"Gun control is like Vatican Roulette: knowing when to shoot"
Gun Control is one of the 4 major issues in U.S. politics, along with flag burning, Somalian rights, and Mexican border-hopping. It has sparked much debate between the left-wing Socialist Hippie and Southern redneck factions both among civilians and in the United States Congress.
edit History
Gun Control has long been debated in the two houses of U.S. Congress. Since Americans like to sweep their own history under the rug (which is filled with war, slavery, and massacres of Native Americans), we will skip the entire history of gun control and instead go right to the post-2000 era, otherwise known as the "Dick Cheney missile craze".
edit 21st Century
After a brief hiatus at the beginning of the century, the Gun Control debate surfaced again to the forefront of U.S. politics when the Federal Assault Weapons Ban of 1994 expired. This caused the Hippies in Congress to clamor for an extension of the ban, simply because it went along perfectly with their radical agenda including Gay rights and protecting the environment.
The reason behind this failure to extend the ban was the NRA, an anarchist terrorism operation that gained significant political power by bribing politicians in Congress and educating a bunch of dumb hicks regarding new concepts such as "Constitutional rights" and "The Second Amendment". The NRA made sure that Assault Weapons would be allowed, arguing that hard-working Americans needed them for purposes such as "target shooting", "hunting", and "self defense". Other, smaller anarchist terrorism organizations such as the Gun Owners of America advocated even more reactionary policies, such as allowing hillbillies to carry guns next to schools. The reasoning given for this stance is that some of the hillbillies in question may actually be Vietnam War veterans with PTSD, in which case they most certainly should be allowed to bear arms near a school, as well as bear legs.
Shootings at public schools, private colleges, movie theaters, and other locations during this century have sparked renewed debate about the issue of Gun Control every time they happen. Most recently were the 2012 Aurora shooting in a movie theater in Colorado, and the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting. Incited by these incidents, many Hippies, Communists, and Environmental Wackos have protested in favor of an assault weapons ban. However, such a ban would take away "'r' freedom and heritages" as stated by one Karenga County redneck. As a solution to this problem, NRA Vice-President Wayne LaPierre, has proposed the sensible idea of bringing even more guns to the picture, putting forth a program of combating "bad guys with guns" with "good guys with guns". This would then result in bad guys with bigger guns, good guys with still bigger guns, bad guys with guns bigger than that, good guys with bigger guns still than that, and so on. Some rural southern towns have already embraced this idea, arming local PTSD veterans with weapons to help protect our schools, because bigger is better. It is widely believed that rent-a-cops in the schools with guns is a great idea, because we all know what a great job they do with mall security. An alternate plan is to hire trigger-happy hillbillies to guard the kids, by shooting any adult who comes within 100 yards of the school, especially if they are male and not wearing a suit and tie. Because men wearing suits and ties never shoot anyone, as we all know from evening mystery/crime TV shows, as well as the Godfather movie. An assault weapons ban would also give officers an excuse to arrest gun collectors for not handing over their possessions, which really should belong to the government anyways to pay for their share of the national deficit. Besides, they put out lots of lead bullets, and lead is bad for the environment unless you are a car built in the 1970s or before, in which case lead is quite welcome in the gas tank. Never mind that they can make plastic guns now so plastic bullets might soon be feasible, they'll complain about all the extra plastic in the environment after they're done complaining about the lead. Finally, environmentalists complain that shooting Bambi just isn't nice, and it is totally unfair to the deer to hunt it with an automatic weapon.
edit Regional and partisan divides
Views on gun control in the U.S. vary from state to state. There are three different types of states when it comes to this issue. First of all, there's the states of the Socialist Hippies mentioned earlier, who tend to restrict the sale of firearms in favor of other forms of entertainment such as pot, LSD, Heroin, tree hugging, and protesting. Next, there are the Conservative states, who compensate for their lack of a social life by allowing the sale of dangerous weapons that prove to be a wonderful form of entertainment. Finally, there are those rural, whitebread states, who are anti gun control because they want to own rifles and shotguns for hunting, but who vote Democratic because they're poor pieces of shit who want the welfare checks and are too lazy/uneducated to get a job like the rest of us. In fact, according to a recent study conducted by Irrelevant Statistics Inc., this demographic makes up over 75% of the nation's unemployed. Go figure.
edit Types of firearms
Guns are generally sorted into three different categories based on their uses. These categories are listed below.
edit "Long guns"
This refers to weapons used by hicks and rednecks to "go shootin' dose damn deer eatin' all o' ma corn". These weapons are designed for killing animals rather than people, which makes them morally sound for all of those southern Evangelicals to own. Since the people who use these guns were incapable of comprehending a more descriptive name for them, having on average only a fourth grade education, the term "Long guns" was coined.
edit Handguns
These guns are generally used for self-defense and minor crimes such as robberies, as they are too weak and inaccurate to actually hurt anyone. Many people still feel safer in their homes owning one. Robbers tend to fit them with large, intimidating twenty to thirty round clips so that they can threaten to miss twenty times and actually damage some stuff if all the cash isn't handed over to them instead of just miss a few times with no effect.
edit Assault Weapons
These guns are generally the type used to commit major crimes (such as mass murders), and were intended for military use when they were created. However, they are currently purchasable legally in the U.S. in most states so that a bunch of rich boys can "play with their toys". The Republicans in Congress make a compelling argument that if these guns were banned, the rich C.E.O.s not able to use them would experience lowered quality of life and have to raise their salary to compensate for this, meaning that there would be less money left in their companies for creating jobs. Some states continue to defy this sensible argument, calling it "illogical" and instituting assault weapon bans within their state. These states are justly labeled as "liberal" and "gay".

text: With numerous wins at the 2012 California State Fair, Wise Villa Winery continues to add to its list of accolades. It took home 13 medals at the prestigious wine competition. The winery owner and winemaker Dr. Grover Lee glowed with excitement as associate winemaker Kevin Luther rattled off the awards: three gold medals, six silver medals and four bronze medals. Add to this their recently awarded seven medals at the 2012 Orange County Fair. ?I can?t say I?m shocked but I?m absolutely excited and grateful that the judges were able to recognize the incredible quality of our wines,??Lee said. We put a lot of hard work and passion, from the vineyard to the bottle, into these wines and I feel that it shows,? said Lee. ?It?s funny to think how everyone told me that you couldn?t make great wine here in Placer County. But here we are, with award-winning wines made from grapes grown on our estate vineyards here in Lincoln.? Wise Villa won gold medals at the 2012 State Fair for their 2010 Petite Sirah, 2010 Touriga Nacional, and 2011 Torrontes, along with a gold medal at the 2012 Orange County Fair for their 2011 Pinot Noir ?Blanc De Noir.? Last year, at the 2011 California State Fair, the winery won gold medals for their 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon and 2009 Syrah (both of which won silver medals this year), as well as silver and bronze medals, and notably, the 2011 ?Best of Class? Cabernet Sauvignon for the Sierra Foothills (awarded to the best Cabernet Sauvignon for the region). Wise Villa Winery is home to 14 acres of estate vineyards located in the hills near Lincoln. Along with his Associate Winemaker & Manager, Kevin Luther, Wise Villa Winery produces small lots of hand-crafted wine, available for sale at the winery?s tasting room, open every Thursday through Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Their 2010 Zinfandel is also available at several local CostCo locations, and many of their wines are available at area fine dining locations. The winery is located at 4100 Wise Road in Lincoln. ~ Staff report

Violence Silence
Why no one really cares about prison rape.
The Prison Rape Elimination Act is better than nothing—unless, of course, it represents the last gesture politicians intend to make in the direction of addressing this problem. Assuming the study does not blinker reality by denying the prevalence of the problem, it will presumably mandate or exhort state and federal officials to monitor, train, and discipline prison staff and enhance inmate security—all under a threat of withdrawal of federal funds or the firing of negligent officials. Of course, the government would thereby be implicitly forcing prison officials to spend vast amounts of money they do not have and that Congress is unlikely to give state legislatures in the first place.
Perhaps while this federal study is under way, there are other, more honest ways of acknowledging what the American prison system has created. Perhaps every sentencing judge should require that a defendant headed for prison be given extensive "pre-rape counseling" in the hope that he or she can take some small personal steps to reduce the risk of attack. Or perhaps we could require judges to demand data about the differential risks of rape and assault for different types of prisoners in different prisons and begin to factor such data into any sentence. "You committed murder, so let's send you somewhere where you're really likely to be raped." In that way we will be at least as brutally honest with ourselves as we are literally brutal with our prisoners.

Question: What are the highlights of Guerrieri's performance on your team in the last two years?
Sam Schmidt: "Esteban came to SSM with a great deal of experience from Europe and an immense amount of raw talent. That was evident last year with him scoring five pole positions and being a contender in every event, but he didn't always finish the races. In 2012, the focus was on being more consistent and finishing every event first and foremost, which resulted in very limited damage and great results, which is what every IndyCar team owner is looking for."
Q: What is Guerrieri's real talent as a driver and what, in your opinion, are things he will need to improve?
SS: "His raw talent is clearly evident, as well as his ability to protect the equipment while giving 12/10ths. Going forward, he would effectively need to combine his blazing speed in qualifying in 2011 with his ability to finish consistently that he's developed in 2012."
Q: Do you feel Esteban's continuation in Indy Lights is unlikely? Why?
SS: "It is most likely time for him to move up. I believe the new Indy Car is suited to Esteban's driving style and he would be immediately quick at that level. Plus, he now has the experience required to be successful."
Q: Guerrieri was able to secure his sponsors and funding for the 2012 season of the Firestone Indy Lights at the last minute, what do you think about that and do you think that this fact impacted him negatively?
SS: "I don't think so. If it would have been his first year in Indy Lights, perhaps. But since it was his second year, he just picked up where he left off."
Q: Is there a chance for Guerrieri to be on your 2013 IndyCar team? Have you discussed this already?
SS: "Absolutely. We know he has the talent and would be pleased to bring him up to IndyCar if at all possible."
Q: If he moves to IndyCar, what do you see his contributions to the team being and would he have a chance to be in the 33 drivers of the Indy 500?
SS: "He would be treated exactly equal to Simon Pagenaud and expected to be competitive pretty quickly. He actually has a great deal more experience on the ovals than Simon, so there is no reason he would not make the Indy 500 and excel."

New Bloomfield has fielded a girls' golf team for the past four seasons and now they have a little hardware to show off. The Lady Wildcats had three medalists and shot a team score of 404 to win the Class 1 District 3 golf championship at Tanglewood Golf Course on Wednesday afternoon.
Ten schools participated in the competition, but only eight had enough members to place in the team standings. The Lady Wildcats bested Sacred Heart by 12 strokes to win the title.
Senior Ashtin Withers was New Bloomfield's high finisher with an 18-hole total of 82, good for third place. Senior Shannon Crumpton came in ninth place with a 99 and senior McKinzie Welschmeyer's round of 103 placed her in 12th place.
Freshman Ashley Kelley registered a score of 120 and sophomore Alex Withers had the shot a 124, though her score wasn't counted toward the final team count.
Ashtin Withers and Welschmeyer's scores were both personal best.
"Winning districts was a a team goal from the beginning of the year, and this was an outstanding effort by the entire team," New Bloomfield head coach Debbie Cuno said. "The seniors really stepped up and met the challenge and we are all looking forward to Sectionals."
The Lady Wildcats travel to the Redfield Golf Course in Eugene for Sectional play. They'll tee off next Wednesday at 9 a.m.

Judge reviews firing of county worker
Saturday, December 3, 2011
A special judge has taken arguments under advisement in the case of a Cole County circuit clerk employee trying to keep her job in that office.
On Friday, Osage County Associate Circuit Judge Bob Schollmeyer heard testimony in the case of Theressa Klebba against Circuit Clerk Brenda Umstattd.
Umstattd testified that, when the Boone County judges' panel ordered Klebba's reinstatement, Umstattd's staff had no idea what to do, because further investigations found more discrepancies where Klebba may have been involved.

Five-month-old out of surgery
Published: Saturday, April 21, 2012 at 4:09 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, April 21, 2012 at 4:09 p.m.
Hannah Dombrowski, the 5-month-old Wilmington girl who had been awaiting a heart transplant since Feb. 23, made it out of surgery Saturday morning.
According to a Facebook post by her father David Dombrowski on Saturday morning, Hannah had some minor obstacles in surgery but she overcame them.
"Absolutely at a loss for words to explain the feeling being able to lay eyes on Hannah again. She is continuing to be a true fighter," he said in the post. "Thank you for all the support from family and friends."
Hannah was one of three children younger than a year on the waiting list for a heart transplant in North Carolina. Hannah's surgery began Friday, a few hours after a heart suitable for transplant was found.

Oh yum, this meal is a feel good one indeed! The flavours of the herbs, veggies and pasta go great together and make for a delicious, satisfying healthy meal! Mmmm!
I eyeballed the amounts of veggies and since I didnt have fresh herbs on hand just used dried ones. It was super yummy nonetheless.
THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing this real keeper with us, Rita! Made and reviewed for Veggie Swap #30 January 2011.
This was a great alternative pasta meal with no guilt - but still very enjoyable and filling. Thanks for sharing!
This was really fresh and tasty. It was also very easy to make. A delightful summer meal. We'll definitely be adding to the summer rotation.

WHITE CLOSES WITH 37% MORE BUYERSWhite, the womenswear show held between Feb. 28 and Mar. 2 in the Tortona area of Milan, ended on a positive note, with 37% more buyers in attendance than in March. Specifically, there were 9,942 buyers, with 38% more Italians and 35% more foreigners on site. The overall number of visitors was 12,550, with 591 Italian and foreign journalists.
The show registered significant attendance as of the first day (some 4,500 buyers) and the mood was generally optimistic and lively. Foreigners came from the Far East, from countries such as Japan and Hong Kong, as well as the US; the number of Europeans, particularly from the UK, Germany, France, Spain and Greece, also grew. Russian and Eastern European countries also increased their presence.
A party held at the Grand Hotel De Milan presenting a range of new talents exhibiting at White kicked off the first day of the show with 400 participants, including top buyers, entrepreneurs, young designers, showrooms and press people. The day after, the Mayor of Milan Letizia Moratti visited the show and expressed enthusiasm for the show.
"The results of this edition of White are encouraging," said Massimiliano Bizzi, President of M.Seventy, organizer of the White umbrella of shows. "They are a confirmation that Milan can be a key location for international fashion business initiatives." Said Simona Severini, White General Manager: "The strategic decision to enlarge the show including the former Ansaldo areas confirm the validity of our scouting and selecting new brands appreciated by buyers. The trade show's DNA hasn't changed [and there still is a] positive and relaxed atmosphere pervading the event."
This season, White doubled its exhibiting space, occupying 4,500 sq. meters and hosting 350 brands. The show, in addition to its former location in Superstudiopiù Via Tortona 27, also occupied the Via Torona 54, ex-Ansaldo areas, formerly a train carriage manufacturing site. This new area, while restructured, maintained an aged, poetic feel and was home to the White Beauty section, offering 24 high-end cosmetic and beauty brands.
The new location also hosted several unique brands such as Gudrun & Gudrun, a brand from the North Atlantic Sea Faroe Islands (between Iceland and Norway). The brand offered a unique collection of handmade knitwear, plus 100% non-treated organic wool items. Mauro Grifoni Denim, Piera wits its handmade accessories and Carta & Costura, which offered innovative treated fabrics, rounded out the unique offerings.
A selection of upcoming designers also included brands such as Coliac Martina Grasselli with its oversize jewelry in metal and plastic, and Norwegian Rain, with its waterproof thermosealed technical outerwear garments.
A group of eco-friendly projects was also presented in the section called Selection by C.L.A.S.S. Among them, Borrello & Co. offered certified eco-minded woven labels and recycled paper packaging components. Fashion Helmet offered Ingeo fabrics while Rizieri showcased shoes made with zero-impact materials.
The basement area showcased a unique environment consisting of high-end international experimental brands including Dmajuscule, Marsell and Vozianov Atelier.

Sophomore Josh Makin (Lethbridge, Alberta/Catholic Central) has been instrumental in the successes of the Keuka College men's volleyball team.
In 2013, Keuka's first year with a team, Makin, an outside hitter, earned second-team All-North Eastern Athletic Conference (NEAC) honors as the Storm captured the NEAC postseason championship.
As a talented student-athlete, Makin relies on athletic trainer Jeff Bray and assistant athletic trainer Gabrielle Lorusso to keep him healthy and on the court, despite the assorted nicks and bruises that occur during the volleyball season.
During the January Field Period™, Makin landed a joint Field Period™ with Rebound Health Center in Lethbridge, Alberta and Ocean Physical Therapy in San Clemente, Calif.
His appreciation for physical therapy started before Makin arrived on campus. When he was 17, Makin tore his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and had reconstructive surgery before enduring a grueling, six-month rehabilitation.
Recognizing the important role physical therapists play in not only athletics, but in day-to-day life, Makin, a biology major, decided he wanted to become a physical therapist once he graduates from Keuka.
His latest Field Period™ only reaffirmed his passion for physical therapy."I chose physical therapy as a career path due to the amount of rehabilitation that I had to go after tearing my ACL, and the results that can be gained when physical therapy is properly utilized," said Makin, who lists working as a physical therapist for a professional sports team as his dream job.
"My physical therapy was long, but each time I went, I saw improvement. What I enjoy most about physical therapy is the improvement that patients see if they are properly motivated."
While on his joint Field Period™, Makin observed the different treatments administered to the patients while setting up the assorted treatment machines, administering ultrasound treatments and providing ice and heat packs for patients.
Makin also spent time studying the business side of physical therapy, and said working for both a Canadian physiotherapist and an American physical therapist allowed him a broader understanding of how the skill is practiced differently in Canada than it is in the United States.
"This Field Period helped to affirm my passion for physical therapy," said Makin, who added the main differences came down to techniques for certain treatments.
"Not all patients are properly motivated to get better, but there are many who are. To be a good physical therapist, you must be patient, understanding and a problem solver. You need to know what you are doing when assessing and treating a patient."

Just read Kerry Fraser's responce questioning the delay of game call on AAron Johnson in the Montreal game. Fraser acknowledges that Johnson's deflection, for many years, was "usually" ignored , especially late in the game. However he qualified it by saying the interpretation today makes it mandatory for refs to call "any" over the glass result a delay of game penalty, because the defending player is expected to make a "positive play" on the puck, not just a swat. Hopefully the officials have made this clear to the players as some of us older viewers thought it was a bum call

The B's didn't lose because of the penalty.. they lost because of a flukie Chara own goal.

I would also say that the puck off Seidenberg's stick to his face, to the Hab's stick looking at a wide open net was a bit odd too.
A bad pinch by Ference with a 4-2 lead(& no too many men penalty during that play either) contributed to a bizarre, demoralizing finish....
Not excuses, only reasons.

when one can't sew....
With no sewing machine in sight anytime soon, I have had to dig into my past a bit and try to find some others way to do a bit of creating. I had made a piece similar to this one when little A was younger and really having a hard time with his Asthma. It was intended as an "I'm always thinking about you" from mother to son, with an added touch of A's own personal dinosaur drawing in the background. It was a way for me to document a time in his life that has honestly caused lots of worry and stress, but also became a therapeutic outlet for me as well. I decided to make another one, as fitting as it is for the past couple of weeks we have gone through, and am really pleased with how it turned out. I am going to hopefully take some time tonight to get a variation ready for a print purchase in the shop. what do you think?

Bay County native and former head of the Florida Senate W. D. Childers has lost the first appeal of his bribery conviction.
In a 77-page opinion handed down Thursday, the First District Court of Appeals upheld Childers' conviction on bribery and unlawful compensation or reward for official behavior.
His conviction stems from a land purchase involving a soccer complex in Pensacola while Childers was an Escambia County commissioner. That was after he retired from the Florida Senate.
The appeals court also ruled Escambia County is eligible for compensation so it can recover more than $1 million it lost in the deal.
Childers was born and raised in West Bay in Bay County and later moved to Pensacola. He was the dean of the Florida Senate before his retirement.

In one of the few Denver establishments with happy football fans Saturday night, celebrations lasted long into the night in the "Tailgate Room" of Blake Street Tavern — a spot reserved for New England Patriots fans.
Fans wore Patriots uniforms, sported Patriots hats and stood and cheered and high-fived late into Saturday's playoff game against the Denver Broncos — long after most of the orange-clad Bronco fans had left or as those who stayed quietly nursed their beers for consolation.
The New England fans were comfortably pleased as the Patriots jumped out to an early lead against the hometown team and, well, never let up.
"I feel bad for Denver," said Kathleen O'Connell, who moved in March to Denver from Boston and found the bar after looking on the Internet for a place for Patriots fans to meet up. "They have been waiting for a quarterback since John Elway. But it's not (Tim) Tebow's night tonight."
The banquet room, lined with flat-screen TVs and set off from the main bar, was filled mostly with New England fans and a few disgruntled Broncos fans who, as the night wore on, seemed to tire of the endless celebration by the other side.
"This is great," said Darrow Fontera, who moved from Boston to Colorado in 2003. "It's packed with Patriots fans, and, fortunately, this year we are having a good year."
Boston fans couldn't help breaking into song, shouting out chants that are usually bellowed at Boston Bruins hockey games or at Red Sox baseball games.
"In Denver, the Broncos are one, two and three in terms of favorite teams," said Mike Banville, who moved to Denver from Boston 1 1/2 years ago. "But in Boston, it's the Red Sox No. 1 and then the Patriots."
Banville stood for the first half with his buddy Todd Szczebak, both wearing Patriots jerseys. Both applauded with most of the bar when television cameras zoomed in on Patriots coach Bill Belichick, who Banville said at halftime would probably run up the score against the Broncos.
"In Belichick we trust," Szczebak said.
"Denver has a good football culture," Szczebak said. "But we're glad there is this bar. It feels like home."
That same sentiment was felt by Kevin Gallagher, who was visiting from Boston on Saturday and joined his compatriots.
"There are Boston and New England fans wherever you go," he said. "It makes it feel like home a little bit."
His friend Lauren Perry has been coming to the bar all season to root on the Patriots. She said Saturday's victory was extra sweet because the Broncos seem to have always had New England's number.
"I hate the Broncos because they always beat us," she said late into the third quarter with the game well in hand for New England.
"I still hate them. But this is how it should be."

There has been a lot of negativity in the media and news about what happened in Tallahassee this year, a recent Suwannee Valley Rotary speaker started out saying, and added the truth of the matter is everyone goes up there with several priorities in mind.
Bob Batsel, general counsel and director of government relations with the College of Central Florida, presented an update on the legislative session and spoke of twin issues related to health care funding and the prospect of a Medicaid expansion.
As part of an executive order by President Barack Obama, career and technical education students will now be able to be designated as U.S. Presidential Scholars.
The Levy County School Board has hired a new food service coordinator and like her predecessor, she is very passionate about what she does.
"She's very enthusiastic and very qualified," Levy County School Board Assistant Superintendent of Administration Jeff Edison said of Julia Oberst, the Bronson resident who was hired for the position following Becky Tyson's departure.
People came out in droves for a standing room only school board meeting to express their concerns over the end of transportation provided by Levy County for Yankeetown area students to Dunnellon High School.
Featured by U.S. News and World Report, America's Best High Schools, Chiefland High School Principal Matthew McLelland, pictured far right, received a silver award on behalf of Chiefland High School which ranked 135 in the state.
Also pictured, from left to right, with bronze awards are Principals John Lott for Bronson High School, Eulin Gibbs for Williston High School and Darby Allen for Cedar Key School.
The late Robert Philpot, retired Williston High School teacher and Levy County School Board member, was one of a kind, devoting his teaching career to molding youth.
And that could be why it will take a while for Gov. Rick Scott to find the right person to fill Philpot's old seat on the school board.
According to a spokesperson for Scott, four people have applied for appointment to the unexpired term:
• Bradley Etheridge, a Williston cattleman and businessman,
• Rob Sistrunk
Josue R. Martinez of Chiefland, a class of 2015 graduate, was named to the Dean's List at Thomas University for the Spring Semester 2015.
Dean's List students attend TU full-time and have a GPA of 3.5 to 3.99.Thomas University, established in 1950, is a private not-for-profit university of about 1,100 students located in Thomasville, Ga. TU awards associate, bachelor's and master's degrees using traditional classroom settings and online delivery.
Christy Jones' class went to Wild Adventures on Tuesday, May 26, a celebration of a yearlong mentoring program set up with Chiefland High School's HOSA (Health Occupations Students of America) junior class led by Kelly Beauchamp. Beauchamp's HOSA students came once a week during the school year and mentored students in Jones' class at Chiefland Elementary.
The students of the month for May were recently honored at the Chiefland City Commission meeting. Aubreigh Brown, daughter of Jason and Stephanie Brown, is in the third grade at Chiefland Elementary School. The nomination by the teachers said, "Aubreigh is a hardworking student dedicated to doing her personal best. She is thoughtful and kind to classmates, and a team player."
The School Board of Levy County decided unanimously to send a letter to Gov. Rick Scott requesting an executive order to suspend the use of certain assessments.
Superintendent Bob Hastings presented the letter to the board during their meeting on Tuesday evening. He read the letter aloud, which highlighted the school board does support and value accountability for everyone in the educational process and said, "However, we insist the measures must be valid, reliable equitable and fully funded."

Industrial Giant ABB Announces Plans for Worldwide Electric Vehicle Charging Network
Posted By Andrew Michler On February 7, 2012 @ 3:05 pm In Electric Cars,Environment,Green Transportation,Innovation,News,Renewable Energy | 1 Comment
Switzerland-based industrial machine behemoth ABB [1] just announced plans to throw its weight behind a massive network of electric vehicle charging stations [2] across Europe, the US, and Asia. The company plans to integrate chargers into smart grid systems [3] and allow drivers to juice up their electric vehicles [4] while they are out and about. The announcement is a big nod that the nascent electric car market is set to boom – sources project that over 5 million EVs will be sold each year by 2017, and the charger market is valued at $1 billion.
Having an industrial giant get behind car charging infrastructure is a huge boost to the industry [5]. It's a chicken or egg scenario where people will not buy EV [4]s unless they can charge them away from home, and companies and governments won't install charging stations unless there are enough cars to support the investment.
ABB has decided to jump with car manufactures into the brave new world of electrified transportation with a range of technologies which will not only charge a car, but improve how our entire electrical grid will run. Answering the projected need for nearly 7.7 million charging stations in the next 5 years, ABB is developing system that will be able to quickly charge a car and make better use of energy from stressed electrical grids — curtailing use during peak demand and charging when supply is abundant.
ABB is working with [6] German energy supplier RWE to develop and prove the technology. They are a key supplier for wind turbines, so their expertise with developing clean technologies and linking them together [7] is very promising.
For consumers, the prospect of shopping or going to work and filling up their batteries – possibly for free – is a huge incentive to take the EV plunge.

Spring 2004 brought about new economic growth to downtown Valdosta, as nearly a dozen new businesses were planning to set up shop. Months later though, some of those shops have
"We still have storefronts that we're working to fill, but we do have a good variety downtown, and we have people coming downtown for the Christmas season to see it."
Businesses that have fled downtown say parking was their biggest issue, but advocates say there is plenty of parking just one block off the main streets.
"Downtown business leaders say they actually want to see more folks come and fill these empty store fronts because they say bringing in new business would be good for everyone involved."
"More business means more business. More people would have reason to come downtown. I think we're already seeing a lot of people come here just to walk around and see what we do have down here."
So while downtown Valdosta has not been completely transformed in the past few months, leaders say growing downtown business remains top priority.
"It important that downtown be strong and stable and be an integral part of economic development."
If it's not, the remaining downtown businesses will certainly feel the effect.

Pretty Little Liars
Shay Mitchell Relives Some of Emily's Toughest Moments on Pretty Little Liars
Emily Fields (Shay Mitchell) is arguably Pretty Little Liars' coolest character. She explores her sexuality despite not fitting into the heteronormative mold, regularly faces off against "A", and has bravely moved past her dream of being a collegiate swimmer in the wake of an "A" game-related injury. Basically, she's a badass — and ABC Family is recognizing that with a featurette of Em's toughest moments. Check it out!
TVLine has an exclusive look at the featurette, hosted by Shay herself. In introducing the vid, the PLL star gushes about her on-screen counterpart, saying: "I personally feel that Emily Fields has been a privilege to play because I do think of her as a role model for a lot of our viewers. Not only has Emily come to terms with her sexuality, but she's also had her share of crazy moments. Here's just a few of my favorite Emily moments over the past four seasons…" Moments included in the montage:
Paige tries to drown Emily.
Emily's cereal is filled with "A"s in the school cafeteria.
The police find Maya's body.
The Liars trapped in a Thornhill Lodge on fire.
Emily tells her father she's gay.
Emily fights off Lyndon James in the top of a lighthouse.
"A" drives a car into Emily's house.
Emily's dad climbs the side of the school to save a trapped Em from "A."
And that's only a fraction of the stuff Emily has been through! Shay also teases that we will "find out what's going to happen with Emily, Paige, Alison, and the other PLLs" come Season 5, which sounds promising to us. Writer Joseph Dougherty called the Emily/Paige/Alison dynamic "arguably...the most interesting love triangle of the season." Sign us up for more amazing Emily moments!
What are your favorite Emily Fields moments? Sound off in the comments below!
Catch the Pretty Little Liars Season 5 premiere on Tuesday, June 10, 2014 at 8 p.m. ET on ABC Family.

Your Opinion: Sequestration doesn't cut spending
Wednesday, February 27, 2013
Dear Editor:
This morning I finally heard a "talking head" on TV tell a little of the truth about sequestration. There are no cuts involved with sequestration, sequestration only slows the growth of federal spending.
According to the Congressional Budget Office, if sequestration is allowed to run its course federal spending will still increase from $3.5 trillion in 2012 to $5.9 trillion in 2023. Don't forget, Obama is already spending a trillion dollars a year more than Bush and twice what was spent under Clinton. Even with the sequestration cuts the national debt will rise from its current level of $16.5 trillion to $20 trillion in 2023.
For perspective, when Clinton took office in 1993 the national debt was $4 trillion, when Bush took office in 2001 it was $5.6 trillion, when Obama took office in 2009 it was $10 trillion, it is currently $16.5 trillion. Under Clinton the debt increased $1.6 trillion, under Bush it increased $6.1 trillion, under Obama, in less than five years, it has increased $6.5 trillion.
A couple of points worthy of mention. Even though government receipts/income increased during the Bush presidency, he increased the national debt by $4.5 trillion more than Clinton. Only $1.6 trillion of the increase was for national defense. When Clinton left office national defense spending was $393 billion (in 2012 dollars) or 20.7 percent of total spending. It is currently over $700 billion, 18.5 percent of total spending. In 2007 we had over 170,000 troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. By the end of this summer the troops will be home. We are being asked to believe that a $42 billion cut in defense spending is going to cripple the military.
Rather than getting by with only spending a trillion a year more than Bush, the politicians and bureaucrats in D.C. just have to have more of our money to support their fiefdoms. Face it, they see us as serfs and themselves as our benevolent masters. In their views "We the People" are just not capable of deciding how best to spend the money we have earned. In their view we are to stingy to assist with the care of those around us who are in need. With few exceptions those in D.C. regularly show their contempt for the law abiding, hard working citizens of this nation.

Holiday travel expected to jump this year
By: Jenifer Gee Journal News Editor
CHP maximum enforcement starts Friday
While the weather this week has been less than summer-like, surveys predict that more people will travel this weekend to celebrate the kickoff to warmer temperatures. According to AAA, an estimated 4 million California residents are expected to travel 50 or more miles this weekend, which represents a 7.8 percent increase from 2009. "Despite a challenging economy, travel is expected to rebound for this Memorial Day," Cynthia Harris, AAA Northern California spokesperson, said in a news release. Lynn Saunders, president and CEO of the Truckee-Donner Chamber of Commerce, said she expects to see a larger than normal weekend crowd over Memorial Day. "It's the kickoff to summer and people are out and about looking for that vacation, relaxing, get-away experience," Saunders said. Saunders said the Truckee area has plenty of activities to offer weekenders including hiking and bike riding trails, a few golf courses are now open and some of the meadows in the area are starting to spring wildflowers. "Even though we've had a prolonged winter, there are still a lot of things that you can enjoy in the fresh, clean mountain air," Saunders said. Shonne Elgin, owner of Havalark Travel in Auburn, said she hasn't had a large influx of people making travel plans for this weekend. "I think this holiday just snuck up on people," Elgin said. Elgin suggested that cooler temperatures this week were partly to blame. According to the National Weather Service, this week the Auburn area saw 60-degree weather and showers, with that weather pattern predicted to last through Friday. Saturday and Sunday's forecast predict sunnier, warmer weather in the mid-to-high 70s. Elgin said typically travelers make big plans for the 4th of July weekend and Labor Day. For this weekend, Elgin said trips to San Francisco or San Diego are good options for those seeking a nice, quick getaway. For those who will be heading out onto the road, the California Highway Patrol is alerting motorists that Friday evening marks the start of a weekend maximum enforcement period. The Memorial Day enforcement period starts 6 p.m. Friday and last through 11:59 p.m. Monday. During this time, officers from the Auburn Highway Patrol office as well as those from Gold Run, Grass Valley and Yuba-Sutter, will be out looking for high-speed and potentially impaired drivers. Targeted roadways include Interstate 80, Highway 49, Highway 65, Auburn Folsom and Baseline roads and Douglas Boulevard. Drivers and their passengers are also encouraged to buckle up. "Always make sure everyone in your vehicle is properly restrained in their seatbelt and child safety seat before you leave for your destination," Bill Donovan, Auburn California Highway Patrol commander, said in a news release. "You will keep your loved ones safe during your travel on the roadways." Reach Jenifer Gee at email@example.com.

Knights go for 2nd straight title
Bob St. John Sports Editor
write the author
Can the Liggett boys' baseball team win a second straight state championship? Last year it was Division 4, but this spring it would be in Division 3.
March 27, 2014
University Liggett boys' baseball team returns to the diamond in 2014 as defending Division 4 state champions.
The Knights also won the D4 title in 2011 with a 31-4 record, plus made the championship game in 2012, but lost.
Can they make it back to the big stage for a fourth straight time? They moved up to Division 3 and a potential roadblock is three-time state champ Madison Heights Bishop Foley.
"This is a great test for this program, moving up to D3," head coach Dan Cimini said. "We have a nice team and it would be great to face Bishop Foley in the state playoffs. It would be a big challenge and a great game.
"We have a long way to go before that could even happen and we're excited to get going. We have a lot of depth and guys fighting for spots."
Leading the way are seniors Anthony Simon, Adam Fiema, Patrick Broder, Cole Zingas and Ian Clark.
Other returning players are juniors Robert Kaiser, Jacob Smith and All-State shortstop Nick Azar, plus sophomores Sean Fannon, Joseph Cipriano and Matthew Gushee.
Newcomers to the team are senior John George, junior David Newman, and freshmen Connor McCarron, Gehrig Anglin, Teddy Wujek and Jackson Walkowiak.
The Knights are the favorites to once again win the Michigan Independent Athletic Conference. As usual, the league's teams are good and it includes Ann Arbor Greenhills, Sterling Heights Parkway Christian, Lutheran Westland, Novi Franklin Road Christian and Allen Park Inter-City Baptist.
"This division is tough from top to bottom, which makes every game tough," Cimini said. "It's not going to be easy to repeat as MIAC champs, but it will make us a better team with an improved league."
Cimini drew up a tough non-league schedule which includes L'Anse Creuse, Detroit Western International, Utica, Armada, Royal Oak Shrine, Blissfield, U-D Jesuit, Novi Detroit Catholic Central, Warren Woods-Tower, Dakota and Brother Rice.
A glaring exception on the schedule is the absence of Grosse Pointe North and Grosse Pointe South.
It's the first time in a decade the Knights will not play their city rivals.
"We love playing North and South and it's too bad they are not on our schedule," Cimini said. "But, we worry about the teams on our schedule and trying to win another state title."

Cervix Uteri
Methods for Cervical Ripening and Induction of Labor - Article
ABSTRACT: Induction of labor is common in obstetric practice. According to the most current studies, the rate varies from 9.5 to 33.7 percent of all pregnancies annually. In the absence of a ripe or favorable cervix, a successful vaginal birth is less likely. Therefore, cervical ripening or preparedness for induction should be assessed before a regimen is selected. Assessment is accomplished by calculating a Bishop score. When the Bishop score is less than 6, it is recommended that a cervical ripening agent be used before labor induction. Nonpharmacologic approaches to cervical ripening and labor induction have included herbal compounds, castor oil, hot baths, enemas, sexual intercourse, breast stimulation, acupuncture, acupressure, transcutaneous nerve stimulation, and mechanical and surgical modalities. Of these nonpharmacologic methods, only the mechanical and surgical methods have proven efficacy for cervical ripening or induction of labor. Pharmacologic agents available for cervical ripening and labor induction include prostaglandins, misoprostol, mifepristone, and relaxin. When the Bishop score is favorable, the preferred pharmacologic agent is oxytocin.
Diaphragm Fitting - Article
ABSTRACT: When used with a spermicide, the diaphragm can be a more effective barrier contraceptive than the male condom. The diaphragm allows female-controlled contraception. It also provides moderate protection against sexually transmitted diseases and is less expensive than some contraceptive methods (e.g., oral contraceptive pills). However, diaphragm use is associated with more frequent urinary tract infections. Contraindications to use of a diaphragm include known hypersensitivity to latex (unless the wide seal rim diaphragm is used) or a history of toxic shock syndrome. A diaphragm is fitted properly if the posterior rim rests comfortably in the posterior fornix, the anterior rim rests snugly behind the pubic bone, and the cervix can be felt through the dome of the device. The diaphragm should not be left in the vagina for longer than 24 hours. When the diaphragm is the chosen method of contraception, patient education is key to compliance and effectiveness. An extended visit with the physician or a nurse may be required for a woman to learn proper insertion, removal, and care of the diaphragm.
Management of Histologic Abnormalities of the Cervix - Article
ABSTRACT: The American Society for Colposcopy and Cervical Pathology sponsored a consensus conference in 2001 to develop evidence-based guidelines for women with histologic abnormalities of the cervix. The options for management of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia 1, 2, and 3 are ranked according to the strength of the recommendation and the quality of the evidence. Follow-up with repeat cytology at six and 12 months or DNA testing for high-risk types of human papillomavirus at 12 months is the preferred management approach for women with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia 1 and satisfactory initial colposcopy. If results from repeat cytology are reported as atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance or greater, or if DNA human papillomavirus testing is positive for oncogenic types of the virus, repeat colposcopy is preferred. When the initial colposcopy is unsatisfactory, a diagnostic excisional procedure is preferred. Follow-up without treatment is acceptable only in women who are pregnant and adolescents with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia 1 who had unsatisfactory colposcopy. Biopsy-confirmed cervical intraepithelial neoplasia 2 and 3 requires treatment except during pregnancy and in compliant adolescents with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia 2 and negative endocervical curettage. When colposcopy is satisfactory, treatment includes ablative or excisional procedures. A diagnostic excisional procedure is recommended in women with biopsy-confirmed cervical intraepithelial neoplasia 2 or 3 and unsatisfactory colposcopy.
Labor Induction: A Decade of Change - Editorials
ACOG Releases Guidelines on Cervical Cytology Screening - Practice Guidelines
Update on ASCCP Consensus Guidelines for Abnormal Cervical Screening Tests and Cervical Histology - Article
ABSTRACT: New data have emerged since publication of the American Society for Colposcopy and Cervical Pathology's 2001 consensus guidelines for management of abnormal cervical cytology and histology. The 2006 guidelines include recommendations for special populations (i.e., adolescents and pregnant women). Human papillomavirus testing is now included for management of atypical glandular cytology, for follow-up after treatment for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia, and in combination with cytologic screening in women 30 years and older. The preferred management of atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance in adult women is reflex human papillomavirus DNA testing. Colposcopy is recommended for adult women with low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion, atypical glandular cells, high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia, and atypical squamous cells-cannot exclude high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia. Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia, grade 1 can be managed conservatively in adult women, but treatment for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia, grades 2 and 3 is recommended. Immediate treatment is an option for adult women but not for adolescents with high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion. Conservative management of adolescents with any cytologic or histologic diagnosis except specified cervical intraepithelial neoplasia, grade 3 and adenocarcinoma in situ is recommended. Colposcopy is preferred for pregnant women with low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion and high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion, but evaluation of the former may be deferred until no earlier than six weeks postpartum. Treatment during pregnancy is unacceptable unless invasive carcinoma is identified.
Transcervical Amnioinfusion - Article
ABSTRACT: Amnioinfusion is being used to treat intrapartum problems known to be associated with fetal compromise, including prophylactic treatment of oligohydramnios during labor and after premature rupture of the membranes, treatment of severe variable decelerations during labor and reducing the risk of meconium aspiration during labor in patients with thick meconium fluid. The procedure is considered effective and easy to perform, with the benefits outweighing the risks.
HPV Testing in the Evaluation of the Minimally Abnormal Papanicolaou Smear - Article
ABSTRACT: Minor cytologic abnormalities of the cervix, such as atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASCUS), are vastly more common than high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions or invasive cancer. Current guidelines for the management of ASCUS include repeating the Papanicolaou (Pap) smear at specific intervals, referring all patients for colposcopy or using an adjunctive test such as hybrid capture human papillomavirus (HPV) testing or cervicography. The usefulness of the Pap smear is limited by its considerable false-negative rate and its dependence on clinician and laboratory performance. Colposcopy is a highly sensitive procedure, but many patients with ASCUS have normal colposcopic findings. The hybrid capture test not only measures quantitative HPV load but also detects both oncogenic and nononcogenic HPV types, thereby increasing the probability that serious cervical disease is not missed. Hybrid capture sampling is simple to perform, and positive results are strongly associated with cervical dysplasia. HPV testing in women with ASCUS can be used as an adjunctive test to identify those with HPV-associated disease; it can also serve as a quality assurance measure. Together, repeat Pap smears and HPV testing should identify most patients with underlying cervical dysplasia. Combined testing may also minimize the number of unnecessary colposcopic examinations in women who have no disease.
Gynecologic Procedures: Colposcopy, Treatments of Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia, and Endometrial Assessment - Article
ABSTRACT: Women who have abnormal Papanicolaou test results may undergo colposcopy to determine the biopsy site for histologic evaluation. Traditional grading systems do not accurately assess lesion severity because colposcopic impression alone is unreliable for diagnosis. The likelihood of finding cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2 or higher increases when two or more cervical biopsies are performed. Excisional and ablative methods have similar treatment outcomes for the eradication of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia. However, diagnostic excisional methods, including loop electrosurgical excision procedure and cold knife conization, are associated with an increased risk of adverse obstetric outcomes, such as preterm labor and low birth weight. Methods of endometrial assessment have a high sensitivity for detecting endometrial carcinoma and benign causes of uterine bleeding without unnecessary procedures. Endometrial biopsy can reliably detect carcinoma involving a large portion of the endometrium, but is suboptimal for diagnosing focal lesions. A 3- to 4-mm cutoff for endometrial thickness on transvaginal ultrasonography yields the highest sensitivity to exclude endometrial carcinoma in postmenopausal women. Saline infusion sonohysteroscopy can differentiate globally thickened endometrium amenable to endometrial biopsy from focal abnormalities best assessed by hysteroscopy. Hysteroscopy with directed biopsy is the most sensitive and specific method of diagnosing endometrial carcinoma, other than hysterectomy.
