Coconut water is a clear liquid that is derived from the young, still-ripening nuts of Cocos nucifera, the coconut tree. Although this tree grows throughout all of the tropical areas of the world, this is the only accepted species of this type of palm. Coconut water is created in the interior of the coconut as it develops. Its purpose is to cushion and protect the endosperm – the very central part of the coconut – as the nut ripens, much as an egg white protects the yolk. As the coconut develops, the water begins to be absorbed into the fibers as the white coconut flesh or meat is created on the inner side of the shell. While still young and green, however, the coconut can contain between 300 and 1,000 millimeters (approximately 1¼ cups to 1 quart, in English measurement), depending upon the size of the coconut. Coconut water should not be confused with "coconut milk," which is made from ripened coconuts and has a white color; this is a combination of liquid and fibers of the coconut "meat."
The constituents of coconut milk are, in addition to water, primarily a range of electrolytes – specifically, potassium, sodium, magnesium, calcium and phosphorus – but also traces of iron and copper. Because coconut water comes from the coconut before it is fully ripened, it has very low levels of fat and protein. Throughout the world, particularly in tropical countries, coconut water is prized as a beverage. It is often served directly from a freshly opened green coconut, but packaged brands of coconut water are also available. The taste is very mildly salty and refreshing. One of the remarkable features of coconut water is that it is completely sterile as it comes out of the coconut and has a very similar pH range and electrolyte levels as human blood. As such, it does not harm blood cells. Therefore, coconut water has actually been used many times as an emergency source for blood transfusions to maintain blood volume until an injured person can be given human plasma. Coconut water has also been found to be very beneficial as a drink to help rehydrate patients suffering from cholera or other debilitating diseases.
Aside from these uses, coconut water has also been found to have some important benefits for skin care. The most obvious reason for using coconut water from Cocos nucifera is its absolute purity and sterility; coconut water is filtered by the roots, trunks and developing fruit of the tree, after all. As an ingredient in skin care products, coconut water can provide much-needed moisture to thirsty skin. In addition, the electrolytes and other trace minerals will help contribute important minerals for the continued health of the skin cells and underlying tissue layers. Although coconut water is extracted from young coconuts, while they are still green and have not yet developed the rich while layer, there still are some traces of important amino acids in this ingredient. Of particular importance are lysine and proline, amino acids included in coconut water which help to strengthen the important collagen layer of the skin.
As a gentle, healing ingredient in skin care products, coconut water helps to provide pure moisture, add necessary electrolytes and other trace metals and add important amino acids to help develop and strengthen the collagen layer of the skin. The results are a soothing reaction for red, inflamed and dehydrated skin caused by over-exposure to the sun, topical reaction to environmental pollutants and even just wind and cold. By helping to strengthen the collagen cells, long-term skin strength and smoothness can help to minimize the development of fine lines and wrinkles.
Since coconut is certainly a tree nut, anyone with a tree nut allergy may have a reaction to coconut products. Although coconut water has such low level of coconut proteins – which are usually the source of an allergic reaction – it is unlikely that use of a skin care product containing coconut water will cause any problems. Still, anyone with a history of tree nut allergies should contact their physician before using a skin care product containing coconut water. If any rashes, reddening, inflammation or other skin reactions occur during the use of such a skin care product, immediately case use and contact a physician.

Fargo, ND (Sports Network) - Mike Felt scored a game-high 14 points off the
bench as the North Dakota State Bison crushed the Kangaroos of UMKC, 71-34,
in Summit League action at Bison Sports Arena.
Also scoring in double figures for the Bison (17-5, 8-2 Summit) were Marshall
Bjorklund and Kory Brown with 12 points apiece as the team snapped a two-game
The Kangaroos (6-17, 3-7), held to their fewest points ever in a Summit League
bout, failed to have a single player score in double figures as they bowed for
the third time in as many games. Trinity Hall accounted for nine points in 23
minutes of action.
UMKC actually led by three points early on in the meeting, but the squad ended
up converting just 5-of-21 (.238) from the floor in the first half, en route
to a 28-12 halftime deficit. The margin could have easily been greater if not
for the fact that the Bison shot just 1-of-10 behind the 3-point line through
the first 20 minutes of play.
In the second half NDSU continued to pile on with 50.0 percent accuracy from
the field and an improved 5-of-11 effort out on the perimeter.
The Kangaroos were charged with 18 turnovers, against just four assists, and
were dominated on the glass by a massive 43-24 margin.
The defensive effort by NDSU matched the modern era record (since 1950) for
points allowed to a four-year school, the team having given up just 34 points
to Jamestown College during the 2005-06 campaign.

Tuesday Afternoon News, September 18
Update On the Hinton Car-Train Accident
(Hinton) -- Another car and train collision occurred last evening. This time it was at County Road C-60 and Highway 75 at the intersection in the middle of Hinton. Hinton Police Chief Chris Conlon says that 23 year old Nathan Plendl of Kingsley was driving a pick up truck and went around the railroad crossing gates when the collision occurred.
Listen to
Three people were inside the Plendl vehicle with two seriously injured including Plendl. Conlon did not have the name of the second victim, but said both parties were transported to Mercy Medical Center in Sioux City. The third victim was injured but was not transported to a hospital. The third victim indicated he would seek medical attention on his own. Conlon says another vehicle driven by 71 year old Charles Beck sustained damage. Beck's vehicle had stopped legally at the train crossing when the Plendl vehicle passed him and after being hit by the train spun around and struck the Beck vehicle. Beck was not injured. The train involved in the collision was a southbound Union Pacific train. Conlon says the cross arm standard was damaged as a result of the collision and Union Pacific officials are at the scene today making the necessary repairs.
Travelers Using Highway 3 Must Detour...Again
(Le Mars) -- Motorists that use Highway 3 west are once again being inconvenienced with another traffic detour. This time it involves the railroad crossing at West Le Mars. Iowa Department of Transportation District Engineer Tony Lazarowicz says the detour is considered a short-time detour.
Listen to
Lazarowicz isn't sure as to what improvements the railroad is doing at that crossing.
Law Enforcement Agencies Aware of Suspicious Vehicles Around Children
(Le Mars) -- There have been numerous reports within northwest Iowa of a suspicious vehicle or vehicles that have been seen at various locations near school children. Although no abductions have taken place, parents, teachers, and local law enforcement agenies are on the alert. Plymouth County Sheriff Mike Van Otterloo says local community residents have been watching for suspicious activity.
Listen to
Reports of suspicious vehicles and suspicious activities have been reported in Sioux City, Clay County, Dickinson County, Lyon County, and the most recent occurance this past Saturday near Rock Valley in Sioux County. Van Otterloo doesn't believe the incidents are connected, but he reminds parents to communicate with their children.
Listen to
Van Otterloo says the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children offers many tips for youngsters to know what to do for going to and from school. He says some simple tips is to check first with their parents, walk with other friends, and yell out "No"! if someone tries to touch them.
Many people wonder why amber alerts are not always issued when such incidents happen. The missing cousins from near Waterloo did not have an amber alert. Le Mars Police Chief Stewart Dekkenga says there has to be certain criteria met before an amber alert is issued.
Listen to
Dekkenga reminds parents to talk to their children about how to act when strangers approach them. He also asks parents to contact the local law enforcement agencies immediately upon any suspicious activity, and not to wait.

Sioux City Council Approves First Reading Forbidding People to Feed Wildlife
SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) - Council members in Sioux City have taken their first step toward barring people from feeding deer and wild turkeys inside the city.
The City Council voted 5-0 for the proposed ordinance on Monday. Two more readings and council votes are required before it becomes law.
Assistant City Attorney Connie Anstey says the measure is meant to reduce traffic accidents and damage to plants caused by the wild animals.
People who feed turkey and deer would be subject to a municipal infraction with a fine of at least $65 or be charged with a simple misdemeanor with a fine up to $100.
The ordinance would not penalize people who have gardens or trees that produce fruits, nuts or vegetables such as apples, carrots and acorns.
Audit Shows Missing Funds From Blencoe's City Account
BLENCOE, Iowa (AP) - A state audit shows poor record-keeping at the western Iowa city of Blencoe has led to a loss of more than $71,000 in property taxes and unsupported spending of city money.
Former city clerk Kym Harris served from January 2008 until she resigned last September after the city discovered financial reports hadn't been filed. The city couldn't collect property taxes for the
fiscal year that ended in June.
Harris told the Omaha World Herald in January she was going through cancer treatments and things were in turmoil.
She did not immediately return a call.
The audit, released Tuesday by State Auditor David Vaudt, found just over $2,400 of unsupported expenditures and more than $300 of improper reimbursements to Harris.
Blencoe, population 225, is 45 miles south of Sioux City.
Siemens Lays Off 600+ Employees
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - A wind energy equipment manufacturer says it will lay off 615 workers in Iowa, Kansas and Florida in part because Congress has not renewed a tax credit for wind energy.
Siemens Energy Inc. says it told workers the news Tuesday at plants in Fort Madison, Iowa; Hutchinson, Kan., and Orlando, Fla.
The biggest cuts will come in Fort Madison, where 407 workers at a wind turbine blade factory will be out of work. About 220 workers there will be retained.
The company blamed difficult market conditions due to lack of congressional action on a wind energy tax credit as well as increased use of natural gas-fired power plants and an overall
sluggish economy.
In a statement, Siemens says the industry is seeing a significant drop in new wind turbine orders.

I often wondered over the past three or four years if I would ever be able to enjoy a nice basic Port wine. I've tried them occasionally over time, but always found them too sweet for my palate. As late as three years ago, I was sent a sample of Graham's Six Grapes Reserve Port($20) and after opening and taking one taste, I handed the bottle over to Shirley to use in her recipes that called for Port or Sherry. This was also a time when any sweet wine, including white wines, were not to my liking. Of course, over time, that has changed, so after receiving another sample of the same wine, I held on to it for a few weeks, waiting for the right time to desire something sweet, yet something red. That moment finally came last Tuesday, as I sat down to watch the 2012 Presidential election coverage.
First glass was going to be more like a test to see if I would be wanting to pour a second glass or just place the bottle in with Shirley's cooking supplies. Surprisingly that test ended after the first sip. I am keeping this bottle.
The color was a very dark purple. Aromas were like dark chocolate covered cherries with plum and bramble berry. In the mouth, flavors were much the same with some toast and spice and very smooth. The finish was short to medium with flavors of plum and blackberry. After one glass, I diced up some extra sharp cheddar cheese to have with a second glass. Pairing was superb. I'm not allowed to eat many desserts now, but I think I may sneak in a slice of rich deep chocolate cake with my next glass.
Watch for some future reviews of Port wines on this blog. I will need a few more tastings before I can say I am a fan, but the Graham's Six Grapes Reserve has me wanting more.
Grahams Six Grapes is made from six Port-grape varieties, hence the name: Touriga Nacional, Touriga Francesa, Tinta Roriz, Tinta Barroca, Tinta Amarela and Tintao Cão.
Six Grapes is bottled ready to drink after about five years of cask aging. It has a t-cap closure, which means that you don't need a corkscrew to open it and that it should stay fresh for up to two months if stored in a cool, dark place or the refrigerator. Serve it in a glass with at least a six ounce capacity so that you may appreciate the wine's aromas. Six Grapes pairs particularly well with dark chocolate, or as I found, sharp hard cheese, but is also fantastic on its own as a luscious dessert in a glass.
The Seeker Wines is a new line of carefully curated wines created for those who love to seek adventure. The wines are sourced from iconic regions around the globe, and crafted to be authentic, easy-drinking and affordable.
The Seeker line was created by a family company that called on its 65 years of experience to source from the best family owned wineries in the world at an affordable price.
A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity, along with 23 other wine bloggers and writers and a panel of eight winemakers to attend a virtual tasting celebrating the release of the 2011 Finger Lakes Rieslings. This was the second year I was given this opportunity, so I thought this would be a great time to compare the 2011 vintage against an extraordinary 2010. What I did learn is that, at least for me, without tasting both vintages together it is almost impossible to make a comparison based on notes or reviews from last year. So, I'll put it bluntly, the 2011 vintage is as good as the 2010. Why?? Because I liked them both, period.
Starting to find a spot on my most liked wine list for Cabernet blends. I recently reviewed a Cabernet Sauvignon/Sangiovese from Italy that was very enjoyable and now found a very tasty Shiraz/Cabernet blend from the Central Ranges of Australia, an Inkberry Mountain Estate 2010($13). A blend of 60% Shiraz and 40% Cabernet Sauvignon.
Parmigiano-Reggiano and a side salad. The wine: Dinastia Vivanco Crianza 2008($18) made for 100% Tempranillo grapes that is aged for 16 months in French and American oak.
Vinomania. I wasn't planning on walking out with any wines, just stopped in to say hi to shop owner, Gary Decker. But, after taking a small walk around the shop while Gary was busy, I found a few wines that I just had to buy. One was a Cabernet Sauvignon from Castello Banfi, a 2006 Tavernelle ($40). This wine is from Banfi's Estate vineyards near the hamlet of Tavernelle, in the southern hills of Montalcino. A bit above my normal price range, but some of my best Cabernet Sauvignon's are from Italy and Castello Banfi has always been among my favorite Italian producers. I would usually save a wine like this for some thick grilled burgers or a grilled steak, but later that evening with a left over pizza slice and some extra sharp cheddar bites, I opened the Banfi Cab/Sauv. and settled in for some Thursday night NFL.
Tuesday afternoon I had to take a wine run to one of our local Wine & Spirits shops to pick up a white wine to serve with broiled salmon and snow crab. My first thoughts were of a dry or semi-dry Finger Lakes Riesling, but while there I decided on a California Sauvignon Blanc and found one that looked very interesting, a Frog's Leap Rutherford Napa Valley 2010.($22). Interesting because of the connection of Frog's Leap and the New York Finger Lakes.
Frog's Leap was founded by the Williams family, on a spot along Mill Creek known as the Frog Farm. At the helm of Frog's Leap is John Williams, winemaker and former dairy farmer from upstate New York.
John Williams grew up in Western New York and originally attended Cornell University to extend his studies as a dairyman. A fortuitous work-study program at Taylor Wine Company and a few bottles of wine later, John entered the Enology and Viticulture Masters Program at UC Davis. Following Davis, he returned to the Finger Lakes as the start-up winemaker at Glenora Wine Cellars. Taking inspiration from his first Napa Valley winemaking post in the cellars of Stag's Leap, John began making wine commercially in 1981 and named the new operation "Frog's Leap."
Winemakers John Williams and Paula Moschetti hand-craft an annual production of almost 60,000 cases composed of Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc and Zinfandel.
Frog's Leap produces some of Napa Valley's finest wines and, undoubtedly, has one of the wine world's best mottos: "Time's Fun When You're Having Flies."
Before I forget, Frog's Leap grapes are organically grown. See here...
The wines color was typical Sauvignon Blanc, bright, pale with a greenish hue. Nice aromas of green apple, grapefruit, lemon peel and melon with some honeysuckle filled the glass. In the mouth the wine was nicely balanced with grapefruit, lemon, some green apple and a little slate like minerality. The finish was lengthy with lots of grapefruit, some lemon zest and hints of peach. Very much reminded me of some French Sauvignon Blancs. Only drawback is the price. I found many very nice Sauvignon Blancs under $15 over the past few years and I paid $22 locally for the Frog's Leap. You can find this wine on-line for as low as $17 and I may even be able to find a much lower price by shopping around. Then again, this was a delicious and refreshing wine that I just may buy again. Highly Recommended
38% Zinfandel, 34% Merlot, 21% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Syrah, 2% mixed red varietals. 100% California grapes with 42% from the Lodi appellation. That is the blend in what I found to be a very delightful party wine, Middle Sister Rebel Red Non Vintage.($12)
I opened the wine while munching on some spicy chicken burritos layered with a mix of three cheeses, tomatoes, lettuce, some medium hot peppers and medium hot salsa and I was looking for a nice red table wine for pairing.
Color was a very bright ruby red, which looked awesome on a very sunny early evening on the patio. Lots of berry aromas right out of the bottle. Aromas were filled with blueberry, blackberry, elderberry, raspberry and a very subtle hint of smoke. In the mouth the Rebel Red was loaded with black and red fruits and some nice black pepper. The medium finish was smooth with blackberry and a little earthiness. There was also a very tiny suggestion of sweetness which made the wine a very nice pairing with the burritos. A very nice versatile wine that will pair well with many dishes. Highly Recommended

I knew when I started this blog in 2008, or was at least hoping, that my very narrow wine palate was going to expand immensely and that I would or should begin to appreciate many of the wines produced in today's world. I am happy to say that is exactly what has occurred. The biggest surprise to me is with white wines, but I also realize that I found a new appreciation for many of the fantastic red wines and blends I would have never tried if not for this blog, especially those from California. One of my favorite wineries from California is Bogle Vineyards in Clarksburg.
Clarksburg is located in the Sacramento river delta region, east of San Francisco, and south of Napa. In general, the Sacramento River Delta region is best known for it's zinfandels, and a number of Italian varietals.
I have reviewed the Bogle Peite Sirah and the Bogle Old Vine Zinfandel and recently found a Bogle wine I have not seen on local shelves before. The Bogle Vineyards Essential Red 2009($10) is a blend of Old Vines Zinfandel, Petite Sirah, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon. Sounds like a very complex blend and the aromas and taste are just that.
When I think of what a red wine should look like (generically) this is it, a nice bright deep garnet red. Aromas were at first more vanilla, tobacco, cigar box like, but after a short time I started getting lots of fruit, like plum, currant and black cherry. This is one of those wines that just explodes in the mouth with lots of dark fruit, licorice, some boysenberry and vanilla and finished very long.
I served this wine with chicken quesadillas and later with some sharp cheddar which paired very nicely with both. A steal at $10, this wine is very Highly Recommended.

One of the ranches I hunt and an adjoining ranch have 3 school (state) sections totally surrounded and locked up. Each one is 640 acres (1 sq mile)and the one I don't hunt has an outfitter and yep....its their private playground! Its kinda funny because I have hunted the adjoining ranch for years and because one side of 1 of the state parcel borders the ranch. The other ranch has it fenced and posted. I just climb the fence and go hunting. The outfitter stopped me one year and was really ticked off because I had killed a really nice buck deer that he wanted for a client. When he saw that the adjoining ranch owner had signed my license and I told him it was state land that I had legal access to, he stomped off swearing ti himself.
Moral of the story is you have to know what you can & can't do.

Welcome to the west.....hundred of thousands of acres of public land surrounded by private property and there is no way to access it unless you fork over the big bucks to the ranchers or outfitters. As long as these hoodlums are as powerful as they are in the legislature in their states, it will never change.
The GPS's with the chips are a step in the right direction. However, I have been involved in one case where the GPS was flat wrong and the ranch manager was right. It just depends on what map the chip-maker looks at I guess . . . If we are going to pay that kind of money for a gps and chip, you would think we'd have accuracy on our side . . .
The chopper and plane idea put a new spin on "gas money"!
I was on a public road that went thru private property looking for access to a section of state land and found the road just went by the corner of this piece of land. I had my truck parked on the road and was standing in the ditch ( 10' from my truck ) leaning on the corner post, which was posted state land. The wire gate at the corner was permanently wired shut and had a length of chain and a lock on it. As I was scratching my head trying to figure out the lay of the land, the land owner told me I was on private property and I said how is that so. He said the fence was his and the ditch was his and the only public land was the gravel road and the state land. I could have tuned my truck perpendicular to the road and backed up to the edge of the road, droped my tailgate and jumped onto the state land over the fence. I don't know how I could have gotten out of there or what I would have done with my truck but It wasn't worth it for 1 section. Now if it would have freed up a ton of land, I would have figured something out. This is a classic example of how public land is tied up, basically our tax dollars NOT at work.

I originally planned to showcase this model artwork to explain the over all details involved with the use of Poser a 3D program that can make your imaginations go wild, and etc… combining mix media use to create and design posters for magazines and other means.
I work for publishers so anyway in regards to this character originally she was meant to be a Romulan space pirate and this was the scene I created also using Bryce 5.5 at the time then 6 later on to design outer space scenes.
This one was one of my personal best to see it on tv was pretty cool too along with my other artworks back in 2008.
Poser 7, Bryce 5.5, Photoshop CS3,
It took five weeks to paint this Adobe Illustrator vector painting and a lot of love and care* I used a lot of complexed mesh's to create that realistical looking flesh tone variations that you see here.

A Christmas Carol in Cherokee this Weekend
(CHEROKEE) -- With a cast of 63 actors and actresses playing over 100 roles and 120
different costumes, Cherokee Community Theater, in Collaboration with Cherokee Community
Schools, isn't messing around with their presentation of "A Christmas Carol" this weekend.
Director Andrew Linn says the show is the musical version, with songs written by Alan

"A Christmas Carol: The Musical" opened last Friday and continues this Thursday through

back stage crew and a group has been hired out of Las Vegas to make sure the ghosts are so
authentic, they fly!

The cast has been rehearsing since early September, and Linn says the fact that they're all
so good made this show easier to tackle than it would have been otherwise.

Freed Shalit
and more news briefs
Hamas militants released Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit Oct. 18 after more than five years in captivity in exchange for 1,000 Palestinian prisoners. Israeli officials said Shalit showed signs of malnutrition and his father said he needed time to recover from psychological and physical wounds. Israel transferred more than 450 Palestinians from Israeli prisons to the West Bank and Gaza, where tens of thousands gathered to celebrate, calling for militants to seize more Israeli soldiers for future swaps. The rest of the Palestinian prisoners will be released in a second phase in two months.
Shalit was abducted in June 2006 when Palestinian militants ambushed an Israeli army post. He reportedly suffered shrapnel wounds and-before his release-had not been seen publicly since the attack. He is the first Israeli soldier to return home alive in 26 years. Israeli and Hamas officials said the recent Egyptian revolution helped drive them to an agreement in an effort by both sides to forge good relations with the new Egyptian leadership.
Quiet assault
Congress blocked President Obama's jobs bill, but he sent it to the Hill again in mid-October in what he called "bite-size" pieces, saying: "Maybe they just didn't understand the whole thing." Obama's bus tour promoting the job initiatives stopped in critical reelection states North Carolina and Virginia-where he has lost support since the states went for him in 2008-before moving to California, Nevada, and Colorado.
One piece of the president's jobs bill drew heat, a cap on charitable tax deductions, so that individuals making more than $200,000 a year must cap itemized deductions at 28 percent rather than the current 35 percent. After an outcry from the nonprofit community, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid stripped that provision from the jobs bill, but the cap remains a revenue-generating proposal Obama submitted to the congressional "supercommittee" on the national debt. Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, at an Oct. 18 hearing, said the current charitable deduction is under "quiet assault."
Destined for failure
Republicans have pushed for the repeal of Obamacare, but the first real cut in the healthcare law came from a Democrat. The Department of Health and Human Services announced Oct. 14 that it would not implement a long-term care insurance plan created under the 2010 law, and the Community Living Assistance Services and Supports (CLASS) office will close. "Despite our best analytical efforts, I do not see a viable path forward for CLASS implementation," HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said in a letter to congressional leaders. Lawmakers and a top Medicare official had warned that the program, to begin in 2012, would not remain financially solvent, but Obama administration officials included it in the final bill, claiming it would reduce the federal deficit by $80 billion over the next decade. "The CLASS Act was a budget gimmick that might enhance the numbers on a Washington bureaucrat's spreadsheet but was destined to fail in the real world," said Sen. John Thune, R-S.D.
A three-member state ethics panel recommended that former Kansas attorney general Phill Kline's law license be suspended indefinitely. Kline spent six years investigating Planned Parenthood and late-term abortionist George Tiller, and has been cleared in previous ethics investigations. The decision of the Board of Discipline of Attorneys came as a Johnson County trial involving Planned Parenthood-and charges that it manufactured client records and broke other abortion laws-was set to begin Oct. 24. "It's all a diversion," Kline told WORLD. "It's to promote the story line in Kansas that the clinics did nothing illegal." The Kansas Supreme Court must now decide whether to suspend the law license of Kline, currently a visiting professor at Liberty University.
Bishop charged
For the first time since the Roman Catholic sex abuse scandal gained headlines nearly a decade ago, a Catholic bishop in the United States is facing prosecution for allegedly covering up criminal activity.
Jackson County (Mo.) prosecutors say Bishop Robert Finn of the Diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph broke Missouri law when for five months he failed to report to authorities that a technician had found hundreds of images of child pornography on the computer of a priest in the diocese.
The case involves priest Shawn Ratigan. In May 2010, a principal of a Catholic school had alerted the diocese that she was uncomfortable with Ratigan's behavior around children, prompting a meeting between a diocese official and Ratigan. When the technician found the pornographic images on Dec. 16, 2010, Finn responded by assigning Ratigan to a mission house in Independence, Mo., with instructions to avoid contact with children. Ratigan disobeyed those instructions and, at an April 24 Easter party that he hosted, he allegedly attempted to take lewd pictures of a young girl.
Ratigan faces charges of possessing child pornography and federal charges of producing child pornography. But prosecutors say Bishop Finn also warrants charges for violating a state law that requires clergy and others who work with children to report suspicions of child abuse to authorities. They say Finn should have alerted police about the images on Ratigan's computer upon their discovery.
The misdemeanor charge against Finn carries a potential $1,000 fine and a year in jail. Finn has apologized for poor administrative judgment but pleaded not guilty to the charge.
Prosecutors denied suggestions by some in the diocese that Finn is a target because of his traditionalist views. "This has nothing-nothing-to do with the Catholic faith," said Jackson County prosecutor Jean Peters Baker. "This is about the facts of the case, nothing more. This is about protecting children."
Abortion funding debated
The U.S. House on Oct. 13 passed legislation to ensure that taxpayer dollars won't be used to pay for abortions under Obamacare. But the Democratic-led U.S. Senate will not take up the bill, and White House officials have threatened a veto.
The Protect Life Act prevents insurance plans from covering abortions if any customer receives federal premium subsidies. The bill, which passed 251-172 with the support of 15 Democrats, also strengthens conscience provisions protecting medical professionals who decline to perform abortions for moral reasons.
The law attempts to codify President Obama's 2010 Executive Order, signed in the heat of the healthcare debate, stating that taxpayer funds cannot be used for abortions-an order that could be revoked at any time or ignored. The House bill also tackles accounting gimmicks in Obamacare: Currently healthcare plans can offer abortion coverage as long as they set up separate accounts to keep federal dollars segregated from abortion funds.
"Within the President's healthcare law are loopholes inconsistent with the will of the American people that will allow for taxpayer funding of abortion services," said Rep. Tom Price, R-Ga. But House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, in debate leading up to the vote, dialed up the rhetoric: "When the Republicans vote for this bill today they will be voting to say women can die on the floor and healthcare providers don't have to intervene."
Election spending
Gov. Rick Perry's poll numbers may be lousy, but he came in first place among GOP presidential contenders in fundraising in the last quarter, raking in $17.2 million from July to September. Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney followed, raising $14.2 million over that period. The candidate at the top of polls recently, businessman Herman Cain, raised a mere $2.8 million. Meanwhile President Obama, who doesn't have to spend money on a primary fight, outdid all of the GOP contenders, raising $70 million in the quarter. Obama will need to raise about $120 million in each of the next five quarters if he is going to hit his goal of $750 million, the amount he raised in the 2008 election. Outside groups are also raising money and will likely play a role in the campaign: the conservative American Crossroads and its affiliate, Crossroads GPS, have pledged to spend $240 million on the 2012 election.
Border security
A foiled Iranian plot to assassinate the Saudi ambassador to the United States in a crowded Washington restaurant carried a disturbing twist: The suspect tried to hire a Mexican cartel based in Houston to execute the bomb attack. Federal authorities caught Mansour Arbabsiar-a naturalized U.S. citizen who holds an Iranian passport-after the suspect's cartel contact turned out to be a paid informant for the federal government. The thwarted conspiracy underscored the reality that Mexican cartels are well-organized on both sides of the border, and that border security involves more than stopping illegal migrants. Indeed, the Texas Department of Public Safety reports that over the last 18 months, at least six Mexican cartels have established command and control operations in Texas, and that Texas prison gangs feed cartel activity.
At a New York news conference, federal officials said they arrested Arbabsiar in September. A second charged suspect, Gholam Shakuri, who is a member of Iran's notorious Quds Force, remains at large in Iran. U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder declined to say whether top Iranian leaders ordained the plot, but noted that the Quds Force is Iran's primary apparatus for supporting terrorism around the world.
Another war
President Barack Obama announced the deployment of 100 U.S. military personnel to assist Ugandan forces battling the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA), a guerrilla group with a 25-year history of atrocities that have resulted in the displacement of 2 million people in northern Uganda, South Sudan, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. In an Oct. 24 letter to House Speaker John Boehner, Obama said the "combat equipped U.S. forces" he is deploying to the region "will act as advisors to partner forces." He cited a law passed in 2010 to increase "comprehensive U.S. efforts" to eliminate the threat posed by the LRA as justification. Human-rights groups applauded his action but others criticized military intervention in what has been a regional conflict. With Human Rights Watch advocating for this and U.S. action in Libya, said Andrew Exum, senior fellow at the Center for a New American Security, "U.S. military officers wanting to know where they will next go to war should probably just read [Human Rights Watch] policy papers at this point."
Freedom on hold
The U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom, in danger of shutting down Sept. 30, was saved at the last minute in the continuing resolution Congress passed to fund government services until Nov. 18. But the commission is still in danger of shutting down after Nov. 18 because of a holdup in the Senate. In September the House overwhelmingly passed stand-alone legislation reauthorizing the commission, but a Democrat in the Senate placed a secret hold on that legislation, effectively killing the commission. Now, thanks to the addendum to the continuing resolution, the Senate has a few more weeks to reauthorize the body, a watchdog that reports to the State Department. A single senator can place an anonymous hold to prevent legislation from coming to the floor for a vote, a block that the Senate majority leader can heed at his discretion.
Finding Chen Guangcheng
More than a year after Chinese officials released prominent human-rights activist Chen Guangcheng from prison, the blind attorney's supporters are worried about his whereabouts. During a one-week period in October, Chinese authorities aggressively blocked two dozen outsiders from visiting Chen, and Voice of America (VOA) reported that villagers said the activist was dead.
Chen served four years in prison after exposing forced abortions and sterilizations in his province. Authorities confined the activist to house arrest after his release in September 2010, along with his wife and 6-year-old daughter. Officers have reportedly beaten the attorney, who already suffers from frail health. Chinese newspaper reporter Shi Yu said that officers beat, robbed, and detained him after he tried to visit Chen's village in October. Hu Jia-another activist who spent four years in prison-said authorities told him they would arrest him if he tried to visit Chen. His response: Hu posted a photo of himself on Twitter wearing black sunglasses like the blind attorney, and wrote a message: "Free Chen Guangcheng."
One red cent
The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) announced that the price of first-class postage-the 44-cent Forever Stamp-will increase by one cent to 45 cents on Jan. 22, 2012. USPS also has proposed 2 percent rate increases for periodical and package delivery to deal with what Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe calls the service's "current financial crisis." USPS contends it overpaid some $75 billion in retirement prepayments since becoming semi-independent of the federal government in 1970. But a recent Government Accountability Office report found no errors in the arrangement, and pointed out that Congress had no control over postal pay raises, which contributed to pension liability.

With no dominant lady baller in sight, the draw at Wimbledon, like the Aussie and French Opens this year, remains a free-for-all with a number of women favored to grab the title. And, even though the WTA Tour has a new number one in Ana Ivanovic, this is grass - rankings & seedings can go right out the window. Just ask Venus Williams…
Last year, V became the lowest seed and lowest ranked baller to ever hoist the Wimbledon trophy, the fourth time overall for the former no. 1. She may arrive on the grounds with little in the way of match play and her game may falter on other surfaces (most recently during her French Open third round loss), but when those EleVen-designed sneaks hit the green turf her serve is smacking, her forehand ferocious and her net game neutralizes anyone on the other side. V's the most dominant grass-courter of her generation and a fifth title is well within her (long) reach.
Lil' sis Serena is no stranger to the winner's circle at The All-England Club having been the champion here in 2002 and 2003 besting her sister in both encounters. ReRe had been on serious run this year with three titles (Bangalore, Miami, Charleston) before suffering a shocking third round loss to Katarina Srebotnik at Roland Garros. But never one to dwell in the past, the 8-time Grand Slammer's power game and superior serve are ideal for the quick skidding grass not to mention her world-class athleticism. ReRe's been drawn on the opposite side to her sister so they could only meet in the final and with her conqueror last year, Justine Henin, happily retired a final meeting is a very real possibility this year.
Someone who's familiar with battling and beating ReRe at Wimbledon is Maria "Shriek"apova. The 2004 champion began the year with a dominating run to the Aussie Open title and continued with wins in Doha and Amelia Island. But like V + ReRe, Maria was bundled (and booed) out of the French Open earlier than expected. She'll be more than happy to be back on the grass, however, where her flat, penetrating groundstrokes are at their most lethal and first-strike tennis is rewarded. But her serve has been inconsistent most noticeably at Roland Garros where double-digit double faults became the norm for the Russian. If her serve is on the way it was in 2004, she could make her second trip to the final Saturday. If it's off, however, Maria could be reliving Paris all over again.
The newly crowned French Open champion and current world no. 1 Ana Ivanovic is living the dream. The sexy Serb arrives at Wimbledon as the top seed at a Grand Slam for the first time and a newfound belief in her game. Ana has shown all year that when the going gets tough, she gets going (just ask Daniela Hantuchova) and she owns the best forehand in the women's game. But her serve can be inconsistent and she can be overpowered by bigger, stronger foes, which could pose a problem for her on the quick grass. The draw gods were kind to the 20-year old, though: Russia's Anna Chakvetadze is the highest seed in her quarter. A potential semifinal meeting with Serena Williams could be waiting in the wings for Ana.
Call me crazy but I'm picking Lindsay Davenport as my darkhorse this fortnight. The 1999 champion hasn't been playing much lately and just pulled from Eastbourne with a knee injury. But she has the experience and weapons to make a run here. She could have a tricky third round meeting with French Open finalist Dinara Safina, who admittedly isn't fond of the grass, and a potential quarterfinal Marquee Matchup with Maria "Shriek"apova. But with nothing to lose and her personal life in great shape, Lindsay can really swing for the fences and if a few hit the lines in key moments during the next two weeks, who knows?

HI all im making a board game and would like to have my map re-done.
Since looking to spend $35-$45 us via paypal.
This is my map that im using. (I know right, so bad)
This is the style I'd like it done in.
Now on my map its all islands but if you (as the expert) think that it would be better to have one solid continent with countries divided by borders somehow instead of islands then show me how it would look better.
The board is 18 inches x 18 inches so the map needs to be 5400x5400.
Each main country will need to have a tower of some sort close to it as this is a very important part of the game.
Only the main countries need to be named as shown, but if you think the smaller areas would be better with names then let me know and i will give you names.
Each small country should be big enough to hold about 10 soldiers from the risk board game.
You can find info on the game here.
my email is isaiah (dot) lawrence (at) "gee-mail" (dot) com
Subject of your response email should be "Tribes map" or something like that. If you would like to do it but would like to be paid more we can probably work something out.

Armstrong & Associates enters the executive recruitment sector
April 17, 2013
Another indication of resurgence in the third-party logistics (3PL) marketplace surfaced yesterday, as a leading industry consultancy entered the executive recruiting sector.
Armstrong & Associates, Inc., long known for its expertise in rating the performance of lead logistics providers globally, has announced the formation 3PLRecruiters, LLC.
"Helping 3PLs to hire new people to build capabilities, manage operations, and drive market expansion is often a natural outcome of A&A's core 3PL strategic consulting engagements," said Evan Armstrong, the consultancy's president.
Kurt Baumann, an executive vice president with Armstrong, will be in charge of the new offering.
"Kurt understands that this new division is an organic outgrowth of our business model," said Armstrong. "We see this as a natural extension for an industry we've served for many years."
While there are several trusted recruiting companies already active in the 3PL arena, Armstrong maintains that his firm will begin with "key differentiators." He stressed that his firm has an extensive network of contacts to leverage in finding qualified candidates.
"Remember, we are looking for senior decision-makers, not freight managers," he said. "We have visited hundreds of 3PL operations and understand what type of person is needed to be a top performer in specific roles."
Speaking on Logistics Management's first quarter new webcast last month, Armstrong noted that annual 3PL growth in 2013 is expected to be more than 6 percent, with much of current market activity centered around mergers and acquisitions, with many of the same underlying market fundamentals of 2012.

First you hire a supermodel...
First you hire a supermodel...
Older and wider.
Just to be the devil's advocate it is rather obvious that the choil is a mess and the grind, from that perspective, is a bit chunky, aka, looks like it needs thinning. If I were enthusiastic about the knife's cutting performance and giving a review I would point out that the knife performed such that you could simply ignore these apparent imperfections as they were for all practical considerations not evident anywhere else on the blade.
That being said, if I were the knife maker I would not want one of my pieces making it's way out in public looking like this particular knife, not good advertising.
Ahahaha, I really should read the comments more carefully especially when I come to a post late, please ignore mine concerning the messy looking choil, dohh!

Friday Afternoon News, Aug. 10
Iowa Attorney General Fines Le Mars Company $20,000
(Des Moines) -- After completing an investigation, Iowa's Attorney General Tom Miller held a news conference this morning regarding the gas pipline explosion incident that happened last April near Hinton. Miller is assessing the maximum fine upon Patrick and Cynthia DeRocher and DeRocher Construction for failing to provide a 48 hour notice of excavation. One week after the initial explosion, it was determined the DeRocher Construction Company again conducted excavations to install drainage tile within a quarter mile from the same pipelines, and again failed to provide 48 hour notice of the excavation. Attorney General Miller has fined the DeRochers a civil penalty of $20,000.
Miller called the episode "a serious case that warranted the maximum penalty." Miller says the incident "caused injuries, and it put themselves, emergency responders and the public at great risk". Miller continued to say, "all they had to do was make one free phone call that the law requires, and they didn't do it."

USDA Crop Report Shows Lowest Production In 17 Years
ST. LOUIS (AP) - The federal government says U.S. corn growers could end up with their lowest average yield in 17 years as the drought continues to take its toll.
The U.S. Agriculture Department is slashing its projected U.S. corn production to 10.8 billion bushels. That's down from its forecast last month of close to 13 billion bushels and 13 percent
lower than last year. That also would be the lowest production since 2006.
The USDA says it expects corn growers to average 123.4 bushels per acre, down 24 bushels from last year. That would be the lowest average yield since 1995.

DCI Investigating Voter Fraud
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) - An Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation agent has been assigned to a two-year term in Secretary of State Matt Schultz's office to look into cases of potential voter fraud.
County auditors told The Associated Press they were surprised when they were introduced to Special Agent Daniel Dawson during a meeting Wednesday in Cedar Rapids.
Auditors say Dawson told them that he was looking into 2,000 or more voters already.
Schultz's spokesman wouldn't confirm that number, noting many of them would turn out to be data errors. The Republican has vowed to prove that voter fraud exists in Iowa as he pushes for a voter identification law.
Schultz's aides have used data to look for people who voted in two states, noncitizens who voted illegally and deceased people who remain registered.

A good business plan helps you set attainable goals, manage resources, handle unforeseen problems and make solid decisions because it provides specific and organized information.
You can start with a start-up plan, which consists of a snapshot of your intended business venture. This is a good way to see how all the pieces would fit together and analyze how ready you are to start a PADI Dive Center or Resort. Plus, it works as an outline for the more complete business plan you'll need to create to launch and grow your business. A start-up plan generally includes a summary, mission statement, keys to success, market analysis and break-even analysis.
There are many resources available to help you create your business plan, including computer software, online templates, books with step-by-step guidelines or you could even hire a business consultant to assist you. It's important to choose a business plan template that you're comfortable with.
A business plan should be easy to read, follow and understand. It doesn't have to be long or overly complicated.
It does need to:
The most important part of the plan is the planning – the time you spend honestly thinking about and analyzing your new business. It's not about writing.
Make sure your goals are attainable and that you believe you can attain them. Know your boundaries and stick with them in your plan. Make sure you've covered all aspects of your new dive shop. A business plan makes it possible to have all your goals, plans, strategies and tactics in one place.
When you're planning a new business you need to consider who your primary target audience will be and who your customer may be in the future. A well-constructed customer profile helps a business organize and implement marketing efforts in a more efficient manner. Ask these questions and many more:
The success of your PADI Dive Center or Resort doesn't depend on whether you have a business plan – there are many factors that affect business growth and stability. However, completing a solid business plan increases your chances of success because it makes you evaluate the idea of opening a dive shop and better guides your decisions.

John Tejchma, of Muskegon, Mich., won the 2012 AMA Vintage 250 Hot Shoe Championship.
Tejchma's toughest competition?
"Steve Bromley from Pennsylvania was my toughest competitor. He kept me trying harder and traveling to all the tracks. I could see this wasn't going to be easy because most of the tracks we raced at ha had ridden in the past. I won the Daytona Short Track but fell behind finishing second in some of the races and winning others" said Tejchma.
He has been racing for 14 years. In 1970 he raced Amateur, Novice Pro in 1971 and '72, Junior Pro in 1973-'75 and Expert Pro in 1976-'80. Tejchma returned to racing in 2009 and has been competing at the Amateur level since then.
"The vintage series is awesome," Tejchma said. "One neat thing is the wide range of ages of the racers. Some of the bikes are some that my heroes rode and other bikes were from my era. Don Miller and the AMA has set very good spec and fair and clear rules in the vintage classes. We also get to ride at some of the best tracks."
For the 2013 season Tejchma plans to run as many AMA vintage races as possible and also plans to compete in certain D14 races at the tracks he likes.
The 2013 season may also be his last racing season.
"Running at most all the Vintage National Championship Series tracks last year about wore me out; mentally, physically, and financially. hey I'm 61 years old!" said Tejchma.
When he isn't racing, Tejchma and his wife enjoy camping, sailing and hanging out at the beach on Lake Michigan.
"I would like to thank my bike owner, tuner, and mentor, Tom Bethke. He was the person that got me to come back racing. He started the fire in me to go after the D14 Championships and then the Vintage National Championship. Also, I would like to thank my sponsors; ADES Collision Service, A-2-Z Auto, The Storage Group, Fruitport Automotive, West Michigan Vault Co., Mike's Landing Restaurant, C&C Cycle, Getty Street Grill, my Mom-Marge Tejchma, Jerry Tejchma, Tom Tejchma, Cathy Tejchma, Stan Johnson, Dave Soderstorm and Dick Shafer," said Tejchma.
"I would like to say, 2012 was the best racing season I have ever experienced. Going into the last race at Cuddebackville, knowing that the only chance to win the Championship was to win the race. My wife, Marie, was there with me and she knew how important winning the race and the Championship was to me. It was a dream that I have had for a very long time. Celebrating the win was very special for both of us, I just hope every racer could experience that feeling.
"I would also like to thank Don Miller, Joe Bromley, Ken Sailant, Steve Nace, Square Deal Motorcycle Club and everyone at the AMA that has anything to do with Vintage Racing and the awesome Banquet," said Tejchma.

Charlotte, NC (Sports Network) - NASCAR Chairman and CEO Brian France revealed
on Monday that defending Sprint Cup Series champion Brad Keselowski will not
be fined for comments he made about the sanctioning body on Saturday at Texas
Motor Speedway.
An angry Keselowski lashed out at NASCAR after the 500-mile race at Texas, in
response to officials confiscating the rear-end housing and other parts on his
No. 2 Ford during pre-race inspection. His Penske Racing teammate, Joey
Logano, also had the same parts seized on his No. 22 car during the inspection
France said during an interview on the cable news Fox Business Network that
Keselowski will not be penalized for his comments.
"No, we're not, because that's the beauty of NASCAR," France said. "We do
allow the drivers to express themselves in that way, even if they say things
that we would disagree with. I would certainly disagree with everything
(Keselowski) said."
Keselowski, who finished ninth at Texas, vented his frustration towards
NASCAR's actions when he spoke with reporters shortly after the race ended.
"I have one good thing to say, and that's my team and the effort they put in
today to fight back with the absolute (expletive) that's been the last seven
days in the garage area," Keselowski said. "The things that I've seen over the
last seven days have me questioning everything that I believe in, and I'm not
happy about it. I don't have anything positive to say, and I probably should
just leave it at that."
Keselowski was also upset with an incident that occurred during the April 7
race at Martinsville Speedway. A NASCAR pit lane official noticed that the
right-front tire on Keselowski's car was outside his stall when he pitted in
the closing stages. He had to be pushed back into the correct position and
ended up losing several spots in the field. He bounced back for a sixth-place
finish there.
"There's so much stuff going on that you guys (media) have no idea, you have
no (expletive) idea what's going on," Keselowski also said at Texas. "I can
tell you there's nobody, no team in the garage with the integrity of the 2
team. And the way we've been treated over the last seven days is absolutely
shameful. I feel like we've been targeted over the last seven days more than
I've ever seen in my life."
Last month, NASCAR slapped Denny Hamlin with a $25,000 fine for his critical
remarks made about the new Sprint Cup race car, the Gen-6, at Phoenix
International Raceway. NASCAR noted that Hamlin "made some disparaging remarks
about the on-track racing that had taken place that afternoon (March 3 at
France explained why NASCAR penalized Hamlin and not Keselowski.
"The line that we draw is that you can't criticize the racing product," France
said. "You can criticize our decisions, and you can criticize everything else,
which is more than any other sport might allow. But just don't go talking
about our racing product isn't the best in the world, because it is."

KALAMAZOO, MI -- To paraphrase Mark Twain, the rumored death of this deer was greatly exaggerated.
A Kalamazoo Public Safety Officer found that out early Tuesday morning in the 3700 block of East Cork Street.
Officer David Miller approached a suspicious vehicle in the parking lot behind the hotel at about 2 a.m. Tuesday. A Kalamazoo area man was sitting in the vehicle and the officer started talking with him.
During the discussion, Miller's attention was drawn to the trunk and the man hit the trunk release and told the officer that he had hit a deer and that the officer would want to check it out.
The man stated he had hit the deer, the deer was deceased and he was going to use the meat from the deer to feed his family.
Officer Miller opened the trunk cautiously, but the deer, which was not deceased, sprung from the trunk and took off into the woods.
The deer has not been seen since.

text: I know this has been talked about but I still am looking for some advise on how to keep the velvet while hunting the early season in the backcountry. Eastman's has some great shows showing some awesome bucks being killed in velvet and I keep waiting to see a article from the crew at Eastman's on how they prep their bucks shot in the velvet or what they do with them. I have seen some bucks shot that have had the fake velvet applied to the horns and they have turn out okay. Is this what everyone else is doing?

Potassium can be found in many foods. Abnormal blood levels of potassium can be very dangerous as they may lead to serious heart arrhythmias . Kidneys regulate the metabolism of potassium, making sure that its levels are appropriate. However, when your kidneys are not working properly, you often need to limit certain foods that can increase the potassium in your system.
If you need to limit your potassium, your doctor or dietitian will tell you how many milligrams (mg) you can have each day. They will also help you design a low potassium diet .
Food Sources of Potassium
Potassium is found in many foods, especially fruits and vegetables. If your doctor wants you to limit your potassium intake, you may want to consume less of the following foods that contain higher levels of potassium:
- Sweet potato
- Tomato juice, sauce, paste, and puree
- Beet greens
- Potatoes
- White beans
- Yogurt
- Canned clams
- Prune juice
- Carrot juice
- Soybeans and Lima beans
- Blackstrap molasses
- Certain fish such as halibut, yellowfin tuna, Pacific cod, rainbow trout
- Winter squash
- Bananas
- Cooked spinach
- Prunes
- Dried peaches or apricots
- Milk

Collected words of wisdom for the new year
(Page 2 of 3)
"Shop locally, and support businesses that support our communities. I often ask people, when they come into my store soliciting contributions for their worthy causes, how they made out at Roosevelt Field, Green Acres or online, and they always have the same answer: 'We can't get any contributions there because nobody has the authority to give away contributions.' Then doesn't it make sense to support local community businesses?"
—Bill Gaylor, president, Lynbrook Chamber of Commerce
"When horrific things like Hurricane Sandy and Newtown happen, we rally together as a community to pray, donate, volunteer or just be friendlier to our neighbors. We should act this way every day, and not just when there is disaster or senseless violence."
—Todd Weinstein, Friends of Barnum Woods Elementary School, East Meadow
"To seek each day for our thoughts to be honorable, our words to be kind and sincere and our deeds to be good and generous and compassionate. A small way to build Heaven on Earth."
—The Rev. Brenda Overfield, rector, Holy Trinity Episcopal Church, Valley Stream
"Encourage a friend or family member to take care of themselves through healthy eating habits and exercise. By helping someone else, you will naturally be helping yourself at the same time."
—Gary Schall, superintendent, Lawrence schools
"All of us need to start really caring about each other. It's about going a little bit out of your way to do something nice to show your neighbor that you care about them. If you care about your community — and not what your community can give you — then your neighborhood takes care of you."
—Helen Meittinis, president, Community Association of Stewart Avenue, Salisbury
"Although technology is advancing rapidly, and we are all becoming accustomed to its ability to connect us, our goal should be to maintain our personal physical contact, eye contact and spoken voice rather than via texting and email — and definitely no texting while driving or crossing busy streets!"
—Jeffrey Biegel, concert pianist and composer, Lynbrook
"In the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, we all must remember how important it is to help one another and care, regardless of how different we thought we were."
—Dr. Edward Fale, superintendent, Valley Stream District 24
