Senior Living: Seniors living longer and healthier lives
Today's seniors are living longer than ever. Decades ago, many seniors lived into their 60s or 70s. Today they are entering their 80s, 90s and beyond. This is largely due to advances in medical care, however, practicing healthy lifestyle choices also contributes to greater longevity. Medical care for chronic diseases helps people to live longer, but not necessarily improve the quality of life during those extra years. Healthy living, on the other hand, can extend your life span and help you to enjoy your longer time on Earth.
Healthy living starts with learning about conditions that cause a negative impact on your life. Major conditions include heart disease, cancer, stroke and diabetes. February is Heart Disease Awareness Month, so there are plenty of opportunities to learn about risk factors, treatments, etc. Understanding cancer risks and signs and screening for them also is recommended. Our previous article covered diabetes and the availability of information and support provided by our two local hospitals. We will cover stroke information in a future article.
While genetics are a factor in the risk of getting these diseases, another strong factor is behavior. Chronic disease killers can strike as a result of what you do, or fail to do, as you go about your life. Practicing a healthy lifestyle makes all the difference in the world. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), nearly 40 percent of deaths in America are related to smoking, physical inactivity, poor diet or alcohol misuse.
Practicing a healthy lifestyle is self-reinforcing. People who are able to control their weight generally accomplish this by staying physically active and getting good nutrition.
Overcoming years of unhealthy habits is extremely difficult to overcome. Starting an exercise program feels impossible when it hurts to move because joints are bearing the burden of extra weight. Smokers find it hard to participate in aerobic activities because they can't catch their breath. The barriers to practicing a healthy lifestyle are tremendous for those who are overweight, smoke or are hung over from a night of drinking.
Attitude and beliefs make a difference. How often have you heard a person say he doesn't want to go to the trouble to lose weight because he might get hit by a bus tomorrow? He brings up the story of Jim Fixx, a marathon runner who maintained excellent physical condition but dropped dead of a heart attack. Then there is the study that shows that rats lived considerably longer on a low-calorie diet. Who wants to live longer if you are starving the whole time?
The lure of having a high quality of life can be an effective motivator to practicing a healthy lifestyle. Those who have shed pounds, quit smoking, cut back on drinking or who become physically active talk about how good they feel after making these changes. They wonder why they waited so long.
Money can be a good motivator too. Remember the saying "health is wealth." Health care costs are going out of control. The price of medications continues to rise. Cutting back on fatty foods and eating oatmeal may help prevent or delay the need to take prescription drugs to lower cholesterol. A gym membership is cheaper than a hospital stay.
No one knows how many years they will live, and living longer is not necessarily better if many of those years are spent battling illness. Increased life span has its pros and cons, but many seniors will agree that quality is more important than quantity. It certainly isn't easy, but adopting a healthy lifestyle will add quality of life to your years.

In Search of Non-violence
A Website on the Life & Mission of
Acharya Vinoba Bhave
World is one family
Jai Jagat
In the 20th Century a frail man named Vinoba Narahar Bhave walked about Seventy thousand kilometers for fourteen years in India and received around forty-two lakh acres (Seventeen lakh hectares) of land in donation for landless farmers. It was a miracle of compassion and love in the history of mankind. Vinoba gave a new dictum to the world.
Science + Spirituality = Sarvodaya (Welfare of all)
Vinoba declared that the days of Religion are over. World will be a family and all narrow boundaries of nationhood, caste, creed will dissolve and people will live in peace with each other. Vinoba's vision is that the days of Politics will be over. With love for one another, people will share all other God's resources like air.
"The age of idol worship is over. Now we are in the era when service to our fellow humans should be considered as service to God. Today's place of pilgrimage is the one that functions as per this maxim. People are today's God and their collective group is our sacred temple".

You have to choose one thing, only one that you could possibly be better at than anyone else in the world to ensure your survival. What would you choose?
Thinking outside the box might, just might lead to not dying, which should always be a favoured option right?
I can whistle loudly through a Polo (you might have to Google that, they're mints).
Distances Raced Running: 5k, 10k, half mara, mara, ultra. Highest position in a race: 1st female overall
Distances Raced Tri: Sprint, Oly, half IM, IM , Double Ironman. Highest position in a race: 2nd female overall
Drinking it gets more respect.
Is that like a Lifesaver? And whistling thru them will ensure your surivival by . . .
I guess it would be cool to be the best at jumping real high.
Yes, when I was in Australia, the closest thing was that...
Your survival is ensured by being the best at 'something' irrespective of how much it might ensure your survival elsewhere.
You just have to be the best at what you do, however relevant or irrelevant you perceive it to be.
You will only survive if you can do something better than anyone else on the planet.
They're mentioned in the song 'Low Budget' by the Kinks- it took me forever before I knew what he was talking about.
mmm polo mints... just thinking about it, that would be really hard to do...
I can... umm... hmm... this is hard...
I am very good at laughing off all the teasing I get for
1) being from the country
2) having a strong accent
3) growing up on a farm
when all I want to do is punch the people that are mocking the things I love most in the world
After thinking on this question the last few days I have come to the conclusion that I would be one of the first people to go unless drinking beer, smoking a cigar, and running are considered a talent.
Sometimes I wrestle with my Demons.
Sometimes we just snuggle.
You thought about this question for days? You have no chance of survival. Give up now.

Ingratiating myself.
Procreation. Given enough time, all of us have a zero percent chance of survival. Defaulting to basic science, the species that survive are the ones that successfully procreate.
Set out running, but I take my time.
It's something I enjoy and if done well, can produce some food for people.

An American cardiologist killed last month in Pakistan in front of his wife and toddler was honored at a memorial in central Ohio.
Police say two gunmen riding a motorcycle shot Mehdi Ali Qamar as his family left a cemetery May 26 after visiting relatives' graves. His wife and son were not harmed. Qamar was from the minority Ahmadi sect.
About 100 relatives, friends and colleagues gathered Saturday in Groveport to remember Qamar of nearby Pickerington. The ceremony in the city southeast of Columbus was held at a Ahmadiyya Muslim Community mosque. Speakers remembered Qamar as a man dedicated ...

St. Matthew Passion is a sacred oratorio written in the Baroque Period by German composer Johann Sebastian Bach. It sets chapters twenty six and twenty seven of the Gospel according to St. Matthew to music for solo voices, double choirs and double orchestra. The now famous and highly regarded music was probably first performed on Good Friday, April 11, 1727 in St. Thomas Church in Leipzig, where Bach was cantor and musical director.
We have the distinct opportunity to hear this stirring and moving music on Palm Sunday, March 24, when the Tuscarawas Philharmonic performs Bach's Baroque Masterpiece at the Performing Arts Center under the direction of Eric Benjamin.
To complement the music, Robyn Martins has worked hard to coordinate a visual display of artwork created by students at Kent Stark and Malone University; and artists Bill Shryock of New Philadelphia and Kyle Valentini of Dover. The works of art were done as a visual response to the aural experience of listening to the music. The artworks will be on display in the Gallery of the Tuscarawas County Center for the Arts during a reception on Saturday, March 23, from 6 – 8 p.m.
They say that listening to classical music can make us smarter…so hey! Let's get our Bach on with the Philharmonic!
Information about the art show can be accessed by visiting www.tuscartcenter.org and information about the concert can be found at www.tuscarawasphilharmonic.org


text: Soda Makers Sue NYC Over 16-Ounce Limit Bloomberg rep calls the lawsuit 'predictable, yet baseless' By Neal Colgrass, Newser Staff Posted Oct 12, 2012 4:48 PM CDT STORY COMMENTS (57) (Newser) – New York City's ban on big sodas may have passed easily, but a coalition of labor and business groups fought back today by filing a lawsuit, the New York Times reports. The suit contends that city officials imposed the 16-ounce limit by "executive fiat" without allowing City Council to pass a vote. The ban—set to start in March—"represents a dramatic departure from the powers traditionally exercised" by New York health officials, according to the lawsuit. A spokesman for Mayor Michael Bloomberg said the Board of Health has jurisdiction over health matters, and obesity kills almost 6,000 New Yorkers every year—so the soda ban "unquestionably falls under its purview." He called the 61-page suit "predictable, yet baseless," adding that it "fortunately will help put an even greater spotlight on the obesity epidemic."

Honeywell redefines handheld scanners, adds Angry Birds capability
Mobile Technology
What if you could take one of those big, bulky, hand-scanner healthcare computers and shrink it down to cell-phone size while building in new smartphone features? Well, Honeywell has done just that with its Dolphin 70e Black enterprise hybrid device.
This pocket-size, ruggedized unit scans barcodes, accesses the Internet, captures data and can withstand drops, dust and submersion in water. And yes, it even functions as a pager and makes phone calls. That means a nurse in a hospital, for example, could downsize to a single device to handle many of her daily communications and data-gathering tasks.
Specs on this unit include: 4.3-inch capacitive-touch display, up to 12 hours of battery life with a user-replaceable battery, a weight of only 7 ounces and a thickness that comes in around 3/4 of an inch. The Dolphin Black will begin shipping with Windows or Android operating systems February 2013. Learn more at www.dolphinblack.com.
Virtual mobile intranet solves BYOD dilemma
IT professionals can create a private communications link that extends managed, secure intranet access to their Apple, Android and BlackBerry mobile users by using Rover Apps. This solution has won approval in the financial and medical markets by enabling cost-effective, bring-your-own-device (BYOD) applications that require anytime, anywhere access to sensitive, centrally stored data. Unlike virtual private networks (VPNs), Rover Apps keeps all mobile devices off the network, giving them access only to specific resources. It provides a single container app that keeps the company's information safe while providing policy enforcement at the application level, rather than forcing policy control on the entire device. Because company information is isolated from other mobile device information and settings, users are free to use their devices for personal apps as well as corporate access.
This solution is available for self-service download at the Rover Apps Store, where users can try it for free.

Paul Menard has 12 starts at Dover International Speedway.
After nearly 34,000 votes were cast around the world for NASCAR regional touring series' 2015 Most Popular Driver Awards, seven drivers (Rico Abreu, Nicole Behar, Jason Hathaway, Rodrigo Marban, Alon Day, Melissa Fifield and Trey Hutchens) earned the ultimate honor from fans.
Dakoda Armstrong and Richard Petty Motorsports have parted ways.
Erik Jones (#4 Toyota Tundra) finished sixth in the November 20th NASCAR Camping World Truck Series season-ending Ford EcoBoost 200 at Florida's Homestead-Miami Speedway.
The fans have spoken; and for Chase Elliott, driver of the No. 9 NAPA AUTO PARTS Chevrolet for JR Motorsports, that means a second consecutive NASCAR XFINITY Series (NXS) Most Popular Driver Award.
Target Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates (TCGRFS) announced today that Chad Johnston has been named crew chief for Kyle Larson and the No. 42 Target team for the 2016 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series (NSCS) season.
Trevor Bayne finished 18th in the Ford EcoBoost 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway after starting 26th. The significance in that stat is that for the 16th time in 36 races, no driver who started 25th or worse managed to finish among the top 10.
Martin Truex Jr. battled an ill-handling car most of the Ford EcoBoost 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway and ultimately finished 12th. As one of the final four Chase contenders, it was enough to put him a career-best fourth in the standings.
Denny Hamlin had a Wiggins clamp fail on his Toyota early in the race, which allowed gear oil to escape. He spent three laps in the garage making repairs, but a rash of early cautions put him back on the lead lap and allowed him to finish 10th in the Ford EcoBoost 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway.
Jimmie Johnson was penalized early in the Ford EcoBoost 400 after a crew member made an illegal adjustment to the right rear of his Chevrolet. A crew member attempted to surreptitiously body slam the quarter panel during a pit stop in front of the right rear tire to make an indentation that would provide greater down force.
Kurt Busch finished eighth in the Ford EcoBoost 400, which was his sixth top-10 finish in the last seven races of the season.
Matt Kenseth finished seventh in the Ford EcoBoost 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway in his return to NASCAR Sprint Cup racing. He was forced to miss the two most recent races due to a penalty.

Monday's second Group A matchday in Trujillo pairs Ghana with Costa Rica and Peru with China. With the teams level on one point and a goal apiece, defeat would all but consign the losers to failure at the first hurdle.
Ghana v Costa Rica: Fight for survival
Ghana boss David Duncan neatly summed up the consequences of the opening matchday stalemate: "It's as if the tournament was starting again from scratch," surveying the Group A standings with all four teams on one point and an identical goal difference. The African championship runners-up lost Mubarak Wakaso to an early sending-off against hosts Peru and conceded the opening goal just a few minutes later, but clawed their way back into the match to secure a reasonable position for their remaining fixtures. The second game will be decisive, Duncan told FIFA.com. "With all of us on one point, this match will be a fight for survival. It'll all be done and dusted before we get into the third game," he forecast. Duncan was unwilling to reveal which of his players would stand in for the suspended Wakaso. "We have plenty of options, so it depends on our tactics for this game."
The Costa Ricans are no tactical novices themselves and go into the meeting with Ghana well aware a point is the very least they will need to preserve their hopes of progressing. Striker Cesar Elizondo made a brief 20-minute appearance towards the end of the opener against China, but is expected to add his dynamic presence to the starting line-up against the Africans. Costa Rica coach Geovanny Alfaro is expecting a tense encounter: "Every game in this group will be tough, and this match against very strong opponents is no exception. I'm expecting a tight and fiercely-contested match," Alfaro told FIFA.com.
Peru v China: Rising expectations for host nation
Peru's 1-1 draw against African runners-up Ghana has prompted a revision of the host nation's aims for the tournament. "We started out with the simple goal of surviving the group, but now we obviously want to achieve the very best we can. Yesterday's match suggests we could even go a little further," Peru coach José Pavoni revealed to FIFA.com.
Pavoni is set to choose tactics designed to neutralise the threat posed by the pacy Chinese. "We'll sit down and analyse our opponents' strengths and weaknesses, and we'll opt for tactics to prevent them playing to their strengths. That should give us a decent chance of winning the match." The 51-year-old was pleased with his players' tenacity and resolve in their opening match, explicitly praising their strength of character in a first outing in front of a large and raucous crowd.
Naturally enough, the Chinese fancy their chances too after the dead heat in the first round of matches, and have no intention of gifting the hosts a vital victory. Coach Zhang Ning's side turned in an impressive first half in the 1-1 draw with Costa Rica, creating a string of inviting openings during the early exchanges. However, China ran up against a physical barrier in the second period as the supply of dangerous passes from midfield slowly but surely dried up. "It's a problem we intend to fix," Zhang informed FIFA.com. "Peru are a good side. They're a dangerous attacking unit, and they work well as a team in this respect." Zhang announced an offensive game plan for the crunch encounter: "We'll go all out for victory. We'll be looking to win the game with attacking tactics," he declared.

What The PPC Marketing Gurus Never Wanted You To Know..
"Classified Document Reveals Top Secret Methods Of Complete PPC Domination That Wipes Out The Competition Before They Even See You Coming.."
As my breath hit the cold air it left evidence of my travels behind me. I was on the run, and tucked under my arm was a folder that had been closely guarded for many years. They didn't want this leaked out to the public, and anyone caught even attempting to read its contents were rarely ever seen again.
I was willing to take my chances.
As I ran through the streets of New York, intent on reaching my destination, I couldn't help but glance over my shoulder every few minutes, knowing that any second now they'd be right on my heels. Surely they discovered the file missing by now and once they did it wouldn't be long before they send their team of men out to find me..
My eye caught an Internet cafe on the corner of 42nd Street . I dove inside and scrambled to the front desk buying some time and being directed to the corner where an old pentium chugged away, it's screen beckoning me over.. it was my only way of ensuring this information was sent to the right person before I, too, disappeared forever.
I looked around the room to make sure no one was paying attention.. seeing only one other in the opposite corner his head down, fingers flying over the keys at an incredible pace, I slid the folder onto my lap, and slowly took out the document. It was certainly aged with its corners tattered .. Still, I knew what this single document was worth, and just how many others before me had tried unsuccessfully to be given the opportunity to merely glance at its contents.
I scanned the pages quickly and emailed them to my source. I knew he would make sure the information was released only to those who would recognize its value and take action so that my efforts weren't wasted.
As the last page was bleeping its way through cyberspace into the email account of my partner .. it happened. First it was one, then three and four... they piled into the small room, arms tucked tightly next to their bodies, signaling for me to step outside.. It was clear to me, I had no choice and if I had any fight left in me, the chrome devices they held firmly within their pockets, pointed my way - reassured me that any effort to escape would have been futile.
Dear Friend,
The day I received the email from my buddy, John, I knew that what he had sent me would change the lives of anyone who read its contents. The information was so exciting that I locked myself in my office for hours, pouring over the pages, nodding to myself as I finally realized just how "they" had been doing it for so very long.
PPC marketing.. the eat or be eaten method of generating traffic, blasting in new subscribers and making an outright fortune from affiliate marketing tactics..
It was no wonder that people were willing to do just about anything to protect this material.. in the wrong hands, or perhaps the right ones, these techniques had the power to take control of the PPC marketplace and the PPC tycoons certainly weren't interested in sharing a piece of the land that they have dominated and controlled for so very long.
There was too much money at stake, and with that kind of wealth comes the obsession in ensuring that no one outside of their little group knew the truth.
My buddy John changed everything that day...
If you are anything like me, you have probably tried the many different PPC methods that are taught in 'mainstream' guides and ebooks. If so, you are aware that these methods rarely ever work, in fact, most of them are filled with deliberate nonsense, designed to keep you distracted while the gurus continue to sneak up behind you, stealing your traffic, jacking your campaign costs through the roof and destroying any hope you had of making a decent living from PPC marketplaces like Adwords or Overture.
And if you are fortunate enough not to have had this experience with PPC marketing yet, and are brand new to the idea of tackling this giant, you don't realize just how much time and money I am about to save you..
Leveling Out The PPC Playing Field..
The techniques that were finally revealed to me were shockingly profitable.. better yet, they were simple to understand even for someone like me, who had never had success with PPC marketing in the past..

I was awestruck at something else, too...
Despite how incredibly simple and fool-proof the techniques are, very few people ever think of implementing them, meaning that while everyone else is being led down a path to nowhere with BS strategies, you (and I) are able to focus on REAL tactics that produce staggering results..
And we can do it at a fraction of the cost that everyone else is paying while they continue to suffer through costly trial & error mistakes, pulling their hair out, screaming at their computer screens and blaming sites like Google for being rip offs simply because their PPC campaigns consistently fail ..
(ppsstt! They will continue to fail as well, without this information in their hands..)
Achieving PPC Results Like This..

I'm very serious.. with the daily threats I have been receiving from the 'big dogs', I am not sure how much longer I can hold them at bay and with the continuous attempts to hack my server, I wouldn't be surprised if they took me down today.. or tomorrow..

Carpenter settlement
COVINGTON — The Newton County Board of Education will pay a top school official and a high school principal nearly $70,000 as part of a settlement.
The Newton County School System released Monday afternoon a settlement agreement between Dr. Dennis Carpenter, deputy superintendent for operations, and his wife LaQuanda Carpenter, principal of Alcovy High School. Last week, NCSS announced that the Carpenters were being released from their contracts that week as part of a settlement.
The Citizen had submitted an open records request for information about the settlement on Wednesday afternoon, after NCSS initially refused to provide further information, saying it was a personnel issue. David Hudson, attorney for the Georgia Press Association, said Thursday that the settlement documents are open records — a case in federal court and one in Superior Court ruled that such documents must be made public.
"The Carpenters shall receive and be paid in lump sum their respective, regular salaries through May 31, 2013, which includes benefits such as health insurance," according to a letter from school board attorney Kent Campbell to attorney Stephanie Lindsey.
NCSS didn't originally provide figures of the settlement in a press release, but later answered a question by the Citizen, stating that Dennis Carpenter's salary from February through May totals $36,760.18 and LaQuanda Carpenter's totals $28,099.44.
Additionally, NCSS will pay its share of the health insurance premiums up to and through June 30, 2013. The family plan insurance costs $3,649.36, according to NCSS.
"This agreements and the payments of the lump sum salaries by NCSS … resolves any and all claims, disputes and/or causes of actions that may have arisen from their respective employment with the NCBOE," reads the settlement letter, which was signed by Campbell, NCSS Superintendent Gary Mathews, both Carpenters and Lindsey on Jan. 22.
In October, LaQuanda Carpenter withdrew a pending lawsuit against Newton County Board of Education Vice Chairman Jeff Meadors. saying it was an effort to end divisiveness in the community. She originally had filed a defamation suit in April naming 11 "John Does" who commented about her on the Newton Citizen website; she later added Meadors and dismissed the others.
"This letter as confirmation of agreement to the terms and conditions stated herein shall not become part of the Carpenter's personnel files, but shall remain confidential not subject to public inspection unless required by court order," the letter continues.
"While the Newton County Board of Education's intent has been to keep confidential the personnel matters that come before the body on a routine basis, in the case of the recent settlement with the Carpenters, and in light of recent open records requests, I believe, on advice of attorney, that it is in everyone's best interest to release the terms of the settlement. Thus, avoiding further time, money, and energy, the settlement is being released," said school board Chair Abigail Coggin in a press release by NCSS Monday afternoon. "The majority of the Board continues to believe it is in the best interest of the school system and the Carpenters to sever the current employment relationship. This way, the school system can get on with the process of finding their respective successors as well as focusing on the education and safety of our students. And the Carpenters can focus on their move to Missouri."
Mathews, who is retiring in July, said last week that he has indicated to the board that the new superintendent should make the recommendation to fill Dennis Carpenter's position or to reorganize departments. Also, Mathews plans to recommend to the school board that acting Alcovy Principal Vic Lee remain at the school for the rest of the school year.
Both Carpenters submitted letters to NCSS requesting release from their contracts on Jan. 22.
"This request comes after much deliberation regarding balancing my responsibilities as a wife, mother and professional," LaQuanda Carpenter wrote. "I will forever be grateful to the Newton County Board of Education for the opportunities that I have been afforded as the principal of Alcovy High School. Furthermore, I sincerely wish the Newton County School System well."
She has been principal at Alcovy High School since 2009 and has been on maternity leave since November.
In December, the Hickman Mills C-1 Board of Directors in Kansas City, Mo., finalized an agreement with Dennis Carpenter to begin as the district's new superintendent effective July 1. He has been with NCSS since February 2008, when he was hired as associate superintendent for Human Resources; he also took leave from NCSS at the end of last year while his wife was on maternity leave.
"Given my upcoming transition to the superintendency in another region of the country, I am requesting to be released from my current employment," Dennis Carpenter wrote. "This request will allow me the time needed to handle all of the personal and professional facets of this transition. If I can be of assistance to the district during this transition period, do not hesitate to let me know. … Furthermore, I sincerely wish the Newton County School System and the children of Newton County the best."

I do believe I would like to see the position paper submitted by Ms. Lindsey. I did not think school system employees were entitled to such settlements if they requested to be released from their contracts. For that matter, I did not think they were entitled to severance pay if they were dismissed from their positions by a local BOE-- unless they filed and won an appeal that is.
I will also be VERY reluctant to vote in favor of the upcoming education SPLOST.
dennistay53 2 years, 9 months ago
This proves it has all been about money with Lindsey and the Carpenters. The board just gave away $70,000 of hard earned taxpayer money. NEVER,NEVER, NEVER will i vote for a SPLOST for this school system again. I mean why should i support a system that gives money away like this. How much went to Lindsey who IS NOT employed by the school system? They couldn't get money in the civil suit so they found another way. Please join with me in demanding the resignination of all school board members voting for this. Which members did vote for this?
Del 2 years, 9 months ago
So let me make sure I understand this........Mr. Carpenter is leaving and taking his bride with him. They are both under contract however the NCBOE is going to PAY them to abandon the contract!!! What's wrong with this picture? AMAZING
tomgahunter 2 years, 9 months ago
Time to move on...We got our moneys worth getting rid of the Carpenters. We need to be sure the NCBOE hires the best supertendent not the one Eddie Johnson wants.
Personally I will vote against the SPLOT & urge the School Board to withdraw the vote until next year so we can see how the Superintendent's hunt works.
dennistay53 2 years, 9 months ago
@tomgahunter- Time to move on in letting the Carpenters go yes- Moving on from how the board handled this and the secret way they tried to keep this from the citizens of this county- NEVER. We should be told who voted for it and who didn't. It needs to be investigated as to weather any laws or ethics were broken. This sometimes closed up board needs to be opened up and made to understand they work for the citizens of this county and not for themselves or special interest.
jwm1955 2 years, 9 months ago
It's time for SACS to come to Newton County and investigate the great board of education in Newton County. There is a lot s*** going on that does not smell good.
John 2 years, 9 months ago
Guess this means anyone in the NCSS that is under contract can be fully paid for the full term of the contract even if they request to be released from it early. Doesn't sound like real world stuff to me just a way to get apaid without working. I have made major interstate moves (aka transitioning) 5 times in my life. They are actually very simple and not very stressful at all - find a house in another state buy or rent it, sell or rent your existing house, get 3 bids from moving companies (pick the one you are most comfortable with), pack up the kids and go and stay at a Motel 6 (they always have there lights on). Big hints: don't have the movers pack your tooth brush, you will never find it if they do - I learned the hard way and the movers never seem to show up on time for packing the van or at the delivery destination.
Satan69 2 years, 9 months ago
@john you do understand that according to this wonderful corrupt Atty that they have they have been victimized? The funny part of this whole scenario is that they caused all of this themselves but want to blame everyone else. They shouldn't have gotten paid a penny they don't deserve any of this period. What a crock. Great job newton.
John 2 years, 9 months ago
Satan69, I fully understand what has happened here - i will not conjecture as to who or how or where or what or when. But I have been around long enough to see similar situations and concluded that most anyone who is serving out their term whether it bein the private sector, local, fatrenal groups or federal governments, etc., i is highly likely to be a "lame duck" and will do what ever serves their own self interest rather than devote their efforts to fully perform the position responsibilits they were initially hired to do, all the way to the end. But there will be two NO votes on SPLOT for certain from this house.
Frustrated 2 years, 9 months ago
Should it come as a surprise to any of us that the BOE PAID the Carpenters to leave? Was there not a penalty clause in their contracts for early termination? Every contract I have seen from cable TV, cell phone, apartment leases has a clause that imposes a penalty if you end the contract early. So just why are WE paying them to terminate the contracts early? Oh wait, who actually negotiated this deal, Matthews their buddy?
henrystamm 2 years, 9 months ago
I would have loved to have gotten compensation that large for any job that I left. Only this dumb administration can approve that. Yes I forget that it was not their money. Just incredible, only the government compensates failure.
sunshine 2 years, 9 months ago
i don't understand this, so they break their contract and we still pay them $70,000 to leave! I will vote NO to SPLOST cause this is my hard earned $ being paid to for this stupid crap!!. Not to mention i am already paying private school costs because Alcovy is so out of control that i wouldn't let my child go there anyway! Well done BOE!!!!!!
CBSfinder 2 years, 9 months ago
@ frustrated Mathews doesn't care and I think them getting anything was because they knew their only shot was the boe no one else in their right mind would pay these creeps for everything they had done. Its crap all of it. They need to just go now and tell ole steph to leave people alone now.
dennistay53 2 years, 9 months ago
A precedent has been set here that will cost the taxpayers in this county a lot of money in the future. Thank goodness this paper didn't allow then to keep it a secret from us as they intended.
OnToday 2 years, 9 months ago
Reading the original document, it appears as though their attorney Ms. Lindsey tried to suppress this from getting out to the public and some in the NCSS tried as well. Not only would I like to know who voted for this but I would like to know who tried to keep it from the public. Isn't it sad that the newspaper had to hire an attorney to force the system to play by the rules and obey Sunshine Laws? What else are they hiding? It is past time for an independent audit of this system by someone at the state level. Unethical behavior is apparently at an all-time high in this system. Wouldn't it be great if every teacher marched on the central office building with a copy of their contract and demanded a release with compensation? It won't happen though because the vast majority of the teachers in this county do the right thing by their students and don't run when the going gets tough.
ShannonBlack 2 years, 9 months ago
Yes dennistay they are a good paper unlike some that we know and hate. @ sunshine they do a lot of things and get away with it. Like all this other crap that has happened. Im still in shock.
deathtotaxes 2 years, 9 months ago
Isn't it a coincidence that both took maternity leave prior the settlement? How many days have either one of them worked this school year? No way would I pay them a dime. They have both cost Newton taxpayers. The NCBOE is a joke and they should be all fired. Next call is to SACS.
Frustrated 2 years, 9 months ago
Does anyone have a copy of the first letter from Lindsey to the BOE? I would like to see how it was brought about.

Can employees sue the Carpenters if they were harmed by them?
Del 2 years, 9 months ago
Where is Dr. Clamp when we need him?
Inafog 2 years, 9 months ago
Something smells awful about this deal. Since the Carpenters requested to leave their contract early, they should be paid for their accrued time worked, accrued vacation time, and any other "leave" time that has accrued. Not a cent more. If they were fired, then the NCBOE would have the option to extend "separation payments" to the one leaving if they so desired, but certainly not their entire contract plus benefits. Someone needs to take a very hard look at the Newton School System from the top (superintendent) on down the chain of employment. Why not just let Mathews leave now and not risk the "lame duck" argument already presented. Why should he care what the Carpenters are paid to leave as he is leaving as well. Will someone with some business sense please delve into this mess we call a BOE and School System administrators?
Covingtonian 2 years, 9 months ago
I just finished reading the Covington News, the legal organ for newton county and was enlightened as to why the Carpenters were paid. Shannon Black has a lot to do with it and her harassment techniques. I wasn't surprised to learn that she sent emails not only to Alcovy but to other schools in Newton as well as getting in touch with people and at least one news organization in Missouri as late as December 2012. Yes, as has been commented on before the lady, and I use the term loosely, is obsessed. She is the one who should be paying the Carpenters $70,000 to leave since the board seems to be trying to end this ugly chapter in Newton county history. Most of your anger and ill advised comments should also be directed at Black, Satan69 and her other personas since she post under so many names. The lady is obviously sick and refuse to let go even after herself moving to another county. I have never met the Carpenters or their lawyer but all three seem pretty smart to me since they have so far come out ahead in this mess. And citizens of Newton county, I personally wouldn't want to go to any type of trial with Shannon Black as my key witness. And this rag of a paper continues to give her a forum, wake up NEWTON COUNTY smh.
dennistay53 2 years, 9 months ago
@Covingtonian- There is no excuse for the school board to attempt to sneak this settlement by the citizen of newton county. If not for this rag of a paper (as you call it ) we probably would have never known. Your legal organ for sure wasn't going to tell us. If they had so much on the lady you mentioned then why did they drop the suit? Does this mean that everytime someone is critical to someone working for the school - the board is gonna pay a contract off with our tax dollars ? There will always be two sides to a story. How do you know everything you hear from the carpenters and your legal organ is true? There were more making complaints about the carpenters than the person you mentioned above. Wolf, wolf, wolf many times equals a wolf. You are correct that it is time to move on from the carpenters, but not from how the board tried to hide the settlement from the public. By the way i love reading this rag of a paper. You hear both sides and not just the one side the other paper wants you to see.
MamaTurd 2 years, 9 months ago
LaQuanda Carpenter should pay or the board should pay Meadors' legal fees and costs in FULL.
Tatersalad 2 years, 9 months ago
I agree Mr meadors should have his legal fees paid by the carpenters that would only be fair.
Tairuna 2 years, 9 months ago
@covingtonian I'm a little confused why are you pointing the finger at ms black constantly sure she did us all a favor but not all by herself you act like she is some powerful person. Listen she was wronged as well and so was meadors and dockery so I myself think they deserve some compensation as well. You must be for Lindsey and them cause u do everything you can to make ms black center of attention. I'm sure she has had enough.
Calisweetheart 2 years, 9 months ago
I have a solution pay meadors and publically apologize to all 3 of them but I believe that they all deserve compensation.
Frustrated 2 years, 9 months ago
If, as they claim, the Carpernters were being harrassed by Shannon Black then that is a matter between them. The taxpayers shouldnt be footing the bill for this fiasco. Like some others have asked, why did the Carpenters drop the lawsuit if they have proof of the wrong doings? Maybe what was found in discovery by Meadors' lawyer was far worse than what Lindsey could dig up? Either way the citizens of Newton County are the losers. Having to pay them to get out of their contract after putting up with their circus.
Kodaanddylansmom 2 years, 9 months ago
@ frustrated the law suit was dropped because their was nothing no harassment no nothing they all got bent out of shape when black didn't throw meadors under the bus. Their was no reason to since he had nothing to do with it. The tax payers are suffering I agree but not because of ms black because of their own frivolous law suit the filed and it back fired when buttons started getting pushed. I hate that other people are getting blamed and that we are stuck footing the bill for these creeps to leave. Meadors I'm sure has a lot of things in his favor I hope he uses them if he does.
NoSPLOST 2 years, 9 months ago
Newton County IN MY OPINION really won't recover on the school board until Kent Campbell goes away. He has outlived his usefulness and in my opinion wrongly advises the board. He is NOT elected and is not in charge - other way around. Mathews is leaving and that is a good thing. We just got rid of the main two problems and if Kent can pack up and call it a day we can rebuild. Next step - get rid of or make life unbearable for those hired by and protected by the crowd that just left.
Tairuna 2 years, 9 months ago
Vote no on splost.
MamaTurd 2 years, 9 months ago
@covingtonian first of all if the carpenters had nothing to hide they wouldn't of jumped ship so easy, second who cares if Shannon black had something to do with it they harassed her too. Stop whinning and grow up.

Hi everyone, well I thought I would update about Sage. Last week we rode through a very very nasty storm. There was thunder, lightning, wind, rain and hail. I tried parking us behind a pine tree. I looked back over her butt and saw a gray wall of movement coming our way. It was wind, rain and hail. The lightning was all around and we were a ways from the house. So we just rode it out. After the storm passed it turned nice and sunny for the rest of the evening.
The last weekend I went to my first horsemanship clinic. It was put on by Alice Trindle. It was great! Sage's first clinic as well. I was surprised at how calm she was compared to some of the other horses that came. It was a lot of fun and I learned alot. Alice helped me start getting Sage to carry herself and working off her butt more. She also helped me with my posture. I had an injury that caused my right side to weaken alot and I lean that direction. I'm working on always keeping that in mind to try and correct a bad habit.
I plan on going to another Alice Trindle clinic or next year hauling Sage to Eastern Orgeon to a retreat ride on their place. Work with cattle, trail ride and just learn and relax. It was a lot of fun.
Tomorrow I'm going to bathe her and pull her mane. I'd like to clean her up and take some halter pictures of her.
Here are some pictures. Thank-you for looking.
Heading Out For Our Ride.
The Storm After It Passed.

I need to access an authorized(like Basic authentication) page (on another server) from my servlet( not just display the page, yet need to access that server page and can go to next page of that server) without filling the username and passwd dialog.
Now I have an applet in my servlet page, from the applet, I use URLConnection.setRequsetProperty("Authorization", encodedUsername:passwd) to connect to another server by passing the authorization. If the applet cannot pass the authorization, an error page will show message of wrong username and passwd. If the applet can pass the authorization, then I want to go to the specific page of that server. I use showDocument(specificPage), but I cannot pass authorization here. The username and passwd dalog shows up.
If anyone can give an idea how to solve the problem or another approach to fullfil the task, I would be very grateful.

Obama has been beholden to teacher unions — no wonder there isn't education reform
The job of President is a tough one indeed. It involves many priorities and many challenges. As president, Mitt Romney will pursue genuine education reform that puts parents and students' interests ahead of special interests. His reforms will ensure that every child has a chance to receive a quality education in a good school.
Reforming our education system is a top priority here in Colorado. No matter how fast our economy grows or how many jobs we create, if we don't educate our children, our country's young people will not be able to compete on the global stage. We won't be able to pull people out of poverty and into the middle class. And in this election the two candidates have offered clear educational choices.
President Obama often talks about education reform. While those of us who care about the issue appreciate his lip service, there is much more to be accomplished. We haven't seen the results that we had hoped for, and
President Obama has been the beneficiary — throughout his political career — of support from teacher unions. In 2008, these unions poured over $50 million into efforts to elect President Obama and the Democratic Congress. They have endorsed Obama's reelection and have taken additional funds out of teachers' paychecks to fund his campaign. These same union leaders oppose many of the reforms that are critical to fixing our broken education system. President Obama is beholden to this special interest group and as such is not in a position to effect real and substantial changes that union leadership oppose.
Mitt Romney is committed to reforming education in a way that will give children the skills they need to succeed in a global economy. His approach involves two key reforms. Reward good teachers for their efforts and talents. Give youngsters the freedom and opportunity to attend good schools, no matter what their background or what they live.
We all know that schools are only as good as the teachers who teach in them. So it makes sense that our education system should encourage the best and brightest to enter the teaching profession and reward those who do. That means removing unnecessary obstacles to certification. It means block granting existing funds to states that encourage and reward the best teachers. Teaching is an honorable profession and should be treated as such.
But reform doesn't end with teachers. It must also focus on the needs of students. We need to do more than pay lip service to children in poverty and to special needs students. Their parents have the same hopes and dreams for their children as you and I have for ours. By allowing families to choose their own schools and to use funds allocated to them to do so can go a long way to break the cycle of poverty. No child should succeed or fail solely based on his or her zip code.
By combining high standards, accountability, and great teaching along with Governor Romney's bold plan to increase school choice and reward good teachers, families will have more control over their children's education and ultimately, their future.
Sen. Nancy Spence currently represents Senate District 27 in Arapahoe County. A Republican, Spence is term limited and not seeking reelection.

Fantastic campsite. Myself and my friend worked there for British companies back in 2007. The site is still as excellent although the discoteca has become much worse! Full of children! Pools and restaurants excellent still. Lisanne in reception was really helpful as hostelworld.com had not informed the campsite of our booking. Lisanne arranged for us to stay in the villa for the same cost. Thank you

The recent storms have me frightened about the requirement for all TV signals to go digital (instead of analog) in February, making current TVs obsolete. Due to a slick salesman's pitch and lack of interruption of cable service for a while, we took a chance on combining the phone with cable. Big mistake. The cable went out, so the phone went out. The power was out, and the cell phone needed recharging. Therefore, we were cut off from all communication.
We couldn't report the cable outage (no phone). We had no weather reports (no cable). At least we had a battery-run TV. It will soon be useless.
What will happen when all hard-wired analog phone lines and TV signals are forced to go digital? It takes sophisticated cables, computers and satellites to keep digital going, and we've all experienced how good that can be.
I'm afraid communications are stepping backward as safeguards are slowly being eliminated. To rely solely on this technology is scary, to say the least.
I, for one, will pay a little more to have my phone and TV separated again as soon as my contract has expired.

NPD: PlayStation 3 sales fall shorter than expected
updated 03:10 pm EST, Fri December 8, 2006
PS3 Sales Fall Shorter
Sony failed to meet its already lowered expectations for PlayStation 3 shipments when it launched the console on November 17th, according to an NPD report obtained by Bloomberg. Despite reducing its forecasted shipments to 400,000, Sony is said in the report to have shipped only 197,000 systems in its North American launch and is likely to fall far short of the 1 million units promised by the end of 2006. The company's game system has been plagued by numerous technical problems relating primarily to the Blu-Ray optical drive at its heart, cutting the number of useful systems the company can sell.
Other consoles fared much better, NPD says. Nintendo's Wii sold 476,000 during November, while the Xbox 360 in fact led sales figures with 511,000 systems sold in the month, buoyed in part by sales of the heavily promoted Gears of War. Both Microsoft and Nintendo are said to be thrilled with the response to their less expensive systems and are preparing for the possibility that they will sell more than first anticipated for the holiday.

Eating Kentucky Fried Chicken is a Christmas Tradition for Many Japanese
Today I found out Kentucky Fried Chicken is a Christmas tradition for many Japanese.
So how exactly did Christmas, the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ, become synonymous with a bucket of fried chicken in the land of the rising sun? Well for one, Christmas wasn't really celebrated at all historically in Japan and has only relatively recently been adopted. The Japanese predominantly followed the Buddhism and Shinto religions, so Christmas was essentially adopted from the West and holds no religious significance to many Japanese, even today.
In fact, Christianity was actually banned throughout Japan in the 1600s and continued to be so until the mid 1800s. However, during this period, a small enclave group of Japanese Christians, known as 'Kakure Kirishitan' ("hidden Christians") continued the missionary work of Saint Francis Xavier who arrived in Japan in 1549. After a period of underground practices of Christianity, the religion along with Christmas practices, reemerged somewhere between 1868 and 1912. It wasn't long after that many Japanese started to mirror Western Christmas traditions like exchanging gifts, decorating trees, putting up lights, etc, even though it was not a national holiday in Japan.
According to KFC, this particular unusual Christmas tradition is said to date back to the 1970's when supposedly a customer at the chain's Aoyama store observed that, in a land bereft of the customary turkey for celebratory dinner, fried chicken was the next best thing. This idea eventually percolated up to the corporate offices of KFC and prompted the company to start a huge advertising campaign in Japan called "Kurisumasu ni wa kentakkii!" (Kentucky for Christmas!) in 1974, which became ludicrously popular thanks to this campaign and the popularity of American culture in Japan at the time.
KFC or just 'Kentucky' as the Japanese refer to it, has milked this Christmas tradition in the country ever since, and even portrays their founder and well known icon, Colonel Sanders, as the Father of Christmas, dressing statues of him outside every KFC in Santa suits. Colonel Santa!
The custom of eating KFC for Christmas is so popular in Japan that you'll not only see lines of people snaked outside every branch in the country, but people even reserve their buckets of chicken months in advance just to see it on their dinner tables on Christmas!
Bonus Facts:
- The Japanese custom of a KFC Christmas doesn't come cheap, their Party bucket which is just an 8 piece Chicken bucket (all dark meat pieces), 5 fried chicken breast strips seasoned with soy sauce and garlic, a salad and chocolate cake costs around 3880 Yen, which is around $46
- Colonel Sanders is somewhat of a cult figure in Japan. Not only is there a life-sized statue of the Colonel in front of most KFCs in Japan, but his memorabilia, like wind-up toys and figurines, can be found at many toy stores throughout Japan.

I've lived and worked in a lot of cities: Toronto, Los Angeles, San Francisco, London, to name a few. My last real "job", before returning to my hometown of Vancouver to become an independent web developer, was with Expedia in Seattle. I love Vancouver, and I love Seattle. But despite people consistently throwing them into the same boat and saying things like "they're basically the same", they're not. They're not the same. Aside from being Pacific Northwest cities and a populous with a proclivity for yoga, hiking, and not working too hard, they're very, very different. I'd like to describe why.
Seattle has an Economy
People move to Seattle to make money. People move to Vancouver when they've already made it. That about describes it.
Some of the world's largest and most innovative companies call Seattle home. Boeing, Starbucks, Microsoft, Amazon, Nordstrom, Costco, T-Mobile (US) are all companies based in the greater Seattle area. All this commerce creates with it a cascading set of high-end professional service businesses like patent law firms, venture capital, investment banks, and lobbyists. If you're young and have a good college degree, it's not a stretch to be making six-figures with a few years of experience under your belt.
What's the biggest company in Vancouver, on the other hand? BC Hydro - a crown utility. What's the most well-known tech company in Vancouver? Probably Hootsuite - a business that effectively makes a popular Twitter app and employs a few hundred people. Electronic Arts has a gaming studio in Burnaby, but is merely a satellite of a much larger American company. Vancouver's economy is mostly predicated on cyclical real estate bubbles, drugs, and junior mining companies who employ half a dozen engineers and yet don't actually mine anything.
Vancouver is More Beautiful (and its beauty is more accessible)
I know it's subjective, but at least to this writer, Vancouver wins in the beauty department. The mountains are closer to the city and more easily accessible. Stanley Park along with the beautiful seawall that surrounds it are literally a part of downtown. With the exception of the occasional port or lumber yard, the entirety of Vancouver's coastline consists of publicly-accessible beaches or parks, whereas Seattle's western coastline (with the exception of overcrowded beaches like Alki and Golden Gardens) largely consists of industrial parks and inaccessible raised platforms, while the eastern coastline around Lake Washington is almost entirely privatized. Great if you are a member of the 0.001% who can afford property there. Not so great if you are not.
Vancouverites Are Nicer, But Seattlites Are More Interesting
Passive aggressive is a word many locals use to describe Seattle. People in Vancouver are less passive agressive and just generally more passive. Meeting people is hard in both cities, no doubt. Neither has the critical mass of transient diaspora, the likes of a New York or Washington, that makes people want to talk to and meet strangers, but I've found that at least in Vancouver, there is a crack in walls of people's exclusion that comes from a Canadian politeness that Seattle doesn't have.
On the other hand, if you do manage to get to know people in either city, Seattlites are generally more interesting. Much more interesting. Every bar tender and barista in Seattle is aspiring to be something. Whether it be a PhD, a musician, a producer, a writer, whatever. In Vancouver, bar-tending is a career. Smoke weed and play video games in the day and bartend at night is the name of the game. Or waiter in the day and snowboard at night. I wont judge these people for choosing to live an unburdened life, but I will judge them for how incredibly vapid most of them are.
Seattle Has a Better Music Scene
Seattle is a city of music in a way that makes it unfair, if not meaningless, to compare it to Vancouver. As the home of grunge, it is one of North America's music capitals. Seattle doesn't just make musicians. It creates groundbreaking musicians: Nirvana, Foo Fighters, and Pearl Jam to name a few. Macklemore is pretty good, too.
Vancouver is More Organized, Seattle is More Chaotic
Vancouver zoning laws are brutally protective of mixing commercial, residential, or industrial area. The outcome is an autistic urban planner's wet dream: highly organized neighbourhood grids, straight lines, pristine hedges, and slow transitions between property types.
Seattle is almost the exact opposite. Breweries next to bike shops next to a stack of townhouses next to a highway next to factory a converted to a coffee shop converted to a yoga studio converted to a beed store.
There is a statue of Lenin in the Fremont neighborhood of Seattle. Not something you'd expect in America. Then again, Fremont's unofficial slogan is "De Libertas Quirkas" ("Freedom to be Peculiar")
Vancouver is Centralized
The thing about strict municipal zoning and urban planning is that urban planners really like centralization. They are taught density leads to a bunch of good stuff like better public transit and easier allocation of social services. And that is at least partly to explain why Vancouver is incredibly centralized. Everything happens in downtown Vancouver. People live there, they work there, and they go out there. Look at any list of top restaurants or bars in the city and odds are good that at least half of them are in downtown. The good? Downtown Vancouver is awesome. The bad? The rest of the city sometimes feels like a really big suburb.
Seattle, on the other hand, is all about neighbourhoods. Downtown Seattle kind of sucks. Maybe I could put it more eloquently than that, but "sucks" just fits. Pike Place market is nice and so is Pioneer Square, but the list mostly ends there. But what its downtown lacks, its neighborhoods make up for. The beauty about a city made up of discrete neighborhoods is that it's easier to feel like a member of a community. And when you feel like you want something new, to experience a new vibe or a different type of people, you only need to drive a few miles.
Seattle Has More Highways, Vancouver Has Better Transit
There aren't many bus lines in Seattle, and if you are lucky enough to find a bus that'll get you where you need to go, depending on the time and location, you might not want to get on. I was once on my way from downtown to Fremont when a guy in a blood-soaked wife beater and a fresh stab wound was trying to get on. Needless to say, it's nice if not necessary to have a car in Seattle.
Having a car in Vancouver, conversely, is nice but not necessary. Buses take you everywhere, and dedicated lanes sometimes make it faster to get around on the bus than a car in heavy traffic. On the downside, thanks to zoning (again), and wealthy property owners who don't want noise (or suburban "lessers"... let's be honest) in their neighborhoods, there are no real highways in the city of Vancouver. In rush hour it takes literally one hour to go the 15km from west side Vancouver to neighbouring Burnaby.
Time to Get Racial
When someone lands in Vancouver for the first time, the first thing they notice is how many Asian people there are. According to the 2006 census, almost 40 percent of the city is of East Asian (Chinese, Filipino, Japanese, or Korean) origin. This is why Vancouver has some of the best sushi and Chinese food outside of Asia, as well as perhaps the largest population of second generation Asians who do great accents and impressions of their parents.
It's a stretch to call Vancouver multi-cultural, though. When people from the City visit Seattle for the first time, they're normally shocked by all the black and hispanic people, which is funny because people in Seattle often make fun of how white the city is.
For all the sushi we have in Vancouver, it's impossible to find decent ribs, cajun food, or Mexican food. And while I make this all about food, that's only because that is the most obvious benefit of a pluralistic city. And to that extent, Seattle and Vancouver are kind of a draw. Fuck, I'm hungry.
Concluding Thoughts
I'm not here to say which is better. I love both cities. But they are not the same. If I look at the list above and think to myself, "what is it really that sets the cities apart?", it does come down to the nebulous Canadian/American thing. Seattle, like America is more economically free, more chaotic, more raw, more enterprising, more expressive, and more industrial than Vancouver. Meanwhile Vancouver is more compassionate, more organized, more pleasant, more free-flowing, and more untouched than Seattle. Both are great.

Introduction / History
The Bisaya-Tutong peoples comprise several distinct people groups related by name and to a lesser extent language. The most populous group among them are the Tutong, who are located in Brunei along the banks of the Limbang River south of Tutong and into the northern part of Sarawak, East Malaysia. The Tutong are considered closely related to the two groups which call themselves Bisaya, one located in Brunei and one located in Sarawak. Similar, but more distinct, are the Bisaya of Sabah, found around Brunei Bay in the Kuala Penyu and Beaufort districts, and the Tatana people, also located in the Kuala Penyu district. The Bisaya-Tutong people groups speak languages which are classified as Bisaya, a subgroup of the Dusunic family of languages.
The Bisaya-Tutong are culturally diverse and live in small groups interspersed among other peoples. They have adapted many of their cultural features from these peoples. Little is known of their history. In the past, their reputation was a violent one. There was much inter-tribal warfare, and the Bisayan warriors beheaded their enemies to gain power.
What Are Their Lives Like?
A typical Bisaya-Tutong village which accommodates 30 to 200 people is located along a riverbank and contains a number of rice granaries. These villages are permanent settlements made up of small, long rectangular houses built on piles 10-15 feet above the ground. Three or four families usually live together under one roof. The diet of the Bisaya-Tutong consists of rice and a variety of fruits and vegetables. Most houses have a small garden to supply food necessities. Both wet and dry rice are cultivated in burned clearings, and other crops, such as chilies, maize, cucumbers, pumpkins, yams, gourds, and various fruits are also grown. The men are said to be very skilled in carpentry and woodcarving. The women tend to the house and gardens, and gather ferns, fruits, and medicinal plants. They trade with the Chinese for cloth, metal goods, and pottery.
What Are Their Beliefs?
It is said that most of the Bisaya-Tutong converted to Islam many years ago. Yet many animistic customs linger, especially among those of the older generation. In some villages, they still hold occasional ceremonies to appease the spirits of the dead that are believed to be associated with a collection of skulls from their headhunting days.
It is said that in hilltop Bisaya graveyards, one can spot interesting items that have been valued by the departed soul. Rusting foot-operated sewing machines, run-down wall clocks, and other machine-made items, such as plates, cups, and store-bought shirts can be seen. These items were placed on the graves at burial for the departed soul to use in the next life.
What Are Their Needs?
Most of the Bisaya-Tutong have never had an opportunity to hear the good news. Pray that the good news and other study materials will be translated into their language so they can fully understand His truth. Pray that believers in other areas will reach out to these people in practical ways, demonstrating God's care and love for them.

Senate Blocks First Piece of Obama Jobs Bill
10:34 AM, Oct 21, 2011 • By MICHAEL WARREN
In a 50-50 vote last night, the Senate voted down the first piece of a promised series of bills designed to pass President Barack Obama's jobs bill piecemeal. This first measure was a $35 billion state aid package for education and first responders. A separate Republican-sponsored jobs bill was defeated by the Democratic majority last night. The Hill reports:
This bill, which most had not expected to pass, had been sold as necessary for public safety by unions and by Democrats like Vice President Joe Biden, who repeatedly said (or at least implied) that voting down the bill would lead to increased murders and rapes. Senate majority leader Harry Reid had said the bill could go toward saving up to 400,000 teaching, police, and firefighting jobs, although he also admitted that the money would have been left up to the states to decide how to use it.

Gary Meador, an ADEQ inspector of solid waste facilities in 13 Arkansas counties, discusses his work inspecting a publicly-owned landfill in north Baxter County on a tract where he also hunted. He was fired Monday.
- Filed Under
The Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality on Monday fired a state official charged with inspecting the NABORS landfill in north Baxter County.
Gary Meador, who inspected the landfill for 25 years along with solid waste facilities in 13 other Arkansas counties, became the subject of scrutiny by owners of the landfill when it was discovered Feb. 28 that he frequently hunted on the 700-acre landfill tract.
The Bulletin received an update on the matter just after 1 p.m. Monday from ADEQ spokeswoman Katherine Benenati: "As of today, Mr. Meador is no longer an ADEQ employee. We're not ...

Prince Harry has finally moved out of his dad's house – Prince Charles- but hasn't gone far as he has taken up residence with Prince William and Kate Middleton at Kensington Palace.
The party-loving Prince has clearly never heard of three's a crowd as he crashes the newlyweds marital bliss with his bachelor antics. Royal wild child Harry, who is rumoured to be back with ex-lover Chelsy Davy is looking forward to letting off some steam in his new place away from the eyes of his father.
A source told The Daily Mail: "He has been really looking forward to getting his own place after living with his father for so long. Understandably he wants to spread his wings."
But far from being annoyed that his little brother will cramp his style, William is pleased that his brother will be so close.
"Some people might find it strange that he is moving in next door to his brother and sister in law," the source said, "but the three of them get on brilliantly and love spending time together. Prince Harry adores his brother and says Catherine is the sister he never had."
Don't expect Harry to get too lonely without a girlfriend as Prince William, who chose the 27 year-old as his best man for his wedding to Kate last year, has vowed to work closely with his brother throughout their royal lives.
The source revealed: "Prince Harry and Prince William are a double act for the rest of their lives. They are very loyal and trust each other. Loyalty is key. Harry is very respectful towards William."
A St James's Palace spokesman confirmed the move earlier this week: "Prince Harry moved into accommodation at Kensington Palace when he returned from the overseas tour. This will now act his official London Residence."
When is the house warming party Harry?
