|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
|Tuesday, 20 March 2012 15:52
East Phillips County Hospital District will host its annual health fair Saturday, March 24 from 9 a.m.-noon at Holyoke High School.
Those who had their blood drawn will be able to pick up their lab results and visit with a provider about them that day. Clinicians will be present to help with lab results.
Also, those who haven't had their blood drawn will be able to do so on Saturday. Those planning to do so need to fast for 12 hours before the test. Results will not be available on the same day but can be picked up later at the hospital.
MMH Human Resources director Sharon Greenman said 611 people had their blood drawn during early blood draws.
In addition, providers will be on hand to offer hearing screenings, height, weight, blood pressure and body fat analysis and screenings for anxiety and depression as well as for peripheral vascular disease.
Early Childhood Council of Logan, Phillips and Sedgwick counties (ECCLPS) will be on hand providing oral health screenings and fluoride treatments.
Numerous educational booths and stations will also be set up providing more information and giveaways.
Linda Staples, registered dietician and diabetes educator, will be on hand for question and answer periods. Discussion times will be held at 9:15, 10:15 and 11:15 a.m.

"MMH is proud to offer an annual health fair as one of many services designed to make our mission of a healthy community a living reality."
Ayoub said there are only a few services that need to be paid for—and those are done at greatly discounted rates. "The vast majority of information and services are free," he added.
"We understand that not everyone will take advantage of these great resources, but we want to continue to make them available and encourage their use to those who can and will."

|American Red Cross issues steps to prevent home fires
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
The biggest disaster threat to American families isn't floods, hurricanes or tornadoes; it's fire. The American Red Cross responds to a disaster every eight minutes and nearly all of these are home fires.
The American Red Cross responded to more than 400 home fires in Colorado last year. Fire is everyone's fight, and the Red Cross urges people to know what steps they can take to help prevent fires.
"Home fires are a common and deadly threat because they happen so quickly," said Anthony Cisneros, board chairman for the American Red Cross of Northern Colorado. "We urge everyone to become aware of what they should do to prevent a fire in their home." Although home fires happen any time of the year, the Red Cross often sees an increased frequency in home fires in Colorado during cold weather, when people are using space heaters and spending more time indoors.
According to the U.S. Fire Administration, there are almost 365,000 residential fires reported in the U.S. every year. These fires cause more than $6 billion in property loss. While the frequency of fire deaths has steadily decreased over the past 10 years due to increased awareness and safety measures, more than 2,400 Americans still die every year in home fires.

I purchased laces that are Kevlar and love them, no stretch and the bow knot stays tied all day no problem. Can't remember the brand name. I also lase my boots in stages, just above the eyelet lace holes I tie an over hand knot and cinch it down then continue up the speed hooks..............works for me.

LONDON (AP) -- Ex-spokesman Tim Bell says that former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher has died. She was 87.
Bell said the woman known to friends and foes as "the Iron Lady" passed away Monday morning.
During 11 bruising years as prime minister, Thatcher found a fellow believer in former U.S. President Ronald Reagan, transformed her country by a ruthless dedication to free markets and infuriated European allies.
Thatcher retired from public engagements in 2002 following a series of small strokes, and was only occasionally seen in public since then.

I would like to see if it's possible to deploy a small "test case" of Zimbra and utilize this in a large Lotus Notes environment? Personally I can't stand Notes, and view it as one of the great headaches right now. Zimbra looks absolutely fantastic, but I would need to implement this in such a fashion as to maintain compatibility with the existing install base that is on Notes. Is this even possible?
Can Zimbra peacefully coexist in a Notes environment? Can calendar items seamlessly transition from Notes to Zimbra and vice-versa? If this is even possible, how would I proceed? I have a server with plenty of capacity for the dozen or so users that would migrate initially to this.
Thanks in advance. This would be a project done "under the table", in my spare time as a proof of concept. The hope is that if I can make this work, to then propose a real project to convert the entire organization to Zimbra.

They do work off of satalites but they are really hard on battery life, i wont leave my garmin at home and depend on my phone.

I recently heard that iphones and android style smart phones can double as a gps?
do they work off satellites or do they require internet access to function/ be within cell phone range?
because if they do work with satellites I'm starting to think why bother having a garmin gps handheld etc...?

Ill give up all my hunting in Michigan for 2 weeks in the high country
I am planning to use my phone along with my Garmin as a backup on a Wyoming elk hunt next month. For around $20 I bought Backcountry navigator app and BLM overlay maps.. I have the phone and my Garmin is older and don't want to upgrade it. Extra batteries are pretty reasonable . Turn the data off and put the phone in airplane mode to conserve battery.
I looked long and hard between the android and garmin options. I ended up buying a garmin Oregon. The phone apps are just not quite where they need to be compared to the Garmin. I think in a year or two assuming continued development of apps like Backcountry navigator these apps will be able to directly compete against garmins. The price tag of the phone apps compared to a dedicated Garmin certainly make it attractive. If I owned Garmin stock; I'd probably be selling it.
Here is an article I wrote on Elknut about using my ATT iPhone as a GPS:
Essentially, as long as you take every precaution against battery drain, it works REALLY well.
Verizon iPhone has the issue where you cannot turn off calling, which kills battery.
DIY til I DIE
especially if just day hiking and camping next to a vehicle, I'm not particularly worried about battery life just yet... as long as I can make it through a day on batteries...
i wouldnt go wondering around deep into the mountains with my phone as my gps source, unless you know the area real well. sure it runs off from help in the skies but with a gps you have 4 satellites working for you. when you have a thick overcast day at 10,000 feet ill be thankfull i have my garmin on hand while hunting unfamiliar country.

(WUSA9) -- The third week of October is National Teen Driver Safety Week and we're kicking off the "Extra Mile" week-long series about the initiative with John Kuo, Administrator of the Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration.
The theme this year is "It Takes Two: shared expectations for teens and parents." The State of Maryland is recognizing the program with this driver safety tips card. Kuo told us what was on this card and what parents can do to support their teens when they are driving.
NHTSA: Teen drivers (http://1.usa.gov/12GUZzM)
"Besides putting on the seat belt, don't text and drive, don't use the handheld cell phone while you are driving, try to restrict passengers as well. Studies have shown that teens that carry young passengers with them, it causes them to be distracted, causes them to not focus on their driving," stated Kuo.
And this may surprise you: most accidents involving teens occur between 9:00 p.m. and midnight. Kuo told us, "They are not supposed to be driving after midnight until 5:00 a.m. We encourage parents to stay involved as well."
Kuo also talked about the process teens have to go through to get their licenses in Maryland: "Maryland has one of the strongest graduated driving programs in the country. We're actually one of the first states to institute a graduated licensing program since the late 1990s. It's basically a three-stage process. The first stage is obviously the learning period, and in our state we have passed laws to allow that for a total learner's permit for up to two years. Taking driver's ed, then you take your screening test and skills test and you graduate to a provisional driver's license, which comes with a lot of restrictions."
And the driving laws changed as of October 1. Kuo told us, "Texting has always been prohibited in the state of Maryland. But the law changed on October 1st, and basically prohibits any individual to be holding a handheld cell phone device."
It's not just about teens. "Every driver needs to be parking their cell phones and focusing on driving," said Kuo.

Cubis 2: Exclusive Edition Game Overview
Play 30 new cubetastic levels on MSN Games!Take your puzzle obsession to the next dimension with Cubis 2: Exclusive Edition! MSN Games is the one place you can find addictively fun new levels like Yowzer, Freight Elevator, Babel, and Core Meltdown!
1.Match three or more cubes of the same color to clear them from the board. Plan your next move by looking at the cubes at the bottom of the screen.
2.Position your cube along the lower left or right board edge, then left-click to slide it down the board.
3.Use bomb cubes to destroy several cubes, and use lasers to melt target cubes.
Cubis 2 Tips and Strategies
· Play through the tutorial within the game. To play the tutorial in Cubis 2, click the Game Menu button and then click How to Play.
· Cubes will not be released until you release the left mouse button. So if you have clicked the left mouse button but don't like the placement of the cube, continue to hold down the button until the cube is where you want it.
· The next three cube colors are displayed below the grid. Use these to plan ahead.
· Clear as many cubes off the board as you can before the end of the round. You lose points for each remaining cube.
· Try to clear cubes in a chain reaction. Clearing chains is called a "Cubis" and will add a lot of points to your score. Cubis is most easily achieved when cubes are stacked together in a large bunch.
· A cube will be pushed out of the way if the square behind it is unoccupied. If cubes are in a stack, only the bottom cube will slide into the unoccupied square.
· Cubes might crumble if they fall from a stack.
· Some levels have stone blocks. You cannot move these blocks and so you will have to work around them. Laser cubes will destroy stone blocks.
· The free online version ends after 20 levels. To maximize your points, try these tips:
o Clear all cubes on a level to achieve a "Perfect", which is worth bonus points.
o Don't leave Star Cubes or Ghost Cubes on the board, as these will take points away!.
Cube Types
· Ghost Cubes will randomly teleport on to the board during the new Morph-Fun mode meaning there's never a dull moment in Cubis 2!
· Bomb Cubes destroy and move adjacent cubes in explosive fashion. Make sure to use them wisely and to your full advantage.
· Dual Cubes mean double the trouble as you'll have to match both sides of the cube to adjacent blocks in order to remove them from the board.
· Stone Cubes block all other cubes until they are destroyed.
· Crumbled Cubes will break away when your sliding cube comes into contact with them. The sliding cube will pass through as if the crumbled cube was never there. However, Crumbled cubes will not break away when they come in contact with either a wedge or osmosis cube. Instead they will be lifted up as with normal cubes.
· Laser Cubes (orange balls with gray boxes swirling around them) fire blue beams that destroy whatever is in their path. Each laser cube fires only once and destroys only one object. Laser cubes will destroy other cubes or stone blocks that stand in your way.
· Osmosis cubes (cubes with "bubbles" inside) act just like wedge cubes. However, they have the added effect of changing the color of any cube they run into. If your red osmosis cube runs into a green cube, it will lift the green cube up and turn it red.
· Star Cubes will cost you points if you don't eliminate them (350 for each that is left at the end of the level).
· Wedge cubes (shaped like wedges) will lift any cube they run into up to three high. If a wedge cube runs into a stack of three cubes, it will stop at the stack.

(Washington) - The United States Helsinki Commission will host a briefing on the upcoming parliamentary elections in Ukraine.
Ukraine will hold parliamentary elections on March 31, 2002. This election, which has generated considerable interest in the United States and Europe, will be an important indication as to whether Ukraine moves forward rather than backslides on the path of democratic development.
Helsinki Commission Chairman Senator Ben Nighthorse Campbell (R-CO) and Commissioner Rep. Louise Slaughter (D-NY) recently introduced identical resolutions in the Senate and House of Representatives urging the Government of Ukraine to ensure a democratic, transparent, and fair election process leading up to the elections.
Ambassador Miller and Mr. Nix have recently returned from Ukraine where they participated in delegations to assess the pre-election atmosphere.
The United States Helsinki Commission, an independent federal agency, by law monitors and encourages progress in implementing provisions of the Helsinki Accords. The Commission, created in 1976, is composed of nine Senators, nine Representatives and one official each from the Departments of State, Defense and Commerce.

Top 75 public companies
Gradually, it seemed, prosperity was taking hold. After hitting bottom in March 2009, major stock indices rose in their herky-jerky way throughout last year and into this one. In April, the S&P 500 cleared 1,200 closer to the happy days before the financial meltdown of late 2008 than the despair it had brought the following spring. At least one pundit predicted the index would reach 3,000 by 2020.
Then fortunes grip slipped. Investors grew cautious as the sovereign debt crisis in Europe worsened, fears of unsustainable government borrowing in the U.S. and other developed markets grew, and expectations of economic growth shrank. Tax credits for home buyers and other government stimuli had either ended or were running out.
The S&P 500 fell more than 15% in less than 10 weeks, giving back about six months worth of gains. Many Tar Heel stocks followed suit, climbing, climbing, then tumbling just as 2010 neared its halfway mark the point at which Business North Carolina annually ranks the states 75 largest public companies by their market capitalization. This year, the list was compiled by Anthony Amoruso, assistant professor of accounting, and Neeraj Gupta, assistant professor of finance, at Elon Universitys Martha and Spencer Love School of Business.
Shares of Bank of America Corp. fell 25% between April 15 and the closing bell on June 30, but it still dwarfed all other public companies in the state. Its market cap of $144 billion was nearly five times that of second-place Lowes Cos. Shares of the hardware retailer had lost more than a quarter of their value in little more than two months. Thats consistent with nationwide trends, Gupta says. Some of the biggest losers have been financial stocks due to increased expectations of default and housing-related firms and retail stocks.
Despite the June swoon, most Tar Heel public companies still gained value in the 12 months that ended June 30. BofAs market cap rose 70.6%, while Lowes grew 2%. Altogether, 51 of the companies on Business North Carolinas Top 75 gained value none more spectacularly than Targacept Inc., which saw its market cap grow nearly ninefold. The stock skyrocketed last summer on favorable results from a clinical trial testing the efficacy of an antidepressant, followed by a licensing agreement with AstraZeneca, which provided a major infusion of cash and the promise of significantly more based on future milestones, Amoruso says. But Targacept, too, struggled to hold on to its gains. Its share price reached $20 on Sept. 28, peaked at $25 on May 13 and ended the first half of 2010 below $20.
As stocks limped through June, some observers feared a replay of early 1930, with shares rallying from the crash of the previous year, only to peak and fall for two more years. Thats unlikely, says Mark Vitner, senior economist at Wells Fargo & Co. in Charlotte. The economy is in better shape, and government policy is more sophisticated. He expected most companies to report solid second-quarter earnings but slow growth afterward. Market caps might not rise until November or December. I would think that the stock prices would be lower on Oct. 1 than they were on May 1, and then we probably rally after the election.

Charlotte, NC (Sports Network) - A streak had to end.
And for the Charlotte Bobcats, their pursuit toward an NBA record for
ineptitude at home came to a halt.
Gerald Henderson's go-ahead 3-pointer with 4.6 seconds left lifted the Bobcats
to a 102-101 triumph over the Minnesota Timberwolves, ending Charlotte's 16-
game home losing streak.
The Bobcats were three more consecutive home losses from setting an NBA record
set by the Dallas Mavericks during the 1993-94 season.
Kemba Walker tallied 25 points, eight assists and eight rebounds, while
Henderson added 15 points for Charlotte, which registered its first victory at
Time Warner Cable Arena since Nov. 21.
J.J. Barea's jumper at the buzzer was blocked by Walker.
Luke Ridnour had 22 points to lead the Timberwolves, who have dropped nine of
10 overall and seven straight on the road.

Le Mars Police Officer Retires After 33 Years
(Le Mars) -- After 33 years as a Le Mars Police officer, Captain Dennis Folkema says he is ready to put away the badge, and hang up the handcuffs and gun. Folkema is scheduled to retire, with his last days on the force this coming Saturday and Sunday. Folkema says he has enjoyed every day of his 33 years as a Le Mars Police officer.
Listen to
Folkema says he got his interest in law enforcement from watching his father, who was a part-time police officer with Granville and Alton. Prior to working with the Le Mars Police Department, he was the town cop for Hinton for a period of six months. What about cold cases? Are there any cases that keep Folkema awake at night and that are still unresolved?
Listen to
Folkema says some of his worst memories of performing the duties as a Le Mars Police Officer have to deal with animal control.
Listen to
Folkema says immediately after that episode, his fellow colleagues kept their distance away from him...at least for a few days. The retiring police officer has high praise for the Le Mars community and the people he served with.
Listen to
What's next for the long-time peace officer? Folkema says he will begin working with the Le Mars Insurance Company.
Listen to
The city of Le Mars will surely miss Folkema's "easy-going" and "fair-minded" style. Number 4 is now signing off...

Trina has been sued for $50 million in damages over allegedly pulling out of an agreement to appear as a judge during an event called "America's Next Top Rapper."
According to Courthouse News Service, Omnipresent Media and Lawrence "Amar" Wright filed suit against the Miami rapstress, her managing agent Rarebreed Entertainment, its principal Josh Burke, the State of Florida and J Ego Entertainment and Nunoise Travel.
The suit claims that Trina agreed to judge the online streaming video platform and competition where aspiring rappers compete to win $20,000, a Universal distribution deal and a "hit production team," among other rewards.
Omnipresent, which throws the competition, said that Trina agreed to judge and then backed out of the show, which was to be held on December 30, 2011. The problem began when Trina and management allegedly failed to send promotional videos for organizers to promote the event. Omnipresent says that its promotions "generated significant traffic on the blogs of major entertainment networks, including BET and MTV."
Trina and management then asked for more money and that the taping would not be publicly broadcasted. Her travel agent then said that she would not appear to judge unless the company paid her travel expenses. Omnipresent says it agreed, but she still didn't provide the promo videos. Because of her absence, Omnipresent says that some attendees became "unruly" and "heckled competition participants."

Funding Opportunity: National Cooperative Agreements for Ryan White HIV Training and TA
Funding Opportunity: National Cooperative Agreements for Ryan White HIV Training and TA
Friday, January 31, 2014
HRSA has announced the availability of funding for three national cooperative agreements to provide technical assistance and training to the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program in these focus areas:
- Technical Assistance Resources Guidance, Education, and Training (TARGET).
- Data and Reporting Technical Assistance (DART).
- Fiscal Management.
Applications for Funding Opportunity Announcement HRSA-14-035 are due March 3, 2014.
Note: Check the below Qs/As frequently, which are being updated on an ongoing basis.
FOA #14-035 Questions and Answers (as of 2/21/14)
- Will you need peer reviewers for this program? ANSWER: Yes, HRSA's Division of Independent Review plans, directs, and carries out HRSA's independent review process of applications for discretionary grants and cooperative agreements. Interested reviewers can register in HRSA's grant reviewer portal.
- I represent a regional HIV/AIDS resource center. We are current recipients of Ryan White B Funding, as well as contracts for a Wellness Center, Prevention & Outreach, HOPWA, TBRA, & STRMU. We are currently interested in building our capacity to apply for Ryan White Part C funding in 2015. Would the HRSA-14-035 Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program National HIV Training and Technical Assistance Cooperative Agreements contract be appropriate to achieve this goal? ANSWER: No, the purpose of this grant program is to fund a group of organizations to undertake a series of activities to provide support to grantees, providers, and consumers served by the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP). Activities are concentrated in three program focus areas TARGET, Data and Reporting Technical Assistance (DART), and Fiscal Management.
- I would like clarification about the appropriate title for Attachment 6 as outlined on page 20 of the instructions. ANSWER: Attachment 6 on page 20 should be labeled Program Specific Line Item Budget.
- I can only access the synopsis via grants.gov. Could you send the full announcement so I can see how to draft a project narrative and respond appropriately? ANSWER: The full funding opportunity announcement can be downloaded on Grants.Gov.
- Is there a TA call planned? ANSWER: No, HAB is not having a technical assistance call on this funding opportunity announcement.
- In prior years, indirect costs were capped at 8%; this doesn't seem to be the case here. Is this true? ANSWER: No, Indirect costs are those costs incurred for common or joint objectives which cannot be readily and specifically identified with a particular project or program but are necessary to the operations of the organization, e.g., the cost of operating and maintaining facilities, depreciation, and administrative salaries. For institutions subject to 2 CFR Part 220 (formerly OMB Circular A-21), the term "facilities and administration" is used to denote indirect costs. If an organization applying for an award does not have an indirect cost rate, the applicant may wish to obtain one through HHS's Division of Cost Allocation (DCA). Visit DCA's website to learn more about rate agreements, the process for applying for them, and the regional offices which negotiate them. If indirect costs are included in the budget, please attach a copy of the indirect cost rate agreement. Indirect cost rate agreements will not count toward the page limit.
- I am writing to ask if you will please extend the response date for HRSA-14-035 from March 3, 2014 until March 12, 2014. We are making this request due to the inclement weather experienced across the east coast. ANSWER: Please send any request for an extension to the HRSA Waiver mailbox ([email protected] ) within 5 days of the closing date. Please note, a waiver is not guaranteed, HAB does not decide if a waiver is issued, and you should plan to complete and submit your application by the posted due date. See Sections 3.5 and 3.6 of HRSA's SF-424 Application Guide.
- Can an organization that receives another Ryan White grant apply for this funding opportunity announcement? ANSWER: Yes, if an organization meets the eligibility criteria as described in the funding opportunity announcement, they may submit an application by the due date.
- Are any organizations eligible for "sole source" funding under this project? ANSWER: No, this is a full and open competition and no funding priorities or preferences are being applied.

By Hilary Russ and Curtis Skinner
NEW YORK (Reuters) – Residents of a dozen New Jersey shore cities plan to light up the coast with flashlights to mark Superstorm Sandy's one-year anniversary on Tuesday, while recovering from the hurricane that ravaged the east coast and left 159 people dead.
Many shore residents in storm-hit states, including New York and Connecticut, are still coping with damaged homes and waiting for $48 billion in federal aid pledged for rebuilding. The rare, late-season tropical storm damaged more than 650,000 homes, prompting evacuations and closing businesses for weeks.
Sandy hit with almost hurricane strength winds and extended over a massive 1,000 miles, causing a storm surge that flooded downtown Manhattan and long stretches of the New Jersey shore, leaving millions in the dark, some for weeks.
The floodwaters breached New York City's subway system, which was partially out of commission for much of the following week, and left many area residents struggling for weeks to find adequate supplies of gasoline, as power outages left homes dark and cold and filling stations closed.
Federal officials on Monday unveiled plans to release a second $5 billion round of funding from the Sandy relief fund, for New York State and City, New Jersey, Connecticut, Maryland and Rhode Island. The money is aimed at rebuilding and repairing homes damaged by the storm.
U.S. Senator Chuck Schumer said the relief money has been slow to come so far – less than a quarter of the $48 billion authorized had been allocated by the end of August but said the flow of funds would pick up.
"The spigot is now open," Schumer told a press conference on Monday.
Congress initially authorized $50 billion for Sandy recovery, but the automatic spending cuts that kicked in earlier this year reduced that target to about $47.9 billion.
Private money has also flowed into communities. Bloomberg's Mayors Fund for emergency response said on Monday it had received more than $60 million in contributions to a fund to help cover restoration.
On Tuesday, Interior Secretary Sally Jewell plans to launch a $100 million competitive grant program, funded by the non-profit National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, to help restore coastal habitats and bolster natural systems, to allow these areas to better protect local communities from future storms.
Sandy also prompted local officials to rethink storm preparedness. New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg in June proposed a $20 billion plan to prepare the city to better handle future storms, with measures ranging from new flood walls to building up beaches, which can be natural barriers.
While this year's Atlantic hurricane season has been the quietest in 45 years, with only one storm reaching hurricane strength, regional leaders said shore communities need to remain ready for similar high-powered storms.
"Our weather patterns are in fact changing," Connecticut Governor Dannel Malloy told reporters on Monday. "We're seeing more severe weather occurrences, closer together and we need to prepare for that. We need to do everything we can to help our citizenry prepare for that."
A year on, the memory of the storm remains fresh in the hardest-hit communities.
On Staten Island, a borough of New York City in the harbor that faced the brunt of the storm surge, 46-year-old Christine Cina's house survived floodwaters 6 feet high – so much water that Cina and her family were rescued by boat.
While her home remains habitable, a guest bungalow where her sister lived is a pile of rubble.
"My kids have to look at this every day and be reminded of the terrible things that happened," Cina, 46, recalled in a recent interview.
Residents of New Jersey shore cities from Ocean City to Jersey City plan to stand along the coast with flashlights on October 29 at sundown, around the time the storm made landfall a year ago. The event, called "Light Up New Jersey," is organized by a local radio station, New Jersey 101.5.
In New York, officials plan to waive subway fees on Tuesday for residents of the low-lying parts of Brooklyn and Queens which were most affected. New York State is also launching the nation's first state-level strategic gasoline reserve, intended to avoid fuel shortages such as those seen after Sandy.
In New York City's South Street Seaport, Monique Perez recalled how the clothing store where she works, Superdry, had to be gutted after 5 feet of water rushed in with such force that it picked up a cash register and smashed it through the wall of an adjoining clothing retailer.
"We could literally see into the Abercrombie and Fitch," said Perez, 39, who serves as East Coast District Manager for the Superdry chain.

Paul Page
Page was a standout wide receiver on Butler's football teams in the mid-1980s, including a pair of conference championship squads. He was a two-time Butler Offensive Most Valuable Player and two-time, first-team All-Heartland Collegiate Conference wide receiver. He held Butler's single season (998) and career (1,937) records for receiving yards at the time of his graduation, and he still ranks in the "Top Five" in both categories. A three-year varsity starter, Page finished his butler career with 117 receptions for 1,937 yards and 14 touchdowns. He caught more than 50 passes in each of his final two seasons.

File:GHCN Temperature Stations.png
From Global Warming Art
The Global Historical Climatology Network[1][2] (GHCN) is one of the primary reference compilations of temperature data used for climatology, and is the foundation of the GISTEMP Temperature Record[3]. This map shows the 7,280 fixed temperature stations in the GHCN catalog color coded by the length of the available record. Sites that are actively updated in the database (2,277) are marked as "active" and shown in large symbols, other sites are marked as "historical" and shown in small symbols. In some cases, the "historical" sites are still collecting data but due to reporting and data processing delays (of more than a decade in some cases) they do not contribute to current temperature estimates.
As is evident from this plot, the most densely instrumented portion of the globe is in the United States, while Antarctica is the most sparsely instrumented land area. Parts of the Pacific and other oceans are more isolated from fixed temperature stations, but this is supplemented by volunteer observing ships that record temperature information during their normal travels. This image shows 3,832 records longer than 50 years, 1,656 records longer than 100 years, and 226 records longer than 150 years. The longest record in the collection began in Berlin in 1701 and is still collected in the present day.

Windows at the Mariana Hardwick bridal headquarters were smashed when a driver crashed through three shopfronts on Sydney Road, Brunswick, on Tuesday morning.
Police allege the driver had a blood-alcohol reading triple the legal limit when he crashed at 4am.
The car was travelling north when it veered onto the footpath near the intersection of Sparta Place, smashing into the bridal boutique, Jessica's Cakes and Sara Jade hair salon in the Hardwick Emporium building.
The car then crashed into a pole.
The Coburg driver, 24, returned a breath test reading of .154 per cent. A 27-year-old passenger from Brunswick suffered minor injuries.
Police say they expect to charge the Coburg man on summons with careless driving, speeding and drink-driving.

Avera St. Luke's Hospital is proud of the advanced technology and diagnostic tools we offer, and our Radiology Department is a great example of offering the best to our patients. Our latest addition is an advanced MRI added in 2012.
Our Imaging Center at 820 First Ave. S.E. in Aberdeen, S.D., specializes in women's services and is unique as a free-standing facility, providing up-to-the-front-door accessibility and convenience. Full-field digital mammography and DEXA (bone densitometry) are done here, and we perform nearly 8,000 mammograms each year.
We offer certified diagnostic mammography with state-of-the-art, full-field digital mammography equipment. Our mammography staff is highly trained and experienced. Learn more about our mammography services.
Avera St. Luke's offers patients the latest in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) technology, with new equipment added to the hospital in 2012. MRI is a method used by physicians to visualize internal organs of the human body and obtain diagnostic information. These images are produced without the use of radiation, and the scan is painless. We are able to perform MR angiograms, a diagnostic study that shows the blood flow through the body's arteries. New imaging with MRI also is able to show early indications of brain deterioration due to strokes or Alzheimer's.
With our state-of-the art computed tomography scanners at Avera St. Luke's, outpatients, patients and health care professionals now receive faster, higher quality, and even more detailed images of the human body. Our GE Medical Systems CT scanners have the power to scan finer, faster and further. Avera St. Luke's Cancer Care Center's dedicated CT simulator has very specialized software and programming that allows the radiation oncologist to accurately locate and visualize the tumor and normal structures.
We offer the unique advantages of the revolutionary PET/CT imaging technology. This hybrid technology that combines the strengths of two well-established imaging scanners can more accurately diagnose and locate cancers while increasing patient comfort. It's a noninvasive, painless and quick test. PET scans use a radioactive tracer to detect increased metabolic activity found in cancerous growths. CT scans use computerized analysis of X-rays to detect tumors. The combined technique merges the two into a single exam, allowing doctors to see tumor anatomy and function simultaneously.
Avera St. Luke's offers VNUS® ClosureFAST, a clinically proven, minimally invasive procedure that treats varicose veins and their underlying cause, venous reflux.
Using ultrasound, the physician positions the Closure catheter into the diseased vein, through a small opening in the skin. The tiny catheter delivers radio-frequency (RF) energy to the vein wall. As the RF energy is delivered and the catheter is withdrawn, the vein wall is heated, causing the collagen in the wall to shrink and the vein to close. Once the diseased vein is closed, blood is re-routed to other healthy veins.
The most important steps in determining whether or not you may be a candidate for the procedure are to visit with your physician and/or request a venous insufficiency ultrasound study of the legs. For more information, contact Tony Kallas, Radiology operations manager, at 605-622-5071.
The hospital uses filmless radiology with the Picture Archival and Communications System (PACS). X-ray films have been replaced by digital images that are processed and stored electronically, and can be quickly retrieved and viewed on computer monitors. Viewing an X-ray had been one-dimensional; now images can be rotated, enlarged, sharpened, and seen in multi-dimensional ways.

Southeast Showdown The 7th AnnualWritten by on June 24, 2011 Always Something New at This Event!
One of the things that we magazine photographers like best is heading out to a show and finding new vehicles. We often see the same trucks, show after show, and begin to wonder if anybody is bringing out something special. Since our goal is to present you with exciting show coverage and new custom ideas, shows like the Southeast Showdown are high on our list. Show promoter Jon Fulmer continues to come up with new and innovative ideas to attract the best trucks in the area. The big cash prize for the Best Debuting Truck at the event means that drivers were burning the midnight oil to ensure that their trucks were ready for his show. It's a great idea and it works! We also saw several under construction trucks that were not completed in time for this year's show but will soon be on the road as well as in front of our cameras.
Wandering the rows of the Anderson County Fairgrounds, in Anderson, South Carolina, we enjoyed seeing the great collection of trucks like Scott Young's Torch Red '64 M-1. The lone Merc at the show, this pristine ride was motivated by a 514 crate motor, was pumping out a Corvette-challenging 600 hp. At the opposite end of the spectrum was the ride from the Team Tetanus crew. Owner Lee Mathis would caution anyone approaching his rusty ride, asking them if they've had their shots! Lots of cool engineering innovations resided underneath the rough exterior. Occupying the category right between shiny and new and rusty and dusty was Andrew Jones vintage Ford, dubbed "Last Chance". The semi-smooth '64 had a few ripples on the outside but was equipped with a high-tech air suspension with the components laid out in the bed for all to see. The high-tech theme continued under the hood with an equally unique six-cylinder motor energized by three sidedraft Weber carbs. You never know what you'll find at Southeast Showdown.
Of course, now that Hooters is a major sponsor, everyone enjoyed great food served by beautiful waitresses, providing another dimension to an already well-rounded show. The gals even participated in an onstage game of Twister, adding to the day's entertainment. Multiple after-parties Saturday night gave truckers even more options. The judging team worked hard Saturday and Sunday, culminating in the afternoon awards ceremony with the top 70 drivers receiving custom-made Plexiglas trophies. Another three dozen competitors collected specialty awards and even bigger trophies. The top debuting vehicles took home more than Plexiglas, finding $1,000 in each of their award envelopes. The Best Club Participation award went to Pebble Pushers, Negative Camber took the Vehicle Quality trophy based on the scorecards of the vehicles they entered, and Twizted Intentions took the Club Quality award.
If you like to have fun in a great location and with a great group of truckers, put the Southeast Showdown on your events calendar. The dates are July 22-24, 2011. And, if the timing is right to introduce your newest creation, you might come away from this weekend party with some extra cash in your pocket. Check out www.southeastshowdown.com for more details.
Show promoter, Jon Fulmer would like to thank the team that made it all possible, beginning with Mom and Bob, Cagney, John Jackson, Logan, and Lucas. Great sponsors also helped to make it possible. Thanks to Hooters, Palmetto Rod Worx, Stylin' Solutions, Air Zenith, PPG, Auto Body Color & Supply, Auto Extremes, and Strada Wheels. As always, a portion of the proceeds went to the End Alzheimer's Association. CCT

Hooters was an event sponsor, bringing not only good food for the more than two thousand spectators, but also serving it with the beautiful Hooters girls. Just for fun, the gals engaged in a game of Twister for the crowd. Based on the number of volunteers from the audience, we are going to need a bigger board next year!Few things attract a bigger crowd than the smell of burning rubber and clouds of white smoke in the air. Several vintage trucks held their own against modern counterparts, putting on a show for the crowd and keeping the local tire distributors open late!Sam Turner, owner of Sam's Garage in Roebuck, South Carolina, displayed his Chevrolet Five-Window, also getting close to completion. Already painted and Corvette-powered, the truck will be a trophy magnet when it's complete.Jeff Hibbs' bright red GMC debuted at the Showdown last year and came back this year to win Best Fullsize Truck.Hooters was the event sponsor, and there's just something about vintage trucks that attracts pretty girls.A member of Freedom of Expression CC in Baldwin, Georgia, Jason Shook entered his customized '72 Cheyenne C10 into the competition.Painted Fire Engine Red and rolling on 20-inch Infinity rims, the lowered truck uses a modern 350/350 powertrain.There is a lot going on with Jason Hayes and his under-construction '65 Chevy C10. Working on the truck in his spare time, Jason body dropped it one inch, Z'd the front clip four inches, and added big 22-inch rims along with a modified 350/350 power train. A ContiTech air spring suspension brings it up to drive height.
From Yorktown, Virginia, Richard Harrell displayed his conservatively customized 1974 Ford F-100, painted Dove Gray and achieving its low altitude thanks to Air Ride Technologies and DJM suspension components. The 5.0L V-8 powering the truck came from a 1994 Mustang.Event sponsor, Palmetto Rod Worx, displayed their work-in-progress, a five-window that owner/builder Chris Dunn hopes to have finished by next spring. Custom metalwork was everywhere and the future shop truck was already drawing crowds!A member of Outlaw Trucks in Hickory, North Carolina, Scott Young displayed the only Mercury at the show. Built in his garage, the highly modified Torch Red '64 M-1 is powered by an SVO crate motor, stroked to 514 CID and pumping out 600 hp. A No Limit four-bar rear and Fatman Mustang II front suspension guarantee modern handling.From Morristown, Tennessee, Seth Biggs displayed his blue and white customized 1966 Chevy C10. Custom trucks and pretty girls always make the perfect photo opportunity. That's Amy adding a bit of visual excitement.For a little change of pace, this vintage Chevrolet was done up lowrider-style. Shaved door handles, tiny spoke wheels, custom murals and pinstriping, along with a multipump hydraulic system put this one in a class by itself. Rosie Rodriguez is the owner.While it might look like it's under construction, if you chat with owner Andrew Jones about his vintage Ford, he will tell you that it is "Done and Done!" Equipped with a high-tech air suspension and a straight-six motor fed with three sidedraft Weber carbs, the '64 is named Last Chance.
Half the fun of getting a trophy was having it presented to you by one of the beautiful Hooters girls. The custom-made Plexiglas trophies were made by show promoter Jon Fulmer.

Tampa, Florida (WTSP) -- An internet café seemed to be the perfect meeting spot for an interview with a local internet sensation.
In this day and age, a funny YouTube video, an appealing photo or a comical internet meme can reach millions in a matter of minutes, and in most cases, that's the motive.
But, in the case of Meagan from Zephyrhills, FL, it was the complete opposite when her booking photo was dubbed "most beautiful mug", and went viral as a meme for many to see.
On popular sites such as the Chive and Reddit, Meagan is pictured in an orange jumpsuit- eyes slightly glassy, cheeks and nose a tinge of pink from tears shed, but looking beautiful nonetheless.
The photo is her nearly three-year-old mug shot, taken after a Driving Under the Influence arrest on July 25, 2010.
According to Meagan, she was ashamed of what happened, but figured since she spent only eight hours in jail, and had the charge dropped to reckless driving, it was not that big of a deal.
"The picture was out there, and of course people in my town knew what happened and looked at it, but that was that," Meagan explains during our chat at the cafe. "It was never really thought of again- you know, I didn't really think about it."
That's how she felt up until a couple of days ago, when she says friends broke the news that the photo resurfaced with some minor changes, and had become the talk of the town...and many, many other towns.
Creative sayings like "Can I have her cell number" and "Wanted...in 50 states" are just two of the alleged 280 phrases stamped across the photo in big, block letters.
The memes have gone global, causing people from places as far as Norway and Australia to reach out to Meagan. And while some have kept it kind and flattering, the inclusion of her address in the public record has caused some to cross over to creepy.
"People are really weird. They stalk you, they message you, they say crazy things," says Meagan. "They know where I live. People are talking about flying to Zephyrhills, visiting me, marrying me. People on Twitter have even offered to pay my bills."
Others keep it curious with questions about how prison was, or "is", depending on whether or not they're aware that she didn't even spend the night in jail, let alone serve time for the reckless driving charge.
Meagan's main concern, though, has to do with the fact that her life has changed drastically since the arrest. In addition to being a medical assistant, she says she is a mother of four, and that she worries for their safety.
"It was nice and funny at first, and then it started getting scary because my address is on there," explains Meagan. "It's scary when people message you talking about coming to your house and what your house looks like. It's getting to the point where it's not funny [because] I have four little people to worry about, not just myself."
Meagan hopes those who see the meme can now take it for what it is- a photo of a girl who made a mistake years ago, and has since made positive changes to live a better life.

Bosses of TV drama "Dallas" are paying tribute to the late Larry Hagman with a new brand of liquor named after his iconic character J.R. Ewing.
The veteran actor passed away in November, 2012 after a battle with cancer, and to honor Hagman and his lasting legacy, show executives have teamed up with three Dallas, Texas-based bottling companies to create J.R. Ewing Bourbon, the character's drink of choice.
The four-year-old, 80 percent proof liquor is distilled in Kentucky and the glass container features a screen-printed image of the Ewings' iconic home of Southfork Ranch.
J.R. Ewing Bourbon will initially be released in 14 states in the U.S., to coincide with the third-season premiere of Dallas on Feb. 24, before a planned international sale by the end of the year.

Despite suffering back-to-back losses to Cyrille Diabate and Antonio Rogerio Nogueira, Brazilian slugger Luiz Cane (11-3 MMA, 4-3 UFC) was presented with a brand-new UFC contract in the summer of 2010.
When he walked to the cage at this past month's UFC 128 event, he knew it meant little if he didn't get back into the win column.
"About two weeks after my loss to Diabate, the UFC renewed my contract, but I knew that another loss would cost me my job," Cane told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) through his manager and interpreter, Alex Davis.
It was a difficult period for Cane. Prior to the consecutive defeats, the Muay Thai specialist's only other career loss came via disqualification after blasting James Irvin with an illegal kick. But after rattling off wins over Jason Lambert, Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou and Steve Cantwell, things took an abrupt turn for the worse.
"I was not as focused as I am now," Cane admitted. "I don't take the merit away from Rogerio or Cyrille. They were better on those nights than I was.
"It was a very tough period, but there was a positive side: I really matured during this time. I corrected everything that was not working in my career. I think the bad times made me into a better person and athlete."
Cane says he used the setbacks as a time for reflection. Rather than diving further into the downward spiral, the 30-year-old made changes in his mental and physical approach to fighting.
"In July, I moved to The Armory, and we were even considering dropping to 185 pounds, but we reached the conclusion that it was not the best time for such a change," Cane said. "As soon as I was able to start back training, we began a seven-month program, just working on basics, and I have never felt better or calmer for a fight in my life.
"Along with my trainers, I focused on my basic technique in all areas. It was seven months of hard work, doing physical prep with Joe Mullings, working my striking with Mohamed Ouali – which really brought my striking to a new level – jiu-jitsu with Rodrigo Cavaca, Eduardo Guedes, Raphael Chaves, 'Buchecha' and 'Palito,' wrestling with Tim Bones. In sparring, I sparred with heavier guys, but I also worked with lighter guys like Edson Barboza, Marlon Moraes and R.J. Goodridge, which really improved my speed. It was just 7 months of very hard work."
Of course, before Cane finally made the long walk to the octagon at UFC 128, there was one more change. Originally expected to face Karlos Vemola, Cane would see a late injury allow Eliot Marshall to step in instead.
"Banha" said it hardly mattered.
"The change did not bother me in the least," Cane said. "All I wanted was to fight anyone, as soon as possible."
Cane turned in one of his best octagon performances to date and battered Marshall from the opening bell. The end came a little more than two minutes into the first round, and the once-feared slugger was back to vintage form.
Cane said the change is permanent, and he's ready to once again climb his way up the UFC's light heavyweight ranks.
"I really don't know where I stand in the 205-pound division," Cane admitted. "All I know is that I will work very hard to someday become UFC champ. I know I have a long path in front of me, but I think I am very blessed to be where I am right now, and I thank God for that.
"I want to thank God, my family, my training partners, The Armory, and all my fans for all the love and support. I don't ever pick my opponents, but I took just one week off after my win before I went immediately back to training. I'm hungry for more, and I will be ready when Joe Silva calls."
