|3 calendar options considered
|Written by Brenda Johnson Brandt
Three calendar proposals for the 2012-13 school year in Holyoke School Dist. Re-1J were the center of extensive discussion at the Feb. 27 meeting of the Board of Education.
Two calendars with 175 student-teacher contact days were reviewed, as well as a third calendar with 180 days of instruction.
Input from each board member was heard, with a final compromise leaning to Calendar B. It will be on the March 6 meeting agenda for further discussion.
The calendar includes 175 days of instruction starting Wednesday, Aug. 22 and ending Friday, May 24. Testing will be conducted prior to the start-date.
Four days for spring break and nine staff and 10.5 student vacation days at Christmas are part of the proposal.
Seven professional development (PD)/staff meeting days will be scheduled before the start of school, with half-days for PD in October, January and February; and half-days for work in October, December, January, February and May.
Late starts will be scheduled every Friday with time every month to focus on utilizing data.
Supt. Bret Miles recommended the 180-day calendar, but said all three proposals meet the parameters set and will support district goals. He said he supported any of the three calendars.
Kim Killin cited a recent article in the American School Board Journal titled "Does More Time Help Student Achievement?" She said data from the article indicates the U.S. is not behind other countries.
She said adding time to the school year can be effective, particularly for disadvantaged students. Killin pointed out the after-school centers provide that time and amount to about five more calendar days.
She emphasized the 89 percent decline in numbers on the ineligible list from a year ago. "Just adding time isn't going to take us where we need to go," added Killin.
Reporting from the leadership team, Linda Jelden said everyone loved the concept of two testing days before school starts and liked the additional work time half-days. She said the two 175-day calendars really maximize work time and they are the ones she favors.
Dennis Herman pointed out repetition helps. The more time spent educating kids, the better educated they'll be. He said the drop in numbers on the ineligible list is great, but until test data can show improvement, results won't really be known.
Michelle Van Overbeke said with kids moving in and out of the district, the data doesn't always present a clear picture of the results. She cited targeted instruction as being so much more valuable. As a result, she sees the after school program as an additional five days of instruction.
She said the 180-day calendar has been tried this current year and they're hearing that it's been stressful.
Herman acknowledged he's willing to concede based on the two testing days before school equating to extra days. Additionally, the after school program has bought five focus days.
King was emphatic in his support for the 180-day calendar. "I still don't see how we can do more with less," he said. He noted he's worried about the bottom 50 percent of the students. "We're handcuffing administrators if we don't give them 180 days."
Kris Camblin said he understands where each board member is coming from, but supports the 175-day calendar to create more family time. "Hopefully the after school center will pick up those on the low end," he added.
Jelden expressed confidence in the administrative team, but still thinks they're not leaving half the kids behind with a 175-day calendar.
Jeff Tharp said he's willing to see what a little breather time will do after a year of a 180-day calendar. He added he's not committing for the long-term, but is willing to try it for this year.
Herman pointed out it will be very difficult to add those days back once they've been taken away.

there was a thread around here about a month ago with a pretty comprehensive list of building and things you might find in a city... though i cant seem to find it. ill keep on trying
Hey Everyone,
I am only new to all this. I have had a large interest in maps and mapping for some years, mainly thanks to my Father. Sadly he has passed away too soon and has left me with all of his hand drawn maps, which is amazing with such detail. This has urged me into mapping as some sort of Hobby. I have bought CC3 with CD3 as well as Fractal Terrains 2or3 i forget... My main focus right now is creating a grand city and I have some idea as to what I want it to look like. But I need some help, and what better place to get help then from this great community. What I ask of you is to help me list what a grand medieval type city needs and generally where certain building would be situated, for example, would the temple me placed close to the Lord's Keep or on the other side of the city.
I know it may not be much to go on, but any help would be much appreciated!!!
there was a thread around here about a month ago with a pretty comprehensive list of building and things you might find in a city... though i cant seem to find it. ill keep on trying

I found this quite helpful when I started. If you're a numbers guy, you might like it. The full book is a fantastic read.
Also, this website has an interesting chart about halfway down that will help you estimate the approximate number of things, such as taverns or doctors, based on the population of the city.
This cavern is below all, and is the foe of all. It is hatred, without exception. This cavern knows no philosophers; its dagger has never cut a pen. Its blackness has no connection with the sublime blackness of the inkstand. Never have the fingers of night which contract beneath this stifling ceiling, turned the leaves of a book nor unfolded a newspaper.
thanks for help... I'll be sure to post the finished product when I am happy with it!
Why wait 'til you have a finished product? We have a great community here that just BEGS for the opportunity to help people improve their maps and by posting your Work In progress in the WIPs you would be helping to satisfy their cravings... Either post it here or create a new thread with the work and I am sure you will get all kinds of suggestions/critiques/praises as you may need or desire.
Art Critic = Someone with the Eye of an Artist, Words of a Bard, and the Talent of a Rock.
Please take my critiques as someone who Wishes he had the Talent
What kind of city? For a fantasy city, the population breaks down into:
Drunk barroom brawlers 15%
Barkeeps 1%
Barmaids 2%
Beggars 12%
Town Guards 4%
Mysterious Strangers 2%
Harlots 10%
Shopkeepers 3%
Craftsmen 2%
Wizards, Kings, and Misc. 1%
Thieves 48%
This is the first update... It doesn't have a name just yet.
This town/city isn't going to be your typical town/city with a heap of slums and low end parts of the town/city... there still will be those parts, but for the most part it is a fairly well off town/city.
The island in the middle holds the Lord's Keep with the supporting buildings. These include the workers housing, kitchen house, docks and stables.
The large building within the walls to the west of the Keep is the Temple with the Chaplains Quarters the small building in between the trees
To the north of the Keep within the walls are the Barracks and Archery Range as well as the Army Stables.
Then the buildings to the immediate south of the Keep are some of the living quarters for the local population. This includes a couple of marketplaces and Inn's. You will notice some of the housing has fencing, living here are some of the most well off families.
If you are wondering why there are a fair few rich families in this city, there are other towns and villages in the surrounding area that supply the income to the town/city and the more better off people and families ave earned their way into living in this town/city.
I hope you all like the look of it... and please any help would be great.

With the last several processor generations being 64-bit and the better performance/scalability to be had on a 64bit system, I'm curious to hear from everyone
1) What are your reasons for staying 32-bit in production?
2) What ZCS version & OS version are are you on now?
3) Do you plan on moving from 32 > 64-bit architecture with your next major upgrade?
4) Will you be upgrading or purchasing new hardware with your next major upgrade?
5) Do you consider your organization an early adopter or do you wait till midway through a major cycle such as 6.0.7 etc?

Brooklyn, NY (Sports Network) - Down two starters and forced to take the road
for a do-and-die game against an opponent with renewed life, the Chicago Bulls
appeared to be out of gas.
As it turned out, they had just enough left in the tank.
Sparked by a gutsy 24-point, 14-rebound performance from Joakim Noah, the
Bulls overcame the absences of Luol Deng and Kirk Hinrich and advanced to the
Eastern Conference semifinals with a determined 99-93 victory over the
Brooklyn Nets at the Barclay Center.
Noah made good on 12-of-17 field goal attempts while playing 41 minutes on an
ailing foot, while Marco Belinelli poured in a critical 24 points of his own
while stepping in for Deng, who began the day in a Chicago hospital after
experiencing complications from a spinal tap. Hinrich, meanwhile, sat out a
third straight game due to an injured left calf.
Their efforts, along with a 17-point outing from Carlos Boozer, enabled
Chicago to win a Game 7 on the road for the first time in franchise history
and earn a date with defending NBA champion Miami in the second round. The
Bulls will visit the Heat for Game 1 on Monday.
Hosting their first-ever Game 7 playoff matchup, the Nets managed to cut a 17-
point halftime deficit down to four in the third quarter, but couldn't
overcome their early hole and failed to sustain the momentum built from two
straight victories in the series that forced the winner-take-all showdown.
Deron Williams scored 24 points and Gerald Wallace had 19 for the fourth-
seeded Nets. Brook Lopez added 21 points and nine rebounds, but was held to 9-
of-20 shooting in the loss.
Joe Johnson had an even tougher time against Chicago's tight defense, managing
just six points on a forgettable 2-of-14 night.

Plantidote of the Day 2013-02-19
Prunus persica
Peach blossom
[Plantidote readers, please see special note at the end.] According to the Sunset Western Garden Guide, peach trees need some cold weather (below 45 degrees) to produce fruit. This winter, Zone 10 has been pretty chilly. Maybe that's why the peach trees are covered with blossoms. In fact, I've never seen so many blooms on these trees. But the book also says that if spring is cool and rainy, the peaches won't do well. They really like a hot weather growing season. So now we have to wait and see how spring turns out. In the meantime, the blossoms are beautiful and so colorful, they make the whole yard come alive!
NOTE: Good news: I have work. Bad news: I can't do Plantidotes until the work is done. Would anyone -- maybe a couple of people -- like to take over, starting next week? It's actually not difficult or very time consuming. I can provide details if anyone is interested. Just email me at: firstname.lastname@example.com. KTXBAI!

Iowa DOT Unveils Four-Lane Plan For Highway 20
(Correctionville) -- The Iowa Department of Transportation showed off its plans to the public last evening for the expansion and improvement of Highway 20 for the eleven mile stretch of road for eastern Woodbury County. The plan is to make Highway 20 a four-lane road. Dakin Schultz of the Iowa D-O-T says work will begin in 2014.
Listen here
The Iowa D-O-T says they will continue to go through the town of Correctionville, rather than to by-pass the community.
Listen here
Many people believe the proposed four-lane highway 20 will bring additional economic development to northwest Iowa. Shirley Phillips of Sac City serves as the chair person for the Highway 20 Association.
Listen here
But not everyone is in favor of a four-lane Highway 20. Robert Braninger has about a half a mile of land that will be affected. He says a four-lane road is not needed.
Listen here
Braninger says he would rather sell his land at half the price to a person interested in farming the ground as opposed to asking double the money and selling the land to the state for a highway.
Branstad Names New Insurance Commissioner
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Governor Terry Branstad has name an executive with a West Des Moines financial group as Iowa's new insurance commissioner.
Thirty-seven-year-old Nick Gerhart of Des Moines will replace Susan Voss, who is retiring. He will begin his new job this fall and will assume all responsibilities when Voss retires at the end
of the year.
Gerhart is currently vice president of compliance and regulatory affairs at Sammons Financial Group. He previously was an executive at American Equity Investment Life Insurance Company.
The insurance commissioner oversees companies and individuals in the sale of insurance in Iowa, including the rates they charge.
The 56-year-old Voss has been with the Iowa Insurance Division since 1993 and commissioner since 2005.
Trial Set Regarding Van Maur Store
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) - A trial has been scheduled for the lawsuit filed to keep Coralville from luring a Von Maur store to the city's Iowa River Landing development.
The trial is scheduled to begin Sept. 16 next year, more than 15 months from now.
The lawsuit says the transaction conveying land, a building and other incentives to Von Maur through San Diego-based OliverMcMillan, the city's private developer, was structured illegally and constituted an illegal gift under Iowa law.
The city's counterclaim alleges conspiracy and interference with a contract. It argues the lawsuit caused unspecified contracts between unspecified parties not to be performed, or made the
performance of the contracts "more burdensome or expensive."
Officials Worry About Possible Drought
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - The U.S. Drought Monitor map shows some southern Iowa counties are experiencing moderate drought.
A swath of north-central Iowa already was in that state. The map shows that counties on only the western edge of Iowa have normal moisture conditions.
Des Moines commodity broker Tomm Pfitzenmaier says rain is especially needed in the next couple of weeks because nearly half of the state's corn crop is expected to be pollinating by
Independence Day.
The drought map is a project shared by the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the National Weather Service.
The map shows the Nebraska Panhandle in moderate drought and that only the northeast side of Nebraska has normal moisture. The map data were acquired before thunderstorms moved through much of the state overnight Thursday.
Girl Scout Theft
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - A 34-year-old Des Moines woman has been accused of stealing from a Girl Scout troop she had been leading.
Jeri Bruce is charged with third-degree theft and unauthorized use of credit cards. Both are misdemeanors.
The troop leader who took over after Bruce left the organization told police that she found more than $2,000 in suspicious purchases and that more than $8,000 was missing from the troop's bank
account. The account was shared by four troops who had raised the money from cookie sales and dues.
Online court records say Bruce's next court hearing is scheduled for Thursday.
A public phone listing for Bruce could not be found. Online court records don't list the name of Bruce's attorney.
University of Iowa and Anheuser-Busch Make Agreement
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) - The University of Iowa athletic department has approved a four-year marketing agreement with beer giant Anheuser-Busch.
Critics say the deal conflicts with the university's campaign for responsible consumption of alcohol.
The deal will let logos for Anheuser-Busch beer products and Iowa's Tigerhawk to share space. But whenever they do, the item they sit upon also most carry a message: "Responsibility
History professor Jeffrey Cox says he thinks it's hypocritical for the university to spend money to curb drinking but also accept money from beer makers.
University President Sally Mason says proceeds from the beer deal will fund the university's program to reduce binge drinking.

Venus + Serena Williams will be facing off for the 17th time today in the first Marquee Matchup of the women's draw when the sisters meet in the US Open quarterfinals. This matchup was eagerly anticipated after their high-quality battle in the Wimbledon final but disappointing because the Sisters Sledge are playing the best ball in the draw and only one can possibly make it to the final Saturday. Oh well.
V completely outclassed Agnieszka Radwanska crushing the ninth seed 6-1, 6-3 by hitting 33 winners to 11 for Aggie and 4 aces to none for the Polish baller. ReRe followed her sister's lead by dismantling Frenchie qualifier Severine Bremond 6-2, 6-2 hitting 24 winners to only 11 errors.
Their head-to-head stands at 8-8 and 2-1 at the US Open in favor of V. Their last meeting was in the Wimbledon final this year where older sis' broke a streak of five straight Grand Slam final losses to ReRe. V came back from a break down in the first set to grab her fifth Wimbledon title and seventh overall.
Here's what V had to say about ReRe:
I think more than anything she likes to win. She loves her job and loves what she does and loves the competition and all that comes with being able to be at the top of what you do, best in the world. Ultimately that's what it boils down to, I think, for both of us.ReRe had this to say about facing V:
It sucked that it can't be the final. At least the semis. It's so soon. Actually for me, I've been really working on playing more and getting my ranking together. You know, it's just disappointing to be so soon.Outlook: This is truly a tough one to call. Clearly ReRe will be super-motivated to avenge the loss to V at Wimby. But she may feel more pressure to defeat her older sister, not to mention having the top ranking on the line, which could lead to tightness and errors. Morevoer, the 26-year old has struggled to close out big matches recently when the going got close - something to watch out for in this match.
V has looked outstanding - calm, cool, and collected on the court. She had the tougher fourth rounder and completely whitewashed Aggie, a very crafty and capable baller in her own right.
I'm thinking this match will most likely go the distance with V edging out ReRe again for a place in the final four.

Big 12 Champions!
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – No. 16 Iowa State (26-7, 11-7 Big 12) outscored Baylor (24-11, 9-9 Big 12) 18-7 in the final four minutes Saturday night to claim the 2014 Big 12 Conference Championship Tournament, 74-65.
Iowa State struggled in Baylor's zone for much of the night, but once they figured it out, the Cyclones made the Bears pay by finishing the game with points on 10 of their last 11 possessions.
Down 58-56 with 3:56 remaining, Naz Long and Melvin Ejim hit back-to-back treys to give ISU a 64-60 lead, an advantage they never relinquished.
DeAndre Kane led a group of five Cyclones in double figures with 17 points. Kane, who was named the MVP of the tournament, was joined by Georges Niang and Melvin Ejim on the all-tournament team.
The victory was Iowa State's second Big 12 Postseason Championship (2000).
Iowa State couldn't have started the game any worse, as the Baylor zone gave the Cyclones fits. ISU missed its first 13 shots, as the Bears raced out to an 11-1 lead. Long finally dented the field goal column with a 3-pointer to end the drought.
BU led 21-11 with the Cyclones still mired in a shooting slump at 2-of-18. Long again took the lid off with a trey and Kane soon capped off an 8-3 Cyclone run with a 3-pointer to cut the lead to 24-19 with 3:18 left in the first half.
Niang scored a pair of buckets to cut the led to 29-27 with under a minute remaining, but Kenny Cherry was fouled on a 3-pointer in the closing seconds, making all three charity shots to put BU up 32-27 at the break.
Both teams settled down offensively in the second half. BU got the lead up to eight points, but back-to-back hoops by Kane made it 41-37 Bears with 13:46 left in the game.
BU jumped back out in front 49-41, but the Cyclones went on a 12-1 run to go up 53-50 with 5:42 left. Long and Melvin Ejim hit back-to-back treys in the flurry.
It went back and forth for the next two minutes. Brady Heslip gave BU a 58-56 lead with a trey, but Long answered with a 3-pointer to push ISU back out in front, 59-58 with under four minutes remaining in the contest.
Keys to the Game
Closing The Game. On its 18-7 run to close the game, the Cyclones scored on 10 of their final 11 possessions. That was the key in the victory.
The Cyclones have thrived in finishing games and today was no different. It marked the second game in a row where the Cyclones won after trailing by 10 points in the game. ISU shot 69.6 percent in the second half, making 16-of-23 shots from the field.
Cyclone Game Ball Goes to…
DeAndre Kane. Kane was ISU's go-to player yet again, recording 17 points, seven rebounds and seven assists. Kane was 4-of-8 from the field and 8-of-8 from the free-throw line.
His seven assists gives him 192 on the season, the fifth-best season total in school history.
Cyclone Notes
*Melvin Ejim had nine rebounds, passing Zaid Abdul-Aziz for the second most career boards in school history at 1,031
*Ejim started his 123rd career game, tying him with Coach Hoiberg for the second-most starts in school history.
*DeAndre Kane handed out seven assists to give him 192 this season, ranking fifth on ISU's single-season chart.
*Naz Long made 4-of-6 shots from downtown. He is now 13-of-21 in his last five games from 3-point range.
*Fred Hoiberg now has 88 wins in his first four years, the best four-year win total in school history.
*Hoiberg is 6-2 all-time vs. Baylor.
*ISU's 26 victories ranks second all-time in school history in season wins behind the 1999-200 team (32).

APA Session Rule #5
10 comments:
I agree with most of your rules, but this one is just dumb. There's no reason to defend something that is obviously wrong, especially when this might derail an otherwise fruitful conversation that presupposes the claim in question is false.
- March 3, 2012 at 3:03 PM
I think Anonymous at 3:03 doesn't understand the rule. If the paper is centrally a criticism of X, and the paper was accepted, then surely philosopher X has some merits. This rule does not demand we defend obviously wrong propositions, it demands someone defend central figures who are being objected to if no one else has done so. Seems reasonable.
- March 3, 2012 at 4:04 PM
New objections to views that have already been discredited occur all the time. It is important to not just reject a false views, but reject it for the right reason. The rule would require that even if everyone at the talk thinks the view is wrong and there is a fruitful discussion about why it is wrong and whether the new objection really gets at the fundamental problem with the view, some poor schmuck in the audience should get up and try to defend the view--thereby derailing the entire conversation. Good idea.
- March 3, 2012 at 5:35 PM
"As far as I know, outside the black nationalist movement no one has ever been named 'x'."
Naming and Necessity, p. 107.
- March 3, 2012 at 11:01 PM
Did that "x" quantify over "Malcolms"? Just sayin'.
- March 3, 2012 at 11:45 PM
I don't think the situation suggested by 5:35 falls under the rule. 5:35's case would be one where the main point of the paper is not a criticism of some philosopher, X. It is where the main point of the paper is that some previous objections to a view, V, are bad ones, and we should instead reject V for new reasons. This seems to be a case where there is a presumption in the paper that V is incorrect, and so surely it is not necessary to argue with this in Q&A (though someone might want to), but that is different than the purpose of the paper being to show that V is incorrect, and the commentator agreeing that V is incorrect. That seems to be the case that the rule is meant to cover.
- March 4, 2012 at 4:24 PM
I take it that it's incumbent on someone other than Spiros to defend X?
- March 5, 2012 at 5:52 AM
Suck it, Kripke. You too, Glaucon.
(Am I doing it right, Spiros? Someone has to defend your view against the speaker and his sympathetic commentator, at least until you get back?)
- March 5, 2012 at 4:04 PM
blog thread is not APA session, jerkies.
- March 5, 2012 at 6:50 PM
Dear anon, thank you for your comment. I really appreciate it. We should spend some time discussing it. After all, you did go to all the trouble of actually typing it. So thank you again. Good of you. As for the substance of your comment, it is really not true that Title 14, Section 1211 of the Code of Federal Regulation, makes it illegal for U. S. citizens to have any contact with extraterrestrials or their vehicles. So I must respectfully and regretfully disagree. It only forbids procreative acts.

Item # ZIP0102
Don't worry though, we have a lot more Tubular Wheels in stock than that.View Similar Products
Zipp 1080 Front Wheel - Tubular $0.00
For road racing and triathlons alike, the Zipp 1080 Carbon Tubular Front Wheel is the weapon of choice for the gods and goddesses of the clock. It's a purebred time-trialing hoop that's significantly faster and easier to handle than even most disc wheels. Its 108mm deep, fully toroidal profile is still much lighter than a disc wheel, making it perfectly suited for TT courses when crosswinds and hills are a potential threat -- and when are they not? The toroidal profile (think of a doughnut or a rubber o-ring as a basic toroid shape) has been tested to be nearly 30 seconds faster over 40km than even a traditional tri-spoke wheel without generating any side force due to wind.
The tubular 1080 is built with Zipp's Carbon Bridge manufacturing technology. Zipp stitches Kevlar thread in a co-axial helix (think round) to bind the layers of carbon fiber at the top of each rim's sidewall. What the stitched segment does is better spread out the compressing load that the rim experiences as it nears and passes the ground. They call it a 'capstone.' The result is a tubular rim that is 28% more impact resistant than earlier iterations and allows Zipp to remove material from under the tire bed (hence the diet between the previous iteration and this one).
The 1080 now comes standard with Zipp's new 88/188 hub, whose beefy 17mm axles are larger in diameter than most mountain bike hubs, and their Swiss bearings are as precise as many of the ceramic upgrades you see in the marketplace.
The Zipp 1080 Carbon Tubular Front Wheel has 16 radial spokes. All spokes are straight-pull Sapim X-Ray with aluminum nipples. The rim width is 27.5mm. A skewer is not included.

BLACKSBURG, Va. (AP) -- Republican Ken Cuccinelli is defending the rights of gun owners during his debate with Democrat Terry McAuliffe, saying tougher laws would not have prevented the massacre on Virginia Tech's campus that left 33 dead.
But the specter of the 2007 massacre on this campus was an early instance where Cuccinelli and McAuliffe split.
Robert Sarvis, who is also running for governor said in a statement, "The debate didn't offer much value for voters. This is what two men without ideas or depth look like. Virginia voters were prevented from hearing me discuss the problems and challenges we face. The Commonwealth's electorate was deprived of an opportunity to hear about my vision of a Virginia that's both 'Open-minded and Open for Business.'"

DATCP/DOR JOINT RELEASE: Filing Date Extended for Wisconsin Farmers (PDF)
Contact: Jim Dick (DATCP), 608-224-5020 or Laurel Patrick (DOR), 608-266-2300
MADISON - The Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) and Wisconsin Department of Revenue (DOR) announced today that farmers who choose not to make quarterly estimated tax payments will not be subject to interest on underpayment of estimated tax if they file their 2012 Wisconsin income tax return and pay the full amount of tax due by April 15, 2013. The customary deadline for Wisconsin farmers to file their 2012 Wisconsin income tax return and pay tax without facing underpayment penalties is March 1, 2013.
"The Department of Revenue wants to make sure that farmers are aware of this extension to file and pay without underpayment penalties to April 15, 2013," said Department of Revenue Secretary Richard Chandler. "Keeping our citizens informed of changes to deadlines is critical to providing good customer service and ensuring compliance with tax laws."
The extension is in response to the January enactment of the federal American Taxpayer Relief Act (ATRA). The ATRA caused a delay in the release of several tax forms that are often filed by farmers, including Form 4562, Depreciation and Amortization. The Internal Revenue Service is providing similar relief.
"It is easier for all Wisconsin farmers when the state and federal governments coordinate their efforts for filing tax forms and making payments," said DATCP Secretary Ben Brancel. "I encourage farmers to contact their tax preparers to discuss how the new deadline for filing and making estimated tax payments impacts them."
A taxpayer qualifies as a farmer for the 2012 tax year if at least two-thirds of the taxpayer's gross income was from farming in either 2011 or 2012. For a married couple filing a joint return, gross income is the joint total gross income of both spouses.
Farmers who do not make the April 15, 2013 deadline will be subject to interest on underpayment of their estimated tax. This extension is for 2012 returns only.
Farmers who file their Wisconsin income tax returns and pay the amount of tax due by April 15, 2013, can request this waiver of underpayment interest by entering exception code 4 in the bracketed space on line 55 of Form 1 (line 83 of Form 1NPR). Farmers do not need to attach Schedule U, Underpayment of Estimated Tax by Individuals and Fiduciaries, to their Wisconsin income tax returns.
More information can be found on the Department of Revenue's website at http://www.revenue.wi.gov/taxpro/news/130124.html.

Co. Compensation Bd Proposes 3.9% Salary Increase
(LeMars) -- It took a while to reach an agreement, but the Plymouth County Compensation Board was finally able to agree on a salary level for elected county employees and the County Supervisors. Compensation Board Chairman Craig Bauerly says the system does work.
Listen here
Each of the Compensation board members believe the elected officials are entitled to a salary raise. John Koley wanted the compensation board to consider a two-tier approach with both a base salary increase along with an increase for the cost of living expenses. Board chairman Craig Bauerly countered Koley's proposal by saying he would not reccommend a salary base plus a cost of living increase. Board member Larry Peterson reminded the Compensation Board that they need to be realistic with their recommendation to the Supervisors. The Compensation Board started the discussion with a range of a bottom figure of three percent up to the ceiling of four and a half percent increase. The first motion was to grant an across the board salary increase of 3 percent which failed from not receiving a second. The second motion was a proposal for a salary raise of 3.5 percent increase in salary. The motion failed on a 6 to 1 vote against the salary increase. The board then decided to split the percentage of salary increases with the elected officials receiving a 4.5% increase and the supervisors were to get a 2.5% increase. That proposal was defeated on a 4 to 3 vote against the measure. Board member John Koley then made a motion consisting of a 4.8 percent increase for the elected officials and a 3.6 percent increase for the supervisors. That motion failed due to not having a second. Chairman Bauerly proposed a rate of 3.5 percent increase for the elected officials and for the supervisors to get a 2.5 percent increase. That motion failed for not receiving a second to the motion. Jeremy Bunkers then submitted a proposal that met with approval with the majority of the compensation board. The proposal was to give elected officials a 3.9% percent increase and the supervisors are to receive a 3 percent increase. The measure passed on a 4-3 approval vote. The proposal will be officially and formally submitted to the County Board of Supervisors for their consideration during their next meeting. Bauerly says it is now in the hands of the supervisors.

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (AP) - Almost 800 food and building-service workers at the University of Illinois will walk off the job for three days beginning Monday.
Service Employees International Union Local 73 spokesman Adam Rosen said Sunday that a majority of workers from both bargaining units rejected the university's contract offer. He would not disclose the vote total.
University spokeswoman Robin Kaler says the university is "disappointed" but made what it considers a fair offer. She says managers will step in to serve food and do essential cleaning.
Negotiations began in June, and a federal mediator is now involved. Outstanding issues include wages, provisions regarding retaliation against employees and the privatization of some work.
Rosen says the strike "is the way to show the university how important the workers are to the university's daily life."

Another bike that reveals distinct motorcycle philosophies is the six cylinder Benelli Sei in its 750 and 900cc forms.Those machines were damned with faint praise when they came out in th 1970s, mainly because they didn't melt the tarmac quite as much as expected. Power and torque outputs were no better than any equivalent displacement, run-of-the-mill, four cylinder Japanese machine. The motorcycle journalists quickly moved on to the next crop of UJMs to get a better all-expenses-paid power kick.But have a look and listen to some Benelli Sei footage on YouTube. If I had one of those machines I'd be forever starting it up on its center stand just to hear it idle. That straight six sound is so charismatic. The motor makes even sweeter music when it is opened up on the road. And just look at that fabulous church organ array of six silencers.If you see such a machine as worthless just because it lost the BHP and foot pounds race by a small margin then you are just an appliance user and not a real motorcyclist at all.

Alice Whitley, with the Beeville school, said there was no threat made to the local campus and the children were never in any danger.
The parents of those children upset by the precautionary 1:30 p.m. lockdown were called and allowed to pick up their students.
A few parents did pick up their children early.
"If parents wanted to come get their children, after a period of time they were allowed to come sign their children out and pick up their children," she said.
The lockdown just meant that the children remained in their classrooms from 1:30 p.m. until dismissal at 4 p.m.

Commercial Bankruptcy
If your company has been involved in a loan default with one or more of its creditors and you simply don't have the funds to repay the monies owed, you might be able to benefit from filing Chapter 11 Bankruptcy. This type of bankruptcy amounts to a simple reorganization of your business. One point that's of real significance in these proceedings is that Chapter 11 protects your company's assets from being auctioned off to repay its debts.
Advantages of Chapter 11 Bankruptcy
Some of the advantages of Chapter 11 Bankruptcy include:
- Protection of your company's assets
- Ongoing operation of your business
- Your continued management of your company
- Greater flexibility than other chapters
Ongoing Business Operations
Chapter 11 Bankruptcy can typically allow your company to continue functioning while following an agreed-upon plan for repaying its debts. Whereas certain types of bankruptcy force businesses to sell their assets to satisfy their creditors, thus preventing them from generating new profits and possibly becoming viable again, Chapter 11 allows your company to carry on its day-to-day operations, with you serving as manager, under court supervision.
Confirming Your Own Repayment Plan
With this type of bankruptcy, your company's creditors must generally agree to a reorganization plan before it can be implemented. However, under certain circumstances, you may be able to get your own plan confirmed despite their opposition, as long as you can meet certain statutory requirements.
Greater Flexibility at a Higher Cost
While Chapter 11 Bankruptcy is more flexible than other bankruptcy types, that flexibility usually comes with a higher price tag. The success rate of company reorganizations under this chapter is also typically quite low. For these reasons, you'll want legal advice from a bankruptcy attorney on which bankruptcy chapter would be most suitable to your company's specific circumstances and whether Chapter 11 would actually work best for your business.

WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- A woman from Virginia is one of the 80 people who died after a train derailed in Spain.
The Catholic News Service says Ana-Maria Cordoba was a benefits specialist for Virginia's Arlington Diocese and was traveling with her husband and daughter. Cordoba's husband is in the hospital expected to recover from skull injuries. Her daughter suffered a broken leg and she is listed in stable condition.
Her son had just completed a very long arduous traditional Christian pilgrimage in Spain and the famili had gone to visit him. In fact, many of people who were on the train were heading to the Feast of St. James when the cars derailed.
The DC Archdiocese tweeted Thursday evening, "Pray with us for those involved in the train accident in Spain, especially Ana Maria Cordoba from @arlingtonchurch, who died in the wreck."
Friday, the Arlington Diocese says that friends and colleagues of Ana Maria Cordoba will be praying for her during noon mass at the Cathedral of St. Thomas More in Arlington, Va.
The Cordobas were on their way to meet their son, who had finished a pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela.
"It's been a very difficult day for staff," said Michael Donohue, spokesperson for the Catholic Diocese of Arlington. "We've prayed intensely since we learned that she passed and are praying for the family."
Speed was a factor in the crash, according to investigators. Investigators say the 52-year-old conductor is a 30-year employee of the state rail company. CBS News reports that last year he bragged online about running his trains right at the speed limit -- any faster he said he'd be fine.
But investigators are also taking a close look at mechanical failures possibilities there. A speed analyst estimates the train was traveling between 89 and 119 miles an hour. The speed limit on that curve is 50 miles an hour.

The Various Segments that Comprise the...
Which Countries Are the East's Most...
Researchers Are Developing Ways to Edit...
It Remains Extremely Challenging to Identify...
RainDance Technologies will collaborate separately with Ambry Genetics and Roche's 454 Life Sciences to develop and commercialize screening panels to enable simpler and more cost-effective ADME studies.
The panel to be developed by RainDance and Ambry will allow scientists to perform sequence analysis of entire coding regions associated with more than 220 key drug metabolism-linked genes including transporters, receptors, regulators, and all pharmacodynamic and pharmacogenetic genes as well as all FDA-identified pharmacogenomic biomarker genes. The new panel, provided as part of the Ambry ADME sequencing service, will employ RainDance's primer design methods and microdroplet-based RDT 1000 platform.
RainDance is also working with 454 to develop an ADME gene screening research panel. The collaboration combines RainDance's microdroplet technology with 454's GS Junior and GS FLX next-gen sequencing platforms.
RainDance and 454 say their work will allow researchers to interrogate a set of core pharmacokinetic and pharmacology genes while at the same time detect known and unknown functional mutations associated with drug metabolism and response.
Privately held RainDance closed a Series D financing round of $37.5 million in January. Last year it inked deals that coupled its technology with sequencing platforms of Pacific Biosciences and Life Technologies.
Publicly traded Roche, which posted sales of CHF 47.5 billion (about $51.3 billion) in 2010, joined Fluidigm last October to co-promote their respective and complementary sample-preparation and sequencing platforms, worldwide.

I must have received a bad pair, I really wanted mine to be what everyone talks about. Mine wore the back side of my heals raw, leak like a sieve and the tread was worn down 75% in the first season, is it possible I received a "lemon" pair of boots?
I must have received a bad pair, I really wanted mine to be what everyone talks about. Mine wore the back side of my heals raw, leak like a sieve and the tread was worn down 75% in the first season, is it possible I received a "lemon" pair of boots?
I bought a pair last year and was dealing with significant blisters on my heels as others have mentioned and was starting to get a bit frustrated, but I didn't really do much in the way of breaking them in before doing a lot of steep uphill hiking. I read that it takes about 50 miles to get a good "mid-foot flex." I spent some more time just wearing them around, mowing the lawn and whatnot. I also spent a few evening while watching TV just flexing my boots with my hands. Since, these boots have gone from blocky, uber stiff boots that I felt uncoordinated in, to absolutely awesome mountain boots with the just the right amount of stiffness. The heel blisters have disappeared and I am finally really satisfied with my purchase, but it took quite a bit of time and patience.
Can't spell scum without U&M... Go 'Cats!
Timberstalker, I don't think you bought a bad pair, I think that your foot needs a different boot. Everyones foot is different and you just haven't found the right boot for you. The bad part of this story is that it can get expensive trying boot after boot. Some people who have bad luck with Kenetrek have had good luck with the Mendle's, Lowa's and the Crispi. But I have never tried them. I have tried the Zamberlain and I had similar results as the Kenetreks but after a couple of months they stated hurting one of my feet which has problems. I don't think it was the boots fault but was the foot. Nevertheless, since the Zamberlain was similar to the Kenetreks for me then it probably will not be good for you. Good luck in your search for the right boot. fatrascal.
I just bought me a pair of these boots and I really like them, but when I go uphill, I can feel my heel slip in and out of the heel pocket and I know this will absolutely kill my feet in the long run. I have 30 days to wear them and return them if they don't fit right, but how long do I give them to see if I can get rid of the heel slip? Its not like I can go out hiking a few miles a day to test them out then try to return them. Any suggestions?
I'm assuming that its just because they are really stiff and don't flex with my foot quite right yet, but I don't really want to gamble $400 on a pair of boots I hope stop letting my heel slip.
Now therefore, please take your weapons, your quiver and your bow, and go out to the field and hunt game for me.
Genesis 27:3 (NKJV)
I only know what I went through. I bought mine in June of '11, that September was my sheep hunt. I wore them all summer trying to break them in, hiking, walks, when ever I could. I thought they were ready by my hunt. Within the first few days of the hunt the backs of my heal were raw with blisters, I bandaged them up and kept at it. By the end of the first week the blisters healed and I have been good ever since. I must have had 200+ miles on mine before they quit giving my heals troubles. Then that next month I wore them elk hunting in wet conditions and my feet were wet within the first hour of the hunt. Not good....
I bought the uninsulated wide version as my feet are usually hot and are wide. They seemed crazy stiff at first but were comfortable, if that makes sense. Then had some heel hot spots and minor blisters when under load and actually pretty easy hiking. thought they were going to have that problem indefinetly, and that they just didn't fit me well. Continued wearing them and heel problem seemed to work out (maybe it was as the sole began to flex a bit more). This was their third season and finally wore through tips on a NM desert hunt that had lots of vertical and sharp rocks. Plan on filling the two hole with some Aqua seal and keep on using them. Also plan on buying some insulated ones for a winter/snow likely hunt, either Kennetreks or Lowa.
I'll continue to try and break mine in, but damn it's a painful process. 100 miles on them and they still tear my heels up when hiking up steep terrain. Sent them back so the boot-smith could work on them. Didn't make much difference. At $400 a pair I'm committed to continue trying, just won't do it during real hunts where I can't afford to get a blister. I don't believe the theory of the sole breaking in and flexing. I think it's the front that needs to break in, allowing your ankle to pivot forward without the leather torquing your heel back. I've done a lot of mountaineering and wear extremely stiff plastic boots all day long, often carrying a heavy pack and climbing thousands of vertical feet in a climb. There's almost no break in either. I wear them on snow, ice, rocks, trails and scree with no issues. Those soles don't break in because they don't flex. The upper flexes, actually pivots forward, but not the sole. I don't know why the hunting industry doesn't learn from the mountaineering industry.
We'll see, hopefully next year I can write a post that my Kenetreks finally work great. Otherwise I have $400 door stops.
Now therefore, please take your weapons, your quiver and your bow, and go out to the field and hunt game for me.
Genesis 27:3 (NKJV)
I thought about a pair,but seemed like alot of issues with heal slip.I tried the crispi's and have had no problems with a hard full season of hunting in Idaho"s mnts and rocks.Hope this helps,Larry

Sabbaticals for Administrative and Professional Staff
Policy Statement
Sabbaticals are a means of administrative and professional staff development, mutually beneficial to the employee, to the employee's department, and to the advancement of the University's goals and objectives.
The sabbatical allows released time from regular duties to engage in research, study, writing, or other forms of professional development. It is available to those who have served at least seven consecutive years as a full-time administrator or professional staff member at Marywood University.
The number of sabbaticals granted will depend on the needs of the University, and on the availability of University funds.
Upon return from the sabbatical, the employee is expected to file a report of sabbatical activity within three months to the President of the University, copied to the appropriate vice president and to the employee's immediate supervisor. Professional staff members also send a copy to the Administrative and Professional Staff Development Committee.
Time spent on sabbatical is counted, if applicable, toward promotion.
Prime consideration in selecting candidates will be given to the quality of the proposal presented and its expected benefit in terms of its contribution to the goals and objectives of the University, the employee's department, and the anticipated growth and consequent effectiveness of the applicant as a professional.
Other considerations will include the timeliness of the proposal, the length of service of the applicant, the priority due first sabbaticals, and the denial of a previous request because of limited funds.
While on sabbatical, the employee may receive full salary for one-half year or half salary for a full year. Benefits are continued in proportion to salary during the sabbatical.
There is an obligation to return to the University for at least one year following the leave. If the employee does not return following the sabbatical, he or she is liable for repayment of the salary and benefits paid during the sabbatical.
An eligible administrator or professional staff member discusses a plan for the proposed sabbatical with the immediate supervisor.
The supervisor prepares a letter in which the plan is evaluated in terms of departmental needs and staff development. The letter should address such matters as the extent to which the work of the department will be affected and whether a replacement for the employee will be necessary during the sabbatical.
Applications, with the supervisor's letter attached, must be made by October 15 of the fiscal year preceding the requested sabbatical. Administrators submit their materials to their vice presidents; professional staff members submit theirs to the Administrative and Professional Staff Development Committee.
The vice president's or committee's recommendation will be sent to the President of the University by December 1.

Easy to follow instructions. Good quality paper and perforated lines are nice and smooth. Does not rip when tearing them apart.
This review is from Laser & Ink Jet Rotary Cards 5385:
What a great product - I had to create Rolodex files for a couple of different departments so these were a true find ... so much easier to fill in the template and not have to handwrite 500 cards!!
This review is from Laser & Ink Jet Rotary Cards 5385:
The Avery small rotary cards (#5385) are great! I use them daily to update our address file for nursing staff at our hospital. They run through the printer easily and the perforations come apart easily after printing. The paper is heavyweight and doesn't "peel" on the edges after frequent use. My ONLY critique would be for the top edges to be rounded, but otherwise I LOVE the product!
This review is from Laser & Ink Jet Rotary Cards 5386:
I use these to print from my ACT! database. It really works. They hold together in the printer, and fit the Rolodex frame perfectly.
This review is from Laser & Ink Jet Rotary Cards 5385:
We don't use these as much as we used to but we still have some vendors who provide their info to us that we put on these cards. We are leaning more towards electronic contacts now.

I've got a mystery I'm hoping someone can solve. I have a family
member using MS Outlook 2007 on a PC running Vista. She receives
email at her college address and she has Zimbra software on her
machine, which I believe forwards or converts emails to Outlook.
I have seen, on several occasions, emails in her inbox get converted
to contacts - right before my eyes. After they get converted, the
contact just has a random (or at least unknown) name to her. It looks
like someone had sent her a contact (.vcf file) in the first place.
The interesting thing is that on her college email site, I can see the
original email. So, the conversion is occuring somewhere between
Zimbra and Outlook.
I searched Google but didn't find any posts on this issue. In
thinking that there must have been some email file corruption, I ran
the Inbox Repair tool on her .pst file and her Zimbra file. This
fixed the problem for about 2 days, but unfortunately, the problem
just returned.
Does anyone have any tips on how to diagnose this problem? Her MS
Office disk is back at school and her college Help Desk is on break.
So, doing an uninstall/reinstall and/or calling the college tech
support line is not an option until she is back at school.
Thanks in advance.

ATLANTA -- Thursday afternoon, members of the newly-minted 113th Congress were officially sworn into office as family, friends and the nation looked on.
40 years ago today, Ambassador Andrew Young took that same oath and with it, made history. Young was the first African-American politician from Georgia elected to Congress since Reconstruction.
And what a difference 40 years makes.
"Congress, in those days, was a fun place. Everybody spoke to everybody," Young remembered. "We worked out in the gym together. We went to bible study and prayer breakfast together on Wednesday morning."
"Nobody cared about Democrat or Republican, liberal or conservative. We liked each other and we respected each other."
Young said it was a different time; lawmakers had a common understanding of the problems they were facing.
"I would say almost 90 percent of them had served in the military and had served overseas," he said. "So they had a sense of what was going on in the world."
"Now, I think you've got a lot of people who are very local. They know their local needs. But the conflict in today's world is while all politics is local, all economics is global."
Interestingly, Young never actually planned to run for congress.
"I did it because no one else would," he said.
After several other members of his circle declined, it was actually Harry Belafonte who convinced Young to throw his hat in the ring. The two were meeting about voter registration efforts when the conversation turned to politics. Belafonte called his wife.
"'We have to have a fundraiser'," Young recalled Belafonte telling his wife. "And when she said 'what for,' he said 'Andy's running for Congress.'"
"Everybody seemed to think it was a pretty good idea but me," Young said.
But he didn't take long to get on board with the idea. Looking back, Young calls his years in Congress a very good time in his life.
"Dr. King had been assassinated for about four years, and those were the most difficult years of my life; making the transition from the civil rights movement to what's next," he said.
"When I got to Congress, everything fell together."
Today, Congress continues to face public disapproval, a feeling only intensified by the recent fiscal cliff battle. The 112th Congress has the distinction of being the most unproductive Congress since the 1940s.
So what can be done to fix it?
"It's simply talking in a casual situation and making public your agenda," Young said.
"If you keep our politics, our religion, our economics and our civility - the things that have kept us going in order - there's no problem we can't solve."

ELLICOTT CITY, Md. (WUSA) - Two suspects in a recent series of daytime burglaries have been arrested, according to Howard County Police.
Joseph Leo Baumgarten, 40, of 8435 Kenton Road in Pasadena, and Dianna Marketti, 30, of 415 Brooks Court, Glen Burnie, were charged Friday morning with committing four burglaries in which doors were being kicked in for entry.
Police believe the two may have been involved in as many as 10 additional cases and are continuing to investigate.
Baumgarten and Marketti were charged in a Sept. 12 case, in which a house in Woodbine was burglarized when someone had kicked open the front door. The residents reported that jewelry and multiple guns were stolen.
The two have also been charged in a Sept. 24 case in Ellicott City, in which the front door was kicked in and Ravens football tickets were stolen. In another instance later that same day, the two are charged with kicking in the front door of a Columbia home and stealing jewelry and cash. A neighbor in the Columbia case reported seeing a dark-colored PT Cruiser in the victim's driveway.
The two suspects also face charges in a Sept. 26 burglary in Ellicott City, another instance in which the front door was kicked in and cash and a video camera were stolen. A neighbor of the victim reported seeing a dark blue PT Cruiser parked in the victim's driveway.
Police, granted access to the Ravens game on Sept. 27, the date on the stolen tickets, interviewed the people in the seats, one of whom owns a sports memorabilia shop. He reported that a woman had come into his store Sept. 24 to sell the tickets, and had a record of the woman's name, listed as Dianna Marketti.
Police confirmed that Baumgarten had recently sold stolen property to pawn shops. The two suspects face four counts each of 1st-, 3rd-, and 4th-degree burglary; theft; and malicious destruction of property. They may face additional charges as the investigation progresses.

Behind the native champion, 22-year old Sylvain Duclos of Sameon, France maximized his frist-ever trip to Mt. Baker for a silver duct-tape trophy. Oregonians Josh Dirksen and Rob Morrow rode to third and fourth finishes respectively, and the ever-smiling, ever metal-horns throwing Matt Goodwill from Everett, WA finished fifth.
Four-time champion and three-time consecutive champion Terje Haakonsen finished a suprise seventh, behind fellow Norwegian Arild Brun-Kjeldas. With a final chance to continue the streak, Haakon approached the last big bank turn in the lower "Toliet Bowl" zone of the course slightly high and outside. And although the disturbance was minimal, it was enough to put him a second-and-a-half behind Temple Cummins, and the victory.
In the Women's Pro class, Vail's Barrett Christy beat out Victoria Jealouse by a full second for the win, and Seattle Snowboard Connection shop rider Marni Yamada maintained her weekend-long composure to take third among the name-brand pro girls.
Basically, Temple and his girlfriend won, the cops have gone back to busting college kids, it's finally snowing like hell, and we're all drinking beers.
Final dispatch analysis and postlogue in the morning, like brunch-time.

By Bryce Miller, Des Moines Register
Track star Lolo Jones says she was a "professional shoplifter" by sixth grade as her family faced financial hurdles while she was growing up in Des Moines.
Today the 2008 Olympian is talking about struggles during her childhood and a different challenge she's faced as an adult - choosing to remain a virgin until marriage.
Jones, who competes in the women's 100-meter hurdles, described living in the basement of a Salvation Army during the ESPN documentary about her life that was broadcast Monday night.
"I definitely would say, by sixth grade, I was a professional shoplifter - and not because I wanted to. I'm not going out to shoplift earrings or clothes or shoes like the average teenager.
"I was shoplifting frozen dinners at a grocery store. I could shoplift four frozen dinners, easily."
Jones said living in the Salvation Army caused her embarrassment and her family's use of food stamps for staples such as cheese and beans created anxiety that a friend would discover her as they shopped. Challenging moments like those, Jones contended, also shaped an almost unequaled will to succeed - no matter the odds.
Jones led the gold-medal final of the women's hurdles at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing before hitting the second-to-last hurdle and finishing seventh. Fans gravitated toward her after the setback, with scores citing her positive reaction to a devastating moment.
In late June, Jones will make a bid to return to the Olympics during the trials in Eugene, Ore. Qualifiers will compete in London this summer.
On Monday night, HBO's "Real Sports" outlines Jones' world on and off the track, including her struggles to remain a virgin.
A clip of the HBO piece was posted on the show's website Monday. The 29-year-old Jones discussed her dating challenges.
"It's just something, a gift that I want to give to my husband," Jones said. "But please, understand, this journey has been hard.
"If there's virgins out there, I'm going to let them know, it's the hardest thing I've ever done in my life - harder than training for the Olympics, harder than graduating from college, has been to stay a virgin before marriage."
Jones explained that she's dabbled in a range of online dating services and specifically uses social media tool Twitter in an effort to find a prospective boyfriend.
It was on Twitter earlier this year that Jones announced to her thousands of followers that she's a virgin.
"I've been tempted," Jones said in the HBO piece. "I've had guys tell me, 'You know, if you have sex, it will help you run faster.' "
The Register's 2008 coverage of Jones highlighted her resilience to do anything necessary to train and chase her Olympic dream after a star-studded career at LSU- working jobs in the garden section of a Home Depot and shifts as a restaurant hostess.
ESPN walked through those elements of her character-building journey toward world-class competition, as well, while adding a comprehensive account of a risky surgical procedure on her spinal cord in August 2011 that could have ended her career - and robbed her ability to walk.
Jones said the reaction and support from followers after the 2008 Olympic final - and the impact on the lives of others - fueled her drive to compete at this summer's Olympics.
"That, honestly, is worth more to me than a gold medal," Jones said.

Adorable and Roomy
Online depiction accurate. The look of the bag is as expected. Canvas is substantial and holds up the die cut HK head shape during use. Love the natural canvas color. Interior pocket could be deeper. Minus one star for the velcro closure. Would have loved it if it had a hidden magnetic closure instead. Web strap is cheap-looking.
Tote Bag
The tote is beautiful!! Roomy and so well made! I love it!
