Live Video | Live Stats | GAME NOTES
It may seem like a gimme, but it's common knowledge that such a thing doesn't really exist in the Big Sky Conference. This week, the Eastern Washington University women's basketball team will play two teams that it handled quite easily in the first meetings of the 2011-12 Big Sky season.
The Eagles host Northern Arizona on Thursday (Feb. 2) in Cheney, Wash., before traveling to Sacramento State on Saturday (Feb. 4). When Eastern played NAU and Sac State earlier in the year, the Eagles dominated both games. They ended up beating the Lumberjacks by 18 points and Hornets by 14, but before head coach Wendy Schuller took out her starters late in the second half, EWU had built 30-point leads on both teams.
Although the contests in early January may have been lopsided, Eastern knows not to be fooled by any past experience.
"We need to continue to understand that each game is as important as the rest," said Schuller. "We have to take care of our business on a daily basis, because there are no gimmies in the Big Sky, that's for sure. There will never be a night where you can say, 'Oh, this is a W.' Every time we step on the court, we have to bring it."
Eastern (13-9, 7-2 Big Sky) does enter the week in a pretty good position. After sweeping the Montana road trip for the first time since becoming a member of Division I athletics in 1983-84, the Eagles sit in second place in the Big Sky standings. Eastern is a game and a half behind league leader, Idaho State (16-5, 8-0), which is a team that can certainly attest to the parity in this league.
Idaho State, which is undefeated in conference, nearly lost its most recent outing to a winless Weber State. The Wildcats, which are 2-19 on the year and 0-8 in Big Sky play, stormed back from an 18-point deficit early in the second half to earn a two-point edge on ISU with less than 20 seconds to play. But the Wildcats missed a free throw and then turned the ball over on their next possession, allowing Idaho State to score four quick points and ultimately win the game, 54-52.
Northern Arizona will come to Cheney with a 7-14 overall record and 2-7 mark in conference. The Lumberjacks have won two of their last three games against Sac State and Weber State, but prior to that, NAU had lost nine in a row. Another statistic that bodes well for Eastern is NAU's 0-10 road record in this 2011-12 campaign.
The Lumberjacks do boast one of the better all-around players in the Big Sky in junior Amy Patton. The 5-foot-10 shooting guard averages 13.0 points, 7.0 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.9 steals per game. When Eastern played NAU in Flagstaff on Jan. 7, Patton went off for 27 points on 11-of-12 shooting and had seven rebounds. But no one else on the team scored more than eight.
The Eagles lead the all-time series with NAU, 30-23, and have an 18-7 advantage when playing in Cheney. On Thursday, Eastern will be going for its third-consecutive regular-season sweep against the Lumberjacks. The last time EWU lost to Northern Arizona was on Feb. 7, 2009.
News & Notes
Composing a Symphony - The Eastern Washington women's basketball team has won three-games in a row and eight of its last 10. The Eagles are 5-0 on the road in the 2011-12 Big Sky season. Head coach Wendy Schuller says the team has witnessed such success because of a cohesive team effort. "We are playing great team basketball," said Schuller. "We are really figuring out what each other does well. We had talked the other day about a symphony, and how not everyone can sing the same note and in the same pitch and expect to make beautiful music. I think everyone on our team is contributing what they can, and we are learning how to get the right people the ball in the spots where they can do good things, and that is lending a lot to our success. Defensively, it is kind of the same thing. We are helping each other out and communicating well. Our defense gets our offense going, and vice versa. When you're shooting the ball well, it definitely gives you energy on the other end of the floor."
Back-to-Back POWs - Eastern Washington has received the Big Sky Player of the Week honor in back-to-back weeks. Most recently, senior Chene Cooper was selected as the POW after leading the Eagles to a sweep of the Montana road trip for the first time since becoming a member of Division I athletics in 1983-84. The 5-foot-0 point guard averaged 15.5 points, 8.5 assists and 5.0 rebounds on the week. Against perennial power Montana, Cooper was sensational with a game-high 18 points, nine assists and only one turnover in 37 minutes on the floor. Last week, junior Carrie Ojeda earned her first-career POW honor after leading EWU to an important win on the road against defending Big Sky regular-season champion, and preseason favorite, Portland State. The 6-1 center posted her fourth double-double of the season with 18 points and a game-high 10 rebounds. She was 9-of-14 from the floor, while also contributing three blocks, one assist and one steal.
Ryan Also Recognized - After leading Eastern in its historic sweep of the Montana road trip, senior point guard Chene Cooper was named the Big Sky Conference Player of the Week by the league office, but fellow senior Brianne Ryan received the same honor by College Sports Madness. Ryan averaged 18.5 points, 6.5 rebounds and 1.50 assists in the sweep. On Thursday at Dahlberg, Ryan posted 15 points with two 3-pointers, and had five rebounds, one assist and one block. Against the Bobcats, Ryan poured in a game-high 22 points on a 9-of-16 effort from the floor, including two more 3-pointers. She was two rebounds shy of a double-double, as she finished with eight on the night. In addition to leading her team offensively, Ryan also had the job of guarding Montana State's leading scorer. She held senior guard Katie Bussey, who ranks third in the Big Sky in scoring, to just four points on 2-of-10 from the field.
Rollin' on the Road - Eastern Washington is off to its best Big Sky road season in more than 25 years. The Eagels are currently undefeated at 5-0 on the road this season. The last time EWU had a flawless Big Sky road record was in 1984, when it won its first six road games. In its first road trip of this conference season, Eastern Washington celebrated a sweep with back-to-back wins at Weber State and Northern Arizona. Eastern then beat Portland State on the road on Jan. 21, followed by another sweep of what is arguably the hardest road trip in the conference to Montana and Montana State.
Coop Puts Up National Numbers - Senior Chene Cooper (Puyallup, Wash.) currently ranks sixth in the nation in assists, averaging 7.2 per game. She is one of only seven Division I women's basketball players across the country that average seven or more. The 5-foot-0 point guard has been among the top 10 in that category every week of the 2011-12 campaign. She leads all players in the Big Sky by nearly three complete assists. In addition to her season average, she also has the most career assists of any active player in the league by more than 100. She currently ranks third in the EWU all-time career record book with 476, and is 11th in Big Sky history. Coop is also among the best in the nation in assist-to-turnover ratio. With 159 assists and only 68 turnovers this season, she ranks No. 1 in the Big Sky and 13th among all players in Division I.
Disruptive Defense - Eastern Washington is one of the top 20 teams in the nation in steals, and top 40 in turnover margin. The Eagles have had at least 10 steals in 14 games this season, including eight games with 15 or more. Three different Eagles rank among the top 15 in the Big Sky in steals, including Chene Cooper, who leads the league outright and is 21st in the nation. In six of 10 conference games, EWU has forced 20 or more turnovers, with at least 12 steals in each of those contests. In its Big Sky opener against Montana State (Dec. 29), EWU grabbed a school-record 22 steals. MSU ended up with 28 total turnovers in that game. At Northern Arizona (Jan. 7), the Eagles forced 31 turnovers - the second-most miscues for any team in the Big Sky this season. At home against Sac State (Jan. 12), the Eagles forced 27 turnovers and the next night versus Northern Colorado (Jan. 14), EWU forced 24. Eastern's +5.4 turnover margin in conference play is the best in the Big Sky.
Presence in the Paint - Eastern's junior center Carrie Ojeda (Tacoma, Wash.) has become a big time post player for EWU. She is currently the third-leading scorer on the team, averaging 10.4 points per game, and owns the top field goal percentage among starters at 46.4. She has been even better in conference play, averaging 12.9 points and 8.4 rebounds. Ojeda leads the Big Sky Conference in blocked shots (1.8/game), and is ninth in rebounding (6.8/game). She has set or matched a career-high scoring mark in five different outings this year. She posted a career-high 20 points on 8-of-11 shooting in Eastern's win at Northern Arizona (Jan. 7). Prior to that, she twice set a career-high of 19 points against Montana State (Dec. 29) and Eastern Oregon (Dec. 12). In Eastern's win at Portland State (Jan. 21), Ojeda made a career-high nine field goals to finish with a team-high 18 points, which propelled EWU to the important 75-67 on the road.
Ryan and Coop Join 1,000-Point Club - Senior Brianne Ryan (Lynden, Wash.) ascored her 1,000th career point against Arizona State on Dec. 2, and senior Chene Cooper accomplished the same feat against Montana State on Jan. 28. Ryan and Coop are two of only seven players in the Big Sky Conference to reach the career milestone.
Eagles Discover Depth - In 11 of the first 15 games of the season, senior Brianne Ryan led the Eagles in scoring. But in its five most recent outings, four different Eagles have carried the offensive load. In a 78-62 rout of Sacramento State (Jan. 12), five different players scored in double figures, which was the first time all season the Eags had five players with 10 or more points in a single game. Head coach Wendy Schuller put 14 different players into the game, and 11 of those 14 scored at least two points. Ten different Eagles had at least one assist and at least one rebound, and eight separate players had one or more steals. Sophomore Laura Hughes led the Eagles in scoring with a career-high 14 points, She also had a career-high 11 rebounds for the first double-double of her career. This season, six different players on the EWU roster have led the team in scoring at least once, and seven in rebouding.
Keys to a Win - For the 2011-12 Eagles, there seems to be a couple statistics that prove more important than others when it comes to winning a game. This season, the Eagles are 12-1 when leading at the half, and 12-1 when shooting above 40 percent from the field. Eastern has won only one of eight games in which it trailed at halftime, and that was at Portland State when it trailed by just one single point (28-27) at intermission. The Eagles have also won just one of nine games in which they've shot below 40 percent from the field. In its 13 victories this season, EWU shoots an average of 43.8 percent from the field. In the nine games lost, the Eags are converting 34.7 percent of their shots.
Coop Sets Career and Single-Game Steals Record - In Eastern's 2011-12 Big Sky Conference opener against Montana State (Dec. 29), senior point guard Chene Cooper broke EWU's 27-year-old career steals record and tied the school's single-game steals record, set on six different occasions. Cooper had seven steals against the Bobcats, which improved her career total to 218. She surpassed the previous career record of 212, held by Lisa Comstock, who played from 1982-85. Along with owning the top mark in EWU history, which has since improved to 244, Cooper also appears in the Big Sky record book for all-time career steals, ranking seventh in league history.
Eagles Break 32-Year-Old School Record - As a team, Eastern Washington tallied 22 steals in its Big Sky opener against Montana State (Dec. 29), and in doing so, broke a school record that had stood for 32 years. The previous team single-game steals record of 21 was set on Feb. 10, 1979 when the 1978-79 Eagle squad played Northwest Nazarene. Against the Bobcats on Dec. 29, 2011, eight of 10 players who entered the game had at least one steal, while four players had three or more. Montana State committed 28 total turnovers in the game.
Mother-Daughter Milestone - Senior Brianne Ryan scored 32 points against Weber State (Jan. 5), and in doing so, finally surpassed her mother on EWU's all-time career scoring list. Ryan now ranks seventh in the EWU record book with 1,281 career points. Her mother, Neil Ann Ryan (formerly Massie), is ninth with 1,190. Neil Ann played for Eastern from 1979-82. She is also one of only three players in EWU history to notch 1,000+ rebounds, as well as 1,000+ points. Neil Ann ranks third in EWU history for career rebounds with 1,008.
Ryan Scores 30...Again - Senior Brianne Ryan (Lynden, Wash.) registered a season-high 32 points against Weber State (Jan. 5) for her third 30+ scoring effort of the season. Only one other player in the Big Sky has hit the 30-point mark this season, and no one besides Ryan has done it more than once. She has scored in double figures in all 22 games of the 2011-12 season, which is currently the longest running streak in the Big Sky. In nine of those 22 games, Ryan has poured in 20 or more points - the most 20+ scoring efforts of any Big Sky player this season.
3-Point Threats - Senior Brianne Ryan has hit at least one 3-pointer in 21 of 22 game this season, and has had three or more on nine different occasions. She drained a career-high six against Portland (Nov. 29) and had five against Boise State (Dec. 17) and Montana State (Dec. 29). She is averaging 2.4 per game, which ties for second in Big Sky statistics and is 51st nationally. In her career, Ryan has hit 124 3-pointers, which ranks eighth in the EWU record book. Sophomore guard Chenise Pakootas has also become a major scoring threat for EWU, especially from beyond the arc. She ranks among the top 15 in the Big Sky in both 3-point field goal percentage and 3-point field goal average. She is averaging 1.4 3-pointers per game on a 42.9 percentage, which is the top percentage among all players in the league. Pakootas had a career outing in Eastern's final non-conference game against Idaho, scoring 14 points with a career-high four 3-pointers.
Freshmen on the Floor - Eastern has two freshmen who are making significant contributions in their rookie seasons. Melissa Williams, a 6-1 forward, has earned a spot in Eastern's starting lineup in every game of the year. The Camas, Wash., native averages 5.2 rebounds per game to rank third on the squad. She has had four or more total rebounds in 16 of 22 games this year, including a career-high nine against conference foe Montana (Jan. 2). Point guard Kylie Huerta, who averages 8.1 minutes per game, has tallied 32 points and 26 assists. Huerta was an Associated Press 4A All-State Honorable Mention and two-time South Puget Sound League North Division Player of the Year out of Kentwood High School, which is the same school that produced Gonzaga legend and current WNBA star Courtney Vandersloot, as well as Nebraska standout/two-time All-Big 12 honoree, Lindsey Moore. Kentwood is also the alma-mater of EWU men's basketball legend, Rodney Stuckey.
Eagles Impress in Near Upset of Cross-Town Rival Gonzaga - The Eastern Washington University women's basketball was just moments away from pulling off a truly inspiring upset of national power and cross-town rival Gonzaga on Dec. 9 at the McCarthey Athletic Center in Spokane, Wash. After completely controlling the first half of the game, the Eagles held on to a one-point lead (69-68) with under a minute remaining. But an Eagle rebounding foul sent Naismith Trophy candidate Kayla Standish to the line with 38 ticks left on the clock. The 6-2 forward converted both free throws to give GU a narrow 70-69 edge. On Eastern's next possession, sophomore Chenise Pakootas earned a trip to the line for a chance to tie it up and possibly reclaim the lead, but she missed the front end of her one-and-one, and Standish quickly snatched the rebound. Eastern was forced to put Standish on the line again. She made her first shot, but missed the second to keep the game within a single field goal. In a fierce battle for the rebound after the missed free throw, GU's sophomore guard Haiden Palmer emerged with the ball. She was then fouled, and a similar mishap occurred when she missed her second free throw, but then corralled the offensive board. The Bulldogs went on to make three of their next four shots from the charity stripe to extend their lead to six with nine seconds left to play. Eastern tried to keep the game alive with a desperation three, but the shot was off the mark and Gonzaga came down with the rebound as time expired. Despite being the better team for much of the night, the Eagles returned to Cheney with a heartbreaking 75-69 loss. Gonzaga, the seven-time defending WCC champion, has been in the ESPN/USA Today Top 25 Coaches' Poll for eight of nine weeks in the 2011-12 season.
Coop Claims All-Tournament Honors - Senior point guard Chene Cooper (Puyallup, Wash.) was named to the ASU Classic All-Tournament Team for her efforts in Eastern's two games in Tempe, Ariz., Dec 2-3. In the two games combined, Cooper averaged a combined 12.0 points, 3.5 assists and 3.5 steals. Cooper turned in one of her best performances of the season against Arkansas State, with 18 points on 5-of-8 shooting from the field and a perfect 8-of-8 from the line. She also had four assists and three steals.
Ryan Lays Claim to Big Sky POW - For the first time in her already decorated career, senior Brianne Ryan (Lynden, Wash.) was selected as the Big Sky Player of the Week for games played Nov. 14 - Nov. 20. Ryan had a remarkable performance on both ends of the floor to lead Eastern to a 68-57 victory over San Diego (Nov. 17). Her all-around effort was highlighted by 30 points on 10-of-21 shooting from the floor. She scored nearly half Eastern's total points in the game to become the first player in the Big Sky this season to reach the 30-point scoring mark. Ryan's effort against USD was just three points shy of her career-high of 33, which she set last year versus Sacramento State on 14-of-18 shooting. In addition to putting points on the score board, Ryan also led all players on the glass with nine rebounds, and had three assists, one steal and one block, while playing a game-high 38 minutes against the Toreros.
Big Numbers for 2011-12 Campaign - At 17 players deep, the Eastern Washington University women's basketball team begins the 2011-12 season with the biggest roster in head coach Wendy Schuller's 11-year tenure. This roster includes three returning starters from 2010-11, six other returning letterwinners, two returning redshirts, one non-lettering squad member, one transfer and four freshmen.
Building Cred in the Big Sky - The Eagles are coming off their second-straight postseason appearance. In 2010, Eastern earned an automatic bid to the Big Sky Conference semifinals after winning the regular-season title. In last year's Big Sky tourney, Eastern advanced the semis again after a 77-68 victory against Montana State in the quarterfinal round, which actually marked the first postseason win for EWU since the 2004 campaign. Eastern has earned 20 Big Sky Conference wins over the past two years, which is more than the Eagles had in the previous four seasons combined. In 2009-10, EWU captured the school's first-ever Big Sky regular-season title with a 12-4 league record.
Academic Excellence - In the past 10 seasons, Eastern Washington women's basketball players have been honored 81 times on the Big Sky All-Academic list, which is the most for any women's basketball team in the league. The Eagles have also been recognized on the Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) Academic Top 25 Honor Roll for nine of the past 10 seasons. Eastern was among the top five academic teams in the nation in seven of those 10 years, including the 2003-04 campaign, in which the team placed first nationally with a 3.63 cumulative grade point average.
Baby Bonanza - Three of Eastern's four coaches have all had a baby in the last 18 months! Coach Schuller and her husband, Mark, had their third child, Brandon, in June 2010. Assistant coach Alison Hewa had her first child, Hannah, last January, and just a few months after arriving on the EWU campus, assistant coach Steve Lowe welcomed his first child, Harper (born Sept. 25, 2011).

Upstate Concert Hall, Friday
Blues guitar is going to be in full effect Friday night when Kenny Wayne Shepherd is joined by local opener Sly Fox and the Hustlers. Shepherd is still only 35 but he's spent more than half his life touring as a pro guitar slinger. If you've followed his career, you know about his origins as a SRV-worshipping, 13-year-old prodigy. The style has stayed the same but the chops have only gotten sharper. Shepherd is touring on his 2011 release How I Go, which peaked, like all his previous records, at No. 1 on the U.S. blues charts. (March 22, 8 PM, $25, 1208 Route 146, Clifton Park, 371-0012)

My sister has asked me to take in a dress for her, but it has a side zipper (invisible). The dress is chiffon, with a ruched but fitted strapless bodice, and a flowing skirt. She tried it on, and I could pinch out 1.5 inches at each of the side seams - it was only then I found out it had a side zipper, as she had been pulling it on over her head!
My initial plan of action is to unpick the lining from the bodice, take in the bodice and resew the lining. This will work fine on the non zipper side (I think), but will entail repositioning the zipper on that side. I haven't done this before, and I'm a little nervous. But, could I just pinch out the bodice at the back? Perhaps along the centre back, or in two pinches either side of it? Does this make sense?
I welcome any wisdom anyone can offer!
I had a similar problem with a dress for a GD this past summer. I ended up taking the zipper out, taking the dress in and then putting the zipper back in. This was my first invisible zipper and I was suprised at how easy it was to sew back in. So don't let that stop you. You might want to buy an invisible zipper and practive first if you are really nervous about putting the zipper back.
Doh! I hadn't thought about getting one to practise on.... Silly me
Keep your fingers crossed for me!
If all else fails hand picking a zipper in usually resolves the difficulties of dealing with waist curves, shorter length of seam allowance edges and difficult fabrics. Its a lot quicker than unpicking too.
I'm back to square one. I don't have an invisible zipper foot, and I've been to the three stores in my town, and they don't have them either!
So will my alternative plan of taking the dress in at the back work?
I've made a little sketch of the back of the dress. The yellow at the left bodice side is the side invisible zipper. The pink dashed line is the centre back. I'm thinking that I will take the bodice in at the green lines, and taper to the bottom of the bodice, as I don't have the equipment to reinsert the invisible zipper.
In theory, will this work?
I am not sure this will help. Is her front bigger than her back? When you said that you could pinch out 1 1/2" on each side I assume that you were pulling some from the front too. If you only reduce the back, you will not fix anything going on in the front. I think you will have to do it at the sides. You could experiment with your regular zipper foot to sew the invisible zip in-it is not impossible to do it with a regular zipper foot but it certainly is not as easy as with an invisible zipper foot. I would probably hand sew the zipper back in place. Good luck!
Is the dress strapless? If so, the lining will have bonning sewn into the seam allowances. This is what makes the dress stay up and give it structure. Taking in the dress only in the back 3" per side will cause the side seams to pull to the back. It'd be best to remove the zipper and sew it back in. Companies label invizible zippers as concealed zipper feet.

You don't need to use an invisible zipper foot to insert an invisible zipper--I use a regular foot all of the time. Here are a couple of tutorials that may help you: Maripat's method and Els's method. I learned from Els's tutorial--if you practice a few times you should be OK. As Maripat comments, the key is being able to stitch in the zipper crease, and moving your needle position may help.
Thanks folks, those tutorials are very helpful! I managed, but it's a bit wobbly... getting the chiffon ruched bands to match up was a bit finicky, but the dress is done!

Address by Minister of Health Rona Ambrose: Press Conference with Ertharin Cousin, Executive Director of the United Nations World Food Programme
May 28, 2014 – Toronto, Ontario
Check Against Delivery
Good morning and thank you all for coming.
It is my pleasure to be here with Ertharin Cousin, Executive Director of the United Nations World Food Programme.
It was a great to tour with SickKids with Ertharin and our other guests.
SickKids is more than a world-class hospital for children in Canada.
SickKids is also working to improve the health of women and children overseas.
Namely, by training health workers in Ghana, Ethiopia, and Tanzania.
The World Food Programme—or WFP—is the United Nations' frontline agency in the fight against hunger.
It responds quickly to emergencies and saves lives by getting food to the people who need it the most.
But it also works to prevent hunger and stem malnutrition in the future.
Canada is proud to be a global leader in supporting nutrition around the world.
Increasing food security and ensuring access to nutritious food are at the heart of poverty reduction.
And fundamental pillars of Canada's maternal, newborn and child health initiative.
Access to healthy, nutritious food—particularly in a child's first 1,000 days—touches their entire life.
Nutrition levels during that period impact whether a child will have the strength to reach their full mental and physical potential.
Canada was proud to be the World Food Programme's third largest donor last year.
We provided more than $370 million to its global operations.
The decision is simple: children who get enough food are less likely to get sick or potentially even die.
They are more likely to stay in school, contribute to their families and communities, and to reach their full potential.
And that is why today, I am pleased to announce that Canada is contributing an additional $98 million to support the World Food Programme's humanitarian work around the world.
Already this year, Canada has announced support to this programme for high-profile situations.
We are working together in Syria and the surrounding region, as well as the Central African Republic and South Sudan.
Today's funding focuses on other regions of significant need that we don't always hear about in the news, such as Ethiopia, Yemen and Haiti.
For example, in Haiti, Canada's support will contribute to the distribution of food or vouchers to hundreds of thousands of people.
As well as providing supplementary feeding to 75,000 children and nutrition supplements to close to 50,000 pregnant women.
In Mozambique – and I am pleased to say we are joined today by Mozambique's Minister of Health, Dr. Alexandre Manguele – Canada's support will help with general food distributions or cash-grants/food-for-work for up to 250,000 people facing food insecurity as a result of drought and / or flooding.
And those are just two examples.
Canada will continue to work all across the world to help those in need.
Just last week, I was in Geneva at the World Health Assembly, where I had the pleasure of announcing the "Innovating for Maternal and Child Health in Africa program" – a program that seeks to improve maternal, newborn and child health systems to become more equitable, using primary health care as an entry point.
I am proud to say under the leadership of Prime Minister Stephen Harper, Canada is bringing global attention to the issue of maternal and child health.
In a few hours, we will be opening the Saving Every Woman, Every Child: Within Arm's Reach Summit.
And one of the first topics we will touch on is nutrition.
In fact, Ertharin will be leading that discussion.
So I want to thank you for coming.
And thank you for your organization's tireless efforts around the world.
Canada is pleased to have the World Food Programme as a strategic partner.
And to help you deliver concrete results for those in need around the world.
I look forward to seeing many of you at the conference.
I am now pleased to turn the floor over to Ms. Ertharin Cousin, Executive Director of the United Nations World Food Programme.
Thank you.

The Seven Major Vortex energy Sites of Sedona
Panoramic photo of Sedona, AZ – 2009
I have been visiting the Sedona/Oak Creek area since the 1940's when it was still accessed by a dirt and then a narrow concrete road. In the mid 20th century it was a quiet pristine place to spend a cool Summer weekend camping and hiking and enjoying sliding down the creek. At a family reunion, in the mid 1950s, I told an older cousin about it. She fell in love with it and shared it with two of her best friends, and they made it what it is today. It's no wonder; it is a beautiful, serene canyon located less than two hours from our B&B. I'll tell you a little about the Vortex energy that attracts people to Sedona today.
Native American people and their ancestors have considered the area home and of spiritual significance for thousands of years. There are ruins of their communities and evidence of their occupation for miles around.
Ben Lonetree's Vortex energy Chart – 2004
My wife remembers coming to one of the sacred plateaus as a child with her father to perform sacred Hopi rites. Yavapai Apache people still come to another site to perform spiritual rites each year. These sites, as well as five others, are now called Vortexes (see chart above). Along with New Age 'religious groups' and Native Americans, there are scores of thousands of tourists who visit each year.
My late father was an earth science in the public school system in central Arizona for over three decades and he would bring members of his classes on field trips each year to experience these phenomena. He explained the Vortexes as 'tunnels of magnetic energy'. Some of the evidence of this is below.
Evidence that Sedona and the surrounding area ranks high in magnetic anomalies can be seen in this chart which is a product of the USGS North American Magnetic Anomaly website. Geomagnetic intensity is indicated by the vertical bar graph to the right. Sedona is 'off the scale' being whitish pink in coloration. Magnetic activity has been measured in excess of 650nT in Sedona. Reference for further scientific measurement information.
Come and experience the spiritual, scientific, or New Age vortex energy for yourself.

POSTED: 1:30 a.m. HST, Dec 21, 2012
LAST UPDATED: 1:34 a.m. HST, Dec 21, 2012
Five years after a car critically injured McCully resident Gwyne Isa in a Moiliili crosswalk, the city will dedicate a pedestrian-activated warning signal at the crosswalk today.
"One of the issues that I think we've all heard much about is un-signalized crosswalks," said Wayne Yoshioka, director of the Department of Transportation Services. "The goal is to increase safety at all un-signalized crosswalks, and in doing so, the Department of Transportation Services has been doing several projects to test at these crosswalks."
Pedestrians can activate the signal, an overhead yellow flashing light, at the South King Street crosswalk near Times Supermarkets, between Pawaa Lane and Hauoli Street. The light will flash for 90 seconds.
The signal is not a command for drivers to stop, but is intended to increase their awareness of pedestrians in the crosswalk, Yoshioka said.
"Pedestrians have to remember that vehicles aren't required to stop," he said. "They're just warning beacons."
The signal is part of a pilot project to evaluate its effectiveness in improving pedestrian safety and could lead to the installation of similar devices elsewhere.
A similar pedestrian-activated signal that flashes a roadside yellow light is in use at a crosswalk on Kamehameha Highway, at the entrance to Hawaii Pacific University's Windward campus.
On Nov. 20, 2011, a month after its installation, HPU student Mariah Danforth-Moore was killed by a hit-and-run driver while using the crosswalk.
Emergency Medical Services responded to 35 pedestrian injuries on the stretch of South King Street between Kalakaua Avenue and University Avenue from 2007 to 2011, according to statistics from the state Department of Health.
"That whole corridor on King Street has actually experienced a high number of injuries, but that particular crosswalk we've been looking at for years," said Jackie Boland, director of outreach for AARP Hawaii.
"When you walk out on it, it's very hard for cars to see you. You'd have to be about a quarter of the way out already."
Ron Lockwood, McCully Neighborhood Board chairman, said, "For pedestrian safety we've been out sign-waving for cars to slow down and working with HPD. … (The board has) been active at this crosswalk since 2007, when Gwyne got hit. She's one of the AARP volunteers and a resident here, so it really struck home for us."
Isa sustained head, brain and other injuries in the accident, Lockwood said, and continues to undergo therapy in Hawaii and California. She will attend today's 10 a.m. dedication along with Mayor Peter Carlisle, other city officials and pedestrian safety advocates.
This is a recipe for an ACCIDENT and people need to assume the cars will NOT stop. Another fine example of your INCOMPETENT DOT...WOW

I can't get the trainer to open. I double click on it and nothing happens. I tried running the game and than opening the trainer, same thing, nothing happens.
I am using Windows 7 64bit. I never had this problem before. What is the problem?
This shall not happen. Try disabling all your firewall, AV application. This is because these security applications might be blocking the Trainer. If this does not solve your problem, try running in compatibility settings, preferebly XP.

To me the popular will is like the ocean. It may carry you far. Ignore it – its currents, its lulls and its storms – at your peril. But always distrust it. Learn when to fight it, when to run with it and when to stay in port when a storm blows over.

Famous Vegetarians
Think Vegetarianism is just a passing fad? Think again! There are hundreds of famous vegetarians of the present and the past. Here's some very interesting insights into the world of vegetarian celebrities.
Steve Vai
Virtuoso guitar shredder, former Frank Zappa sideman, beekeeper and vegetarian, STEVE VAI tells Napa-based musician and beekeeper Ross Rubin why Amy's Kitchen's Salisbury Steak really takes him home.
Where does the honeybee fit into Steve Vai's personal mythos?
Well, you know, this is something that I do to be closer to nature. When I'm in my bee colonies, I'm by myself—you know, no one else can really be near you. It's the one thing that I do that's completely outside of demands and the music industry and any other relationships I have in my life—it's just me and the bees.
I feel a sense of accomplishment; I'm helping nature.
Beekeeping feels pretty feral, huh? And it's also kinda like being in another dimension.
Beekeeping is very special. You can't understand it unless you do it.
Despite all the reading and classes one can learn about beekeeping from—and I encourage anyone interested to read and take a class—beekeeping is a skill that takes actual practice before you can really start to understand it—and then its only a start because honeybees are wild animals who frequently surprise and confound. All that reading can't prepare you for the experience of being at the center of that electron cloud, sometimes surrounded by thousands of buzzing insects.
Have you gotten anyone started in beekeeping?
Actually, yeah, I have, but I tend to keep these things sort of private.
My beekeeping, my vegetarianism, my spirituality. I don't really like to open these things up for debate. I've had people attack me for being a beekeeper—
Some vegans do not eat honey and I appreciate their perspective. They don't want to exploit the bees or disrupt their lives. But I've discovered that bee keeping actually helps the bees. We're keeping them healthy and propagating new colonies. We're helping the environment and we're only taking the surplus honey from the bees that they're not going to use. But I respect anyone else's point of view on the issue.
Any musical colleagues who've gotten interested in beekeeping, anyone you've mentored?
Oh yeah, 3 or 4 have asked me about it and I helped set them up with equipment and stuff.
None famous but, I did get Mike Green, previous President of the Recording Academy, interested in it and now he has some flourishing colonies.
I have an observation hive that I take around to the local schools--
I saw those pictures of you with the school kids on your website—fantastic!
Yeah, the kids are so fascinated it's really a wonderful, fun thing to do.
How old are yours?
My boys are 16 and 19.
Do they help you in the colonies?
When they were children, yeah.
Now one's in college and the other [some laughter] well….
He's got his own things going on.
You know, the weekend comes and he just hits the ground running.
Ours are 4 and 5 and both really fascinated by the bees. I'm about ready to get them some little suits of their own.
And you auction off your honey to benefit your foundation—The Make a Noise Foundation.
Yes, if the fans want a jar of honey, the money goes into this charity.
As a composer and poet, what sorts of analogies have you drawn from the world of the bees into the musical world?
The thing about the bees is that, in order to accomplish anything of any real value, you have to focus intensely on that thing and that's what the bees do.
Bees are instinctual and very organized. The colony has a fascinating social infrastructure. Everyone's got a job and they literally work themselves to death in the service of the colony.
Yeah, as they cycle through their lives' jobs-- from house-bee, to nurse bee, to guard and forager-- they stay completely focused on their tasks and on the well being of what biodynamic beekeepers call the "bien"—the unified "organism" that is the colony.
It's always great to be reminded of the microcosm and macrocosm in everything.
When you're working with the bees, you're in a particular headspace that's unlike any other place you can go. I find it very revitalizing.
I always feel like I'm in the nucleus of an atom—
--Spin on!
When did you choose vegetarianism?
On my 22nd birthday.
Was there a particular catalyst that turned you around and made you reassess?
Yes, eating meat just never felt quite right to me. And I was always sick, I always had digestive issues and as a kid I suffered from, what they said were "hereditary migraines."
Who else had them? Your mom? Your dad?
Well, that was the thing, no one else in my family had them but they were so bad, I couldn't do anything, I was basically paralyzed. I was generally in poor health and all I did was play the guitar all the time, I didn't do any real exercising. Then I went into a very dark period between the ages of 20 and 22, sort of a "dark night of the soul" you might say--
You were working with Frank Zappa?
Yeah I was playing with Frank at the time.
He was a pretty cynical character?
Oh, yeah, pretty cynical, but I don't believe that had anything to do with it. I loved Frank.
He was unbelievably warm, funny and witty and his cynicism was grounded in his humor-- in his comic nature-- and he would say just the funniest, and most right-on things. Frank was an unbelievable, extraordinary person.
I was 22 and becoming a vegetarian was one of those things that seemed to be a common sense and natural thing to do.
True. Vegetarianism seems, for so many reasons, to be "right action"-- a good thing to do.
It became very obvious to me and even practical after I started reading a bit more deeply and finding all the evidence for our not really being carnivores and all the health benefits of being vegetarian combined with my growing awareness of karmic consequences. But even throwing all that away, meat-eating just didn't seem right to me.
But that said-- I never get into debates about vegetarianism with anybody. Each of us is on our own path. For me, it was a huge turning point. My diet had a dramatic effect on my mental health and I can count on one crippled hand how many migraines or stomach ailments I've had over the last 26 years. It also has a dramatic effect on my mood and outlook on life. It gave me a new lease on life.
When you made this lifestyle adjustment, how did this change your rock and roll lifestyle? You were touring the world with Zappa and David Lee Roth of Van Halen and—are there any stories you can share about how your vegetarianism intersected your life as a famous, touring rock musician-- how you affected your tourmates?
Well, I can tell you, I was in one band-- a big, rock band and by the end of the tour, 4 out of the 5 people in the band turned vegetarian.
That's great!
In my last band, two or three people became vegetarian.
I don't beat anyone over the head with it. They have to ask me about it. Then they will have to push quite a bit before I open up. I'll talk to them about the health benefits, but the spiritual aspects I keep to myself unless someone sincerely wants to understand. I'll know if they are seekers and are truly interested but I don't engage in debates.
It's a personal choice.
Most of the time, after a discussion on it, they say, "I'm gonna be a vegetarian." I hear it all the time.
I have seen people become vegetarians just by seeing someone else set an example. It resonates a chord in them that just needed to be strummed.
But what I've found is that the people who stick to vegetarianism are those who do it for humane reasons. If they're doing it just for their health, It's not uncommon for them to start eating meat again.
Well, these sorts of lifestyle choices require some introspection and our culture and civilization are about due for some introspection.
Don't ya think? I also get that feeling.
I have teenagers who are much more spiritually and environmentally aware than I was at their age and I get very hopeful.
Last couple of questions:
When did you start eating Amy's Kitchen's Organic Vegetarian food?
Many years ago. Probably when it first became available. My kids grew up eating Amy's food.
Back when the whole product line was a pot pie?
Yeah, like 20 years ago! I just remember that it was completely vegetarian food and it tasted good and it was quick food.
My family has probably purchased about a million dollars worth of Amy's Pizza Snacks alone! Hey, I had an Amy's Burrito last night!
I'm a big fan of the Indian food.
Yeah, the Indian food is great, but I think my favorite is the Salisbury steak—reminiscent of my childhood.
You know, Amy's success, in part, relates to most people's desire to eat healthfully. Most people want to do the right thing for themselves and their families but it has to be fast and convenient.
And the way society is structured now, most people don't have the time to care about their food and really take care of themselves, so the last resort is having someone help take care of them. I'm hopeful that more people are thinking more deeply about these issues. I want to see the "victory gardens" come back. Even if folks just grow a pot of tomatoes on their balconies—
Amen to that!
--people need to start taking some responsibility for their own food. Amy's Kitchen takes that kind of responsibility on a larger scale—sourcing as much of their organic ingredients from local, family farmers as is reasonably and, sometimes, not so reasonably, possible. Amy's really considers the environmental ramifications of this business of feeding people.
Definitely, and it's a very natural instinct to grow your own food.
Sure, biodynamics in action—we're animals grazing on this land and contributing even our bodies back into the environment. We're on the wheel, part of the cycle. People are beginning to remember this inescapable fact.
I hope so.
It has always been my feeling—and I'm by no means an expert on these things—but it makes sense to me, we're all here on the planet and we're evolving—moving in a positive direction. Sometimes it may not seem that way, but that's what makes sense to me.

Jennifer Krawiec is a burst of energy. From the moment you first meet her you are swept away by her enthusiasm and passion for raising awareness of Turner Syndrome. She even recently attended the annual conference of the American Academy of Pediatrics NJ Chapter and was able to share her story with medical professionals who were unaware of the condition. However, she is 28 and did not meet anyone with Turner Syndrome for 14 years.
She was diagnosed at the late age of 14 after she didn't go through puberty. Her mother was concerned not only because of this but because she was far behind on the growth ...

The internationally famous Museum of Anthropology in Mexico City offers ample documentation of the very rich accomplishments in the art of Pre Columbian cultures such as the Aztec, Olmec and Mayan. The Colonial Period saw the introduction of European traditions in art from Spain, France and Austria. Franciscan artists-priests not only portrayed the majesty of Christian heritage, but also acted as the visual historians of the Colonial era.
Parallel versions of most of the world's major art movements also occurred
in Mexico, often inspired by Mexican artists returning from extensive
sojourns to major art centers such as Paris and New York.
flow reversed itself when Rivera along with Alfaro Siqueros founded one
of the twentieth century's most significant directions in art, the Mexican
Muralist Movement. Suddenly artists from all over the world were coming
to Mexico to work and study with these and other masters.
Most recently, major museum shows around the world have brought significant attention to such artists as Diego Toledo, Alejandro Colunga and Julio Galan as leading practitioners of the contemporary Latin American movement in art and literature know as "Magical Realism", which shows great promise of continuing well into the 21 st. Century and beyond.

Worldwide impacts: Water resources
Although overall global rainfall is expected to increase, climate change is likely to have negative impacts on water resources in many regions, through a combination of shifting rainfall patterns, melting glaciers and more evaporation. A warmer world will also lead to an intensified water cycle, with heavier bursts of rain punctuated by longer dry spells. These effects could increase water stress for many people around the world.
Changing rainfall patterns in a warmer world
Rainfall changes are more difficult to predict than temperature changes, so scientists can't be sure of the likely impacts in specific regions. But climate models can help scientists understand how rainfall could respond to higher global temperatures. Average yearly rainfall is expected to increase in both equatorial and high-latitude regions, although this will vary from season to season. In contrast, arid subtropical areas are expected to receive less rainfall. This could be amplified by a feedback effect, with reduced soil moisture making less water available for evaporation and cloud formation. Wet regions in general are likely to get wetter, while dry regions are likely to get drier.
Changing rainfall amount and intensity in a warmer world
As well as changing geographical patterns of rainfall, rising temperatures will lead to increased evaporation rates. This in turn leads to faster cloud formation and a larger amount of moisture being moved around the climate system – known as the 'intensification' of the water cycle. Scientists calculate that every degree of global temperature rise will lead to about a 7% increase in global rainfall, though not all regions will see an increase, and much of the extra rain will fall over the oceans. An intensified water cycle also means that more rain falls in heavier bursts, with a decrease in the amount of lighter rainfall and longer dry spells in-between heavy downpours.
Impacts of climate change on water resources in wet regions
Scientists predict that most wet regions are likely to receive higher annual rainfall as global temperatures rise. High-latitude areas such as northern parts of Europe, Asia and America are expected to see an increase in both winter and summer rainfall. Monsoon rainfall in parts of Asia, Africa and Australia could increase, and tropical areas such as South America and equatorial Africa could receive less rainfall in summer but more in winter. However, increased flooding could threaten freshwater supplies with contamination. Combined with more seasonal variability and faster evaporation, this means climate change is likely to have impacts on water resources in all regions – even where annual rainfall is predicted to rise.
Impacts of climate change on water resources in dry regions
Scientists predict that continued global warming could cause a general decrease in rainfall in areas that already have arid climates, particularly the Mediterranean and southern Africa. A 2 °C rise in global temperatures is expected to lead to about a 50% increase in the frequency of droughts in southern Africa and the Mediterranean. A rise of 4 °C or more could see droughts happening twice as often in these regions and in southeast Asia too, with a reduction of up to 70% in river runoff in some areas. Changing rainfall patterns and reduced runoff could have widespread impacts on water resources around the world, potentially increasing water stress for up to a billion people by the end of the century.
Impacts of retreating glaciers on water resources
Many communities in India, China and South America rely on glaciers to provide fresh water. Water is stored in glaciers over the winter through snow accumulation and then released during the spring and summer melt season, boosting the flows of many rivers. More than one-sixth of the world's population live in river basins fed by seasonal glacier and snow melt. As temperatures rise, faster spring melt rates should increase water availability in these regions. But scientists predict that further warming and shrinking glaciers will cause more water to be released earlier in the year – or possibly not stored as snow in the first place – resulting in reduced spring and summer water flows with consequences for drinking water supplies and irrigation.

Wine Terms
or Bourgogne (bor guh nyeh)-this region in eastern France, known equally for the excellence of its red and white wines, consists mostly of small estates, or domaines. Although its climate and soil are particularly suited to the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes, with Gamay dominant in the southern district of Beaujolais, Burgundy's terroir is so varied that each vineyard creates distinctive wines. This wide variety accounts for not only the plethora of sublime wines coming from this region, but also for the relatively small production levels. There are five main districts in Burgundy: The Côte d'Or, The Côte Chalonnaise, Chablis, The Mâconnais, and Beaujolais. Red Burgundy is paler than Bordeaux, ranging in color from garnet to cherry or ruby, because the Pinot Noir grape has less color than the Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot grapes. It tends to be full in body and low in tannin. The characteristic aroma is cherries and berries, with woodsy, or mushroomy accents. When a red burgundy ages, it often develops a silky texture, richness, and natural sweetness of fruit flavors. Red Burgundies are great to drink young because of their softness and fruitiness, and they are incredibly versatile companions to food.
(shar dohn nay)—This noble grape's reputation was established in France, particularly in the Burgundy region, and the highly prized Chardonnay wines from Chablis, Mâcon, Mersault, and Pouilly-Fuissé are imitated by winemakers around the world. Generally an oaked wine (whether from expensive oak barrels or a quick soak in oak chips), its fruity aromas and flavors range from apple in the cooler regions to tropical fruits such a pineapple in the warmer regions. It can also display subtle earthy aromas, such as mushroom or minerals. It has a medium to high acidity and is generally full-bodied. Classical Chardonnay wines are dry. Chardonnay is also an important grape in the Champagne district where it's picked before fully ripe and while it still has high acid and understated fruit flavors—the perfect combination for champagne. California has adopted this grape with a fervor and there are some 200 wineries producing Chardonnay wines in other parts of the United States. Chardonnay has also seen a tremendous planting surge in Australia, and new vineyards are being planted in Italy, Lebanon, New Zealand, Spain, and South Africa.
France is the standard bearer for all the world's wines, with regard to the types of grapes that are used to make wine and with the system of defining and regulating winemaking. Its Appellation d'Origine Controlee, or AOC system, is the legislative model for most other European countries. Most French wines are named after places. The system is hierarchical; generally the smaller and more specific the region for which a wine is named, the higher its rank. There are four possible ranks of French wine, and each is always stated on the label: Appellation Contrôlée (or AOC), Vin Délimité de Qualité Supérieure (or VDQS); Vin de pays, or country wine; and Vin de table. France has five major wine regions, although there are several others that make interesting wines. The three major regions for red wine are Bordeaux, Burgundy, and the Rhone; for white wines, the regions are Burgundy, the Loire and Alsace. Each region specialized in certain grape varieties for its wines, based on climate, soil, and local tradition. Two other significant French wine regions are Provence and Languedoc-Roussillon, both in the south of France. Cahors, in the southwest of the country, produces increasingly good wines.
(mah cawn) or Mâconnais—this district of Burgundy is home to some of France's most affordable white wines, all made from 100% Chardonnay grapes. Some of the better wines reflect their individual villages (such as Macon-Lugny or Macon Vire). Mâcon whites are medium-bodied, crisp, fresh, and lively yet substantial, and usually unoaked. They should be drunk within three years of the vintage. The best Mâcon whites come from the southernmost part of the district and have their own appellations: Pouilly-Fuissé and Saint-Véran.
(pwee fwee say)—Part of the white-wine producing region of the Mâconnais, this wine made entirely with the Chardonnay grape is often aged in oak. Quality can range from fresh and light (though sometimes dull) to gloriously complex, depending on the producer.

Truck driver convicted of two murders released from prison early
MCMINNVILLE, Ore. – A man who spent 20 years in prison for two murders is now living in Yamhill County.
Scott Cox was released from prison Friday for good behavior. In 1993, he was sentenced to 25 years for the murders of two women in Portland.
One victim, Rheena Ann Brunson, was found stabbed to death in front of a Portland grocery store in November 1990. The other, Victoria Rhone, was found strangled in Portland in 1991.
Cox, who was a long-haul truck driver, was not charged in any other killings. At the time of his arrest, police agencies in cities along his routes examined the unsolved deaths of young women who frequented truck stops.
Cox is still spending nights at the Yamhill County Jail as part of his post-prison supervision. He's essentially a free man from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. every day, but he must stay within the county.
Sheriff Jack Crabtree says he's watching Cox's every move.
"He's on a GPS monitor," said Crabtree. "He's a convicted murderer. He's not the first convicted murderer to be released from prison. The concerns people have are normal."
Cox is not allowed near schools, parks, libraries or bars. If he violates those rules, his GPS monitor will alert his parole officer.
Saturday, Cox walked out of the jail and took a stroll through McMinnville, according to the tracking device.
KATU News learned Cox is a person of interest in at least 15 other murders in western states.
When asked if he believes Cox is a dangerous man, Crabtree said "I guess we'll find out."
"I hope the 20 years has done something for him that he'll not be a danger to society," said Crabtree.
The Associated Press contributed to this story.

Glenda Ritz, Indiana superintendent of public instruction, fields questions Oct. 29, 2013, from Scott Elliott as she spoke at a public session at the Indianapolis-Marion County Public Library, Central Library branch. Her address was part of a series of 'conversations about education' sponsored by the library and WFYI.
- Filed Under
Indiana schools chief Glenda Ritz's political squabbles have dominated the news in recent days. But at a public forum Tuesday, she focused more on the educational improvements she wants to make.
The next two weeks will be critical in determining whether her political rift with the State Board of Education can be bridged - and how much of her efforts to add state-based reading tests and improve existing tests can be achieved.
In a wide-ranging discussion before about 100 people, she outlined her priorities as she prepares for pivotal board meetings on revamping the state's A-to-F school ...

Great Glazing: Decorative installation at Norton Cancer Institute
The basics: Soft blues and greens, balanced with vivid magentas and oranges, fill the space of the Nixon Meditation Room located in the new Norton Cancer Institute, part of the Norton Hospital Complex in Louisville, Ky. A towering 30-foot-by-30 foot decorative glass window, installed in June, creates a peaceful, calming effect for the space while serving as a visual gateway to the hospital complex, according to a release from Architectural Glass Art Inc. The window design was inspired by glass artist Kenneth von Roenn Jr.'s brother's five-year fight and ultimate survival from liver and pancreatic cancer. When composing his window design, von Roenn chose colors and images that inspire both positive and reflective thoughts, according to the release. A silhouette of a tree serves as a foundation for the design, which also includes other natural elements such as leaves, flowers, nautilus shells and a water crystal. Inlaid glass jewels spiral throughout the composition.
The players: Project manager, The Nehemiah Group; construction manager, Abel Construction; overall building architect, Karlsberger; radiation center architect, Architection; art glass design and supplier, Architectural Glass Art; art glass installer, Lambert Glass.
The glass: Laminated and painted antique glass with inlaid glass jewels, laminated dichroic glass. Segments of the window are arranged in a rectilinear grid, mimicking the design of the institution. Another grid, composed of dichroic glass laminated to the exterior plane of the window, reflects colors that are seen from those passing the building on the main thoroughfare.

A York County group is looking for people interested in volunteering to help at-risk children.
The organization, Court Appointed Special Advocates, will hold an information session 6 p.m. Thursday in the third-floor conference room of the York County Judicial Center for anyone interested in joining the program.
The group needs volunteers to represent children who are victims of abuse or neglect in dependency court, where a judge decides the child's living situation, including whether the child will become a ward of the state.
"Our purpose is to give a voice to the voiceless," said Andrew Myers, the group's community outreach and educational facilitator.
The information session will include a presentation on child abuse in York County, talks from current volunteers and staff and information about the application and training process.
Training: Volunteers don't need any previous legal experience. Court Appointed Special Advocates provides an eight-week training session that consists of two classes a week to prepare volunteers. One such training session will begin Thursday, Sept. 11, Myers said.
"We look for people from all walks of life," he said. "All we require is the desire to give children the best situations possible."
The volunteers will need to devote 10 to 15 hours each month to their those duties, Myers said.
Myers said a volunteer will have three main roles — as a fact finder for the judge, as a courtroom advocate for the child and as an overseer for the case, making sure the child's best interests are represented.
"Our volunteers get assigned to the most delicate cases," he said, like those involving abuse or neglect.
Background: Court Appointed Special Advocates is a national organization and has had a program in York County since 1987.
The program has 36 volunteers and represented 91 children over the past year. Myers said more than 400 children are in dependency proceedings right now.
"So we are well short of representing all the children who need it," he said.
Anyone 21 or older who is interested in applying to volunteer or attending the info session should email Andrew Myers at email@example.com or call him at 771-9754.

Note to The Tablet: 'Liberal Catholicism' is a flawed concept
During the last two weeks, Britain's most notorious "liberal Catholic" magazine has been criticised by a senior English bishop and then, just yesterday, by an even more senior US archbishop. I don't know if the Tablet's editor is on holiday, but if she is, Catherine Pepinster should scramble home now – it's rare for the Church to castigate the Catholic press, and not since Evelyn Waugh attacked the Tablet in his 1933 open letter has the magazine been so publicly humiliated.
To recap: the first criticism came from Bishop Alan Hopes, an auxillary bishop in the Westminster Diocese. A Tablet editorial said that Archbishop Nichols (the head of the Catholic Church in England and Wales) was, by hosting a Latin Mass Conference, "seeking to nip a potential schism in the bud" and putting the Latin Mass in its "necessarily marginal" place. These were wholly inaccurate statements, said Bishop Hopes, and he highlighted the Tablet's skewed understanding of Catholic liturgy, saying that the magazine had launched "a misguided attack" in a "culture war".
The second criticism came from Archbishop Charles Chaput, the archbishop of Denver. Using stronger language he said a recent Tablet editorial on US healthcare contained "unhelpful and badly informed opinions" and, as Damian Thompson noted, that it sounded like it had been written by President Obama's "acolytes". The thinking behind the editorial, he implied, was governed by "ignorance or cynicism".
Plainly, this is all very embarrassing for the Tablet – and I'm not interested in rubbing salt into the wound. But the magazine's present crisis seems to hint at something more profound. The concept of liberal Catholicism, it seems, is crumbling before our eyes. Of course, it was always flawed. Liberal Catholics want a Church that: moves with the times and is "progressive"; allows for the use of contraception and abortion in some instances; is more lenient towards homosexuality; allows for the laicisation of the Catholic world and freedom to experiment with liturgy. The Catholic Church, on the other hand, hasn't budged. It is unchanging in its stance towards the sanctity of human life and remains quite clear where it stands on homosexuality. It wants the laity to remain active, but in their rightful place. In other words, if liberal Catholics want a Church that moves with the times, they're in the wrong place.
So what exactly has changed? Well, there is a new pope – Benedict XVI – who is, by all accounts, more traditional than his predecessor, Pope John Paul II. But I don't think that explains everything. The internet – and how Catholics are using it to communicate with each other – has played a huge part as well. Ten years ago, you would not often have a US archbishop criticising a wayward editorial in a British Catholic magazine. Nor would the laity have access to Vatican documents which they can print out to show to their local parish priest. The internet has changed all of this. Sure, the Catholic Church has always been about universals. But now Catholics have formed an online community they're becoming a more coherent force, and they won't be sidelined or misrepresented. President Obama and his liberal Catholic friends should take note.

EBay deletes call to change passwordsComment on this story
EBay issued a notice on its websites asking users to change their passwords, but took down the message a short time later without explanation.
The message, on its PayPal online payment unit's press and community website pages, did not say why passwords needed to be changed.
EBay and PayPal representatives were not immediately available for comment on the notice issued at 1:30 a.m. ET (08:30 SA time), which was previously reported by tech blog Engadget.
The message headline was "eBay Inc. To Ask All eBay Users To Change Passwords" but had no other information other than the words "place holder text".
No replacement message was issued on the PayPal site.
The link to the notice was replaced with one reading "The message you are trying to access is not available."
Reuters could not immediately verify if the website was hacked or if the message was posted in error.
In April, US web media company AOL Inc urged its tens of millions of email account holders to change their passwords and security questions after a cyber attack compromised about 2 percent of its accounts. - Reuters

IRS Form 8332: The Tricky Subject of Taxes, Divorce, & Children
Divorce is a tricky business in lots of ways, and taxes are no exception. When there are children involved, complications arise regarding which parent claims the child exemption on his or her federal income tax return.
Which parent gets custody is no business of the IRS, but who claims the child exemption is based on custody so it does matter when it comes to filing taxes. The rule of thumb is that the custodial parent is the one who gets to claim the exemption for a child or children.
Use Form 8332 to Give Away Your Right to Claim the Child Exemption
This is the rule of thumb but if both parents agree, they can override this standard and the noncustodial parent can claim the exemption. Remember, exemptions will reduce the tax bill of the individual taxpayer on the federal 1040 form.
Use IRS form 8332 to designate the noncustodial parent as the one with the right to claim the exemption for a child. You'll notice from the lengthy title of this form that it's also used to revoke that designation. Here's the full title of form 8332:
Release/Revocation of Release of Claim to Exemption for Child by Custodial Parent
Whew! Could they uses the word release a few more times in that title? The form is hardly a form, since it's just a handful of boxes to fill in and sign. Here's a link to the IRS website's pdf version of Form 8332 so you can download or take a look.
As you can see, all you do is name the child, the tax year, put your social security number, date, and sign it. If you want the release to last more than the current tax year, fill out part 2. Otherwise leave it blank. If you want to take back the release, fill out part 3. Otherwise leave it blank.
The noncustodial parent must attach Form 8332 to his or her tax return to prove he or she has the right to claim the child exemption.
What Else Can Form 8332 Do?
If you release your claim to exemption for your child to your ex, you are also giving him or her the right to claim the child tax credit. If you have more than one child and all are covered by the 8332, your ex-spouse also now has the right to claim the additional child tax credit. Of course, other normal qualifications still apply to those tax credits. They are not automatic.
Who is the Custodial Parent?
The custodial parent is the one with whom the child lived with more nights than the other. If the child live with each spouse completely equally, the spouse with the higher adjusted gross income is the custodial parent. See IRS Pub 501 for more details on custodial definitions.

Has anyone made an edible fruit arrangement....is anything done to the fruit to keep it from oozing...leaking...what ever you want to call it... I need to make one for my DGD's 9th birthday... Was just wondering how they keep the sliced fruit dry and fresh looking... Any thoughts would be helpful...
Thank you....

I've never made one but, now that you've brought it up, I want to! I found
THIS TUTE to get started.
Love to hear from someone who has made one. I'm wondering if you have to spritz it with something (like lemon water) to keep things from turning brown.
HERE'S my whole Google search.

Thank you so much for posting this. I've never heard of fruit bouquets. CHARMING!!!
I made several for my son's high school graduation...& before the rest of the guests arrived, after the ceremony, my son & his friends were "dehydrated" & ate all my centerpieces

Thank you for posting...
Although the edible fruit arrangement was to be a surprise for my DGD...it turned out that she was to spend the weekend with us...so the surprise turned into a fun project...she wanted to make sure that all 13 girls coming to her B'day party would get fruit on a stick... We used cookie cutters to punch out designs with the cantelope and honeydew and free formed cutting flowers from the slices of pineapple...cookie cutters did not work well with the pineapple...grapes where stacked on the skewers and some had sour gummies in between a grape which did not hold up well...but the 9 yo wanted them that way... All in all we did a fanastic job on it...and she loved it.
I did find a ss Pandora fruit bowl charm for her bracelet as part of her birthday present and gave it to her at her party... She was thrilled with it... Now the making of the edible fruit arrangement memory lives on in ss...
Thanks again for the help...Cheryl
