Nurse Jackie Peyton is determined to be all things to all people. As an ER nurse, she navigates the rough waters of a crumbling healthcare system, doing everything she can to provide her patients with the best care possible. As a mother and friend, she's a rock. But after a year clean from her nasty little prescription pill habit, Jackie is secretly back on the drugs and back to her old tricks. Is sobriety the ultimate cover for a raging addiction, or will the people in her life catch on?
Edie Falco has broken many awards records. For her role as Jackie Peyton in Nurse Jackie, she has won the Emmy® for Best Actress in a Comedy, thus making her the only actress to have won an Emmy® in both the comedy and drama categories. This year, she broke the SAG record by earning her 20th nomination; 12 for individual achievement and 8 for her ensemble work.
Other credits include winner in AFI's Top Ten TV Programs of 2009, as well as a 2009 Golden Globe®. She became the only actress to ever receive the Emmy® Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Dramatic Series, the Golden Globe® Award for Best Performance by an Actress in a Dramatic Television Series, and the SAG Award for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Drama, all in the same year for her performance as Carmela Soprano in the groundbreaking series THE SOPRANOS' debut season. She has subsequently been nominated for each award for every eligible television season, winning two additional Emmy® Awards, another Golden Globe® Award and SAG Award, as well as the American Film Institute's Award for Female Television Actor of the Year.
She recently appeared off Broadway in THE MADRID, written by Nurse Jackie executive producer Liz Flahive. Prior to that, she appeared opposite Ben Stiller in HOUSE OF BLUE LEAVES in which she was nominated for the Tony Award for Best Actress.
When she received the Television Critics Association Award (TCA) for Individual Achievement in Drama, it was the first time in the history of the TCA that this Award was presented to a woman. She is also known to television audiences for her recurring roles in the dramatic series OZ and the acclaimed NBC series LAW & ORDER and HOMICIDE. Falco made her Broadway debut in the Tony® Award-winning play SIDEMAN, which she originated in its off-Broadway production. For her performance, she received a Theatre World Award and a Drama Desk Award nomination for Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role in a Play. She went on to make her London stage debut in the West End premiere of SIDEMAN, and thereafter opened the London production of the highly successful play THE VAGINA MONOLOGUES. When Falco starred opposite Stanley Tucci in the lauded revival of FRANKIE AND JOHNNY IN THE CLAIRE DE LUNE, the play broke four house box-office records at Broadway's Belasco Theatre, making it the most successful play on Broadway all season. More recently she appeared off-Broadway in the highly-acclaimed THIS WIDE NIGHT.
For the feature film COST OF LIVING, Falco received the American Film Institute's Best Actress Award. Her performance in the film LAWS OF GRAVITY earned her an Independent Spirit Award nomination for Best Female Lead Actor. Her other film credits include A PRICE ABOVE RUBIES, COPLAND, TROUBLE CORNER, PRIVATE PARTS, HURRICANE, LAYIN' LOW, BREATHING ROOM, THE FUNERAL, THE ADDICTION, BULLETS OVER BROADWAY, TRUST, THE UNBELIEVABLE TRUTH, RANDOM HEARTS, and the title character in the award-winning film JUDY BERLIN. For her performance in John Sayles' SUNSHINE STATE, Falco received the Los Angeles Film Critics Association and New York Film Critics Online Award for Best Supporting Actress. She also starred in the feature films THE QUIET, THE GREAT NEW WONDERFUL, and FREEDOMLAND.


text: Okay...I get you now. But do you think the players would blame the coach right off for a bad patch of 2 or 3 games? I think that might be a player-specific kind of thing. Like one sort of player might think "I'm only playing so badly now because the coach doesn't understand me...he's stifling what I want to do out there"...while another would say, "I'm not playing up to my potential so it's time to dig deep and work harder". Maybe THAT'S the difference between the leaders and the passengers on this team. I'm pretty sure that there are some guys on this team that are p!ssed off and want to turn things around while others are whining about how misunderstood they are.

ROME-- When Berry College's Eagle Cam went live on September 18th, hopes were high. The pair of bald eagles had already hatched two eggs in January 2013. After the wireless camera was installed, they seemed unfazed by the new attention.
"But they're wild animals, you never know," Chris Kozelle, Berry's Director of News and Editorial Services told 11Alive's Julie Wolfe.

Eagles often use the same nest year after year. Over time, the nests become enormous, weighing two tons. Since bald eagles remain with the same mate until one dies, officials at Berry College were hoping the wireless camera would capture a new generation of eagles.
While the rest of Metro Atlanta was recovering from harsh winter weather, the eagles welcomed two new eggs. They were laid January 14th and 16th. To the delight of those watching, the first of those eggs hatched Saturday, February 22nd. The second egg should hatch within days.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission asked the public to comment on ATV safety following its ATV Safety Summit held Oct. 11-12 in Bethesda, Md., and opponents of ATVs responded in force.
Most of the more than 40 comments received by the federal agency were from people and organizations demanding that children be banned from operating ATVs and drastic measures be taken to make ATVs safer.
What kind of measures?
They want mandatory roll cages, speed limiters, inter-lock systems so that an ATV can't be started if a person had consumed alcohol and a ban on aftermarket accessories such as rear rack bags.
They also want ATVs to have smaller seats.
"We reaffirm our longstanding recommendation that no child under the age of 16 should operate or ride an ATV," said a letter signed by 18 doctors and others, including the Consumer Federation of America, Concerned Families for ATV Safety, and ATV Throttle Guard.
The letter also said the federal government should require "engineering solutions to decrease ATV deaths and injuries."
Those engineering solutions, the letter said, "should include: seat design that prohibits multiple riders and makes age-inappropriate use less likely; ban of aftermarket devices such as 'storage boxes' which also facilitate carrying of passengers; design changes to reduce over-steering and under-steering and the related risk of rollover; increased stability and changes to center of gravity to limit the risk of rollover and flipping, [and] rider protective devices…"
They also want "installation of alcohol ignition interlocks, and identifying safe speed limits for adult and youth ATVs" that would be set at the factory.
In separate comments, the Consumer Federation of America said it wants the federal agency to ban ATVs sized for children under the age of 12, and wants short seats on ATVs.
"All ATVs should be equipped with seat belts and standards should create a minimum standard for seat belt integrity," the Consumer Federation of America added.
"ATVs should be equipped with a roll cage to prevent the driver from being crushed by the weight of the vehicle in the event of a rollover," the federation said.

The Good Life
This high-tech retirement home has a bit of everything--even automated door locks.
You don't normally think of homes in active adult communities as being decked out with the latest technologies, but Phil Mogerman wouldn't have his Delaware retirement haven any other way.
As a veteran of the telecom networking industry, Mogerman had a clear idea of what he wanted in a connected home system. "It had to be cutting-edge, expandable and easy for him and his wife to use on a daily basis," says Sean Quigley, owner/partner of custom electronics firm Phoenix A/V Specialists in the Philadelphia suburb of West Grove, Pa.
Phil and Sylvia Mogerman's high-tech retirement nest now consists of a whole-house control and entertainment system, with high-definition video distribution to two zones, audio streaming to seven zones, and a choice of several different control options to operate lights, thermostats, IP cameras, door locks, security system, fireplace, garage doors and more.
"I wanted to take advantage of technology that we couldn't do in our old house," Phil says. And it didn't hurt that Sylvia gave him free reign, as long as there were no exposed wires or cable boxes. It just had to look pretty.
A Control4 home control system lies at the heart of the Mogermans' life of ease. To operate any of the home's systems, the couple has the option of using Control4 handheld remotes, any of six in-wall Control4 touchpanels, Phil's four computers, an iPad or Phil's Android-based phone. Despite all of the choices, the iPad has become the preferred method of control, according to Quigley.
Working Well with Others
Security installation company Guardian had an exclusive agreement with the builder to wire the data and speaker lines in the home of Phil and Sylvia Mogerman. So Sean Quigley and Nate Geller of Phoenix A/V Specialists in West Grove, Pa., worked closely with John Stringham from Guardian to ensure that the wiring he put in would also support the Control4 home control system they planned to install. They also needed to make sure that the security system Guardian planned to put in would work nicely with the Control4 system. Unfortunately, it wouldn't. The solution was simple: Stringham switched to a GE Concord system, a product designed to interface seamlessly with Control4 systems.
There's also some pretty neat automation going on. Quigley, his partner Nathan Geller and the team at Phoenix A/V Specialists set up the Mogermans with a dozen presets and timers just for the lighting. Every evening the kitchen lights turn on first, then an hour after sunset the great room lights turn on, then turn off an hour later. When the homeowners pause a movie from their 400-disc Blu-ray changer, a light above the center island that separates the family room from the kitchen illuminates slightly to provide some extra light for moving around. As Phil explains, if he and Sylvia are sitting in the great room and the lights come on when they don't want them to, they can simply override the system via any of their controllers. Some of the controllers—namely the infinity-edge touchpanels—provide an extra level of convenience by also functioning as intercoms. If Phil is on the third floor and Sylvia on the first, she doesn't have to use the multiline phone system to call him; she simply speaks into a nearby touchpanel.
Because he's tech savvy, Mogerman does some programming of the Control4 system on his own, with the understanding that he won't get too dangerous in programming the software, something typically reserved for Quigley and Geller. He has been able to tweak some of his lighting scenes with it, and he can use it to help Phoenix identify any problems.
In addition to these conveniences, the Mogermans' control system also helps protect the home. Garage doors close automatically after five minutes, and three ZigBee-enabled Kwikset door locks button up the place at 10:30 p.m. Video from web cams at the front and back doors appear on the iPad, and the Mogermans can remotely pan and tilt the cameras to see what's going on outside of their home. If water in a sump pump reservoir fills past a certain point, a warning message appears on the screens of the control devices. Water and temperature sensors throughout the home can trigger alerts to be sent to the touchpanels and Android-based phone. The system will also send alerts if the security system detects a problem.

HD Video Routing
There are two video zones, with two more to come, and seven audio zones in this home. Honoring Sylvia's request of keeping her house "pretty," Phoenix A/V tucked all of the audio and video components into an equipment rack in an upstairs closet. HD-quality video from these components is transported to audio and video zones, courtesy of Just Add Power's 2G (second generation) System. Capable of handling 12 HDMI inputs and 12 outputs, and of transmitting high-def audio and video over high-speed Category 5e Ethernet cables, the Just Add Power 2G device is "much more scalable than an HDMI matrix switch," says Quigley, "and the video is really, really good."
Today, the Just Add Power 2G System distributes HD video from the Sony Blu-ray changer, a single-disc Samsung Blu-ray player and two Verizon FiOS HD DVRs to the family's TVs. The Mogermans can also get video from Netflix or Vudu via a Blu-ray player. However, with several inputs and outputs left over, adding new components to the system will be a cinch, says Mogerman. New entertainment zones can be easily added, too, as the Mogermans prewired heavily for the future. In all, 75 high-speed Category 5 Ethernet cables were routed throughout the house, including six Cat5s to the great room, master bedroom, guest room, Sylvia's office and Phil's office.
Savings and Convenience
Next up: An energy management system. Mogerman runs a couple of computers 24/7 and has a 4-terabyte Windows home server—and he'd like to see how much energy he's using and how he can save. He also wants to use his Control4 system to automate the lawn sprinklers.
But one of the best parts of the Mogermans' new high-tech lifestyle? "On a cold night I don't have to get out of bed to raise the heat. I can do that right from my bed and raise it a degree or two and go to sleep," Phil says. "Or, if our dogs are home alone and it's hot out, I can cool the house down right from my Android phone." EH

Saturday morning, nine teams and their friends and family came together for a good cause at the third annual Walk MS Louisville Kick Off Party, held this year at Drinkswell at 1201 Story Ave., which is also the location of the Kentucky-Southeast Indiana chapter of the National MS Society. Each team competed for prizes by building their own donutopias from a combination of coffee stir sticks, sugar sprinkles, plastic utensils, and Krispy Kreme donuts, which were also served throughout the morning. WAVE-TV personality Dawn Gee emceed the event, which took place at the end of MS Awareness Week.
At around 10 a.m., the teams each grabbed their allotted two dozen of the famous fried donuts and other building supplies, and began work upon their creations within the 30-minute time limit. Amid the chaos, a team of judges – yours truly among them – worked through and around each table, judging each entrant's creation in categories such as "Tallest Creation," "Best Use of Branding," and "Most Creative." After the 30 minutes ran out, the judges held a confab to decide the winners in each category prior to joining everyone for a stack of pancakes, sausage, and either Tang or beer from Chris Cakes of Indiana. And of course, more donuts plus coffee and coupons provided by Heine Brothers' Coffee.
When the crowd settled, Gee read out the list of winners as determined by the judging committee, with prizes ranging from orange flowers in square vases, to cows from Chik-Fil-a. Cyclists from Bike MS also rode in for the kick off party to meet and greet with all in attendance.
The next Walk MS Louisville event will take place at Papa John's Cardinal Stadium in mid-May. The Bike MS event will take place in late June as a two-day ride beginning and ending in Shelbyville. For more information on either event, please visit www.walkmsky.org and www.bikemsky.org, as well as the chapter's Facebook page.

|Dairy Month celebrated in June
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
June is Dairy Month, and while the benefits of including fruits and vegetables in diets are widely known, the medical benefits of dairy are often overlooked. The following are a handful of ways that dairy products—like low-fat milk, cottage cheese and yogurt—can make a nutritious and beneficial addition to one's diet.
—Dairy packs a protein- and calcium-laden punch. One cup of nonfat yogurt can provide as much as one-third of the daily recommended calcium intake and nearly 20 percent of the daily recommended protein intake. Though dairy products like ice cream don't pack the same nutritious punch as yogurt, healthier fare like reduced-fat cheese and skim milk can go a long way toward meeting one's daily intake of protein and calcium.
—Dairy is a great source of vitamin D. In addition to providing sufficient calcium and protein, dairy also helps men, women and children boost their vitamin D. That's especially important in the winter months when people tend to get less exposure to the sun. Exposure to the sun is a natural way to boost vitamin D, but the shorter days and colder weather of winter can make it hard to get sufficient vitamin D during that time of year.
Dairy products like low-fat milk can boost vitamin D, which can improve bone health and, according to recent research, might help reduce cancer risk.
—Dairy may help lower blood pressure. Men and women with high blood pressure might benefit from including more dairy in their diets. In a study of 5,000 adults, Spanish researchers found that those who reported consuming the most low-fat dairy products were more than 50 percent less likely to develop high blood pressure than those who consumed less low-fat dairy.
Though researchers are not certain as to the reason behind low-fat dairy products' impact on blood pressure, some theorize that their calcium and protein content are likely behind the benefit.
—Dairy benefits bones. Dairy has long been known to improve bone density. But it's not just seniors who benefit from the bone-strengthening impact of dairy. Youngsters who consume dairy can also expect an increase in bone mass, which can make them less susceptible to injuries like broken bones.
Seniors who consume dairy to improve their bone density should know that a recent study from researchers at the Institute for Aging Research found that not all dairy products are equal when it comes to improving bone density.
While milk and yogurt were linked to higher bone mineral density, dairy products like cream and ice cream contain less protein, calcium and vitamin D and more fat and sugar than yogurt and milk, and these products may actually be associated with lower bone mineral density.
Though there are many ways people can improve their overall health, it's important to consider the nutritional value of dairy when making any alterations to one's diet.

In MMOs the "big bad" is called a Boss Mob. Is that appropriate to use in table-top gaming, or is there some other equivalent term that's used?
In MMOs the "big bad" is called a Boss Mob. Is that appropriate to use in table-top gaming, or is there some other equivalent term that's used?
In the imageboard I use people refer to the Big Boss is BBEG (Literally Big Bad Evile Guy)
I use 'main villain', but MMO terms do get used in tabletop games - such as 'tank', etc. I don't really have fixed terms for specific persons and archetypes and never needed them. Use whatever name works best for you.
Gamer Printshop - We print RPG Maps for Game Masters!
Kaidan setting of Japanese Horror (PFRPG) Google+ community
Thanks very much guys.
I think I'll go with "BBEG". I Googled that and it seems to be the proper/official term for it.
Thanks again!
Nah, there's no such thing as "official."
"Big Bad" was, as far as I know, a term coined in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I don't know who appended "Evil Guy" to it, but I suspect it was to differentiate the initials from the hundreds of other things "BB" could mean.
The Big Bad isn't necessarily the biggest physical threat, though. A chessmaster-type villain like Lex Luthor isn't going to go toe-to-toe with the heroes because he doesn't stand a chance in that situation. In terms of the "boss fight" (to use the video game term) a mastermind's henchman is likely to be more relevant. I am likely to shorthand such a minion as a "sergeant" in my planning notes.
My players can call the opposition whatever they like, although if they fall into video game speak, they're likely to earn a malevolent frown from me. I prefer to discourage reframing my scenarios in video game terms because that tends to cause them to devolve into purely tactical problems instead of narratives.
In our games "Boss Mob" for an adventure/encounter, BBEG for the story-arcs main villain/s
Check out: My Mar 2014 Challenge Submission: The Ballad of the Bonny Bards' Booty
Check out: My Finished Maps
Formerly "Yospeck"
The creatures and monsters I want to note on my map are more of the adventure/encounter type rather than the main villains. So...I guess BBEG is not really appropriate then?
It looks like there's quite a bit of prejudice against MMO terms, so I'm hesitant to use "Boss Mob". What about "Boss Monster" instead? Or can you guys suggest something else?
Surely there must be some kind of standard/commonly-used term for this, that's specific to table-top gaming?
I don't really think there is a universal term. There are plenty of adventures where a certain NPC fits the role of the area boss especially in site-based adventures (adventures that take place almost wholly in a specific location such as a dungeon, ruin, village, etc). And even I informally refer to them as a boss sometimes.
But in an actual module (at least all the ones I have written or read/run) they tend to have extensive write-ups on their motivations and it's pretty clear they are the leader or most powerful NPC enemy present so you never really need them to be explicitly labeled as the "boss".
When I'm writing a scenario, the pivotal scene isn't usually based on the toughest opponent, but on the most important objective. That may or may not involve a tough bad guy, but if it does, I'm typically just as happy if my players find a way to go around it or otherwise achieve the objective while avoiding a risky "boss fight."
And of course, there's the problem that my players tend to very quickly neutralize the uber-tough opponents (usually several scenes before they were even supposed to have the fight) and then get their heads handed to them by what was supposed to be a chump. Powerful evil wizard? No problem. Pair of low level orc flunkies? Two dead PCs. (Made worse because that was only the second scenario of the campaign. I handwaved it to let the PCs survive with serious injuries instead of dying.)
The thing about tabletop games, though, is that every writer wants to be unique. It's a hobby filled full of people who see the way "everyone else" does it and then decide to go a totally different direction (with varying results). So outside of the more formal D&D School, I'd be rather surprised if gamers managed to agree on any particular designation for particular kinds of opponents.
And speaking of D&D, 4e's DM Guide did offer up a list of monster roles: Brute, Controller, Lurker, Soldier, Leader, Artillery, Skirmisher, Solo… There may be one or two others; I don't recall. The "Solo" monster is roughly equivalent to a boss in that it's supposed to be as tough as five ordinary monsters, but that's because it usually shows up alone and still needs to be threatening to a group of PCs. Those roles serve as a way of more easily discussing and planning encounters formally.
In your own planning, and even in communicating with your group, whatever parlance you find most comfortable and useful is the one you should use. It's true that many gamers frown on video game jargon entering tabletop gaming, but speaking solely for myself, I also cannot stand to see people use the word "toon" in reference to their character in EVE Online. It totally ruins my sense of immersion to have such metagame ideas intrude into my roleplaying. My viewpoint is my own, though, and you shouldn't let it ruin things for you. If you want to use terms like "mob" and "aggro" in your games, then do it! Don't let us sticks in the mud cramp your style!

Spring is in the air and times are a-changing. Especially for T: The New York Times Style Magazine's men's fashion director, Bruce Pask. The always stylish and effortlessly cool Pask just accepted the title of men's fashion director at Bergdorf Goodman.
Image via New York Magazine: The Cut
Considering Pask has been styling menswear for Bergdorf's for a couple of years now – notably in its spring 2012 men's lookbook – the move isn't that much of a shock. I have no doubt Pask, a street-style favorite, will take his new role in stride and create killer men's content for the mega store. My real concern is, who will fill his rather large shoes at T Magazine? We're taking bets in the office.

Trucking: Truckload spot market in July remains strong, says TransCore
August 16, 2011
Spot market truckload volumes in July were strong, representing the seventh straight month of record same month spot market freight availability and were up 22 percent on an annual basis, according to new data from TransCore.
This strong performance followed June, which saw the second highest monthly volumes in 2011, next to March, and are the two highest volumes in the 15 years TransCore has been tracking this data.
July volume was down 24 percent compared to June, and TransCore officials said that over the previous ten years July spot market load volumes have declined an average 19 percent on a sequential basis.
Shippers and carriers alike have told LM in recent weeks that the spot market is still attracting top dollar rates, as carriers are reluctant to add capacity at a time when the economic recovery appears tenuous, retail sales are flat, unemployment is high, and gas prices are about a dollar higher than they were a year ago at this time.
"Carriers today are not interested in adding capacity, because rates today are about equal to what they were in 2006," said Lana Batts, a partner at Transport Capital Partners, in a recent interview. "The price of a truck has gone up from $80,000 to $120,000 and fuel is up, too. Everything is more expensive, and the industry is still charging 2006 rates. It is not sustainable. Trucking is not as easy of a business to get into as it was before."
TransCore also reported that truckload freight rates were mixed on a seasonal basis in July for all equipment types, with the national average rate—excluding fuel surcharges— down 3.6 percent in July for dry vans compared to June and flat compared to July 2010. The firm said that rates for reefer vans were down 9.4 percent in July compared to June and up 0.6 percent annually. Flatbed rates were flat compared to June and up 11 percent annually.

|Ash Hollow Historical Pageant features Oregon Trail history
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
This year's Ash Hollow Pageant tells the story of the Oregon-California Trail in the 1860s, the final years of the trail. The pageant is Friday-Saturday, June 14-15 at Ash Hollow State Historical Park near Lewellen, Neb., and features an outdoor performance using pioneer diary quotes and song to depict life on the trail.
The chuck wagon supper, including roast beef, beans, fry bread and salad, starts at 5 p.m. and the performance at 6:30 p.m. both nights.
There are also many things to do during the day including an art show in downtown Lewellen and self-drive tours of the area exploring Windlass Hill, the old rock schoolhouse and sod house.
Saturday morning, June 15, they will also be hosting a 5k run/walk event in Ash Hollow Park. Registration desk opens at 7 a.m., and the run begins at 8 a.m.
Old movie images of the Oregon Trail with pioneers circling up their wagons while Indians attacked from over the ridge of a hill have little to do with most pioneers' real experiences on the Oregon-California Trail. However, by the final years of the trail, in the 1860s, there was some truth to those images.
Pioneers first headed to Oregon in 1843. They were terrified of Indian attack but found their interactions to be far more helpful than dangerous. As the pioneers travelled across the plains, diary entries tell of Native Americans helping pioneers ford rivers and sharing game. Some interactions were humorous, such as a Native American man trying to buy a woman for his wife.
By the early 1850s, cholera plagued the trail, and Native Americans learned to avoid disease-ridden wagon trains. As more and more pioneers crossed the plains, the Platte River road created a split in the huge buffalo herds and a loss of game. Some Native Americans started stopping wagon trains and asking for payment for crossing their land, but friendly interactions were still the norm.
Pioneers continued in their fear of encountering Indians, and many practiced defending themselves while being attacked. One diary tells of women fainting during a mock attack.
By the 1850s, forts were established at Kearny, Neb., (note early spelling) and Laramie, Wyo. Treaties were established with the Lakota Sioux to make payment for damage to their land by pioneers crossing through on their way to Oregon, California and Utah.
It was at that time that the Lakota had gathered at Fort Laramie for their annual payment that an oxen from a passing train was killed by a visiting Minniconjou. Young brash soldiers went out to arrest the man who killed the cow and started firing when he wouldn't give himself up.
All the soldiers were killed and the Sioux raided the store house of the payment that was to be given to them and left the area. This was a classic case of violence escalating.
The army responded by calling General Harney to lead soldiers to show American dominance, resulting in the Blue Water Massacre near Lewellen in 1855.
Relations deteriorated from that point on, but pioneers were still relatively safe as they travelled through the area that is now Nebraska and Wyoming. It was when they encountered the Snake tribe in Idaho that they were often raided and sometimes attacked.
The 1860s on the trail were dangerous in the final stretch, and wagon trains did circle up at night to corral their animals and protect themselves from attack. An odd part of this story is that some of the diarists tell that they were pretty sure that some of the attackers were white men dressed up as Indians.
The Sioux Wars in the 1870s were in response to the government rounding up tribes to live on reservations and ending with the Wounded Knee Massacre in 1890. By then, Nebraska had been opened up for settlement and homesteaders occupied most of the state.
More information can be found at www.voane.org or by contacting Volunteers of America—Western Nebraska office at 308-778-5548.
All vehicles entering the park will need a state permit, which are sold at the entrance.

Miley Cyrus: The Imperfection of Teenage Stardom.
by Meredith O'Brien
My 12-year-old daughter gestured to the March issue of Marie Claire that was sitting on my desk.
"Have you looked through that? Looked at the pictures?" she asked.
"No, not yet," I said, eyeing Miley Cyrus on the cover next to the headline, "I'm sorry. I never, ever said I was perfect."
She flipped open to the cover story about Cyrus, someone who my daughter used to adore, whose 3-D movie we saw in a packed theater after having arrived an hour early and bought advanced tickets, whose life's story my daughter knew by heart, whose music my daughter used to download onto her iPod. In Marie Claire were photos of the 18-year-old wearing sophisticated duds, including a dress which revealed ample side cleavage and another skin-bearing black, lace-up dress that looked as though the back had been unzipped. My daughter wrinkled her nose. She no longer watches Hannah Montana, preferring instead iCarly on TV and Taylor Swift on her iPod. In fact Swift posters have replaced Cyrus ones in her room.
And in that moment, when my daughter left my office, disappointed in her idol, I felt badly, for my daughter and, believe it or not, for Cyrus as well.

WHEELING - When the organizers of the Dick Dei Pepsi Track Classic set down to finalize everything for the 2013 event, the decision was made to include a girls' meet at the same time, for the first time.
And after all was said and done on a cool Saturday afternoon at Wheeling Park High School those same organizers had to be patting themselves on the back for what turned into a down-to-the-wire finish for the girls' title.
Watkins Memorial scored 16 points during the final two events of the day, the shuttle hurdle relay and the 16,00-meter sprint relay, to overtake Canon McMillan and Wheeling Park to captured the first girls' championship trophy awarded for the Dei Classic. Watkins finished with 108, the Big Macs were a very close second at 107.5 and Park third with 106.

Wheeling Park's Bryce Ingram competes in the long jump event during the Dick Dei Pepsi Track Classic Saturday afternoon in Wheeling.
Meanwhile, the Warriors boys had little problems turning a 2012 runner-up finish into a 2013 title, racking up 167 points to easily outdistance the Dayton Dunbar (126) and the host Patriots who finished with 94. With the addition of the girls to the meet, it was also decided to include an overall team champion, which obviously went to Watkins Memorial with 75 markers to complete the sweep.
Entering the final two events, Canon McMillan was sitting in first with 100.5.
Wheeling Park was in second with 98, and Watkins had 92. But led by junior Ricki Miles and sophomores Monica Tumblin, Shannon Barth and Kara Robinson, the Warriors won the shuttles with the Big Macs third. Unfortunately for the Patriots, they were unable to assemble a shuttle team, a situation that very well may have cost them the meet, or at least second place.
Having moved past Park and sitting right behind Canon McMillan, Robinson, senior Veda Durbin and freshmen Kelsey Grove and Rachel Lawwell did what they needed to do, finishing third in the 4X400 to capture the crown. The Patriots were second while the Big Macs scored just one point for sixth.
While settling for third, Wheeling Park did have an outstanding afternoon, capturing four championships and leading or sitting near the top of the leaderboard for most of the day. The Patriots' two individual winners were sophomore Nakysha McGhee with a 13.09 clocking in the 100-meter dash and junior Jazzlynn Hall with a 17.36 in the 100-meter hurdles.
The hosts also broke the tape in the 400 relay with Chloe Robb, Ashley Grove, Kambria O'Neal and McGhee and the 800 relay with McGhee, Robb, Grove and Rakedra Webb.
John Marshall also had a good day, finishing fourth in the team standings, but also providing the girls' high-point scorer in Erica Haught with 20.5. Haught finished second in both the 400 and 800 while helping the Monarchs' 400 relay team to a second-place finish and joining sister Ashley, Hailee McClelland and Shelby Pell to win the 1,600 relay in 4:17.64.
Freshman Tori Derrow of John Marshall appeared on track to be a double-winner, however, after easily winning the high jump with a 5-foot-2 leap, she was disqualified in the finals of the 100-meter high hurdles after logging the fastest preliminary time in more than half a second. Monarchs' junior Emily Winters also won the shot put at 35-9.
The girls' only double-winner was Peters Township junior Kylie Knavish who took the 800 in 2:26.59 and the 1,600 in 5:18.47. Other winners included Canon McMillan's Riley Leisman in the 200, Lexi Vidonish in the 300 hurdles, Lauren Cargill in the long jump, Haley Yenchik in the pole vault and the Big Macs' 3,200 relay squad.
Also, Watkins Memorial's Stephanie Robb in the 400, Josie Woosley in the 3,200 and the Warriors' 4X100 and 4X800 quartets. Megan Parker of Peters Township too the discus.
The boys' meet belonged to the Warriors with two individual winners on the track, a pair of relay champions and a near sweep in the field events with four of five.
The Warriors' Michael McKean won the 3,200 in 9:56.90 and Ethan George took the 300 hurdles in 40.80 while also taking the shuttles and putting the finishing touches on the title by edging out Wheeling Park for the 1,600-meter title in the day's final event.
In the field events, junior Hunter Holton won the high jump at 6-2, classmates Bradon Oney the pole vault with a 12-6 effort and Jerrod Lyon the long jump with a 19-11 leap and senior Nic Eader spun the discus 144-8. Eader nearly made it a clean sweep, but had to settle for second in the shot put to Canon McMillan's Alec Rideout.
There were a pair of double-winners in Dunbar's Curtis Boyd in the 100 and 200 and the Big Macs' Ryan Davey in the 400 and 800. Anthony Peeples of Dunbar won the 1,600 while teammate Juan Scott won the high hurdles and the team also won three relay events.
While there were no local champions on the boys' side, Wheeling Park finished second in the 400, 800 and 1,600 relays, while taking third in the 3,200 relay and the shuttles. Markieth O'Neal, Brandon Porter and Jaleel Brown appeared on all three of the second-place squads with Bryce Ingram on a pair and Maurice Miller on the other.
Miller joined Jonathan Flight, Braeden Carroll and Zach Witsberger on the 3,200 relay, while the shuttles was comprised of seniors Chase Bonar and Austin Farley and freshmen Tim Goldbaugh and Richard Cummings.
Wheeling Park was second in the combined team scores with 200 while the Big Macs were third.

If any one has any ideas that would be great also. If you do have the Sierra manual could you possibly scan the pages with the .25-06 info and send it my way. That would be greatly appreciated.

After his golden triumph in Beijing this weekend, Rafael Nadal officially moved into the penthouse of the ATP Tour today rising to world no. 1 after a record 160 weeks in the second position.
I think it'll take a moment to get used to the order but no other baller is as deserving of the top position as the Majorcan Matador.
And, in honor of the US Open and his rise to the top, New York magazine is featuring a sexed-up Rafa in "The Beefcake in the Backcourt" for this week's Fall Fashion 2008 issue.
The mag discusses the above right image saying,
Take your time. It's okay. That photo of Rafael Nadal on the back cover of this magazine is undeniably … what's a polite way to put it? Arresting. The mussed locks curled just so above the shoulders. The biceps curved like a particularly ripe aubergine. The shadows playing across the deeply grooved abs. All demand extended scrutiny.Most definitely not and I don't know if I'd want him to! New York also delves into Rafa's boundary-pushing on-court fashions saying,
When you're done, ask yourself this: Would Roger Federer ever pose for a photo like that?
And now here's Nadal. His has been called a "pirate" look, but the interesting thing about Nadal's style is that it's so feminine—a thinner, less physical player could not pull off those clothes. Maybe that's why he's been greeted with the kind of moral outrage—"Abominable!" "Infernal!"—usually reserved for the latest female player to show too much skin. Debate over the pants in particular, and Nadal's habit of reaching back to loosen them between points, has trespassed on the familiar terrain of comfort versus sex appeal. Are they too tight? Is it one of his many elaborate on-court rituals (Nadal's own explanation)? Or are his butt muscles just too big?I'd say all the above - and aren't we all lucky for it.
Check out more on tennis' influence on fashion over the years.
Thanks to Preppy Princess for the NY mag tip!

Sunday July 5, 1964 1 P. M.
Dear Children:
The object of this letter is simply to give me the feeling that I am keeping in touch with you. To date we have received only the letter you wrote to us from Kentucky, but we are hopefully awaiting the end of this holiday so that mail will be flowing again and we will hear from you once more. All we want to know is that you are well and sage.
Radio reports are now most sketchy- which we interpret as an indication that quiet reigns in Miss.
We also know that 3 Congressman have " invaded" Miss., much to the distress of Gov. Johnson, who has advised Mississippian to keep calm during the presence of the visitors. Also, Luther Hodges is making a tour this week of the southern states to consult with the governors. We are praying that the visiting dignitaries will continue going into Miss., as one means of maintaining order.
We received a mimeographed letter from Bob Moses a few days ago addressed to " Parents of all Miss. Volunteers," asking us to take immediate action for the safety of the volunteers; i. e. write Pres. J and R. Kennedy to station federal marshals throughout the state, etc., etc; also to Pres J to agree to give COFO an interview.
Of course we have been busy writing and wiring, and have asked others to do the same.
One day last week Dad received a phone call from Allan Schazin asking for your address. Dad didn't know anything about an address and told Allan he would hear from us by mail. I sent him the 507 White St. address and assume he wrote to you there.
Of course, I am also assuming you are getting my mail at 507 White St., or at least it is being forward to you, wherever you are.
Please watch yourselves, and if there is anything else we can do let us know.
Radio and newspaper reports are thinning out- which we take to mean there is not danger at the moment- and we are praying it will stay this way.
Love and Kisses

The law provides that the Secretary of State shall transmit to the Speaker of the House of Representatives and the Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate, by February 25 "a full and complete report regarding the status of internationally recognized human rights, within the meaning of subsection (A) in countries that receive assistance under this part, and (B) in all other foreign countries which are members of the United Nations and which are not otherwise the subject of a human rights report under this Act." We have also included reports on several countries that do not fall into the categories established by these statutes and that thus are not covered by the congressional requirement.

Kiribati is a constitutional republic that occupies 33 small islands widely scattered across 1.365 million square miles of the central Pacific Ocean. The country has a popularly elected president and a legislative assembly of 42 members; 40 are elected by universal adult suffrage, the Rabi Island Council in Fiji nominates 1, and the Attorney General holds an ex-officio position. The judiciary is independent.
A police force of about 250 personnel is controlled effectively by the civilian authorities.
The country has a population of over 90,000 that is primarily Micronesian, with a significant component of Polynesian origin. Economic activity consists primarily of subsistence agriculture and fishing. The islands' isolation and meager resources, including poor soil and limited arable land, severely limit prospects for economic development. The per capita GDP is approximately $500 (AUS$950).
The Government generally respected the human rights of its citizens, and the law and judiciary provide effective means of dealing with individual instances of abuse; however, the Government placed some limits on freedom of the press. In this traditional culture, women occupy a subordinate role and have limited job opportunities. Violence against women and child abuse in urban areas were problems.
1. Respect for the Integrity of the Person, Including Freedom From:
a. Arbitrary or Unlawful Deprivation of Life
There were no reports of the arbitrary or unlawful deprivation of life committed by the Government or its agents.
b. Disappearance
There were no reports of politically motivated disappearances.
c. Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman, or Degrading Treatment or Punishment
The Constitution prohibits torture and inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment; however, traditional practice permits corporal punishment for criminal acts and other transgressions. On some outer islands, the island councils occasionally order strokes with palm fronds to be administered for public drunkenness and other minor offenses, such as petty thievery.
Prison conditions generally meet international standards. There are separate facilities for men and women. Family members and church representatives are allowed access to prisoners. Both diplomats and senior judicial officials have visited the prison and reported no problems. The question of monitoring prison conditions by local human rights groups has not arisen, and no policy concerning such monitoring has been formulated. There were no known requests by nonresident international human rights monitors to visit the prison.
d. Arbitrary Arrest, Detention, or Exile
The Constitution prohibits arbitrary arrest and detention, and the Government generally observes these prohibitions.
The Government does not use forced exile; however, on rare occasions village maneabas (councils) have used this punishment.
e. Denial of Fair Public Trial
The Constitution provides for an independent judiciary, and the Government generally respects this provision in practice.
The judiciary consists of a high court, magistrate courts, a court of appeal, and land courts. Litigants also have the right of appeal to the Privy Council in London. The right to a fair public trial is provided by law and observed in practice. The Constitution provides that an accused person be informed of the nature of the offense with which he is charged and be provided adequate time and facilities to prepare a defense. The right to confront witnesses, present evidence, and appeal convictions is provided for in law. Procedural safeguards are based on English common law.
There were no reports of political prisoners.
f. Arbitrary Interference with Privacy, Family, Home, or Correspondence
The law prohibits such practices, and the Government generally respects these prohibitions in practice.
2. Respect for Civil Liberties, Including:
a. Freedom of Speech and Press
The Constitution provides for freedom of speech and of the press, and the Government generally respects these rights in practice; however, the Government limited these rights in some instances.
In May 2000, a former president established the country's first private newspaper, which enabled the opposition to present views divergent from those in the government-owned newspaper.
The sole AM and sole FM radio stations in Tarawa are government owned; they broadcast Radio Australia and Voice of America programming regularly. The country also has a government-supported radio station. An opposition attempt to operate a private radio station was blocked in 1999 when the Government closed the station and fined the owners for attempting to import broadcasting equipment without a license. A foreign journalist remains barred from entering the country after cabinet officials stated in 1999 that the journalist's articles "gave a bad impression of the country." The journalist did not attempt to reenter the country during the year. Churches published newsletters and other periodicals. High costs limited the availability of foreign print media and Internet access, but there were no Government-imposed limitations.
Academic freedom is respected.
b. Freedom of Peaceful Assembly and Association
The Constitution provides for the freedoms of assembly and association, and the Government generally respects these rights in practice. Permits are required for public gatherings, but these are granted routinely.
c. Freedom of Religion
The Constitution provides for freedom of religion, and the Government generally respects this right in practice.
d. Freedom of Movement Within the Country, Foreign Travel, Emigration, and Repatriation
The law provides for these rights, and the Government generally respects them in practice.
There were no reports of refugees. There is no national legislation implementing the 1951 U.N. Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees and its 1967 Protocol, and the Government has not formulated a policy regarding refugees, asylees, or first asylum. During the year, Australia inquired informally about the Government acting to protect refugees; however, no formal requests were made.
3. Respect for Political Rights: The Right of Citizens to Change Their Government
The Constitution provides citizens with the right to change their government peacefully, and citizens exercise this right in practice through periodic, free, and fair elections held on the basis of universal suffrage. The President exercises executive authority and is elected for a 4-year term. No fewer than three and no more than four presidential candidates are nominated by the elected Legislative Assembly from among its members. Under the Constitution, the President is limited to three terms. In free and fair elections, voters reelected President Teburoro Tito to a second term in November 1998, with 52.3 percent of the votes. Most of President Tito's cabinet ministers have served in the previous cabinet. The next legislative election is scheduled for the latter part of 2002.
The percentage of women in government and politics does not correspond to their percentage of the population. Two women hold permanent secretary positions, and there are 2 women in the 42-member Parliament
4. Governmental Attitude Regarding International and Nongovernmental Investigation of Alleged Violations of Human Rights
There are no restrictions on the formation of local human rights nongovernmental organizations, but none have been formed. There are no restrictions on operations by international human rights groups. There have been no reported allegations of human rights abuses by the Government and no known requests for investigations.
5. Discrimination Based on Race, Sex, Religion, Disability, Language, or Social Status
The Constitution prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, creed, national origin, or sex, and the Government observed these prohibitions in practice; however, only native-born I-Kiribati may own land. Society is fundamentally egalitarian and has no privileged class.
Spousal abuse and other forms of violence against women are a significant problem in Tarawa and the outer islands. Frequently, alcohol abuse is a factor in attacks on women. The law does not address specifically domestic violence, but general common law and criminal law make assault in all forms illegal. Rape, including spousal rape, is a crime, and the law is enforced when charges are brought to court, although it is suspected that prosecutions are relatively infrequent.
Prostitution is not illegal, but it is not a problem; procuring sex and managing brothels are illegal. The law does not prohibit sex tourism specifically; however, there were no reports of such activity. Obscene or indecent behavior is banned.
The law does not prohibit sexual harassment; however, it is not regarded as a problem.
The Constitution prohibits discrimination based on sex; however, the traditional culture, in which men are dominant, has impeded a more active role for women in the economy. Nevertheless, women slowly are finding work in unskilled and semiskilled occupations. The Government has increased its hiring and promotions of women to some extent; however, women may not work at night except under specified circumstances (generally in service jobs such as hotel clerks). Statistics on the participation of women in the work force and on comparative wages were unavailable, and statistics generally are not well collected in the country. Women have full rights of ownership and inheritance of property as well as full and equal access to education.
Within its limited financial resources, the Government makes adequate expenditures for child welfare. Primary education is compulsory, free, and universal for children between the ages of 6 and 14 years. There are no official statistics available on the percentage of children attending school, but observers estimate that over 50 percent attend; there is no gender discrimination regarding attendance. All children have free primary school education (grades one through six). The 40 percent of primary school graduates who pass a national examination qualify to attend 3 years of junior secondary school and 4 years of senior secondary school on a subsidy; a small fee is charged to other students who wish to matriculate at these levels.
The Government provides free national medical service; however, there are no doctors on the outer islands. The central hospital in Tarawa provides basic medical services, but not intensive care facilities. There are no reports of gender bias in the provision of health services.
Child abuse is a growing problem, particularly on South Tarawa. There have been no reports of child prostitution.
Persons With Disabilities
The law does not prohibit specifically discrimination against persons with disabilities; however, there were no complaints of discrimination in employment, education, or in the provision of other state services for persons with mental or physical disabilities. Accessibility for persons with disabilities has not been mandated; accommodations for persons with disabilities are basically nonexistent.
The central hospital on Tarawa has a wing for persons with mental disabilities. There is a foreign national psychiatrist working in Tarawa. Foreign-based aid workers and the World Health Organization cooperate with the Ministry of Health to conduct outer island workshops for health workers.
6. Worker Rights
a. The Right of Association
Freedom of association is provided for in the Constitution, and workers are free to join and organize unions. Over
90 percent of the work force are occupied in fishing or subsistence farming, but the small wage sector has a relatively strong and effective trade union force. An estimated 10 percent of the wage-earning workers are union members. In 1982 seven registered trade unions merged to form the Kiribati Trade Union Congress (KTUC), which has approximately 2,500 members. There are no official public sector trade unions; however, unionized nurses and teachers make up approximately 30-40 percent of total union membership.
The law provides for the right to strike. However, strikes are rare; the last one took place in 1980.
Unions are free to affiliate internationally. The KTUC is affiliated with the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions.
b. The Right to Organize and Bargain Collectively
The law protects workers from employer interference in their right to organize and administer unions. The Government does not control or restrict union activities; however, unions must register with the Government. Collective bargaining is provided for under the Industrial Relations Code. The Government sets wages in the large public sector. However, in a few statutory bodies and government-owned companies, employees may negotiate wages and other conditions. In the private sector, individual employees also may negotiate wages with employers. In keeping with tradition, negotiations generally are nonconfrontational. There have been no reports of antiunion discrimination; however, mechanisms exist for resolving complaints were they to arise.
There are no export processing zones.
c. Prohibition of Forced or Compulsory Labor
The Constitution prohibits forced or compulsory labor, and there were no reports that such practices occurred.
The prohibition does not mention specifically forced and bonded labor by children; however, there were no reports that such practices occurred.
d. Status of Child Labor Practices and Minimum Age for Employment
The law prohibits the employment of children under the age of 14. Children through the age of 15 are prohibited from industrial employment and employment aboard ships. Labor officers from the Ministry of Commerce, Industry, and Employment generally enforce these laws effectively, given the rudimentary conditions of the economy. Children rarely are employed outside the traditional economy. Although not prohibited specifically, forced and bonded labor by children is not known to occur (see Section 6.c.).
The Government has not ratified ILO Convention 182 on the worst forms of child labor.
e. Acceptable Conditions of Work
There is no minimum wage. There is provision for a minimum wage at ministerial discretion, but it has never been implemented. Income tends to be pooled within the extended family, and the standard income appears adequate to provide a decent standard of living for a worker and family. There is no legislatively prescribed workweek. Workers in the public sector (80 percent of the wage-earning work force) work 361/4 hours per week, with overtime pay for additional hours.
Employment laws provide rudimentary health and safety standards for the workplace. For example, employers must provide an adequate supply of clean water for workers and ensure the existence of sanitary toilet facilities. Employers are liable for the expenses of workers injured on the job. The Government's ability to enforce employment laws is hampered by a lack of qualified personnel. Workers do not have the right to remove themselves from hazardous work sites without risking loss of employment.
There are no laws specifically to protect foreign workers; however, there are no significant numbers of foreign workers and no reports of mistreatment. Some foreign volunteers and missionaries work in the schools.
f. Trafficking in Persons
The law does not prohibit trafficking in persons, and there have been no reports that persons were trafficked to, from, or within the country; however, some observers believe that trafficking occurs. Nevertheless, there is no specific evidence of trafficking.

I've been reading everything I can get my hands on and have figured out that most people don't camp out of a backpack tent. I've read enough to know that weather in mid-October at can be anything from mild to wild but would like to hear from some experienced folks on what I should expect on average about the weather. Also, would the weather dictate a four-season tent or would a three-season tent suffice? Any insight on what to expect would be greatly appreciated.

I have a question maybe someone could help with.
I have max preference points in Wyoming for elk. I have read that Wyoming considers everybody's first choice of units first, prior to looking at anybodies second choice.
If you have max points, do they look at all of the max points applicants and if the unit you want is taken when your name is drawn, do they move on to the name applicant, and you are basically in the random draw for your later choices? Or do you still have an advantage? Do the max points only favor your first choice of units?
I was always under the assumption that if your name gets drawn, they look at your first choice, if it is full they consider your second choice and so on, and then they move to the next name drawn. Am I incorrect in this thinking?
Any clarification would be helpful.
