BCSO searches for missing manPublished 9:31pm Friday, February 1, 2013
Local law enforcement is enlisting the help of the public to find a missing Aurora man.
Relatives called the Beaufort County Sheriff's Office to report of Markeith Terill Jones, 20, missing on the morning of Jan. 25.
According to a press release from the sheriff's office, family members told investigators that Jones left his house on Spring Creek Road at 12:30 p.m. Jan. 17 to go play basketball at the Aurora school grounds.
"He was reported to have been walking to play basketball," said Lt. Jamie Cahoon, adding that she estimated the walk from Jones' residence to the basketball court to be three to four miles.
Jones reportedly never arrived at the basketball court and has not been seen, nor heard from, since, said the release.
On the day of his disappearance, Jones was wearing jeans, a brown-striped shirt and black sneakers. He is approximately 5 feet, 7 inches tall and weighs about 150 pounds.
Sheriff's office investigators are asking anyone who has information on the whereabouts of Jones to call the sheriff's office at 252-946-7111 or contact Beaufort County Crime Stoppers. To contact Crime Stoppers, call 252-974-6400; text a tip anonymously by dialing 274637 on a cellphone and in the body of the message type BCSO131 and the tip; or submit a tip through the Crime Stoppers website, www.beaufortcountycrimestoppers.com, by following the "Tip Line" link and filling out an online form. Calls, texts and emails are anonymous. Crime Stoppers will pay up to $1,000 for information that leads to an arrest in this case. Tipsters do not have to give their names to receive rewards.

Anyone used Colonial Life before? I haven't been real successful on finding reviews about the company online and their benefits/services. My husband and I got it for their short term disability policies, specifically of course for future maternity leave. Any advice? Anyone know if there's a waiting period for benefits? Anyone have trouble filing a claim to get Colonial to pay out?

i dont know much about them, but if you cant find anything on them, prolly not a good bet to put your money into their company...
go with a long term committment with a company you have heard of, can trust, that you can actually know how to get ahold of.
i used to work for state farm, they have a really good reputation (no i dont work there anymore, sahm now), but i feel good about paying my money to them.. i know there are at least 20 offices here in my town, and they are all over the U.S and canada, so if for whatever reason i have a question, need something etc, i can go in and talk to them. if we move, i can move my policies to another state no issues.. that, and they have been around for a loooong time. they know what they are doing with your money..
hehe .. so yeah, just choose a good company. i know new york life has been around for a long time too, and they have a good reputation as well. if i didnt already have so much with state farm, i would have went to them.
just my 2 cents =)
I had short term disability through Colonial & they were easy to work with. They paid me 75% of my monthly salary upon the birth of my baby. Filing the claim was easy: my o.b. filled out one form & I faxed it to them. I received the check in about a week. HTH.

Sunshine252, thank you so much! I haven't heard anything "bad," I just really hadn't heard anything at all. Did you have a waiting period from when you signed on with the policy and when you could file a claim for benefits?

As far as I can remember, there was no waiting period just a pre-existing condition clause:
Taken from their website:
'The VSTD plan is offered with guaranteed issue (no health questions) for all employees who enroll during their initial eligibility period. However, pre-existing conditions are excluded." (http://www.coloniallife.com/Policies/voluntary-benefits/disability.asp)

It is not covered if you give birth within the first 9 months since you obtained the policy. I have that same coverage, and I just read the rider.

Education for Map Makers
Since its foundation in 1963 the British Cartographic Society has had the advancement and development of education for prospective map makers as one of its principal objectives. To this end members of the Education Committee have played an active part in the establishment of national schemes for the education and training of cartographers. These have included Ordinary and Higher National Certificates and Diplomas, which have subsequently been converted into National Vocational Qualifications (N.V.Q.s) awarded through the Business and Technology Education Council, and Scottish Vocational Qualifications (S.V.Q.s) administered by the Scottish Vocational Education Council. Most recently B.C.S. has been involved in the development of Level 4 N.V.Q. and S.V.Q. schemes in 'Spatial Data Management'.
Calling all educators
Are you involved in Cartographic education? Teacher, Trainer, Training provider, Education developer, Employer or Staff development officer.
The Education Committee is seeking contacts with everyone in the cartographic business who has an interest in training, knowledge and skills development.
The geographic information revolution of the last 10 -15 years has greatly affected, one may even suggest thrown into confusion, the education world and its traditional offerings in terms of academic and vocational training.
This note is an initial attempt to;
* offer individuals or organisations an opportunity to express opinions,
* update knowledge of cartographic education and training in UK and abroad,
* develop contacts - with the profession, with existing and potential teachers of cartography and with affiliated disciplines.
If you have anything to offer the Committee, opinions or suggestions, in the field of cartographic education, please get in touch:

Wolves' Dante Cunningham allegedly strangled girlfriend to point she thought she was dying
Cunningham's mugshot
:::: UPDATE :::: Timberwolves' Dante Cunningham arrested for second time in week
Timberwolves forward Dante Cunningham has been charged with felony domestic assault by strangulation a day after he was arrested after 4 a.m. at his Medina residence.
Cunningham and his girlfriend started dating last summer, but recently they've been having problems, she told police. They had a particularly heated argument Thursday morning following the Timberwolves 102-88 victory the night before -- after he became angry and left, his girlfriend "locked the bedroom door behind him," the complaint says.

Vikings' Chris Cook found not guilty of strangling his girlfriend
Things allegedly became violent when he came back. The complaint says Cunningham "kicked in the bedroom door, grabbed Victim around the neck, and slammed her against the wall."
"Victim's eyes were watering and she felt like she was being strangled to death," the complaint says. "Defendant dropped Victim and then left the residence. Victim then called 911."
Officers were on the scene when Cunningham returned home and arrested him.
Cunningham's girlfriend told police he'd strangled her for 15 to 20 seconds. Officers observed redness and marks on her neck.
Here, via Pioneer Press Timberwolves reporter Andy Greder, is what President of Basketball Operations Flip Saunders had to say about the situation during an appearance on Dan Barreiro's KFAN radio show this afternoon:
#Twolves Flip Saunders tells @DanBarreiroKFAN they don't condone the behavior associated with Dante Cunningham. Said they have to wait.
-- Andy Greder (@twolvesnow) April 4, 2014
Cunningham has a court date scheduled for Monday. His bail has been set at $40,000. If convicted, he faces up to three years in prison.

Anyone remember the 800g?
about a year ago or so there was someone who posted pictures of a 800g sw reef tank. He had caverns caves and rows of rock everywhere. Anyone had a link to it or photos or remember it?
Not a clue. Was it in this catagory? if so then you can just look back on the date.
i've tried looking back, and it was in this catagory. it was a built in the wall tank that extended into his garage. He actually waded into his tank to clean it. had a video and pictures of it. :( might be gone forever....sigh
I don't recall. But this might lift your spirits....
David Saxby | January 2007 Tank of the Month | UltimateReef.Com
Wow, that's a Softy Heaven.
You could also see www.oregonreef.com perhaps that's it? Same concept.
is it sad that ive seen that link pasfur posted and the pictures posted already?
...i guess working nights gets boring sometimes :roll:
Kells- thats the one! Didn't know he upgraded the tank. I will have to spend more time on his site looking at it. :) I still remember when he was first building it. It was fun following him each day. Thanks for finding it!
Not a problem, He actually had a horrific thing happen to that tank and it no longer exists...
He cleaned the skimmer pump after 1 year. Normally he stays and checks everything, but he got called into work that day for 14hrs. Naturally, the skimmer went into overdrive and skimmed a lot of water out (200g) and his skimmer has a emptying mechanism that pours into a drain. It poured 200g out of the tank and when he got home, he decided that he needed to replenish the water lost quickly. So he didn't want to wait until the RO made 200g in over the next few days he quickly made water with the tap (the lfs was closed already) added declorinator, and put it into the tank.
Everything looked fine before he went to bed, but when he woke up the tank was white for the most part. Corals where bleaching, stuff was dying. He lost almost 90% of the whole tanks livestock. really sad. He said he was pulling acropora out of the tank that where a foot wide that he'd had for almost 8years(i think).
He lost the tank in Dec 2007 i believe and started a cold water system. If you go to the site, he has a link at the top that says "see steves coldwater system Here" to check it out. It's an amazing tank as well and he doesn't have that tank anymore either, but he does have plans on a tank that's around 2,000g and i am excited to see what he does with it... he wants the depth and feels he needs the tank to be deeper then 8feet...
Wow. that sucks to loose 90% of the livestock. I cant wait to see the new tank myself! That deep will be amazing. Wonder what hes going to do with it.

If you want to try a stronger pain medicine your OBGYN can give you a scrpt for pain meds that are safe during pregnancy and a lot strong then tylenol.
Taking advil is most dangerous during the first and third trimesters. If you are pregnant and don't know it, it can cause some serious heart defects.

Ted Simons: World renowned physicist Lawrence Krauss appears on "Arizona Horizon" each month to discuss science news and issues. This month our conversation centers on the physics of time. Thanks for joining us. Good to see you again.
Lawrence Krauss: It's always good to be back.
Ted Simons: This is something that I'm trying to wrap my mind around, the concept of time.
Lawrence Krauss: Time is an amazing -- I know you're fascinated by it, but it is a perplexing quantity. Because it seems so different. The future is different than the past, at least for most of us, we hope. And yet the problem is the time -- The question is, is time real? Is time any -- Have any object reality of course it does. It does, because we can't repeat the -- We can repeat the conversation we just had, but perhaps not exactly the same way. That's done. That's in the past. But what the first wrinkle, if you wish, and I want to be -- To make a fun for that book "a Wrinkle in Time," but the first wrinkle was Einstein, who showed that time clockers tick at -- Clocks tick at different rates for different observers, depending on their relative conditions. If I'm moving with respect to you, my clock is ticking more slowly than yours. And we test that every day in undergraduate laboratories. But the thing I wanted to point out, it's not so esoteric. We depend on it every day. I depended out twice today when I was using my GPS. Einstein showed not only if you're moving while your clocks get slower, but if I'm standing on top of the table and I'm a little higher than you, my clock is ticking a little bit slower. The effects are so small, you'd think they would be irrelevant. But GPS works. All these satellites up there, they're traveling about 12,000 miles up, maybe 10,000 miles an hour, and they -- And the way it works, two of them beam a signal down at you, or signal up from you and back again, and they measure the time And they triangulate. So the difference in time between those two round trips is how they can find out where are you. You got a better triangulation if you have three of them. But if we didn't take into account the fact they're moving, and high up, it turns out in order to have a accuracy of a meter, light travels sort of 60 centimeters every nanosecond, every billionth of a second, so I have to have accuracy of a few billionths of a second to have a meter accuracy, or maybe a few millionths of a second to get 10 meters. It turns out the clocks are ticking at different rates because they're at different heights and speeds, and if they didn't take that into effect, then within about a minute, all GPS would stop working. We have to take into account the fact that their clocks, their atomic clocks are ticking more slowly than ours, so it's not so esoteric. Every day we have to use the fact their clocks are more slowly than ours.
Ted Simons: That's us adjusting to what time is as far as how we experience it. What is time?
Lawrence Krauss: You know, in physics, that's a really good question. In physics it's a parameter that allows us to say when things happen. In that sense it's like space. But it just seems weirder. What is space? Space is -- Tells me where you are. You're at some point in space and I'm in a different point in space. And we can tell a lot about what's happening by where we are when we come together here in the studio when our points of space converge, we have an event. We have one of these little dialogues. And time has a way of labeling events. What Einstein told us is space and time are tied together in a four-dimensional universe in which each point is a point in space and a point in time. But it gets weirder. Because I can do a circle in space, right, I can walk around this table and come back. But if time and space are together as part of the universe, why can't I do a circle in time? Because we all know as far as we can see that we just move forward in time. Can I travel backward in time? And that's a fascinating question. In fact, I've written about it, and in fact when I wrote a book called "The Physics of Star Trek" it caused a stir because Stephen hawking wrote the forward and he previously said time forward is impossible, but in the forward he said it was possible, because I said it in the book and I was right. But he said time travel is impossible, because if it wasn't we'd already be inundated by tourists in the future. I said they all went back to the 1960s. But that paradox, you see, if you can do time travel, and all the most for many people their favorite science fiction episodes involve time travel. We have cause -- In our world, cause always precedes effects. We predict things, a cause, and then an effect. But if I had time travel, you could go back in time and kill your grandmother before your mother was born. And then your mother wouldn't be born, but then you wouldn't be born, and if you weren't born how did you go back in time and kill your grandmother? Many physicists like Hawking had said time travel must be impossible because all these paradoxes as a result. But we've learned the universe is the way it is whether we like it or not. We don't know, Einstein's theory, because it connects space and time, tells us in principle time travel is position, because you could create a geometry where you could do a circle in time. Of the thing that creates that geometry, space and time, their fabric is determined by energy and matter. So the left-hand side is space and time, the right side is energy and matter, and so if I can imagine a mathematical universe with time travel, on the right side all I have to do is come up with the right configurations of matter and energy to do that and I'm going to interrupt you one more time. That's the open question. We know that the geometries can exist but what we don't know, can you create the configurations of matter and energy that would produce time travel? That's an open question at the forefront of physics and that's one of the things I worry about.
Ted Simons: Is it safe to say that you can travel, we will be able at some point to travel back in time, but only back in time if we have a certain parameter or if something has -- In other words, no one from the future can come back now, but in the future we can come back to a previous future because we've laid the ground work --
Lawrence Krauss: No.
Ted Simons: You're saying no.
Lawrence Krauss: We don't know. We don't know if time travel is possible. The point sits possible in principle, because mathematics allows to you create a universe in which time travel is possible. Mathematically you could -- But this is physics. We don't know if there are principles of physics that determine the energy and matter configurations that are necessary to produce those. Clearly if we saw someone from the future would it anxious that question, for we could see particles that go back in time, but at this point none of that is around and because of all the paradoxes, many physicists think the laws of physics, the ultimate laws of physics would in fact preclude creating those conditions of energy and momentum and matter that would create time travel. So there's a big debate about whether it's possible. What we can say now is at least it isn't impossible. But let me -- One other thing. We may not be going where you want to go, but I want to dash one more of your hopes.
Ted Simons: Please.
Lawrence Krauss: If you went in a time machine this, is something I remember from H.D. wells, no one realizes that hey, it's time and space. So the earth, we feel like we're at rest, but the earth is going around the sun at 30 kilometers a second. OK? If you went back in your time machine a minute earlier, so you went back in time a minute, but stayed at the same point in space, the earth would have moved 1,800 kilometers away and you would be now the space without any air or anything else. So every time they talk about a time machine, I think of going back in time and popping out and discovering --
Ted Simons: Yes. You're not going to land in the same spot.
Lawrence Krauss: Because the earth is moving.
Ted Simons: Alright. At the speed of light, time pretty much stops.
Lawrence Krauss: Not just pretty much, it stops. That's one of the reasons why there are limits on how fast you can -- How close to the speed of light you can get.
Ted Simons: Let's say some future generations can hit the speed of light. Does that mean there's no past, there's no future? It's all now forever?
Lawrence Krauss: In fact there are particles that go the speed of light. They're called light. [laughter] And for them, if you really were sitting on a lights wave, the entire history of the universe would happen instantaneously.
Ted Simons: If anything happens instantaneously, what is time?
Lawrence Krauss: Well, for a light ray they there would be no time. But one of the things that's -- One of the Catch-22s of relativity is because we have mass, it takes an infinite amount of energy to get to the speed of light. So we'll be able -- In principle we can travel closer and closer to the speed of light and it is true, it's not science fiction, if you were going around in a spacecraft traveling at 99.99% the speed of light, could you go on a trip that would take two weeks, but you come back to earth and 50,000 years would elapse. We test that all the time. We have in fact one of the simplest tests of that is the amazing fact if you had a Geiger counter, it would be clicking. And one of the particles that would be clipping from are nuons. They're created when cosmic rays hit the upper atmosphere and they produce these particles. At rest it lives one millionth of a second. You could show even traveling at the speed it is, it wouldn't make it down to the earth. But the reason it makes it down to the earth is its clock is ticking slowly and it says oh, it's a millionth of a second, time for me to decay, but in our -- But it's much more than a millionth after second so it makes to it earth. So the very fact we can measure these cause and create particles on earth, is due to the fact their clocks are ticking slowly. It's not subjective. It's not as if we perceive time to be -- It really is. It really travels at different rates for different observers.
Ted Simons: If we -- If time is a glorified senses of measurement here, or how we purr Steve it -- Perceive it --
Lawrence Krauss: It's a way to label when it happens.
Ted Simons: If that's the case, is there such a thing as infinity, eternity?
Lawrence Krauss: I watch TV shows that certainly seems like there is. But we don't know. We don't know -- We know our universe had a beginning, a finite time ago. 13.8 billion years ago. We know that. But the future, we don't know. And it -- All the evidence is that our universe will expand forever and ever. And the future is indeed eternal.
Ted Simons: Back to your book, universe or nothing, you're saying there was -- I don't want to get too deeply into nothing, is there a beginning to time?
Lawrence Krauss: Everything that we know tells us yes. Namely because space and time are tied, at the very beginning it's equal zero when the entire universe, if you took the known laws of physics was in a single point. The laws of physics break down. And time itself may have arisen. So when people ask what happened before the big bang, we can give them the answer, that's not a good question. Because time itself may have begun in the big bang. Time may not have existed before the big bang. We don't know the answer because the laws of physics break down. When space and time become so small that the laws of quantum mechanics governing the space and time, all of our theories break down and our understanding of time and space go out the window. That's an open question. But it could shall the time began with the big bang. That this clicking this, classical clicking of a clock that we, use to delineate events and time just like with the ruler, we, delineate events in space. That all makes sense only after the big bang. Before the big bang, where quantum mechanics was governing the nature of space and time, rulers and clocks may have made no sense.
Ted Simons: If anyone were alive before then, they would be looking at us right now saying these people make no sense.
Lawrence Krauss: They may have been, but it's hard to imagine how you would be alive when all of the hundred billion galaxies in the universe were compressed in a region smaller than an atom. But you know what? At the limits of our knowledge, almost anything is possible.
Ted Simons: Last question -- Are there any breakthroughs on the horizon, anything that you think is coming up in terms of understanding time?
Lawrence Krauss: Well, I always tell you the same answer. If I knew what the next big breakthrough was I would be doing it. That's what's great about science. It's full of surprises. It could be that we learn that our universe isn't four dimensional. That there are more dimensions. That is a possibility. And that would change the whole nature of space time. And it might reveal new aspects of time. We don't know -- We may discover tomorrow that -- The only way we'll probably learn about the nature of time is to keep on looking for these weird and wonderful things. And if one of them is discovered I'll come back on the show and tell you. Or I'm come back in time --
Ted Simons: We'll make a spot for you. We're out of time. Good to have you.
Lawrence Krauss: Thanks.

Even after upgrade to 5.0.1 I'm still getting a phone lock up problem.
Black screen and pushing any buttons has no affect.
The only way to get it going again is to re-boot phone (power and home button for 10 sec)
When it re-starts, the Wi-Fi will not work, (greyed out saying "No Wi-Fi")
Then you have to reset network settings to get it to work.
I noticed today after 1st re-boot, if you re-boot again it will restart with Wi-Fi working again !
Saves the network setting resetting.
Any input on this would be apricieted.

Two sisters are suing a New Jersey cemetery for $25 million because their mother was buried in the wrong grave. Evelyn and Hortense Edwards were distressed to learn that their mother was not in grave 103, which they've visited for 20 years, and are seeking damages to ensure that the cemetery "would not be inclined to do that again."
Donald Trump downplayed evidence of his early support for the war in Iraq — an invasion he has insisted throughout his campaign that he opposed from the get-go — when confronted by Fox News' Bret Baier on Thursday evening.
After Trump mentioned his criticism of the war, Baier pointed out that during an interview with Howard Stern in 2002, Trump answered, "Yeah, I guess" when asked whether he backed the invasion. Trump's account to Baier was a little different: "I'm talking to Howard Stern, weeks before, the first time anybody had ever asked," he said, "and don't forget, I was a civilian. The first time anyone ever asked me about the war, about should we go in, because it was a question, are we going in? And I said very weakly, well, blah, blah, blah, yes, I guess."
Baier then recalled Trump's declaration of the war as "a tremendous success from a military standpoint" on its very first day. "What I said is it was a success, because they thought it was a success," Trump countered, before insisting again, contrary to the available reports, that he opposed the invasion before it happened.
But hey, if Trump doesn't want to dwell on his Iraq record, perhaps the real story here is that The Donald said he did something "weakly." Bonnie Kristian
If you're not watching the NHL's Stanley Cup playoffs, well, you should be. The powerhouse franchises of late have already been knocked out of the running, so the race for the Cup from here on out is between a bunch of scrappy teams who haven't touched it in a while. And if you're inexplicably unimpressed by incredible feats of dexterity and grace alone — while balancing on ice with knives strapped to your shoes, mind you — well, just check out the ecstasy in this photo of the Nashville Predators bench, after the team outlasted the San Jose Sharks in triple-overtime to even their second round series at two games apiece:

HBO CEO Richard Plepler is here with a balm for your weary soul: Jon Stewart might be back on TV before the election. Plepler said he is "hopeful" that the former Daily Show host, who signed a deal with HBO this past fall, would be installed in a new show within the next few months.
And when Stewart's new show does happen, Plepler added, the network will give him significant latitude to play with the format. "It is a perfect example of bringing a remarkable original voice into the house, giving a new opportunity of expression to that original voice and saying, 'We now have the flexibility to let you paint however you want to,'" he explained. "My hunch is it will evolve over time." Bonnie Kristian
Donald Trump's spokesperson Katrina Pierson thinks that if House Speaker Paul Ryan can't get behind Trump as the Republican Party's presumptive nominee, then he shouldn't be speaker at all. Even if Ryan doesn't like Trump, Pierson said, he should at least align his actions with all his calls to "bring unity."
Pierson's comments came during a Friday morning interview with CNN's John Berman, who asked her whether Ryan is "still fit to be speaker" if he doesn't jump on the Trump train. "No, because this is about the party," Pierson said. On Thursday, Ryan declined to endorse Trump, saying he was "just not ready to do that at this point."
"We were told to hold our noses and vote for the sake of the party," Pierson said. "These same people are now telling us that because their guy didn't want to win, they want to hurt the party. If you can't hold yourself to the standard that you're holding everyone else, the problem is with you."

Roughly half of Clinton, Trump supporters are only voting to keep opposing candidate out of office
Nearly half of likely Hillary Clinton voters say they are only supporting her to keep Donald Trump out of the White House — but before Trump backers start cackling, they ought to keep in mind that they're in the same boat. Nearly half of Trump supporters are only backing the Republican candidate in order to keep Clinton out of office.
The uninspiring situation was discovered in a new Reuters/Ipsos survey that claims many voters this election season are only going to the ballot boxes to keep the opposition out of the White House, rather than to get their candidate in. With Trump supporters, a whole 47 percent are voting just to keep Clinton out; by comparison, only 43 percent are voting for Trump because they like his political positions, and only 6 percent because they like Trump personally.
Among likely Clinton voters, 46 percent are voting for her just to keep Trump out of office, with 40 percent backing her because they like her politics and 11 percent because they like her personally.
The results come from likely voters who were interviewed online between April 29 and May 5, with the margin of error for Trump supporters being plus or minus 5.3 and for Clinton supporters, plus or minus 4.7. Jeva Lange
In an interview Friday with Fox & Friends, Donald Trump shut down Ben Carson's suggestion that he would consider a Democrat or an independent to join his presidential ticket. "I would rule him out. Or her out," the presumptive Republican nominee said, denying Carson's comment to The Wall Street Journal Thursday that they were considering people who "are Americans," rather than just Republicans.
"I want to have a great ticket," Trump said. "The Democrats have been in there a long time, the economy is terrible. The real unemployment rate is probably 20 percent. Jobs are leaving. Look at Carrier, look at so many companies. They're leaving."
Instead, Trump says, he is "going to pick a great Republican" to sail towards a "tremendous victory" with him. "We're going to win," he said.

U.S. employers added 160,000 jobs in April — fewer than expected — the Labor Department reported Friday. Economists had forecast a gain of 200,000 jobs. Analysts interpreted the number, the lowest in seven months, as an indication that slow first-quarter economic growth had sapped momentum from the nation's hiring binge. March's gains were revised down to 208,000 from 215,000 new non-farm jobs. The unemployment rate remained at 5 percent due to people dropping out of the labor force. Hourly wages rose by 0.3 percent, a bright spot in the report. Jeva Lange

We hear their stories day in and day out, hundreds of men and women, just back from the battlefield who are injured while fighting for our freedom. Gunnery Sergeant Cory Willis and Sergeant Chadd Jackson are two of these men, back at home but forever scarred with the pain of an injury. Willis has been dealing with a back and brain injury, and Jackson, has lost 90 percent of his feeling in his left arm, after it was embedded with shrapnel. Even though they are in pain each and everyday, these men are training for the "Hope for Warriors" run aboard Camp Lejeune next Saturday, putting their pain aside to help their fellow brothers in need, many of which are in worse condition. Both men are striving to raise $3,000 each. If you want to find out more about the race, or attend any of the day's events, even donate to a wounded warrior click on the link below:

Henri Matisse's "Blue Nude" series, paper cutouts on canvas created at the end of his long and prolific life, represented the culmination of his exploration of abstraction. Along with Pablo Picasso, Matisse (1869 – 1954) dominated 20th century art. Abandoning law studies to pursue art, Matisse was originally considered a Fauvist. His body of work encompassed vast styles, including primitive art, impressionism, sculpture and abstraction, and was distinguished by his visionary and expressive use of brilliant color and ornamentation. Unlike many artists, Matisse was internationally acclaimed during his lifetime, appreciated by collectors and critics, and influencing a younger generation of artists.

Henri Matisse (1869 – 1954), considered to be the 20th century's most important French painter, communicated joy with expressive colors, striking ornamentation and bold patterns. Matisse, whose mother gave him his first art supplies while he was recovering from an illness, described his discovery of art as "a kind of paradise." He was originally viewed as a Fauvist, and his early works were exceptionally mature. Influenced by Impressionism and Japanese art, Matisse made color a crucial element of his work, and also experimented with expressive abstraction. When he was nearly 80, Matisse volunteered to decorate the Dominican nuns' chapel at Vence, France. Suffering from anxiety, Matisse found serenity in painting.

Brandon Rios (R) lands a right on Mike Alvarado in the seventh round on Saturday. (Chris Farina/Top Rank)
Throughout the nearly 20 minutes they pummeled each other, the pace rarely slowed. They each delivered bone-crushing shots in a battle that ended dramatically with Rios swarming Alvarado on the ropes in the seventh round.
Referee Pat Russell jumped in to save Alvarado from further punishment as he went defenseless along the ropes. When the fight ended, many were saying it was the greatest bout of the 21st century.
Since the 21st century didn't begin until Jan. 1, 2001, I'll include the Year 2000 as I pick my Baker's dozen of the greatest matches of the 2000s.
13. Antonio Margarito TKO11 Miguel Cotto, July 26, 2008, Las Vegas: The match was billed as "The Battle," but it was more like a war. The welterweights went at each other in savage fashion from the opening bell. The bout later became infamous when Cotto began to believe that Margarito's hand wraps were loaded, but that has never been proven. It was, however, one of the most entertaining fights ever to watch.
11. Erik Morales W12 Manny Pacquiao, March 19, 2005, Las Vegas: This was probably the final fight of the prime Morales, but he reminded fans why he is one of the great fighters of his era. It was a high-paced, tense bout throughout, but it turned Morales' way when he cut Pacquiao in the fifth round.
10. Manny Pacquiao D Juan Manuel Marquez I, May 8, 2004, Las Vegas: Pacquiao knocked Marquez down three times in the first round with blisteringly fast hands and seemed about to win by early knockout. But Marquez got up and won most of the rest of the rounds. The bout, though, was a split draw, with one judge favoring Pacquiao, one favoring Marquez and the other scoring it even. However, judge Burt Clements called the first round 10-7 in favor of Pacquiao instead of 10-6, unaware, he admitted afterward, he could score a round 10-6. Had he done so, Pacquiao would have won a split decision.
9. Arturo Gatti W10 Micky Ward II, Nov. 23, 2002, Atlantic City, N.J.: Gatti and Ward fought three times, and the second was clearly lesser than the first and the third. But that only speaks to how great the first and the third bouts were, as the second fight between them was epic. There was great ebb and flow, but Gatti used surprisingly good boxing to hold off Ward and even the rivalry at a fight apiece.
8. Erik Morales W12 Marco Antonio Barrera I, Feb. 19, 2000, Las Vegas: Barrera and Morales hated each other and nearly came to blows several times on their press tour. The fight between them was fast-paced, intense and hotly disputed. Morales believed he won, as did many, but Morales eked out a split decision that set up their classic trilogy.
7. Arturo Gatti W10 Micky Ward III, June 7, 2003, Atlantic City, N.J.: Gatti broke a hand in the fourth round and got decked in the sixth, but in typical Gatti fashion, he came roaring back. They kept hitting each other with clean, hard shots to the head, but Gatti simply landed more, and more often to pull out the win.
6. Israel Vazquez TKO6 Rafael Marquez II, Aug. 4, 2007, Hidalgo, Texas: This was the rematch of an outstanding bout from earlier in the year in which Marquez won when Vazquez was injured and couldn't continue. The third round was insane with the ebb and flow, but Vazquez was hurting Marquez badly as the fight wore on. He was bleeding from both eyes, but managed to stop Marquez in the sixth in what would become the 2007 Yahoo! Sports Fight of the Year.
4. Micky Ward W10 Arturo Gatti I, May 18, 2002, Uncasville, Conn.: It was a violent spectacle as the men went at each other with a savagery rarely seen. The ebb and flow in the bout was remarkable as big punches would turn the tide first one way, then the other. The ninth round was so wild that HBO broadcaster Emanuel Steward exuberantly called it "The Round of the Century." Ward knocked Gatti down with a body shot and Gatti seemed out of it, wincing in pain. He got up and Ward poured it on. But suddenly, back came Gatti. It was the best round of the fight, but it was emblematic of how the entire match went. Ward pulled out a majority decision.

One or two policy changes not likely to solve school safety issue
THE conversation under way about keeping schools safe is critically important. No parent wants to worry about whether his or her child will come home at the end of the day. No teacher wants to fret about whether an unauthorized intruder might target his or her school.
But what shouldn't get lost in the conversation is that no one policy makes schools a collectively safe place for students, teachers and other staff. School safety in its broadest sense is reliant on a few big policies and a thousand small decisions that students, teachers, principals and parents make every day.
Measures to screen who is entering and leaving a school building make sense. After all, many businesses take the same measures on behalf of adults who are much more capable of defending themselves in a crisis than a classroom of terrified first-graders.
It's anyone's guess at this point whether gun-toting teachers becomes one of those overarching policies. Likewise, every publicized instance of bullying brings about a fresh look at state policies and regulations designed to protect vulnerable students. Every school and every district has its own set of challenges. That's as true on the school safety front as it is for academics.
While an intruder bent on harming students is a parent's worst nightmare, an everyday school environment where behavioral disruptions make teaching and learning a difficult if not impossible task is a nightmare, too.
We've heard Terri White, who oversees state government's mental health programs, talk about the need for more such services in schools. White's passionate plea shouldn't fall on deaf ears. Undiagnosed mental and behavioral health issues are traumatic for the afflicted students, their peers and their teachers. Schools and teachers don't have nearly enough support or training in this area. Such training could create safer and more learning-focused school and classroom environments.
The state shouldn't play the heavy when it comes to student discipline policies. That's a definite area for local schools and communities to navigate, but we'd also suggest they could do better. The research on effective discipline is evolving, particularly as it relates to out-of-school suspensions and expulsions.
Consider what a school superintendent recently told Education Week magazine: "Too many times, the solution is to remove the child from the (school) environment. That does not mean you've removed them from a learning environment. They're just, instead, learning what the streets have to teach them."
Finding the balance between preparing for the worst-case scenario and the everyday challenges in need of better solutions won't be easy. Issues of funding, staffing, training and priorities aren't easily re-solved.
Still, we urge policymakers at all levels not to let themselves buy into the idea that one or two major policy changes will produce a significant fix. The everyday culture of a school is important but relies on relationships, implementation of and adherence to effective discipline strategies and support for behavioral and mental health issues, among other things.
Keeping students safe from outside harm and helping them feel that school is a place where they feel safe and loved aren't necessarily the same thing. Both are important.

I'm a FTM and I've started thinking about and trying to figure out what dh and I will do with regard to childbirth classes. The hospital we chose is not closeby, and we don't want to go down there any more frequently than necessary. (My OB sees patients at various locations, one of which is two blocks from our house). We will probably go for the free things the hospital offers, the tour, the carseat installation, and maybe the VBAC class (though this is my first pregnancy, I had a fibroid removed by abdominal surgery three years ago, and I've been deemed the same risk as a VBAC patient for natural birth, which I really want.) My sister, who is on her fifth pregnancy, says the hospital childbirth class they took was a waste of time, and more about hospital procedures than helpful for preparing for childbirth.
Would it be enough to just read plenty and watch childbirth videos with dh? I wonder if it's more worthwhile just to spend our money hiring a doula... We have kind of a limited budget, and there's no possibility for insurance or whatever to pay for either one. I'd love to go to Bradley classes, but they are as far of a drive or farther than the hospital. What would be the most worth our time and money?

Vermonter helps Sandy victims pick up piecesBy Christian Avard
Staff Writer | November 13,2012BRATTLEBORO — Bonnie Dickey of Brattleboro is exhausted.
Two months ago she went to Baton Rouge, La., with the Vermont and New Hampshire Upper Valley Region Red Cross to assist Hurricane Issac victims. On Sunday, she returned home from New York, her second assignment, where she helped residents on Long Island recover from Hurricane Sandy.
The superstorm swept through the New Jersey, New York and Connecticut on Oct. 29, causing billions of dollars in damage across the northeast. Dickey was one of nine Vermont and New Hampshire volunteers to travel to the devastated area.
Dickey said Issac caused major flooding in the Mississippi Delta communities. But the devastation that Sandy left behind was much worse.
"The devastation was indescribable. New York residents want people to know that things haven't ended just because it's not on the evening news anymore. There's still people without power, and in some cases people are struggling to get food," she said.
In Louisiana, Dickey drove an emergency response vehicle and distributed food to American Red Cross shelters. This time, she
was in charge of registration at a disaster relief shelter.
Stationed in Levittown, N.Y., Dickey was responsible for documenting arrivals, obtaining information and keeping track of numbers.
The shelter operated for two weeks and served an average of a 130 people per day, according to Dickey. Many were local residents but others came from as far as Yonkers, N.Y. The shelter also assisted a group of tourists from Kansas who were displaced by the hurricane while visiting the state.
By Sunday, power was restored to several Long Island communities. The American Red Cross ceased shelter operations but many people were without a place to stay.
Some were transferred to other shelters or found family members to stay with. Others went home, even though they lacked power.
Dickey took great pride in her work on Long Island. She took great pride in reuniting a daughter with her father at the shelter after she had not heard from him in days.
Prior to leaving, Dickey went to Long Beach to get a first-hand look at the devastation. She said she saw piles of sand, tires and various debris as far as her eye could see.
At one home, Dickey saw front-end loaders removing 7 feet of sand from a basement. At other homes she saw piles of discarded furniture, insulation and mattresses in the streets.
"You don't get over it in a hurry. It was apocalyptic," Dickey said. "We worked 12 to 14 hour days. It was so unbelievable."

Very good
We had to change our date to the day before at very short notice and they were so helpful and managed to accommodate our request.
Our room was small but with everything we needed. Comfy bed, good shower, great coffee machine, clean towelling robes and slippers. Wonderful breakfast. Downside was that it was top floor with lots and lots of stairs, some quite steep.

WASHINGTON — The eighth-graders are coming! The eighth-graders are coming!
There is a distinct time of year here in the nation's capitol when it's not too cold and not too hot, when the azaleas compete with the dogwoods, when customarily rigid Congress chatter loosens to college basketball and talk of summer recess.
And when the city is completely overcome by groups of often poorly clad adolescents.
They walk in clumps, shuffling along with a few intrepid chaperones trying to keep their interest in the Franklin D. Roosevelt Memorial! The Arlington Cemetery! The Pentagon Memorial! The Air and Space Museum! All before lunch.
There are many obvious challenges for parents and teachers in this situation, but for the sake of conversation, let's start with clothing: How do adults get kids out of their short shorts, their sweat pants with words stretched across the backside, their low-slung tank tops and the bad T-shirts so they are presentable to members of Congress, White House staffers and the broader population?
The short answer: Some try, with limited success. And some haven't thought about it at all.
Aurora teacher Annie Lopez took a group of kids a couple years ago to Washington, and a boy wore saggy pants and a slightly off-color T-shirt throughout the trip. The kids toured the Pentagon, the Library of Congress and Mount Vernon, among other sites.
Lopez said she hadn't thought much about clothing amid the list of logistics to get crossed off before departure.
But, she said, "I noticed when we saw other groups, the other kids treated him differently. I told him to take a look around, I asked him if he noticed how people were dressed in D.C.? Do the professionals have T-shirts like that?"
"I talked to him about how he presented himself to the world," she said.
Next month, Lopez is taking another 17 students from Murphy Creek K-8 school in Aurora.
"I have decided we will have a stricter dress code this year," Lopez said. "If you can't wear it in a school, you can't wear it on the trip."
Dress codes exist
There are dress codes inside the White House and inside the Capitol, but they don't really apply to tourists — most visitors don't venture to the House or Senate floors.
House members themselves are not allowed to wear hats or overcoats, and both men and women are expected to wear suits. Sometimes Rep. Jared Polis, a Democrat from Boulder, goes tie-less to the floor. One Illinois member, in honor of Trayvon Martin, went to the floor in a hoodie a couple weeks ago and was admonished.
"School groups kind of wear whatever they want," said House press gallery spokeswoman Molly Cain.
At the White House, staffers are equally lax with visitors. Employees are expected to be in suits and ties and professional skirts and blouses. But no one really watches — or cares — what the kids or the families don while traipsing through the typical tour.
One woman last week had a black T-shirt with a picture of Snoopy ringing a bell that read "Let Freedom Ring!"
Lori Valdez, a parent in San Luis, a tiny town nestled in the San Luis Valley, will take a group of kids to Washington the first week of May. Because the school's kids are so poor, they have been fundraising for more than a year for the $20,000 it takes to send 10 kids on the trip.
"We're assuming we just wear comfortable stuff — I haven't thought much about it," Valdez said. "We can't pack much, either."
Showing respect
Dr. Jennifer Baumgartner is a D.C.-based clinical psychologist and wardrobe consultant who just released a book, "You Are What You Wear." She urged those on vacation anywhere, but especially in Washington, to not let comfortable melt into sloppy.
She said what tourists wear on vacation shows respect for the place they are visiting.
"It does not have to look like you don't care," she said.
Cindy Fiegenbaum, a librarian and teacher at Lasley Elementary in Jefferson County, agreed.
On a trip a few weeks ago with eight fifth- and sixth-graders, Fiegenbaum said she was appalled at the outfits students from other schools were wearing.
"You see kids wearing wild-colored hair, young ladies with extremely short shorts, ripped up jeans. ... I think if you lay expectations down right at the beginning, it is easier," she said. "But there is always going to be a student or two who pushes the limits."
