Better yet get them from dogfunk. sweet
great all around, but not too durable
I love these shoes, I have 3 pairs already. They're great to skate with and also look great if you save a pair just for streetwear. Super comfortable, and the kind of padding you expect from a vulc skate shoe.
The only problem is that the suede doesn't last too long, especially with new griptape. I got about 3 or 4 weeks of skating out of them before they wore all the way down to my socks. Luckily they're cheap so it's not a huge deal.
Definitely worth the buy at this price.
these shoes are awsome .I recomend them for beginners and pros.They're high enough so they don't interfer with your ankles.(at least for burgundy suede) the blue lakai logo is leather. Check 'em out!

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Investors are eager to hear what Mark Zuckerberg and company are up to at Facebook Inc., driving up the social network's shares to their highest level in nearly six months.
Facebook FB, -0.08% sent out media invitations late Tuesday for a Jan. 15 event at the company's headquarters in Menlo Park, Calif. That has sparked speculation that the social network is about to unveil a major product announcement.
The buzz spread to Wall Street on Wednesday, where Facebook shares jumped 5.3% to close at $30.59. The stock passed the $30 mark for the first time since July last year — when the stock was in rapid descent following what was considered to be a disappointing IPO at $38 a share.
Some analysts are betting that the Facebook's announcement has something to do with two key areas: online ads and mobile.
Back to 1987
for stocks?
Our Trading Deck has been home to a spirited debate over whether we're in for a crash.
• L.A. Little: Don't worry | Michael Gayed: Worry
• The warning signs of a 1987-style crash
• Hulbert: Stocks as overvalued as at 2007 high
The company has rolled out a series of new online-advertising services, including its new Facebook Exchange, as well as changes to the way it displays and promotes posts and sponsored ads.
"They are all about monetization, so [Facebook] will probably talk about promoted offers, which I've seen a lot of lately," Wedbush analyst Michael Pachter told MarketWatch. "But it could be yet another new product."
Analysts have speculated that Facebook may surprise the tech world by venturing into new frontiers. Here are four possibilities that have been mentioned, and what some industry watchers think:
A smartphone
The company could build its own smartphone, but many analysts think that is a long shot. "I'm skeptical they will ever bring a phone to market," Tim Bajarin of Creative Strategies told MarketWatch, while Roger Kay of Endpoint Technologies Associates said "a phone seems odd."
Analysts speculate on Facebook
What will Facebook announce on Jan. 15? Whatever it is, investors are driving up the company stock ahead of the news, Ben Pimentel reports on digits.
But Crawford Del Prete of IDC gives a Facebook phone a 65% probability, noting that the company may "want to control more of the experience in the mobile environment" and take on Android — rival Google Inc.'s GOOG, +0.82% popular mobile platform. Such a move could "create a better Facebook experience," Del Prete added.
Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg largely has dismissed the idea of a "Facebook phone" in public comments. In the company's second-quarter earnings call on July 26, he said the company is better off supporting all of the mobile ecosystems and having a presence on an array of smartphone devices: "There are lots of things that you can build in other operating systems as well that aren't really like building out a whole phone, which I think wouldn't really make much sense for us to do."
A search engine
Bajarin thinks this effort is more likely, saying "creating a search engine tied to the Facebook community would add great value to Facebook users."

The rules and etiquette of the slopes have evolved over the years into something officially known as Your Responsibility Code.

We could tell you the details behind this photograph - the skier, Jamie Burge, is sizing up a 1,200-foot run above Prince William Sound in Cordova, Alaska, where she was dropped from a helicopter piloted by Points North Heli-Adventures - but you're not even reading this caption, are you? What if we tell you PNH is offering "ski cruises" - heli trips run from the deck of an 85-foot boat - up and down the Alaskan coastline? You're still staring, aren't you? Ski porn has that effect.

Same in Columbia, though I do give all respect to the Occupiers for their persistence and idealism. It's actually reasonably impressive just that the city and state police are afraid enough of bad press to even think about trying to remove them from the statehouse grounds.

MORRISTOWN – Three seats on the board of education are contested this year with four people seeking election.
Current Vice President of the Board W. Darrell Merkel and Board Member Mary Anne Bailey are seeking reelection with Mark Blanchard and Larry Kring running as well.
Mr. Merkel, whose five-year term is up this year, said his love of education is the reason for his desire to continue to serving even though its a tough time for small schools.
A 38-year veteran of schools in New Jersey, where he served as a teacher and administrator, Mr. Merkel said, I believe in education and this is my time to give back.
Mr. Merkel has served as the boards vice president for the past three years and says hes enjoyed being in that position.
Besides serving on the board, Mr. Merkel also works with students at Morristown in the Rocket Readers afterschool program.
I do that at the grassroots level and on the board I hope to better the entire school, he said.
Ms. Bailey is also seeking reelection.
A high school teacher at Carthage Central School and a resident of Morristown, Ms. Bailey said she brings four important perspectives to the board.
The first is as a parent of a 10th grader in the district. Shes also a tax payer in the district and says keeping taxes at a reasonable level is a high priority for her.
As an educator and board of educator Ms. Bailey believes she is bringing perspectives that others might not have.
Recognizing that its a challenging time for small schools Ms. Bailey said, We need to be looking at the things we can change.
Specifically she said there are good opportunities that exist to be part of this regional high school or maintain what we have and bring more programs. Its important to be proactive and not get bogged down by things we cant change.
A graduate of SUNY Canton and SUNY Potsdam, Ms. Bailey was a summer resident of Morristown before moving to the town permanently after high school.
The board has very simple requirements. You have to live in the district and you have to be able to read and write. I can at least be able to make an informed decision, she said.
Mrs. Bailey was elected to a one-year term last year.
Mr. Blanchard is no stranger to the district either. Currently a high school teacher a co-president of the Morristown Teachers Association, Mr. is retiring this year and sees the board as a way for him to stay connected to the district.
Originally from Tupper Lake, Mr. Blanchard has been a teacher in Morristown for roughly 40 years. I feel Ive got a lot of things I can bring to the table, having worked here a lot of years, he said.
As co-president of the teachers association, a position hes held for the past eight years, Mr. Blanchard said, Ive negotiated contracts so I have knowledge and experience in those areas. Obviously I have a perspective from one side and I will learn and see the other side if I get elected.
His time with the teachers association has also allowed him to develop a working relationship with the board and administration. Weve had a good relationship with them. I dont think weve have anything adversarial there, he said.
Another aspect he would focus on if elect is the presentation of the district in the public sphere.
Mr. Blanchard said he hopes to create a more positive image in our school. We seem to get beat up quite a bit in the media. I think some of that is misinformation. Weve done a lot of good things here and they seem to get kind of overlooked.
The final candidate for the board of education is Larry Kring, the husband of current board member Jane A. Kring who has opted not to run for reelection.
A Morristown native, Mr. Kring works at Claxton Hepburn Medical Center as a physician and has two children in the district with a third who is approaching school age.
I want a solid educational foundation for them, Mr. Kring said.
But he isnt walking in without an understanding of the difficulties facing the district. Besides his wife, Mr. Krings mother, Melanie Kring, served on the board, giving him an appreciation for what it takes to be on the board.
I know its a tenuous time for the school district in terms of funding, Mr. Kring said. I think the budget is probably the biggest limitation for schools. It trickles down to a difficulty in giving a good education to students. Its important to stretch the money as far as it will go.
So far Mr. Kring has been Talking with people in the community and trying to get a feel for where people are at.
With all the tough decisions facing the board in the coming years, including possible regionalization, Mr. Kring said, Certainly thinking outside of the box is what were going to need.
Voting will be held in the main lobby of the school from noon to 9 p.m. Tuesday.

In keeping with a tradition dating back many, many years, Helper's Italian-American lodge, Stella D'America, has scheduled the annual Columbus Day dinner this Sunday, Oct.11. The event will take place in the Helper civic auditorium Sunday afternoon.
Stella D'America, which translates to Star of America, is one of the oldest fraternal organizations in the state of Utah. Organized in Castle Gate in 1898 by immigrant coal miners as a mutual aid and social outlet, the lodge was transferred to Helper in 1902 as a result of a miner's strike at that time.
The Helper lodge is an affiliate of the Columbian Federation of Italian-American Societies. The federation was founded in Chicago, Ill. on Columbus Day, 1893 and counts member lodges throughout the United States.
A delegation from Salt Lake City's Italian-American Civic League promises to be in attendance at the Sunday event to plan a joint effort to secure the passage by the Utah State legislature of a resolution designating the month of October each year as Italian American Heritage Month. The president of the Salt Lake organization is Michael Ori who has a long list of ties to Carbon County.
President Jimmy Carter, during his administration, proclaimed October as Italian-American Heritage Month and sought similar action from the various states. Utah is one of several states that has not followed suit.
A resolution seeking this designation is being prepared to be introduced in the forthcoming legislative session in January. State Representative Christine Watkins of Price offers her support for the resolution, planning to introduce it and support its passage next year.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) if Advair DISKUS™ 250/50mcg BID modifies arterial stiffness which is a measure associated with risk of heart disease.
Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive
Drug: ADVAIR DISKUS™ 250/50mcg
Other: Placebo
Phase 4
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Allocation: Randomized
Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Masking: Double Blind (Subject, Investigator)
Primary Purpose: Treatment
|Official Title:
|A Randomized, Double-Blind, Parallel-Group, 16-Week Study to Evaluate the Effect of Fluticasone Propionate/Salmeterol DISKUS® 250/50mcg BID and Placebo on Arterial Stiffness in Subjects With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
- Mean Change From Baseline in Aortic Pulse Wave Velocity (aPWV) at the 12-Week Endpoint [ Time Frame: Baseline and the 12-Week Endpoint (up to Week 12) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]The 12-week Endpoint is defined as the last scheduled measurement of PWV during the 12-week double-blind treatment period (from Visits 3-5; Weeks 4, 8, and 12, respectively), and Baseline is defined as the PWV measure from Visit 2 (Randomization). Change from Baseline was calculated as the Endpoint value minus the Baseline Value. PWV is used as a measure of arterial stiffness, which is a measure of the cushioning functioning of major vessels like the aorta. The velocity of the PW along an artery is dependent on the stiffness of that artery.
- Mean Change From Baseline in Augmentation Index (AIx) at the 12-Week Endpoint [ Time Frame: Baseline and the 12-Week Endpoint (up to Week 12) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]AIx is a surrogate measure of peripheral (not aortic) arterial resistance and is measured by analysis of the pulse wave at the radial artery. AIx = ([delta P/Pulse Pressure] x 100); delta P is defined by a notch near the peak of the pulse wave. Change from Baseline was calculated as the Endpoint value minus the Baseline Value.
- Mean Change From Baseline in Forced Expiratory Volume in One Second (FEV1) at the 12-Week Endpoint [ Time Frame: Baseline and the 12-Week Endpoint (up to Week 12) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]FEV1 is a measure of air flow via spirometry. Change from Baseline was calculated as the Endpoint value minus the Baseline Value.

COPD subjects-Placebo DISKUS
Detailed Description:
This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled study to evaluate the effect of Fluticasone Propionate/Salmeterol DISKUS 250/50mcg (FSC) BID on arterial stiffness in COPD subjects. Following a 1 to 14 day run-in period, approximately 250 subjects will be randomly assigned to double-blind treatment for 12 weeks. After the 12 week treatment period, subjects in both treatment arms will receive open label Tiotropium bromide Handihaler18mcg (Tio)QD for 4 weeks in addition to their continued study drug (either FSC250/50 or placebo). The primary measure of efficacy is Pulse Wave Velocity (PWV) at Endpoint. Secondary efficacy measures include Augmentation Index (AIx), Biomarkers of cardiovascular disease, measures of lung function. (e.g. FEV1). Safety will be assessed through the collection of adverse events and COPD exacerbations. Exploratory endpoints include the effect of Tiotropium on PWV and AIx when added to placebo or FSC. Treatment groups will be stratified based on current smoking status. There will be a total of 6 study visits (screening, randomization, and after 4, 8, 12 and 16 weeks of treatment). A follow-up phone contact for collection of adverse event and pregnancy information (if applicable) will be conducted approximately 14 days following the last study visit.

After the highly publicized suicides of several US teens, a nation-wide discussion about the dangers of bullying has been sparked. In Massachusetts, 9 teens are facing charges for their bullying, which, prosecutors argue, led to the suicide of 15 year-old Phoebe Prince in January. As in the case of Phoebe Prince, modern bullying often takes place off school grounds in a form that past generations were more protected from. Nowadays, cyberbullying (bullying online or through cell phones) is becoming increasingly common.
An article in Psychology in the Schools outlines some of the elements differentiate cyberbullying from regular bullying. The author reviews past research on online behaviour among children, in an attempt to understand why young people are increasingly becoming involved in cyberbullying. According to the authors, there is much research suggesting that the anonymity of the Internet is fostering disinhibition and reducing concern for others. Psychologists and authors of the book "Mean Girls, Meaner Women" seem to support this; they argue that bullying is becoming increasingly common because young people aren't being require to interact with each other face-to-face, and instead learn communication skills over the Internet. If this is the case, perhaps we should expect to see an increase in other examples of anti-social behaviour from teens who intensively communicate online.
However, it also might be a bit unfair to place the blame entirely on the Internet, when other factors (e.g. parenting, education, etc.) probably still play a strong, if not stronger, role in developing children's sense of right and wrong. Perhaps the Internet provides a new setting for bullies to harass victims, a place harder for victims to get away from. But maybe those kids would have been bullies even before the Internet and cell phones.

In trying to find my "gift or gifts" where by I can be a servant and do as the Lord has called me, I have ran into many obstacles. First off, I write poetry and have penned a few articles and I have had some good reviews and very helpful criques (even though my spelling and puncuation is not so great). I hope the Lord has used the things I have written to help someone eles by encouragement, healing a broken heart or forgiving someone who has hurt them, though I may never know while I am on this side of Heaven. Second, I also sing at churches, luncheons, and hope to sing at ladies retreats in the near future. I have only been singing since 2010. When I was a child, I was told to shut-up, that I couldn't sing. So as an adult I would hold my hymnal up close to my face so as not to hurt anyone's ears or have someone turn around and tell me to hush-up. Then one day I was reading in the Psalms and it said "...delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart..." Well, I pondered over that verus awhile and asked myself just what was the desires of my heart? I prayed and ask the Lord to let me sing to and for Him. Two months later I was doing just that! The first time I was so nervous, I just about fainted. I knew absolutely nothing about breathing or posture. Since then I have become a noteable singer and request are coming in for apperances, I have sang on TV numerous times and the Lord has "sandwhiched" me between two singing groups who have been at it for over 40 years and have sang with gospel greats like the Goodman Family, Issacs, Oak Ridge Boys, the Gaithers and many more, even sang for Billy Graham during his cursades. Gee that really sounds like a brag, but it is'nt meant to be. It's meant to bring glory and praise to God as He is the only reason I am doing this. So now you ask yourselves, Where are the obstacles? The devil will attack anyone, any way or any how he can if you devote your life to God. I have battled my own lack of confidence as well as other people who were used to stop me or try to. The last tme was recent, a pastor told me I was not annointed and I cried deep into my pillow the whole night and vowed I would stop singing. My hot tears spilled down my face as the light of dawn was breaking in the new day. Then the Lord spoke to my heart and said, "It's not about you, it's about me." and if that wasn't enough He went on to say "What if you don't sing and a heart isn't softened or prepared to accept my word and they go to hell?" Folks, that was all it took! I dried my tears and realized the devil will use anyone, any way or any how to stop God's word from going out. So I whispered back to the Lord, "OK, ...from my mouth to every ear that hears. Lord, you be in the middle and I will sing and sing and sing! Since that message there has been a diffrence in the way I sing those songs,...I sing them to the unsaved, the broken hearted and the ones who need to know they are important to God. I sing as if I am singing directly to my Lord. What ever your gifts are don't let anyone tell you that they aren't good enough . There is no unimportant gift, the Lord gave them to you....use them!!
Sing on! Donna
Oh, that "pastor", a wolf in sheeps clothing was arrested for DUI and was trying to control me. He now sits over a nearly empty church. It is a sad thing, but common as the last day is growing closer.
