LAUCK - Iberville Parish Sheriff's Deputy James Washington keeps an eye out for trouble Tuesday as students change classes at Plaquemine High School. Washington, who serves as the lone school resource officer for Iberville Parish public schools, said he treats the high school as if he were on patrol in a city neighborhood. Advocate staff photo by BILL FEIG -- School resource officer and Denham Springs Police Sgt. Paul Golmon, right, chats with school secretary Mary Kay LeCoq during a patrol of the Denham Springs Junior High on Jan. 14. Golmon patrols eight schools in Denham Springs and has worked as a school resource officer for 12 years. Advocate story Comments School leaders in Louisiana, debating how best to address school safety after the shooting deaths of 26 adults and children at Sandy Hook Elementary, are calling for more trained school security officers, technology limiting access to school buildings and more tools to help law enforcement respond more effectively. A small but vocal group of political leaders and gun rights advocates, though, wants to include training school staff, in addition to security officers, to have guns at the ready. They say schools can't wait for law enforcement to arrive when there's a shooting, that more adults at schools should be armed to prevent tragedy. The prospect of more guns in schools has raised concerns among many educators, especially if those armed don't receive extensive training. And limited school funding, and the prospect of more budget cuts, is making it hard to pay for even modest improvements in school security. President Barack Obama has offered his initial response to the killings in Newtown, Conn., calling for a more robust federal background check system, active-shooter training for schools and emergency responders, incentives for hiring school resource officers, model emergency response plans for public institutions and national dialogues on mental health and responsible gun ownership. States, including Louisiana, are still determining what to do. Gov. Bobby Jindal has created a 13-member study group to examine the issue, but the group has yet to meet. Meanwhile, the Louisiana House Select Committee on Homeland Security met on the issue, focusing primarily on the quality of current crisis intervention plans and the benefits of having armed resource officers on campus. The discussion, however, also touched on the merits of arming teachers, adding more features such as dead bolts on classroom doors and security cameras throughout campuses, as well as stepping up anti-bullying and counseling programs for students. Although school shootings involving multiple victims get the most media attention, such incidents are rare. They accounted for fewer than a quarter — 102 of 468 — of all school-associated violent deaths nationwide between 1992 and 2010, according to a report from the National School Safety Center, an independent nonprofit. Of the other violent deaths during that 18-year span, 246 involved single-shooting victims, while the remaining 120 resulted from stabbings, beatings, hangings, strangling or some other cause, according to the report. Nonfatal on-campus victimizations, such as theft, rape or physical attack, are vastly more common. In 2010, the federal government counted 828,000 nonfatal incidents among students age 12 to 18. About 91,000 were considered serious, which includes rape, aggravated assault and robbery. By contrast, only 33 students and staff were killed on campus in 2010. But even one death is too many, Denham Springs police Sgt. Paul Golmon said. "Compare the number of fire- or weather-related deaths we have in schools each year — which is virtually none — and the amount we spend preparing for that versus what we spend on securing our campuses," Golmon said. "How much is your child's life worth?" Golmon has served as a school resource officer in Denham Springs schools for 12 years. School resource officers — law enforcement officers assigned to a school or group of schools full-time — assist school personnel and students with a wide variety of issues, including campus violence, drugs, truancy and general safety measures. As the only resource officer assigned to the eight schools within Denham Springs, Golmon said, he often works four 10-hour days in the schools in addition to other weekend assignments for the department. He is based primarily at Denham Springs Junior High but makes frequent trips to the other schools in the city. Adding at least one and preferably two more resource officers in Denham Springs would help tremendously, he said, but the department has not been able to afford it. Golmon's position was originally funded through a U.S. Department of Justice grant, but those funds stopped after a few years, he said. Some school systems, however, have managed to increase their security. The Iberville Parish School Board earlier this month agreed to spend $150,000 more a year to hire three more resource officers to patrol 10 schools. The parish Sheriff's Office will train three deputies for the task. The Iberville school district currently has one such officer, James Washington, stationed at the district's biggest school, Plaquemine High. With 850 students to watch, Washington tries to mix it up as he makes his rounds. He parks in different places each day. He varies his path, going to different halls in the high school at different times. As he's walking, like a behavioral researcher, he scans the students he passes, looking for signs of things amiss. Students at Plaquemine High all use laptop computers and most have cellphones. There's a constant invisible drama of texts and posts on social media sites that Washington tries to keep abreast of, in hopes of heading off trouble. He's the only person on campus with a gun. He said he's never needed to pull his Glock pistol from its holster since coming to the high school. Even so, many students, especially younger ones, want to know about it and touch it. "There are a lot definitely fascinated by what kind of gun, what kind of power it's got," he said. "That's quite honestly the question I'm most asked by the kids." The prospect of having more adults carrying guns on campus worries him. Administrators and teachers have many other duties and can't focus solely on school security as he can. They also lack the extensive weapons training he has. "If you get in an altercation, can you deal with that altercation and keep control of your weapon?" Washington asked. He also worries about educators and staff making bad judgments in a crisis. "If you're not trained to deal with it, how can you assess what is dangerous or what is not?" he asked. Financial concerns Prior to Sandy Hook, partly in response to the weak economy, many school districts cut back on school security. The National Association of School Resource Officers estimates about 7,000 are at work across the country, roughly half as many as before the economic downturn, an estimate based on attendance at the organization's annual conventions. Many educators say federal funding sources also have dwindled. Bossier Parish school officials echoed that sentiment when they spoke to the Louisiana House Select Committee on Homeland Security. Bossier Parish schools employ 13 resource officers for 14 campuses at a cost of about $1 million per year, Security Director Danny Dison told the committee. The district would like to add resource officers in the parish's 19 elementary schools, but the move would cost an additional $2 million a year, he said. The district received a $460,000 federal grant in 2009 to implement a comprehensive emergency plan and train school leaders, but those were one-time funds, Dison said. East Baton Rouge Parish schools also received a federal grant in 2009, followed by Livingston, Lafourche, Ouachita and Caddo parishes in 2010, the last year such funds were awarded, according to the U.S. Education Department's website. Livingston Parish officials, like those in Iberville Parish, are being forced to look locally as they weigh how to increase school security. The idea is to add four or five more school resource officers in addition to the three officers currently patrolling Denham Springs, Walker and Watson schools, Superintendent John Watson said. The district has been in discussions with the Livingston Parish Sheriff's Office. While student enrollment continues to grow in Livingston, the added state financial aid resulting from that is offset by other factors, Watson said. "We do have financial concerns due to the projections for continued flat or even decreasing funding from the state, plus the increased mandates regarding retirement contributions and some other things," he said. Scott Richard, president of the Louisiana School Boards Association, echoed the sentiment among many at the House committee meeting in saying that schools need more funding to expand their security efforts. The last thing districts need is another unfunded mandate, he said. New federal assistance appears to be on the way. One of Obama's executive actions calls for a new school safety program with $150 million to hire resource officers, school psychologists, social workers and counselors. The money also could be used to buy school safety equipment, develop and update public safety plans, conduct threat assessments and train crisis intervention teams. Arming school staff The financial uncertainty is one reason some groups and policy makers are advocating for cheaper but more controversial solutions, namely arming teachers, administrators or other school staff. State Rep. Greg Cromer, R-Slidell, said that while he supports the idea of having a resource officer in every school, he doesn't think schools can afford it. At the House committee meeting, Cromer brought up the idea of arming teachers, saying, "I know these aren't their normal roles, but these aren't normal times." In a later interview, he said he had no plans to offer legislation allowing the practice and wants to see what committee chairman Rep. John Schroder, R-Covington, proposes first. "I do believe there are teachers out there who would arm themselves if given the training and had the opportunity to do so, and I don't think we should put the brakes on that," Cromer said. At Hosanna Christian Academy, a private school in Baton Rouge, Principal Josh LeSage made news soon after the Connecticut shooting when he said publicly he was considering allowing one of his administrators to carry a gun. LeSage said the administrator in question, the school's dean of students, retired from the U.S. Air Force and has training in firearms but needs to undergo a refresher course. LeSage considers this a special case, however, because of the dean's familiarity with guns and the fact that the school, built decades ago, has many entry points, making it hard to secure. "We would certainly never, ever allow teachers to have guns," LeSage said. Steve Monaghan, president of the Louisiana Federation of Teachers, said the roles of educator and enforcement authority are distinctly different. "You can't make one the other," he said. After the Connecticut shooting, the union posted a safety and violence survey on its website aimed at soliciting feedback from its more than 21,000 members across the state, a survey it plans to keep online until the start of the Legislative session. Monaghan told the House homeland security committee at its Jan. 17 meeting that few of the nearly 1,000 people responding to the survey at that time even mentioned carrying a gun on campus. About 69 percent of those surveyed said yes to the question, "Do you believe the presence of an armed security person is necessary on your campus?" Pat Cooper, superintendent of Lafayette Parish public schools, said he doesn't know a single superintendent who thinks arming teachers is a good idea. "To me, it just means you give more opportunities for students to get a hold of these guns and for accidents to happen," Cooper said. After Sandy Hook, the National Rifle Association publicly called for having a resource or law enforcement officer in every school and for arming additional school personnel and even volunteers. Some educators express more openness to placing guns in the hands of educators, but typically in limited circumstances. William Dodson is a former superintendent of public schools in Pearl, Miss., a suburb of Jackson, and now runs his own educational consulting business. He was the superintendent on Oct. 1, 1997, when 16-year-old Luke Woodham burst into Pearl High School and killed two students, while also injuring seven others. Drawing from that experience, Dodson wrote a book in 2009 called "If Only I Had Known: The Life-Saving Solution that Thousands Have Used to Stop School Massacres." Dodson noted the high school's then-assistant principal, Joel Myrick, helped stop the carnage that day, but Dodson considers Myrick a special case. "I am not opposed to some handguns being on campus that are in the possession of a law enforcement officer or someone like our Joel Myrick, who was in the National Guard and grabbed his gun from his truck and used it to help apprehend Luke," Dodson wrote in his book. Dodson, however, stops short of advocating that anyone who has a permit to carry a gun be allowed to do so on campus. "Purely from a tactical perspective, it's difficult for the untrained to successfully shoot an assailant, and it would be a nightmare for law enforcement arriving on a scene to determine who is and isn't the shooter," Dodson wrote. A different approach Lafayette Parish has been pursuing a different approach, beginning well before Newtown. The school district is teaming up with local law enforcement to spend $2.1 million over the next year, and more going forward, to add nine administrators and security staff to its largest high schools and an alternative school. Only one of those positions would be an armed resource officer. The new spending also involves new cameras and alarm systems, plus new servers to ensure more Internet bandwidth, for all 42 parish schools, though the school district has yet to identify where the money will come from. Superintendent Cooper said the new cameras would be accessible to Lafayette Police, unlike current cameras, some of which no longer work. The plan also involves installing new automatic locking doors, he said. In the future, Lafayette school officials will look at better fencing and creating more secure school entrances, Cooper said. He also said the state needs to reconsider its cutbacks to mental health services. "The truth of the matter is if someone really wants to come in and shoot someone, they're going to do it," Cooper said. "What we need are some things to delay it, and have tools to let people know what's happening." Patrick Dobard is superintendent of the state-run Recovery School District, which oversees most public schools in New Orleans, as well as a handful in Baton Rouge and other parts of the state. Dobard said he's had schools review their procedures. He also noted that New Orleans school security personnel in February plan to participate in training offered by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security on how to deal with an "active shooter threat." Overall, Dobard said, the schools in New Orleans already have good plans in place. "Unfortunately, we have a high murder rate and incident rate, so we've had to be prepared," he said. Melanie Verges, superintendent of Catholic schools in the Diocese of Baton Rouge, said the diocese updated its crisis manual a year ago, and in the wake of the Sandy Hook shooting, principals are looking again at their school-level plans. She said Catholic Mutual, which provides property insurance for Catholic schools, is helping show principals best practices and is available for security audits if necessary. Verges also said schools are asking parents and others to look at their schools with fresh eyes for possible vulnerabilities. "You want the campus to be a place where students feel safe, but are free to learn as well, so you have to balance that out," Verges said. St. Helena Parish schools Superintendent Kelli Joseph said the district's newest tax, passed in November, will help make facility improvements possible, but one area that needs attention is character development and counseling for students. "Having more counselors, as well as teachers the students trust enough to go to with their problems, would help prevent bigger issues from arising," Joseph said. "Counselors just don't have enough time to do that right now because they're stretched so thin." With the Internet and social networking sites, off-campus conflicts get brought onto school grounds, she said. "Teachers used to see those bullying notes get passed in class. Now they're being posted on some kid's Facebook page, and the teachers get blindsided by a dispute they didn't see coming," she said. And, Joseph said, more has to be done to encourage active engagement by families outside the school. "I know you can't legislate good parenting, but something on that end has to be done," she said.

Well, if our community begins to expand of course.
You know how drama is great? Well I thought of the idea of having Guilds on PD would be so cool. People joining guilds and then all going against each other. All guilds could do different things and like different stuff and then guilds could bitch about each other. It would be great.
Of course 'Guild' wouldn't have to be the name. Faction would be more appropriate.

text: SHEDDING:Hair today, gone tomorrow! Long hair, short hair, big dog, small dog – it doesn't matter what kind you have, apart from a couple of breeds that notoriously don't shed, most dogs do! Groomers will tell you that shedding is natural and there's nothing much you can do about it, and to a degree they are absolutely right. But while it is hard to prevent shedding all together, there's a lot you can do to cut back on the majority of the excess hair in your house, car, on your clothes, and on dad's favorite chair! Taking your pet to a groomer on a regular basis helps enormously, as the bathing clears away their dead skin and hair; tailor-made blowers remove their stubborn undercoat; and they get brushed-out properly. But if you can only make the groom shop every so often, or you enjoy taking care of your baby yourself, there's a lot you can do at home. Start out with a good natural shampoo – your groomer should be able to recommend one. You can even get waterless varieties if bathing is difficult. Getting the right brush is key, and there are plenty designed specifically just for de-shedding. If a thick undercoat is the problem, professional-style blowers are available for home-use now – be warned, though, hair will fly everywhere! Be extra careful with temperature control, and protect your pet's eyes, ears, and other delicate areas at all times with your hands. When your little one's been through all that, it's treat time, of course. So round the whole event off by giving her a variety that actually helps with shedding – yes, you can even get these too! – W Dunham CUSTOMER COMMENTS:"Yesterday I purchased the small furminator. Have tried it on my 2 Jack Russells. WOW! Great grooming tool! It is truly amazing as to how this actually works. And the dogs really appear to appreciate and like the grooming session. Best [investment] I have ever spent on grooming aids. I have had dogs, both large and small, for 45 years now. Sure wish the furminator was available 45 years ago. I shall recommend it to all my pet loving friends and family. Thank you for creating such a great product." - Amy H.

The fight between the Green Bay Packers and the Pittsburgh Steelers isn't just on the field in Super Bowl XLV. Apparently, the fight is off the field too.
According to online reports, Packers lineman Clay Matthews and his golden locks landed an one-year hair endorsement deal for Suave. This deal puts him in place to rival the NFL's most famous hair belonging to Steelers safety Troy Polamalu. Polamalu is the spokesman for Head and Shoulders and his locks are insured for $1 million.
Matthews had been publicly campaigning for a "hair-raising" endorsement opportunity, "I've been throwing it out there and just getting shunned," Matthews said on Monday. "I don't know what it is…America, I'm looking for a hair deal."
Alrighty then Clay Matthews. Congratulations.
For now, Troy Polamalu still has one of the funniest commercials. Enjoy.

After years of speculation about when it would finally happen, Microsoft is releasing a version of Office for Apple's iOS today. And it's free...sort of.
I got a brief peek at the Office suite app running on an iPhone this week, and we will be downloading the app from Apple's iTunes store as soon as it's available for a full review. But from my brief preview, it's clear that this may not be exactly what some Office users were waiting for. That's because of two very big caveats about Office for iOS: it requires a subscription license of Office through Office 365, and it's optimized specifically for iPhone (sorry, iPad). The iWork team at Apple can breathe a collective sigh of relief.
But if you've already bought into Microsoft's vision for Office in the cloud and have subscriptions to Office 365 Home Premium, ProPlus, or an Office 365 Enterprise license that includes the Office desktop suite, then the new iPhone app is still a big bonus. It doesn't take up one of the 5 device license slots that a full copy on a PC does, and it provides most of the functionality of Office Mobile apps on Windows Phone 8.
Office Mobile is tied into the SkyDrive associated with a user's Office 365 credentials, so it's automatically in sync with content in the cloud. It also automatically associates with Office document files on iOS devices, so users can open and edit file attachments from Mail and save them back to the cloud or mail them back. Office Mobile allows you to create new documents or open existing ones, either by browsing folders in SkyDrive or by finding them through a recent files list (which synchronizes with your recent files from desktop applications).
At first blush, Office Mobile seems to be a good first step into iOS for Office. There's clearly been some hedging by Microsoft on the capability of the mobile app, however. The lack of an iPad-optimized version will peeve some users, obviously (you can't exactly run a presentation on an iPad in iPhone resolution, for example, which may keep Apple Keynote sales up). But creating a full-resolution Office Mobile app for iPad would probably cause problems for Microsoft's efforts to sell the Surface RT.
There's no word yet on an Office Mobile for Android. But it's a safe bet that Microsoft is at least preparing for that option.
After you install Office Mobile, you'll get a similar, mobile-friendly version of the install introduction from the full Office 2013.
After you install Office Mobile, you'll get a similar, mobile-friendly version of the install introduction from the full Office 2013.
Once it's got all the introductions out of the way, Office Mobile prompts you for your existing Office 365 credentials, or politely directs you to a page where you can buy a license.
You get the rights to 5 mobile devices with a Home Premium subscription (not counting Windows Phone, which comes with the Office Mobile app installed), in addition to the full client on 5 PCs and Macs. Mac users get Office 2011 for Mac OS X.
If you purchase an Office subscription plan in-app, you'll need to create a Microsoft ID.
Once you've got the whole Office subscription thing out of the way, sign in with your credentials and you're on your way.
The "Recent" navigation view gives a time-based view of the files you've touched in Office. You can also go hunting through your SkyDrive folders.
Big on readability, Word has viewer and editor modes for documents, so you can just navigate through to review or...
...you can get in there and change the content. I recommend light edits on the phone. You could run this on the iPad in blown-up view if you're keen on preserving your eyesight.
You can edit cells in spreadsheets, and even add charts.
Here's the slide sorter view in PowerPoint. PowerPoint is more powerful than you'd think on the iPhone. You can edit speaker notes and text in files; there's even a presentation rehearsal mode that you can run the app on in portrait orientation—the slide is shown on top, and the notes below.

Your Sister's Sister from writer/director Lynn Shelton deals in well-observed details and authentic voices.
If a Hollywood studio had produced this film, it might have cast Reese Witherspoon or Rachel McAdams, thrown in Channing Tatum, and had the script re-worked by a bevy of quippy writers. Fortunately for us, Shelton kept things intimate, working extensively on character and backstory with a hand-picked cast. Despite a gimmicky premise, the end result has more in common with a quirky Mike Leigh film than a glossy rom-com.
Emily Blunt, who seems to become more enjoyable with each of her roles, stars as Iris, who we first meet at the one-year memorial for ex-boyfriend Tom. Her best friend Jack (Mark Duplass), Tom's brother, is still grieving. After this opening scene (which is funnier than you might expect), Iris encourages the unemployed Jack to spend some time at her family's lakeside cottage. Finding Iris's sister Hannah (Rosemary Dewitt) already there, Jack settles in to a night of drinking and commiserating with Hanna about her recently ended lesbian relationship. One thing leads to another and the next morning, Hannah and Jack face the cold light of day as well as the unexpected arrival of Iris.
At this point, this gentle comedy becomes a piece of well-crafted theatre with the three main characters as points of a triangle—sharing, concealing, confiding and dissembling as their intentions become apparent. Blunt and Dewitt have a sisterly ease together (all the more remarkable given that Dewitt came late to the project, replacing Rachel Weisz), while Duplass, best known for his mumblecore movies, makes the most of his comedic chops without compromising his leading man charm.
Shelton skillfully progresses the story with excitement talky action even as the characters never stray from the cabin and its stunning Pacific Northwest surroundings. As counter programming to the summer onslaught of mega-budget blockbusters, this incisive indie film should be be a hit with thoughtful filmgoers.

CLEVELAND – Fifth graders from Homecroft Elementary will have a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame educational program delivered right to their classroom. Using a high-tech, fully interactive videoconferencing system, these students will learn how key moments in rock and roll history have helped to shape the world. Their teachers will be in Cleveland.
On Wednesday, May 14, at 9:15 a.m. and 10 a.m. EST, John Goehrke, an educator at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum, will be beamed into Homecroft Elementary School for the hour-long music education session.
Goehrke will be talking to approximately 60 fifth graders about how rock and roll has made history in a course called Great Moments in Rock and Roll: Popular Music Through the Decades. The students will actively participate in discussions about shifting cultural values, conceptions of equality and political activism. They'll also learn how Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductees have used music to bring about important changes in the world around them. The class is focused on key historical moments such as: Elvis Presley's early national television appearances in 1956, the 1963 March on Washington, the 1969 Woodstock music and arts festival, the birth of MTV in 1981 and the fusion of rock and hip-hop in the 1986 video for "Walk This Way."

Emailed to change an order today, and they had it changed within 15 minutes!
MidwayUSA still hasn't emailed me back. :rofl:
Cheaper than dirt package arrived empty. Called them two weeks ago, Customer Service was supposed to call back, but hasn't yet. I'm sure they will make good on it when they get a chance, but it was scary to see that somewhere between there and here, the UPS box had been opened and the bullets and paperwork removed, and it was resealed.
I would also contact UPS and ask them about it. there are numbers on the packages that indicate what is in the package, this applies to firearms, ammo, and hazaredious materials. the truck loaders know these codes. there have been many Incedents where ups employees have been arrested for stealing firearms and ammo. So my guess would be that your package was opened for inspection or someone got light fingered. I have had companies forget an item or send the wrong item. But I have never received an empty package. Hope you get your order ,,,,,,Doc
None of this has to do anything with the thread.
First post and it is so far off topic as to be unrecognizable.
Will, you are truly a winner in every regard.
Thanks Doc. I got contacted by Cheaper than Dirt today, and hopefully something will get moving now. I have been considering reporting it directly to UPS, especially since it was bullets. Talked with them informally while picking up a package, but haven't formalized anything yet.
The box was clearly marked small arms ordinance, was left at front door. Got another one from them, and it was taped closed at the origin with security tape. It said 'do not accept if this tape has been cut'. Wish they would use that on all the boxes. It is quite helpful to be able to buy this stuff on the internet, and hopefully the problems can be minimized.
I usually track my packages so I can be here to receive them in person. Ordered a 6.5 X55 Lother Walther barrel and it was shipped UPS. Noticed box was light weight. Cut open and saw it was empty. Driver said had been having trouble at a hub (Charlotte N.C. I think) where contract labor was used. I was reimbursed but it was the last barrel in that caliber the shipper had.
Anyone who responds in 15 minutes is very responsive...

Assuming the spots aren't scaly or itchy, which could be a sign of eczema, chances are you're experiencing a form of hypopigmentation known as idiopathic guttate hypomelano-sis, or IGH. Worry not: It's actually extremely common, especially on the shins and arms. While the exact cause isn't known, most dermatologists believe that sun damage is a contributing factor. First step: Slather on sunscreen and avoid prolonged sun exposure to prevent further damage, says Robert Anolik, MD, a Manhattan-based cosmetic dermatologist. (Besides, the white spots won't tan, so if the rest of your skin gets darker, you risk exaggerating their appearance. Self-tanner won't help either; it doesn't adhere to the white spots.) There's no sure-fire cure for IGH, but lasers may help. "The excimer laser, which is used for vitiligo, can stimulate the cells that make pigment," Anolik says. "Another option is the Fraxel Dual, which helps normalize pigment." Both lasers may involve numerous treatments and can cost several thousand dollars when all is said and done. And you should plan on one to two weeks of flaking after each session.
I was worried that the raised spot on my face was skin cancer. Good news: It's not. Bad news: It's a skin tag. What do I do now?
Skin tags, which are small pieces of extra flesh, are benign lesions that are typically a by-product of age, pregnancy or changes in hormone levels. They are most common in areas that chafe (e.g., folds in saggy skin). There's really nothing you can do to prevent tags, and some people seem to be genetically predisposed to them. But relax: They're harmless, though you should always check with a doctor about any new ones. On the brighter side, because skin tags don't have nerves, the dermatologist should be able to easily freeze them and snip them off.

Packers hold two youth camps in Northwoods
Submitted: 05/17/2013
Story By Joe Dufek
- The Packers made it a great day for two elementary schools in the Northwoods.
On Thursday in Wabeno, the Packers were holding a kids football camp. It's called the Youth Football Outreach camp. About 120 kids from Wabeno Elementary took part. Another 70 from Robinson Elementary in Laona held a camp in the afternoon.
Kids were diving, catching passes, running - simply having a great time.
"I think it's great we get to get out of school on a nice day and do this," said Wabeno sixth grader Bob Brauer. "Like my caoch said, 'You can hit somebody and your mom can't yell at you.'"
Melissa Peters, a teacher in the Wabeno school district explains how she helped bring the Packers to Wabeno two years ago.
"Laona (School) and I got together two years ago," says Peters. "Got to do it. Then had the chance to do it again. It's awesome."
It was part of the NFL's Play 60 program. It's meant to fight against childhood obesity.
The camp is expected to return in Wabeno and Laona in two years.

Volunteers Document Wildlife

- You don't expect to see crowds in secluded parts of Iron County, but loons tend to be a big draw.
"There's a lot of people who have had interest in loon research," said DNR wildlife biologist John Olson.
"Monitor change overtime in the wildlife population here in the Turtle Flambeau Flowage. Are loons increasing or staying stable or decreasing the numbers of breeding pair?" said retired wildlife biologist, Bruce Bacon.
The community has shown interest in the animal and with the research collected, the volunteers can maintain a steady population of loons in the water.
"Over the years, there have been a number of people who have done real exciting loon work up here," said Olson.
Over the last few surveys, the DNR have decided to expand its research to all wildlife in water and on land, not just the loons.
"The survey has developed into being more all-inclusive of any wildlife we see out here. Especially breeding birds," said Olson.
Some animals seen on Friday include a deer and her fawn, ducks, geese, eagles, ospreys, and of course multiple loons.
The Turtle Flambeau Flowage is a total of 14,000 acres. Individual volunteers maintain the area year round. If they notice a home or shelter destroyed, they will help start a new one for the animals.
"It's rewarding to see a place like the Turtle Flambeau Flowage in Wisconsin and this monitoring gives us a sense of how to monitor and protect it," said Bacon.
Overall, the goal for the group is to collect data on the animals and maintain that number to keep the Northwoods booming with wildlife.
The power of volunteerism was in full effect on Friday. Six boats covered all 14,000 acres of the Turtle Flambeau Flowage.

The recently turned 82-year-old spends his days in the Portage County Skilled Nursing Facility during his weekly visit from family often admiring the oil paintings he once crafted.

Tickets will become available to Rock Hall Members on Thursday, February 7 at 10 a.m. EST and will become available to the general public on Friday, February 8 at 10 a.m. EST.
This event is free with a reservation at http://tickets.rockhall.com or in-person at the Rock Hall Box Office.
Bobby Massey is a founding member of Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductees the O'Jays. The O'Jays' story began in the late Fifties when Eddie Levert and Walter Williams began singing gospel on a radio station in their hometown of Canton, Ohio. Joined by fellow high-schoolers William Powell, Bobby Massey and Bill Isles, they became the Triumphs, an R&B vocal group, in 1959. Their popularity as a live act got them signed to Syd Nathan's King label, where they released a pair of singles as the Mascots.
They were then taken under the wing of Cleveland disc jockey Eddie O'Jay and renamed the O'Jays – a name that stuck. The O'Jays spent much of the Sixties on the Imperial and Bell labels, enjoying chart success on the R&B side with such hits as "Stand in For Love" (#12) and "I'll Be Sweeter Tomorrow (Than I Was Today)" (#8). The group's fortunes took a leap when they met producers Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff backstage at Harlem's Apollo Theater in 1968. The O'Jays signed to the duo's fledgling Neptune label, for which they recorded seven singles, including the R&B hit "One Night Affair" (#15).
Massey left the group in 1971, shortly before the group signed to Gamble and Huff's Philadelphia International label. He has since retired from performing and has established several recording companies to promote and nurture the talents of young artists. Bobby designed the "Back 2 Basics" program to help our children develop into responsible, well mannered, successful adults. Massey is also the President / CEO of Mass Network, a business development and consulting company whose goals are to make resources available to small, minority business organizations in order to realize maximum growth potential. Because of his many successes, Bobby is dedicated to giving back to his community and the world at large.
Bobby Massey was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2005.
This event will also be streamed live on rockhall.com.

Loudwire.com has posted its Top 10 Megadeth Songs list. "Many of the songs you'll find in this Top 10 are classics and fan favorites from Megadeth's first few albums, which simply can't be ignored. However, we don't just stop there. Much like Megadeth did, this lists busts out of the 1980s with time-tested masterworks that survived the grunge explosion and carved through the mainstream on quality alone."

dirrrty: use -p to chomp automatically, substitute all newlines away and then replace the "---" by a newline ? bingo!
s/// => s/// is just a cooler way to write s///, s/// which is just the small brother of s///; s/// (comma is an operator!)
have fun!
the output of svn log is annoying to grep, since it spreads the useful info over multiple lines. This compacts the output down to one line so eg you can grep for a comment and see the rev, date & committer straight away.
Updated: MUCH shorter, easier to remember. Now it just replaces newlines with spaces, except on '---' lines.
Helps if you accidentally deleted files from an svn repo with plain rm and you would like to mark them for svn to delete too.
otherwise you get this error message:
svn: Can't move '.svn/tmp/entries' to '.svn/entries': Operation not permitted
Fetch comical VC commit messages from whatthecommit.com
Requires html2text. Print bad, but often funny commit messages from whatthecommit.com
DO NOT RUN this command! THIS WILL CHECK IN ALL CHANGES IN THE CURRENT DIRECTORY TO SUBVERSION WITH A TERRIBLE COMMIT MESSAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DON'T DO IT! YOU'VE BEEN WARNED!
Fetch comical VC commit messages from whatthecommit.com
The result of this command is a tar with all files that have been modified/added since revision 1792 until HEAD. This command is super useful for incremental releases.
Kudos to xakon.
M - current revision, N - older revision
Let's supose some moron used some m$ shit to commit to a later svnsynced repo. On a svn sync all his message logs cause a svnsync: Error setting property 'log': this commands finds all its contributions and fix all his commit logs
This will recursively add files/directories in SVN.
svnradd yourfile
svnradd yourdirectory
svn commit
Notice: It might not work properly, and not all files could get added.
Since there is a limit on characters, I couldn't add failure/success notices.
If you want failure/success notices, download Terminal Enhancements (http://tenhancements.tk/ )
It is included on Base Features
This should handle whitespaces well and will not get confused if your filenames have "?" in them
list top committers (and number of their commits) of svn repository.
in this example it counts revisions of current directory.
Standard command, but I always have to search for it... ;-)
When working on a big proeject with SVN, you create quite much files, for now! Can just sit here and type svn add for all of them!
svn status will return a list of all of file which get ?(not add), "M"(Modified), "D"(Deleted)! This code just grep "?" flag, then add it into SVN again!
This command can be used to revert a particular changeset in the local copy.
I find this useful because I frequently import files into the wrong directory. After the import it says "Committed revision 123" or similar. to revert this change in the working copy do:
svn merge -c -123 .
(don't forget the .) and then commit.

French Connection
The delights of French cuisine, wine and spirits took center stage at Passport to France, the French-American Chamber of Commerce of Chicago's 29th annual cultural celebration at the Union League Club. Twenty top chefs, including Martial Noguier of Bistronomic and Carrie Nahabedian of Naha and Brindille, prepared their favorite French-inspired dishes for some 900 Francophiles, while dozens of elite importers and vendors enticed passersby with tempting displays of libations, cheeses, confections and more. White Label DJs Sadie and Madrid added to the festive atmosphere as guests indulged to their hearts' content. –Photos by Paul Strabbing

I never do this, but I really enjoyed the article "The Caregiver Chronicles." Please continue including this type of quality article in the future. It was a really nice read while I enjoyed a relaxing bubble bath.
--Melody D. Deakin, Oak Ridge, TN
In response to your April cover story on Julianna Margulies, I must respectfully disagree with you that she hasn't had any face work done. A quote from your article: "Her face, untouched by knife or needle." I very much enjoy Ms. Margulies's acting, but if you look at her appearance on the sitcom Scrubs in 2004, you will see that her face looked very different then—pinched and pulled back, particularly around the eyes. I think she looks much better now as she probably hasn't had any face work done recently, but I find it hard to believe she didn't have some work done around the time she did Scrubs. I have no problem with celebrities doing cosmetic surgery or botox, as long as they are honest about it, and there's no way she didn't have some work done in the past.
--Melanie Bowden
I am writing from my nice, warm kitchen! Two weeks ago, I was outside watching the flowers pop out of the ground, literally, on an 80 degree day. Today, my husband called to let me know it was snowing onto the windshield of the truck. He was 15 minutes away! That would be Wisconsin, to be sure!
I had received More Magazine as a gift from a wonderful friend who thought I needed it. I do love it when it comes. I take the time to read the inspirational stories and look at the details of the clothing trends that are popular. I have been thinking about the clothing and ran my thoughts past a friend of mine. She said I should write to you.
I am a stay-at-home mom, a domestic engineer some would say. We have a daughter who just started college at Macalester College in St. Paul, Minnesota this year. Nope! That doesn't mean my parenting duties have stopped. In fact, the roller coaster ride of her new adventure has kept me in the loop and busy. I try to send her inspirational quotes, which I have always loved, each day. Or, I will share stories of our bedlington terrier that continues to warm our hearts, give us facial scrubs, and hunt for skunks - yep, skunks. I think women, especially young bright women, are more sensitive to everything that is around them and need encouragement all the time, at least I do, my daughter does as well. I do not sit still or eat bon-bons and watch soap operas each day, as someone thought I might do when Cassidy went to college. There are people in our lives that need a kind message written, treats delivered, connections made. I try to do that, daily. With our way-too-busy lives, these things often go missing. I have been organizing resale shopping trips with a friend of mine several times a year. We call ourselves, J and J Resale Excursions, LLC. We just have fun and include as many people as are interested in coming with us. The name is just for fun as we kept getting more people interested in going with us and Jill, the one J, felt we needed to be "protected" in case someone didn't find anything they want/need. My mom, when she was alive, used to call this my "therapy". And, yes, I would agree.
Here is where I connect with your magazine. I am a mom without unlimited, throw-away income. So, I can't purchase the $150 skirt or the $200 "finds" you show in the fashions you share with your readers. However, I can look at what you are showing and decide if that is something I would like and/or look good in. Then, I can go to resale stores and see what I can find. My favorite store is Anthropologie. I love the creativity of the looks, but not the prices. Unfortunately, my daughter is becoming an Anthro fan, as well. I have found wonderful gently used Anthropologie tops/sweaters at Goodwill, St. Vincent de Paul, and the Salvation Army. Yesterday, I was wearing Seven Jeans and a long sleeved Anthropologie top from Goodwill. I think my whole outfit was close to $10.

Last Friday we hosted a special screening of Darkness on the Edge of Town, a film by Emmy and Grammy-award winning filmmaker Thom Zimny. The Darkness on the Edge of Town film is part of Bruce Springsteen's remarkable new box set, 'The Promise: The Darkness on the Edge of Town Story released this past November. It includes a remastered version of the album, two cds of outtakes, a documentary about the making of the album, a full concert from 1978, and the film we screened. In Zimny's film, Springsteen and The E Street Band perform their 1978 album in sequence at the Paramount Theater in Asbury Park, but with no audience present. The result is a stark and intense interpretation of the album.
The film brilliantly creates a sense of an album, not just a set of songs: there is no spoken introduction, no interviews, no content for the album itself. It begins with some haunting black-and-white footage of the amusement park buildings in Asbury Park shot in the late 70s, followed by a few shots of the band arriving at the theater. Then the band launches into "Badlands," and it never lets up. In between songs, the film fades to black and goes silent. The pauses are about the same length as the pauses between tracks on an album. It even includes the sound and image of a needle dropping on a record.
In the lighting and stage set, the film evokes film noir, an appropriate reference given how much Springsteen was getting into film at the time the album was made. There's not a lot of warm light in these songs—after all, the blinds on the original album cover were shut tight. There's not a lot of fun (in the "Rosalita" or "Spirit in the Night" sense) on the record—there are dues to be paid, accounts to be settled. The film conveys that visually in every frame.
After the screening, Thom Zimny talked at length about putting the film together in collaboration with Bruce Springsteen.

Release Date: 2008-07-25
Genre: Drama,
Rating: R
Duration: 1hr 36min
Since their debut in the late '60s, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young have functioned as the "town criers" of their generation. With songs like "Ohio" and "Find the Cost of Freedom," CSNY were in the forefront of Vietnam-era protest and anti-war sentiment. Though fondly remembered for their harmonies and love songs, the band has never lost its political edge. "CSNY: Déjà Vu" finds the band heading out on their "Freedom of Speech 2006" of North America, featuring music from Neil Young's controversial "Living With War" CD. With "Embedded" reporter, Mike Cerre, aboard, the film documents audience reactions to the music and the band's ongoing connection with its fans, all against the backdrop of the Iraq/Afghanistan War. The film also examines events surrounding the tour in the crucial election season of 2006. Songs from the tour are woven together with archival material, news footage, and audience reaction and observations, as the film examines the issues surrounding the integration of politics and art.

Gardening Articles: Care :: Pests & Problems
Tomato Blight: Breeding for Resistance
by Pat Stone
Late blight on tomato leaves
It's got to be an axiom of home gardening that nothing ruins a good garden like a vacation. Go away, come back and something has gone wrong. Still, even I didn't expect last summer's disaster. When my family returned from our annual week at the beach, I discovered that an arsonist had torched my tomato plants! All eight vines looked like pine trees after a forest fire.
The firebug was no human, though, but a disease: blight. In much of the East and Midwest, early and late tomato blight infestations are very hard to hold at bay. And when it rains every day for two months, as it did last summer in western North Carolina, it's impossible.
So it was with zeal that I drove out to North Carolina State University's Mountain Horticultural Crops Research Station in nearby Fletcher last September to visit the one person I knew would still have tomatoes on the vine: breeder Randy Gardner. Since 1976, Gardner has made battling blight his full-time job. He's been successful. Over the last several years, he has developed the early-blight-resistant Mountain series, including Mountain Pride, Supreme, Gold, Fresh and Belle.
Gardner did, indeed, have tomatoes. Row upon row of them -- red, green, yellow, orange, big, small, pear, plum -- his field beds a living gene library of Lycopersicon esculentum: the tomato. All had the stop-at-three-feet height of determinate varieties. Many were so laden with large fruits they looked like pint-size Christmas trees. He even had one I nicknamed the "anti-tomato." It was everything a tomato shouldn't be: a solid green, softball-hard globe that has the flavor of watermelon rind and, best of all, never ripens. Why keep such a gardener's nightmare alive? "It has a ripening inhibitor gene that's useful for crossbreeding," I was told.
Gardner was a pleasure to talk with. A straightforward, down-to-earth man, a farmer of genes, not crops, he talked in layman's language and exhibited a patient determination that reminded me of the land itself. We started off, of course, on the subject of b-l-i-g-h-t, but by the end of the day, we had also talked about tomato marketing, flavor, genetic engineering and more.
Early Blight (Alternaria solani) occurs wherever tomatoes are grown. It is most common in humid or semiarid climates where frequent dews provide sufficient moisture to permit disease development
Symptoms: Small, brownish black lesions form on older foliage first. The tissue surrounding the spots may become yellow, and by the time spots are about 1/2 inch in diameter, concentric rings may be discernable in the dark brown portion of the spot. When a spot is located on one of the primary leaf veins, the area beyond the spot soon dies and becomes brown. In the latter part of the season, the lesions become numerous and under favorable conditions, affected plants become defoliated, exposing fruit to sunscald. Stem lesions on seedlings are small, dark and slightly sunken. They enlarge to form circular or elongated lesions with pronounced concentric rings and light centers. If lesions continue to enlarge at the ground level, plants will become girdled and die. This phase of the disease is called collar rot.
Fruits are infected at either the flower or stem end, in either the green or ripe stage. Lesions attain considerable size, occasionally involving the entire fruit, and usually have concentric ringing. Diseased areas appear leathery and may be covered by a velvety mass of black spores.
Disease cycle: The soilborne fungus survives between crops on debris in the soil and on seed. In mild locations it survives from season to season on volunteer tomato plants and other related host plants, such as potato, eggplant, horsenettle and black nightshade. Primary infection occurs during periods of mild, 75? F to 85? F, rainy weather. Older leaves are affected first. High soil fertility reduces severity of early blight.
Control: Plant resistant varieties an use pathogen-free seed and healthy transplants. Use long crop rotations and eradicate weeds and volunteer tomato plants. Fertilize properly to keep plants growing
Late Blight (Phytophthora infestans) is the fungal disease that caused the Irish potato famine in the 1840's. It's also very serious on tomatoes when the weather is consistently cool and rainy.
Symptoms: The fungus attacks all aboveground parts of the tomato. At first, leaf lesions appear as water-soaked spots. They enlarge rapidly into pale green or brown spots that cover large areas of the leaf. In moist weather, the undersides of small lesions may be covered with a gray to white moldy growth. Infected foliage becomes brown, shrivels and dies. Petioles and stems are affected similarly. Fruit lesions appear as dark, greasy spots, which enlarge until the entire fruit is invaded. Soft rot often follows late blight infection and leads to fruit disintegration. Decaying vines may have a foul odor.
Disease cycle: The fungus survives between seasons in volunteer and abandoned potato and tomato plants in fields and gardens. Cool nights and warm days (temperatures below 85? F) are ideal for late blight development. The spores spread readily by wind to other plants and when weather is favorable, the infection moves so rapidly that affected plants appear as though damaged by frost.
Control: Eliminate all potato cull piles in the vicinity of tomato plantings, and destroy volunteer potato plants that grow from overwintered tubers.
