Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack today outlined the need for a renewed commitment to improve childhood nutrition, which will lead to a healthier generation of Americans and a productive workforce to keep growing American business.
In remarks at a meeting with the United Parcel Service of America (UPS) and Georgia business leaders, Vilsack noted USDA has made significant focus on improving consumers' access to information and helping consumers have better access to food, which can help our nation combat obesity and malnutrition – raising a generation of young people who succeed in school and graduate ready to achieve great things.
"We know that people who eat right and exercise are healthier and more productive. We also know that when children get enough to eat, they do better on tests and are more likely to graduate," said Secretary Vilsack. "Focusing on childhood nutrition today will result in a more productive and skilled workforce, and contribute to a strong economy in the decades to come."

Rihanna's reunion with Chris Brown has hurt her friendship with Katy Perry.
Perry, who got close with the "Stay" singer at last year's Grammys, "doesn't approve" of Rihanna's decision to get back together with Brown, 23, and their friendship has suffered as a result of it, sources told Us Weekly.
"They aren't tight anymore because Katy doesn't approve of Rihanna dating Chris Brown," an insider told Us.
I think there are only two people who really think this whole Chris Brown/Rihanna thing is a good idea.
Brown assaulted Rihanna on the eve of the 2009 Grammys and was eventually sentenced to community service for the attack. Los Angeles prosecutors are now investigating whether Brown faked his community service records.
Perry spent the evening of the Grammys on the arm of her man, John Mayer. The couple had a front-row view of the night's performances, while Rihanna and Brown cuddled up elsewhere in the audience.
Well, that settles it, then. They all obviously hate each other.

'The Blonds' Behind What Miley Cyrus Wears on Tour
At fashion week in New York City, designers unveiled what's in store for next fall — but downtown at Milk Studios in the Meatpacking district, design duo "The Blonds," opted for catsuits, not coats, and gave a taste of what a certain twerking superstar will be wearing on her upcoming tour.
"The Blonds are about glamour, we're about setting the place on fire with electricity, absolutely pushing the boundaries," said Phillipe Blond, one half of the platinum pair, in an interview before the show.
Phillipe and David Blond, with their glam costumery, have developed a dedicated following of today's top performers since launching their label "The Blonds" in 2008. Their fans include Beyonce, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Rihanna, among others, and the latest addition to their celeb following is none other than Google's most-searched person of 2013: Miley Cyrus.
"We've just come off working on Miley Cyrus's tour [costumes]," said David, "So we're super excited about that. It will be like the most insane thing you've ever seen on the planet."
Working with Cyrus, is "Great inspiration," David said. "She has a way of thinking that there are no limits, and those are the kind of artists we like working with because they don't have a limit and they want to push things farther and take things to different places."
"Which is our state of mind all the time," Phillipe added. "So it was a perfect partnership."
Cyrus's "Bangerz" tour kicks off today in Vancouver, BC. And if The Blonds Fall 2014 fashion show was any indication, attendees are in for glitz, glam, and a sartorial treat.

EAGLE, Colorado - Jill Ryan likes her job so far.
Ryan started her new term as an Eagle County commissioner when she and Jon Stavney were sworn in Tuesday morning. District Court Judge Tom Moorhead did the honors before a packed house.
"I think I'm going to love it," Ryan said. "I feel compelled to do the right thing for the people of Eagle County.
Ryan won the seat to replace outgoing commissioner Peter Runyon, who was the subject of a comedy roast on his way out the door.
Ryan, Stavney and returning commissioner Sara Fisher then handled some routine matters. They decided some zoning issues, got an update on a lawsuit from a former employee and a granted a few liquor licenses.
By early afternoon Ryan was figuring out all the same things all new hands do.
"Now I'm doing everything a new employee does the first day, like getting an outside line and making the email work," she said.
Ryan was Eagle County's director of public health before she ran for commissioner. That could be valuable experience as the county looks at more budget cuts, in the face of continuing declines in property values.
The county's budget is set for next year; Stavney, Fisher and Runyon passed it last month after each department recommended its own reductions.
"All the departments did an across the board cut," she said.
Ryan topped Jeff Layman and Dale Nelson to win her seat.
"I want to do my homework, I want meet with anyone who wants to meet," she said.
She said she started meeting community groups a year before the November election.
She said she learned a few things.
The economy remains foremost on people's minds, and they want the county to be part of economic development efforts.
Eagle County residents also love wildlife and our environment, she said.
Economics and the environment are mutually beneficial, not mutually exclusive, she said
"This special place affords a certain quality of life that also sustains us economically. We have to be intentional about preserving it," she said.
In Breckenridge, Bruce Brown was sworn in as the new district attorney for Colorado's 5th Judicial District - Eagle, Summit, Lake and Clear Creek counties. Brown is a Democrat from Clear Creek County.
Eagle resident and attorney Heidi McCollum was sworn in as the assistant district attorney.
Brown won election over Republican Scott Turner.

PARKERSBURG - Wood County commissioners questioned Sheriff Ken Merritt about his plans to transfer $32,000 from deputies salaries to purchase a new vehicle for his use.
The budget transfer, dated Jan. 23, went to the commission and was signed by commissioners Wayne Dunn and Blair Couch, only two of the three signatures are required. The notice stated Merritt was planning to transfer $32,000 from the law enforcement deputies' salary line item to another line item. The commissioners stamped the invoice approved "only that it meets the requirement that monies are available within the line item and appear to be relevant to the line item drawn from and does not reflect approval of the specific items purchased by the elected official."
On a requisition, dated Jan. 25, from the sheriff's office, it was noted the sheriff intended to purchase a 2013 Ford F-150 crew cab for his own use. The vehicle cost was listed at $27,406 and was being purchased off the state bid contract, according to the requisition.

Wood County Sheriff Ken Merritt, accompanied by chief law enforcement deputy Shawn Graham and administrative assistant T.R. Smith, discussed the sheriff's planned transfer of funds from his department's law enforcement deputies' salary line item to equipment for purchase of a new vehicle for Merritt's use.
After seeing the requisition, the commissioners asked for a meeting with the sheriff.
"It is planned the vehicle currently being used by the sheriff is going back to the Drug Task Force. It was previously their vehicle. That's what I drove when I served on the task force before taking over as chief deputy and we have now sent a second officer back to the task force. We would like to send the vehicle back with that officer," said Shawn Graham, chief law enforcement deputy. "We don't have another vehicle that would be appropriate for that use," he said. Graham explained there are only a certain number of unmarked vehicles in the department fleet that could be used by drug investigators.
Administrative assistant T.R. Smith said the department has 58 vehicles in its fleet.
Commissioner Steve Gainer asked if there were not other vehicles that could be made available for the sheriff's use.
The commissioners asked if the sheriff could use the vehicle Smith or Graham drives.
"The chief needs a vehicle that can go back into the backwoods area and I'm restricted with my leg. I need room to stretch out," Merritt noted.
Graham said the department is also going to be doing drug investigation in the office as well as in conjunction with the Drug Task Force.
Merritt assured the commissioners he had adequate funds in the deputy salary line item to transfer to the equipment line item to cover the cost of the new vehicle.
Sheriff's department officials said there were funds left over from the former chief law enforcement officer's salary for use in other line items.
"In the past, the sheriff has come to us about buying department vehicles," Commissioner Blair Couch said. Traditionally the county has purchased sheriff's department vehicles through coal severance funds. Couch asked Merritt what he would do if there was a need for overtime or some other emergency in his department.
"What about the pending lawsuit you mentioned that may result in you having to hire back another deputy and what if you need funds for that," Commissioner Steve Gainer asked.
"I don't recall discussing anything like that with you," Merritt said.
"I'm worried you may run out of money in your salary line item," Gainer said.
"You could be looking at a potential deficit if something comes up and you don't have enough funds to transfer in, like for overtime that's incurred," Couch said.
"We signed it, but at the time we didn't know what you were doing. It could have been handled in a better way. It kind of takes the wind out of our sails going into a new year with you," Couch said.
"Of course, you never know what's going to happen in law enforcement," Merritt said. "The bottom line is we need a vehicle because we don't have anyone in law enforcement we can trade for, and I have the money available in by budget," the sheriff said. Merritt noted the vehicle he is driving now also has steering and other mechanical problems.
"We just don't want you to come back later asking for more money," commission President Wayne Dunn said.
"I'm not going to do that, but when we need something, we will ask," Merritt said. "I can't say what may happen in the future."
Smith said sheriff's department officials looked at the budget and there were adequate funds to meet the needs.
"We checked before we made the request," Smith said.
"I'll give you my trust and faith at this point, and hope we can work together, but we don't like surprises," Dunn told Merritt.
The agenda for the meeting stated the sheriff's department officials would also bring up holding center personnel needs.
"We aren't prepared to discuss that at this time," Graham said.
"I will tell you we have had at least two incidents just since we've been in office where there were problems, altercations with combative individuals which caused problems having only two officers on duty at a time," Graham told commissioners. "We will be back to discuss the situation soon," he said.

SAN MATEO -- San Mateo's Kari Seitz, the most decorated international referee in American soccer history, is retiring, U.S. Soccer Federation announced Tuesday.
Seitz, 42, is the only referee, man or woman, to officiate in four World Cup tournaments. She worked the Women's World Cup in 1999, 2003, '07 and '11. She also officiated in three consecutive Olympics, including the 2012 London Games where her crew handled the opening event.
The London Games was Seitz' final major tournament because her sport has a mandatory retirement age of 45 for referees who work international matches. She will turn 45 the same year as the 2015 Women's World Cup in Canada.
Over a 28-year career Seitz has refereed games in Major League Soccer and the three U.S. women's pro leagues.
"I've had opportunities that I never could have imagined as an official starting out at just 14 years of age," Seitz said in a statement. "My life experiences as a referee have shaped me into the person I am today."
Seitz, a manager at San Francisco advertising agency, plans to help develop the next generation of refs. Her final match is scheduled for Oct. 20 when the top-ranked U.S. women play Australia in San Antonio, Texas. The Americans also will play New Zealand on Oct. 27 at Candlestick Park.
Seitz has handled more than 200 professional matches, more than 1,000 college matches and has refereed the U.S. women's national team more than 50 times. She is the only referee to officiate in three different regional championships -- confederation tournaments in CONCACAF, Europe and Asia.
"I can step aside with a tremendous sense of pride from helping advance the game in the United States," Seitz said. "I look forward to working with young referees in the future so they can have similar experiences."
She grew up in Michigan playing on a boys' team, dreaming of making soccer a career.
"I was a goalkeeper," Seitz once told the Los Angeles Times. "I'm 5-foot-4. So that wasn't going to last forever."
She started to focus on refereeing after watching officials work at the 1994 World Cup in the United States.
"I didn't know how you got there," she told the Times. "I never thought about it being man-woman. Who cares? I just went for it. And luckily I had a lot of people in my career who helped me out because you can't get there on your own."
Seitz became a member of the FIFA International Panel of Referees in 1999 after beginning her professional career the year before as an assistant and center referee in MLS.
"Kari has played a key role in the growth of women's soccer in the United States over the past 15 years, and her dedication to her craft has always been admirable," U.S. Soccer President Sunil Gulati said in a statement. "She will always be a role model for young referees."

What was I supposed to do? I let the sucker ferment for like 60 hundred hours and it didn't rise one iota. All I could think to do was toss it back in the mixer and throw in a teaspoon of yeast and re-knead it. Biddy (my starter) let me down big time on this one. She did her job in the firm starter the day before, making a nice bubbly mixture that I refrigerated overnight. But when I put the final dough together the next morning, she'd all but died on me. I kicked and screamed and called her every name in the book but I still couldn't get a rise out of her.
Anyway, with the yeast mixed in, I did achieve that rise I was looking for and the final product was very tasty. Hubby claimed it one of his favorites from the book thus far. But.... does he know his wife's a cheater?

MARIETTA - The idea of having guards or other employees armed with guns to prevent a mass shooting is a concept some local school officials and residents are willing to consider.
After a single gunman murdered 20 young students and six educators at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. two weeks ago, the nation has debated how to stop it from happening again. Last week, National Rifle Association CEO Wayne LaPierre's call for armed guards in all the nation's schools drew criticism from many but support from others. Prior to that, the Buckeye Firearms Association launched a pilot program to provide free firearms training to teachers, and Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine said he would support allowing one employee at a school access to a firearm, adding the decision should be up to local districts.
Three days after the Newtown shooting, Marietta Police Sgt. Rod Hupp asked the Marietta City Board of Education to think about allowing some school personnel to carry concealed handguns.
"He's not asking us to implement it; he's just asking us to consider it," said Greg Gault, president of the Marietta board, on Thursday. "I do have reservations about guns being in schools as a parent. At the same time, I recognize that may be what it takes to stop a situation like this."
Board member Karen Burton said she doesn't like the idea of arming school personnel at first blush but she's willing to listen.
"I'm not saying I won't change my mind," she said.
Burton retired after 39 years as a teacher, most of them in the Warren Local school district. She recalled areas where security needed to be improved after the shootings at Columbine High School in Colorado, "but as far as thinking somebody in our school should be armed, no I never did think that."
Burton said she's concerned about what might happen if a staff member carrying a weapon became involved in an argument or otherwise loses their cool in a confrontation at work.
Marietta police Capt. Jeff Waite said that's not a source of worry for him because people who have concealed-carry permits are trained in how to properly use a firearm. Those individuals probably put more thought into their responses and work harder to defuse situations verbally than the average individual, he said.
"The firearm is there for worst-case, last-ditch scenarios where they have to defend themselves or somebody else," Waite said. "There are lots of (concealed-carry) permit holders in Washington County, and we don't have the high noon at the O.K. Corral that some people thought we would."
Dion Prunty, a sixth-grade teacher at Marietta Middle School and president of the Marietta City Education Association, said she would favor having a dedicated security guard or police officer stationed at a school rather than arming a fellow teacher.
"I just think that that's asking for trouble," she said, noting being armed could open a teacher to complaints from parents.
Prunty said if a school employee was armed, a principal would make more sense.
"I would rather it be administration, because they have more opportunity to get somewhere than teachers would," she said. "I wouldn't leave my kids to go hunt for a killer."
The issue is likely to be considered by more districts and communities than Marietta.
Fort Frye Local Board of Education President Johnna Zalmanek said it's sad that circumstances have made such a conversation necessary.
"I hate to say it, but I think eventually it's going to have to come to something like that, a security guard, somebody trained to deal with things like that," she said. "We definitely need to look at all of our options and see the best interest of our students."
Zalmanek said she wouldn't be opposed to a properly trained teacher being armed, but she feels they have enough responsibility as it is and she leans more toward a dedicated guard.
That's the approach Fort Frye Superintendent Tom Gibbs would be most likely to consider.
"I'm not opposed to the concept, if funding can be found for it, of properly trained and licensed resource officers," he said.
Gibbs, who also serves as the Warren Local Schools superintendent, said he's not comfortable with the idea of, say, a kindergarten teacher being armed. And any officer placed in a school in that manner should be trained not only in law enforcement and security, but also in interacting with students and their families.
The funding component Gibbs mentioned is one of the problems New Matamoras Elementary Principal Bill Wotring has with the NRA leader's call for armed guards at all schools.
"As soon as you say something like that, reality has to come into play," he said. "To do that ... you talk about spending a whole bunch of money."
School districts are already struggling to keep up with expenses, Wotring said, so adding staff is no small order. LaPierre had called on the federal government to provide the funding.
Wotring said he prefers other security measures, including adding a camera at the front door and perhaps metal bars on glass doors, over arming employees.
"I guess it's just my bottom-line feeling that guns just tend to be dangerous," he said.
Even if a responsible, trained employee was identified, Wotring said, what would the school do when that person was out of the building?
"The reality of that is you're going to have to have two or three people," he said, adding that even then, there's no guarantee the armed employee would be in the location where a would-be shooter gained entry to the building.
Chuck Nonnenmacher, owner of Magnum, Get Your Shot On in Whipple, said that's one reason he favors having multiple staff members, who are willing to, carry concealed weapons.
"That one guy, he can't do it himself," he said.
Knowing multiple employees could be armed would be a strong deterrent to a potential shooter, Nonnenmacher said.
"They don't know which teacher has decided to have that .357 in her desk," he said.
The Ohio Revised Code allows school boards to decide who, if anyone, can have a weapon on school grounds. Should local districts decide to allow staff members to carry concealed weapons, Nonnenmacher said his business would provide free training, with the only cost to school employees being materials like workbooks.
Marietta resident Barbara Jett, 58, said she would be "all for" having armed personnel at Marietta Middle School, which two of her grandchildren attend.
"I just think that could be a big deterrent to keep someone from going into the schools with a gun," she said.
Having multiple employees armed would provide a "check and balance" should one of them prove to be a threat, Jett said.
Lowell resident Konnie Yoho, 54, said an armed employee - perhaps a custodian or someone else who would be moving throughout the building - could be one way to increase security.
"I would not have a problem with that at all," she said.
Yoho also suggested that schools consider installing metal detectors people would have to walk through before reaching the main door so that staff inside could be warned of a potential problem.
"Let's stop them before they get in," she said.

Heading into the second day of state tournament play, Summit High School golfer Dylan Mitchell was three strokes behind leader Jacob Allenback from Pueblo Centennial. He had high hopes of finishing first, but two bad holes put him out of reach to finish in fifth place in the 4A division with a 144 overall (71-73).
"He came up short of his hopes and expectations but all but one guy does," Summit golf coach Gary Sorensen said. "Only one guy went home completely happy."
Allenback fired a 4-under 68 for the three-shot lead at The Links at Cobble Creek in Montrose, a par-72 course. Allenback made five birdies to go 34-34 on the first day. On Day 2, Allenback shot a 1-under 71 to place him at the top.
Mitchell entered Tuesday tied at 71 with Silver Creek's Andrew Howe and Pueblo West's Glenn Workman. Workman completed another 71 to land third place, while Howe shot a 78 to bump back to 11th. Meanwhile, Mitchell went 1-over to score 73.
"I had two bad holes right in the middle of my round," Mitchell said. "Without those, I was one behind the leader. Stuff happens."
Sorensen elaborated on holes 10 and 11, in which Mitchell started off his series of flaws with one deep in the rough, only to be hit into some shallower grass. On the next hole, he chose the wrong club and hit it over the green, bouncing it into a creek.
"He hit it well, it was just the wrong club choice with the tail winds," Sorensen said. "Without those, he'd have been four under and putting pressure on Josh (McLaughlin)." McLaughlin finished second with a 141.
"He wanted to do better than fifth place, but the pyramid is real narrow at the top. He shouldn't be too disappointed," Sorensen said. "He didn't give up when he knew that his ultimate goal was probably out of reach. He kept grinding, and trying hard. As evidenced by finishing birdie, eagle, par, par. That speaks a lot for how mature he is."
Sorensen also commended Mitchell's play on the 17th green, which he parred when most other golfers didn't.
"I hit the ball the best I've hit it in a long time," Mitchell said. "I'm really excited about my game. Bounces and stuff didn't go my way. You need a few things to go your way to win a tournament. Everything has to go in your favor. Things didn't go my way all the time."
Previously, Mitchell tied for 27th in his sophomore year and tied for 7th his junior year. He didn't make the cut as a freshman.
Mitchell plans to head to the Colorado Golf Association Tournament of Champions at the Broadmoor this weekend in Colorado Springs. He'll then take some time off to rest and practice, and figure out his next step.

2.5-1 Credibility of
Revised to January 1, 2008
The credibility of witnesses and the
weight to be given to their testimony are matters for you as jurors to
determine. However, there are some principles that you should keep in mind. No
fact is, of course, to be determined merely by the number of witnesses who
testify for or against it; it is the quality and not the quantity of testimony
that controls. In weighing the testimony of each witness you should consider
the witness's appearance on the stand and whether the witness has an interest of
whatever sort in the outcome of the trial. You should consider a witness's
opportunity and ability to observe facts correctly and to remember them truly
and accurately, and you should test the evidence each witness gives you by your
own knowledge of human nature and the motives that influence and control human
actions. You may consider the reasonableness of what the witness says and the
consistency or inconsistency of (his/her) testimony. You may consider (his/her)
testimony in relation to facts that you find to have been otherwise proven. You
may believe all of what a witness tells you, some of what a witness tells you,
or none of what a particular witness tells you. You need not believe any
particular number of witnesses and you may reject uncontradicted testimony if
you find it reasonable to do so. In short, you are to apply the same
considerations and use the same sound judgment and common sense that you use for
questions of truth and veracity in your daily life.
A complete and accurate charge on
credibility may require only the first and last sentences of this instruction.
The remaining principles are recommended to provide additional guidance to the
jury as warranted in any given case.

In Their Own Words – Life is Weird
This "In Their Own Words" is by Mallory Johnston, who has an older brother with autism. She graduated from Tennessee Technological University in May 2010 with a degree in mechanical engineering and two minors, biology and chemistry. Mallory now works full-time with NASA-Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, AL and has applied for medical school for the 2011 year.
I entered college with about 8 months of very limited driving experience. I was 18 when I earned my license. My mother wouldn't let me drive, and I didn't push the subject. We had bigger things going on when I turned 15. Not long after moving to Bethpage, Tennessee, my brother got sick. My brother was born about three months premature. Some people hear this and think "Oh, that is terrible. I'm sorry to hear that." I'm not. My brother was born three months premature with hydrocephalus. Basically spinal fluid doesn't drain properly, and excess spinal fluid from the brain isn't removed. Typically if a baby is born with hydrocephalus after a nine month gestation period, the baby is either a stillborn or in a vegetative state. Severe mental disabilities begin to develop around six months of gestation. Once again, Clay was three months premature. Who's to say what is good and what is bad?
Twice a year we would make the three and a half hour drive to LeBonheur Children's Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee. CT scans were performed on "Mr. Joseph Johnston, please follow me" a couple of times a year. Because a neurological condition wasn't enough, he also has cerebral palsy on his right side, and when he was in the first grade, he had to have his Achilles tendon severed. He spent 3 years in casts and a leg brace. I remember doctor after doctor asking "what type of special school does Clay attend?" "None. He goes to public school," my mother would be quick to respond. My parents never once let Clay think he wasn't capable of anything. No matter how much time he needed, no matter how much attention he needed, neither one ever doubted him of any ability. He didn't have disabilities; he had "different abilities". And when he graduated from high school with an Honors diploma, my mother cried. My brother cried when he was told he was going to have to have neurosurgery. With a strip of dark brown hair shaved off his head and a tube coming out of his skull, we all could have cried but couldn't.
We all thought we were in the clear. We were told that there was a "good chance" Clay would need surgery after a major growth spurt, to replace his shunt and/or the tubing that drained the excess fluid to the abdominal cavity. When he was sixteen, he threw up on his desk in Mr. Vincent's algebra class. What should have been a routine procedure turned into three years of Percocet and Lortab; waiting room chairs turned into single person couches. On my fifteenth birthday, my brother had brain surgery. On his seventeenth birthday, he had brain surgery. On Easter, near Christmas, in the middle of the summer—my brother had brain surgery. If he wasn't in the hospital, most of the time he spent on the couch with a cold cloth on his head covering his eyes. I'd get off the bus, come through the door, and when I saw that all the lights were off, I knew what that meant: Clay had another headache. The I-can-only-imagine-to-be-the-worst-headache-ever pain would build and build. Then he would vomit until he was dry heaving, sometimes for hours. One There were so many surgeries and nothing seemed to work. What a quality of life- taking medicine that makes you sleep 20 hours of the day, and when you're awake for the other four you're either too drowsy or in too much pain to do anything. A simple, routine procedure for a condition that affects one in every 500 live births lasted three years. We all discovered that some things were more important than splitting up Christmas ornaments or getting a learner's permit. My mother never left the hospital when Clay was admitted. My father and step-father alternated who picked me up from school every day, followed by an hour drive to Nashville to visit at the hospital. My two dads—what can I say? After her husband, my father may be my mother's best friend. Clay hasn't had to have surgery since late 2002, but we all hold our breath when he says his head hurts.
After graduating from high school in 2003, Clay had been taking some classes at the local community college. My brother couldn't drive or tie his shoes or a number of things. He, however, was very bright with dates and facts. My mother was constantly at the school reminding teachers and administrators of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Due to Clay's cerebral palsy, his motor skills were hindered. This greatly affected his hand writing and his typing speed. Even after being told before school started about this, some teachers still found it to be their right to make public comments to the class about how they "couldn't read Clay's writing" and "can't you just" write better. My brother's accommodations were time and a half on tests. That's all. He was legally blind without glasses, had hydrocephalus, cerebral palsy, and spent time in a leg brace. All he wanted was time and a half on tests so he could type out the answers on a computer to make the teacher's job easier. About two weeks before finals week for the fall 2005 term, the college sent a letter saying his accommodations were being taken away. How convenient that it fell right before finals week. During one of the many visits, the President of the school actually had the nerve to say to my mother "If Momma wants to go to college, why don't Momma sign up for classes." She signed up for something.
At the beginning of the spring 2006 semester, my mother set up for Clay to have an extensive neuropsychological examination that would encompass two days and about 24 hours. She was going to have documentation that Clay needed accommodations, and she was going to get every single one she could for him. Her plan was to get vengeance. Clay was reluctant and unwilling. He eventually went inside. After about fifteen minutes the lady came out and said to my mother "I am very surprised at how well he has done considering how autistic your son is." She said it positively. "Wait. What? My son is what?" I have known all my life that Clay was "different," and more than likely Clay would need someone to live with him or at least very near him for his entire life. But there was always hope he would "catch up". That single word, that diagnosis, caused abstract ideas to plummet and become real and concrete. How could nationally recognized neurologist miss this? How could doctor after doctor never notice how he avoids eye contact, slaps his left hand into his right hand repeatedly, and just parrots what you want him to say when asked a question? Why couldn't his family that lived with him not recognize sooner that his destructive behavior wasn't him "lacking discipline"? His actions were less his choices and more his reactions from the world as he perceived it. How were we supposed to know that he didn't see the world like the rest of us?
The diagnosis of Autism has helped all of us especially my mother. For many years I believe she wondered "What am I doing wrong? Have I failed as a mother?" Clay's behavior would become more than disruptive to the point of violent over things such as a change of dinner plans. These "episodes" would almost always be followed with him bursting into tears. It is difficult to say if finding out sooner about his condition would have been better for all of us or not. Because my parents refused to let Clay fall into the "special needs" category, he excelled further than average concerning academics. My mother dived head first into books about autistic adults, books written by adults with Asperger's, and books written by parents of autistic children. She read articles and watched videos. Many of these she passed on to me. We soon discovered that we couldn't change his behavior, but we could only modify ours. And on my brother's 22nd birthday, my mother quit smoking. "I have to live forever for him…" We laughed because sometimes that's all we really can do.
I remember being protective of my older brother when we were in elementary school. If anyone picked on him, I took care of them. I have always been preparing to take care of my older brother. To be a starving artist who travels just snapping photos and writing journal entries hoping to be published sounds so incredibly desirable to me. To make mistakes, to be selfish, to run without a direction telling myself "I'll figure it out later" are things I have tried my best to avoid. I chose engineering because it is a stable field. It is a challenge, but it isn't a risk. Everyone will have their responsibilities; some just embrace their responsibilities sooner than others.
When I was offered an engineering co-op position with NASA Marshall Space Flight Center in the spring of 2007, I never thought in a million years I would actually work for NASA. Who does that?! The co-op experience has been amazing. I have seen two space shuttle main engine (SSME) tests. I have watched one of the last night-time shuttle launches ever. I have talked with astronauts over appetizers and drinks. I get to tell people "I work for NASA". Sitting on my book case is an autographed picture signed "Dream big" by STS-118 Pilot Charles O. Hobaugh.
When I tell people what I want to do, they say I'm crazy. "Well, I'm hoping to go to medical school for Fall 2011, become an astronaut, write an award winning book, and then work on becoming President…" But I'd rather be the "crazy one" aiming for the moon than the person who has grown satisfied. I only partially understand the hard work and sacrifice a woman with her GED performed to raise a gifted daughter and challenged son. I have witnessed my brother's struggle with beginner's algebra and putting on shoes with laces or pants that have a zipper. I am the age my aunt was when we believe she contracted HIV/AIDS from her husband. I would rather be the "crazy one" to everyone else, so that I can be someone who didn't waste her talents and the sacrifices of others.
Some could say I am pursuing medical school "a little late in the game" and that I am not approaching this in an orthodox manner. I didn't enter college as a pre-health major knowing "I want to be a doctor". I didn't start moving down a list someone said was the standard way of doing things to get into medical school. I am attempting to make my path because of a passion I have always felt. My diploma says I graduated "cum laude" (with honors), something I didn't think was possible even a year ago. I'm still not sure if I have expressed how much I want this. From the many things I have observed in my life and the many things I have accomplished, there is no doubt in my mind given the chance and the preparation that I can become an amazing medical student.
I chose engineering because it is a stable field. It isn't a risk. Applying to medical school, that's a risk. My life has been anything but standard. It has been a rollercoaster. It has been a movie. It has been drizzled with sweet moments and sprinkled with sour flashes. Just as Clay continues to work towards his bachelor's degree, I am working towards being more myself. Whether I continue to work for NASA or become a doctor or an astronaut or an award winning writer, my life will continue to be my life— peculiar and complete.
"Life is weird."
Life is what you make it. Dream big.

Please note – comment I submitted before had an error in it – it should say sister, not brother, here is the corrected version:
What a wonderful story; I am not sure who was more amazing – Clay, his mother or sister. A great family.
October 15, 2010 at 2:56 pm
This story really uplifted me. What a very courageous and united family! I'm so proud of Clay…I'm a mother of 2 boys, 5 years and half autistic and 3 years boy with Down Syndrom + heart's disease but when I read how your family made all their efforts to improve Clay'life and education, it encourages me to continue to believe in my kids and make their life better. Thank you God for this wonderful family. Be blessed!
October 15, 2010 at 4:08 pm
What an inspiring and touching account of a marvelous family. Ms Johnston is an intelligent and gifted person – in so many ways. Your brother, mother, father and step-father are all lucky to have you in their lives. Blessings to you and your family.
October 15, 2010 at 4:08 pm
All of your words are so incredibly kind. If my parents (father, mother, step-father) read these comments, they're going to cry. Thank you again for the kind words. I am just glad to have a chance to tell my piece of a story and inspire people.
October 15, 2010 at 4:43 pm
Truly a story of inspiration! Thank you for sharing!
October 15, 2010 at 5:25 pm
To Fanfan Rwanyindo:
Do continue to believe in your kids! Our children are no less amazing than a "typical" child, and we (the parents) know how capable they truly are! We must stay strong and continue moving forward!
(I have a 7 year old and 3 year old (boys). My oldest has a diagnosis of "autistic-like").
October 15, 2010 at 9:51 pm
Hello and thank you for sharing your story. I am a doctor, and I have a son with autism. My pursuit of a medical carrer was not started nor completed in the convential way. I don't know if personnal essays are necessary for entering Med School (as they were in the past),if so, this one would certainly be a winner. Be certain that your experiences as Clays sister and your mothers daughter will make you not only a better physician, but more importantly, a better person. Thank you and God Bless you and your family
October 16, 2010 at 8:18 am
Thank you for sharing, Mallory. It is refreshing to hear the story of a compassionate sibling of an Autistic brother. I too have a daughter and son who are caring and compassionate to their sister (my oldest daughter with Autism). Life is "weird", and we need to support one another with our encouraging stories. Thank you to your Mother too. She is a courageous, supportive, and optimsitic woman. God bless you, Clay, and your family.
October 16, 2010 at 8:54 am
This may be a bit off topic but toileting issues affect many kids and families. We have a 4 year old son with autism and a 2 year old with ADHD. Both boys are not potty trained. They both have a tendency to disrobe and worse yet they get into their diapers and play in it! We invented an escape proof sleeper that zips in the back and keeps them out of their diaper. http://www.ikidsfashion.com Thanks a lot!
October 16, 2010 at 9:03 am
Thanks Mal..
October 17, 2010 at 6:36 am
Mallory – Life's challenges and sacrifices change people and shape their lives. This essay is a brilliant example. You will be a terrific doctor if this is truly your passion. I especially liked your candidness about your aunts condition, as people suffer in silence and the suffering is all around us. We all have our struggles and those fortunate, see they are everyday. You have a terrific role model with a joking but struggling heart. Yes, Laughter/comedy of life is very important and should never be underestimated. Live, laugh and #1 LOVE! Good luck in all your endeavors and let your love shine through in all you do.*Peace*
October 17, 2010 at 6:35 pm
Bravo on your accomplishments! You are an inspiration to Clay and the two of you are examples to everyone that no matter what your dispositon is you really can be truly great! Your mom did well!
October 20, 2010 at 10:35 am
Thank you for sharing. Having a kid on the spectrum in the family does tend to give you a different perspective on life than those who come from a "typical" family. I am glad to hear that you are pursuing your own goals while still maintaining your connection to your family. From your story, I feel confident that you will excell at whatever you set you mind to do. Autism is not something that needs to be fixed, but rather, it can be the start of understanding and seeing the world of unique abilities that God has given us all. Best wishes to you on your Medical School acceptance and future endeavors.
October 20, 2010 at 11:54 am
As a mother of a 16 year old with Asperger's Syndrome, your encouraging story was
truly meaningful for me.
October 27, 2010 at 12:03 pm
Wonderfully written Mallory. We have a 5-year old with ASD who has an 10-year old neuro-typical brother…through our younger son's disability, (as odd as this sounds) our older son has been enriched more on a personal level than many will learn in a lifetime–living compassion, tolerance, and patience. Daily I see how this has imprinted and inspired our older son through his maturity, words, and actions. I do understand it can be a challenging and scary and frustrating role and we appreciate that in our family and carve out time to spend with each child independently–but I believe the overall perspective the neuro-typical sibling comes away with can be a blessing and thus result in a more intrinsically fruitful life. In many cases siblings of those with ASD (or other disabilities) pursue "people-care" or "compassion-driven" careers, much like your transition to the medical field–where I am certain you will positively impact many, many lives well into the future. God bless and best wishes to you and your family!
October 27, 2010 at 8:02 pm
It has been wonderful reading all the comments. I hope to make my life an inspiration. We are all the result of other people's choices and circumstances we never had control over. We do have the choice of how we let experiences teach us. "What doesn't kill you… makes you who you are."
November 10, 2010 at 10:57 am
As an educator of children who have special learning needs/differences and a first-hand witness to the routine denial of accommodations by SOME "professionals" with whom I have had to work, the account of Clay's treatment saddens and sickens me. I applaud Clay's mother who advocated for her son and wish, so much, that all children could have a champion like her. Thank you, Ms Johnson, for sharing and good luck with your future – you are a very bright light!!! ~connieb.
January 1, 2011 at 11:53 am
This is an amazing account of your life. I have a 4 year old nephew with autism. It is my desire to do everything in my power to help him excel in every way. Your story is an inspiration to me. We even have family members who don't seem to want to understand him. I believe that children can be whatever their heart desires no matter what disability they may have. I wish you the very best in becoming what you want to be also. I think you will make a great doctor!
January 8, 2011 at 10:45 pm
I feel like this could be my daughter's story someday! I am the mother of a 9 year old boy with autism, and I feel like a fighter/advocate when it comes to my son and school! I am also the mother of a 6 year old daughter who is the smartest little girl ever. I hope she dreams big. I am doing my best to prepare my son for the world so she won't have to take care of him. Thank you so much for sharing and may you be whatever you want to be!
March 29, 2011 at 11:52 am
All I can say is wow! You and your family are amazing. My 12 yr old daughter has Crohn's disease, and I sometimes find myself whining the "Why me's?" Thanks for putting things in perspective! Best wishes in accomplishing whatever goals you set for yourself! Thanks for sharing this blog! Tracey Duncan, TTU Alumni Director

Fix Beauty Emergencies on the Go
Surprising beauty tips to help you fix a broken nail, an oily t-zone and more beauty emergencies
We know: While your new clutch is a gorgeous (if way overpriced) find, it's also just large enough to squeeze in your keys, a lip gloss, and maybe your smart phone if you take off the cover. Shoving an awkwardly shaped eyelash curler into it is impossible no matter the impending droop. When your lashes could use a little love, go find a dinner spoon. Cup the spoon over your eye with the handle parallel to the floor. Position the lower edge of the spoon against your eyelashes and hold it still with your free index finger. Then, move your thumb under the spoon and press your lashes into the concavity of the spoon. Start from the inner corner, working your way out.

I dont recommend doing the spoon with the eye trick if you've been drinking a few cocktails...

Carry alcohol pads and nail glue, all the time. Even if you don't wear fake nails or need first aid, there are a million uses for these!

my roommate curls her lashes with a spoon and the first time i saw her doing it, i thought she was crazy! but after seeing her nicely curled lashes, i guess using a spoon really does work :D

The toilet paper hint reminded me of this obnoxious person I worked with, you know the one that acts like she is smarter and prettier than everyone else around? She kept her toothbrush in a glass on the sink in the bathroom at work. I assumed she never read or heard that the water from the toilet could fly up to 30 feet at times. I always imagined that it was all over the toothbrush that she used.

Wow, some great advise.

did W9D1 a few days ago. It have become clear that I do better listening to music or paying attention to someone else running. I am getting an ingrown toenial (I have had this before). I am goign to try to hit a podiatist before my race on the 13th.
W7D3 done yesterday. My pace was a little faster than D2, a little slower than D1. I could have gone faster but again, right now my focus is on building the endurance. I've also read that pushing faster in training, especially long distance runs (haha, long distances.. still long distances for me and that's what counts right?) are not the way to build speed but rather, are responsible for more injuries than not. So. I'm happy with where I am right now.
Had a run-in with two loose dogs while cooling down. Not very conducive to lowering my heart rate, I'll tell you that! Long story short, I was not injured and one of the dogs will be deemed dangerous, requiring the owner to jump through some hoops if he wants to keep it. My neighbors have been trying to get rid of that dog for 2 years now (both of them were deemed potentially dangers in 2008). I plan on buying myself a whistle, and maybe a compact baton to carry with me when I run.
I just did W6D1 today, guy, so don't feel too bad.
Had some shin soreness again and had to cut short the last five minute interval just a bit, but then i walked for about 20 minutes until the shin pain died down and did two more five minute intervals with absolutely no pain whatsoever. Might give D2 a try tomorrow because I don't think I'm going to have the chance to run this weekend.
zee, two words: Pepper Spray
Started W4 for the third time this week and am doing OK. Today was very difficult as there was ice and snow on the ground, not easy to run on and I found myself really tensing up. Still, I did manage to over take a pedestrian today J
@Mary29831 and @bostonwolf I'm going to sort out some physio for my knee, I'm pretty sure it's muscular/tendon as the pain goes if I hold my leg differently. The pain is just below my knee so I'm guessing that it isn't a cartilage problem, but then again, what do I know … At least I'm able to run now.
Good to hear that everyone is carrying on to the best of their abilities. Well done all.
Definitely get with a therapist, I bet they can help relieve the pain and give you some exercises to do that will help prevent it from coming back. I had to have some therapy after I ran a marathon back in 2000 for chondromalacia. Took about a month and I was back to running.
Strength training yesterday. Lots of leg work: single leg rows, step-ups, lunges. My hamstrings, calves and glutes were a little tight this morning. Foam rolled and stretched a bit before I headed out for W8D1. Stopped about 3 minutes in to re-tie one of my shoes, as it felt loose. Had to take another break about 10 minutes later to stretch my calf which was really tightening up and starting to hurt. Each time I stopped, I paused my chrono. Also had a short break when a little schnauzer came down his driveway, closely followed by his owner. These dogs like me!
Anyway, when the timer went off for 28 minutes, I checked... my chrono showed 27 minutes so I kept going. Total time jogging was just shy of 30 minutes. Total distance: 2.55 miles. Little slower today, but it was cold and I tend to take it a little easier on the first day of the week.
Very proud to have gotten this far, and still somewhat surprised: I'm looking forward to my next run!
So I finished the c25k program last week! I'm really happy and see huge improvement (esp since I started from inactivity other than a little yoga) but I'm slow. In 30 or 31 mins, I can finish 2.5 miles comfortably. I'm not running my first 5k until March 13, so I'm running 2.75 this week and then 3.1 the following. I feel good about a 5k in a few weeks and if I can break 35 mins I'd be happy first time.
I want to switch to a 10k training program to keep going. Some say you should have 6 months running under your belt first, but this one seems so tiered it would be ok: Hal Higdon novice training: http://www.halhigdon.com/10ktraining/10knovice.htm. I thought I'd repeat weeks as needed since I have plenty of time. I'd like to run a 10k for my 50th bday this summer!
Anyone have any recommendations on a good 10k training program for a very novice runner?
well i just did week 7 day 1 today, so i'm trying to keep up. I have now done 2 25 minute runs and i guess I should be good for the rest of this week since i've already done this and it won't be much of a change..
*question: when I am running this long, on a treadmill, my right foot goes to sleep. It wakes back up when I stop, but this time it was asleep for about 7 minutes. This happened earlier in my training but usually only 30 seconds or so. Any ideas?
I got some new music and it really helped me do the 25 minute run. I would never been able to do this without the tunes.
Checking in...
I have not been able to post as much the past few weeks as real life has intruded.
I just completed what would count as W8D2 today. I did another half marathon and was able to jog for 51 minutes without stopping. Based on my pace I think that that was around 3.75 - 4 miles. I was really happy - I think I could have gone longer but I did not want to do too much too soon and I still had over 9 miles left. As it turns out, it was good I stopped - with the heat I was fairly gassed at the end of the race. I was able to do my intervals until the end for the most part - I walked for about 4-5 minutes around mile 10 when there was a slight incline. The half I did today I recommend - Surf City Half Marathon (also has a marathon and 5K). It takes place in Huntington Beach, CA and most of the course is flat and along the Pacific Coast on PCH (Pacific Coast Highway).
So far this year if it 'feels right' on race day, what I can do that day is more than I thought I could do. Truly a revelation for me in the past month. I think those of you with upcoming races will surprise yourself - you have done your 'homework' so the 'test' should go well. Keep telling yourself that the morning of your race.
I have 'restarted' the C25K after my workouts with my trainer - I now am doing the C25K workouts at a much more accelerated pace. We'll see how this goes - I plan to do a 5K every 2-4 weeks to 'retest'. The days I do not work out with a trainer are the days I try to work on the latter days of of my original C25K quest. When I start a 10K program I will reevaluate.
Mary29831 - I plan to start a 10K program as well in about 2 weeks. There is another program I may use if I can find the book in my house: The Beginning Runner's Handbook: The Proven 13-Week Walk-Run Program: http://www.amazon.com/Beginning-Runners-Handbook-13-Week-Walk-Run/dp/1553650875/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1265593147&sr=8-1-catcorr#noop . This program is more gradual than C25K at first and I was going to switch to a modified version to work on my speed. If you were starting from scratch, Week 1 would be 3 days of 30 sec running/ 4:30 walking repeated 8-10 times (approximately). Week 2 is 1:00 running / 4:00 walking repeated 8-10 times (approximately). To modify I would start later in the program than week 1 and do my runs at a faster pace than my current pace. If I choose not to do this program, I will do Hal Higdon's novice 10K program.
Upcoming races:
2/13 or 2/20 - maybe a 5K if I can find one in Houston
2/28 Mardi Gras Rock-n-Roll Half Marathon - New Orleans
3/6 Stroke for Life 5K - Houston
3/13 Bayou City 10K - Houston - maybe
3/14 Dallas Rock-n-Roll Half Marathon
I am scheduling races so I will not slide - I want to keep the milestones I have achieved so far.
I hope to run a full 10K sometime in the Apr-May-Jun timeframe. Maybe I can do it sooner but I am not going to push it if it is not there. I also hope to keep working on my 5K time.
Keep up the great work everyone - think of how far you have come in a matter of two months!
Current C25K Status: Finished 2/28/2010!
This last week, I skipped a run: wife's birthday, record-breaking snow, ingrown toenail and neighbors preganancy annoucement (killed my running window on Friday night) combined to make me only get two 30 minute runs into the last seven days. Last night I ran outside (27 degrees, one days after 28.7" of snow) at the college near my home. I found some paths that were not slippery and kept floowing them around and expanding my circuits. BTW that was w9D2. I have a 5K race this Saturday. I think that I will try some indoor hill work.
So I finished the couch to 5k program!!! I'm very proud of myself, and feel great. I'm not going to quit running though. My next goal is to be able to run 5 miles without stopping. I have a 5k on March 6 that I will be getting ready for. I'll probably do some HIIT (high intensity interval training) once a week and continue my circuit training routine in the weight room. 10 Weeks ago I never thought running for 30 minutes would be so possible, but because I followed the program and didn't risk injury by doing it too fast, I was able to finish the program successfully. I can't wait until it warms up so I can change up the atmosphere a little bit, the gym is getting a little boring. Anyways, good luck to all with running, and keep me updated. Don't give up!
Congratulations, Jag! That is awesome.
This morning was W8D3 for me. Nothing spectacular or outstanding. One week to go!
Congrats to those that have completed the 9 weeks!!!!! I am still going strong but due to taking a few more rest days over the course of this program, I am just starting week 9 this week...I am sooo excited to run a full 30 minutes!! Have a great weekend everyone... :) :) :) Tam

This tractor-trailer attempting to make the turn from Seventh Street to Ann Street in front of the Stroudsburg post office couldn't quite make it on Tuesday.
After driving up onto the sidewalk on both sides of Ann Street, the truck severed a utility line in front of the post office and clipped the eaves of the residence across the street. Traffic in the area was briefly tied up until the truck could be moved.
Stroud Area Regional Police were called to the scene.

Business was brisk at the grand opening of Peebles in Brodheadsville on Wednesday.
The new "mini" department store sells shoes, blouses, jeans, suits and fragrances among other items, and many shoppers said they were excited because there previously had been few places to buy clothing in the West End.
"All I keep hearing today are a lot of 'wows.' People seem to be grateful that we're here," said Lisa Davoli, a Peebles store manager who helped with the grand opening.
People were already in line an hour before the store opened Wednesday.
"I'm so happy because now I don't have to drive all the way to the Stroud Mall to buy clothes. A lot of people around here live up on (Effort mountain) where there aren't many stores, so this is just great," said shopper Patricia Ashley of Albrightsville, who was about to buy an outfit and a wallet.
Peebles is in the West End Plaza in a space that once housed the West End Lanes bowling alley.
The store sells men's and women's clothing and brands like Levi's, Nike, Calvin Klein and Nine West. Prices vary, though. For example, the least expensive pair of Nike sneakers at the store cost about $35, the most expensive, $75.
Think of it as a Kohl's meets a J.C. Penney meets a T.J. Maxx.
Lines were at all the store's registers Wednesday but sales people checked customers out quickly. Locals ran into others they knew and expressed excitement at having a new department store.
"Whoa, where did you get those?" said one woman, pointing to a pair of leggings that the other woman was holding. "That's what I need."

Except for students and faculty heading for classes on the University's east campus, few passersby probably have noticed the ten-foot scaffolding tucked alongside the E.O. Bull Center for the Arts on South High St.
This week, however, weather permitting, the 85' x 15' concrete surface will be transformed into an elaborate mixed - media mural – the creation of a local, award-winning artist, University students, and other members of the campus and borough communities.
Over the past several months, ceramic artist Rhoda Kahler has overseen this enormous project and mentored dozens of art (and non-art) University students. Entitled, "Transition Cycle," the mural's design includes tiles made by the artist, pieces of glass, mirrors, thousands of tile shards, and tiny sockets and screws, reflecting the artist's preference for abstraction and textural collages.
"In the plans for renovating and expanding the building, we purposely set aside a wall where one day we might install a mural," explains John Baker, chair of the University's art department. "Baker also believed former West Chester student Kahler would be the ideal person to oversee the project.
"Given her success as an artist and the fact she's an alum of the University, I felt Rhoda was the perfect match for this project. I knew she would work very well with the students and create a beautiful work of art."A resident of West Chester, Kahler has done a number of public and private installations, including a 12-foot hypertufa concrete tree sculpture at Yellow Springs Farm; mosaic murals in the historical Kearsley building in Philadelphia and at 10th and South Sts. with Isaiah Zager; and handmade tile murals for the Chester County Chamber of Business and Industry and the Hillsdale Elementary School. Kahler's hand-sculpted tiles and sculpture also have been exhibited in dozens of select group and solo exhibitions throughout Chester County and the Philadelphia area. Recently, she was commissioned by the Delaware Art Museum to create its centennial tiles, and the tile series on which the University mural project is based are on exhibit at the 2013 Invitational Handmade Tile Exhibition in the San Angelo Museum of Fine Arts in Texas.
A 1995 West Chester University graduate in fine arts, she currently is a guest artist instructor in the Philadelphia Museum of Art's Form and Art program and a resident artist at the Inglis House in Philadelphia.

SAN FRANCISCO -- The state's Public Utilities Commission approved Pacific Gas & Electric's resubmitted application for a natural gas-fired power plant project in East Contra Costa County, again giving the green light to construction of the 586-megawatt plant.
In a 3-1 vote Thursday afternoon, commissioners approved a purchase and sales agreement for the Oakley Generating Station months after PG&E amended its proposal in response to a state appellate court ruling that the commission's first plant approval was made in haste.
Commissioner Mike Florio abstained from voting, saying he had been involved with the project as an advocate before sitting on the board.
Commissioner Catherine Sandoval cast the lone dissenting vote.
The Oakley power plant will help support the state's policy on having more efficient, environmentally friendly power sources, PUC board president Michael Peevey said. Also, it is ready for construction now rather than the years it could take other projects, he said.
"It adds up to pretty much a slam-dunk case," Peevey said.
"Obviously, we're really pleased with the decision. It will ensure we have flexibility as the state moves toward its new energy goals," PG&E spokesman Jason King said.
Assemblyman Jim Frazier, D-Oakley, Oakley Mayor Kevin Romick and county Supervisor Federal Glover of Pittsburg were among a contingent of about three dozen community members and union workers in favor of the project. Several in the crowd wore bright orange T-shirts reading "Approve Oakley Now."
"This is the best Christmas present for the area," said Greg Feere, chief executive officer for the Contra Costa Building and Construction Trades Council.
Construction of the power plant will create more than 700 jobs and bring millions of dollars into the local economy. At peak operation, the plant will produce enough electricity for about 500,000 homes.
Thursday's decision caps a topsy-turvy five-year process of approvals, reversals and appeals for the power plant, which is planned for 22 acres of industrial property near the Antioch Bridge on Bridgehead Road.
"What's been true then is still true now. It's unnecessary, and it will cost PG&E ratepayers millions of dollars," said Mindy Spatt, a spokeswoman with environment group The Utility Reform Network, or TURN.
TURN, along with environmental groups Californians for Renewable Energy (CARE), Communities for a Better Environment (CBE), Sierra Club and Division of Ratepayer Advocates, have objected to the project. The Public Utilities Commission still has not met the burden of showing that the power plant is needed, said Spatt, adding that the agency decided in April there was no conclusive need for new generation through the year 2020.
The Oakley project was initially approved in December 2010 by the Public Utilities Commission, and some minimal grading work has been done at the site. Six months earlier, that same agency had denied PG&E's application to bring a plant online by 2014 because it wanted to limit the amount of electricity plants were generating.
PG&E now aims to bring the plant online by July 2016. Danville-based Radback Energy Inc. would be responsible for building the plant and selling the plant to the utility once it is up and running.
It remains uncertain if TURN or other groups will take any further action.
"We went to the mat on this one. We haven't had time to consider what, if any, will be our next move," Spatt said.
Radback will wait awhile before restarting construction in case of any further challenges, said Eric Zell, a company spokesman.

The 5-year-old girl who plays Charlie Duncan on Disney's "Good Luck Charlie" is receiving death threats, according to TMZ.
According to law enforcement documents obtained by the website, Mia Talerico began receiving threatening messages last month on her Instagram, including one reading, "Die Mia, (expletive) Die in hell! Kill yourself, you deserve to die."
The suspect sent a picture of Mia's head with a bloody fist covering it, with the caption "Yes, kill you stupid (expletive)."
The girl's mother contacted Disney security which, according to TMZ, got the Los Angeles police department involved, which is now working to track down the suspect.
Mia plays Charlotte (Charlie) Duncan on "Good Luck Charlie," which is slated to end in Feb. 2014, after a four-season run.

PARKERSBURG - A Pennsylvania film company will soon begin production on a zombie movie throughout Parkersburg.
"Pro Wrestlers vs. Zombies" will film at several locations throughout the city, including the former Wood County Jail, Fort Boreman Park, City Park and several restaurants from Jan. 10-21, said director Cody Knotts.
"The film is about big, powerful men and hot babes killing zombies with good, old American violence," he said. "There are no fancy karate moves, just traditional kicking and slamming heads on tables, which is why we call it 'old violence.'"
It will star wrestling icon and actor "Rowdy" Roddy Piper, WWE fighter Matt Hardy, 2009 Penthouse Pet and VH1 reality star Taya Parker, ECW champion Shane Douglas and Howard Stern Woman of the Year Reby Sky.
"Piper is one of the five icons of wrestling and we are extremely blessed to have him and everyone else in the cast," Knotts said. "It will be a great movie with them in it."
Several locals will be in the film, including J. Andrew Clovis of St. Marys and Parkersburg resident Andrew Williams. Local band I Come Alive will be featured.
The production is looking for more locals to be extras and zombies, Knotts said.
To be part of the film, contact Vince Ruffalo at (724) 255-1709.
"We really need people who want to just come, hang out with us and be in our film," Knotts said.
The decision to film in the Mid-Ohio Valley was a quick one, as Parkersburg had not been on the original list of locations, Knotts said.
"We were going to film in Moundsville, but were not hearing back from the city, so we somehow got in contact with Marty Seufer with Wood County and were approved to film in Parkersburg by the Wood County Commission within two days," Knotts said. "It was really great of them to act so quickly; they have made the production process really great here."
Because of the welcome county officials have given Knotts and his crew, 90 percent of the film's production has been moved to the area, he said.
"When you go to a town to film, you end up walking into relationships and Parkersburg has been really great for us, as has West Virginia," Knotts said. "Because of the great treatment we have received here, our goal is to film here again and again."

If Spirit has any meaning, it must be omnipresent, or all-pervading and all-encompassing. There can't be a place where Spirit is not, or it wouldn't be infinite. Therefore, Spirit has to be completely present, right here, right now, in your own awareness. That is, your own present awareness, precisely as it is, without changing it or altering it in any way, is perfectly and completely permeated by Spirit.Furthermore, it is not that Spirit is present but you need to be enlightened in order to see it. It is not that you are one with Spirit but just don't know it yet. Because that would also imply that there is some place Spirit is not. No, according to Dzogchen, you are always already one with Spirit, and that awareness is always already fully present, right now. You are looking directly at Spirit, with Spirit, in every act of awareness. There is nowhere Spirit is not.Further, if Spirit has any meaning at all, then it must be eternal, or without beginning or end. If Spirit had a beginning in time, then it would be strictly temporal, it would not be timeless and eternal. And this means, as regards your own awareness, that you cannot become enlightened. You cannot attain enlightenment. If you could attain enlightenment, then that state would have a beginning in time, and so it would not be true enlightenment. Rather, Spirit, and enlightement, has to be something that you are fully aware of right now. Something you are already looking at right now... We are all already looking directly at Spirit, we just don't recognize it. We have all the necessary cognition, but not the recognition.
