BATTER UP! Pitch your coin design today!
WASHINGTON - The United States Mint today announced the opening of its Baseball Coin Design Competition that will culminate in the Department of the Treasury's selection of the image for the obverse (heads side) of the 2014 National Baseball Hall of Fame Commemorative Coins.
On hand for the launch announcement in the Russell Senate Office Building were Senator Kirsten Gillibrand and Representative Richard Hanna, sponsors of the authorizing legislation; Representative Chris Gibson; Treasurer of the United States Rosie Rios; National Baseball Hall of Fame member Brooks Robinson; National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum President Jeff Idelson; and United States Mint Acting Director Richard A. Peterson.
"Baseball and the United States Mint-two American treasures-are teaming up to produce a historic one-of-a-kind coin program," said Treasurer Rios. "Baseball is a touchstone in American history, and the United States Mint connects Americans to their history through coins. The Treasury Department is proud to be part of this commemorative coin program."
The competition is open to U.S. citizens and permanent residents, ages14 and older, from today, April 11 at noon Eastern Time (ET) through May 11 at noon ET, or until 10,000 entries are received. The winner of the design competition will be awarded $5,000, and the winner's initials will appear on the minted coins. A Kids' Baseball Coin Design Challenge for children ages 13 and under is also being held separately beginning today through May 23.
The National Baseball Hall of Fame Commemorative Coin Act (Public Law 112-152) calls for a three-coin program of $5 gold, $1 silver, and half-dollar clad coins and requires a competition to select a common obverse design emblematic of the game of baseball.
In addition, the $5 gold and $1 silver coins will be the first "curved" coins minted and issued by the United States Mint, with the reverses (tail sides) being convex to more closely resemble a baseball and the obverses being concave to provide a more dramatic design. The winning obverse design will be unveiled by mid-September.
For guidelines, rules and entry instructions, please visit http://www.usmint.gov The United States Mint will use the Web site, www.Challenge.gov, to receive entries for the Baseball Coin Design Competition.
For those thinking about entering the competition, here are some factors to consider:
Winners of the Kids' Baseball Coin Design Challenge for children ages 13 and under will receive a $1 silver National Baseball Hall of Fame Commemorative Coin and a certificate. The winning children's designs will also be showcased on the Department of the Treasury, United States Mint and National Baseball Hall of Fame Web sites. The Kids' Baseball Coin Design Challenge will be hosted on Challenge.gov. For more information, please visit www.usmint.gov/kids/kidsbatterup.
The United States Mint was created by Congress in 1792. It became part of the Department of the Treasury in 1873. It is the Nation's sole manufacturer of legal tender coinage and is responsible for producing circulating coinage for the Nation to conduct its trade and commerce. The United States Mint also produces numismatic products, including proof, uncirculated, and commemorative coins; Congressional Gold Medals; and silver and gold bullion coins. The United States Mint's numismatic programs are self-sustaining and operate at no cost to the taxpayer.

WHITWORTH RESIGNS ARLEE DISTRICT MEETING Arlee Councilman Fred Whit-worth announced at the Arlee District meeting held March 7, that he was going to resign from the Tribal Council. Whit-worth told the 20 people in attendance, that he felt he was not doing an effective job for the Arlee district, and stated that his wife had teen in poor health and he wanted to spend more time with his family. He asked that the people conseder nominations for a replacement to serve out the rest of his Council term, and to bring those recommendations to the next Arlee district meeting March 28. He stated he would hand in his resignation to the Council at the Quarterly meeting A-pril 2, and would give the Council the names of people to consider for his replacement. There will be a Reservation Wide District meeting in Arlee, March 28th, 7:30 p.m. at the Community Center, Pow-Wow grounds. Councifmen Malatare and Whitworth urge all Tribal members, Council men and Tribal program's department heads to attend the meeting. Agenda will include nominations for Arlee Councilman to fillWhitworths vacancy when he resigns. QUARTERLY MEETING QUARTERLY MEETING, APRIL 2,1976 in the GYMNASIUM at the DIXON AGENCY. NEWSPAPER OF THE SALISH, PEND D'ORIELLES AND KOOTENAI TRIBES [OF THE FLATHEAD RESERVATION VOLUME 5 NUMBER 22 FULL MOON OF THE GOOSE FLIGHT MARCH 15, 1976 CONTRACT POWER EXPLAINED An orientation team from the Billings Area office met with the Tribal Council to explain direct contracting through Public Law 93-638, the Indian Self Determination and Education Assistance Act. James Canan, Billings Area Director, gave the opening presentation, explaining how the law came into being. He stated that the Bureau has been contracting for services under the 'Buy Indian Act' of 1910, which did not have guidelines, rules or regulations for the Bureau to go by. Public Law 93-638 spells out exactly how the proceedure for the contracting of various services should take place, whether the BIA continues contracting or the Tribe elects to directly contract. Orientation team members Verlin Belgarde, Assistant Budget Officer; Lome Neill, contracting specialist; and Lois Simons from the Billings contacting office gave a four hour slide presentation and explanation of contracting proceedures and grants available for training Tribal personnel; and Administration if the Tribe elects to directly contract any or all bureau programs. The contracting of services by the Bureau involves many programs, include Public Health Services, Johnson O'Malley funding for Indian education, Forestry Management Program and Social & Welfare services. Several weeks ago the Tribal Council voted to contract directly for the Homemakers Service program; to use this as a pilot project. In the next issue of the Char-Koosta we will attempt to explain P.L. 93-638 in detail and what options are available to the Tribe. PETITION TO STOP NEW COMPLEX Dixon: There has been alot of confusion about the building of the new Tribal Administration complex. Several Tribal members are circulating a petition to stop the relocation of the agency from Dixon to Pablo. Over 300 names have been collected and the organizers said they expect to get alot more before presenting the peti -tion to the Tribal Council. There also seems to be alot of confusion about the funding of the construction. EDA planner Johnny Newman a-gain would like to explain to the members that the Economic Development Administration, a Federal government program, has awarded to the Tribe a grant of $555,000 specifically to build a new Tribal Administration Complex. An additional $100,-000 of Federal Revenue Sharing money was added for the purpose of building the Law & Order cell block. Newman stated that if the petition gathers enough signatures to change the loca -tion, the Council will have to decide now before the architects begin letting out the bids for construction, which may be any day. The next Council meeting is scheduled for March 12, at which time they will be requested to make their decision. ACCIDENT REPORT Dixon: There were 32 accidents on Reservation highways during the Month of February. Tribal Law & Order reports that two deaths resulted from the Accidents, and eleven people received injuries. Seven of the accidents were alcohol related, down from last years 14. of the 65 people involved in the accidents, 14 were Indian. This years accident rate is six higher than last year for the month of February.

Tracy Morgan said it best, "Hoes be winning." For today's groupie, a meal ticket is so 2005. Groupies today are all about "that life," and the fastest way to that life is found with any athlete or entertainer within digging reach. The lifestyle these men lead allows them to think "It ain't tricking if you got it," and boy…they are out here tricking. And shamefully, some of these guys are simpin' too. Whether these men are trickin' or simpin', if a groupie has that "good good" then her life is great.
Football season is here, and the NBA lockout is a reality. Don't underestimate the groupie, they know what's up. To the groupie, the NBA lockout is the equivalent of the 2008 stock market crash. The groupies need the NFL more than the fans need the NFL. This upcoming NFL season, the groupie wants to "just do it" and these NFL players "hear the footsteps" of fake red bottom heels coming.
As part of Complex.com's week-long NFL Preview, we surveyed several NFL players to get a glimpse into just what the groupie scene is like these days. We offered them anonymity in exchange for their candor. Here's what they had to say.
By Richard Boadu for 6Magazine
1. How big of a problem are groupies?
"You really have to protect yourself. Now, not every baby mama is a groupie, but you see a lot of women seeking the benefits of NFL players. I try to be fair that women are naturally attracted to successful men and that [includes] athletes. But now with groupies, it's a bigger beast." - An NFC South Pro Bowler
"A big problem because a lot of guys that never really had 'em before have 'em now, and they don't now how to act with the new attention. Groupies are really bad because they destroy homes. A lot of these players are married with children. These groupies don't give a fuck at all about a man being married. They just care about themselves and what they can get out the situation." - A free agent safety
"Not a problem unless you let them be a problem." - One of the best defensive tackles in the game
2. What city has the most?
"New York, L.A., Miami, Houston, Vegas and wherever the big events are." - A cornerback for a team on the East Coast
"Miami, L.A. and Phoenix." - An East Coast Pro Bowler
"Dallas, Houston…especially Atlanta, and Jacksonville has them too. The women in Puerto Rico and Brazil are easy but they really could care less that you play in the NFL. They just know that you're from out of town and want to show you a good time." - A free agent safety
3. What city has the least?
"I don't know. They are everywhere really. If I had to pick a city, I'd say Buffalo." - NFC East Pro Bowler
"Any city without a pro team." - An NFC South Pro Bowler
4. What city has the hottest groupies?
"Houston, L.A. and Miami." - An NFC South Linebacker
"You can never go wrong with Atlanta, and Miami would be a close second." - State of Florida lineman
"Phoenix for sure." - A current Pro Bowler and Super Bowl champion
5. What city has the ugliest groupies?
"Since they are small towns, Buffalo or Green Bay. They may have some diamonds in the rough though." - AFC East rookie

the first set is non stop fun. yamar, in my opinion, is kind of an ironic opener. yamar always reminds me of good old fashioned out door summer fun. i'm sure that december 12th in providence was not a summery day. anyway, sample gets the newbies in the game, and a very good early set divided sky works very well. trey soars on this one. to this point, it really has a "summer tour" feel. life boy takes the set into a darker realm. punch you in the eye works well. page plays well in the intro. the horse/silent is always a good first set selection, imo. antelope works really well here. trey, as usual, burns through this one. antelope ended up not closing this set down. instead, they play a nice little i'm blue, i'm lonesome, and then drop a nice little set closing coil.
free is always a good set opener. the boys come out ripping right off the bat. like theme from the bottom, this is a song that debuted in '95 and really came out of the gates burning. sparkle keeps the energy level up before a mind blowing down with disease. they were not really at the point yet where they jammed this one out routinely, so i think this one caught the crowd off guard. this jam just keeps moving and moving and moving. fishmand and gordon lock into a really nice groove. page and trey explore nicely right above them. eventually, this one drifts into a nice little lizards. an early simple fits kind of oddly here, but it is well-played. run away jim is also kind of an odd selection, but i like it in the set closing slot. nothing really to see at the end of this show, but oh doggy, that down with disease is an early beast.

tl;dr, not diary worthy.
this may be of some local interest
tl;dr, not diary worthy.
If tl;dr means "too long didn't read" then how exactly do you know it isn't diary worthy?
Do you get extra points for using internet slang even if it is nonsensical?
Sorry it wasn't up to your obviously high standards ...
Was it me or did the play calling seem really inconsistent? Why was Tate throwing the ball when he threw the pick in the endzone? We had just run successful running plays. I know we needed to get in the zone, but we were getting almost 5 yards when V. Smith would run inside. IDK, it just seemed like there was no purpose in the play calling. Setting up the pass with play action after running plays were scarce. I don't agree with some of the plays, but we need to keep RichRod for at least another year to see if he can get it turned around. Bowl game next year along with an tOSU win at tOSU will help too!
That was Tate's choice to make in that play. He thought he could nail it and he didn't. Didn't look like he had much room to run, but that's kind of secondary.
People wanted a change, and we're getting it. We had plenty of kids - Tate included - responsible for making things happen. The experience they gain from all this is going to pay off in spades next year and beyond.
Comes out to a 2.6 average.
Tate threw for 226 yards on 38 attempts (5.9 average).
But for the turnovers, I thought the offense played well against the best defense in the B10.
As to nitpicking the play calling, that's BS. RichRod & GERG had the team motivated and prepared to compete today, and anything other than praise for the coaching effort today is misguided, IMO.
What hurt the most is that our D only allowed 14 points. I never thought in my wildest dreams they would play that well. I am so sick to my stomach that we lost in that fashion. Spotting osu a td after our D makes a quick stop. The turnovers in the redzone are gut wrenching. If we don't spot them a td, make our fg, and settle for fg's on the two redzone turnovers we win this game. I can't believe how awfull TP is as a passer, if he was semi decent this would have been real ugly. Damn do I love B.G.
Probably, but...
I feel awful for Tate Forcier right now. He made some great passes but the mistakes have to weigh heavily on his mind right now. Denard Robinson is a nifty runner but RR has virtually no confidence in his passing right now.
One of these two guys is going to have to step up and play QB next year if U of M is going to have a decent season and make a bowl. Let's hope Tate regains his confidence, or Denard figures out how to make reads and throw accurate passes.
That's what I was going to say. With Tate having such a bad day, if RR had any confidence in DR, he would have been in the game. But passing is what moved the ball today, so he stayed with the Force and got nipped.
If TF and DR don't drastically improve next year, I see DG taking over next year as a freshman. That is, if he doesn't bolt for Florida, who are after him hard now...
Here's the thing though: for most of the game, Tate wasn't having a bad day. Through three quarters, he'd completed about two-thirds of his passes, and while he had two interceptions at that point, both were more good plays by the DBs than anything else.
Tate happened to have a poor fourth quarter, capped by the two bad INTs. That's colored our impression of his overall game. I don't think anyone was calling for him to be benched prior to the fourth quarter. In fact, a lot of people around me groaned every time Denard came in in the first three quarters.
I didn't think I'd be this optimistic after a loss today.
They say one learns more from mistakes than from successes. We can't help but be the most improved team next year with all the "learning" we've done these last few weeks, especially this game.
I wonder why Brian didn't exert czar-like control over the boards...
A. Not coherent enough to do so.
B. Too depressed to think straight.
C. Board not too bad right now. (I have just started looking).
Having Michigan fans write and debate what happened and what they think it means is too much?
If this is to be a true community where fans interact - in addition to reading Brian's unique perspective - then people will have to deal with comments, diaries, and board posts.
I don't think it has descended into site destroying chaos and anger today.
The season is over... Might as well get everything out of our systems now instead of a week later when we are only talking recruiting.
..please go somewhere else. RCMB sounds like a great place for you.
And there is no way DG starts next year unless Forcier is injured.
There is no way anyone but Forcier starts next year barring injury. DG is a talented Freshman that needs seasoning--like Forcier and DRob needed this year.
Best case scenario is a strong year from Tate next year and DG starting next year because he is just too damn good to keep off of the field (a la Terrelle Pryor minus the turtling and running OOB just before first downs
No, I think the best-case scenario is Tate being a four-year starter. Continuity at QB is big. When you start a new QB, there are always going to be associated growing pains (especially when that QB is young). Starting Gardner in 2011 probably turns that into something of a rebuilding year.
I wouldn't throw Gardner in during his freshman season. I would let him learn the offensive system as a red shirt Freshman. Let Tate and D.Rob battle it out next year and groom your potential star QB to take over after 2012 or as early as 2011 if he has the talent to beat out Tate or D.Rob as a red shirt sophomore than so be it!
This team will improve over the next couple of years as RR builds depth and the underclassmen gain experience.
If I'm Tate, I take this game and bury it inside me for the offseason. I study the playbook and game film, I hit the weight room, and I show up next year ready to take over. For as bad a game as he had, the still completed about 60% of his throws for over 225 yards against a really good defense, while being chased out of the pocket and with no running game. He made some bad throws, but he also had some bad luck - Robinson not getting a PI call/DB drop on that one INT; Mathews not fighting for the ball more as the safety game sprinting across the field on another. He made some freshman mistakes, but he also took a team with quite a few freshman and inexperienced players and a porous defense and led them to a 5-7 record. He seems confident, and I doubt one bad game will kill this self-reliance.
People should remember that Forcier has been dealing with a shoulder injury for most of the season now. That doesn't explain all of his mistakes, but the injury had some effect, I'm sure.
To be fair, I don't think the team hit a wall the past few weeks - they just hit two of the best 3 teams in the Big 10. They pull that win out at Purdue, and this team is 6-6 and we are all feeling good about ourselves. The team has made strides this year, and next year the depth should be better and, hopefully, that translates to more wins.
I am enthused about my Michigan. Thank you to each and every cotton-pickin maize and blue heart playing it out for us every week. You did not shirk your manhood and responsibility as some did. Those who stay will be champions,and when this team is lifting the trophy very soon please come back you graduating seniors, you were part of the transition which will take Michigan to the top. Michigan is and will always be the best damn university, we have the History. Thank you for your hard work, next year we get 9-10-or 11
I don't know about hitting a wall. I thought that Michigan (as a team) played a pretty good game. The defense limited OSU to 14 points. This was probably the best game of the season for the defensive side of the ball.
The offense was pretty effective too (aside from the four picks and a fumble). A player or two may have "hit the wall" but I don't think that the team in general looked worn down today.
Forcier didn't "just inexplicably fumble." Ball security was a problem for him all season long. Obviously he chose the worst possible place to do it, but it was not out of character.
Freshman QBs tend to be uneven. Last week at Wisconsin, Forcier had arguably his best game since Notre Dame, albeit in defeat. He was also pretty good vs. Purdue two weeks ago. The TV announcers mentioned that trainers were looking at his shoulder. I don't think he has been physically 100% since the Indiana game.
As for the rest of the team, the defense actually broke through a wall. If anyone had told you that it would hold the Ohio State offense to 14 points, you would have felt pretty good about Michigan's chances.

You could see this one coming.
Former City Engineering Director Teresa Smith has hired an Atlanta-based attorney after being fired from her position in December, and after being taken off of paid administrative leave earlier this month.
News 12's Domonique Benn was there as Augusta Mayor Deke Copenhaver was delivered the news--a letter from Smith and her attorney, Bill Atkins.
The mystery is what's in the letter. Its recipients--Mayor Copenhaver, City Administrator Fred Russell, and the Augusta Commissioners--weren't talking.
"It's just not a good business procedure for a city government and so I will not comment on personnel issues," said Copenhaver.
Teresa Smith was terminated in December.
Since then it's been unclear how Smith would handle her termination.
Commissioner Marion Williams warned the fellow commissioners about firing Smith.
"If there's nothing written up on her and her evaluation is good, then how can you justify firing somebody who has a good evaluation every year?" Williams said.
But commissioners still voted to fire Teresa Smith, and have never agreed on a proposed severance package.
Some expected the former employee would hire an attorney.
"Obviously I can't talk about any details about dialogue between my former employee, but it's not uncommon in these particular situations and we look forward to a positive resolution," says City Administrator Fred Russell.
And while the contents of the letter are unknown, it's clear that Teresa Smith has hired an attorney to resolve her problems.
Teresa Smith could not be reached for comment.

Ulcerative Colitis Health Center
Ulcerative Colitis - Topic Overview
Ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease are the most common types of inflammatory bowel disease. Ulcerative colitis affects only the colon and rectum. Crohn's can affect any part of the digestive tract. To learn more about Crohn's disease, see the topic Crohn's Disease.
Ulcerative colitis is a disease that causes inflammation and sores (ulcers) in the lining of the large intestine (colon ). It usually affects the lower section (sigmoid colon) and the rectum. But it can affect the entire colon. In general, the more of the colon that's affected, the worse the symptoms will be.
The disease can affect people of any age. But most people who have it are diagnosed before the age of 30.
Experts aren't sure what causes it. They think it might be caused by the immune system overreacting to normal bacteria in the digestive tract. Or other kinds of bacteria and viruses may cause it.
You are more likely to get ulcerative colitis if other people in your family have it.
The main symptoms are:
Some people also may have a fever, may not feel hungry, and may lose weight. In severe cases, people may have diarrhea 10 to 20 times a day.
The disease can also cause other problems, such as joint pain, eye problems, or liver disease.
In most people, the symptoms come and go. Some people go for months or years without symptoms (remission). Then they will have a flare-up. About 5 to 10 out of 100 people with ulcerative colitis have symptoms all the time.1
Doctors ask about the symptoms, do a physical exam, and do a number of tests. Testing can help the doctor rule out other problems that can cause similar symptoms, such as Crohn's disease, irritable bowel syndrome, and diverticulitis.
Tests that may be done include:
- A colonoscopy. In this test, a doctor uses a thin, lighted tool to look at the inside of your entire colon. At the same time, the doctor may take a sample (biopsy) of the lining of the colon.
- Blood tests, which look for infection or inflammation.
- Stool sample testing to look for blood, infection, and white blood cells.

"If you hurt angus we will hurt you"
"Angus is amazballs"
"Angus is amazballs"
por Ramond 23 de Outubro de 2014
Angus is an vulnerable and insecure person. Unfortunately, because of this he feels the need to push others down below him because it makes him feel better about himself if he sees someone suffer more than he has. He pretends he's hardcore and dirty but really he's a kind boy who's upset about how he treats others, especially girls. He flirts with all of them. However he seems to have done this so much he cant stop. and twisted the rules of life and love and he looks at the world a different way. He needs love though. He needs someone to care for him. He has a lot of love in his heart, else he wouldn't hurt the way he does. He's beautiful. He just doesn't see it. So show him.

The Eagle County Landfill has done some savvy vehicle shopping that is projected to save the county $80,000 to $100,000 per year by 2013.On Tuesday, Aug. 7, the Eagle County Commissioners approved the purchase of a new compactor vehicle that is smaller than the current one. The old one has already been rebuilt once during its time with the county. A compactor vehicle is heavy equipment used for packing down trash in the landfill to squeeze out air pockets and maximize space."We don't have as much tonnage coming into the landfill so we don't need as big of a compactor, and a smaller one is cheaper to operate and maintain," said Ken Whitehead, director of Eagle County Solid Waste and Recycling. "Money was already being set aside in previous years to replace the large compactor we have now, which would cost $750,000, and one of my operators had the idea to go with this smaller one that costs $367,000."The old compactor is a CAT 836 that weighs about 61 tons. The new one is a BOMAG 472 RB that weighs about 26 tons."Because of the money that was already being put aside and with the lower cost of the BOMAG, we will basically have two compactors paid for," Whitehead said. "We will be saving a lot of money and doing it quickly."Whitehead said his operators went to a landfill in New Mexico to test drive the BOMAG and gave it a thumbs up. "The good thing about times when money is tight is that it's easier to get a good deal like this from companies as they try to be more competitive," Whitehead said of the BOMAG's purchase price, which comes with a five-year, 10,000-hour, bumper-to-bumper warranty.Regarding the drop in tonnage coming into the landfill, Whitehead said 2007 was the peak, which saw a total of 115,000-plus tons come in. That amount has since dropped dramatically. Whitehead is anticipating a total of 62,000 tons next year — a 46 percent drop from 2007."Less material coming across our scales translates as less income for the landfill and we're having to do more with less," Whitehead said.The most dramatic drop was 2008 to 2009. The landfill's total intake went from 106,000 tons to 90,000.The biggest factor in the decline is construction and demolition waste, which is projected to be a mere 13,000 tons in 2013. That's a drop of 75 percent from 2007 when 51,000 tons of C&D waste came in.Municipal waste is anticipated to be down only 25 percent from 2007, with 40,000 tons compared to 53,000 tons."The amount of municipal waste doesn't change much," Whitehead said.As for the old CAT, there is plenty of time to decide what to do with it. Whitehead said it could be auctioned off for at least $200,000 or stored for later use, should it be needed again.

I have taken up swimming on average 40 lengths 4 days a week due to problems with my knees and back, but I also suffer from Asthma and need ideas on breathing issues in swimming as I am unable to put my head under the water as this starts an asthma attack.
Please help as I have searched the net with no success.
Is your asthma related to panic attacks? I have had similar issues swimming in open water - the fear of sea monsters (or whatever it is that freaks me out) would set my asthma off.
What I've done is to close eyes when putting my face in the water so I can shut out some of the stimuli that sets off panic. As I got used to my face being in the water it would get better.
Another option, if you do work on your kick using a kickboard put your face under the water to breath out and again get used to the feeling of having your face in the water but with the security of holding onto the kick board.
Don't worry about bilateral breathing or breathing every 3, 4, 5, etc strokes, breath when you need to and just get comfortable with the process.
Good luck!
If you have the time, I would look into a few lessons or look into the book "Total Immersion". The technique starts off with you on your back and slowly transitioning to face in the water - which if that face-in-the-water is the panic issue - this will help loads!
Good luck!
You need to see your Doctor and get your asthma under control. There are several ways to trigger asthma attacks and swimming is one. So it needs to be treated so the attacks do not occur. This has to happen before you will improve.
Once the asthma is in control, then try total immersion, this will help alot amd there will not be any attacks
I suffer big time from asthma and I'm a triathlete. Swimming is my strongest, but it hasn't always been.
I am an older man who is just starting to swim, At least correctly. I have asthma also, "Bigtime". My breathing is under control enough that I don't have attacks. I ran two 1/2 marathons during the yr. I want to start doing Tri's next yr.
However, I get winded after 1 length and need to rest befor I continue. This rest might be as long as a couple minutes. How did you overcome being winded?
Larry, keep at it. It was like that for me too. Try swimming with a pool bouy and going very easy. It took me 3 years and now I can keep up and even out pace the triclub swimmers.
Tracey, your asthma is not under control if you have attacks.
To give you both a idea of what I do. I see a lung Doc every 3 months and my lungs are testing. My lung volumes test are on avg 2.6L of air for every full intake/exhale. Avg person is 4.4L so I have 50+%lung capacity. I take 3 medications, Symbicort, Pulmicort and Syngaler. So, you need to ensure your asthma is fully treated under Lung Specialist Doc care.
Never Give Up!
Thanks for the reply. It's good to hear of someone who has gone through this and has been sucessful in beating it. Could you explain the work you did with the bouy.
Thanks again,
Hello-I also have mild asthma and I have found that swimming with a snorkle (finis-not to promote a brand) has helped alot....I am not sure that total immersion types would promote their use-but it has been an adaptation that has helped me....also see your doctor as others have recommended....sometimes I take a small dose of my inhaler about an hour or so before swimming....but again see your doctor first and happy swimming!!

What it is
With funding support from tax increment financing (TIF) and a community improvement district (CID), Supermarket Developers, Inc., a subsidiary of Associated Wholesale Grocers, is constructing a new retail center at the intersection of Routes 5 and F in Sunrise Beach. Woods Supermarket is the anchor store of Sunrise Beach Market Center. A fueling station and 13,000 square foot retail strip center are also planned at the development. An outlot within the 13 acre TIF area is also part of the site plan, but is less firm than the other parts of the plan.
What's new
Woods Supermarket is nearing completion as Supermarket Developers, Inc. ramps up work at the construction site to get the anchor store complete. The targeted opening date for Woods is May 21, according to CEO Craig Easter, but that is contingent on mother nature. With the rainy spring season that the area has seen so far, weather is a factor in the construction time table. But Easter said construction is pretty much on schedule right now. The Memorial holiday weekend will begin May 24.
What's next
While much of the outdoor construction has been done - including a massive excavation effort - crews were working on the parking lot May 8. Inside the 54,540 square supermarket, department directors have begun setting out groceries. Sometime next week, they will likely start on perishables, Easter said. An adjacent 3,000 square fueling station that will have five dispensers - 10 pump handles - should be done in the next week to 10 days.

The application is complete and the Salvation Army plans to send the paperwork in next Friday, which will put them in line to compete for $65 million from the Kroc Center.
Last year the estate of the late Joan Kroc, the wife of McDonald's founder Ray Kroc, awarded $1.5 billion to Salvation Army centers across the country in order to build community centers. But money for our region is running out and our local center has had to step up to compete.
It's a race against time and Salvation Army's application will soon be in the mail.
"We learned that there are 17 other Salvation Army Corps which are in the entire Southern Territory that are competing for the money," said Tracey Parker, Salvation Army.
Derek Dugan helped to write the application and identify key components required in the community center, which will be located in this greenspace near Chafee Park. They plan to send the paperwork in next Friday.
"With the funds being limited we found out that we are behind the eight ball. We needed to hurry and get this project in before the others because the project is essentially a land rush at the moment," Dugan said.
But Salvation Army workers feel confident their application will make it through the divisional level in Atlanta.
"They already know what's in the application they love it. We got a 100% unanimous vote that they will just stamp it and send it on," Parker said.
The next stop is the territorial level also in Atlanta oversees the entire southern district. If Augusta gets the stamp of approval, the Kroc Corporation would give our local Salvation Army 200 percent of what Augusta expects to raise. That means $32.5 million toward the operation cost. Augusta would have to come up with the other $32.5 million for operations as well.
While the Chafee Park Building will virtually remain untouched. The Kroc Center will be in this centralized area and while there's plans to have an arts and education facility and a Boys and Girls' Club among other things, it will also help in the city's plan to end homelessness.
Adding the one-stop facility is required for the grant, but it's something Augusta has also planned.
"One of the easiest components to add to the Kroc Center was the one-stop facility because it fell under the Mayor's 10-year plan and also the Kroc estate," Dugan said.
The Salvation Army is ready to turn this greenspace into a multi-million dollar facility, but all things must go as planned.
"We anticipate knowing something potentially within the next six weeks," Parker said.
The Salvation Army shelter and soup kitchen on Greene Street will remain. However, administrative offices would be moved to the new facility.

Project Number: 3080-21220-006-04
Start Date: Sep 01, 2013
End Date: Aug 31, 2016
Experimental sites will be established in ND, SD, NE, and KS in a RCBD comparing two treatments in four replicates. The treatments will be conventional corn preceded by winter cover crops versus Bt corn preceded by bare soil. Insects will be monitored at each site over the season using soil cores, quadrat samples, and whole plant counts. Root damage and stalk tunneling will be recorded for each plot, as will yield. And economic model will be developed that compares the relative profitability of these two pest management systems. A logic model has been created to disseminate the research results to end users.

Karl Lagerfeld Runway Show Features Pregnant Model in Neoprene Gown
PARIS – Karl Lagerfeld, always up to some hi jinx, closed his fall 2014 haute couture show with a pregnant model. She wore a Baroque-inspired wedding gown of neoprene.
"I love pregnant women," Mr. Lagerfeld said after the show at the Grand Palais on Tuesday., wearing his uniform of powder-gray hair and driving gloves. "They're very noble."
No pillows for Chanel – the model, Ashleigh Good, was actually pregnant. That bump can't be faked, Mr. Lagerfeld said, because only a truly pregnant woman moves in a pregnant way. Ms. Good, in fact, kept her hands protectively over her belly as she toured the runway with the designer.
Neoprene was another trick up Mr. Lagerfeld's sleeves. The scuba fabric gives structure and curves to clothing that haute couture is famous for, but without the boning, seaming and other hidden devices that give the clothes their shape. "It's couture without the couture," he quipped. "The same dress in a duchesse satin would look dowdy."
The Chanel neoprene and other shapes mimicked 18th/century women's clothes that were inspired, he said, by a slightly surreal outdoor fireplace and mirror that hung at the Swiss-French architect Le Corbusier's Paris apartment. They were destroyed decades ago, but the designer has seen pictures and said he'd always wanted to use them for a collection.
The inspiration translated to shapely gowns that will probably be fodder for magazine shoots in upcoming issues. But other parts of the collection — tweeds galore — will sell to actual clients – particularly young ones that are looking for Chanel couture bermuda shorts. How many women need thousands of dollars worth of custom-made Bermuda shorts? The world is full of wealthy young women.
"Very often, the clients of couture are very young," Mr. Lagerfeld said. "They are the second wife."

"Hello Mrs. Goodson,
I just received your message last night. I have wanted to give you a call for a while now to update you but just haven't had the time. We have moved out of the hotel and found a 3 bedroom house that we are renting. The landlord wasn't going to give it to us at first. He said he wasn't comfortable renting to us because my husband was the only one working at the time and we had not so strong credit ratings and scores. We left after the interview, got five blocks away, and he called us back and changed his mind! I was blessed with a car free and clear on Easter Sunday, two weeks after we got our place! I stayed at my internship for one month only but that was because the place that I interned for in 2010 called me back for a two week assignment that turned out to be paid and then decided to hire me at the end of the completion of the assignment. My family and I are blessed beyond belief and I thank you and Mr. Charles for all of your help and words of encouragement and thank God that I was able to meet with you guys. Please pass on this good news as I appreciate you both. I will definitely keep in contact. Thanks again!
Very truly yours,

Some North Augusta residents are upset after they found out gators were being killed in their neighborhood park. (WRDW-TV / July 2, 2012)
News 12 at First at Five / Monday, July 2, 2012
NORTH AUGUSTA, S.C. -- Like a lot of people, David Kiser likes taking his children to Brick Pond Park for one reason -- the chance of spotting a gator.
"I've seen everything from probably about 2 and half to 3 foot to -- the biggest one we seen was probably about 9 or 9 and a half foot," he said.
But news that the City of North Augusta hired contractors to kill some of these gators has Kiser biting mad.
"Just the thought of that absolutely disgusts me," he said. "I don't tend to be a violent person, but I'd have snatched their weapons from them. You know, I'm a military veteran. It's ridiculous."
The City of North Augusta obtained two permits with the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources. Two smaller gators had been fed by park patrons and were getting a little too close.
"We made the difficult decision to remove them from the pond system now, rather than allow them to get much larger to the point where they could potentially causes someone some harm," said North Augusta Director of Engineering and Public Works Tom Zeaser.
Zeaser says in South Carolina removing the gators usually means killing them and that's what was done here.
Maria Bussiere and her daughter watched it happen.
"What I saw the other day was cruelty, in my opinion," Bussiere said. "I had to turn away, because she was upset, and the next thing we know, they're carrying them off."
The contractors used a crossbow with a fixed line to snag them, then kill them. It's a process Zeaser admits isn't pretty. He just hopes people stop feeding them, because, as signs throughout the park make clear, a fed gator is a dead gator.
Kiser, who's been going to the park for two years, says the city shouldn't live by that motto. He says the gators that were killed were small, and he doesn't believe they were a threat. He says they should be relocated rather than killed.
The city, however, says that's hard to do. Zeaser says most of the time they just become a problem somewhere else. He just hopes people stop feeding them, because the park was built for people and wildlife to co-exist peacefully.

Artificial Reefs: Ocean Junk or Help for an Endangered Ecosystem?
Coral reefs around the world are in trouble. According to the World Wildlife Fund, about one-quarter of coral reefs are considered damaged beyond repair, with another two-thirds under serious threat. Some suffer from heavy fishing pressures, while others are succumbing to pollution or careless tourism. Climate change, with its attendant rising sea temperatures, is exacerbating the problem, speeding coral deaths.
More than half a billion people live near corals, relying on them for food, shelter from storm surges and the income that tourism brings. With natural reefs diminishing, artificial reefs are increasingly gaining favor. These structures usually take the form of sunken ships, decrepit oil platforms or other human trash.
But is depositing more human refuse in the oceans in order to create artificial reefs healthy for the environment — and for us?

ST. PAUL, Minn. -- It's not as if Marty Havlat wasn't aware Friday that his former team has more points than the one he now plays for.
"I watch the standings, I watch them like every other team," the Sharks forward said of the Minnesota Wild, the team he will face Saturday afternoon. "I know they're doing well."
Minnesota is third in the Western Conference with 36 points, and is 13-5-1 over its last 19 games. The Sharks are clinging to the eighth and final playoff spot in the West, one point ahead of Dallas but only four points behind the Wild.
While Havlat concedes that he keeps an eye on the standings, he doesn't compare his numbers with those of Dany Heatley, the player Havlat was traded for in one of two blockbuster deals in the summer of 2011?
"No, not at all," Havlat said. "He does his best, I'm doing my best."
Hockey players are combative on the ice, but generally circumspect off it. Outsiders may declare that Minnesota has gotten the better of the trades to this point, but the players themselves generally won't go there, even when handed the opportunity to stir the pot.
Asked, for example, how he felt about the Sharks' current struggles, Wild forward Devin Setoguchi was diplomatic.
"Ah, I don't know. I mean, it's a tough year. It's such a condensed year, if a team has a bad stretch things can go bad for you," he told the Minneapolis Star Tribune. "But just because they've been struggling doesn't mean they're not a good team. They have a lot of power out there, a lot of skill."
And on the notion that Minnesota got the better of the deals?
"Brent Burns is a great hockey player. ... Both teams traded for what they needed, so it's worked out," said Setoguchi, who has been on a tear with six goals and eight points in his last five games.
Setoguchi was a key element of the first trade that brought Burns to San Jose. The Sharks also sent prospect Charlie Coyle to the Wild, and the teams traded draft picks as well -- Minnesota getting San Jose's first-round selection, San Jose getting Minnesota's in the second round.
Heatley, too, gave the politically correct answer when the Minneapolis newspaper asked him about San Jose's recent troubles -- "Every team is in the dogfight so we're going to have play in a good game to beat 'em," he said -- then self-corrected when he was asked if he thought the Wild came out ahead in the trades.
"Yeah, I mean, obviously Coyle and Seto are playing really well right now. ... I won't comment on who is doing what. We're happy to have those two guys, and Mitchy as well. We like where our team is and we're looking forward to tomorrow," said Heatley, who has pounded the nets for 32 goals in 121 games since coming to Minnesota.
"Mitchy" is Torrey Mitchell, another former Shark on the Wild roster. When San Jose did not offer a contract extension, Mitchell signed a three-year, $5.7 million deal with Minnesota.
Burns did draw a little attention last season when he said, maybe half-jokingly, that he hoped the Wild would not win another game, drawing comparisons to not wishing the other person well when a relationship breaks up badly. All part of having a competitive nature, he said Friday, and ultimately nothing against the guys he will be facing on the ice.
"You're friends with those guys," he said. "You watch how they're doing and you talk to those guys a lot."
One person who won't weigh in on who wins any trade is Sharks coach Todd McLellan.
"That's not our job," he said. "Our job is to welcome the new players into the organization and get the most we can out of them. ... When it's all said and done, we're happy with the people we have here and we don't sit back and keep score of who won what.''
And he doesn't see Burns' recent success as a forward as something that necessarily brings things more into balance.
"I've always been of the belief that a good defenseman is harder to find than a top line forward," Melrose said. "That's why Burns -- he's always been intriguing because I look at him and I look at his physical ability, the way he skates -- is a guy that should be a very good number one or number two defenseman in the NHL."
From McLellan's perspective, where Burns plays is secondary.
"We'd like to have the team succeeding, winning more games than we're losing," the coach said. "When you look at our team as a whole and you say maybe we're not strong in this area and maybe we have depth in this area -- we've got to try and move people around. That's why this has happened. Burns has come in and been a very good forward for us."
