Great Product. Terrible packaging.
By darlene
from san antonio
I just recently changed over to this product from an only natural brand. I like the combination of ingredients for my older dogs. The first time I purchased this one, a lot of the pills were broken on arrival. This time almost the entire bottle is pulverized. I can't use them. Can't measure the dust. Very disappointing.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Excellent Product
By Babs
from Pittsburgh PA
Began using this product 5 1/2 years ago when I discovered at age 4 that my Labrador retriever had arthritis. Gave an increased dose at the beginning as indicated and then was able to reduce the dosage as I saw improvement. She currently takes 1 1/2 tablets twice a day. It has definitely helped her,
Great product!

I got the Joint Support Plus for my 14 year old dog who had a joint injury (ruptured CCL). Joint Support Plus definitely made a difference and helped my dog to recover. I just break the tablet on smaller pieces and mix it with food. My dog does not seem to mind the taste and so far no apparent side effects.

This works!
By Jazzy's Mom
from Strongsville, OH
My dog Jazz loves these chewable tablets and it has made a big difference in her mobility. She is a 10-year old toy poodle, and she was having lots of joint stiffness, limping, etc. - our walks around the neighborhood were short and slow. Now we are going on much longer walks twice a day, and she's actually trotting! She still has some stiffness once in awhile (don't we all), but no more limping. This is a great product and I highly recommend it.

This product is fabulous
By Finn

About Me New Pet Owner
My larger 5yr old golden/collie mix starting limping badly every time we took him for a long walk. The vet wanted to put him on an anti-inflammatory but I decided to try a more natural remedy first. So after checking various products decided to give this a try. Literally after7-10days, his aches and pains are gone and haven't returned! I have just reordered on auto delivery. Don't want to be without this now.

Joint Support Plus Better Than Rimadyl
By Ellen
from Tyler, TX
My 15 yr. old shih-tzu has degenerative spine disease and was in a lot of pain. The vet put her on rimadyl, but it gave her bloody poop. I switched to Genesis Resources Joint Pain Plus and she gets around a lot better and isn't in pain. Her poop returned to normal also. I'm very impressed with the results of this product and will use it for pain in my other dogs when needed.
My guys wouldn't be without this!
By Casey the sheep herder

I use this to keep their joints in good shape. They take it twice daily as a preventive. Active Border Collies with Frisbee and sheep herding. Have not seen any other product as effective. Wouldn't be without it!

Made a new man out of my dog
By HeartSong
from St. Louis, MO
I fed my dog twice a day and, with each feeding, I pulverized one tablet and mixed with the food (although, he would have eaten it just fine out of my hand). My dog was 9 years old when he developed arthritis. Giving him Joint Support Plus eliminated the problem and with no undesirable side effects. He recentlyl died at the ripe old age of 19! Bless his heart! Certainly, his longevity was due in part to my giving him other natural supplements and also home cooked food. However, the Joint Support Plus helped tremendously.

MASSILLON - The dream lives.
St. Clairsville's storybook season will continue next Friday as the Red Devils return to Stark County to play for the Ohio Division IV state championship.
A week after knocking off defending regional champion Johnstown-Monroe, the Red Devils moved up the ladder this week and dethroned defending state champion Creston Norwayne 40-27 in front of a large turnout at blustery Paul Brown Tiger Stadium on Friday night.
Article Photos
St. Clairsville receiver Dan Monteroso looks to break away from a Norwayne tackler Friday night at Paul Brown Tiger Stadium.
"We had kids make play after play tonight on both sides of the ball," St. Clairsville coach Brett McLean. "This is just special!"
While reaching the final game in the state is exciting, don't think for a minute that McLean and his Red Devils are about to rest on their laurels.
"There are so many words I could say about this, but the mission isn't complete," McLean said. "We've said this in our locker room, early in the year, that we planned on being in (this season) until the end and we've got one more to go."
Next up is a 3 p.m. date with Clinton Massie, which like St. C., is making its first appearance in an OHSAA state championship Game. Massie, which has set an OHSAA record for points scored this season, took out top-ranked Columbus Bishop Hartley, 45-21.
"We're going to go to work on the bus ride home," McLean smiled. "This is just great for our kids, the school, the town and this is going to be an awesome week. Cincinnati (area) is pretty darn good football, so we can't pop off about anything. We have to get back to work."
Norwayne, which defeated Kenton on this same turf last December to win its first state championship, had no answer for the Red Devils' passing game that saw senior quarterback Matt Kinnick complete 17 of 29 passes for an astounding 430 yards.
More specifically, it had no answer for senior Dan Monteroso, who proved that big-time player make big-time plays in big-time games.
"How about Dan Monteroso?," McLean exclaimed. "He's done what everyone thought he could do out here on one of the biggest stages that he could be on."
Doing basically everything except selling popcorn and taking tickets, Monteroso saddled the Red Devils up on both sides of the ball.
"(Monteroso) is really good and he had a heckuva game," Norwayne coach Joe Harbour said. "He did a good job making plays, but they're good across the board. It's cliche, but big players make big plays in big games and (Monteroso) certainly did that."
His stat line read like this on the offensive side: 10 catches, 264 yards, two touchdowns and for good measure, he delivered a devastating crack-back block that sprung senior Jerrid Marhekfa for a huge 76 yard touchdown, which put St. C. back on top after the Bobcats had tied the game at 27-27.
"The coaches called my number and I just stepped up and tried to make plays," Monteroso said in between posing for pictures with young Devisl fans. "I probably watched more film this past week than I've ever watched in my life."
Monteroso, who is heading to Boston College as a wide receiver, delivered arguably his finest performance of his career on the defensive side when he recorded two picks, a sack and five tackles.
"I made a couple of reads and just broke on the ball and made some plays," Monteroso said.
The Red Devils, who hadn't been at this point in the season since 1986, showed early they had come to Stark County meaning business. Taking advantage of a defensive pass interference, St. C. reeled off a 14-play, 64 yard drive that was capped by a 1-yard plunge by Kinnick.
"We didn't tense up coming up here," McLean said. "We talked all week that we had built this opportunity for ourselves. We looked at this as an opportunity and not an obstacle. We had to take advantage of it and these kids were determined."
The teams went back-and-forth from there until there was 8:14 to play in the half. Brady Berger ran the first Norwayne score in from a yard out and then Monteroso got loose on a 48-yard pitch and catch with Kinnick.
Hard-running senior Jon Zimmerly, who finished his brilliant prep career with 155 yards on 28 carries, plunged in from 2 yards out to tie the game at 14.
After a Red Devils' drive was stopped with three consecutive sacks, Norwayne marched right back down the field and took its first lead when Joe Dreher found Richie Smith on a 28-yard hookup.
However, the Red Devils were unfazed.
"I was excited with how we matched up against another part of the state," McLean said. "I have a ton of respect for the high school football played in the northern part of this state. I wanted to see us get on the field with a team from up here and we past the test."
Kinnick got the Red Devils back within one when he scored his second rushing touchdown of the night. Two huge completions to Monteroso of 14 and 33 yards set up the score.
"This is just an unbelievable feeling," Kinnick said. "Dan made so many plays tonight. Jerrid (Marhefka) was huge, too. And we can't forget about Jay Gossett. He made so many plays on both sides of the ball."
St. Clairsville's defense, which rose to the challenge each time it had to, forced another Norwayne punt. Taking over at their 29, the Red Devils went to work and marched to paydirt in eight plays and 71 yards when Kinnick found Monteroso for a 43-yard strike in which he slipped a couple of what-would-be-tacklers.
Junior kicker Zach Musilli's PAT was perfect and the Red Devils took a 27-21 lead into halftime.
After the teams traded possessions to open the third quarter, Norwayne knotted the game at 27 when Zimmerly went in from 14 yards out. The snap on the PAT was botched.
"They outperformed us across the board, whether it was a fumble, a blown opportunity in the red zone, a chance to make a play on the ball," Harbour said. "They just did a great job of seizing opportunities and we didn't. We played with great, great effort and passion, just not great execution."
For the second straight week, when things got tight, Kinnick and the Red Devils called on Marhefka, the slick senior receiver. He took a slant route 73 yards basically untouched to the house. Musilli's PAT made it 34-27.
"This is an unbelievable feeling," Marhefka said. "We made plays when we had to. Dan, though, deserves to be the MVP of this game. He really came through on both sides of the ball."
One of those two aforementioned Monteroso picks came on the ensuing possession at the 2 yard line, but St. C.'s defense had to step up again as a Red Devils' attempt at a field goal was blocked.
The defense held on a fourth-and-long and St. C. capped the scoring with Kinnick's third TD plunge from a yard out.
The Bobcats' defense bottled up junior jet Jaylon Brown for the most part. He ran for 81 yards on 26 carries.
Along with Monteroso, St. C. received exceptional defensive play from its linebacking corp of Michael Ferns, Luke Smith and Cole Stephen. Stephen, who returned to the lineup after missing the regional final, led the team with 10 tackles.
Along with those four, Marhefka was again solid against Norwayne's big-play targets. Jay Gossett, Corey Ernest and Colby Lindsay were also standouts against the Norwayne run.
"Our whole defense really played well," McLean said. "We held a team that averages 50-plus points to 27. That's just a credit to our kids and to our coaching staff."
The Red Devils allowed 411 yards defensively. But, they forced three turnovers.

Looks really interesting and look forward to some hands on reviews and some pic's. Perfect timing to shoot Orion now!
Posted 17 January 2013 - 05:04 PM
So, things I like. Fast and simple to set up. For example, it has a geared altitude hinge. Fasten this on to your tripod, set up the tripod legs, use the compass on top of the unit to get North, then use this geared knob to set your latitude scale. Then, with the very nice polar alignment scope installed in the receiving hole, look for Polaris and use the geared knob to center Polaris and use the tripod's knob for horizontal, azimuth adjustment. This makes polar alignment a breeze and that is one of the reasons I got this thing. I was pretty darned close in very short order. Lock it down then go to the next step, putting your camera on.
This too is pretty easy. I used a spare smaller Manfrotto ball head from my photo gear and screwed it onto the ST mounting ring. I use the Manfrotto quick release plates on my camera and ball heads so clicking in my Nikon D90 was easy to do. This does introduce some extra metal, i.e., the QR lever, which could get in the way so consider that for your own use.
But I got my D90 with grip mounted then was careful to tighten down the screws on the ST mounting ring. With a heavy camera, lens & battery grip, you want to make sure these are tightened down as much as possible. Some slippage occurred to me but I was in a hurry, like I said.
Once your camera is mounted, point it in the direction of your target(s). I had a lightweight 35mm f/1.8 Nikon prime on the D90. I first set my sights for the Andromeda Galaxy as Cassiopeia was high in the northwest. I was in my backyard, with streetlights around, neighborhood lights and the general glow of Fort Collins, CO, pretty much red zone.
I use an external intervalometer, set to shoot 12 sub frames, 60 second exposures. I wanted to see what it would do with 1 minute subs. I had to fiddle with ISO a bit and live view and focused the camera before locking it down, then turned manual focus on, with manual settings. I took the ISO down to 800 since it was really blowing out at 1600 with all my sky glow. As it was, my exposure histograms were pretty far to the right of the scale, but it was a work night and I was just testing things so I was not too concerned about the exposure. Mostly I just wanted to try it out and see if my stars were pinpoint or oblong.
The result of the Andromeda attempt can be found here:
I am very pleased with the unit. When it was time to go in for the evening, it was amazing how lightweight it all seemed compared to taking out my DSV-2 Alt Az mount on an Oberwerk tripod. I used a carbon fiber Manfrotto tripod which is, of course, super light and with just that and the Skytracker, it was just sooo light and easy to take back into the house.
So, its a keeper for my purposes. I'm a rank beginner at AP but love photography and take week and two week long motorcycle trips with my photo gear along, to get photos along the way of places I've always wanted to see. Now, I will take the Skytracker along with the D90, lenses and CF tripod to take advantage of the evenings as well as the days, to shoot photos and astro photos.
It seems to be a well built unit, comes with a nylon case. The polar alignment scope uses the concentric ring approach to place Polaris correctly in comparison to the celestial pole and it has a notch to allow a small red LED to light the markings in the PAS. Nice touch, clever design. I got the ST unit with PAS for $348 plus shipping. I think some dealers sell the unit with the PAS and have free shipping. So it is a much cheaper alternative to the Polarie or the Astrotrac, etc.
Hope this is helpful for you Skytracker researchers !!

Have to put this on my wish list for sure. Hope you do another shot of Orion next:)
Thanks for posting!
Posted 20 January 2013 - 09:53 PM
I agree w/ your assessment. Last night, I conducted a more severe test. I used a 200-mm Canon lens and my target was the region around Orion. The Orion area was selected because of its declination being near 0 deg. So, with a longer focal length and a target much lower than Andromeda, my test confirms your results. Please note that my exposure time was 30 sec. I shot subs for a total of 18 minutes.
I believe that I could have used a considerably longer exposure time, but I arbitrarily chose 30 sec. I'll continue to experiment.
I used a Gitzo mount, Manfrotto ball head. The camera w/ lens was almost 5#, well under the advertised weight limit of 6.6#.

Yes; I shot 18 30-sec subs and 6 darks. I did final processing in PhotoShop. The uncompressed image shows the Flame and Horsehead nebulae much better, but the compressed image shows nice round stars which was the point of the exercise.
I calculated that a 200-mm lens shooting at a dec = 0 could be used for 5 sec w/o excessive trailing. A 35-mm lens at dec = 40 could be used for about 37 sec w/o significant trailing. As mentioned previously, w/ good polar alignment, one could shoot longer subs at dec = 0 w/ the 200-mm lens. I am actually considering repeating the excercise using the Canon 2x teleconverter w/ the 200-mm lens to push the unit further.
Posted 23 January 2013 - 11:37 AM
Do you use the iPhone app for doing polar alignment with the included polar alignment scope? I need to update my iOS on my iPod touch to be able to use it.
Thanks again. Keep those images coming !
Posted 23 January 2013 - 06:16 PM
Thanks for the kind words. I did not use the iphone method described in the tracker manual. I use the so-called Kochab clock method to get close enough to the NCP. I really like the polar alignment scope. The beauty of the little tracker is the ease of use.
Your Nikon lens should be OK, but weigh it to be sure. My setup was slightly over 5#.

The Vixen polar scope has a much better design from what I can see. The Polarie is manufactured in Japan and I would imagine the design and QC are higher. We have no idea about components which can also add to the difference in price as well as each companies business model to make a product profitable. Takahashi and Celestron make GEMs. Should they be the same price?
I don`t know why your throwing Takahasi/Celestron in the mix. This discussion is about the iOptron Sky Tracker and my point was why the same product coming off the same production line costs $350 in the US and $550 in Europe.

It was a very foggy evening in the Netherlands, but Jupiter just peeked through the mist. The tiny black dot of Io's shadow was immediately visible. The moon itself became visible when it moved more to the limb of the planet (due to the edge darkening of Jupiter).
I made a small, quick sketch of the view through my 16" Dobson at 225x. I later enhanced the contrast and colorised it a bit with Photoshop, to match the actual view thhough the eyepiece as much as possible.
(It is one of my first sketches of Jupiter, so I sketched it a bit too small. Next time I'll try to sketch a bigger planet, maybe 4".)

A cochlear implant is an electronic device that is implanted during surgery. It helps provide hearing to people who have a certain type of hearing loss. This type of hearing loss is usually caused by damage or a defect in the inner ear. The implants can directly stimulate the auditory nerve to send information to the brain.
Cochlear implants have three parts:
Cochlear implants provide a heightened sense of sound for adults and children with profound hearing loss. They are designed for people whose hearing does not improve with surgical correction or the use of a hearing aid. Cochlear implants will not restore or create normal hearing.
If you are planning to have an implant, your doctor will review a list of possible complications, which may include:

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KTHV) -- When a foster child gets older, the hope of finding a forever family is bleak, but the 11-year old THV 11 met this week refuses to give up.
THV's Dawn Scott met up with 11-year old Emily, a girl wise beyond her years, at Little Rock's Animal Village to greet a pack of precious German Shepherd puppies which were recently rescued and up for adoption.
They bonded in a matter of minutes.
"They're playful," said Emily. "If they're having fun, I'm having fun. It makes me wanna take all of 'em home."
Emily's dream is to one day be a veterinarian and take care of the animals no one wants, and she knows all too well how that feels.
"Kinda lonely," she described. "Nobody sees you, but they hear you. I get tired of moving from one home to another home non-stop."
She loved the animals, read to them, and played with them. It's what kept her from dwelling on the fact that after so many years no one has taken her in.
"I got taken away since I was 3," Emily recalled. "And I'm 11, so about 8 years."
The puppies were a much needed distraction for her in such an overwhelming life.
"I go outside and play with my own dogs," she explained. "I go out and ride my bike, color a picture of good memories or do something fun."
And, she'll continue to do those fun things until the day finally comes when she finds her place to call home.
"It would feel good," Emily imagined."If anyone wants to adopt me, go right ahead 'cause I'm up for it. That's all."
Special thanks to Little Rock's Animal Village for allowing Emily such a personal visit. They sent her home with treats and toys for her own dogs.
If you'd like more information on Emily or any of the children in state foster care up for adoption click on the Arkansas Department of Human Services adoption website.
There are no costs associated with adopting a child in state care.

However, when I saw this Zimbra utility I thought it might be good for me to see my mail offline in case I am not online.
95% of my attachments are not needed so if I could specify not to download my attachments that would make things easier for me.

What kind of system works best for lightweight backcountry hunts?
What kind of system works best for lightweight backcountry hunts?
No idea if it is the best or not, but I use Pristine water drops.
Would have to agree with Duk Dog on the Pristine water drops. Another really light weight option is Pottable Aqua, they are an iodine tablet. Just keep in mind that niether option takes sediments out of the water. So if the area you are in only has standing water a lightweight pump filter is a good idea as well. I carry both an MSR Sweetwater filter, and Pottable Aqua. It is a touch extra weight, but I'd rather be safe than sorry.
Thanks for the info.
I use a MSR filter for some water and then put in the drops to purify it further. Where I am lots of the water is pretty full of dirt, moss, sticks, and other solid crap. The filter makes a big difference.
People in SUV's and suburbs will kill more game animals than a man with a bow, ever could.
If your into waiting on the tabs to work (read instructions, some take hours to kill stuff) and can stand the taste go with iodine tabs for "light weight". I personally carry a katadyn filter as the water is processed then and there, plus you can pull from some pretty nasty seeps and have a nice product to drink. I got a quickconnect to where I can fill the camelbak up without taking it out of the sleeve in the Eberlestock pack. This is one area I don't mind carrying extra weight in. I do carry tabs for emergencies, but this katadyn has been going strong for years. Good luck!
I do the exact same thing as Archer32 and have never had a problem with the katadyn, it is a great filter system and having the quick connect makes refilling my water bladder a breeze as you dont even need to take it out of your pack. Do remember to carry a backup but I have never had a problem with it.
Last year, I went out on a limb and bought the MSR Hyperflow. It uses glass tube technology to filter the water. From what I read this has been used in commercial treatment plants for quite a while and this is the first backpack implementation. It can be cleaned in the field by switching a couple of valves and backflushing. There is a concern with freezing - apparently if the thing freezes, the tubes can shatter, rendering it useless. Anytime I've been concerned about this, I make sure to pump it dry and keep it in my sleeping bag at night. I've had ZERO problems with this filter and really like it. It will fill a liter bottle in about 1/3 the time of any other filter out there (around 19 strokes of the pump). Weight is minimal, as is space required. I think the whole thing is under 9 oz and it is about as big as a hot dog bun. You'll never beat the weight of chemical treatment, but I find this filter is a good option. Small, lightweight and no nasty chemical taste. I'm very happy with it. It trimmed quite a bit of weight and space from my pack. Good luck!
i have the Katadyn and love it. with the amount of water that you drink when hiking miles every day, it is nice to have water that tastes good and doesn't have any floaties.
The best lightweight water treatment system that I have found is a product call Aquamira. It is a 2 part system that you mix together and kills everything in the water. It is a 2 part system of acid/base so it cancels each other out leaving no after taste. The only problem is that you are not filtering the water.

Sorting through bad times for good news
(Page 2 of 2)
The stock market is soaring, which may not be good news for everyone and may be a blip on the screen, but it's a profitable blip for many, and it's good for the economy. Home sales jumped higher this month than they've been since May 2010. Maybe this is, if not the beginning of the end of hard times, at least the end of the beginning.
Also, gliding from greed to grit, 11 more billionaires have pledged to give half their fortunes away during their lifetimes, a la Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg and Warren Buffett.
In the arts, some of the world's best writers have new books out this fall, including Michael Chabon, Naomi Wolf, Junot Diaz, Paul Auster and Salman Rushdie.
More good news: I read yesterday that a drug for newly diagnosed MS patients looks very promising and may help thousands who have the debilitating disease. Also, a California (of course) scientist has announced the discovery of a chemical in cannabis that seems to stop the growth of aggressive cancer cells. That sounds good to me, although they say you can't get the benefit from just smoking the stuff.
If you go to the "good news" websites, there are more stories than you can stand about dogs that travel 300 miles to find their owners, sharks that save humans, and one nifty story about deaf gerbils that regain their hearing with stem cell transplants. I wonder how the scientists can tell.
There was a pig that saved a goat from drowning and a mama lion that raised a puppy instead of noshing on him.
The good news is there. You just have to look for it amid the cacophony of bad tidings.
More happy news: It's autumn, and soon the leaves will perform their annual show for us. Just step outside your door these brilliant days and bask in the clarity of sun and sky. Leaves will soon be falling and the light will be fading, but we're enjoying a particularly splendid streak of autumn weather. We can push the world away and step outside to walk the streets of our neighborhoods, embracing the good news of these fine days while they last.

Lawrence, KS (Sports Network) - Jeff Withey recorded the second triple-double
in Kansas history and the No. 10 Jayhawks held off the San Jose State
Spartans, 70-57, at Allen Fieldhouse.
Withey totaled 16 points, 12 rebounds and a school-record 12 blocks for the
Jayhawks (5-1), who were coming off a CBE Hall of Fame Classic title. Travis
Releford, Elijah Johnson and Ben McLemore each netted 13 points in the win.
Kansas appeared to pull away with an 18-0 run in the early stages of the
second half, but made just two field goals in the final 11 1/2 minutes as the
Spartans inched closer.
James Kinney scored 17 of his 30 points during Kansas' drought to turn a 24-
point deficit into a single-digit affair, but it wasn't enough as San Jose
State (2-3) had a two-game winning streak snapped.

Texas Race Recap - Mears, GEICO Ford
Posted by: lori on Nov 05, 2013
Tagged in: Untagged
Fort Worth, TX (November 3, 2013) – Casey Mears and the Germain Racing team have been closing out the season on a strong note, scoring four top-25 finishes in their last six starts. Texas offered the GEICO team another opportunity to continue their run as the end of the season sits just around the bend. Historically, the team has struggled in the Lone Star State, but that served as little deterrence when practice got underway at the 1.5-mile speedway.
Mears was 27th in the opening practice session on Friday before later matching his effort in qualifying, where he would land 27th on Sunday's starting grid, just behind Clint Bowyer and Elliott Sadler. The picture of consistency, the first practice on Saturday also saw Mears and his #13 GEICO Ford Fusion 27th on the speed charts. The Germain team hustled, made changes and crunched numbers before sending Mears out for the final practice where he ultimately rested in the 17th position when the session closed. Ten spots to the good, the GEICO team was hopeful when raceday arrived.
Bright sunshine and reasonable temperatures kicked off Sunday at Texas Motor Speedway, where Mears and his #13 GEICO Ford Fusion rolled off the starting grid from the 27th position. 501-miles of racing awaited the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series field. Mears had no sooner approached the top 25 on lap 15 before the event's first caution flag was displayed for debris. It was a welcomed break, given that he had been in debate with the handling of the car since the waving of the green flag. Mears said to crew chief Bootie Barker: "It's a handful. As soon as I try to touch the gas, I'm sideways." Mears delivered his #13 GEICO Fusion to the attention of his pit crew who provided him with four fresh tires, a tank of fuel and much needed adjustments. He restarted 30th when the race went back to green on lap 18, but quickly jumped to 26th while making continued progress on the field.
Things appeared to go smoothly until lap 53 when Mears reported that his GEICO Ford had a bad vibration. Barker quickly ordered his driver to pit road under green to rectify the issue. Mears departed the pit stall with four new tires and fuel and left behind the nagging vibration, but was now one lap down to the field. Upon his return to the racing surface, Mears said, "The vibration is gone, but I don't think it was a tire issue; it felt more like a loose wheel." Mears would soon suffer an additional setback when the caution flag waved just one lap after he visited pit road, now sending him two laps down. Rather than pitting, Barker instructed Mears to stay out and take the wavearound, which would return him to being just one lap down. He restarted the race in 40th place on lap 64, but promptly found himself in the Lucky Dog position by lap 79.
While Mears continued to make his way through the field, lap 85 saw the skies suddenly darken while winds picked up and temperatures sharply declined.
Mears was on-track to record another solid finish before lap 175 heard him anxiously report to Barker, "The car feels sloppy and it won't turn in. It feels like the tires are flat." A lap later he communicated that the right rear tire was indeed flat and he expeditiously made his way to pit road before chancing a crash or damage to the racecar from an upset tire carcass. The GEICO crew replaced all four tires and sent him back out to do battle with a field that was now three laps ahead of him. Although his hopes for a strong finish were dashed, Mears and his crew went about their work in the same competitive fashion, allowing the GEICO driver to dash from 40th to 33rd by the time the checkered flag waved under the lights in Fort Worth, Texas. Their persistence and effort allowed the team to salvage an otherwise challenging day.
"Today was tough because we really wanted to get a good finish here in Texas; this place has always presented us with a challenge," Mears said. "We made good progress in final practice and thought we would be okay in the race, but that flat tire really set us back and we were never able to recover. I'm really proud of the guys on this GEICO team because we all kept working hard and we were able to make up some positions before the race was over. We're looking forward to getting to Phoenix because we were strong there in March and we feel like we'll have a good shot there again next week."
The Germain Racing team will now journey west to Phoenix for the second to last race of the 2013 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series season. In March, Mears and his GEICO team taught the Arizona track a lesson when they started 42nd and passed 28 cars en route to a 14th place finish.
Mears and the #13 GEICO Ford Fusion will hit the track at Phoenix International Raceway for the opening practice session on Friday, November 8th, at 1:35 PM (EST). Qualifying will follow at 5:40 PM (EST).
The Advocare 500 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race is on Sunday, November 10th, and it will be televised live on ESPN beginning at 3:00 PM (EST). The Motor Racing Network (MRN) will carry the live radio broadcast.

Bainbridge, GA- Bainbridge Public Safety are investigating a home invasion. They say before 2:00 p.m. Thursday, a home owner walked in on two intruders, both black males, wearing black clothing and carrying backpacks.
The suspects fled the area, but because there was a possibility that they were armed, Bainbridge Public Safety put nearby Potter Street Elementary School and Elcan-King Elementary on a Level 1 Lockdown.
BPS later arrested one of the suspects, 17-year-old James Christopher Harrell along Anderson Street. He is being charged with two counts of burglary.
Officials are still looking for a second suspect, 18-year-old Javaris Rogers.

RICHMOND - The goal is clear for Edison boys' basketball coach Nate Moses during his first season at the helm - ride his three seniors while his young talent gains experience.
''We are looking to our three seniors Alec (Jones), J.D. Howell, and Ryan (Kramarich) for leadership,'' Moses said. ''We will go as far as they take us.''
Jones and Howell are Moses' top returning players with Jones manning one of the guard spots and Howell filling the middle at center.
They are joined in the starting lineup by sophomore guard Erik Lee.
There are a pair of battles for the other two starting spots. Junior Dylan Jones is competing with sophomore Austin Horan to fill another guard spot. Kramarich is battling with sophomore Clay Woodward to start at forward.
''Some of our young guys will have to step up and contribute, including sophomores Erik Lee, Austin Horan, and Clay Woodward,'' Moses said.
Also in mix for playing time are sophomore Austin Hyndman and junior Storm Allese.
Though they are an inexperienced group, Moses believes his Wildcats can make up for that through their hardworking nature and a willingness to learn.
''Our kids are buying into what we are trying to do both offensively and defensively,'' Moses said. ''This is a whole new system we are running, and with change there are going to be bumps in the road, but we have to stay the course and continue to challenge these kids to get better.''
The Wildcats have been working hard every day in practice and are trying to keep one focus in order to become a better team at the end of the year than they are at the start.
''Our practices have been upbeat and intense,'' Moses said. ''Our focus every day is to be better than the day before.''

Living Inside of the Machine
We tend to think of buildings as simple boxes filled with stuff, stuff like furniture and houseplants and people. Filled with machines like computers, kitchen appliances, toilets, thermostats, and elevators. You can hear, even now, the hum of HVAC, the flick of light switches, and the turning of keys in locks all around you as these machines grind away for your comfort, bringing you the climate you want. The entire building that you are in is a life-support system, ticking along silently.
We All Got Wood and Nails, and We Sleep Inside of This Machine
There are some houses and buildings out there, though, that are mechanical and that go about their purposes with no regard to the people living within them. You go inside these buildings and huddle within their cogs and gears like a mouse hiding in a grandfather clock.
We Build a Clock
Some of these mechanical buildings come in the form of bell towers, which were one the earliest forms of public time keeping, rising high above the low houses around them so that their peals could travel far distances and call people to religious services, or send out civil alarms and defense alerts. The first driving mechanisms for these bells were people, pulling on ropes, but eventually the bells became automated, ringing steadily on their own. And although only a crazy person would want to live in a building that is essentially an echo chamber for a giant bell, people (especially clergy) still did.
The Clock Ticks Once
And people still do live in clock towers, which are the more advanced version of a bell tower - they are, in fact, bell towers with clock faces added on. The earliest of these is the Tower of the Winds, a horologion (which means timepiece) built in Athens, supposedly in 50 BC. Unlike a modern clock tower, which has a clock face with hands, the Tower of the Winds has eight sundials. In Devonshire, England, Peter's Tower is a clock tower built in 1885 and was previously used as a shelter for sailors during bad weather, and is now used to house guests in its four rooms alongside the clockwork.
The Clock Strikes the Time
That is not all that towers are used for--taking advantage of the free power source provided by gravity, lighthouses were driven by giant weights that fell, inch by inch, slowly down the central well of their towers, while the lighthouse keeper spiraled around them on his way up or down the stairs, to the different rooms of the lighthouse. The lighthouse at Pigeon Point, in San Mateo County, was one of these types of lighthouses, its 8,000 pound glass artichoke of a lantern spinning around as the weight descended down the length of the tower.
Obtain exhaustive knowledge of lighthouses by reviewing The Lighthouse Encyclopedia : The Definitive Reference or just focus on one by reading The History Of Pigeon Point Lighthouse.
And a Brilliant Light Shines Forth
People also used to sleep in underground towers, in missile silos sunk into the Earth, at the bottom of which were tiny, cramped bunkrooms like the living quarters of an Apollo moon capsule. Like a revolver, the cylinders of these silos held towering rockets ready to six-shoot the moon or the USSR while tiny people skittered from bunkroom to bunkroom, never seeing the surface. Nowadays, even though the war machines kept in these silos are long obsolete, people live in the missile bases, turning them into modern homes below ground.
A Light So Bright You Can See Your Skeleton By It
Before there was electricity, there were still mechanical buildings. Windmills aren't just super-cool hipster-living apartments. They're machines that drive a millwheel or a pump, and back before the Industrial Age, they were used to process grain and pump water for irrigation, and even now they are still used to generate simple power for simple tasks.
And Your Skeleton Looks Like a Wooden Frame
One of the myths about the earliest computers is that the term "bug" for software errors came from actual insects getting trapped in the computer's guts and gumming up the works. The machine would jam when an organic being was introduced into its moving parts.
Unlike a mill, which is designed to take in organic material - grain or whatever - and pulp it up. The building machine turns and turns and gnashes the teeth of its gears, while organic you and organic I worm our ways deeper into its guts.

With all due respect...you have had a great season. However, you have not faced a team with Winona's size and strength combined with our shooting ability. I know you have a good team, but the matchups are terrible...we are too big for you, too strong for you. Vette will score 30. Too bad you have to play us in the first round of the elite eight...33-2 is still not a bad record though.

Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant and top lawmakers say they've set a conservative estimate of how much money the state can spend.
Bryant met Monday with the Joint Legislative Budget Committee. They agreed on a 1.1 percent increase in the revenue estimate for the current year, which ends June 30.
They also agreed on an additional 2.5 percent increase in the estimate for fiscal 2014, which begins July 1.
The estimates are based on Mississippi's slow economic growth.
This Wednesday, the governor releases his spending recommendations for education, health care and other state services for fiscal 2014. Legislators release their recommendations Dec. 11.
Both plans will be debated during the legislative session that starts Jan. 8.
The House and Senate face an April 1 deadline to adopt a final budget.

A local music teacher says Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy offered him a job and then rescinded the offer after asking him if he is gay. Jonathan Zeng says he went through the school's extensive interview process, was offered a position and then called back in for a discussion about religious questions in his application, during which he was asked directly if he is gay. Zeng says he asked why such information was pertinent, and an administrator said it was school policy not to employ teachers who are gay because they work with children and something about the sanctity of marriage. When contacted by local media CHCA released the following statement:
CHCA keeps confidential all matters discussed within a candidate's interview. We're looking into this matter, although the initial information we have seen contains inaccuracies. We will not be discussing individual hiring decisions or interviews.Cincinnati's deficit isn't going to get better any time soon, according to a new report.
The Reds drafted high school pitcher Nick Travieso in the first round of the MLB draft on Monday. Here's a rundown of their other picks Monday and Tuesday.
Senate Republicans yesterday blocked a Democratic bill calling for equal pay in the workplace, and the Dems are going to stick it in their faces during this year's campaigns. From the AP:
As expected, the pay equity bill failed along party lines, 52-47, short of the required 60-vote threshold. But for majority Democrats, passage wasn't the only point. The debate itself was aimed at putting Republicans on the defensive on yet another women's issue, this one overtly economic after a government report showing slower-than-expected job growth.
"It is incredibly disappointing that in this make-or-break moment for the middle class, Senate Republicans put partisan politics ahead of American women and their families," Obama said in a statement after the vote.
"Even Mitt Romney has refused to publicly oppose this legislation," added Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. "He should show some leadership."
The Washington Post wonders whether Mitt Romney can use Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker's template for surviving a recall election to try to win the presidency. It involves "big money, powerful organization and enormous enthusiasm among his base." Exit polls in the state suggest Obama is ahead, however.

Cincinnati City Council took the first step Tuesday in repealing the city's ban on owning Pit Bull terriers. Council's Livable Communities Committee voted 5-1 to support repeal, saying it was unfair to single out a specific breed for harsher treatment. Experts have said Pit Bulls aren't inherently vicious, and that their treatment and training by their owners is responsible for any bad behavior. Councilman Cecil Thomas opposed the repeal, stating he was concerned about "enforcement issues." The full City Council could make a final decision as soon as this afternoon. CityBeat examined the ban in-depth here.
Police Chief James Craig met Tuesday morning with 19 ministers and community leaders in an Avondale church. Craig wants to create a partnership with clergy to combat youth violence and shootings. It was the second such session that Craig has held this month. Since police presence was increased in Avondale April 2, no more shootings have occurred in the neighborhood.
A Cincinnati police officer was hospitalized after being hurt for the second time on the job. Officer Jerry Enneking has survived four car crashes while on-duty.

Tim Tebow, the prayerful quarterback for the New York Jets, will be in town today for two events at Cincinnati Christian University in Price Hill.

In news elsewhere, an ex-drilling engineer for BP Oil has been arrested on charges of intentionally destroying text messages sought by federal authorities as evidence in the wake of the April 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill disaster. The charges of obstruction of justice filed against Kurt Mix, in the Eastern District of Louisiana, are the first criminal charges connected to the oil spill. If found guilty, Mix could face up to 20 years in prison and up to $250,000 in fines for each count.
As expected, Willard Mitt Romney swept the five Republican presidential primaries held Tuesday. The former Massachusetts governor got 67.4 percent of the vote in Connecticut, 56.5 percent in Delaware, 62.4 percent in New York, 58 percent in Pennsylvania, and 63.2 percent in Rhode Island. Most of the other GOP contenders have conceded the nomination race to Romney.
During the presidency of George W. Bush, the United States had the worst job creation record in decades, suffered the worst recession since the Great Depression and borrowed billions of dollars from China to support two wars. If you've been wondering how Romney or other Republican politicians running for office would do anything differently, wonder no more. Alexandra Franceschi, a spokeswoman for the Republican National Committee, said in an interview last week that the GOP's economic platform will be the same as that under Bush, just "updated." There, voters: You have been warned.
A Brooklyn district attorney is resisting a public records request to divulge the names of 85 Orthodox Jews arrested on sex charges there during the past three years. Brooklyn District Attorney Charles Hynes says the "tight-knit" nature of the Orthodox community makes it impossible to disclose the identities of abuse suspects without also identifying their victims. A Jewish newspaper might file a legal challenge to the decision.
Despite numerous cuts to government spending in the name of austerity — or perhaps because of it, if you listen to some economists — the United Kingdom has now officially sunk into a double-dip recession, its first since the 1970s. Economic indicators reveal the U.K. economy has performed even more weakly since the current financial crisis began than in the Great Depression.
There are protesters who have been standing outside of a pediatrician's office almost daily since at least the summer. Why? Someone else in that same tiny complex is offering abortions. A woman who has taken her special needs daughter to that pediatrician's office for more than 20 years was recently told by her minister's wife that she needed to switch pediatricians. Abortion is "murder," of course, so going anywhere near the "scene of the crime" must make her a co-conspirator.
On the opposite side of town is a Catholic organization made up of young people who were praying the rosary daily in hopes of a veto on the law that required Catholic employers to provide health care that included birth control coverage. Furthering their attack on small families are two Republican candidates for president. Rick Santorum and Mitt Romney seem to want to reverse the bill that legalized the sale of contraception.
Yes, the Bible says "Be fruitful." The Bible also says to take care of children. Statistics from UNICEF report that in 2009 roughly 2.1 million children are currently orphaned in America. Who is taking care of them? Should anyone be so adamantly against birth control when they're also clearly unwilling to help take care of the result from a lack of birth control?
Before abortion was legalized, women were forced to take to back alleys in order to end unwanted pregnancies. Those terminations consisted of the use of things like scalding water or hangers. Many women contracted infections from those unsterile and unsafe methods. Too many women died from those infections. Why wasn't anyone looking out for them?
Many of the comments we've received at CityBeat in response to coverage of these issues have focused on the sinfulness of abortion and birth control (and, of course, homosexuality). Why are they overlooking all the other "sins" the bible suggests?
Click the jump for a list of all the crazy things the Old Testament says are also sins.
For the second time in three years, a Catholic priest has been pulled from parish duties from out of state and returned to Greater Cincinnati following allegations of sexual abuse.
The Rev. Robert F. Poandl was relieved of his ministry assignment as pastor of Glenmary missions in Georgia earlier this month and ordered to return to the Glenmary Home Missioners residence in Fairfield.
The action was taken after the Rev. Chet Artysiewicz, Glenmary president, was informed of an allegation of sexual misconduct involving a minor against Poandl. The abuse allegedly occurred about 30 years ago. Poandl, who is 70, has denied the allegation but isn't allowed to publicly function as a Catholic priest during the investigation process, Artysiewicz said.
Artysiewicz is Poandl's direct supervisor.
Police have been notified of the anonymous allegation, as have bishops in the dioceses affected by the investigation, including the Diocese of Savannah where Poandl was serving. The chairperson of the Glenmary Review Board was notified on Feb. 11, and an internal investigation was launched to determine the allegation's credibility.
"I am committed to maintaining accountability and transparency as this investigative process unfolds," Artysiewicz said in a prepared statement. "Father Poandl and I have both pledged our full cooperation in this investigation, and I will do whatever I can to meet the pastoral needs of all those involved."
In August 2010, just days before his trial on molestation charges in West Virginia was set to begin, all charges against Poandl were dropped. Poandl allegedly abused a boy on a trip there in 1991, when the complainant was just 10 years old. The case was dropped due to unspecified issues during the discovery process related to the boy's medical records.
The turn of events prompted the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests (SNAP) to write to 11 bishops in dioceses where Poandl worked, asking them to use their resources to contact others who might have been sexually abused by him, but only one in Texas replied.
Besides Cincinnati, Poandl worked in Kentucky (Franklin), Louisiana (New Orleans), Pennsylvania (Mifflintown and Doylesburg), Mississippi (Aberdeen), Oklahoma (Hugo), Texas (Pittsburgh and Mount Vernon), and most recently in Georgia (Claxton, Pembroke, Sandhill, Blairsville and Dahlonega).
He is originally from Metuchen, N.J., and studied in Ohio, Indiana and Mexico.
After the most recent allegation, SNAP has urged Artysiewicz to put Poandl in a secure treatment center away from children and pro-actively seek out others who may have seen, suspected or suffered from his alleged crimes.
In other news of possible priestly misconduct, jury selection continued today in a Philadelphia case involving two priests charged with rape and a monsignor charged with protecting them.
Monsignor William Lynn lost a bid to have his case thrown out based on new evidence found in a 10th-floor safe at the Archdiocese of Philadelphia. A memo turned over by the archdiocese this month states the late Cardinal Anthony Bevilacqua ordered his top aides to shred a list of 35 accused priests still in ministry in 1994 — a decade before the child abuse scandal became widely publicized.
Lynn said he prepared the list and gave it to Bevilacqua after he became secretary for clergy in 1992 and started reviewing secret archives of priest abuse complaints. The complaints were kept in a secure room, rigged with an alarm, at the archdiocese's downtown headquarters.
As Cincinnati Archbishop Dennis Schnurr and other Catholic officials speak out publicly against a new federal rule involving free birth control, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) defends the switch and says the criticism is misguided.
Last month the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announced that the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act — known informally as "ObamaCare" — would require nearly universal coverage of contraception.
A recent plodding column by The Enquirer's Krista Ramsey asked the red herring question in its headline, "So what if Tebow believes his audience is God?" Tebow, of course, refers to Tim Tebow, the quarterback for the Denver Broncos who has a tendency to dramatically kneel down on the gridiron, close his eyes and pray before games.
Tebow's showy, ultra-demonstrative displays have drawn some criticism. Although the player says he does it to honor God and get nonbelievers curious about his faith, many people counter the display is more about drawing attention to Tebow than to any divine entity or creed.

My 1st matthews bow wasn't the top/best they offered at the time, which left me wanting a better bow or the latest/greatest.
So when I was ready for a new bow I bought Matthews' latest and greatest, which was the Drenalin, a great bow, still a great bow, which is 5 years old now? and their newest bows don't leave me wanting one really, I honestly could hunt forever with this bow and never need another bow IMO.
I'm sure I'll own another matthews one day, in no way does one need the latest bow each season.. plus I'd rather know my bow for 5 years or so vs. having to learn a new bow every year.
I assume say the Helim is better than my Drenalin, but by how much? I haven't really heard of any major break throughs since my bow, so is the helim 5% better? it's not like the bow shoots twice as fast, twice as quiet, half the weight etc...
If/when there is a major break through I'll probably want a new bow, for honestly I could easily see using my current bow for another 5-10years.
I'd be more likely to buy a new quiver/accessories for my bow than a new bow at his point.
I like my setup for the most part, great bow, great arrows, great release, great sight.
So essentially I'd get the latest and greatest when I need something new, if not I'd save my money for something I need. Once you have a great setup why change it when the benefit is very little.
Also my local bowshop will honestly tell me if there is any difference from a bow to another..., they'll straight up say your 2003 bow is almost no different from the new 2004/2005 bow... down the road they may say oh this has improved...in 2010... so sure you can get a new bow and it'll be better, but not much... or, oh the game has changed, this new model blows everything out of the water.
Having an honest pro who's been around the block to tell you straight up what's going on, is quite a nice luxury IMO. Especially when they're not getting rich off their lil business and they know you have the cash to buy a new bow and they still tell you don't bother...

Questions and Answers
Sonia Aug 20, 2012
However, after a close friend of mine convinced me to try the YSL product I became to believe that with the right exfoliator nothing is impossible.
The YSL Top Secret Natural Action Exfoliator is an amazing product that does miracles. No wonder, it is called "Top Secret." On the market there is a Japanese brand of exclusive gold-based beauty products that offers similar exfoliator, but the price that company charges for their exfoliator is x3 times as much when compared to YSL.
The YSL exfoliator is gentle, has delicate scent and is perfect for very sensitive skin (like mine). In my case, this product works very well even near the eye area (though the instruction suggests omitting that specific place).
I use the YSL exfoliator depending on my needs - once or twice a week - either in the morning after washing off my night cream, or in the evening - after completely removing the make-up. In either case - the exfoliator works MIRACLES, making my face looks absolutely stunning.
However, I do not use the exfoliator to remove the make-up, or more often than twice a week. One day, I may decide to do so, but for now, I am very happy with the outcome and how this absolutely amazing product works for me, hence I will continue my current routine.
Overall: 5 out of 5 stars for the YSL Top Secret Natural Action Exfoliator. Please keep this product in your beauty basket. It's absolutely amazing and it WORKS miracles. It makes face stunningly beautiful. Mar 26, 2012

Because most people come to working with Drupal professionally through teaching themselves, everyone seems to have their own methodologies for building sites using the framework. I've advocated working live off of remote development servers for a long time which the belief that it prepares you early on for any hiccups that may arise relating to the nuances of your hosting environment, but then today rethought that approach. The problem was that Media Temple, who is generally pretty reliable, got very very slow with mysql access speeds and I began to get frustrated building out a client's site at tricycle speeds.
So, I rolled up my sleeves and prepped my trusty Macbook Pro to help me finish up development on this site. For this, I needed a Linux-Apache-Mysql-PHP stack installed (LAMP) and decided to use a software package called MAMP - which is very easy to install. After futzing with the php.ini file to get things up to my preference (upping the upload max file size restrictions etc...) I moved the site I'm working on off of our dev server by tarballing it and then using the WGET command in shell. Note: WGET apparently doesn't ship with macs so you'll need to install it - I found a package and instructions from statusq.org very helpful.
In just a few minutes (our internet connection is quite fast), I had untar-ed the package containing my site's files and database and repointed the settings.php file to the new localhost database location and was off to the races - I can't believe how fast work has gone this afternoon on this project... Up until you need to show a remote client or project partner your work, this approach is lightning quick and extremely fun :)
For more insight into setting up your own development environment I highly recommend peeping the article on drupal.org.

Hi to all.
First of all sorry for the long post, I have been reading the forums and the wiki but cant find answers regarding some things of our setup.
We are currently using a mail server based on SLES 11 with postfix as MTA, cyrus as IMAP server, LDAP (openldap) as authentication backend and also as addressbook repository. And want to evaluate if I can replace this with Zimbra Opensource.
Our users use egroupware as webmail and some prefer desktop application and uses thunderbird (they only access addressbook in query mode).
Our current architecture is like this:
Internal LAN:
Main Server (file server + ldap server + dns + dhcp + postfix + cyrus + spamassasin + clamAV + amavis) (SLES 11 sp1)
Hylafax + emailing server (hylafax + postfix ) email to fax+ print to email (SLES 11 sp1)
Firewall: (smoothwall)
external mail server and web server (apache + squid + postfix + spamassasin + clamAV + amavis) (opensuse 11.4)
Outgoing mail
internal users connect to main server and all outgoing mail is relayed to external mail server then to the internet.
they can print to email to our Hylafax server and this will be relayed also trough the external mail server.
they can also email to fax via our Main Server, this email with syntax like email@example.com will be relayed to our hylafax server, this process this emails with a fax service (in master.cf) and send the emaill and its attachementes as faxes to the destination
Incoming Mail
All incoming mail is received by external mail server that checks spam and viruses and check valid users vs the internal ldap and then relay the accepted mail to internal mail server that also check virus and spam and delivers to cyrus imap
What I want to know is if I can integrate Zimbra in this environment with a new server (or virtual server) and continue using SLES ldap as authentication backend and then migrate ldap addressbook to zimbra and cyrus mailboxes to zimbra.
Also I want to know if I can setup the zimbra server in parallel of the current server so I can test with a few users.
In fact I want to maintain (at least in the beginning) the external mail server intact as a postfix receiver and relaying all outgoing from Zimbra to this external mail server . Also I need to maintain the hylafax server working like this, so zimbra should be able to relay to use differentiated transports based on destination address (or to specify a transport for a specific host.domain)
I have an empty server with 2 GB Ram and 2 x 73 GB SAS HD, could this be enough for a test server? (we plan to install it on a SLES 11 + sp1)
currently we are about 30 users.
/var/lib/ldap is about 60 MB
/var/lib/imap is about 60 MB
/var/spool/imap is about 30 GB
thanks to all

House Clears School Plan
Overhaul measure now goes to Tomblin for his signature
March 23, 2013
CHARLESTON — The House of Delegates passed a comprehensive education reform bill Friday that would change how county school districts hire teachers, free up more days on their calendars to bolster......
Good start.
Hopefully some considerations towards holding parents more responsible for participation in their own child's education.

"Ferro said he vehemently opposed amendments proposed to the bill in the House, all of which were defeated. He described one proposed amendments as "a veiled attempt at merit pay" and another as "an attempt to start up charter schools" in the state."
Only 8 states don't allow charter schools. Guess where those 8 states rank as compared to the 42 that allow charter schools?

Education spending has skyrocketed by more than 400%, adjusted for inflation, since 1960. Does anyone really believe that today's graduates are 400% better than 1960 graduates, both in real terms and vs. the rest of the world?
Certainly, poor parenting plays a role in this. But the teachers' unions and arrogant school boards also share the blame.
More money is not the answer.
Liberals have wanted a Godless, soulless, immoral, selfish, high self-esteem society for decades. Now that they have gotten their way, they blame everyone but themselves.

Ferns is starting to show his true colors. W.V. should have merit pay and charter schools. I know it won't happen, but get rid of these useless d### teachers unions. I also noticed that the salery of Co.Supts. can be raised. WHY?? They don't do anything but pose for pictures, and hire more assistants.

text: By Shania MetcalfPCHS Journalism Student You may have recently seen a new face around the school or community. This girl is Anita Allgeier from Frankfurt, Germany. Anita's family at home in Germany is just like a regular family here. Her mother is a teacher at an elementary school, and her father is a banker. She has one older brother who is 19. He works at her dad's bank and is also planning on going to San Diego for college. The Allgeiers do not have any pets though, because they live in the city, and would not have time for them with their busy schedules. Anita lives with Chuck and Rochelle Humphrey and their family, just outside of Grant. "The Humphreys are very crazy, and it's never boring at their house," Anita comments. Along with living with Chuck and Rochelle, Anita lives with one "bigger" sister Matisyn, two younger sisters, Makenzi and Myranda, and one younger brother, Billy. "I've been really lucky to live with such a great family." she says. Anita is with Education First (EF) international exchange program. They have been very helpful and involved with Anita's experiences here. Anita had the choice of what country she wanted to travel to, but did not get to pick the state. When asked what her top three choices to travel to were, she said, "I think every exchange student wants to go to California, but I wasn't interested in living there for a year. I think it's more about the people and the family." Anita says that if she had the choice, she wouldn't want to go anywhere else. "I am very happy being here," she said. "The first few days were very hard because it was a big change with all the food, the time change, and the new town, but I'm used to everything now." Anita says that it is more easy-going here in America than it is in Germany. "In Germany, everything has to be perfect and organized," she said. She says she really likes the American lifestyle more than the one she had in Germany and it's more about having fun and just having a good time. Anita says she likes that [athletic] practices are after school, so she has some free time at night. In Germany, practice beings usually at 7 or 8 p.m. "I really enjoy hanging around with friends at night here, because in Frankfurt it's not that easy," she said. "You can't just go hang out outside because it's dangerous at night and parents don't want their kids to be outside. You need to be in a restaurant or something." She said that she loves American people because they're open-minded about new people and ask a lot of questions about her country. "People here really show interest in where I came from," she said. The German people are more reserved and it takes them more time to warm up to people. Although Anita loves it here, she said she misses her family, friends and teachers from Germany. She also misses the food and Oktoberfest! If you see Anita around the community or anywhere else, be sure to give her a warm welcome and don't be afraid to ask her about her country and heritage!

President Barack Obama has – yet again – referenced playing video games as a metaphor for underachievement.
[GP: click here for other recent examples, although Obama has made similar comments going back to at least 2006.]
In a speech in New York last night marking the 100th anniversary of the NAACP, Obama said:
We have to say to our children, Yes, if you're African American, the odds of growing up amid crime and gangs are higher. Yes, if you live in a poor neighborhood, you will face challenges that someone in a wealthy suburb does not. But that's not a reason to get bad grades, that's not a reason to cut class, that's not a reason to give up on your education and drop out of school. No one has written your destiny for you. Your destiny is in your hands – and don't you forget that.
To parents, we can't tell our kids to do well in school and fail to support them when they get home. For our kids to excel, we must accept our own responsibilities.
