The following is an excerpt from The New Whole Grains Cookbook by Robin Asbell (Chronicle Books, 2007). The excerpt is from Chapter 7: Whole Desserts.
Pecan and Wild Rice-Stuffed Squash Serves 4
These tiny, one-serving squashes are great containers for savory flavors. This classic dish is a great way to use wild rice, but buckwheat and quinoa would also be delicious. The nuts really bring out the nutty qualities in the rice.
2 small Sweet Dumpling squash or acorn squash, 6 inches or less in diameter 1/2 cup wild rice 1 1/2 cups water 3 tablespoons fresh sage1/2 cup fresh parsley1 tablespoon olive oil 2 stalks celery, minced1/2 large onion, chopped (1 cup) 1 teaspoon dried marjoram 1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper Pinch of ground nutmeg1 teaspoon salt 3/4 cup pecan halves
1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Oil 2 baking sheets. Cut each squash in half from the stem to the tip. Scoop out the seeds and place cut-side down on the baking sheets. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes, or until easily pierced with a paring knife. Let cool. Reduce the oven heat to 375°F.
2. In a medium saucepan, cook the wild rice in the water, simmering until it is tender and starting to split. If there is any excess water, drain the rice in a strainer. Finely chop the sage and parsley. In a small sauté pan, heat the olive oil and sauté the celery, onion, and sage over medium heat until just softened. Stir in the parsley, marjoram, pepper, nutmeg, and salt, and take the pan off the heat.
3. When the squash halves are cool, use a spoon to scoop the flesh out, leaving a bit behind to keep the skins from tearing. In a large bowl, mash the flesh coarsely and reserve. Select 16 intact pecan halves for garnish, then use a food processor to grind the remaining pecans to powder. Add the ground pecans, the sautéed mixture, and the wild rice to the squash in the bowl and mix thoroughly. Stuff the mixture into the squash shells and top with the reserved pecan halves. Place in a casserole or baking dish large enough to hold all of the squash halves. Bake for 30 minutes, or until the tops feel firm to the touch.

FREMONT -- A "high-security alert" at an East Bay hospital Wednesday was the result of suspicious items found on its property, but police and officials said it is safe for people to be there.
Fremont police did not comment on the nature of the "suspicious items" found by Washington Hospital staff "several days ago" but did say Wednesday afternoon that it appears they were left behind accidentally by a patient who came to the hospital in an ambulance.
"That's the way it's leaning," Sgt. Jeff Campbell said.
The items were suspicious enough to touch off an investigation that initially included the FBI but no longer does, Campbell said. It did not warrant a response by a bomb squad, he said.
KTVU, citing a hospital alert that went out to staff, said the suspicious items were "components of an explosive device." Hospital spokesman Chris Brown confirmed a memo went out to hospital staff but did not comment about the KTVU report.
"No explosives were ever found," Campbell said to this newspaper. "As far as the components of a bomb? When I think of components for a bomb, I think of something that's ready to go. This was definitely not that. But some of the items were suspicious."
The hospital was operating normally on Wednesday, Brown said, though under strict security regulations.
"We don't want people who need to come here for care bypassing that care in any way over concerns they may have over this," Brown said. "Safety is our top priority, not only for the patients but for the doctors and caregivers and everyone involved here. That's why an email went out, to alert (staff)."
Campbell said the investigation is ongoing but said the items found were legal ones.
"We don't know if they were discarded property or left behind to scare somebody," he said.
Campbell said the items were found "several days ago," but that police were not alerted until Tuesday around noon.
Brown did not say how long the hospital expects to be under the high-security alert.

After No. 13 Kansas State dismantled his Longhorns 81-69 Saturday night in yet another loss in the worst season in his 15 years at Texas, Barnes sounded like he's seen enough.
Kansas State, sitting in a tie for first with No. 9 Kansas, has four games left to win its first league championship since winning the Big Eight in 1976-77. For the Longhorns, Barnes sent an ominous message that he's watching to see who has given up and who wants to fight for a future with his team.
"Who's in?" Barnes said. "If guys check out, decisions will be made."
Myck Kabongo scored 24 points for the Longhorns (12-15, 4-10 Big 12), the most he's scored in four games since returning from a 23-game NCAA suspension. Sheldon McClellan, who has been in and out of favor with Barnes all season, scored 15 after playing just one minute in a midweek win over TCU.
"If I were Myck, I would be upset. He came back playing as hard as he can," Barnes said. "The thing that bothers me is the effort, from the very beginning ... there isn't one guy on this team that hasn't had a chance."
Kansas State has no such problems. The Wildcats (22-5, 11-3) are rolling and getting production from all over the court.
Against Texas, Kansas State shot 50 percent from 3-point range, making nine against the team ranked No.
Rodney McGruder led the Wildcats with 20 points, leading four Wildcats in double figures
"We're trying to win a championship you know?" said Kansas State guard Angel Rodriguez, who had 16 points and six assists. "We've got to play at a high level. We've still got a couple of games. If we keep doing what we do, we should be all right."
Kansas State beat Texas by 26 points in their first meeting and came into this one with an eye on testing the Longhorns from long range. Kansas State's first three field goals were 3-pointers.
The Wildcats built a 29-19 lead and looked to be in complete control in the first half, but a rash of fouls sent Texas to the free throw line 22 times in the half.
Texas trimmed the lead to three points in the final minute before Rodriguez made two free throws and a Texas turnover set up a 3-pointer by Shane Southwell at the buzzer. Texas was trying to set up for the final shot, but Kabongo dribbled the ball off his left foot. Omari Lawrence scooped up the loose ball and passed to Southwell for the running-3-pointer that made it 40-32.
"That was big," Texas freshman Ioannis Papapetrou said. "Coach talked about it after the game. It changed the momentum. Instead of a one-possession game, it was a three-possession game."
The Wildcats quickly asserted control in the second half, opening a 15-point lead. Rodriguez sparked the run with an easy steal at midcourt and layup and Will Spradling was surrounded by three Texas players and still won a scramble a loose ball at their feet to set up a layup by Thomas Gipson. Southwell made two more 3-pointers and the Wildcats led 65-46 with about 10 minutes to play.
"They moved the basketball," Kansas State coach Bruce Weber said. "They were more aggressive on defense this time than the first time, we kept our composure, made the extra pass that got some easy goals."

VA hospital in Asheville picked for electronic data exchange
Published: Wednesday, September 28, 2011 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, September 28, 2011 at 12:02 a.m.
ASHEVILLE — Charles George VA Medical Center has been selected as a pilot site for a new electronic data exchange enterprise that will allow veterans' health records to be accessed electronically by health care providers in 16 Western North Carolina hospitals.
The Virtual Lifetime Electronic Record program allows health records to be shared securely over the Nationwide Health Information Network. Enrollment in the program is voluntary.
"We are committed to offering new technologies that enhance our abilities to provide veterans with high-quality health care," Medical Center Director Cynthia Breyfogle said.
"By enrolling in VLER, veterans authorize VA and participating hospitals to share specific health information electronically, safely, securely and privately. Access to health records ensures each provider the most comprehensive understanding of the veteran's health issues to include health history, medications and allergies. Additionally, the system should eliminate redundant tests, save money, and in the case of an emergency, save precious time locating a patient's health-related information."
VA selected the Asheville area because it has a high concentration of veterans, military retirees and members of the Guard and Reserve, along with the capabilities of the advanced digital network of the Western North Carolina Health Network.
The Asheville program builds on the success of VLER pilots in places such as San Diego, Hampton Roads/Tidewater, Va., and Spokane, Wash.
Information network
Veterans treated by VA centers often are seen in community hospitals for consults, specialty care or emergencies.
During the past 12 months, more than 9,000 veterans enrolled at the Charles George VA Medical Center received some care at one of the 16 Western North Carolina hospitals that are part of a health information exchange, WNC Data Link.
The WNC Health Network's members include CarePartners Health Services, Mission Hospital, Pardee Hospital, Park Ridge Health, Rutherford Regional Medical Center, St. Luke's Hospital and Transylvania Regional Hospital.
"A visit to the closest emergency department can result in a veteran being cared for by a provider who may not have all of the necessary information," said WNC Health Network Chief Executive Officer Janice Lato. "A collaborative partnership between the VA medical center and the 16 hospitals in the WNC Health Network will allow providers to retrieve health records from either system."
All veterans are invited to take part in the health information exchange pilot. Those who choose to take part will authorize their public and private sector health care providers and doctors to share specific health information electronically, safely, securely, and privately.
Interested Veterans can get more detailed information on the pilot program by calling the Charles George VA Medical Center at 828-298-7911, ext. 5658.

You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"I received an invitation made by Wedding Paper Divas some time ago and thought the card was beautiful. When I had the opportunity to order invitations myself, I decided to use them and am very pleased with the final product.The paper quality, printing and opportunity to personalize are wonderful features. Friends and family commented on how nice it was. I do wish the company had the option for overnight delivery. I ordered on short notice with a holiday weekend coming up and would have liked the speedier service even if it meant there was an extra charge. I would highly recommend this product/company"
"We used this for our son's Groom's Dinner Invitation to let the wedding party and others involved in the wedding to know the date and time of both the wedding rehearsal and the Groom's dinner. Everyone commented on the nice invitation card sent. We used the shimmer paper and a red color for their names which was real striking with the black text. We choose to keep the card rectangle shaped...it looked real classy."
"I was under a time crunch, so I literally just used one of the templates available, I would normally change things, colors, etc. but did not have time. My order came quickly, and I was completely satisfied with the quality and design of my invitation. Very easy and effortless process!"
"This design was just perfect for our dinner. It was pretty and elegant, but casual, and it allowed enough space for all the wording we needed, without looking crowded. I was looking for something that highlighted the couple's names, rather than the dinner itself. We used the space on the back of the postcard for listing the entree options for guests to choose from."
"The invitation was exactly as I expected it to be. Wonderful quality. Could not be more pleased. Personalizing the invitation was made easy and was exactly as I wanted upon my first review. 5 stars all around!"

If you live in Aiken County, you've probably dialed 211 to get important information.
The service provides phone numbers, even counseling 24 hours a day.
Its growing popularity is now requiring more volunteers than ever.
It's been around for more than a decade, but it took devastation as severe as the train collision and chemical spill that rocked the small town of Graniteville on January 6, 2005 for many to realize how crucial Aiken County's 211 system can be.
"By being there for Graniteville we took a lot of the load off police for information, and suddenly found out what a treasure this is," says volunteer Jim Schmidt.
It's a round-the-clock help line that can provide almost any information you need, or at least link you to the right person.
"Calls are spread out to legal services to finding out how to get a business license," Jim says.
But more often than not, it's the mere sound of a human voice on the other line the caller is looking for.
"Sometimes it's just a matter of talking and listening to them and giving them something positive to hold onto," says Jim.
And all of it is done in the comfort of a volunteer's home.
"It's not too bad. I can do other things; I cook and read while I'm waiting for a phone call," Jim says.
But to provide the service 24 hours a day and seven days a week, it takes dozens of volunteers to man the phone lines.
And in order to keep it that way, the help line needs more lending ears like Jim--especially if it goes nationwide.
Last month he says 10 shifts were left unfilled.
"There's not much difference between 211 and 911. Somebody in 911 is a physical situation; someone in 211 is in an emotional one," says Jim.
If you'd like to find out more on how you can help volunteer four or five hours of your time to help keep the service going, you can visit the help line's website at aiken211.org.

Full Life Cycle
The use of a composting toilet system allows for human waste to become soil amendment for trees, landscaping and non-edible plants.
The reduction in use of reticulated water for flushing, combined with the possible use of grey water can be a significant benefit in reducing home water usage.
Food Waste Management
Composting toilet systems may also be accept certain food waste, which will reduce the amount of food waste that will end up in the landfill.
Reduce Monthly Costs
The use of composting toilet system users benefit from the reduction or elimination of sewage rates and metered water billing, which can result in the savings of $400 – $650 per year.
Location Independence
Systems can be installed in a multitude of environments, including remote, high water table, lack of municipal water supply and environmentally sensitive areas.
Waste Management Facility Infrastructure Reduction
Each composting toilet system that is installed reduces the amount of waste that would need to be transported and treated at the local treatment facility. This will help to reduce some of the capacity and prolong the useful life of existing infrastructure.

MINNEAPOLIS -- The A's are taking the closer's role away from Jim Johnson for the time being and will use a committee of Luke Gregerson, Ryan Cook, Sean Doolittle and Dan Otero in that role.
On Wednesday, for the third time in five appearances this season, Johnson was ineffective. Given a 4-2, ninth-inning lead to protect against the Minnesota Twins, he allowed four of the five batters he faced to reach base before being replaced by Otero. The A's won 7-4 in 11 innings, with Otero pitching the final 2 2/3 innings.
"We're going to give Jim a break from closing," manager Bob Melvin said Thursday. "There's no timetable, and I'm not going to say that I'll be looking to give him a soft landing. We just want to let him get straightened out. And we have plenty of guys to do this."
Said Johnson, "You've got to do what's best for the team, and Bob's the manager. Obviously it's not an ideal situation, but I'll fight to get through it ."
Johnson, 30, combined for 101 saves the previous two years with the Baltimore Orioles, whom the A's obtained him from during the off-season. With the A's, Johnson is 0-2 with one blown save and an 18.90 ERA. Otero got the blown save against the Twins on Wednesday when he gave up a bases-loaded sacrifice fly while wriggling out of the mess created by Johnson.

NORTH AUGUSTA, S.C. -- A handful of protesters took to the sidewalks of North Augusta Monday afternoon. They were trying to catch the attention of a U.S. senator who was passing by.
Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-SC, was on his way to an event at the North Augusta Municipal Building sponsored by the North Augusta Chamber of Commerce. The protesters were members of the CSRA Peace Alliance. They're concerned that Graham has taken positions the would lead to a war with Iran.
Iran was just one of the topics News 12 covered in a wide-ranging interview and Sen. Graham wasn't backing down. He says taking a hard line with Iran is the only way to go.
And make no mistake: Graham says Iran is building a nuclear weapon.
"If you think they're building a nuclear power plant, we're on different planets," Graham said. "But here's what I fear the most about Iran with a nuclear weapon. They will share that technology with terrorists and it will come to our shores."
Graham is also concerned about deep cuts that are coming here at home to our own military because of what he calls a dumb law and something called sequestration. In other words, automatic budget cuts that will happen in January.
"The Defense Department will have $600 billion cut out of its budget over the next decade on top of the $487 billion we've already cut," Graham said. "What does it mean for this area? Fort Gordon, Fort Jackson -- all of the defense installations in Georgia and South Carolina are gonna be hurting."
Graham said the result will leave us with the smallest Navy since 1915, the smallest Air Force in the history for the Air Force and the smallest Army since 1940.
"It is a dumb idea; it is gutting your military at a time you need it most. It begins in January, and I'm gonna do everything I can to stop these defense cuts," he said.
News 12 also asked about Afghanistan.
"On Afghanistan, the big question there is: Are we training the enemy with deadly results? What can we do about American casualties there?" Rogers asked.
"We need to vet the troops better -- the Afghan Security Forces," Graham said. "But the enemy is trying to break our resolve. They know, the Taliban understands, that if there's a partnership between the Afghans and the United States, they're history."
All at a time when the challenges overseas seem to be growing.
"I've never seen a situation since I've been in Congress where our friends are so afraid and our enemies so emboldened," Graham said. "I think it's a policy of apology and appeasement that's coming home to roost."
Out of all the problems we talked about here and around the world, Graham says the one that worries him the most is Iran getting a nuclear weapon.

Sylvania, Ga--When ever a team undergoes a coaching change, more often then not it takes a year or two before everyone's on the same page. For Screven County, these kids now feel, they and coach Greg Mainor are ready to get things rolling in the right direction.
No question it was an adjustment for the Gamecocks and the end result was a three and seven record. This year, everything is more familiar to the kids and the coaches and it should make a big difference in the final product.
"Yea I think our kids are more confident in our schemes and the things I'm trying to teach them." said coach Greg Mainor "I do feel a whole lot better then I did last year coming in since I know all the kids now. It took a while for them to get adjusted to my style and everything and I think they've responded real well."
"It's always hard to make that transition from one coach to another definitely" said senior Russell Waters "You always have those differences with another coach and its just so much easier having him out here for a second year."
It looks like the strength will again be on the ground for Screven County. Jeremy Johnson was a 1000 yard rusher and is back. The defense, may be a work in progress with a lot of holes to fill.

It's over, as Page One headlines declared Saturday. But really, it's just beginning.
The capture of 19-year-old Dzhokhar Tsarnaev ended the immediate, known threat from bombs he was thought to be carrying Thursday night and firearms he used in a final, mercifully futile volley of gunfire at police before his capture Friday. But now we need to know whether the Tsarnaev brothers were part of a cell that could unleash additional attacks. Perhaps most important, we need to understand how Dzhokar and his 26-year-old brother Tamerlan, who was killed in a police shootout early Friday, were transformed from college students into purveyors of mayhem.
That understanding could help us prevent similar attacks in the years ahead. It might well have prevented this one if the warning signs had been better understood.
While Dzhokhar was popular and seemed fully assimilated, his brother had all the danger signs of alienation. Most unnerving, the FBI had been alerted to Tamerlan Tsarnaev's possible inclination to violence by Russian authorities before his visit there in 2012. Agents at the time investigated and then interviewed him, ultimately declaring him safe, although it appears his interest in incendiary web sites was clear.
There is a thread of similarity between the Tsarnaev brothers and some other attackers, as the New York Times reported Saturday. Individuals who seemed to be assimilated into America were implicated in the Fort Hood shooting spree and the failed New York subway bombing in 2009, as well as the attempted bombing of Times Square the following year.
The peril of pursuing this thread is that it could lead to insidious profiling. But just as higher awareness and better treatment of the mentally ill could help to prevent some kinds of gun violence, we may find better ways to deal with alienation that, for a small number of immigrants and minorities, may lead to destructive behavior.
Many of our public safety tools are mixed blessings. The ubiquitous presence of cameras is what led to quick identification of the Tsarnaev brothers. To find terrorists, we are glad of this. For a society increasingly sacrificing privacy, this silent observation of all is eerily reminiscent of Orwellian tales that had come to feel quaintly apocalyptic.
We are a society struggling with the balance between using tools to keep us safe and sacrificing the privacy that is one of the things that makes our way of life worth protecting. That's why, while the marathon bombers are no longer a direct threat, we are just beginning to grapple with what happened over the past week and its implications for all of America.

About the Book
"Hot grease, sharp knives, infidelity, and white truffles….The Hunger has all the right ingredients….The best memoir by a chef since Kitchen Confidential."
—Jay McInerney<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
The Hunger is the page-turning memoir from John DeLucie, chef of THE celebrity hot spot restaurant in New York City, The Waverly Inn. With an introduction by Graydon Carter, legendary Editor of Vanity Fair, The Hunger is an unabashed celebration of hard work and the good life that Anthony Bourdain fans will simply eat up—a feast for foodies that author Salman Rushdie calls, "A delightful book….I recommend it to anyone interested in good food—and good stories."
An inspiring, heartwarming memoir from the unlikely chef of The Waverly Inn
The Hunger is an insider's take on the crazy life that is the restaurant business, as well as an underdog's tale of survival. Dissatisfied with his corporate career, John DeLucie followed his passion for food to a single cooking class at the New School (where he was named Most Likely to Succeed). He launched his first food gig at SoHo's famed Dean & DeLuca, then cooked at several New York–area restaurants.
For fifteen years, DeLucie worked his way through major challenges, while accepting both successes and failures, until finally opening his restaurant The Waverly Inn—the Greenwich Village sensation. He now shares secrets about the behind-the-scenes details from the tiny kitchen, the front of the house, and outside the restaurant, where the paparazzi gather. Also included are the stories behind some of DeLucie's signature recipes.
The Hunger is a story about food and desire and appetite—an intimate window onto a chaotic world.

AUGUSTA, Ga. -- Tuesday, he faces the parents, but first he had to tell school board members what went wrong. The director of Richmond County schools transportation answered questions in a meeting Monday evening.
"Transportation has greatly improved and we are still we are still trying to do everything that we can to make it better for all of our children," said Director Jimmie Wiley.
Wiley is the man a lot of parents want answers from and has some explaining to do. Parents want to know why some students are picked up late and dropped off even later.
"The message that we would like to send to parents is that we ask that they be a little patient and we are sorry that we were late and we are doing everything that we can," he said.
Like what? That is what Cynthia Harris wants to know. She said she refuses to put her son on the bus because it always late and he misses instruction time.
"This is a total joke," she said. "I have called down to the transportation office everyday at least four times to get answers."
Harris said she's disappointed that the buses are still late weeks into the school year.
Wiley said the transportation department is struggling with several issues including new bus routes for magnet schools, overcrowding and a shortage of drivers.
"There are cuts to our budget so we are trying to do more with less," Wiley said.
"Everyone knows the transportation department is short-handed and we doing our best to work with them and get people hired and behind these buses," said Jimmy Atkins, a school board member.
But that takes time -- time Atkins and several other board members say was not planned out before the first day of school.
"Its not like the school year just came all of a sudden out of now where," Harris said. "They had the whole summer to prepare."
Board members agree. They believe the transportation department dropped the ball. However, at the end of the day, they are a team working together to make the school year run smoothly.
There will be an open forum meeting Tuesday night at the Board of Education meeting. Parents are asked to submit their questions via email by 2 p.m. Tuesday or at the beginning of the meeting.
Questions can be emailed to email@example.com.

Jezebel has reported extensively on the controversy surrounding Gabourey Sidibe's Elle cover. Here's E!'s take, featuring a recap of other recent airbrushing/photoshop disasters involving Beyonce, Britney Spears, and Kate Winslet.
We can't help but think of other long-accepted-until-publically-shamed practices such as lip-synching and pitch-correction when the spotlight is shined on this photographic trickery. Will Photoshop ever see an industry backlash comparable to Jay-Z's "D.O.A. (Death of Auto-Tune)?"

Six Supplements for Better Health and to Boost Immunity
The omega-3 fatty acids contained in fish oil have many benefits for your overall health and immune system.
Your body can't make omega-3 fatty acids on its own, so you have to get them from food or supplements.
Fish oil helps your immune system by reducing inflammation and improving your blood chemistry. Your cells love this healthy oil and perform better when you have enough omega-3s. Fish oil promotes brain health and heart health, protects against cancer, depression, bowel disorders, and arthritis, and prevents or improves a myriad of skin conditions, such as psoriasis.
You can get this important omega-3 fatty acid into your body by consuming healthy meat, seafood, eggs, or fish oil supplements. The higher-quality food you buy — including grass-fed meat, wild-caught cold-water seafood, and organic eggs — the more omega-3 fatty acid it contains.
If you eat a lot of non-organic sources of meat, fish, and eggs, you should supplement with a high-quality fish oil as an insurance because you're probably not getting enough omega-3 fatty acids in your diet.

Meg Dilger will continue in her role as president of the Pocono Mountain School Board after a unanimous board vote Wednesday night.
Dilger's first year as president this year was a tumultuous one, highlighted by a difficult budget process that laid off hundreds of district employees.
However, she earned praise from other board members for how she handled each problem.
"Meg and (Superintendent Elizabeth Robison) got more done in one year than I've seen in the last 20," board member Ricky Smith said.
Board member Dorothy Sirolly renewed a point brought up a year ago during the board reorganization: that the board president should rotate between the district's three voting regions.
The district is divided into three geographic regions by municipalities. Barrett, Paradise and Pocono townships make up Region 1 – Dilger is a Barrett Township resident – Jackson, Tobyhanna and Tunkhannock are Region 2 and Region 3 is Coolbaugh Township and Mount Pocono Borough.
Sirolly said she'd like the board to think about rotating the board president between regions every two to three years, "or some other nominal number," so that each region is represented.

News 12 First at Five / Wednesday, March 20, 2013
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- March 20th is National Kick Butts Day. Almost 1,300 events were planned across the country to motivate people to quit smoking and using tobacco products. One of those events was right here in Augusta.
"Tobacco is one of the leading causes of deaths in the United States," said a speaker at Wednesday's event.
With National Kick Butts Day in full swing, GRU decided it was the perfect time to announce its new policy for tobacco on campus.
"A whole campus that is free of tobacco use. Which means there will be no areas within the university or within the campus where people can smoke in," said Dr. Samir Khleif, director of the Cancer Center at GRU.
And don't think if you chew tobacco you're off the hook.
"Tobacco is harmful. Smokeless or with smoke. It's a very harmful substance. Smokeless tobacco can cause cancers of the head and neck," Khleif said.
Freshman Taylor Awalt says she can't argue with the dangers of tobacco use but does wish the policy change would have been handled differently.
Awalt says students were left out of the process.
"They didn't really ask us how we felt. They just said there's going to be absolutely no smoking and you're going to have to deal with it," Awalt said.
The freshman says what make the decision worse is that suggestions by the students were turned down.
"We even signed a petition asking to not have it banned and that didn't go through either," Awalt said.
Khleif says the new policy will help promote a healthier lifestyle for students and if everyone is not ready to take that step toward health now, the cancer center will provide help when they are ready.
"We hope that people can stop now, rather than 10 years from now," Khleif said.
Khleif added that this isn't about taking liberties away from smokers, it's about protecting the health of non-smokers on campus. The policy will take effect Aug. 1.
Initially, people will get a friendly reminder, but the compliance committee is working out what penalty folks will be hit with if caught with tobacco after the grace period.

I actually wrote a book about my combat marine experience during Operation Iraqi Freedom. It starts off with me surfing in Deal, NJ on September 11th. After realizing the smoke pouring down the coastline was from the terrorist attacks, I decided to go fight for our freedom. Its called The Song Each Bullet Sings and is available on Amazon. If you want to know why today's veterans and military are having such a tough time with PTSD and suicide, my story takes you with me into the war in Iraq. If you get it and enjoy it, please spread the word. Thanks

#1 - thanks for your service.
#2 - thanks for writing.
#3 - Just ordered the book.
Sick! Thanks brother. I appreciate your kind words and support.
I will definitely check this out as well. Thanks bro.
Anyone for some science fiction? You should check out the "Spin" trilogy my Robert Charles Wilson, or anything by Arthur C. Clarke. The "Rama" series in particular.
Ghost Wave-About Cortes Bank
Surfings Greatest Misadventures-Great collection; includes halarious story of two guys trying to tow in with a boston whaler in Mexico
don't know if it has been said yet but The Wave, by Susan Casey is a very good book not only about big wave surfing but the big waves themselves.
In Search Of Captain Zero... Cosmic Banditos... Can't You Get Along With Anyone? are all great books by A.C. Wiesbecker.
I also really like Into The Wild, On The Road and Catcher In The Rye...
All very similar books. Social deviants/misfits. Looking for their place in life, judging others (sometimes harshly), all in 1st person narrative form. Having some sort of "adventure" in them.

After two years of no increase, Marietta's water and sewer rates are going up in 2013, according to information released during a city council water, sewer and sanitation committee meeting Wednesday.
The sewer rate increase will add an extra $2.84 to the typical bi-monthly bill for a customer using 500 cubic feet of water per month.
Those same typical customers who live within the city limits will also pay an additional $2 per billing period for water service on their bi-monthly bill, while water customers living outside the city will pay an additional $3 every two months.
Sewer rates require council approval, while the water rates are set by the city administration.
"By law the city must cover its costs with water and sewer rates, but the budget for those costs must be built with the intention of breaking even," Bill Dauber, Marietta's assistant safety-service director, told the committee members Wednesday.
He said city expenses covered by water and sewer rates include administrative costs for the billing department, operational costs from the wastewater treatment plant and costs to reduce the debt service on water and sewer related projects.
Fact Box
If you go
- Marietta City Council meets in regular session at 7:30 p.m. today in the community building at Lookout Park.
- All council and committee meetings, except executive sessions, are open to the public.
- More information about the city is available at http://www.mariettaoh.net/
Some of those projects will include the ongoing wastewater treatment plant upgrade, water and sewer lines replacement and new backup electrical generators for the water plant.
"By volume, based on a unit of 100 cubic feet of water, the sewer rate will be $3.82 per unit in 2013, or 40 cents more than the typical customer paid in 2012," Dauber said, adding that the annual sewer rate would be $199.20 for a customer using 500 cubic feet a month, compared to $182.16 that same customer paid in 2012.
"And we did not raise sewer or water rates last year," he said.
Councilman Tom Vukovic, D-4th Ward, said the city has to cover its water and sewer costs.
"But this is the first significant sewer rate increase since 2009," he said, noting the typical rate rose from $2.96 per 100 cubic feet in 2009 to $3.34 per 100 cubic feet in 2010.
"And the last time council increased the sewer rate was in 2011," added Councilman Mike McCauley, D-2nd Ward, who chairs the water, sewer and sanitation committee.
That rate stayed nearly level, at $3.43 per 100 cubic feet in 2011 and $3.42 per cubic feet in 2012 for the typical customer.
The city's water customers are billed at two different rates, one for in-city customers, and another for those who live outside the city limits, Dauber explained.
Again, based on a typical customer using 500 cubic feet of water per month, the annual water bill for in-city customers will increase from $115.80 in 2012 to $127.80 during 2013, according to figures Dauber presented to the committee members Wednesday.
"Outside customers pay about 1.5 times the rate that customers who live inside the city limits pay," he said. "The average typical 500 cubic feet user will pay about $12 more on his annual bill, while the same customer living outside the city limits will pay an additional $18 a year.
City safety-service director Jonathan Hupp said the proposed water rates have been accepted by the city administration.
McCauley said legislation approving the sewer rate increase is expected to be introduced during today's city council meeting at 7:30 p.m. in the community building at Lookout Park.
The rates would go into effect in January.

I had one of those mornings today. I actually have been having a few of those mornings. Yesterday i didn't set my iPad alarm properly .
Today i left the headphones in so i didn't hear it go off. I have been waking up late and very annoyed. My house is chilly in the early morning, and that first step onto the cold wood floors usually causes my to say words that i shouldn't.
The sun has been unusually low in the sky, making the mornings a bit gloomy. Winter is coming. I hope when the clocks change it will help. I still don't understand the whole clock changing concept, because Arizona is one of the few places that doesn't change their clocks.
Anyways back to my morning. Since i woke up late, and the sun was not out in full force, and because it was cold, i was in a foul mood. I tripped over Dovie and snapped at him. Rozie threw her cup across the room and i snapped at her. I couldn't find needed coats and or sweaters, and i quickly gave up on the hat search. I could feel the tears burning my eyes as i guzzled my coffee hoping for some relief.
How is this summer girl going to make it through another winter? I need to smell chlorine and sunscreen like i need to breathe air. I need warm sun beating on me at least 10 hours a day. So i took the advice of a friend and i have complied a list of why i
1. The weather is not bitter cold,and that is somewhat better.
2. The changing leaf colors are actually quite amazing.
3. My little ones bundled up in their cozy sweaters is pretty sweet on the eyes.
4. Hot chocolate is not terrible, even though ill take a nice frosty coffee slush any day over it, but it still is yummy.
4. Our new outdoor fireplace. I bought this on a whim and it was worth the major clearance price i paid for it. Roasting marshmallows on the deck and warming my toes on a fire is pretty darn awesome.
5. The colors that fill the outdoors, green fields turning yellow, bright green leaves turning bold red, my eye can not resist that candy.
6. There is something to be said for that therapeutic feel of crackling leaves under your feet. I do enjoy squishing piles of them. Now who is cleaning these leaves up. Not me, tag your it.
7. The fact that this fall i will be going to Florida to enjoy their 80 degree fall to speak at the N'shei Chabad of North Miamai Beach. Check out the event here on Facebook and if you are in the area please come by and say hi, i would love to meet you.
Lastly, any time i get to spend with my sweet family in the cold, the heat, the rain, and even in the snow, is ten times better then the weather in the hospital. This time last year i was very ill and my body was giving out on me. I am so thankful to be able to get up every morning freeze my toes on our floors, and take care of what i need to do for the day. Last fall the colors of the season swam by me in a haze of sickness. I will not let that happen this year. Happy fall my dear friends and family, summer is right around the corner.

Rap duo/trio Das Racist was detained at the UK's Gatwick airport yesterday and eventually deported to Switzerland. The exact reasons for the deportation are unclear, but the group says on their website it had to do with their "political views."
The Das Racist guys say that the "political views" remark was a joke, and that their deportation had to do with nothing more sexy than visa issues and paperwork.

Video game industry: A social menace or addictive learning tool?
When most people imagine a serious "gamer", it's hard not to think of overweight teenagers with bags under their eyes from staring at a screen all night. This stereotype seems exaggerated, but how much truth is there to it?

Found a version 1.4.8 of QCAD user manual and noticed a completely different Text Window from ver. 2.2.2. This version allows for text spacing and rounded text.
I have a need for this feature. I was able to do it but with much manipulation and hit or miss placements-very time consuming.
Question-Is it possible to load this old Text window for MAC OSX? Or get copy of ver. 1.4.8 download for OSX Tiger or Leopard?

Geithner Still Not Interested in Fed Chair Slot
WASHINGTON – Former Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, one of President Barack Obama's closest economic advisers, remains firm that he won't be among the candidates to succeed Ben Bernanke as Federal Reserve Chairman, a person close to him said Sunday night.
Mr. Geithner has long signaled that he did not want the post, but the sudden decision by Lawrence Summers to withdraw from consideration Sunday led to speculation that Mr. Geithner could be drawn into the process.
More In Bernanke Successor
But Mr. Geithner, having left Treasury earlier this year after spending the bulk of his career in different government roles, is steadfast that he will not be the next Fed chairman, the person said.
Mr. Obama had worked closely with both Messrs. Summers and Geithner. Now, he'll likely have to make his pick from outside his circle of economic policy advisers. Other potential candidates – including Fed Vice Chairwoman Janet Yellen and her predecessor Donald Kohn- don't have anywhere near same the history with the White House.
Mr. Bernanke's term expires Jan. 31, 2014.

Lettuce, spinach and other salad greens are an important part of a healthful diet.
Salad greens are year-round sources of vitamin A, vitamin C, and other nutrients.
Red and dark green leafy vegetables are generally higher in nutrients than light-colored greens.
Want to learn how to dress these lovely green? Click here and learn how to make your own salad dressings.
Side Note about fats: Fruit and vegetables are good sources of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, phytochemicals and fiber. Many of these nutrients (e.g. beta carotene, vitamin D, and vitamin E) are fat soluble and their absorption is enhanced when consumed with a small amount of healthy fats.
Add a small amount of healthy oil (e.g. extra virgin olive oil or flaxseed oil) to the salad dressing or whilst cooking, or include other healthy fat sources such as avocado, coconut, nuts or seeds.

A new drug-rehabilitation facility is set to open next month, despite an objection from at least one neighboring resident.
SelfRefind will open Aug. 7 at 1338 Colegate Drive with 100 openings for patients. Those 100 initial patients will be cared for by Dr. Richard Henthorn, said Keith Tiemeyer, public relations director for SelfRefind, of Danville, Ky.
Chad Walters, owner of Get It Performance ATV and Motorcycle, 1340 Colegate Drive, said he's concerned about the proximity of the clinic to his business.
Article Photos
PHIL FOREMAN The Marietta Times
The building at 1338 Colegate Drive will be home to SelfRefindas as of Aug. 7. It will serve as a an outpatient clinic for drug addiction.
He has had some thefts since October and fears that will happen again once the clinic opens. He said an air conditioner was taken two weeks ago, and during an October break-in, he lost two motorcycles and other items. The motorcycles were returned, however.
"I put a bunch of money to keep them from breaking into the building and stealing stuff from the inside," Walters said. "How do you keep people from stealing stuff on the outside?"
He said he has called the city administration with his concerns.
'That's what I need is a bunch of druggies laying next door to me," Walters said. "It's going to be nothing but trouble."
The treatment offered at the clinic is based on Suboxone, which helps patients with opiate addictions reduce how dependent they are on drugs. Suboxone reduces withdrawal symptoms a patient might have with normal withdrawal from opiates.
Other residents in the area say they'll support the new business.
"(The patients) have to get help somewhere," said David Haught, owner of DLH Design, 1406 1/2 Colegate Drive. "I don't see it as problematic to business or the safety of my clients or staff."
The outpatient clinic "allows people to lead regular lives and keep their jobs without totally upsetting their lives," Tiemeyer said.
The company already has 15 locations, and the Marietta clinic will be the third for Ohio. Clinics already have opened in Chillicothe and Portsmouth.
SelfRefind Government Liason Michele McCarthy said it is not uncommon for nearby business owners to be uneasy about drug treatment programs because they don't know what to expect or they have had a negative experience with others.
"People who come here are getting treatment and are getting their lives back together," McCarthy said. "They are more likely to stop committing crimes and work on taking care of their families."
McCarthy said the facility personnel use drug testing, counting their prescriptions and other methods to keep the recovery going.
"We have a drug problem in our area," said Marietta City Councilman Steve Thomas, D-3rd Ward. "We lost our grant for a drug court. ... We need help dealing with drug addictions in our area."
The program also offers couples' addiction counseling, counseling and drug testing.
Patient fees fund the private company. Insurance or Medicaid might cover the fees of $350 per month if made in one payment or two $200 payments per month, if split. Between 10 percent and 20 percent of patients self pay, Tiemeyer said.
"I'm not worried about it being too close," said Carla Ruble, branch manager of Pioneer Home Medical, 1400 Colegate Drive. She said she didn't want to approach the issue judgmentally.
The owner of the building, Garold Greenlees, could not be reached for comment.
"It probably sounds like a good thing," said Larry Bradfield, of 109 Colegate Woods Drive. "I don't know who it's funded by or who has to pay, but if it helps drug addicts, it's probably pretty good."

ALAMEDA — Raiders quarterback Terrelle Pryor seems intent upon a quick return from the concussion he suffered, based on a series of Tweets he fired off Tuesday morning.
"I'm ready to go," Pryor said via Twitter. He also said, "I feel great, by the way. Thanks for the concern. Go Raiders!"
Maybe so, but Pryor isn't allowed to practice or play in a game again until he passes the league-mandated protocol for players that suffered a concussion, as Pryor did Monday night late in a 37-21 loss to the Denver Broncos.
Raiders coach Dennis Allen said Monday night that he had "no idea" about the status of Pryor for the Raiders game against the Washington Redskins this Sunday.
At first, Pryor sounded like a man that had a ways to go before he gets cleared by team doctors.
His first Tweet on Tuesday said: "Sorry about the loss Raider Nation. I don't remember much! Good hit by whoever it was. I heard our team fought well. We will be back."
There is no media access to players today because they received the day off from Allen.
Allen is scheduled to meet with the media for his weekly news conference at 1 p.m.
The Raiders practice Wednesday. If Pryor hasn't been cleared by that time, Matt Flynn is expected to get the reps with the first-team offense. He relieved Pryor against the Broncos and made his Raiders regular-season debut.

AIKEN, S.C. - The University of South Carolina Aiken women's basketball team won its first Peach Belt Conference matchup of the season, 65-51, over the UNC Pembroke Braves Saturday evening at the Convocation Center.
Kayla Harris scored a game-high 24 points and added nine rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal. The preseason All-American and reigning PBC Player of the Week scored her first basket a little more than four minutes into the game to become the ninth Pacer in the Division II era of school history to score 1,000 points in a career. Harris (Raleigh, N.C./Wakefield HS) went 11-for-15 from the field and 3-for-4 from the charity stripe in the game.
The Pacers (7-0, 1-0 PBC) remain undefeated on the season and push their regular-season home winning streak to 23 games.
USC Aiken shot 39.7 percent (25-63) from the field in the game, while holding the Braves (5-3, 0-1 PBC) to 39.5 percent (17-43) shooting.
Daniela Tarailo was the only other Pacer in double figures, scoring 11 points. Tarailo (Crown Point, Ind./Crown Point HS) added four assists and two steals.
Brittany Hill chipped in with nine points and 11 assists. Hill (Mechanicsville, Va./Quinnipiac) also had four steals and only one turnover in the game. The 11 assists were just one shy of tying the USC Aiken single-game record in the category.
USC Aiken out-rebounded the Braves 37 to 33, and the Pacers corralled 12 offensive boards.
The Pacers will next be in action on Monday, Dec. 17, in Florence, S.C., as they face off against Francis Marion. They will next be in action at home on Wednesday, Dec. 19, as they host Anderson (S.C.) with the tip-off at 5:30 p.m.
