In 1943, Kelly Morrison was hitchhiking, a common practice in the nation at that time. Kelly was returning home after serving over three years in the Air Force during WWII. He was a side gunner on a B-24, also known as the "Liberator," and had flown 25 missions, had been seriously wounded, and received three medals, including the Purple Heart.
Six Owen County teens attended the 2011 4-H District No. 3 Teen Retreat in northern Kentucky. Owen County was one of nine counties represented at the annual retreat where 45 youth were in attendance. At the retreat, the youth attended workshops on creativity and leadership, building relationships, healthy snacks, and stress management. Representing Owen County (from left to right) were Allyson Beverly, Kara Knochelmann, Samantha Perkins, Gracie Roberts, Olivia Karsner, and Claire True.

Farmers are encouraged to stop by the local Farm Service Agency to make their annual report. For any producers raising small grains, including wheat, your last day to report those crops is May 31.
DCP sign-up begins
For those producers eligible for the Direct and Counter-cyclical Program, the deadline for applications is June 1. This is a mandatory deadline for all participants and USDA will not accept any late-file applications. Signatures of all producers receiving a share in DCP payments are required by the June 1 deadline.
Most Owen County farmers have an abundance of cedar trees on their land. And, most think that there is absolutely no economic value to the trees, other than holding the world together and providing some wildlife habitat.
Eastern red cedar might be a bit overlooked, despite it being the most widely distributed conifer in the eastern United States. The University of Kentucky Extension Service is providing a workshop, "Got Cedar? Now What?" to outline some management and marketing options.
I know Ash Wednesday has come and gone, and we're smack in the middle of Lent, but Ash Wednesday is on my mind.
This year I went to two Ash Wednesday services, one in the morning and one at night.
My husband had asked, "Are you that bad?"
Well, last year I had vowed to give up recreational shopping for the 40 days leading up to Easter and I did well until I resisted not the temptation to buy something that I can't even remember and probably isn't even in my closet anymore.

Controlling certain weeds takes some strategic planning and during mid-March, the game begins. I personally don't care about weeds in the lawn but I do try to keep them out of the landscape beds and the vegetable garden. I also prefer to approach the whole affair with as little chemical input as possible, so I have developed a well-timed strategy of hand-weeding, mulching, using corn gluten as a pre-emergent and a little flame-throwing. I'll explain.

Oregon football season review: Defensive backs
CB: Terrance Mitchell, So.; Dior Mathis, So.; Stephen Amoako, Fr.; Austin Daich, Fr.
CB: Ifo Ekpre-Olomu, So.; Troy Hill, So.; Bronson Yim, RFr.; Michael Manns, Fr.
SS: Brian Jackson, Jr; James Scales, So.; Eric Amoako, Fr.; Oshay Dunmore, Fr.; Issac Dixon, RFr. (inj.)
FS: Erick Dargan, So.; Ben Butterfield, Jr.; J.R. Maffie, Jr.; Reggie Daniels, Fr.; John Boyett, Sr. (inj.); Avery Patterson, Jr. (inj.
HALL OF FAMER: He wasn't a "headliner," because knee injuries relegated John Boyett to just one appearance. But it just doesn't seem right to relegate one of the great safeties in UO history to "supporting act" or "buzz bin" status. Had patellar tendon injuries not ruined his senior season, Boyett would have finished his career with 367 tackles (based on his career average of seven per game), which would have been sixth all-time in UO history, just six away from the top five. And might the Ducks have liked Boyett streaking across the back of the end zone to break up a pass to Stanford's Zach Ertz, as he did so many times in his career, helping cornerbacks out over the top? Regardless of how it ended — and the Ducks had too many guys whose careers ended on a sour note in 2012 (York, Cody, etc.) — Boyett finished in the conversation about the great safeties ever at Oregon. (And lest anyone think this is pandering, Boyett, while being a man of many talents, also was one of the worst interviews on the team! Never met a coach-approved cliche he couldn't repeat ad nauseam. But he was always gracious in doing so!)
THE HEADLINERS: For as much upheaval as the Ducks experienced at free safety, the good news was that the other three starters in the secondary were the only three members of the UO defense to start all 13 games in the 2012 season. Safety Brian Jackson and cornerbacks Terrance Mitchell and Ifo Ekpre-Olomu were steady performers all year, with the exception of the USC game that turned into a track meet both ways. The breakout star was Ekpre-Olomu, a first-team all-Pac-12 pick and third-team AP all-American based on his knack for big plays. Ekpre-Olomu finished fourth on the team with 63 tackles, demonstrating requisite toughness, while forcing six fumbles and intercepting four passes. Combined with the 16 other passes he broke up, Ekpre-Olomu's 20 passes defended were sixth-most in the nation.
Ekpre-Olomu had so many chances for big plays because opponents were apparently loath to throw toward Mitchell. The sophomore had 40 tackles and broke up eight passes but didn't intercept a pass, yet still earned honorable mention all-conference honors. Jackson, meanwhile, stepped into the big shoes vacated by Eddie Pleasant and led the UO secondary with 69 tackles while adding two interceptions, two fumbles recoveries and a sack. Given that the Ducks cycled through three starting free safeties, they badly needed the stability they got at the other three positions, who needed to adjust to the changing personnel without missing a beat.
SUPPORTING ACTS: Boyett's injury resulted in the promotion of Avery Patterson into the starting lineup, and he provided 44 tackles and three interceptions before blowing out his knee at California. Thus, his fellow Pittsburg, Calif., native Erick Dargan finished out the season, as the Ducks' third starting free safety. Having played extensively on special teams and in some of Oregon's big early wins, Dargan was no stranger to the lineup. He ended up with eight tackles and two rally-killing interceptions in the Fiesta Bowl, as the UO safeties embodied Chip Kelly's "next man up" philosophy.
At corner, the two starters played extensively. Backup Troy Hill made 10 appearances despite battling an ankle injury most of the season, and Dior Mathis also played in 10 games despite injury issues late in the year. The Ducks were woefully thin in the backfield once Patterson was injured — neither Hill nor Mathis made the Cal trip — but they made it through and got some guys healthy for the stretch run.
BUZZ BIN: The Ducks came close to pressing Reggie Daniels into action due to the injuries, but ultimately he was able to redshirt, along with Eric Amoako, Stephen Amoako and Oshay Dunmore. Receiver Ben Butterfield moved over to defense early in the year to provide depth at safety; his primary contributions were on special teams. James Scales recovered from a 2011 knee injury and made the two-deep due to all the injuries, before being dismissed from the team earlier this month. Issac Dixon wasn't available the latter half of the season due to a lower leg injury. Walk-on safety J.R. Maffie made three appearances and cornerback Bronson Yim played in two games.
ENTERING SPRING: The Ducks figure to field the same first-string in April that started the Fiesta Bowl, assuming Patterson still will be rehabbing his knee. And so, how do things shake out lower on the depth chart? The presence of Hill and Mathis makes the two-deep at corner pretty much set. At safety, though, this spring will be a huge proving ground for guys like Daniels and Dunmore. There figures to be one open spot at safety on the two-deep come fall, presuming Patterson is good to go. Will it go to a veteran like Dixon, or a new face like Daniels?
RECRUITING: Given their importance on special teams, you can never have too many quality defensive backs, and the Ducks appear to be in line to sign three incoming freshmen next week. All three are versatile two-way high school stars who look slated for the secondary at Oregon. Chris Seisay is from the same area as Boyett, Tyree Robinson is committed along with his twin, the linebacker Tyrell, and Juwaan Williams is one of Oregon's most recent committed players, since Mark Helfrich took over as head coach.
CB: Terrance Mitchell, Jr.; Dior Mathis, Jr.; Stephen Amoako, RFr.; Austin Daich, RFr.; Chris Seisay, Fr.
CB: Ifo Ekpre-Olomu, Jr.; Troy Hill, Jr.; Bronson Yim, So.; Michael Manns, RFr.
SS: Brian Jackson, Sr; Erick Dargan, Jr.; Issac Dixon, So.; Eric Amoako, RFr.; Tyree Robinson, Fr.
FS: Avery Patterson, Sr.; Reggie Daniels, RFr..; Oshay Dunmore, RFr.; Ben Butterfield, Sr.; J.R. Maffie, Sr.; Juwaan Williams, Fr.
THOUGHTS: In 2011, the Ducks endured an injury to Anthony Gildon and the craziness that was Cliff Harris, which forced freshmen Mitchell, Hill and Ekpre-Olomu into more prominent roles than expected. In 2012, the injury to Boyett opened up a spot for Patterson, who was then himself hurt, thrusting Dargan into the starting job. Those were trying times, but the result is that Oregon enters 2013 with an extremely deep, experienced defensive backfield. If history shows the Ducks should expect to call on their depth due to injuries in the fall, it also has prepared them for it phenomenally well.

Choosing an Effective Password
Think that the password for your computer system, e-mail, web site, web forum is secure? Well, you might be wrong.
There are many programs on the Internet that can allow someone to repeatedly enter words from the dictionary into your user name and password field to attempt to gain access. This type of attack is called a brute force hack. As many times your user name for certain things is your e-mail address or the word admin, all the malicious person has to do is figure out your log-in name and run this application for hours or even days to see if you have made your password a word contained in the dictionary file.
Common excuses I get from people I tell this to include: "But it's hard to remember a number or something that I don't use on a day to day basis.â€
While I can understand and relate to that, having a secure password can reduce the amount of problems, and security issues you have to worry about. Also, many times if you create a properly secure password, you can use that one password on almost any site, as it will work for sites that require you to come up with a reasonable length password containing certain items.
One way to make a secure password, but simple to remember is to use an everyday word, but by making letters of the word into numbers, it makes it harder for a malicious user to guess my password.
Something that looks like the letter, for example, you can make an "E†into a 3. The word "Example†thus turns into "3xampleâ€.
Most applications and sites now tell you to make at least one letter of the word you have chosen to be your password capitalized. Since many sites have it set up that a lower case "n†is not the same as an uppercase "Nâ€, this makes it harder to figure out which letters of the word you have chosen to capitalize. For example, "WaShINgtoNâ€.
If you really want a secure password you can mix this two concepts. Here is an example of how the combination might look. Example: "4lPhaB3tâ€, which would be "alphabetâ€. Notice how the 4 looks like a little like an "Aâ€?
One last tip to creating an effective password is that the longer you make your password the harder it is going to be for someone to figure it out.
Remembering these simple rules will help keep your things private.

I have passwords like:
Then I write them down with what service it is BUT I DON'T write the username. I figure usernames are easier to remember than passwords.
Yeah, i have 3 passwords i rotate through, my old one was ./2sn6p
My favorite password to use for non-important sites is: computersux. Simple.
When I update my password for my email accounts, I take a word that I would like to learn how to spell, then add "4Me" at the end. I do keep this new word written down just in case I forget what it is.
My password is my nickname when I was 6 ! Only my mother can now it ! lol

Hopes for the year
I haven't really made one specific new year's resolution that I'm determined to keep. I think that goals should come along as you realize that changes or improvements need to be made. But during winter break I was able to evaluate fall semester and there are a few things that I have in mind to do not just for this semester, but as part of everyday.
1. Spend more time with my family.
This is hard for most college students, and especially for me since I'm back home only a few times out of the year. But when I'm not able to see my parents, at least spend the time to talk to them more over the phone and to let them know more about what's going on here in Berkeley.
2. Make it a point to spend quality time with my roommates and friends in Berkeley.
Although I see my roommates and circle of friends several times a week, there never seems to be time to really talk to them and see how they're doing. It's really important to me to stay close to those I love, and I want to make more of an effort this year to have one on one times with people and have meaningful conversations rather than the quick, "how are you?"
3. Pray more
I'm of Christian faith, and God is the priority of my life. But just like everything else, I push that aside in the busyness of school. But I really want to be able to spend more time in prayer so that I can keep God as my center and stay rooted in my faith.

Vanessa C. LaFlair got a very special New Years Day surprise.
She gave birth to Layla Marie Besaw at 3:53 p.m. at Claxton Hepburn Medical Center.
Her due date was the day after Christmas, said Ms. LaFlair, who added she was glad to have given birth on Jan. 1.
Layla was one of the few babies in the region born on the day, and the first baby to be born at Claxton-Hepburn on New Years Day in the last five years. Weighing 7 pounds, 3 ounces and measuring 20 inches long, Layla already has a full head of hair.
She treats me really well, said Ms. LaFlair, adding that her familys new addition so far rarely cries and has been sleeping well.
In light of the New Years Day birth, the hospital gave Ms. LaFlair and her baby two large gift baskets.
Complete with baby clothes, pajamas and toys, the baskets also contained lip gloss, a candle and skin care products for mom.
The baskets were presented to Ms. LaFlair by Nurse Manager Lenette M. Deloney.
Ms. LaFlairs boyfriend and Laylas father, Doug L. Besaw, said this is the second woman in his life who has a holiday birthday. His first daughter, Breanna Gladle Besaw, 9, was born on Christmas.
Ms. LaFlair said she was treated very well at the hospital but was looking forward to being released Friday afternoon.
I love being in the comfort of my own home, she said.

Free Tony The Tiger is dedicated to raising awareness for Tony and to securing his release to an accredited big cat sanctuary where he can receive the care, home, diet, enrichment, medical care and respect he deserves. It is also the mission of Free Tony The Tiger to bring attention to the severe problem of privately owned tigers in the United States.
There are more tigers in captivity in the United States than left in the wild. We can help stop the abuse and exploitation of these magnificent cats by supporting The Big Cats & Public Safety Protection Act
This bill would prohibit private possession of big cats except at highly-qualified facilities like accredited zoos where they can be properly cared for and safely managed.
- Take Action at this link with the easy contact form courtesy of Big Cat Rescue ~ Tampa FL:
Tony represents one of the estimated 5,000-10,000 of privately owned tigers in the United States whose numbers are greater than tigers in the wild. Captive U.S. tigers are used in roadside zoos and attractions, photo ops and exhibitions, entertainment shows, pseudo-sanctuaries, bred for profit or are owned as "pets." Others end up in canned hunts or on the black market.
This is a serious issue that must be addressed and resolved; the more it is exposed, the better chance there is to put an end to this abuse and exploitation. There is no conservation value in privately breeding tigers. The only sanctioned tiger breeding program in the United States is the Species Survival Plan in which AZA accredited zoos participate. Not all animal rescue centers and sanctuaries are what they claim to be. A true sanctuary would never buy, sell, trade, breed, or cart their animals to malls, fairs, etc.
Please view these very important and informative videos from Big Cat Rescue – Tampa Florida addressing this issue.
Carole Baskin, Founder and CEO of Big Cat Rescue of Tampa FL , the world's largest accredited sanctuary, that is devoted entirely to exotic cats speaks out about:
1. Where do big cats go when they are no longer profitable cubs?
2. If the good sanctuaries are full, where do the big cats go?
3. Should we be building bigger and more sanctuaries for the unwanted cats?
4. What is the best way to prevent the abuse of lions, tigers and other big cats?
5. Does banning private possession of exotics work?
6. Who tracks maulings, killings and escapes by tigers and other big cat species?
7. Do USDA and state inspections make sure breeders and dealers are being humane?
8. When did the big cat crisis in America start?
9. Are there laws to prevent exotic cats from being traded for their meat, skin and bones?
10. How is the public to blame for the worst acts toward tigers and their cubs?
11. What happens to breeders, dealers and other wild animal exploiters when they run out of money?
12. What are some of the most lax states when it comes to wildcat standards and enforcement?
13. Why doesn't the government do something about all of the abuse of tigers, lions, leopards, jaguars & other big cats?
14. Are there illegal activities operating in the shadow of legal uses of tigers?
15. What kind of tracking is done and what needs to be done to end the abuse of exotic wild cats?

Tiger cubs are exploited and abused in money-making ploys disguised as "educational shows." There is nothing educational about displaying cubs in hands-on exhibitions and photo ops – but it is how individuals and pseudo-sanctuaries capitalize on the appeal of these baby tigers and other big cat cubs to lure the public into their unscrupulous schemes. Exploiting tiger cubs by allowing the public to interact with them is not educational, but dangerous and misleading, as well as harmful to the cubs. The real life horrors these cats face once they shed their "cuteness" and turn into 300 to 500 lb. predators are years of captive life in deplorable conditions. Please don't contribute to this abuse by engaging in these exhibitions, supporting or promoting them.

Big Cat Rescue – Tampa FL,
a non profit educational sanctuary, is devoted to rescuing and providing a permanent home for exotic (i.e. wild, not domestic) cats who have been abused, abandoned, bred to be pets, retired from performing acts, or saved from being slaughtered for fur coats, and to educating the public about these animals and the issues facing them in captivity and in the wild.
The sanctuary is home to the most diverse population of exotic cats in the world, with 16 species and subspecies of wild cat represented among more than 100 residents. These include tigers, lions, liger, leopards, cougars, bobcats, lynx, ocelots, servals, caracals and others, many of whom are threatened, endangered, or now extinct in the wild.

What You Can Do To Help Tigers
Do not patronize or support events that exploit tigers and tiger cubs (or any big cats.)
If there's an online article about a show coming to a mall, fair, or a circus employing animal acts, comment on it voicing your concern for the animals and your opposition to such shows. Share the information via Twitter and Facebook and ask others to do the same. You can also contact the venue to tell them you do not support such exhibitions of animal cruelty and abuse. If you do see a traveling exhibit, particularly one with cubs, report it to firstname.lastname@example.com
Visit Big Cat Rescue – Tampa FL's Action Alerts for ways you can advocate for big cats: http://capwiz.com/bigcatrescue/home/
Share links to videos and articles about tigers to network the plights they face both in captivity and the wild – some of which have been included in this post.
Support true accredited sanctuaries that provide caring proper homes for big cats such as:
Big Cat Rescue – Tampa FL http://www.bigcatrescue.org
The WildCat Sanctuary http://www.wildcatsanctuary.org/
WildCat Haven http://www.wildcathaven.org/
Facilities that breed, buy, sell, force their animals to perform and exhibit them off site are just profiting from these animals and should be avoided.
Such majestic and magnificent cats like tigers should be respected and protected and it is up to those of us who care about Tony and tigers like him to continue to be a strong voice for them. Thank you.

The suicide of a sixth-grade girl in a small central Maine community has sparked debate over bullying prevention. Harley McGuire - known as "Kitty" - killed herself on Tuesday of last week. She lived in Troy and was a student at Mount View Middle School in Thorndike. She was 13, and according to her Facebook memorial page, was targeted because she was bisexual. Tom Porter has more.
Her family says Kitty's suicide is a direct result of being bullied. "She had spoken to the guidance counselor several times," says her 26-year-old biological uncle, Tim McGuire. "My dad was actually going to call her again, but Kitty asked him not to. She said it would make it worse."
McGuire says he was more like an older brother to her because his parents were Kitty's legal guardians. Kitty's suicide tops an agonizing year for the McGuires. In April, 2012, her older brother, Edward, who was 20, also killed himself.
According to Tim McGuire, Edward had dropped out of Mount View High School the year before because he was being bullied.
In the case of Kitty, Tim McGuire says the family was upset that the school characterized the bullying that she was undergoing as "teasing."
"We know that school has an ongoing bullying problem that they need to admit," he says. "I would like the school to publicly admit that they have a bullying problem and to tell the community what they're going to do about it."
"We simply don't know a lot right now," says Heather Perry, superintendent of RSU 3, the district that covers Thorndike.
She says the district has launched an investigation into the circumstances leading up to Kitty's death, to run in conjunction with an investigation being carried out by the Waldo County Sheriff's Office.
Perry says she doesn't know if bullying was what prompted Kitty McGuire to take her own life. "Part of the purpose of conducting this thorough investigation is to find out if indeed there's anything to the allegations, and to determine if there is anything to those allegations, then what's behind the scenes on that," Perry says.
Perry points out that Kitty's suicide comes just a few months after Maine schools introduced new statewide anti-bullying measures, laying out a series of steps that need to be taken if bullying is reported.
"If there's any allegation - whether it's founded or unfounded - from a student regarding bullying, whether that's made to a coach, or an ed tech, or a teacher, or an administrator, regardless of the allegation itself, whether there's truth to it or not, we take every one of those very seriously," Perry says.
Perry says that before Kitty McGuire's death, she was unaware of any allegations of bullying at Mountview Middle School.
Meanwhile as the investigation proceeds, Kitty's "big brother" Tim McGuire wants to stress that the family is not angry at those who bullied Kitty. After all, he adds, they're children too, and they need help.

Elderly Man Sues 'The X Factor' For Making Him Too Tired to Perform Well
According a new lawsuit filing obtained by TheWrap, an elderly man is suing 'The X Factor' for making him too tired to perform at a competitive level.
Hyman Marks, 86, his wife Helen, 78, and his son Stephen, 54, are suing Fox, 'The X Factor' and Simon Cowell, claiming their chances of stardom were destroyed because they became too exhausted to perform after being put through a "physical ordeal."
The lawsuit states Hyman Marks once had a recording contract in the 1950s, but gave a career in show business up to become an educator.
The father-son duo made it through three rounds of auditions and were set to perform in front of 'The X Factor' judging panel of Cowell, Paula Abdul, Nicole Scherzinger and L.A. Reid. According to the lawsuit, the Marks family was given special attention because of the novelty of having a father and son competing.
At their set audition time in Miami in June 2011, the Marks family was interviewed and filmed several hours of B-roll in temperatures exceeding 90 degrees. The lawsuit states forcing the two elderly adults and their asthmatic son to get in and out of car and walk into the building housing the audition was "clearly discriminatory since no other contestant that day was forced to endure that level of physical and mental exertion."
Along with the outdoor filming, the lawsuit states Hyman and Stephen filmed staged scenes, including dancing wildly in front of mirrors. All the extra filming reportedly left them "physically spent," unable to perform in their peak conditions.
"As a result of this grueling and discriminatory physical and mental exertion, the judges and the audience never got to see the real Hy Marks and Stephen Marks that day," the suit says.
Cowell voted no, citing Hyman's age and possible inability to handle the stress of the competition, but the suit says if 'The X Factor' judges had seen the "real" Hyman, unaffected by the hours of filming, they would've had another opinion.
The family is seeking another chance at 'The X Factor.' If not, they're asking the court to award them a total of $3 million, $1 million each.
This isn't the only lawsuit 'The X Factor' is facing. 'American Idol' creator Simon Fuller is suing for a stake in the Fox reality series.
Tell us: Do you think the Marks family should be given another chance?

32nd Antarctic Treaty Consultative Meeting Convenes in Baltimore, April 6-17
The Antarctic Treaty Consultative Meeting will be attended by nearly 400 diplomats, Antarctic program managers and logistics experts, and polar scientists from 47 countries, including 28 Consultative Parties with a scientific presence in the Antarctic, to discuss several issues, including environmental protection, the advancement of science, and the management of tourism. This year's meeting occurs during the 50th anniversary year of the signing of the Antarctic Treaty, and at the conclusion of the 2007-2009 International Polar Year.
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton will host the first-ever joint session of the Antarctic Treaty Consultative Meeting and the Arctic Council on April 6, 2009, bringing together the two most important bodies involved with diplomacy at the Poles. This event will mark the beginning of the 32nd Antarctic Treaty Consultative Meeting, which is being hosted by the United States, in Baltimore, Maryland, April 6-17, 2009.
Ministers and other high-ranking officials will discuss accomplishments of the International Polar Year, an international and interdisciplinary undertaking that has mobilized thousands of researchers from more than 60 countries, to work on more than 160 projects in the Polar Regions. U.S. participation in International Polar Year included research conducted by a range of federal agencies, including the National Science Foundation, the National Aeronautic and Space Administration, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and the U.S. Geological Survey, among others.
This observance of the 50th anniversary of the Antarctic Treaty, which was signed in Washington, D.C., will note its historic significance as the first modern multilateral arms control treaty. The accord provides that Antarctica is to be used for peaceful purposes only and guarantees freedom of scientific investigation. The Treaty was championed by the United States during the Cold War and is widely considered to be one of the most successful treaty regimes ever established. U.S. initiatives at the 32nd ATCM in Baltimore will include proposals to formally limit the size of vessels that can land passengers in Antarctica and to establish higher standards for the use of lifeboats aboard tourist vessels that visit Antarctica.
More information on IPY and polar science being undertaken by the United States can be found at www.IPY.gov and more information about the ATCM and about U.S. Antarctic policy is available at www.atcm2009.gov.

Tuareg Nation Upsets U.S. Policy in Africa
Azawad proclaims independence in North Mali.
9:25 AM, Apr 7, 2012 • By ROGER KAPLAN
As fighting ebbed in recent days with the retreat south of the Niger of the MDF, there have been reports of jihadists occupying certain neighborhoods in Gao, Timbuctu, and other localities. Their proclaimed goal is the creation of an Islamic state in the north, eventually in all of Mali and throughout the Sahel.
Both the legitimate authorities in Bamako and the putschists – who at least in the past two weeks seem to have enjoyed considerable popular support, largely on the strength of their proclaimed goal of taking back the north – continue to refer to the Tuareg forces of the MNLA as little better than "armed bandits" closely associated with the highwaymen, drug smugglers, and gun runners who long have used the southern Sahara as a sanctuary and hideout. Indeed, the jihadist forces, too, are regularly accused by regional authorities of being drenched in criminality, specializing in kidnapping and other heinous but lucrative acts.
The U.S., while recognizing the sharp differences among the regional powers, has for at least 10 years sought to encourage military and political cooperation across the region on the basis of a common interest in eradicating terrorism from the Sahara and preventing the contagion of jihadism to spread into sub-Saharan Africa, beginning with the Sahel.
This extremely poor region of desert and savannah is presently very much in play, with U.S. (as well as French) special forces fighting against terrorists in cooperation with regional militaries from Uganda, Kenya, and South Sudan in the east to Niger, Mali, and Mauritania in the west, passing by Nigeria's north. The major regional power, Algeria, has received strong marks from the U.S. government for its assistance and cooperation in this policy. Several Algerian consular officials in Gao were taken prisoner, reportedly, by Ansar Edine elements, following the fall of the city. The assault appears to have been designed to impress U.S. assistant secretary of state Johnnie Carson, conferring even as it happened with the president and foreign minister of Algeria in Algiers.
The MNLA denies any responsibility in this affair and indeed regional observers are attentive to whether the anti-colonial and jihadist "tactical allies," if such they were, are about to fall out among themselves now that the MDF has been defeated in the north – or if, on the contrary, their alliance turns out to be durable.
U.S. policy is at the very least likely to suffer a serious setback if instability persists in Mali and, per chance, spreads to its neighbors. Sources close to the Azawad leadership, however, hope that the U.S. will take seriously the national movement's declarations of commitment to democratic and secular government, with all the strategic consequences that follow.

Scripture Prayers For Our Every Need
This year I am going to post scripture prayers every month. You may print these out as you need them for your loved ones or yourselves. My prayer is that as we pray these prayers that God's Word will go forth from His mouth and not return to Him void (empty, without fruit), but it shall accomplish what He pleases, and it shall prosper in the thing for which He sent it. (from Isaiah 55:11).
Most of these scriptures prayers were written in 2001 when I was staying close to the Lord after my Mom died of cancer.
Scripture Prayer for When we Need Hope
Father God, I thank You for Your promise to us for a hope and a future. Your Word declares that Christ in us is the hope of glory. It is not Your will for us to live in discouragement and despair. I pray that when we are discouraged that You will fill us with Your hope, joy, peace and faith so that we will abound in hope through the power of Your Holy Spirit. Help us to hope continually and praise You more and more. Your hope is the anchor of our souls. It is sure and steadfast.
I praise You that You are always with us. You will never leave or forsake us. We can hope in You because You are our Father and God. I pray that we will even now rejoice in You as You fill us with hope. In the Name of Jesus, Amen (So be it)
Scripture references - Jeremiah 29:11, Colossians 1:27, Romans 15:13, Psalm 71:14, Hebrews 6:18-19, Hebrews 13:5
Scripture Prayer for the Good Shepherd to Lead and Guide Us
Good Shepherd, thank You for leading and guiding us. Keep us in Your tender care. Be our Rock of Refuge and Shield of Defense. Make us secure and protect us. Keep us and our family and friends safe. Be with us wherever we are. Help us to walk in Your light at all times. Be our personal Lord, Savior and Friend. May we stand in awe of Your love for us. Help us to come to know by experience that we are hidden in Christ and in Him we live and move and have our being. Because of this our needs are met. In Jesus' Name I pray and thank You for Your will to come to pass in our lives. Amen (so be it).
Scripture references: Psalm 23, John 10:1-29, 1 John 1:5, Colossians 3:3, Acts 17:26, Philippians 4:19
Scripture Prayer to be People of Character and Integrity
I thank You, Father that we are people of godly character and integrity. I ask now that You will strengthen our character even more than it is now, enabling us to conquer every temptation we face. Help us to be true to what we know is right and give us the ability to walk in integrity of heart.
You, Father always provide a way of escape from life's temptations so we are enabled to bear up in the face of testings and trials. Keep our souls, Lord. Let integrity and uprightness preserve us. May we learn to wait on You more. Help us to see that the issues of life spring from our hearts and as we think in our hearts so are we. Give us more of Your grace to keep our hearts with all diligence.
I ask you to help us to be a faithful men and women who are just and filled with the integrity that comes from You, Father. This is my prayer for us, In Jesus' Name, Amen (so be it)
Scripture references - Genesis 20:6, 1 Corinthians 10:13, Proverbs 23:7, Proverbs 4:23
Scripture Prayer to Not be Conformed to this World
Father God, I pray that our lives would no longer be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewing of our minds according to Romans 12:2. I pray that the Truth (Jesus) will set us and others free from worldly thinking (John 8:32). I intercede that we will daily put off our old natures and put on the new man, that is renewed in knowledge according to the image of God Who created us (Colossians 3:8-10). I also ask that we would set our affections on things above and not on things on the earth. Help us to focus more on Jesus and what is true, honest, pure, lovely, of good report and of all that is excellent and praiseworthy (according to Colossians 3:2, Hebrews 12:1-2 and Philippians 4:8). May You always be glorified in our lives and in the lives we influence. In Jesus' Name I pray, believing this will come to pass because Your Word never fails to accomplish what it is sent to do in and through us. (Isaiah 55:11). Amen (so be it!)
This one I wrote in 1994
Prayer and Confession of Protection and Power for a Born-Again Believer
In the name of Jesus I apply His blood between us and all the power of the enemy. I also apply the keeping power of Jesus over our families. 1 John 5:8 says that the blood is one of three witnesses on the earth; together with the Spirit and the water. The blood of Jesus speaks (Hebrews 12:24).
Father God, You have already made us partakers of the inheritance of your holy ones (Colossians 1:12). Satan, you may try to dispute this and seek to keep us out of this great inheritance but I intercede that the witness of the blood of Jesus speaks and declares that Jesus already has bought our inheritance on the cross and that it is all ours. I know that You have delivered us from the power of darkness and transferred us to the Kingdom of Your Beloved Son (Colossians 1:13).
Satan, when you try to use your power over our soul and body, I call for the blood of Jesus to speak to God, our Father for us and declare the truth. Jesus Christ has fully delivered us from all your power, Satan, so that you now have no authority to put sin, sickness, pain, disease or whatever would hinder God's peace in us (Isaiah 53:4-5). Jesus came for the purpose of destroying your works, Satan (1 John 3:8). You may try to put some of the curse on us or keep us from getting rid of some of the curse, but now we know and trust in the witness of the blood of Jesus which testifies that He has redeemed us from the curse, set us free from all of it all of it (Deuteronomy 28:15 -68) when Jesus was made a curse for us (Galatians 3:13-14)
It is the blood of the new covenant, the pledge that we have all that is promised in it and that Satan, you can't keep us out of any promise of God. I now once again call on the witnessing blood of Christ to testify that Jesus has bought everything promised to us in the new covenant and His precious blood was the price that He paid.
Satan, you may try to overcome us but as we pray now we take you to Calvary where the sacred blood of Jesus brings your power to nothing. I magnify the blood and the Lamb of God Who shed the blood. I give bold testimony to the power of Jesus' blood which is working in behalf of us and for any other brothers or sisters in Christ that His Spirit leads me to intercede for. In the mighty Name of Jesus I pray. Amen (so be it) , Hallelujah!

At The Sugar Mill Hotel your wedding will be as individual as you are. We know this will be one of the most important days of your life and we want you to treasure every moment and carry home with you beautiful island memories of this small slice of paradise. Click here for more information on Wedding Arrangements or contact us if you have any further questions.
A Tale of Three Weddings
Teresa & Glyn, Tammy & Mike and Chuck & Olie have agreed to share their thoughts on their Sugar Mill weddings with you.
Teresa & Glyn
"On January 30 we said, 'I do' at the Sugar Mill Hotel. It was the most beautiful morning as I got ready in my room. A staff member from the hotel brought up breakfast to my room for my mother, matron of honor and myself. Breakfast was wonderfully prepared and the presentation was everything. My husband and friends eased their tension by drinking a few "Painkillers" at the bar. Everything was arranged, from a local salon coming to do my hair on the premises, flowers being delivered and the laundry department of the Sugar Mill bringing my dress beautifully pressed.
Our ceremony started at 10 a.m. and as you can see in the pictures the staff personally picked all the beautiful flowers and decorated the gazebo. When I started to come down the stairs into the gazebo I couldn't believe my eyes. After the ceremony we had a champagne toast and took pictures all over the grounds of the Sugar Mill.
We had lunch for 13 people at the restaurant on the beach called Islands. Again the staff was absolutely wonderful. The Sugar Mill made our wedding day very special for us and we do so appreciate it from the bottom of our hearts."
Forever and always,
Teresa and Glyn
Tammy & Mike
"A couple of days ago Tammy and I took time to view our wedding video. It dawned on both of us that we had not yet taken time to thank you for making our wedding day so special.
There hasn't been one person who attended our wedding who hasn't complimented the Sugar Mill.
Again, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts."
Kindest regards,
Mike and Tammy Jarvis
Chuck & Olie
Olie described it best, "It was a fairy tale princess wedding." The quiet, the beautifully colored sky in all its splendor, the company of many new found friends, the serenity of a tropical paradise, and the tranquility of the island are simply unequaled.
We can't even take credit for the planning and success of our wedding day. One telephone call to Liz at the Sugar Mill and a thousand mile separation melted away, the groundwork was laid, and everything just seemed to fall into place. All arrangements were made for us with no requests left undone which was wonderful when dealing with the great distance factor, a foreign government, and an unfamiliar country.
We will always have fond thoughts of the Sugar Mill and the staff who made life-long memories for us. For a memorable and very special wedding in paradise, contact the Sugar Mill in Tortola, BVI."

The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) has issued full guidance to the NHS in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland on Percutaneous radiofrequency ablation of renal cancer.
It replaces the previous guidance on Percutaneous radiofrequency ablation of renal cancer (IPG91), September 2004.
Renal cancer is cancer of the kidney. Percutaneous radiofrequency ablation of renal cancer involves placing one or more electrode-needles through the skin into the kidney. The electrodes are placed within the tumour and produce heat, with the aim of destroying the cancer cells.
OPCS4.6 Code(s)
M13.7 Percutaneous radiofrequency ablation of lesion of kidney
Y53.- Approach to organ under image control
Note:Codes within category Y53.- are used as secondary codes to classify interventions that are percutaneous and require some form of image control: if the method of image control is unspecified, Y53.9 Unspecified approach to organ under image control is assigned.
In addition the ICD-10 code C64.X Malignant neoplasm of kidney, except renal pelvis or C79.0 Secondary malignant neoplasm of kidney and renal pelvis would be recorded.
The NHS Classifications Service of NHS Connecting for Health is the central definitive source for clinical coding guidance and determines the coding standards associated with the classifications (OPCS-4 and ICD-10) to be used across the NHS. The NHS Classifications Service and NICE work collaboratively to ensure the most appropriate classification codes are provided. www.connectingforhealth.co.uk/clinicalcoding

Lee sworn in as Utah's newest senator
Washington • Utah's newest senator, Mike Lee, left his far-flung temporary office on Wednesday en route to the Senate chamber to take the oath of office and join the 100-member body.
After herding his family and aides onto an elevator, a maintenance worker asked the group where they were from. Told Utah, the worker replied that he knew of Utah Sen. Orrin Hatch but wasn't sure who else represented the state.
"Hi, I'm Mike," Lee said, noting he was the other, less-known guy. It may have been the only time Wednesday he had to introduce himself.
A short time later, Lee stood before Vice President Joe Biden on the Senate floor and swore an oath to defend the Constitution, a document that Lee cited repeatedly during the campaign, capitalizing on a tidal wave of voter anger against Washington. If Lee had a theme for Wednesday, it was the Constitution.
"This is a great land, and that governing document was written by wise men offered up by divine providence for that very purpose, and I am grateful to be an heir to that legacy," Lee told a crowd of supporters as he sported his new Senate lapel pin and mugged for the cameras with his wife, Sharon, twin sons, James and John, and daughter, Eliza.
Lee, who ousted three-term incumbent Sen. Bob Bennett, also paraded his powerful connections on his first day in office, inviting two U.S. Supreme Court justices to the gallery and a reception as his guests. Lee, who twice clerked for Justice Samuel Alito, once at the high court and previously at the appellate level, drew robust applause from Alito and Justice Clarence Thomas.
Alito told The Tribune that it was "fantastic" to be present for the swearing in of his former clerk, joking that it made him feel old.
"I'm very proud of him," Alito said.
Former Utah Gov. Olene Walker, also on hand, said she was sure that Lee would continue to be a good conservative voice for the state.
"I'm certain that he'll do an outstanding job," Walker said. "I think it's too early to say what will happen because I think the next few years will be very revealing on how he reacts to the Senate and how the Senate reacts to him."
At 39, Lee now holds the distinction of being the Senate's youngest member. As a youngster, he served as a Senate page for Hatch, the state's longest-serving senator.
The 76-year-old Hatch noted at a reception he threw for Lee that it would take some time to get used to a new colleague after the loss of Bennett.
"It's naturally different, but Mike's a very good person and I think he'll make a fine senator," he said.
Hatch, with a hand on Lee's back, escorted him down the Senate aisle for the formal induction, and afterward pulled the newly minted senator aside.
"I told him I was proud of him," Hatch said.
The new senator, Utah's 16th since statehood, is the former general counsel to then-Gov. Jon Huntsman Jr. and son of former U.S. Solicitor General Rex E. Lee, who passed away in 1996. On Wednesday, Lee swore his oath while holding a well-worn Bible that his father had carried with him since high school.
Lee also placed his left hand on that Bible during a ceremonial oath-taking Wednesday afternoon before the news media in the Old Senate Chamber.
After a barrage of photos and a bit of quizzing from reporters, Lee stepped away from the spotlight and joined a tour of the U.S. Capitol, which didn't venture any farther than the Senate floor. But soon enough, Lee will have a much closer vantage point.
He is assigned Desk No. 6, second row from the back, second seat in, formerly occupied by Utah's Wallace Bennett, his son, Bob Bennett, and now, Sen. Mike Lee.

Nice coat
By JB
from Texas
Warm, wind proof jacket. I purchased the medium (5'7" 120 lbs) and it fits well whether I'm wearing a tshirt or sweater. Haven't worn it with anything too bulky. Sleeves are on the longer side but I don't mind that. Outside color is blue-green; inside lining more green than blue. Haven't had any problems with inside shedding fuzz. Very warm, wind proof coat. Great quality.

Production Screening Room
Location: Melnitz 2586
The Production Screening Room (formerly called "Viewing Room 1") is a very popular smaller theater for Production students. It features a beautiful wall-mounted 65"Panasonic plasma display (the largest plasma screen in the department) and a professional JBL 5.1 surround sound system. A machine rack at the front of the room has a DVD player (5.1 sound), 3-system VCR (stereo sound), Laserdisc player (stereo sound) and a SONY DSR-11 DVCam deck (stereo, and switch-able from PAL to NTSC), all of which are connected to a receiver that runs to the room's projector and sound system.
There is also an Apple G5 PowerPC computer with Final Cut Studio and Powerpoint and an Internet connection. At the base of the machine rack, there are additional VGA, DVI and stereo mini cables attached to a switch-box, should a presenter wish to connect their own personal laptop to the projector. Instructions for using the decks, receiver, projector and laptop switch-box are written on the machine rack and on the remote controls for the relevant devices.
The projection booth also features a 16mm film projector. A medium-sized motorized screen can be lowered in front of the 65" Panasonic plasma if a class wishes to project film in the room, but usually this motorized screen is left up. There is a small white-erase board on wheels for professors to do their lectures, and the room has permanent theater-style audience seating for 30. This is a very popular room for production students to screen dailies and recent cuts to their classes and teachers. It is also popular for guest speakers, guest lecturers and daily screenings of movies on DVD.

Husk Outdoor by Patricia Urquiola
By Freshome.com - Interior Design & Architecture Magazine on Apr 10, 2012
If you are already thinking about the summer to come, we can help you decide what outdoor furniture you can use to decorate your deck, patio or terrace. Husk Outdoor was designed by Patricia Urquiola for B & B Italia. This outdoor version of the Husk Chair presented at the last Milan Design Week bares a strong resemblance to the one used for interior spaces: "Like the indoor version, Husk Outdoor is made of recycled and recyclable materials, highlighting B&B Italia's keen awareness of topics such as ecology and environmental sustainability." Each component was carefully designed not only to offer the best version of an outdoor furniture item, but also to facilitate recycling by easily separating its components, reducing the environmental impact. The hard shell made of Hirek – a non-toxic, resistant multi-layered composite technopolymer with differentiated density – and soft, vividly colored cushions offer an inviting design and a comfortable seating experience. Completed with the round Husk coffee table, the outdoor furniture set is ready to accompany the new year's entertainment and relaxation moments.

Thought-provoking tales prove to be year's best
THE DOVEKEEPERS by Alice Hoffman (Simon and Schuster, $27.99)
DEFENDING JACOB by William Landay (Delacorte Press, $26)
GONE GIRL by Gillian Flynn (Crown, $25)
THE AGE OF MIRACLES by Karen Thompson Walker (Random House, $26)
THE SANDCASTLE GIRLS by Chris Bohjalian (Doubleday Books, $25.95)The end of the year always brings about lists of the top things — from music to products to books, there is probably a list for anything you can imagine.
Here is my list of what I considered the top five new books of the year.
"The Dovekeepers," by Alice Hoffman, is the story of four strong, individual women who came to the ancient city of Masada after their homes and towns were destroyed, each arriving a completely different woman than who she had been before the invasion. The four women meet when they are assigned to care for the doves of the encampment and their lives become intricately interwoven.
Hoffman has a unique way of capturing women's emotions in her storytelling, and the writing in this powerful and richly detailed novel is absorbing and mesmerizing. She has expertly woven a tale of hope and tragedy, and by combining the history of the events surrounding this intriguing tale, has created a haunting yet compelling novel of the power and strength of women when faced by adversity.
In "Defending Jacob," author William Landay has created not only a legal thriller, but also a heart-wrenching novel that delves deeply into the makeup of a family in crisis. Written from the perspective of a father as he is being questioned at the murder trial of his 14-year-old son, and his recollections of the events that had occurred, it feels as if the reader is given an inside view of everything that is happening. Creating a continually revolving sense of tension with this tale, Landay grabs his readers' attention with his skillful storytelling and keeps it tightly wound through various twists and turns until the very unexpected ending. In light of recent events, this novel is particularly heart-wrenching to read.
If there was one book that captured everyone's literary attention last summer, it was Gillian Flynn's "Gone Girl." Part mystery, part romance, part thriller, this novel is one of the most original and definitely one of the creepiest stories I have had the pleasure and chills to read in a long time.
"Gone Girl" is brilliantly written, with characters that are at once appalling and intriguing, a plot line that is a roller-coaster ride of chills and thrills, and an outcome that no one will see coming. Flynn has created the ultimate twisted, Hitchcockian drama that definitely leaves an impact on the reader long after the final page is turned.
With "The Age of Miracles," author Karen Thompson Walker has included some remarkable thought-provoking views about what would happen if the earth where to actually slow down — and it feels frighteningly realistic.
Julia, the narrator of the story, is almost a teenager. Introverted and thoughtful, she is a normal girl with a crush on a cute local boy. She is on the brink of personal changes, as her world is changing too. She has no idea what her future will be as she navigates the many obstacles that a young girl does at this precarious age. Only she has the added realization that her life may be nonexistent soon.
Even though speculative in nature, the book feels well-grounded in science and sociological fact. While not presented as science fiction, "The Age of Miracles" is an intriguing, captivating story that will appeal to readers of well-written fiction as well as fans of science-influenced tales.
In Chris Bohjalian's latest novel, "The Sandcastle Girls," the fate of the Armenian people in the early 1900s is the subject of an emotionally charged tale that has its background in history.
I was completely mesmerized by "The Sandcastle Girls." Bohjalian pulls his readers into this fictional yet historical story by educating, entertaining and enthralling them with his beautiful written prose.
I didn't know much about the genocide of the Armenian people, but through Bohjalian's gentle yet insightful story, I learned much about the time period in which this tragic, horrifying event occurred. This is not a blood and guts story at all, though. Bohjalian also weaves a beautiful love story throughout the tale that is truly enchanting.
2012 was a great year for books, and 2013 looks to be just as promising. I foresee the continuing explosion of e-books and e-readers, but I think physical books will also continue to be popular. Whichever way you find your literary choices, here's hoping you find something wonderful books to enjoy in the year to come.

If citizens don't get involved in Carroll's effort to develop a new comprehensive plan for the next 20 years, it's not because the county didn't invite them to participate.
At a community meeting March 23 at Gladesboro School in the Laurel Fork district, county officials and hired consultants stressed that Carroll residents and their ideas are crucial to the planning process.
Multiple public hearings and meetings are scheduled at every step of the way as Carroll puts together a vision of what the county will look like in 2030.
CHRISTIANSBURG — Hiring is expected to start this month for 100 new technology-based jobs for DirecTV, in which employees in Southwest Virginia will work from home to handle calls from customers.
Recruiting is expected to pull from three regions, including Carroll and Grayson counties and the City of Galax.
Those hired will serve as remote agents for DirecTV, said Rep. Rick Boucher (D-Abingdon), who announced the jobs Tuesday at a news conference in Christiansburg.
A barn and storage building was found ablaze when the Galax Fire Department arrived early on the morning of March 28 to Hebron Road, said Fire Chief David Hankley.
On arrival, the department found a large barn on fire, containing tractors, boats, livestock trailers and other equipment.
The fire destroyed approximately half of the structure, owned by Verlin Gallimore, but the majority of the equipment was saved.
The fire appeared to start in an adjacent small utility building and spread to the larger facility.
Work has begun on the permanent stage that will go up in Felts Park, as part of the 75th anniversary of the Galax Old Fiddlers' Convention, which is sponsored by the Galax Moose Lodge.
City Manager Keith Barker briefed members of Galax City Council on the project's status at their March 22 meeting.
Branson Construction of Chilhowie received a notice to proceed last Monday, after submitting a bid of $210,000. The total cost, Barker estimated, will be about $240,000, including implementing utilities.
HILLSVILLE — Though state funding has shrunk by nearly $3.8 million for county schools, educators have sought level funding from the Carroll County supervisors.
The schools request to the county remains a little less than $8.9 million, or about 25 percent of the $35.3 million of the revenue coming in for the 2010-2011 operational budget, according to the presentation made by Schools Superintendent Greg Smith to the supervisors Monday.
In its first year of competition, Galax's girls' soccer team needed nearly an entire season before notching the first win in program history. Winning has become commonplace for the Tide in year No.
EMORY -- Matt Nelson didn't take his time making a good impression at Emory and Henry College.
Galax Municipal Golf Course is planning several events and promotions for the 2010 season. Season pass rates will remain the same as during 2009, and players' cards are available, where five rounds earns one free round. Mondays are senior days, when senior golfers can play for cart fee only, and twosomes of any age will get a deal on Monday.
Michaela Sproviero of Galax's Junior Olympics gymnastics team competed in a USAG Level 4 sectional competition in Chesapeake on Feb.
FLOYD -- For the second time in two weeks Galax pushed a run across late in the game to take a one-run win over Floyd County, this time edging the Buffaloes 7-6 in a nondistrict game Thursday. The Maroon Tide (2-2) had scratched out a 10-9, eight-inning win in the two teams' first meeting last week.
