Thousands of people clad in bathing trunks, bikinis and even some woolly winter hats have taken the Polar Bear Plunge into the Chesapeake Bay for charity.
The surging mass of bathers whooped and hollered as they dashed into the chill winter waters, monitored by safety divers in wetsuits just offshore at Sandy Point State Park in Maryland.
Some participants spent mere seconds in the water, leaving behind sandals and floppy beach hats in the rush to get out just as fast as they got in. Some wore costumes, one like "Star Wars" character Darth Vader.
Saturday's was the 16th annual Polar Bear Plunge at the park, benefiting Special Olympics Maryland. Last year's plunge raised nearly $3 million, but there was no immediate word on the amount raised this year.

I'm not a cable expert, but from what I've learned so far...this smells like a load of bunk if you ask me. (It also smells like burning plastic. ) People will buy a*n*y*t*h*i*n*g.
So what's next? "Cable lubricant"? "...makes the music slip more easily down the wire, hitting your headphones or speakers harder and producing a fuller, richer and more enveloping sound"
Does longer conditioning time mean better performance? Can I over-Cook my cables? Will they be damaged?
Over-Cooking can reduce the performance, at least temporarily. The characteristics of this are a reduced or diminished soundstage and a dull, lifeless quality to the music. If this situation occurs, merely letting the cables physically rest, and settle, then putting them back in the music system to play for a few hours brings them back to their optimal performance level.
...because you know cables have feelings, too. As do other audio components. I made my headphones angry the other day. We talked, but they still haven't forgiven me yet. Out of spite, they sound cold and distant and uncaring. Maybe if I buy them a nice gift everything will be OK. They keep asking for Cardas, but I said "No! Maybe some nice cable lubricant, instead?"
Will cables revert back over time requiring a second burn in, or are the results permanent?
Unless cabling is completely disconnected for a long period of time, we don't think they "completely" revert back to their original, raw state.
Cables start off "raw"? So does this mean there are settings on the device for "rare", "medium-rare", "medium", "well-done" or "cajun-charred"? And if I use the "cajun-charred" setting, will my music sound warmer and more spicy?
But seriously, if someone could just ABX the effects of cable "burn-in", maybe this device would have some justification and respect. Until then, it's just another way for an "audiophile" to blow their money.

Artist Statement:
"My recent work explores the problem of knowledge and the limitations of Reason as a means of understanding both the internal and external world. In particular, I am interested in the mundane ideals that we encounter in our day-to-day lives, and how they structure our understanding of our physical, intellectual, and emotional worlds. In my work, I attempt to achieve these ideals through simple, repetitive, and labor intensive projects, which are drawn from the fundamental processes of science and mathematics: quantification, addition, division, measurement, mapping, and reproduction. The resulting processes - which range from the drawing of perfectly straight lines to the mapping of language and the body -are part lab experiment and part meditation. The work is produced as I attempt to perform these processes over and over again using only my hands, eyes, and basic tools. The resulting object stands as a record of my process of striving to achieve perfection, and having that desire frustrated over and over, despite the knowledge that the ideal was unachievable to begin with."

|Meconium-stained amniotic fluid--perinatal outcome and obstetrical management in a low-risk suburban population.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 16837118 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|OBJECTIVE: To determine whether amniotic fluid (MSAF) affects obstetrical interventions and immediate perinatal outcome in a low-risk suburban population. STUDY DESIGN: A retrospective cohort study examined 11,226 deliveries at Tübingen University Hospital (1998-2003). Thousand one hundred and twenty-three women (10%) had MSAF during labor. A control group of matched pairs was created, assigning to each patient the next woman that gave birth without MSAF. Exclusion criteria were: gestational age less than 37+0 weeks, primary Cesarean (C-)section, multiple gestation, severe maternal disease, preeclampsia and fetal malformations. RESULTS: Only small differences were noted between the meconium and non-meconium groups with regard to arterial pH and Apgar scores: mean arterial-pH was 7.26 (+/-0.7) for both. Five minutes Apgar scores <6 occurred in 0.9% versus 0.4%. Obstetrical interventions were more common in the meconium group: C-section rates were 17.4% versus 9.6%, vaginal operative delivery rates 13.9% versus 6.2% and scalp pH rates 9.5% versus 3.7%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: In a low-risk suburban population the effect of MSAF on the newborn during the immediate postpartum period was small. However, obstetrical management was significantly effected by the presence of MSAF, possibly reflecting a combination of more difficult labor and a lower threshold for obstetric intervention.

Dana White: Ronda Rousey is going to be a big star

Rowdy all the way! better for the sport too.
3/7/12 10:45 PM by Jay-dog
Theres a long list of fighters who took repeated punches from Cyborg before they were finished in the second or third rnd. Ronda could certainly take some punches coming in and have no problem getting the fight to the ground. From there it would be the same story. No one in WMMA has the skill set to end a fight as quickly and in as devastating fashion as Ronda.
3/7/12 10:26 PM by rsong7766
I agree. RR's ground game puts a lot of dudes ground game to shame. Cyborg could beat RR, but not sure if off the roids--she's def the poster child for roid abuse. Deep voice, masculine features, ripped like C.Kongo. If she comes in "magically" slimmer and softer looking--she's in a world of pain.
3/7/12 9:39 PM by Thacommish
could cyborg beat rousey... probably... could she make weight to actually challenge for rouseys belt? lol to that. i dont see what the other option is, make ronda gain weight to fight cyborg for a 1 off fight for a title she was stripped of?lol

and lol at cyborgs stregnth.U mean her designer steroid strength? ya good luck passing another test now that they are hot on her trail.Rousey should demand olympic style blood testing b4 taking the fight. Like mayweather.

To me Cyborgs biggest strength is her ability to bum rush her opponents and fight either against the fence or in the clinch.IMO if Cyborg clinched and tried to out muscle RR she would end up on her back looking at the lights and desperately trying to defend.Tate is an excellent grappler but you could tell she was stunned by RR top game. RR looked like she was training with a gappling dummy.The only way Cyborg could win (provided she even make weight) would be to get her on the fence, tag her, back up and repeat.

You don't know what you're talking about.Major MMA fighters fight on PPV. The companies you mentioned don't give a shit about 300K to 1.5M people watching on PPV, nor do they care about athletes in sports that the sport news/media world doesn't promote freely as it is. Trash talk doesn't have anything to do with anything. The reason big companies give big contracts to star players is because the entire sports industry promotes that player and then the player in turn promotes that product. Nobody really gives a fuck about MMA at any point, and the only time you see a huge national sponsor attach to someone in MMA, like Burger King to Anderson Silva or Gatorade to GSP, it is a situation where that fighter has far greater visibility in a specific market than is typical for an MMA fighter.And I still have no idea why Ronda Rousey can't be a "big star" without having "Nike" plastered on her ass. MMA is still a PPV & cable TV sponsor-driven industry that is basically supported in every aspect by a niche audience; Strikeforce appeals to an even smaller niche audience within that first niche; and women's MMA is probably the smallest little niche within the niche within the niche. All a "big star" in women's MMA needs to do is create enough interest to keep women's MMA alive. If that can happen then maybe it can build enough depth to survive on its own as, once again, a little niche within a little niche. Given that Ronda is talented, polarizing, attractive, exciting, and that she works hard to keep herself relevant & a topic of discussion, she has everything necessary to be a "big star" in women's MMA, and in MMA period.
3/7/12 12:47 PM by MTH
Well, right now, yes. But prior to Cyborg's getting popped for steriods, RR was at 145. Her star was starting to rise and it looked like she was going to be next for Cyborg, but then she said she didn't feel the interest in that fight would be big enough, so she stated her intention to go down to 135, win the belt from Tate in a hugely marketable fight (given their looks), and then go back up to fight Cyborg, which she felt would generate more interest. So far, her plan has worked except for Cyborg getting popped mid-stream, so it looks like Kaufman's on the horizon for the time being. RR looked great at 135, but I expect she'd head back up to 145 if Cyborg comes back, looks good, and tests clean. Alternatively, Cyborg may head down to 135 if the 145 division is just shuttered altogether.So no, I don't think folks are dumb to talk about them fighting.

In this lesson, students will investigate density. Students will:
Essential questions haven't been entered into the lesson plan.
Density: Mass per unit of volume. Density = mass/volume.
Mass: The amount of matter in an object.
Volume: The amount of space occupied by a three-dimensional object.
90 minutes/2 class periods
o cooking oil
o water
o food coloring
o corn syrup
o three graduated cylinders (10- or 25-mL)
o three funnels
o beaker or other clear container
The possible inclusion of commercial websites below is not an implied endorsement of their products, which are not free, and are not required for this lesson plan.
Active Engagement
Explicit Instruction
The lesson begins with a demonstration to capture students' interest, then moves to explicit instruction and examples, and then students work in groups on the lab activity. Students complete a worksheet as a follow-up to the instruction and lab.
To prepare, fill the aquarium at least half full with water. Place a can of cola and a can of diet cola into the aquarium. The diet cola will float and the cola will sink. Be sure to test the cans first. The diet soda should float because it contains aspartame instead of sugar, and less aspartame is needed to sweeten soda than sugar; it will be less dense than the regular cola.
Day 1: Instruction
Show students the cans of soda in the aquarium. Discuss why one soda floats and the other sinks. Encourage students to ask questions and make hypotheses. Accept all explanations at this point. After five minutes, have students write down their explanation as to why the diet cola floats and the cola sinks. From students' explanations, make a statement such as, "We have determined that the reason an object floats has something to do with how much mass it has or how much space it takes up. We will revisit this demonstration at the end of the lesson."
Show students the Density PowerPoint presentation (see S-5-3-3_Density PPT in the Resources folder). Have students write down the definition of density and the density equations. As you progress through the presentation, guide students step-by-step through each of the example problems.
Hand out copies of the Density Worksheet (see S-5-3-3_Density Worksheet and KEY in the Resources folder). Have students work in pairs to complete the worksheet. Then, go over each of the problems step-by-step with the whole class.
Ask students to write a new explanation about the cola and diet cola cans, using the words mass, volume, and density. Have volunteers measure the mass of each can and calculate the density (the volume of each is 355 mL). The density of the diet cola will be less than 1.0 because it floats, and the density of the cola will be greater than 1.0. Have several students share their explanations. Then, explain that water (at room temperature) has a density of 1.0 g/cm3. Objects and liquids that are denser than water will sink and objects that are less dense than water will float.
Day 2: Liquid Layers Lab
To prepare, gather the materials for each group of students for the Liquid Layers Lab. Students will not know the identities of the three liquids, so prepare unlabeled containers of oil, corn syrup, and colored water.
As a warm-up, have students answer the following questions:
Which has greater density…
Go over the answers to the warm-up, and correct misunderstandings as needed.
Divide students into lab groups and hand out the materials and copies of the Liquid Layers Lab worksheet (S-5-3-3_Liquid Layers Lab.docx). Go over the lab procedure with students, and then monitor the groups as they conduct the lab. Have students clean up all materials, and then go over their conclusions, revealing the identities of the unknown liquids. Collect the lab worksheets.
As a follow-up to the lab, assign the worksheet Densities of Common Substances for homework (S-5-3-3_Densities of Common Substances and KEY.docx).

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - John Salmons had 22 points, and Jason Thompson and Marcus Thornton each added 20 to help the Sacramento Kings snap a four-game losing streak with a 121-110 victory over the New Orleans Hornets on Wednesday night.
The Kings led by 17 at the half and surpassed the 100-point mark early in the fourth quarter when they stretched the lead to 28 points against the struggling Hornets.
The victory halted a season-high five-game home losing streak for the Kings, who have a 20-20 record at Sleep Train Arena. The Kings haven't had a .500 or better home record since the 2007-08 season when they went 26-15.
Isaiah Thomas had 15 points and DeMarcus Cousins 11 for the Kings.
Eric Gordon scored 23 points for the Hornets.

Mitt Romney's campaign for president appears to have quietly abandoned its guiding assumption, that the election would center on the struggling economy, and has visibly begun to feel for a new message.
Romney and — particularly — his running mate Rep. Paul Ryan, have spent a week road-testing alternatives, going positive and going negative, swinging at the president on everything from faith to foreign policy. The new efforts mark a shift from a summer of fruitless discipline and a convention in which attempts to present a friendly, moderate tone trumped any policy substance. And campaign planners said their moves mark a new campaign consensus.
"No one in Boston thinks this can only be about the economy anymore," one top aide said last week. "The economy narrows the gap and puts us in contention, but we have to bring more to the table."
The core factor in the search for a new message, aides say privately, was the August jobs report. The anemic job growth was widely viewed as bad news for Obama even as the unemployment rate dropped due to people leaving the workforce. But the national shrug confirmed Romney campaign concerns that the most visible economic indicator would remain muddled through Election Day.

By Jon Campbell, Albany Bureau
ALBANY -- The chair of the state Senate's energy committee said Tuesday he will introduce a set of bills that would provide a tax break and a loan program for coal-fired plants that switch to cleaner-burning fuels like natural gas.
Sen. George Maziarz, R-Newfane, Niagara County, outlined a series of bills he plans to pursue during next year's legislative session, including one that would allow plant operators to take a 12.5 percent tax credit if they upgrade their facility to comply with environmental standards laid out in the state's new power-plant siting bill.
The planned bills would also make changes to the state's Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative program, allowing plants to take the money they pay for carbon credits and use it to transition to renewable energy or a cleaner fuel. As it stands, that money is earmarked to promote green energy investments in New York.
Maziarz outlined his plan prior to a hearing in western New York on power transmission issues in the state. In particular, the legislation is aimed at a number of struggling coal plants that represent a large share of their community's tax base, such as the former AES facilities in Niagara County and Lansing, Tompkins County.
"That's really what the hearing is about today, is not giving up on these plants," Maziarz said in a telephone interview. "Most of them are coal plants. They can be converted to natural gas plants, and the price of natural gas is the cheapest than its probably been since the mid-1980s."
The cost of the plan to the state, however, wasn't immediately clear. But Maziarz contended that allowing the coal plants to close -- the Niagara County plant is by far the largest county taxpayer, for example -- would be a much greater cost.
The bills will be introduced for the next scheduled legislative session, according to Maziarz' office. The next session is currently set for January, though lawmakers could return after Election Day.
Rich Azzopardi, a spokesman for Gov. Andrew Cuomo, said the governor's office would review Maziarz' plan.
What to do with the limping coal plants was a late-session topic of conversation in Albany earlier this year, when Cuomo's office quietly pushed a proposal in June that would have lowered the state's emissions cap. That would likely increase the cost of carbon credits, and the state would have then taken those additional funds and distributed them to communities dealing with a power-plant closure.
Cuomo's leaked proposal was praised by environmentalists but knocked by the coal-plant operators, who said the additional costs could force them to shut their doors. The Cayuga Operating Company, which now owns the former AES Cayuga plant in Lansing, filed paperwork earlier this year that gives them the option of mothballing their facility in January.
Ross Gould, air and energy program director for Environmental Advocates of New York, said it is difficult to respond to Maziarz' plan without seeing the specifics of the legislation.
"The state simply cannot afford any more handouts to big polluters when limited funds are better utilized funding energy efficiency programs that create new jobs," Gould said in a statement.
Maziarz also said he would push a bill that would require any out-of-state power being imported into New York to purchase carbon credits through the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, a multi-state pollution-reduction program in which New York participates.
The senator has been an outspoken critic of the Champlain Hudson Power Express project, which would transfer power from Canada to New York City through an underground power line under Lake Champlain and the Hudson River.
"We can maintain and create thousands of jobs in New York's power sector, rather than turning to imported power that creates jobs in Canada," Maziarz said. "This is a critical choice and one that we simply must get right."

|Allomonal and hepatotoxic effects following methyl eugenol consumption in Bactrocera papayae male against Gekko monarchus.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 11471947 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|Methyl eugenol (ME), is converted into two major phenylpropanoids, 2-allyl-4,5-dimethoxyphenol and trans-coniferyl alcohol, following consumption by the male fruit fly Bactrocera papayae. Chemical analysis of wild male B. papayae rectal glands, where the compounds are sequestered, revealed the presence of ME metabolites in varying quantities. These phenylpropanoids are shown to be involved in the fruit fly defense both in no-choice and choice feeding tests against the Malayan spiny gecko, Gekko monarchus. After being acclimatized to feeding on fruit flies, geckos consumed significantly fewer ME-fed male flies than controls that consumed all the ME-deprived male flies offered throughout a two-week period. Diagnosis of dissected livers from geckos that consumed ME-fed male flies revealed various abnormalities. These included discoloration and hardening of liver tissue, whitening of the gallbladder, or presence of tumor-like growths in all geckos that consumed ME-fed male flies. Control geckos fed on ME-deprived male flies had healthy livers. When given an alternative prey, geckos preferred to eat untreated house flies, Musca domestica to avoid preying on ME-fed fruit flies.

Miracle Oil
Speaking as a Malaysian Chinese raising an American daughter with a Caucasian wife, I have to say it makes me immensely proud to see my little munchkin reaching for my good ole' Minyak Angin Cap Kapak whenever she complains of a tummy ache.
There are many things my little girl will never understand or know. Things of my heritage. But she seems to have picked this up on her own (as mom absolutely abhors the smell).
Ah, the minyak angin (literally 'wind oil', or camphorated oil) is something every Chinese household would never be without.
We've used it for migraines, gastroenteritis, nausea, sprains.
Heck, I bet it'd even work for my diabetes or thyroid patients!
It's like the miracle oil. I've even seen people ingest this when they're ill (I wonder if that high school friend who routinely did that is still alive?)
It reminds me of Toula's father's obsession with using Windex, in My Big Fat Greek Wedding.
Now, I wonder if there are published randomized controlled trials out there?

On a recent Tuesday morning, Cecelia Hart shows a group of developmentally challenged adults how to make a Christmas ornament. The decoration is simple, just pipe cleaner and small colored beads. But the act of making it is significant.
"It's theirs. It's not something somebody else created. They are proud of it," said Hart said. "They also learn to follow directions and problem solving skills."
For the past four decades, Cecelia Hart has touched the lives of special-needs children and adults through her volunteerism and employment.
Rockdale County recently recognized Hart's efforts working with the special needs population by awarding her the first-ever Rockstar Award. The Rockdale County Rockstar Award is designed to honor those residents who show extraordinary leadership, community involvement and educational interest, and who have accomplished a unique or heroic act.
Rockstar Committee Chairperson Lamar Sims said the
committee chose Hart from six nominees. He said the committee witnessed the "devotion and love for what she does" when they observed Hart working with the developmentally challenged.
"From that moment on, I was in love with her," Sims said.
Hart volunteers between 20 and 30 hours a week aiding the special-needs community, whether it's in planning, fund raising or coaching for Rockdale Special Olympics or visiting one of four day centers for the developmentally challenged.
Hart is also employed part-time by the day centers that serve the developmentally challenged, including Our Place, I Sign For You, and United Cerebral Palsy, all in Rockdale, and Independent Enterprises in Newton County.
"After my family, they come first," said Hart, who has also served on the Rockdale Cares Board, an organization which provides support for the developmentally challenged, for five years.
She said she considers the people she helps her friends and that she tries to give them the attention they deserve, as they are often overlooked by mainstream society.
"There are so many things I enjoy. It's the unconditional love. When you work with them, it's acceptance, it's a willingness to learn, to take people at face value rather than looking into hidden meanings and agendas. They take you for what you're worth," Hart said.
"They don't look at you for what you can do for them, but what you can do for them is appreciated and accepted. They're non-judgemental."
Over the past eight years since Rockdale Special Olympics has been under her leadership of Hart, the program has not only increased the number of participating athletes from 30 to 250, but has also expanded the sports choices. Athletes may choose from basketball, bocce ball, softball, bowling, aquatics, golf, floor hockey and track and field.
In October, Hart and 82 others, including 30 athletes plus coaches and volunteers, traveled to Statesboro for the Fall Games, a weekend-long event.
"It offers them an outlet for their talent for sports they don't get to do in school," said Hart. "They have the opportunity to be successful no matter what they're doing."
Hart encourages other community members to volunteer, especially with the developmentally challenged population. Bake a cake and bring it to a center, she said, or bring some art supplies and lead a drawing session.
"It's the most satisfying thing in the world because there's so many things you can do," she said.

For me, Superstorm Sandy has proven to be a massive inconvenience of the most disheartening kind: my longtime neighborhood of Red Hook, Brooklyn was rocked hard by Sandy. With no power, heat, or gas for the unforeseeable future, I don't know when or if I'll be able to return home (this post is being written from a friend's apartment).
I, unlike some of my neighbors, managed to dodge a massive bullet, as the floodwaters didn't reach my actual fourth-floor walk-up apartment. Aside from the contents of my fridge, my loss of possessions is relatively minimal.
And from the waterlogged rubble, a spirited community-born recovery effort in Red Hook has emerged. Huge swaths of the historic waterfront enclave famed for its "idiosyncratic separateness" as this somewhat cliche-ridden TIME article puts it, may been wiped out by Sandy but this is one neighborhood that's refusing to play the role of victim. Red Hook will be reborn.

|Heart rate and blood lactate responses during exercise in preparation for eventing competition.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 12405674 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|The aim of this study was to investigate the heart rate and blood lactate responses to exercise in event horses in normal training, and to compare them to those encountered in eventing competition. It was hypothesised that the responses during exercise in the course of training for CCI*** events would be significantly different from those of the Cross-Country day. Heart rates and blood lactate concentrations were measured in 13 elite event horses after intense exercise sessions conducted during the late stages of preparation for CCI*** or CCI**** 3-day-event competition. Mean +/- s.d. heart rate during exercise was 138 +/- 17 beats/min and mean blood lactate concentration after exercise was 1.0 +/- 0.6 mmol/l. These values were compared to heart rates and blood lactate concentrations recorded during and after a CCI*** Cross Country course using unpaired t tests (unequal variances) and 99.9% confidence interval analysis. Mean heart rates during and blood lactate concentrations after the competition were 195 +/- 8 beats/min and 10.2 +/- 4.2 mmol/l. The 99.9% confidence intervals were 183-207 beats/min and 7.7-12.6 mmol/l. Heart rates and blood lactate concentrations recorded during exercise sessions were significantly lower than competition values (P<0.001) and lay outside 99.9% confidence intervals for most horses. Only one horse achieved heart rates and blood lactate concentrations during exercise sessions that were similar to those occurring in competition. The intensity of exercise during normal training sessions was much lower than during competition, suggesting that many event horses are not appropriately trained.

DeShone's focus stayed on Central as Jimtown job came open
"Doing that was never on my mind," he said of the possibility of returning to the Jimmies rather than joining the Blue Blazers.
When Randy DeShone landed at Elkhart Central as boys basketball head coach earlier this week, it happened to occur less than one week after his former coaching job flew open.
So, was there any chance DeShone would chase his ex-job — the one he knew intimately and seemed to fit ideally, the one located where his son was already playing, the one that still had his imprint all over the feeder program — rather than continue to pursue the Blue Blazer position?
"Doing that was never on my mind," DeShone said after accepting the Blazer post. "I interviewed at Central before (Ron Dietz stepped down at Jimtown), and my focus was on Central. I'm thrilled to be coaching at Elkhart Central."
DeShone was head coach of the Jimtown Jimmies for 20 years. He's had three children graduate from Jimtown schools, and that aforementioned son, Adam, just completed his sophomore year with the Jimmies. Adam is expected to join his father at Central.
Randy DeShone has always talked glowingly about Baugo Community Schools, its philosophies and all that the school system offers.
So returning to coaching there wouldn't have been out of the question, and when he did leave his coaching position there in 2011, it was of his own accord.
DeShone, who had been a math teacher as well, stepped aside as basketball coach only because he became an assistant principal at the school. Jimtown policy dictates that administrators not be coaches.
"I've learned under a fantastic administrator," DeShone said this week, referring to principal Jeff Ziegler, "and could not have asked for more from the people there, but I always have loved coaching and teaching."
Besides coaching basketball at Central, he'll also return to the classroom, teaching math.
And sometime during the coming season, though the official schedule is not out yet, he'll coach against Jimtown — at Jimtown.
"That'll be a very unique thing for me," DeShone said. "I've known all those kids as they've grown up and have so much respect for the kids at Jimtown. Dylan Guldager (a Jimmie guard) is like a nephew to me. But we'll go over there and compete, and they'll compete."
The irony is that by the end of next season, DeShone will have already faced Jimtown more times than he's ever faced Central. That's because the schools had not met since 1987-88 before agreeing to begin a regular-season series that started last winter.

Militia leader sentenced in grenade case
A self-described militia leader will spend a year and a day in prison for making grenades that he said were to fight off a communist invasion.
Kenneth B. Kimbley Jr., 60, was given an exceptionally low sentence this week in U.S. District Court in Coeur d'Alene after his public defender described his health problems, which include lung cancer. He'll be on home detention for one year after his release, serve three years probation and is to perform 100 hours of community service.
Federal prosecutors had requested he be sentenced to 46 months in prison for amassing a a weapons collection at his property at 28128 Highway 4, just south of Spirit Lake, where he was arrested on July 3, 2010, while making grenades with other militia members.
He pleaded guilty in November to unlawful possession of a firearm and attempt to make a firearm in violation of the National Firearms Act.
Kimbley had previously discussed bombing local bridges with an undercover federal agent and made threatening statements toward President Barack Obama, according to court papers, but his lawyer, Kim Deater, said he never threatened anyone and was simply saying things similar to what his idol, Glenn Beck, says.
Codefendent Steven E. Winegar, 52, of Harpster, Idaho, was sentenced last month to eight months of house arrest and five years of probation for illegal possessing a .45 pistol.
An undercover agent had been tracking the men through their militia ties since at least October 2009, when he first saw Kimbley with an AK-47 equipped with an electronic optical sight and bought a .22-caliber Ruger handgun from him.
Kimbley was convicted of felony aggravated assault in 2004, which means he's prohibited from possessing firearms.
Retired Spokesman-Review reporter Bill Morlin covered Kimbley's sentencing for the Southern Poverty Law Center. He reports that Judge Edward Lodge said it was "far-fetched" to think the arsenal of weapons and homemade bombs "would have any impact one way or another if there was an invasion from a communist country." Read Morlin's story here.
Man gets house arrest in grenade case
A North Idaho man who was arrested as part of a federal probe into illegal explosives manufacturing in Spirit Lake will be on house arrest for eight months and probation for five years.
Steven E. Winegar, 52, of Harpster, Idaho, was sentenced Monday in U.S. District Court in Coeur d'Alene, where Judge Edward Lodge cited his lack of criminal history, military service and the cost of caring for his medical and mental conditions when imposing the light sentence, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office.
Winegar pleaded guilty in December to illegal possession of a firearm for a .45 pistol he possessed on July 3, 2010, when FBI agents raided a trailer in the Spirit Lake area owned by Kenneth B. Kimbley, Jr.
Agents seized hand grenades, firearms and more than 10,000 rounds of rifle ammo from the property at 28128 N. Highway 41.
Kimbley, 59, is prohibited from possessing firearms because of a previous felony conviction. His lawyer said Kimbley never threatened anyone but feared a communist takeover and was inspired by his idol, Glenn Beck.
Kimbley pleaded guilty in November to attempting to make explosive devices and illegal possession of a firearm. Sentencing is set for August 8.
Militia man guilty in Idaho grenade case
A self-described militia leader pleaded guilty this week to federal gun charges connected to a grenade manufacturing operation at his trailer in Spirit Lake, Idaho.
Kenneth B. Kimbley Jr., 58, discussed bombing local bridges with an undercover federal agent and made threatening statements toward President Barack Obama, leading investigators last July to seize 20,000 ammunition rounds and several firearms from Kimbley's property, where he and other suspected militia members gathered to construct grenades, according to court documents.
Kimbley, who remains in federal custody, pleaded guilty to Monday to unlawful possession of a firearm and attempt to make a firearm in violation of the National Firearms Act. He faces up to 10 years in prison when he's sentenced Feb. 22.
"There was no plea deal," said Assistant U.S. Attorney Traci Whelan.

Glenn Beck inspired alleged grenade maker
A Spirit Lake man accused of making grenades in his home over the Fourth of July weekend fears a communist takeover but has never threatened anyone, his lawyer said in recently filed court documents.
Though federal agents have emphasized statements Kenneth B. Kimbley, Jr., 58, made about militias and his dislike for President Barack Obama, the suspect "made absolutely no threats to harm anyone at anytime," according to court documents prepared by Kimbley's public defender, Kim Deater.
Kimbley is appealing a U.S. magistrate's decision to keep him in jail before his trial, currently set for late November, saying he poses no threat to the community.
"In fact, everything said by Mr. Kimbley is no different than what his idol, Glenn Beck, typically states on the air and is protected free speech."
Deater writes that though Kimbley was "frequently baited" by an undercover agent, he and his friends "simply discussed their concerns of a communist takeover and the need to be prepared to defend themselves and the country if in fact a takeover occurred."
Deater points out that Kimbley was not charged with making threats or with unlawful militia activity.
Instead, he's charged with unlawful possession of a firearm and one count of making a firearm in violation of the national firearms act.
The first charge stems from Kimbley, prohibited form possessing firearms because of a felony conviction, allegedly selling an undercover agent a .22 caliber handgun in October 2009.
The second stems from his arrest on July 3, when federal agents found grenade component in his home at 28128 Highway 41. Steven Eugene Winegar, 52, also is charged.
Deater described Kimbley as "a hardworking, taxpaying citizen" who's lived in the area for 30 years and worked as a truck driver for the last four. He's concerned his wife may be homeless in the next few months because of financial problems.
U.S. Magistrate Mikel H. Williams allowed Winegar to leave jail before trial but ordered Kimbley held without bail. He rejected Kimbley's appeal Sept. 9, but Kimbley filed another appeal Sept. 16.
No hearing has been scheduled.

Idaho raid seizes grenades, guns, ammo
Two North Idaho men are in custody following an undercover federal probe into illegal explosives manufacturing that included the seizure of hand grenades, firearms and more than 10,000 rounds of rifle ammo.
Kenneth B. Kimbley, Jr., 58, (right) and Steven Eugene Winegar, 52, were arrested Saturday on federal firearms charges after agents with the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms found grenade components at Kimbley's home at 28128 N. Highway 41 in Spirit Lake, according to documents filed in U.S. District Court in Coeur d'Alene.
Winegar told an undercover agent "he had 12 to 14 of these destructive devices at his own residence in Harpster, Idaho," according to the documents.

Super Digest Reviews
I tell everyone I know with digestive problems, friend or foe!Review by Harolene - Submitted on 1/12/11Would you recommend this product to a friend?I have suffered severely from Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) for a few years now. It went undiagnosed for a couple of years, which allowed me to get in a horrible state. I actually developed something called Hyperventilation Syndrome as a result of GERD. I won't get medical or technical, but I would attempt to eat certain foods which would result in my windpipe closing, and I would literally gasp for air. For the past few years, I have used every type of prescription and over-the-counter medicines available for reflux and GERD. As long as I watched what I ate very, very carefully I was "semi-okay" most of the time. I could not eat chocolate, dairy, sugar, anything acidic, spicy, fried or even really overeat without paying a horrible price (severe stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, etc. You get the idea). I ate a lot of rice and plain meat. I learned crackers and ginger ale were my friends.Definitely
In April of 2010, an acupuncturist, who would occasionally treat my reflux, recommended Super Digest and the rest, as they say, is history! In the beginning, I sometimes took as many as 3 before and 3 after a meal, as well as 1-2 at bedtime. It did take a couple of months for the remarkable progress to be evident, but let's remember where I started from. I now eat anything, and I do mean anything I want--chocolate ice-cream, tomato sandwiches, pineapple, french fries, chili...I could go on forever. My mother now takes it, as well as my husband, son, aunt, and some friends. I would be proud to be the poster child for Super Digest. I've actually cried on occasion because I simply was no longer in pain or nauseated on an almost constant basis. Please, please try it! You have nothing to lose! Wishing you all the healing I have experienced!

Stomach ache be gone!Review by Maddy S. - Submitted on 3/1/13
Product RatingSince high school my husband had severe and persistent stomach aches and diarrhea. He sought out medical advice and never got relief. When we met I convinced him to see a chiropractor who practices muscle testing and reflexology. The chiropractor discovered my husband had an intolerance to cheese and was majorly lacking the enzymes needed to digest his food properly. After a couple months of taking 6 Super Digest tablets a day and laying off cheese, he felt a night and day difference. No more stomach aches and no more diarrhea. He has continued to take the enzymes because his body is still not fully recovered but these enzymes have improved his quality of life immensely! We would definitely recommend this supplement.
ThanksReview by Ramona - Submitted on 1/2/12For over 15 years I have used Alka Pan and Super Digest. From time to time I also use other products. Originally I purchased these from my chiropractor, but I moved and now get them directly on-line. Before using these marvelous products I was headed toward very serious digestive problems. I believe Dr. Morter's supplements literally saved me from surgery. It is a pleasure to support a company with such high values. Thank you.
ProductsReview by Joyce - Submitted on 3/1/14
Product RatingI take all 3 of these products (Alka Green, Super Digest and Alka Pan). They have totally eliminated my colon and digestive problems. Won't go a day without them.
Love itReview by Walkerr - Submitted on 1/29/14
Product RatingI love these! My stomach can be very sensitive to pastas and heavy foods. All I have to do is take one or two Super Digest before I eat and I don't feel bloated and sick to my stomach. Sodas also upset my stomach because of the carbonation but if I take a Super Digest then I can drink one without discomfort. It also works great for movie theater popcorn! I wouldn't trade my Super Digest for anything!!
Supports DigestionReview by Patricia - Submitted on 11/14/13I find this product and its mate for heavier meals (Alka Pan) help with digestive issues. Poor eating habits and aging play havoc with digestion. Try it; you will like it.

Very EffectiveReview by Merleta - Submitted on 9/9/13I have been using Alka Pan and Super Digest for several years at recommendation of Dr. Donovan at Carroll, IA, and find them very effective. I got my husband started this year, as he had a digestive problem, and he has had no problem since.

WonderfulReview by Jean - Submitted on 4/7/13
Product RatingI used to take allergy medicine every day, then I went to a chiropractor who introduced me to Alka Green. Now I rarely take my allergy medicine and hardly catch colds. I also had stomach problems and took Alka Pan and Super Digest. Now I'm so much better!
Thanks ever so much for improving my digestionReview by Caroline - Submitted on 11/28/11I started using Super Digest and Alka-Pan three years ago at the suggestion of my Chiropractor, Dr. K. Clark in Heartland, ME when I was diagnosed with a peptic ulcer. Between these two great products and eating mostly alkaline foods for about 6 months, I was able to heal the ulcer. I do not eat without them and have noticed a marked difference in my digestion when I have eaten and not taken Super Digest before and Alka-Pan after the meal. Thanks ever so much for improving my digestion.

Product RatingWhile my husband and I were on vacation in Italy I seized the opportunity to add Super Digest and Alkadophilus to his vitamin regimen. It changed his tummy forever! He and I love these and all of Dr. Morter's products.
Healthy Tummy!Review by Sustainables - Submitted on 2/5/14
Product RatingI have been using both the Super Digest and Alka Pan for five years now. I started when I had a peptic ulcer and was in a lot of pain. My chiropractor in Maine suggested this combo. I started using them in conjunction with alkaline foods.
A few times in the last few years I have run out and tried a digestive enzyme product from a healthfood store and immediately noticed a difference regarding how my stomach felt and digested food. Proof positive for me that Super Digest and Alka Pan work!
Able to Eat AgainReview by Patsy - Submitted on 9/25/13
Product RatingI had gall stones and had diarrhea after eating anything. I had my gall bladder removed and still had diarhea after eating.
My chiropracter turned me on to Super Digest, and I was able to eat problem free. Super Digest works great.

No on-campus attendance is required. Students complete course work at home or anywhere that is convenient for them. Through application of current computer and communication technologies, faculty, staff, and students maintain contact and interact through the Internet using Desire2Learn (D2L), our learning management software. This program provides one location for students to access course syllabi and readings; receive and submit assignments and projects; complete exams and course evaluations; and interact with classmates and faculty through discussion postings, private mail messages, and real-time chat sessions. The D2L environment is closed, secure and accessible only to students registered in program courses. E-mail is the main method of communication between students and faculty outside of the course environment, with supplementary use of US postal mail, telephone, and fax when necessary.
Instruction is asynchronous. Since D2L is housed on a group of dedicated servers accessible via the Internet, students can access their course materials from anywhere in the world, at any time, as long as the computer they are using has access to the Internet and a standard web browser. The asynchronous nature of our program permits students to read and reply to discussion postings and e-mail messages at their convenience, as opposed to synchronous learning which requires students to be online at a specific time. The use of the asynchronous educational delivery format provides students with greater flexibility than class attendance on-campus. However, prospective students need to be aware that the program and required coursework are not self-paced. Our curriculum is designed so that students enroll in and complete courses each quarter. Courses are structured in a manner determined by both course content and the instructor's educational philosophy.

When eighth grader Abby Lovitt looks out at those pure-gold rolling hills, she knows there's no place she'd rather be than her family's ranch—even with all the hard work of tending to nine horses. But some chores are no work at all, like grooming young Jack. At eight months, his rough foal coat has shed out, leaving a smooth, rich silk, like chocolate. As for Black George, such a good horse, it turns out he's a natural jumper. When he and Abby clear four feet easy as pie, heads start to turn at the ring—buyers' heads—and Abby knows Daddy won't turn down a good offer.
Then a letter arrives from a private investigator, and suddenly Abby stands to lose not one horse but two. The letter states that Jack's mare may have been sold to the Lovitts as stolen goods. A mystery unfolds, more surprising than Abby could ever expect. Will she lose her beloved Jack to his rightful owners?
Pulitzer Prize winner Jane Smiley raises horses of her own, and her affection and expertise shine through in this inviting horse novel for young readers, set in 1960s California horse country and featuring characters from The Georges and the Jewels.
About the Author
JANE SMILEY is the author of many books for adults, including Private Life, Horse Heaven, and the Pulitzer Prize-winning A Thousand Acres. She was inducted into the American Academy of Arts and Letters in 2001.

What do you get when you pair the beautifully eccentric Lana Del Rey with Anthony Mandler, the man behind Rihanna, Jay Z and Taylor Swift's most explosive music videos? Why, a 27-minute biblical-based epic, of course.
That, of course, would be Lana Del Rey's just-released, hotly-anticipated Tropico short film that features Del Rey as Eve. Sounds steamy, huh? Well, it is. There's no making this stuff up: the film opens with a foursome (no, not like that) of actors playing Marilyn Monroe, Jesus Christ, John Wayne and Elvis Presley, followed by an extensive strip club scene. Throughout the juicy film, we hear three of Del Rey's hits: "Body Electric," "Gods and Monsters" and "Bel Air," all from last year's Born to Die album.
Cinematically, it's an incredibly stunning film thanks to Mandler's genius combination of swirling hues and hazy shimmer. And it may be somewhat unconventional as far as music videos go, but, well, welcome to Del Rey's wonderful world of unconventionality.
Watch the full film below!

Tourism students will soon embark on an exciting nine-day trip to Borneo as part of their course. The action-packed tour will give 18 students from the units MTL3700 Business Study Tour and INB5702 International Study Tour valuable insight into their future industry, as well as the chance to experience another culture.
The Borneo study tour is a part of the Faculty of Business and Law's Tourism Program, which is the longest-running program of its kind in Australia. Such study tours have previously been organised for the units, including a trip to Shark Bay in 2005, and a former trip to Borneo in 2006. The tours provide students with first-hand experience of international business operations.
This year's tour will start on Sunday 17 April in Sabah, Malaysian Borneo. Students will visit a wide range of places while there, including:
The Sandakan War Memorial honours the Australian and British prisoners of war who were located in Sandakan between 1942 and 1944. Originally sent there to build an airstrip, the Japanese decided to move 2,000 of the prisoners westward when Allied Forces began to advance toward Borneo in 1944. This move became known as the 'Sandakan Death March', as most of the prisoners died or were killed along the way. With only six Australians surviving, the Death March remains the single greatest atrocity committed against Australians in war.
The students will play a small role in paying respect to these Australians in this year's ANZAC Day Dawn Service, by assisting in the laying of wreaths at the memorial. In addition, the Australian Government Department of Veterans' Affairs will be hosting a workshop for the students on the last day of the tour, entitled 'Sandakan Memorial Park experiences and tourism opportunities'.
Mr Albert Teo, an Adjunct Lecturer in the School of Marketing, Tourism and Leisure at ECU, will also run a workshop for the students in Borneo. Mr Teo is the Managing Director of Borneo Eco Tours and the highly-acclaimed Sukau Rainforest Lodge, where students will stay for part of the trip. Mr Teo has 34 years of experience in the tourism industry, with a special interest in ecotourism, and will share his knowledge of tourism in the Sabah region with the students.
The comprehensive tour has been organised by Professor Ross Dowling, who was recently awarded a Medal of the Order of Australia for his service to the hospitality and tourism industries, education, and to the development of ecotourism.
"The trip will be a huge learning experience for the students, as they immerse themselves in local cultures and work alongside Rungus communities in northern Borneo. Such experiences will include cultural, heritage, eco, wildlife and volunteer tourism, all in a range of third world environments. Previous students said the tour was life-changing and I am sure that the lucky students on this trip will feel the same way when they return," he said.
Local communities in Borneo will also benefit from the visit, through the students' program of volunteer activities, which includes tree planting, donating books to a local secondary school library, and connecting water pipes in three villages. The pipes are part of a well project that was previously started by ECU Tourism students in 2006. $2,000 was raised towards the building of wells in three villages so that the local people could have access to clean drinking water.
The Business Study Tour is anticipated to run in future years with planning in place for a similar tour to Hong Kong, China, in Semester Two, 2012.
