With the goal of bringing water to 30,000 people in Kenya, a former Chicago area pastor aims to run the equivalent of 3,243 miles in 21 consecutive weeks.
A former Chicago area pastor plans to run across the United States at a rate of 35 miles a day for more than four months in a bid to raise $1.5 million for clean water.
Steve Spear, 49, began the herculean effort in Los Angeles on April 8 with an estimated arrival in New York in August — a distance of 3,243 miles.
He plans to run six or seven hours each day, five days a week. During the course of the event, he aims to run the equivalent distance of more than 120 marathons. Along the way, he will speak to churches and civic organizations, encouraging people to support the cause for water.
Meanwhile, Steve has quit his job as a Willow Creek Community Church pastor to devote himself to preparing for and completing the big run.
Steve says the decision to embark on the run follows a growing conviction that God was calling him to run to change lives. It's a surprising turn of events, given that he had a strong aversion to running for many years.
"If you had told me five years ago, when I was a complete non-runner, that I would be doing something like this, I would have said you are completely out of your mind," he says.
Things changed in 2007 when Steve was asked to join Team World Vision and run the Chicago Marathon to raise money to help millions of children and families who have no ready access to clean water.
He said he would much rather write a check; but after months of gentle arm-twisting, he was persuaded to subject himself to the inconvenience of lengthy training to participate in the race. He managed to complete the marathon and raise $1,000.
From that point on, there was no looking back.
For the 2008 Chicago Marathon, Steve organized a team from Willow Creek to participate, and in 2010 he ran the 56-mile Comrades Marathon in South Africa, also to raise money for clean water projects.
Last year, the importance of the cause was reinforced when Steve visited his sponsored child, 7-year-old Winnie, who lives in Kenya's Rift Valley. Winnie must walk four miles a day to lug home a five-gallon container of water collected from a contaminated river.
Steve notes about a billion people in the world lack access to clean water, but the figure had always paralyzed him. How could he realistically help a billion people?
But he came to believe that he could realistically help about 30,000 — roughly the populations of the various towns and suburbs he has lived in during the course of his life.
The cost of supplying 30,000 people with clean water as part of a World Vision water supply project in Kenya is about $1.5 million — hence the fundraising goal for Steve's run.
Winnie's community will be among those to benefit from the project.
Training for the big run went well, says Steve. He has successfully run five marathons in six days but concedes that one good week is a far cry from stringing together an even more demanding effort for 21 consecutive weeks.
But he says the project is all in "God's hands," and part of his preparation includes memorizing Hebrews 11 — a list of famous characters of the Bible who exhibited great faith.
Steve is also being assisted by an elite running coach, an orthopedic surgeon, a physical therapist, and a massage therapist who have all volunteered their time and expertise.
Please pray for Steve as he undertakes this extreme physical challenge in order to help bring clean water to 30,000 people.
Follow Steve's progress and support his effort with Team World Vision.

'The Good Wife' Season 5, Episode 10 'The Decision Tree': TV Recap
Who is this new sneaky lawyer at L/G? Kalinda is on Damian's case on tonight's "The Good Wife." Damian is paying a visit to Florrick/Agos. Will is working on the new New York office. When is that going to happen?
Wow, Damian is kind of a jerk. He's brought Alicia her exit deal from Lockhart/Gardner. And L/G decided to give their holiday party on the same night as Florrick/Agos. They are fighting over attendees and F/A wants to invite the governor. Eli doesn't want the governor to go.
There's something fishy going on with one of Alicia's former former (now deceased) clients, Matthew Ashbaugh. He apparently left $12 million to Alicia in his will.
Clarke Hayde, aka Nathan Lane, is part of Florrick/Agos, as a lawyer again. He's defending Alicia so she can get her part of the will, which L/G is contesting. Ashbaugh's wife says her husband was going insane. Will says he thinks Alicia has seduced Ashbaugh.
Damian isn't so thrilled that Kalinda is following him. He has the police pull her over.
Oh Stockard Channing is back at Alicia's mother. We love her.
Apparently she didn't know about the party and is sad, so of course Alicia invites her.
During the whole episode, there are flashbacks to when Will and Alicia were together and Alicia was telling Will it was the happiest she'd ever been.
This whole thing is really about Will thinking Alicia made him think she loved him so she could steal his clients. We know that wasn't true, that Alicia really loved Will. How can he not see that?
Kalinda and the cop end up in bed. They're flirting over guns.
In court, Alicia says she used Ashbaugh's love for her to change the will. But not the second will. She says David Lee asked her to help get the first will signed. Then they find four other wills leaving money to a bunch of other women. No money for Alicia.
Eli tricks Peter into skipping the party. But it backfires and Peter goes and brings Donna Brazile, a big political strategist.
Peter gets cornered by Lamont Bishop, a client and drug dealer. And then the ethics lawyer announces that she will name her son Peter.
Happy Holidays!
Next week: No Good Wife. So do you think Will will get over Alicia?
Will they get back together?

ANTIOCH -- Marcus Lee expressed relief after making his commitment to play basketball at the University of Kentucky official on Wednesday morning.
The 6-foot-9 power forward from Deer Valley High signed his letter of intent on the first day of the early signing period. He's set to join the defending national champions next season.
"It's a great feeling being official," Lee said. "It's just really great and relieving."
Lee, ranked the No. 30 overall prospect in the nation by ESPN, announced his oral commitment to Kentucky on Oct. 17, choosing the Wildcats over Cal. Now, all his extra hours in the gym and classroom have officially paid off.
"It's just one big relief knowing that if you do put in the work, it actually helps," Lee said.
Lee credited his mom, Sheri Lee, and brother Bryan, for helping guide him to make this day possible.
"Without them, I'd be lost," Lee said.
He knows expectations will be high for him this season as part of a star-studded Kentucky that ESPN has ranked No. 1 in the nation and includes four players ranked in the top 30 in the country. But outside expectations are rarely higher than his own.
"I always try to raise my expectations just to beat them," Lee said.
Lee said he's excited to join the storied program that features a rapid fan base known as Big Blue Nation and that he loves interacting with those fans through social media.
"I love it so much," Lee said. "I enjoy talking to them, hearing from them. I go through Twitter and enjoy what they're saying."
Lee wants to work on playing more aggressively this season.
"I'm more laid back and go with the flow," Lee said.
Deer Valley's season opens with a North Coast Section foundation game, which does not count towards team records, on Tuesday against Salesian. The Pride, the defending California Interscholastic Federation Division IV state champions, are led by Cal-bound Jabari Bird, ESPN's No. 23 ranked player in the nation.
Deer Valley won its first Bay Valley Athletic League title and reached the NCS Division I championship game last season. The Wolverines have their eyes on bigger prizes this season.
"The NCS title is just a little thing for us," Lee said. "We're trying to do much bigger things this year."

Local aviation club to host annual aircraft show
Published: Monday, October 8, 2012 at 10:43 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, October 8, 2012 at 10:43 a.m.
A family-friendly car show for aircraft is coming to Houma later this month.
On Oct. 20, the Bill Fornof Memorial Chapter 513 of the local Experimental Aircraft Association will host its annual Cajun Fly In from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Houma-Terrebonne Airport.
The aircraft at the show will be in an open-house setting, meaning people will be able to enter the planes and helicopters, sit inside and talk to pilots.
"Please bring children, and make sure you bring your cameras," Chapter President Tim Rochel said.
According to the group's website, the Experimental Aircraft Association "offers the fun and camaraderie of sharing your passion for participating in the flying, building, and restoring of recreational aircraft with the most passionate community of aviation enthusiasts."
The Houma chapter formed in the mid-'70s, participating in airshows that included the Blue Angels, Bill and Corkey Fornof, and other famous airshow groups.
"We've done this since 1974. It started with an airshow," Rochel said. "It's different now without it, but it's definitely still fun for everyone."
Rochel said members of the association from all over the U.S. can attend the Fly In to show off their home-built or factory-made privately owned aircraft. At the 2011 Fly In, members flew in from as far as Texas and Oklahoma.
Another big part of the event, chapter newsletter editor Newton Boudreaux said, is when chapter members and pilots take adults and kids on their first flights. The flights, as well as parking and admission to the event are free.
"All people have to buy is food," Rochel said.
Those attending may get to see Darryl Christen's L-39 "Miss Mona" Reno National Air Jet Racer 99, a former Soviet Union's jet trainer. They will also meet some of Terrebonne's first responders and get to inspect their vehicles. The Terrebonne Parish Sheriff's Office, Houma Police Department and Houma Fire Department will also be on the field with police equipment and a fire truck.
The Regional Military Museum will be showing several of its World War II-era uniforms, vehicles and weapons.
Helicopters from most of the local operators flying out of Houma-Terrebonne Airport will also be on display, including Air Logistics, Petroleum Helicopters, Acadian Ambulance AirMed and ERA.
Airborne Support will be displaying one of its aircrafts, DC-3 or DC-3 Turbine. These Red White and Blue Douglas aircraft are the planes used to help clean up oil spills in the Gulf of Mexico.
The Louisiana Universities Marine Consortum will return this year to present a display of its work in the Gulf. The interactive exhibit will teach about the environment and sea life in the Gulf.
Food and drinks will be available, including hot dogs, hamburgers and sodas. Sno-on-Wheels will provide snowballs and chef Norbert Punch will cook his specialty chicken and sausage jambalaya.
"It'll be a really fun day," Rochel said.
For information, call 872-6732.

TRUCKEE, Calif. - It's only been open half a year, but Bespoke already is making a name for itself as an artistic haven in downtown Truckee
"I had been dreaming up this store for years," said Heather River, founder and owner of Bespoke.
River, along with her husband, Brian Hess, recently opened the store, which offers various artisan made goods, all locally or US made, in the form of clothes, books, greeting cards, jewelry and more - all hand-made.
"(We have) a tiny bit of everything," River explained. "I'm always looking for new stuff."
River explained that her vision for the store revolves around quality and artistic recognition. Hess added that with most products, the buyer has no idea who makes it or the work that went into that creation.
"We want to educate people about the process of art," Hess said. "When you learn about the process, you connect to the art more."
River, originally from Sonoma County opened her first store when she was 16. Bespoke is the third store in Truckee that she's opened. After nine years, she explained, she has worked her way into one of the coveted downtown stores, in the heart of pedestrian local and tourist traffic, and was able to open her dream store.
"It's been great," River said of opening the store downtown. "We're really happy with where we are."
Together with Hess, they are working to educate customers to gain an appreciation for art. To achieve this, the store hosts various workshops in the back room of the storefront, on various crafts. From leatherwork to mask-making, the workshops show you how to make some of the items in the store, as well as fun gifts or decorations for the home.
"We want (customers) to appreciate the work artists do," River explained.
River and Hess both explained that they want their customers to feel empowered about art. Many of the workshops, including silkscreening and card making, show the customers how to make the items in the store themselves.
"It's about giving back, in a way," Hess said. "It's giving people the power to do the art on their own."
The couple explained that a customer came in for a stamp-making class once, then went on to make their own stamps, gradually expanding to cards, and now owns a small card line.
"That feels good, to give back to the community," Hess said.
The store also has a strong online presence, offering some items for sale on Facebook (with a complete online store to come), as well as featuring a blog on their website, with videos and pictures of DIY projects, including how the store was designed. Describing it as a "21st century" store, Hess added that it's just another way Bespoke is trying to connect with their customers.
While the store is just several months old, River and Hess are already looking forward to what's next, including more workshops and open house nights.
Whether it be a gift or a greeting card to say hello to a friend, Bespoke will have whatever you're looking for.

Report: Apple Festival generated $12.5 million
Published: Tuesday, October 29, 2013 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, October 28, 2013 at 12:13 p.m.
This year's N.C. Apple Festival brought $12.5 million dollars to Henderson County, according to a festival research study conducted by Looking Glass Strategic Research of Asheville. Of that total amount, more than $2 million was direct spending by Henderson County residents.
The detailed study examined spending across six categories: lodging, dining, retail, transportation, entertainment, and other. It was also determined that less than 40 percent of the total spending occurred on the festival grounds. The remainder was spent at a variety of businesses throughout the county. The festival also contributed 4,591 lodging room nights to the Henderson County economy.
"We were very pleased with the overall results of the survey," festival Executive Director David Nicholson stated in a release.
Organizers estimated attendance at 250,000 over the four-day festival. Almost 74 percent were non-residents, 47 percent of whom attended the festival for the first time. More than 37,000 attendees were from Henderson County and attended over two days.
More than 75 percent of non-resident attendees said they are more likely to visit Henderson County at another time due to the festival.
Overall satisfaction with the festival on a scale of 1-5 was as follows:
Apple offerings 4.65
Entertainment 4.07
Food/beverage 4.39
Arts and crafts 4.34
Children activities 4.33
Overall 4.53
Of resident attendees, the following strongly agreed or agreed with the following:
The festival has an economic benefit to the community 98.2%
It's an opportunity for time with family/friends 89.3%
It creates positive recognition for community 99.2%
The festival improves quality of life 87.5%
The festival disrupts normal routine 25.0%
In terms of out-of-county attendees, 27.8 percent were from Western North Carolina, 28.8 percent were from Upstate South Carolina and nearly 14 percent were from the Charlotte area.
Looking forward to next year's festival, more than 85 percent of residents said they plan to attend, along with 70 percent of non-resident attendees.

Contest-Winning Pineapple Ham Loaf RecipeRead Reviews Be the first to add a review
4 3 4
My cousin served this tender ham loaf at a family get-together, and I eagerly asked for the recipe. Since then, I've often taken it to church functions and served it when friends come to dinner. It's always well received.
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 3/4 cup dry bread crumbs
- 1-1/2 teaspoons ground mustard, divided
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1 pound fully cooked ham, ground (4 cups)
- 1 pound ground pork
- 1 can (20 ounces) sliced pineapple
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- In a bowl, combine eggs, milk, Worcestershire sauce, bread crumbs, 1 teaspoon mustard, salt and pepper. Add ham and pork; mix well. Shape into eight oval patties; set aside.
- Drain pineapple, reserving 1/2 cup juice. Place a pineapple slice between each ham patty. (Refrigerate remaining pineapple and juice for another use.) Carefully place in an ungreased 9-in. x 5-in. loaf pan. Pat patties around pineapple to form a loaf.
- Combine brown sugar, remaining mustard and reserved juice; pour a small amount over loaf. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 1-1/4 hours or until lightly browned and a thermometer reads 160°, basting occasionally with remaining juice mixture. Yield: 8 servings.

Holocaust Denial on Trial, Outline submissions on behalf of the First Defendant: Electronic Edition, by Richard RamptonTable of Contents
|Is the "new" evidence app... >
(1) Could the fresh evidence have been adduced at trial?
7. A short chronology showing some of the contact between Irving and Rudolf is attached to these submissions.
8. So far as Rudolfs evidence is concerned, the position appears to be this:
- 8.1 Paragraph 6 of the skeleton argument (dated 1st March 2001) served on behalf of Irving in support of his application to adduce this evidence makes it clear that Rudolf's witness statement is founded upon an earlier analysis by him of "the improbability or outright impossibility of the established historiography of Auschwitz". Irving knew of that analysis and had a copy of it (he posted a complete copy of the 1993 Rudolf Gutachten on his website in July 1999, but the evidence is that Irving was aware of it considerably earlier). There is nothing of any significance in Rudolf's current witness statement which is new; virtually all of it is based on material which was available before trial (see the witness statements of James Libson, Mark Bateman and the attached chronology).
- 8.2 Irving could have applied to put in an expert report from Rudolf at trial, but he did not do so. He did put in evidence (without objection from the Defendants) what purported to be a short account of the Rudolf Report, written by someone other than Rudolf. There is no explanation of his failure to apply to submit in evidence the full report itself (or any subsequent witness statement).
- 8.3 At pages 333 (line 12) to 334 (line 7) of his witness statement, Rudolf makes it clear that he would have appeared under subpoena as an expert witness for Irving, had Irving asked him to do so. He was not asked to appear as a witness, although he was asked to assist as an adviser. He supplied Irving with comments, which Irving used to cross-examine Professor van Pelt (again, the material supplied appears to form part of his current witness statement).
9. Thus the decision not to call Rudolf as a witness and/or to seek to put in a written statement from him and/or the original Rudolf Report was entirely Irving's own decision. it is therefore clear that the whole of Rudolf s evidence could have been before the court (and that some of it was before the court). It follows that there is no reason why it should now be admitted. On the contrary, there is good reason why it should not be (see the observations of Hale LJ)

In Their Own Words – Counting to 100
This "In Their Own Words" is written by Cheairs Frank Graves, a Charlottesville, Va. mother of two. Her son has autism.
"Counted to 100 by himself in front of the entire class during circle time!" That is what his school note said. I looked at the note in disbelief―my little Margaret-Ann jumping up and down next to me- voice getting louder and louder that she needs a snack. I read the note again. I swell with pride and disbelief. "Mommy, mommy, I am hungry." Snapped back to the present I take my daughter's hand and we head to the kitchen to get something to eat. I get my daughter her favorite snack― goldfish with apple juice and I smile.
If someone had ever told when my son was first diagnosed with autism at the age of two that he would one day stand in front of his kindergarten classroom and count to 100― I would have thought they were crazy. My two year old could not make the first utterance of any words, could not play with any toy appropriately, and would not respond to his name when I called to him. What on earth would make me think that he would one day be able to count to that magical number of 100?
Well, let me tell you my son has been working! And when I am feeling hopeless about the progress he is making -he shows me the fight and determination that he has in him to move forward. I think a little part of him is grinning inside just saying, "Mommy just you wait-when I am ready I am going to show what I can do." I think he is saying, "Mommy you need to be patient-you need to wait. I can do so many things it just takes me longer, but just when you least expect it I am going to show you my stuff." Well, show me his stuff is exactly what he did on that sunny Monday at school.
I can just see him as his teacher asks him if he wants to count today. I can see him bright eyed say, "Yes, Catherine!" and jump to the front of the circle and begin to count…..1,2,3,4,5 I can see the determination in his face as he pauses and thinks of the next number. I can see his classmates looking wide eyed in pure amazement as he counts higher and higher. I can see his teachers holding their breath and feel their hearts pounding with unsure excitement not knowing how high he will count. I can see everyone's anticipation―getting ready to clap because he has made it to 50. Then I can feel the whirl of energy as he continues 51, 52, 53, 54. I can see his fellow kindergartners giving him the thumbs up as he reaches 71, 72, 73, 74, 75. Then I can feel the confidence in his words the determination that my little guy is going to count all the way to 100. I can hear his little monotone voice grow strong with every number 91, 92, 93,94, 95, 96, 97―pure concentration 98,99―He is going to do it!!! With a huge smile and a look of unimaginable pride 100!!!! I can feel the claps and cheers for my son in my bones. I can feel the love that surrounds him from his teachers and classmates in my heart. I can see the huge smile of pride on his face!
Now I was not there on this most special Monday morning at Hollymead Elementary School, but as my friend Catherine who is one of the teacher's in the class recounts the event to me on the phone that night I can see it all―the amazing triumphant of it all! I get off the phone and as I sit in bed with my husband and tell him the whole story. He does not have to say anything. The tears that fill his eyes say it all.
And now my son sound asleep upstairs. I can hear the words coming from his sweet head-"Mommy you need to be patient you need to wait. Just give me a little time" I put my head on my pillow and I close my eyes. "Ok, Dawson I hear you. I am trying. Patients and waiting―I got it. I am working on it I am working hard just like you……oh, how I love you my sweet boy―my sweet counting to 100 little boy!"

I know how you must be feeling–my grandson, who is 3, barely talks and as we were walking down the steps the other day counted to 10 with each step he took!! By the time we were at the last step I was crying. I am so proud of my little man!!!
October 20, 2010 at 10:06 am
Thanks for sharing this story. I know the feeling of needing to be patient and waiting on your children to show progress. I am so happy for your son and just wait he will surprise you somemore and I know you already that.
October 20, 2010 at 10:14 am
That's so great. Thanks so much for sharing that. I used to keep a daily journal when my oldest was little – mostly to convince myself that we were making some progress, because things moved so slowly that I often couldn't see it. On really difficult days, I'd sometimes go back and read to remind myself of how far we'd come. My son was taking anxiety medication at 4 years old because after trying everything else, a very conservative therapist thought it was warranted just to give him enough help to get started in being able to be with other kids in a classroom. Now my son is almost 15 and medication-free, participates regularly in classroom discussions, and willingly attends after school clubs and activities four days a week. There are still rough days and plenty of challenges along the way, but you remind me of where we were and how far we've come. Thank you for that. I'm truly happy for you ad your special child.
October 20, 2010 at 3:14 pm
Yeah Dawson!! And thank you Dawson's Mom for sharing, because I know we all go through those same moments of fear, doubt and wondering what our child's future will be. They will show us, and do it. Just learning it a bit differently, their way, in their own time.
October 20, 2010 at 7:36 pm
So happy for you and your son! Each week you will find something to rejoice in and you will find that your are starting to "take each and every accomplishment and praise it to the hilt" never realize what we take for granted with our NT kids. I feel I've learned the most from my Autistic child. He educates me each and every day with new "creative" ideas and ways to engage. He's a challenge but the rewards, Oh the Rewards! To see a child who would have most likely be mute if he did not get his therapies and see him interacting or trying his best to, is so wonderful and gives you that sense of thankfulness of all the people who helped him along the way and renews your spirit and sense of goodwill. My favorite saying with him is "Inch by Inch, it's a cinch" We have to take small steps (sort of reminds me of the tortoise and the hare) He'll get there in his own time and he's a winner ;)
October 28, 2010 at 12:42 pm
Wow, great work you guys.
December 12, 2010 at 2:03 pm
Wow…. I know you are so proud of Dawson. Thanks for sharing such a special moment. Continue to have faith and be patient, he really is so very special and full of surprises. Exciting to think of what he might do next?

Peavey Electronics is celebrating its 45th anniversary in 2010. It has come a long way from the late 1960s, when Peavey and a handful of loyal employees were operating in his first factory.
"It's a Cinderella story that probably never should have happened," said company founder Hartley Peavey.
But like the blues and rock 'n roll he fell in love with while growing up in Meridian, Peavey and his company have stood the test of time.
"If I hadn't been so naive, I probably would have never attempted it, because I had no idea what I was getting into," Peavey said.
You see, Peavey wanted to be a rock star. He fell in love with the idea of making music on a trip to see Bo Diddley in Laurel in 1957. The problem was young Hartley just didn't have what it took to play music, but he sure could make the gear.
"With Peavey I started out making rather simple guitar amplifiers," he said.
In fact, Peavey made his first amp, upstairs at his dad's music shop on 22nd Avenue. His father, Mutt Peavey, gave him a loan and Peavey Electronics was born.
Hartley would sell his amps one by one, hardly the manufacturing machine his company is today. But in that simple process, the entrepreneur learned his first lesson of giving people what they want. A dedication to filling a void that put him where he is today.
"I started out making guitar and bass amps, and I went out and tried to sell them," Peavey said. "And I had a little success, but not much. And finally I was in Montgomery. He said, 'I have plenty of amps. I don't need them, but if you had a sound system, that would be really interesting'."
So Peavey took the vendor's advice. Once back in Meridian, he designed a four-channel, 100-watt PA system.
"I put it together, went out and they sold like hotcakes. I said, 'whoa, I'm onto something here'," said Peavey.
And he was right. The last 45 years have been an amazing ride for the man who says he says he always marched to the beat of a different drum. The young boy who wanted to become a rock star did. He operates every day on a world stage. His customers are some of the most respected in the music business. But home base has always been Meridian.
"In 45 years, we've had 13,000 people flow through Peavey," said the company founder. "They have come, earned a living. They have gone on, quit, been fired, gone to other places, but we gave a lot of people opportunities that, frankly, they wouldn't have had."
That is what Hartley Peavey is most proud of today. While Peavey Electronics was created to allow him to do what he calls 'his thing', it has allowed generations to do their thing and thrive here at home.
And like any modern company, Peavey Electronics has had to turn, to some extent, to offshore manufacturing. But Peavey says the goal has always been to keep as many jobs here at home as possible.
"If we were in it just for the money, as a lot of people have implied or accused us of, frankly, we would have just shut down or gone offshore and a lot of my competitors did," Peavey said.
And when it comes to the world economy, Peavey knows better than most the hard realities of the recession. Despite reports pointing to an end in sight, Peavey says we have a long way to go.
But despite the recession, Peavey says the company is involved in more projects than ever before. But still, he says business is tough across the world and here at home. In Part 2, Newscenter 11 looks at what the company is doing to stay ahead of the economy.

Republicans running for state legislative office got a majority of votes in Washington County, but only one of them - Marietta resident Andy Thompson - won a seat.
Thompson was elected to the 95th House District seat, while state Rep. Debbie Phillips, D-Albany, won a third term. State Sen. Lou Gentile, D-Steubenville, apparently fended off a challenge by St. Clairsville Republican Shane Thompson in the 30th Senate District.
Andy Thompson, co-publisher and director of sales of the family-owned Bird Watcher's Digest and a former Marietta City Councilman, defeated St. Clairsville Democrat Charlie Daniels, a former corrections officer, to win a second term in the Ohio House of Representatives. With most precincts reporting, the Ohio Secretary of State's office showed Thompson winning nearly 53 percent of the vote.
"I'm elated to win," he said.
Thompson is completing his first term representing the 93rd District, but after the redrawing of legislative districts following the 2010 Census, he'll be in the 95th. That includes all of Noble County and a portion of Washington County, but the city council ward in which Thompson lives is the only part of Marietta in the new district. Meanwhile, Guernsey, Monroe and part of Muskingum County have been replaced with Carroll, Harrison and a portion of Belmont County, making the 95th physically larger than the 93rd.
"My new district is a real challenge. It's stretched me two hours to the north," Thompson said.

To win the support of voters in those new areas, Thompson said he relied on strategies from his previous campaigns for city council and the House.
"I had to knock on a lot of doors," he said. "We got out and met people and did candidate forums."
Thompson said he feels the counties in the new district have a lot in common - they're rural communities that rely a great deal on agriculture, coal, oil and natural gas. He tried to emphasize his support of using those natural resources to meet energy and economic needs during the campaign.
The remainder of Marietta is in the new 94th District, which Phillips, will represent for the next two years.
She defeated Little Hocking resident Charles Richter, who actually received more votes than her in his home county of Washington. The secretary of state's office showed her capturing more than 62 percent of the vote with most precincts reporting.
"I just really appreciate the faith people have shown in me," Phillips said.
Phillips won by the greatest margin in her home county of Athens. A former Athens City Councilwoman, she is in her second term in the Ohio House's 92nd District. The redrawing of lines puts her in the 94th, which trades Morgan County and Athens County's Trimble Township for part of Vinton County and a larger portion of Washington.
"I definitely spent more time campaigning in the areas that were new, just to introduce myself to people," Phillips said.
Early Wednesday, Gentile was leading Shane Thompson 52 percent to 48 percent, according to the secretary of state's website, but Gentile said there were still votes to be tallied in his home county of Jefferson.
If the results held, Gentile said he would be "really looking forward to representing the entire district and Washington County and all the 30th District."
Although he will once again be in the minority party, Gentile said he's accomplished things in his short time in the state Senate.
"I also think in the areas of energy in particular, I will be able to work across the aisle," he said.
Gentile was appointed to the 30th District Senate seat in December and has represented it in its current form, which consists of Belmont, Harrison, Jefferson, Columbiana and Tuscarawas counties. He's also been campaigning in the redrawn 30th, which subtracted Columbiana and Tuscarawas and added Washington, Monroe, Noble, Athens, Carroll, Meigs and part of Vinton County.
Prior to his appointment, Gentile served a year in the Ohio House of Representatives and worked as the assistant director for the Governor's Office of Appalachia.

Power of Attorney: Delegating a Parent's or Guardian's Powers to an Attorney-in-Fact
- Take a narrated tour of the resources described on this page (5 minutes)
Talk to an Attorney
The information on this page is not a substitute for legal advice. You are not required to hire an attorney, but legal matters can be complicated. Consider talking to an attorney to go over your options.
See our Finding Legal Help page for information about ways to get legal help. One way to talk to an attorney is to visit a free legal clinic. Clinics provide general legal information and give brief legal advice. You might also hire an attorney for just part of your case or to do one particular thing, rather than represent you for the whole case. Legal help is also available at discounted rates for people with modest incomes.
Utah law allows a parent to temporarily delegate authority over a minor child by completing a "Power of Attorney." Utah Code Section 75-5-103. A guardian can delegate authority over a protected person in the same way.
A Power of Attorney appoints a person, called the "attorney-in-fact," to make decisions for the minor, but it does not create a guardianship. The attorney-in-fact must be a responsible adult, but does not need to be related to the parent or to the minor. The parent can delegate all authority or only some authority.
For example, a parent who will be out of the country for several months can appoint an attorney-in-fact to take necessary action about the minor's custody, schooling, or healthcare while the parent is gone. Or the parent can limit the power of the attorney-in-fact to certain things, such as authorizing specific medical or dental treatment.
The Power of Attorney takes effect when the parent completes the form and signs it under oath in front of a notary. It remains in effect until the date stated on the form but that date cannot be more than 6 months away.
The parent can revoke the Power of Attorney at any time. Written notice of the revocation should be given to the attorney-in-fact and to anyone who has been given a copy of the Power of Attorney form. If possible, collect and destroy the original Power of Attorney and all copies when the appointment is revoked or when it expires.

bias) the author's decisions, work, or manuscript. All authors are required
to report potential conflicts of interest, including specific financial interests
relevant to the subject of their manuscript, in their cover letter and on JAMA's financial disclosure form or in an attachment
to the form. Authors without relevant financial interests in the manuscript
should indicate no such interest (See Authorship Criteria and Responsibility Form).6
Authors are required to report detailed information regarding all financial
and material support for the research and work, including but not limited
to grant support, funding sources, and provision of equipment and supplies.
Each author also is required to sign and submit the following financial disclosure
statement: "I certify that all my affiliations with or financial involvement,
within the past 5 years and foreseeable future (eg, employment, consultancies,
honoraria, stock ownership or options, expert testimony, grants or patents
received or pending, royalties) with any organization or entity with a financial
interest in or financial conflict with the subject matter or materials discussed
in the manuscript are completely disclosed."
Authors are expected to provide detailed information about any relevant
financial interests or financial conflicts within the past 5 years and for
the foreseeable future, particularly those present at the time the research
was conducted and up to the time of publication, as well as other financial
interests, such as relevant filed or pending patents or patent applications
in preparation, that represent potential future financial gain. Although many
universities and other institutions and organizations have established policies
and thresholds for reporting financial interests and other conflicts of interest, JAMA requires complete disclosure of all relevant financial
relationships and potential financial conflicts of interest, regardless of
amount or value. If authors are uncertain about what might constitute a potential
financial conflict of interest, they should err on the side of full disclosure
and should contact the editorial office if they have questions or concerns.
In addition, authors who have no relevant financial interests are asked to
provide a statement indicating that they have no financial interests related
to the material in the manuscript.
This information is for the editorial office and is not shared with
peer reviewers. However, for all accepted manuscripts, each author's
disclosures of relevant financial interests and declarations of no relevant
financial interests will be published. Decisions about whether financial information
provided by authors should be published, and thereby disclosed to readers,
are usually straightforward. Although editors are willing to discuss disclosure
of specific financial information with authors, JAMA's
policy is one of complete disclosure of all relevant financial interests.
This policy applies for all manuscript submissions, including letters
to the editor and book reviews.
Funding/Support and Role of Sponsor. All financial
and material support for the research and the work should be clearly and completely
identified in an Acknowledgment. The role of the funding organization or sponsor
in each of the following should be specified: design and conduct of the study;
collection, management, analysis, and interpretation of the data; and preparation,
review, or approval of the manuscript.6
Data Access and Responsibility. For reports
containing original data, at least 1 author who is independent of any commercial
funder (eg, the principal investigator) should indicate that she or he "had
full access to all the data in the study and takes responsibility for the
integrity of the data and the accuracy of the data analysis."6 For industry sponsored studies, the data analysis
should be conducted by statisticians at an academic center, rather than only
by statisticians employed by the company sponsoring the research.
Peer Review. All submitted manuscripts are
reviewed initially by a JAMA editor. Manuscripts
with insufficient priority for publication are rejected promptly. Other manuscripts
are sent to expert consultants for peer review. Peer reviewer identities are
kept confidential, but author identities are known by reviewers. The existence
of a manuscript under review is not revealed to anyone other than peer reviewers
and editorial staff. Information from submitted manuscripts may be systematically
collected and analyzed as part of research to improve the quality of the editorial
or peer review process. Identifying information remains confidential.
Rejected Manuscripts. Rejected manuscripts
will not be returned to authors. Print copies of original illustrations, photographs,
and slides will be returned if requested.
Editing. Accepted manuscripts are edited in
accordance with the American Medical Association Manual
of Style1 and returned to the author
for approval. Authors are responsible for all statements made in their work,
including changes made by the manuscript editor and authorized by the corresponding
Embargo Policy. All information regarding the
content and publication date of accepted manuscripts is strictly confidential.
Information contained in or about accepted articles cannot appear in print,
on radio or television, or in electronic form or be released by the news media
until 3 PM CT on Tuesday, the day before its publication date.2
Unauthorized Use. Published manuscripts become
the permanent property of the American Medical Association (AMA) and may not
be published elsewhere without written permission. Unauthorized use of the JAMA name, logo, or any content for commercial purposes
or to promote commercial goods and services (in any format, including print,
video, audio, and digital) is not permitted by JAMA or
the AMA.
Reprints. Reprint order forms are included
with the edited typescript sent for approval to the corresponding author.
Reprints ship 2 weeks after publication.
ePrints. Corresponding authors who provide
an e-mail address for publication will receive an electronic link that provides
25 free online accesses to the PDF view of their article.
Manuscripts should be prepared in accordance with the American
Medical Association Manual of Style1 and/or
the Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals.4
Authors are encouraged to submit manuscripts by e-mail.
When submitting by e-mail, text, tables, and figures should be included
in the same file (if possible). Do not submit duplicate copies by mail or
Include a cover letter and complete contact information for the corresponding
author: address, telephone and fax numbers, and e-mail address.
On the title page include the full names, highest academic degrees,
and affiliations of all authors. If an author's affiliation has changed
since the work was done, list the new affiliation as well.
Double-space throughout, including title page, abstract, text, acknowledgments,
references, figure legends, and tables. Start each of these sections on a
new page, numbered consecutively, beginning with the title page.
On the title page, include word count for text only, exclusive of title,
abstract, references, figure legends, and tables.
Do not use abbreviations in the title or abstract and limit their use
in the text.
Use 10-, 11-, or 12-point font size.
Units of Measure. Conventional units of measure
are preferred, with Système International (SI) units expressed secondarily
(in parentheses). In tables and figures, a conversion factor to SI may be
presented in the footnote or legend to economize space. Exceptions to this
policy include calories, hematocrit, glycosylated hemoglobin, blood cell counts,
and ejection fraction, for which conventional units alone should be expressed.
The metric system is preferred for the expression of length, area, mass, and
volume. For more details, see the SI unit conversion table.
Use nonproprietary names of drugs, devices, and other products, unless
the specific trade name of a drug is directly relevant to the discussion.1(pp355-356)
Consult the Human Genome Organisation Gene Nomenclature Committee site
for gene names and symbols (http://www.gene.ucl.ac.uk/nomenclature).
Abstract. Include a structured abstract of
no more than 300 words for reports of original data, reviews and, meta-analyses.
(See instructions for preparing structured abstracts.) For other major manuscripts,
include an unstructured abstract of no more than 200 words that summarizes
the objective, main points, and conclusions of the article. Abstracts are
not required for editorials, commentaries, and special features.
Ethical Requirements. For human or animal experimental
investigations, appropriate institutional review board approval is required
and should be so stated.1(p140) For
those investigators who do not have formal ethics review committees, the principles
outlined in the Declaration of Helsinki should be followed.7 For
investigations of human subjects, state in the Methods section the manner
in which informed consent was obtained from the study participants.
Include a signed statement of informed consent to publish (in print
and online) patient descriptions, photographs, and pedigrees from all persons
(parents or legal guardians for minors) who can be identified (including by
the patients themselves) in such written descriptions, photographs, or pedigrees.
Such persons should be shown the manuscript before its submission. 1(pp141-142) Omitting data or making data
less specific to deidentify patients is acceptable but changing any such data
is not acceptable. See patient permission form.
Reporting Race/Ethnicity. If race and/or ethnicity
is reported, indicate who classified individuals as to race/ethnicity, the
classifications, and whether the options were defined by the investigator
or the participant. Explain why race and/or ethnicity was assessed in the
Personal Communications and Unpublished Data. Include
a signed statement of permission from each individual identified as a source
of information in a personal communication or as a source for unpublished
data, and specify the date of communication and whether the communication
was written or oral.1(p125)
Reproduced Material.JAMA does
not republish text, tables, figures, or other material from other publishers,
except under rare circumstances. Please delete any such material and replace
with originals.
References. Number references in the order
they appear in the text; do not alphabetize. In text, tables, and legends,
identify references with superscript arabic numerals. When listing references,
follow AMA style1(pp28-51) and abbreviate
names of journals according to Index Medicus. Note:
List all authors and/or editors up to 6; if more than 6, list the first 3
followed by "et al."
Authors are responsible for the accuracy and completeness
of their references and for correct text citation.

All reports of original data, systematic reviews and meta-analyses,
and clinical reviews should be submitted with structured abstracts as described
below. No information should be reported in the abstract that does not appear
in the text of the manuscript. The following is adapted from "More informative
abstracts revisited."8
Reports of original data should include an abstract of no more than
300 words using the following headings: Context, Objective, Design, Setting,
Patients (or Participants), Interventions (include only if there are any),
Main Outcome Measure(s), Results, and Conclusions. For brevity, parts of the
abstract may be written as phrases rather than complete sentences. Each section
should include the following content:
1. Context. The abstract should begin with
a sentence or 2 explaining the clinical (or other) importance of the study
2. Objective. State the precise objective or
study question addressed in the report (eg, "To determine whether .
. ."). If more than 1 objective is addressed, the main objective should
be indicated and only key secondary objectives stated. If an a priori hypothesis
was tested, it should be stated.
3. Design. Describe the basic design of the
study. State the years of the study and the duration of follow-up. If applicable,
include the name of the study (eg, the Framingham Heart Study).
4. Setting. Describe the study setting to assist
readers to determine the applicability of the report to other circumstances,
for example, general community, a primary care or referral center, private
or institutional practice, or ambulatory or hospitalized care.
5. Patients or Other Participants. State the
clinical disorders, important eligibility criteria, and key sociodemographic
features of patients. The numbers of participants and how they were selected
should be provided (see below), including the number of otherwise eligible
individuals who were approached but refused. If matching is used for comparison
groups, characteristics that are matched should be specified. In follow-up
studies, the proportion of participants who completed the study must be indicated.
In intervention studies, the number of patients withdrawn because of adverse
effects should be given. For selection procedures, these terms should be used,
if appropriate: random sample (where random refers to a formal, randomized
selection in which all eligible individuals have a fixed and usually equal
chance of selection); population-based sample; referred sample; consecutive
sample; volunteer sample; convenience sample.
6. Intervention(s). The essential features
of any interventions should be described, including their method and duration
of administration. The intervention should be named by its most common clinical
name, and nonproprietary drug names should be used.
7. Main Outcome Measure(s). Indicate the primary
study outcome measurement(s) as planned before data collection began. If the
manuscript does not report the main planned outcomes of a study, this fact
should be stated and the reason indicated. State clearly if the hypothesis
being tested was formulated during or after data collection.
8. Results. The main outcomes of the study
should be provided and quantified, including confidence intervals (for example,
95%) or P values. For comparative studies, the differences
between groups should be expressed with confidence intervals. Explain outcomes
or measurements unfamiliar to a general medical readership. Important measurements
not presented in results should be declared. As relevant, indicate whether
observers were blinded to patient groupings, particularly for subjective measurements.
If differences for the major study outcome measure(s) are not significant,
the clinically important difference sought should be stated and the confidence
interval for the difference between the groups should be given. When risk
changes or effect sizes are given, absolute values should be indicated. Approaches
such as number needed to treat to achieve a unit of benefit are encouraged
when appropriate; reporting of relative differences alone is insufficient.
Studies of screening and diagnostic tests should report sensitivity, specificity,
and likelihood ratio. If predictive value or accuracy is given, prevalence
or pretest likelihood should be given as well. All randomized controlled trials
should include the results of intention-to-treat analysis, and all surveys
should include response rates.
9. Conclusions. Provide only conclusions of
the study directly supported by the results, along with implications for clinical
practice, avoiding speculation and overgeneralization. Indicate whether additional
study is required before the information should be used in usual clinical
settings. Give equal emphasis to positive and negative findings of equal scientific
Manuscripts reporting the results of meta-analyses should include an
abstract of no more than 300 words using the following headings: Context,
Objective, Data Sources, Study Selection, Data Extraction, Data Synthesis,
and Conclusions. The text of the manuscript should also include a section
describing the methods used for data sources, study selection, data extraction,
and data synthesis. Each heading should be followed by a brief description:
1. Context. A sentence or 2 explaining the
importance of the review question.
2. Objective. State the precise primary objective
of the review. Indicate whether the review emphasizes factors such as cause,
diagnosis, prognosis, therapy, or prevention and include information about
the specific population, intervention, exposure, and tests or outcomes that
are being reviewed.
3. Data Sources. Succinctly summarize data
sources, including years searched. Potential sources include computerized
databases and published indexes, registries, abstract booklets, conference
proceedings, references identified from bibliographies of pertinent articles
and books, experts or research institutions active in the field, and companies
or manufacturers of tests or agents being reviewed. If a bibliographic database
is used, state the exact indexing terms used for article retrieval, including
any constraints (for example, English language or human subjects). If abstract
space does not permit this level of detail, summarize sources in the abstract
including databases and years searched, and place the remainder of the information
in the Methods section.
4. Study Selection. Describe inclusion and
exclusion criteria used to select studies for detailed review from among studies
identified as relevant to the topic. Details of selection should include
particular populations, interventions, outcomes, or methodological designs.
The method used to apply these criteria should be specified (for example,
blinded review, consensus, multiple reviewers). State the proportion of initially
identified studies that met selection criteria.
5. Data Extraction. Describe guidelines used
for abstracting data and assessing data quality and validity (such as criteria
for causal inference). The method by which the guidelines were applied should
be stated (for example, independent extraction by multiple observers).
6. Data Synthesis. State the main results of
the review, whether qualitative or quantitative, and outline the methods used
to obtain these results. Meta-analyses should state the major outcomes that
were pooled and include odds ratios or effect sizes and, if possible, sensitivity
analyses. Numerical results should be accompanied by confidence intervals,
if applicable, and exact levels of statistical significance. Evaluations of
screening and diagnostic tests should include sensitivity, specificity, likelihood
ratios, receiver operating characteristic curves, and predictive values. Assessments
of prognosis should summarize survival characteristics and related variables.
Major identified sources of variation between studies should be stated, including
differences in treatment protocols, co-interventions, confounders, outcome
measures, length of follow-up, and dropout rates.
7. Conclusions. The conclusions and their applications
(clinical or otherwise) should be clearly stated, limiting interpretation
to the domain of the review.
Clinical Review articles should include an abstract of no more than
250 words with the following sections: Context, Evidence Acquisition, Evidence
Synthesis, and Conclusions.
Context. Include 1 or 2 sentences describing
the clinical question or issue and its importance in clinical practice or
public heath.
Evidence Acquisition. Describe the data sources
used, including the search strategies, years searched, and other sources of
material, such as subsequent reference searches of retreived articles. Methods
used for quality assessment and inclusion of identified articles should be
Evidence Synthesis. The major findings of the
review of the clinical issue or topic should be addressed in an evidence-based,
objective, and balanced fashion, with the highest quality evidence available
receiving the greatest emphasis.
Conclusions. The conclusions should clearly
answer the questions posed if applicable, be based on available evidence,
and emphasize how clinicians should apply current knowledge.
Manuscripts reporting the results of randomized trials should include
the CONSORT flow diagram showing the progress of patients throughout the
trial (see Figure). The CONSORT checklist
(see Table) also should be
completed and submitted with the manuscript.9 Authors
of RCTs are also encouraged to submit trial protocols along with their manuscripts.
Progress through the stages of a trial, including flow of participants,
withdrawals, and timing of primary and secondary outcome measures.
Trial Registration. As a member of the International
Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE), JAMA will
require, as a condition of consideration for publication, registration of
all trials in a public trials registry.4,10 Trials
must be registered at or before the onset of patient enrollment. This policy
applies to any clinical trial starting enrollment after July 1, 2005. For
trials that began enrollment before this date, registration will be required
by September 13, 2005, before considering the trial for publication. For this
purpose, the ICMJE defines a clinical trial as any research project that prospectively
assigns human subjects to intervention or comparison groups to study the cause-and-effect
relationship between a medical intervention and a health outcome. Studies
designed for other purposes, such as to study pharmacokinetics or major toxicity
(eg, phase 1 trials), are exempt.
Authors of reports of diagnostic tests are encouraged to submit the
STARD flow diagram and checklist (for more information, see Clin
Chem. 2003;49:1-6; 7-18 or http://www.clinchem.org/cgi/content/full
Authors of reports of meta-analyses of randomized trials are encouraged
to submit the QUOROM flow diagram and checklist (http://www.consort-statement.org/QUOROM.pdf). Authors of meta-analyses of observational studies are
encouraged to submit the MOOSE checklist (http://www.consort-statement.org/MOOSE.pdf).
Authors of reports of cost-effectiveness analyses and decision analyses
must submit a copy of the decision tree comprising their model. This is for
editorial evaluation and review, not for publication, unless it is included
in the body of the manuscript itself.

Swarthmore will be open to public, but.....
Swat has a policy of allowing outsiders to attend there shows, but they usually charge between 5 and 10 bucks to cover beer and other extraneous show expenses. Should be a dope show, I hope people are getting hyped for this one!! any and all questions, comments, suggestions, email (djcabell@phillyfreshbeats) or Caroline Bermudez at Swarthmore (email@example.com)

sorry for the crazyness...i'll talk to caroline...
As far as I know, people from outside the tri-co community SHOULD be able to pay to see the performance, i mean only like 30 people came out to see mablib, PB Wolf and egon, some from as far as harrisburg PA....Basically, there's no way she's not gonna charge people from outside school...especially because there's gopnna be lots more than 30 people coming to check out Sage im sure of that!!!
and Jaryd, i dont remember Dose doing much before this year's scribble, except shows in Philly and Pittsburg, i was at that TLA show....CanOx, Eyedea, some others....so i'd say na...not Dose....he's got some wax out and an LP, but it sold out mad quickly.......check the second verse on the song "The Situation" at ughh.com or hiphopinfinity.com
Again, I will confirm that non-trico students can pay to see the performance, till then....
