terristories loosely depicts the last year and a half of the artists' life experiences- primarily focusing on her recent move from The South to her new home here in Wilmington, De. The efforts to conceive and the recent birth of boy/girl twins are also influential concepts in this series of paintings. As the artist adapts to new territories (geographical & figurative), she processes change through creating abstracted, indistinct stories that capture both the essence of landscape & the assimilation to new culture whilst navigating her way through motherhood.
Artist Bio:
T.S. Kist recently relocated from Savannah, Ga to Wilmington, De. and welcomed twin babies on December 31, 2012. Works range from abstracted acrylic paintings on canvas & paper to experimental sculptural works using non-traditional found objects.
Her paintings have been featured in the national publication, New American Paintings; recipients of several awards; and have been collected throughout the country. Kist was awarded an artist residency at the Vermont Studio Center this past Fall as a sculpture artist. After the birth of her babies, she continues to create and paint as she adjusts to her new surroundings.

The National Baseball Hall of Fame Commemorative Coin Act (Public Law 112-152), signed into law on August 3, 2012, requires the Secretary of the Treasury to mint and issue up to:
These coins are being issued in recognition and celebration of the National Baseball Hall of Fame, which celebrates its 75th anniversary in 2014.
Prices for the coins will include surcharges of $35 for each gold coin, $10 for each silver coin, and $5 for each half-dollar, which are authorized to be paid to the National Baseball Hall of Fame, an independent not-for-profit educational institution, to help fund its operations.
From April 11-May 11, 2013, a nationwide competition was held to determine the obverse design for the coin.
The common obverse (heads) design depicts a glove that, combined with the baseball design featured on the reverse, exemplifies the most basic elements of our national pastime or a simple game of catch in the backyard or at the local sandlot. The glove design also highlights the unique concavity of the coin.
The winning design, submitted by Cassie McFarland, was selected from the finalists by the Department of the Treasury on September 4, 2013, after consultation with the National Baseball Hall of Fame and U.S. Commission of Fine Arts and review by the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee.
The common inscriptions on each coin's obverse are LIBERTY, IN GOD WE TRUST, and 2014. The obverse design was sculpted by United States Mint Sculptor-Engraver Don Everhart.
Proof $5 Gold Obverse
Proof Silver Dollar Obverse
Proof Clad Half-Dollar Obverse
The common reverse (tails) design of each coin depicts a baseball similar to those used in Major League Baseball®. The final design, also designed and sculpted by Everhart, was approved by the Department of the Treasury on May 20, 2013, after consultation with the National Baseball Hall of Fame and U.S. Commission of Fine Arts and review by the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee.
The common inscriptions on each coin's reverse are UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and E PLURIBUS UNUM. Additional inscriptions (seen below) are:
Proof $5 Gold Reverse
Proof Silver Dollar Reverse
Proof Clad Half-Dollar Reverse
The National Baseball Hall of Fame Commemorative $5 gold, $1 silver, and one-half dollar clad coins will have a shape such that the obverse is concave and the reverse is convex. While these will be the first curved coins ever minted by the United States Mint, it did produce the curved 1973 Roberto Walker Clemente Congressional Gold Medal in honor of the late Pittsburgh Pirates star right fielder.
The National Baseball Commemorative Coin Act specifically refers to modeling the coins after the convex/concave 2009 International Year of Astronomy Coins minted and issued by the Monnaie de Paris (French Mint). The United States Mint's National Baseball Hall of Fame Commemorative $5 gold, the $1 silver and one-half dollar clad coins will also be closely modeled after the Royal Australian Mint's Southern Cross curved coins.
Research and development on the curved National Baseball Hall of Fame Commemorative Coins is unprecedented in recent United States Mint history. It covered height of relief limitations; milling, turning and grinding operations; coinability issues; laser frosting and proof polishing; and proof, uncirculated and clad test strikes.
During the planning phase for the minting and production of its first-ever curved coins, the Royal Australian and Perth Mints provided valuable technical insight to the United States Mint.
$5 GOLD COIN Composition 90% gold, 10% alloy Diameter 0.850 inch (± 0.005) 21.59 mm (± 0.127) Weight 8.359 grams Overall Height 0.141 inch (± 0.005) Mintage Limit 50,000 across all gold product options
SILVER DOLLAR Composition 90% silver, 10% copper Diameter 1.500 inches (± 0.005) 38.10 mm (± 0.127) Weight 26.73 grams Overall Height 0.243 inch (± 0.010) Mintage Limit 400,000 across all silver product options

The National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum is an independent not-for-profit educational institution dedicated to fostering an appreciation of the historical development of baseball and its impact on our culture. The Museum supports this mission by collecting, preserving, exhibiting and interpreting its collections for a global audience, as well as honoring those who have made outstanding contributions to the National Pastime.
The Baseball Hall of Fame's centerpiece is its historic gallery, where the plaques of all 300 members line the oak walls. Only 1 percent–one in 100–who have played baseball in the major leagues have a plaque in the Hall of Fame.
The museum's collections contain more than 40,000 three-dimensional artifacts representing all facets of the game, from its inception in the mid-19th century to the present. These include bats, baseballs, uniforms, player equipment, ballpark artifacts, awards, artwork, textiles, tickets, collectibles and assorted memorabilia. In addition, the institution's archives contain in excess of 130,000 baseball cards and 3 million library items, including photographs, books, magazines, newspaper clippings, films, video and audiotapes.
Since its opening in 1939, more than 15 million baseball fans have visited the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum to learn about the history of the sport and the game's unique connection to the American experience.

It seems like Trey and Fish at least got extra caffeinated at several points throughout the first set. The Tube, in only its second opening slot, is hot to trot out of the gates with a stepped up tempo from Fish. The Guelah sees Trey "singing" one of the last choruses in a very herky-jerky fashion, putting his syllablic stresses all around the original phrasing without ever really falling out of it. You'll have to listen yourselves to really hear what I'm talking about.
Trey also is very peppy during Brother, almost frantically/obsessively rattling off family members and their relative proximity to the featured tub. The set is overall very-well paced, and hits a lot of great spots, like the Tube opener, a birthday-dedicated Paul and Silas, and a solidly energetic Divided anchoring the middle of the set.
They definitely build on the energy of the first set by tearing right into Sloth, impactful and hard-hitting, to open the second. Sparkle is barely a month old and undeniably fits nicely with the high-energy feel of the show so far.
I've read that they didn't really find their groove in Melt until spring of '93 or thereabouts (something about that Hoist 4/21/93 version, right?). Shame they were so hard on themselves because I think this is a damn fine Melt with an ending that I enjoyed most for Fish's contribution. But then, I'm not a musician, just an ardent lover of music.
The Mike's Groove is solid, with special proto-jam nod to the Weekapaug, definitely a slightly more compressed prelude to some of the epic versions of the mid-to-late '90s, though of course the vocal stylings are more home in this early '90s Phish. I repeat: vocals silly, but music is pretty incredible. Sharing in the lard, hilarious. Almost type II Weekapaug jam in '91? Priceless.
After an able bodied Jesus, a small ambient rock build up serves as intro music for a mini Dude o Life set. I'd remarked about my surprise of no reviews of this show with a Dude appearance, but upon listening to it, I remembered that no review doesn't mean mine would be a terribly positive one. Two slightly better tunes bookended two others that are hard to imagine listening to a second time (much like my purchase of the Dude album). And it's mostly the music that makes the other two any good. Self is of course the modified Chalkdust, and Crimes isn't a bad Sample meets I Saw It Again rocker. In fact, I'm almost surprised this song didn't at least make a stab at being in the Phish repertoire.
The Fee encore is notable mostly for the blood curdling screams of girlish joy at getting Fee for an encore coming form the crowd. Suzy comes in crisply and tartly to cap off an evening of seemingly unexplained piss and vinegar from the band (not to mention the randomness of the Dude in Alabama... right?).

Gwar frontman Dave Brockie was found dead over the weekend.
The 50-year-old singer -- also known as Oderus Urungus -- of the gross out, heavy metal parody band was found early Sunday morning sitting upright in a chair at his Richmond, VA. home, law enforcement sources told TMZ.
The website reported police don't expect foul play. One law enforcement source reportedly said "There were no drugs found, as far as I know." Another law enforcement source supposedly said it wasn't a suicide. Brockie was found by his roommate.
The band shot to stardom (well, sort of) during the '90s, with their over the top costumes and stage show. They were a favorite on "Beavis and Butthead" back in the day.

Saturday November 28
Woosta, baby, Wootsa!
Wolfman's ->
Timber Ho!
Loving Cup
Crapstain (!, yeah, again....) ->
Wow. This was just tonight. Seems like quite a bit ago....
The Gumbo was really something else. I would definately recomend hearing
this for yourself, even if that means breaking into your neighbor's house
and kidnapping his schnauzer.
Aaron called the Tube (go Aaron) but I called it in the 2-slot (go me).
Tonight's FOAM was particularly good, and included a diminuendo (sp? - my
Italian's not very good...) to virtual nothingness...it reminded me of the
Hood from the Spokane Opera House in '95 - sorry I don't remember the
date...but if you know what I'm talking about it didn't get that
quiet...it just reminded me of it. >%^P
The Split Open was also partcularly good, I thought. It made for a nice,
solid piece of work to call Set I.
The Wolfman's had some very nice jamming which I'm fairly certain ->'d
into Timber Ho!, which was of course a treat to hear for the first time in
nearly a year (am I forgetting one between now and NYE Run '97?). I had
been waiting for Loving Cup, too (I missed Denver & MTSU and therefore was
seeing it for the first time this tour...).
Crossroads was a very big suprise, and definately came out of (->'d) the
Fuckerpants. And, yes, I did give it another (!) this time - it just kind
of 'rocks' now is all. And I mean 'rocks' in a Caspian sort of way,
The Tweezer wasn't all that great actually. At some point, when things
were not really going anywhere, Trey said to Mike and Mike said to Fishman
"Cavern," which they then played. Mike seemed to be a bit out-of-himself
since mid-Fuckerpants, and he was really hurting by the time Cavern came.
He seemed annoyed with something - and really didn't put much into the
'Cavern Dance' he and Trey do. Not that he's typically that into the
dance moves, anyway...
So things have been great these past few days, and I can't wait for
tomorrow's moneyback gar-on-tee mayhem. After that I'll be in Wheaton for
a while for anyone who wants to get in touch with me.
From the last four shows (New Haven, Albany, Woosta, Woosta) I'd have to
rank my favorite set/show like this:
Fav. Set: 11/27 II Woosta - Duh. Just wait 'till you hear this (and you
will.) I'm putting it right now in the leagues of 12/6/97 II Auburn
Hills, MI...which was before Friday one of my top 3 favorite sets of all
times. The setlist tells no lies...
Fav. Show: I have to put 11/25 The Knick. Not only becuase of the 4th
Anniv./60th Show deal, (and I *really* still can't believe those
numbers....that's why I keep typing them...) but because of the noticable
change that occured between the Bowie and the Good Times during those
acoustic tunes. Granted, the first set is nothing stellar, but the way
they turned it around and (imPsfho) saved a show from the depths of
failure and salvaged their pride, sanity, and musical prowess only to come
away with an incredible second set.
So tomorrow we end all this silliness...
Thanks again Aaron for the tickets, Pete for the candy, Jerry, Rod and
Eric for the patches, and thanks to all of you who made it through this
ridicculusly long review. See you tomorrow night!!!

Administrators with the Santa Clara Unified School District improperly received thousands of dollars for performing accounting tasks for two outside agencies -- work done during normal work hours, an independent audit has concluded.
The audit was performed at the request of the Santa Clara County Office of Education after its employees noticed questionable payments to the school district's business officials.
"There is sufficient evidence to demonstrate that fraud, illegal acts and lack of internal controls appear to have occurred," wrote auditor Michael W. Ammermon, a certified fraud examiner based in Laguna Niguel in Southern California. He reviewed payments for 2009-10 and 2010-11, and sampled payments made in 2008-09.
However, it's possible the alleged fraud is actually a disagreement over accounting methods and the definition of a manager's regular work hours.
The payments in question came from two agencies. One, the South Bay Area School Insurance Joint Powers Authority, is a consortium of 12 school districts that together self-fund liability and property insurance. The other, the Silicon Valley Transportation JPA, provides legally required busing for special-education students for six school districts.
Santa Clara Unified charges a fee for its employees to handle the accounting for both agencies. Together, the payments amounted to about $41,000 in each of the two years audited. Until sometime in 2011, the payments were made directly to five Santa Clara Unified employees. Once the County Office of Education raised questions, it appears the payments then were made to the school district instead. Ammermon issued his report late last month.
Payments from the two agencies were paid to Assistant Superintendent for Business Services Jim Luyau, Budget Manager Kimberly Nguyen, Accounting Manager Patricia Eagels, Director of Bond Projects Roger Barnes and Transportation Manager William Noftz.
Ammermon alleges that the employees tried to hide the payments. But Santa Clara Unified Superintendent Bobbie Plough said, "We don't see that. Everybody knew they did the work, everybody knew they got paid."
Barnes, who retired in December, said administrators were being paid for extra work they did beyond their job descriptions.
Ammermon said that if that was the case, then administrators should have been doing that work outside regular work hours, but time stamps on papers show the JPA work was done during regular hours.
The five employees in question are all managers. "These are exempt employees, they don't have regular hours," Plough said. "They stay until their work is done. And they did all their work."
Barnes said some of the agencies' work couldn't be done at other times. "My duties had to done in conjunction with board meetings I was already attending," he said. "I couldn't tell everybody, 'Hold on, let's do this over lunch or after 6 o'clock.'"
Doing JPA work during the day just means that managers did their other work after hours, Barnes said.
District employees, including teachers and administrators, may receive stipends for extra work such as attending meetings. Plus, he said, JPA board members from other school districts all knew that Santa Clara managers were being compensated for their accounting work.
Payroll taxes were deducted from the payment, he said. "There was no attempt to conceal it."
County schools Superintendent Xavier De La Torre is scheduled to present the audit's findings at the Santa Clara Unified board meeting Thursday night.
The County Office of Education is involved because it issues warrants, similar to checks, for payments owed by school agencies.
"We take this report very seriously," Plough said, but the district is consulting with its attorney, Richard Noack, about how to handle it while balancing employees' due process rights, she said.

Unless I'm mistaken I would love to see the feature added to play movies directly off of a hard drive that is plugged directly into the PS3. I know you can do this already without this program but if there was a way to play mkv files directly off the hard drive this would be a great feature being that ps3 doesn't support mkv files on it's own. I love that you can now stream them over your network to the ps3 but I'm finding that a lot of the mkv files are so large I get a lot of choppy videos when other people in my house are on the internet sowing down my connection speed as I am forced to used Wifi in my current home setup.
Or as an alternative it would be cool to be able to plug in the Ps3s Ethernet directly to my PC's Ethernet and get a direct hardwired stream from my computer. again not positive if there is already a way to do so.

After filing a lawsuit against him one week ago, Augusta government watchdog Woody Merry is meeting face to face with commissioner Marion Williams for a deposition hearing. News 12 was there.
He may not have wanted to be there, but Judge Overstreet did order Marion Williams to appear before Woody Merry and his attorney this afternoon to answer questions under oath about the pending lawsuit.
"He's violating my civil rights, one man, one vote, he's not going to stop the democratic process," Woody Merry said.
After filing a lawsuit against him one week ago, for the first time Woody Merry is meeting face to face with Commissioner Marion Williams.
"We're not putting up with this anymore. We're legally going to pursue this as far as we have to to bring aid to this dying community," Merry said.
Under a judge's order, Marion Williams appeared at the Neal Law Office for deposition, answering questions under oath from Merry and his attorney.
"When you have a commissioner whether he's black or white abstaining, a gridlock in the government and then voting against himself for a job he says he wants, this is wrong and it's going to stop," Merry said.
The lawsuit comes after the January commission meeting where Merry says Williams illegally abstained twice from the vote for a mayor pro tem preventing the mayor from breaking a tie between he and Andy Cheek. Our cameras were not allowed inside, but after an hour or so of sworn testimony Marion Williams had little to say.
"No sir, I ain't got no comment," Williams said.
Attorney Joe Neal says Williams refused to answer some of his questions during the deposition like why he abstained but he says what the commissioner did say is enough for their case.
"We are confident we have the proof we need from his deposition to pretty much alone win this case," Neal said.

Acts of Love: Parenthood
I don't watch a lot of television but one show that I've started viewing regularly is "Parenthood" and it is definitely because of the autism story. I really enjoyed a recent episode that dealt with the theme of parents trying to relate to their children, but found themselves thwarted by external forces.
Knowing the characters and the actors who portray them isn't critical to understand how their experiences are universal. Sarah, the single mother, wanted to bond with her daughter Amber, who was clearly embarrassed to bring her new wealthy friend over because of the differences in their parents' incomes and lifestyles. Kristina wanted to help her daughter Haddie win the student body election but pushed too hard and ultimately antagonized her. Crosby wanted to spend time with his son but got passive resistance from the boy's maternal grandmother. Adam tried to get his son Max interested in anything they could share together but found no response despite his multiple attempts.
Although these examples sound very much alike, Adam's challenge was very different from those of his siblings because their obstacles existed in the form of another person and his was a thing—Max's autism. In one scene we witnessed the extended Braverman family of siblings, cousins and grandparents casually spending time and interacting together while Adam watched Max engrossed in a video game, completely unconcerned with his surroundings. No words were necessary to express the sense of emptiness Adam felt as he painfully wished his son played with him, or anyone for that matter.
It was a powerful moment that parents of children with autism can easily relate to and my wife turned to ask if I ever felt that way. My immediate response was, "Oh, yeah." My son, Andrew, will be 18 in less than a week and even though he's made amazing progress from when he was first diagnosed with autism and Asperger Syndrome at 3½, we will always have concerns.
A few nights after this episode aired we were at a Bat Mitzvah celebration and Andrew was having a fantastic time. Even though he doesn't connect socially with typical kids his age, he manages to have fun because he really loves music and is totally uninhibited dancing at parties. It's much like parallel play that's typical of younger kids—a dozen teens were lined up doing the "Cha Cha Slide" and Andrew was doing the exact same moves ten feet behind the group.
At one point in the evening I saw another boy walk up to him and then Andrew pulled out his wallet and handed this kid a dollar bill. I thought this was odd and went up to Andrew and asked what happened, and he said the boy wanted money to ask the DJ to play a specific song. (That seemed to be true since I saw the boy trying to hand over the money but the DJ refused.)
Regardless of the other kid's intent, which I can't say was benevolent since he asked someone he just met—a naïve young man who appeared to be an easy target—for money, I had to explain to Andrew that he can't just give money to people who ask him. It was not an easy situation because Andrew gets agitated when he's caught in a situation doing something he shouldn't, even in this instance where his motive was pure.
Later that night I saw that same boy come up to Andrew and give him the dollar back. Andrew proudly walked up to me and flashed the bill in my face saying, "See. I got it back!" Well, I suppose that's nice, but what's going to happen when something similar happens as Andrew is walking down the street by himself as an adult. Will a complete stranger take advantage of his open disposition?
I think about Adam Braverman's frustration with his son's Asperger Syndrome and even when he admitted that wanting to connect with Max was more about fulfilling his own needs than his son's, that doesn't make it any easier. Once again I can relate, but it's more than that. Andrew connecting with others in socially appropriate ways will be important for keeping a job and all the other interactions we generally take for granted because we learn them intuitively.
As a parent of a son with autism, I'm always excited to see stories in the media that can increase the understanding and awareness of autism in the general population. "Parenthood" does an excellent job of just that in a very realistic way, and we are proud to be honoring Executive Producer Jason Katims with an award at this year's Acts of Love event.
Autism Speaks' 8th annual Acts of Love will take place November 4 at Creative Artists Agency in Los Angeles. Scheduled to appear this year are Phil Abrams (Parenthood, The Island), Amy Brenneman (Private Practice, Judging Amy), Connie Britton (Friday Night Lights, Spin City), Tim Daly (Wings, Private Practice), Christopher Gorham (Harper's Island, Ugly Betty), Lauren Graham (Parenthood, Gilmore Girls), Peter Krause (Parenthood, The Truman Show), Donal Logue (Terriers, Blade), Joe Mantegna (Criminal Minds, The Godfather: Part III), Mary McDonnell (Battlestar Galactica, Donnie Darko), Alyssa Milano (Charmed, Melrose Place), Mark Moses (Mad Men, Desperate Housewives), Craig T. Nelson (Parenthood, Coach), Lorraine Toussaint (The Soloist, Saving Grace), Brian J. White (Stomp the Yard, Daddy's Little Girls).
Tickets are $250 for general admission and $1,000 for VIP seats that include a special pre-show reception with the cast. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. for a silent auction featuring a selection of contemporary artworks curated by Bruce Helander. The performance begins at 7:30 p.m. and the evening concludes with a dessert reception for all guests.

I have a wonder woman and friend with a 6 year old son with autism. She sacxrafices a great deal to make his life as pleasant and fulfilling as possible as a single mother. She is afraid of long term relationships because she doesn't want to risk her sons' happiness. All of us around her love and admire her and her children. The loniliness and isolation she feels scares me as someone who loves her. I wish that there were more ways to help and build bridges to life for her and her son.
October 7, 2010 at 6:45 pm
I smiled when I read about your son's uninhibited dancing. What is it about autistic kids and their love of bustin' a move? My son will dance anywhere he can find the space: the living room, church, Petsmart …
But it's terrifying to think of our kids out there as autistic adults and all the scenarios we haven't prepared them for. There are so many social situations for which they can (hopefully) memorize the appropriate response. But we can't think of everything; we can't write a social story about everything they'll face for the rest of their lives.
I, too, think Parenthood has done a wonderful job of portraying the real impact of autism on a family. We don't miss a single episode :-)

Speaking to reporters at the State Department, Kerry said in his first public comments on the matter since taking office last week that Iran knows full well what it needs to do to prove its nuclear intentions are peaceful as it claims.
If it does, Kerry said the international community is prepared to respond positively. If not, he said Iran will only face increased international isolation. He reminded the Iranian leadership that President Barack Obama has taken no options off the table, including military force, to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.
"We are prepared to let diplomacy be the victor in this confrontation over their nuclear program," Kerry said after meeting with Canadian Foreign Minister John Baird. "The president has made it clear that he is prepared to talk about a peaceful nuclear program."
Kerry also said: "Iran has a choice: they have to prove to the world that it is peaceful and we are prepared to sit responsibly and negotiate how they can do that and how we can all be satisfied."
His comments came ahead of a meeting between Iran and senior officials from the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council and Germany. That meeting is set for Feb. 26 in Kazakhstan.
Kerry also said that Iran's recent revelation that it would vastly increase its pace of uranium enrichment, which can make both reactor fuel and the fissile core of warheads, is "concerning" and "disturbing."
"The president has made it clear that his preference is to have a diplomatic solution, but if he cannot get there, he is prepared to do whatever is necessary to make certain that Iran does not have a nuclear weapon," he said.

CHARLESTON - It's too early to tell what impact the firing of the state superintendent of schools will have on county systems, the superintendent in Wood County said.
The West Virginia Board of Education fired State Superintendent Jorea Marple on Thursday while the two board members who opposed the decision said they will resign at the end of the year.
Wood County Schools Superintendent Pat Law said he was surprised by the news. Law was with a group touring schools in Charleston and Huntington when news of Marple's termination was first reported.
"County school systems depend a lot on direction from the state Department of Education. Marple's departure will leave a void there," he said.
Law said the state department has seen a fair amount of turnover in recent years, and the loss of two "longtime board members" also would have an impact.
For Wood County Schools, however, the immediate effects may be negligible, he said.
"It's really too early to determine any local effect," Law said. "We will certainly continue with the direction we've been going with our programs and projects."
The board voted 5-2 to terminate Marple's contract, with members Jenny Phillips and Priscilla Haden opposing the decision, Department of Education spokeswoman Liza Cordeiro said. Phillips' and Haden's resignations are effective Dec. 31.
The board believes the public school system needs a new direction, board President Wade Linger said in a statement.
"Dr. Marple's concern for and commitment to West Virginia's school children is well known. She has served them with distinction, and we appreciate her public service. However, the West Virginia Board of Education believes this is a time for a change in direction. As such, we think it is important for new leadership," Linger said.
Marple said in a telephone interview that she was surprised by the decision.
"I had received only words of encouragement," she said.
She said she had tried as superintendent to identify issues, including ways to fund schools.
"My heart, my soul and my being are with teachers and children, and I hope to continue to be an advocate for meeting the needs of the children," she said.
House Education Chair Mary Poling said she was shocked at word of Marple's firing. The Barbour County Democrat credited Marple for addressing curriculum standards and overseeing a new way to measure student performance while responding to the governor's call to trim the state budget.
"I think she was doing a good job," said Poling, a retired educator. "I found no problems with her work... I would like to know why they did that, and know of no reason why they would."
Marple's firing comes as the Legislature prepares to tackle the state's sprawling education system.
"The kids, the teachers and service personnel across the state will feel the effects at a time when we can ill afford it," Lee said.
A recent wide-ranging audit of West Virginia's public schools describes a low-performing education system rigidly controlled by a state-level bureaucracy and a thick stack of policy-directing laws.
West Virginia Education Association President Dale Lee also was surprised the firing of Marple, whom he called a strong advocate for students, teachers and service professional. He also said he was appalled by the manner in which the board handled her firing, without warning.
"Dr. Marple has done a great job in her short tenure as superintendent," Lee said. "It was completely out of the blue to me. Dr. Marple is widely respected, not only by her peers but by education employees around the state."
Marple had served as the state's schools chief since March 1, 2011, and previously served as deputy superintendent. Her husband is Attorney General Darrell McGraw, who lost a bid for a sixth term in the Nov. 6 general election.

Nicholls men hoops team to play 'Bracketbuster' game
Published: Monday, February 4, 2013 at 7:33 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, February 4, 2013 at 7:33 p.m.
FRISCO, Texas. – The Nicholls State University men's basketball team has been selected to play the Texas-San Antonio Roadrunners of the Western Athletic Conference on Feb. 23 in San Antonio, the Southland Conference announced today in conjunction with the release of the BracketBuster weekend games.
The non-conference matchup with the Roadrunners was not selected among the 13 televised games ESPN will be airing during the event, as the time of the game is still to be determined.
The tilt against the Roadrunners later this month renews the longstanding conference rivalry the two teams once shared, as UTSA left the Southland Conference last season to join the WAC in all sports. UTSA will spend just this season in the league before becoming a full member of Conference USA beginning in July.
Nicholls will return to conference play against Southeastern Louisiana at 2 p.m. Saturday in Thibodaux.

For the moment, we've given up making our almost 6 year old son leave his favorite blanket at home. We are, however, still working on the thumb sucking and eating habits!
July 20, 2010 at 10:55 am
He sounds a bit like Linus, the wisest and noblest of all the Peanuts. Always a hero of mine growing up ;)

Great Picture… Very handsome boys! THANK YOU for sharing :-)
Max loved wearing a winnie the pooh full body costume (sized for 18 mos.) until he was 3 1/2… On the upside I definetly got my monies worth!
July 24, 2010 at 10:04 am
My daughter wore "Dorothy shoes" from 18m until she was 8 ! We were buying them 2 or 3 sizes at a time to avoid the challenges that occurred when she outgrew a pair. Solid color 2 piece PJs are still OK even for middle-school, but the "Halloween" outfits had to stay home after kindergarten -regardless of the size of the meltdown.
July 20, 2010 at 10:16 am
My son is the same way. We finally succeeded at getting him to drop the warm clothes for the summer but it wasn't easy. We kept pointing out that other kids were wearing shorts and that he would sweat a lot more in his sweatshirts and sweats. He finally agreed BUT still wears the sweats at night. He also likes to wear the craziest things while using his imagination. He does so many silly things and I watch him in awe because he is completely in his own world and does not notice anyone around him or watching him. He carries on these conversations with himself to. He does enjoy doing crafts so we try to do a lot of those. Recently we had our Vacation Bible School at church and Logan had some problems doing the games, lessons but when craft time was near he got really happy and excited. He also loves to sing and dance so we encourage those things. Our theme at VBS was backstage with the bible and the go fish guys. The kids all got CD's of the songs they sung at the end of VBS and they wear them out! Logan LOVES music so this is a great way to learn about our lord and enjoy himself. The Cd's are playing every time we go in the car to. Logan keeps saying "turn it up mom" "we want everyone to hear that we love Jesus". So cute! Your book has really helped me in knowing I am not alone! We have passed the book around to family and it helped them to understand Logan a little better. He has a lot in common with your son. It is wonderful that Andy is so good with him! My daughter tries to help Logan but he don't let her very often. I always say that Logan having Autism has brought us closer and has taught my other 2 children so much. They don't tease or pick on other kids for being different b/c they know how it makes Logan feel when he is teased. You are an inspiration to so many. Thank you for sharing your stories!!
July 21, 2010 at 6:08 pm
My 17 year od son likes to dress-up, I'm pleased with him, he always liked dressing like a little preacher man, but he gets made fun of because he is not sloppy as others, the good part is he will probably succeed in getting a job. But, he wears flannel pj to sleep, I guess he gets cold at night. But he has come a long way in his social skills, it is almost better that he doesn't care what other people think, we are probably lucky. As you all are aware, it is a long hard, fight to get to where we are now. But, he makes the best of things, for the most part.
July 20, 2010 at 10:17 am
LOL! Thanks, a laugh is what we need sometimes! AND the ability to see the humor in things is a wonderful gift, and great at getting rid of frustration too! Some girl will love his "uniqueness", same for my Son someday too.
July 20, 2010 at 10:35 am
I love the story- esp. how he was encouraged by the wierd clothes and wigs. My daughter has no sense of temperature as it relates to clothing. Even though it's 93 degrees out, she'll want to wear fleece footies to bed and really not understand why she can't.
July 20, 2010 at 10:44 am
I love this story! Thanks for the laugh!
July 20, 2010 at 10:50 am
Love it, just love it….Sean is only 7, so I can only imagine the challenges we'll face in the teen and young adult years…..Sean loves plaid and his pajamas…it's either that or completely naked :)
July 20, 2010 at 10:51 am
I have a son with ASD named Matthew too :) Yours is very handsome, I love your humor about it all. My son is only 6 and I can only dream of the fun we'll have :) Tell me, how did you get/find a social coach??!!!
July 20, 2010 at 9:36 pm
Hi Laurie: Matthew has been going to a terrific psychologist who specializes in social skills training-she recommended someone.
I was hoping to find a guy, but the woman that Matthew's psychologist recommended is great-she really "get's it."
July 20, 2010 at 10:52 am
Thank you for sharing.. My zack does the same thing hot as heck outside but he always want to wear his plaid long sleeve shirts..
July 20, 2010 at 10:53 am
My 6 yr old son (who insists on wearing his hair in a close crop) has taken to wearing a gag gift I bought for my mother-in-law– a red bandanna with Willie Nelson braids attached to it. He wears them everywhere and won't go out without "fixing" his hair. I figure "He's 6 – who cares?" and let him do wear them.
July 20, 2010 at 10:59 am
I have gone through the same thing with my youngest son. All of a sudden during the heat of summer he will pull out 'too small' jeans socks and a long sleeved shirt, or his winter pajamas. It's all about them wanting to control something in their world. He tells me, "Everyone's not into fashion like you mom!" That's for sure!
July 20, 2010 at 11:12 am
My son Devin with Autism is also 24 I learned to choose my battles a long time ago Devin has not worn a long pair of pants in over 10 years so I quit buying them even last winter here in Va when we had 42+ inches of snow Devin wore his usual blue shorts with a wife beater, pink shirt, purple shirt, flannel shirt and a leather coat. to "school" every day. Hey as long as he is happy my world is happy.
July 20, 2010 at 11:17 am
Thanks for sharing. As a mom of 3 teen boys on the spectrum, I learned very eary on to make a "date" with each boys' closet at the change of every season. If it's not there they won't wear it. When my oldest (now 18)was younger, he would only wear long pants in the summer, till I made every pair cut offs! He got used to it and now wears shorts when approprate. It's all fun, we need this kind of comedy to keep us laughing!
July 20, 2010 at 11:20 am
My aspie daughter, Jessa, is almost 18 and getting ready to leave for college in a fee weeks. For this " oh so dramatic " child, everything she wears is a costume. We have a plethora of wigs and petticoats. At least I can justify it by noting that she is a musical theatre major. Shakespeare was right. All the world is a stage. I give her the latitude to express her mood in her daily costume. It is yet to be seen how well this will go over on a Midwest college campus.
July 30, 2010 at 7:18 pm
Karin – my daughter is an aspie too. The clothing! She is 8 now – it's good and a little scary to know that this is not going to change. I love her very unique sense of style … I just worry about her getting picked on in a couple of years.
July 20, 2010 at 11:46 am
lol! this story was hilarious, it's nice to light up all the charming and funny things our kids do =]
July 20, 2010 at 12:06 pm
Just getting our 7 year old to wear cloths in the summer has been a challenge! We found that he likes comfy basketball shorts, and tee's, and that he is a little vain about looking cute, so when we want him to wear something we exaggerate how "cute" he looks. We still though CANNOT keep him clothed near water. The cloths comes off, and he heads for the water.
July 23, 2010 at 4:30 pm
hi my name is lorena i also have a 7 yr old with autisim he does not like to wear clothes he runa around in his boxers all day unless we go out. but as soon as we get out of the car he starts taking his shirt off..
July 20, 2010 at 1:12 pm
I have lost so very many clothing battles!! My 23 year old son does not like pants that touch his shoes and he wears his belt like he wants to cut himself in two. So he looks like a mighty suave guy when he goes out. He does have a girlfriend that does not seem to mind. I guess I shouldn't!
July 20, 2010 at 5:06 pm

My four year old recently recieved a shirt with buttons on it that look like car tires, he want's to wear it every day and night i had a huge job getting him to take it off to wash it and he also wants to go nude when near water when we fixed the nude at the beach and pool thing he now want's to wear swim trunks in the bath tub, lol no harm done i guess, and trunks in the tub are better then nude in public.
July 20, 2010 at 8:22 pm
I take the out of season clothes and put them in the attic so he can't wear flannel in August.
It is the only way to get around the clothing fight !
July 20, 2010 at 8:44 pm
Stories like this make my heart glow. My brother is 17 and has been diagnosed with autism and no matter what the event or weather will wear a football jersey if he can get away it.
July 21, 2010 at 8:11 pm
I love this story. My son Jack is not as high functioning but we are sure he picks wacky outfits on purpose. For a while he insisted on wearing his younger brother's clothes which were skin tight. I love your other son's perception too. My kids are often one step ahead of me in "getting" the whole thing.
July 22, 2010 at 11:38 am
My 11 year old wears jeans and long sleeve t-s all year round. When he was about 3 or so, he'd wear winter boots in the summer. Some school workers were offended by it, but I didn't care. We have great neighbors that have kids his age and the moms goal last year was to get him to wear shorts. She was successful, once or twice. This year, it was getting him in the pool. Once again, she was successful, many times over.
He likes the pants too tight and small (floods), shirts that fit tight/small – especially button downs, and usually has a hoodie of some sort on. The school doesn't enforce the no jacket rule with him and his friend has enjoyed that benefit as well. He was kicked out of catechism for not taking his coat off. I had to find another church for him to make first communion. They said it was disrespectful.
He did start a trend with wearing clip on ties with his long sleeve t-s and button downs. He insisted on doing that for the first day of school, he wanted to have a good first impression. He continued to do that the rest of the year. A lunch mom stopped me and mentioned him and the tie. I was like, oh no, what is she going to say, but she said other boys are now wearing them. She thought that was pretty funny.
When he does wear a t-shirt, it's usually multiple t-shirts. The joke has become how many layers is Vinnie wearing. As long as he's in regular ed classes and getting A's and B's and going along with the program, I really don't care anymore.
July 23, 2010 at 4:33 pm
my son jacob is 7 yrs he does not like to wear anything with buttons.also his shirts have tags on them they have to come off.
July 23, 2010 at 12:09 pm
I have 3 children with Aspergers……trust me, clothing is an issue, so his hair,,, my 7yr old son has to wear the same style, no collars, short sleeve, same brand and feel….my 10 yr old daughter pulls and screams about everything ! And my 13 yr old son insists on wearing the exact same tshirt and jeans every day, not even the same outfit look alike, the exact same outfit. Don't know what we are gonna do soon, they r wearing out….
July 23, 2010 at 12:56 pm
I am have my great grandchildren to raise. Christopher has been disgnosed with anxiety, and possible asbergers. He has to have things the same all of the time. If you bring up anything different for that day, he is so upset. We have learned to tell him in advance that we are going swimming, or do some other activity. He also is a tough one with clothes. He never seem to care if they are on right,the pants might be rolled up along waist, underwearing hanging out and he is happy. Whenever we try a button up shirt, that is a no. Whenever we try pants that have a button, that is a no. He is 5 years old and the apple of my eye.
July 23, 2010 at 4:27 pm
My son is very hyper touch sensitive. This dictates many of his clothing choices. The plastic thread used in many kids clothing felt terrible to him, the ridge in the toe of the socks was irritating. Is not always just social skills but some empathy on our part that is needed. How would you feel wearing clothing that was constantly irritating? Work with them to find comfortable clothing and then just buy what they feel comfortable in even if it is the same thing every day. The child who wants to wear the same outfit may have issues with odors. Try washing the new clothes with the old clothes. Try putting the new clothes in unwashed sheets so they smell like his.
July 23, 2010 at 4:54 pm
Don't you just love their innocence?
When my son was a teenager he cut his own hair. It was awful. He thought that no one noticed all those bald patches throughout his entire head.
He looked so embarrassed, but he didn't say a word. My husband took him aside and showed him how to do it properly.
When he was a little older he walked outside in a tie-dyed shirt. The boys his aged looked at him and laughed. I took a look at it myself and realized that he was indeed too old for the type of shirt that he was wearing. He didn't notice the boys laughing.
It reminded me that although, I see him as a younger man… he is now grown up.

I have a Aspie son 15 going into 9th grade. It was a challenge at one time to do "the dance" with his clothing, he didn't like tags, buttons, zip pants etc.. Fortunately he has grown out of most of that. Now the challenge is buying trendy clothes so he will blend in the crowd and not get teased, but "mom's don't know what's cool". There is a battle and at times he doesn't always have the "right" look but no one is perfect. Mom's out there, it does get better with a slow shift out of their comfort zone, whether it's clothing or routine/habits. Blessings!

The mall? Well, I guess that green and orange spikes may give a better appreciation of the wigs. 'course I have not been much in malls of late. My son does not like large/noisy stores or malls.
July 27, 2010 at 11:58 pm
Clothing? I can barely keep my son dressed. Every time I turn around he is streaking through the house, outside, wherever. Fortunately, he is only five, but I have no idea what we'll do if we can't correct this…and soon!

My 8 year old will NOT wear clothes at home-PERIOD! The second he comes home from school, he strips. So naturally, his two younger brothers do the same thing. I have got the two little ones to wear clothes on the porch now, thank goodness.
My Asperger's guy is 20 and has his standard outfit of a maroon t-shirt and black jeans. Now that he has a significant other, he shares clothes and wears some shorts and other tees here and there. Yay!

My son just turned 20. When he was young dressing him was not a hugh problem. As he got older and into his teens he cared less and less about how he looked. Within the past year he has become obsessed with Anime. Now he orders costumes and wigs (usually bright blue, yellow or red) and wears them to Anime conventions. It has become his "thing". We support his hobby, even buy the expensive costumes, but are concerned he will start wearing them as his everyday clothes. He does not seemed concerned what other think…

CORPUS CHRISTI – The Texas A&M – Corpus Christi men's basketball team has signed William Nelson (Acadiana, La./Hutchinson CC) to a National Letter of Intent, head coach Willis Wilson announced today. Nelson is a 6-foot-7, 215-pound small forward who will have two years of eligibility remaining when he joins the Islanders in the fall of 2012.
"William is a long, athletic wing that has an impressive skill set," Wilson said. "He is a great inside-outside combination and is quick for his size, which will make him a tough guy to match up with. He's also a high-character young man who embodies the kind of player we want in our program going forward."
Nelson averaged 12.6 points and 6.8 rebounds last year for Hutchinson, leading the team on the glass and finishing second on the Dragons in scoring. He shot 45.2 percent from the field and hit 35-of-113 of his three-pointers, making him one of the top inside-outside threats in the Jayhawk Conference. He added 28 steals and 33 assists on the year and was the 90th-ranked junior college player in the nation, according to JuCoRecruiting.com.
His finest performance came against Allen Community College in November 2010, when Nelson dropped 28 points. He finished the year with four 20-point contests and five double-doubles. He had season highs of 13 rebounds and three blocked shots against Independence, three steals against Northwest-Shoals and three assists against Cloud County.
In 2009-10, Nelson played for Baton Rouge Community College, where his best game saw him score 38 points in a 94-82 win over Southwest Mississippi Community College. He averaged 20 points and nine rebounds on the season for the Bears, helping them to a 17-10 record as a freshman. He is currently completing requirements for his associate's degree at Dodge City Community College.
Nelson played his high school basketball for Port Allen under Kirby Loupe. He helped the team to a 34-4 record in the 2007-08 season, as the team advanced to the fourth round of the state playoffs. In 2006-07, the team went 26-8 and moved on to the second round of the postseason.
Nelson also played club basketball with the Texas Ambassadors, where he played alongside current Islanders freshman Jake Kocher.

Boehner Visits Afghanistan as Part of Trip Focused on National Security
House Speaker John Boehner (R., Ohio) and a group of senior House Republicans visited Afghanistan Sunday and Monday to assess the country's political progress during its presidential elections.
On the two-day trip, Mr. Boehner and seven other House Republicans met with U.S. troops stationed in Afghanistan, U.S. Ambassador James Cunningham and U.S. Marine Corps Gen. Joseph Dunford, the commander of coalition forces in Afghanistan, according to a statement from Mr. Boehner's office.
"The Afghans are poised to elect a new government for the first time in their history," Mr. Boehner said in a statement Monday. "We must honor the sacrifices of the Americans and Afghans who have given so much to reach this point and continue our work together."
A partial vote count Afghanistan's election commission released Sunday suggested that no candidate will have gained an outright majority in the April 5 presidential race, likely requiring a second round. The runoff will probably be held in late May or early June, election officials said.
If successfully concluded, the election would mark the first democratic transition of power in Afghanistan's bloody history.
The lawmakers plan to make other stops, which weren't disclosed, on a trip focused on national security.
Joining Mr. Boehner on the trip to Afghanistan were House Education and Workforce Committee Chairman John Kline (R., Minn.), Ways and Means Committee Chairman Dave Camp (R., Mich.), Natural Resources Committee Chairman Doc Hastings (R., Wash.) and GOP Reps. Tom Latham of Iowa, Devin Nunes of California, Greg Walden of Oregon and Steve Womack of Arkansas.
The group conveyed a message that the House wants to keep the right level of troops in Afghanistan, according to Mr. Boehner's office.

SALT LAKE CITY -- So much for Stanford's conference road woes.
The Cardinal put together a scintillating performance in all phases to pick up an 87-56 victory over Utah in front of 7,769 fans at the Huntsman Center on Sunday night. Stanford opened the game on a 12-2 run and then cruised to its first conference road win of the season.
The Cardinal (12-8, 3-4 Pac-12), after a slow start against Colorado in a loss Thursday, wanted to set the tone early against the Utes (9-11, 1-7), and Stanford played with a sense of urgency from the opening tip.
"We wanted to throw the first punch," said Stanford guard Chasson Randle, who had 17 points, eight rebounds, three steals and three assists. "We didn't do that in Colorado, and we suffered the consequences. Tonight we wanted to throw the first punch, and it worked out for us."
Stanford recorded its highest point total and largest margin of victory this season.
John Gage scored a career-high 19 points to pace the Cardinal offense. He shot 4 for 4 from 3-point range and credited his teammates for his open looks at the basket.
"They were the ones getting me open shots," Gage said. "They were the ones passing me the ball, and tonight they found me a lot, and I was able to capitalize."
Cardinal coach Johnny Dawkins said Gage deserved praise as well.
"He's a terrific shooter, and he's only gotten better over the years," Dawkins said. "I'm really proud of how hard he's worked to improve his game."
Stanford entered Sunday's game as the worst shooting team in the Pac-12, making just 40 percent of its shots. The Cardinal shot 50 percent against Utah, including 15-of-27 shooting in the second half. Stanford shot 60 percent from 3-point range, up from a season percentage of 30.5.
"We're a bunch of confident shooters," Gage said. "I don't care what the numbers say."
Dwight Powell had 11 points, nine rebounds and five assists, and Josh Huestis, displaying a silky smooth jumper, had 13 points and seven rebounds. Overall, Stanford dominated the boards with a 43-27 rebounding advantage.
Dawkins emptied his bench after Gage's fourth 3-pointer of the game put Stanford up 76-42.

CHAR-KOOSTA PUBLISHED tf CONFEDERATED SALI5H AND KOOTENAI TRIBES, FLATHEAD AGENCY, MONT. Vol. 4 — No. 5_September - October, 1960 Morigeaux Writes of FPC License 5 This is the second article of the history pertinent to the tribe of the Tribal power site known as F. P. C. License No. 5 Kerr Dam, Montana. It has always been the opinion of Indian Tribes, as well as it being my opinion that the Indian Bureau was established by Congress to guarantee protection to Indian Treaty Tribes in the U. S. It is my opinion, also the opinion of other Indian members of this tribe, that this protecSion by the Bureau to this tribe in the negotiations for license to Rocky Mountain Power Company that the tribe did not necessarily receive protection that they should have from the Bureau in negotiating this 50 year lease. The tribe was not incorporated in 1930. but we did incorporate, under the act of ¿934, and never had a voice in any negotiations to reguiate the uses *>t our property or did we have the power to prevent disposition of our assets until we were incorporated. In the Flathead River Power Development Docket, compiled in 1930, commonly known as the Scattergood Report because Mr. Scattergood was the Indian Commissioner at that time. He sat in on ithe Field Hearing that lasted 7 or 8 days jhcre on the Flathead Indian Reservation in 1930. There were several departments and commissions which took part in the hearings—such as the Army Engnieers, Bureau of Reclamation, Federal Power Commission staff, a representative of the Department of the Interior and staff, and also a representative of the Rocky Mountain Company, also Montana Power Company who was then a subsidiary of Montana Power Company. As the hearings progressed there was a considerable amount of field work that was reported for the benefit of the Federal Power Commission—things such as horse power-installed, height of dam, tunnels, substation, size and capacity of each generator, regulation of the reservoir, which in this project is Flathead Lake. It appeared in the early negotiations that there were only two interests to satisfy—the tribe and Montana Power Company. The tribe is sole owner of the site plus the fact that the tribe owns the south one half of Flathead Lake, and Indian tribes can exploit river and lake beds to their highest and best use including power development as provided for under Section 10E of the Federal Water Power Act of 1920. The original license authorized two 56,000 K.W. generators which would have to have a good return on their investment over a period of years. The Scattergood Report, will show that the power company could have paid the tribe $3.41 per installed horse power abased on the 1927 low water year as 'rental to the tribe for the site. This would make a payment of $525,140.00 per year as rental to the tribe for the site. This would make a payment of $525,140.00 per year for two generators or 150,000 horse power out of the orginal 1930 li- cense. This would have been the payment received by the tribe if there was not an Irrigation Project claiming interests in the site. That payment would have made a good business proposition for the tribe as rental of the tribal site; but the payment based on horse power was not used, as it appeared that as long as the project was constructed in the state of Montana, the public was entitled to a share in the project returns. As I have stated earlier, the tribe never had a voice in the negotiations of 1930, so we could not voice our opiniin in opposing the split that the public received from the tribe's $3.41 per installed H.P. It would now appear that as long as the Bureau would allow the public to receive one half of the tribe's share, the tribe should still receive $1.70V6 per installed horse power which would total $262,570.00 per year for the site. But the alarming facts are that there were still other interests that claimed rights in the site. There was the special public which composed the people in the Flathead Irrigation Project who claimed equitable rights due to the construction of the Newell Tunnel that was started but never finished when the Power company received the license for the site, the power company paid $111,000.00 to the benefit of the Irrigation Project for the annual construction. This should had in the tribal site. But the fact was have been payment in full for all interests that the Flahead Irrigation Project received as much as the tribe did from the tribal site. The Bureau of Indian Affairs administered the Flathead Irrigation Project and allowed the Federal Power Commission to incorporate this into the original license—a block of power comprising 15000 horse power at the expense of the Flathead Tribe. In the April and May issues of Char% Koosta just prior to this issue. I promised the readers that I would give them the facts on how the tribe received 25 per cent rental benefits from this tribal site that we own 100 per cent of. Now take the Montana Power Company, the licensee of the project, they must have a fair return on their investment. It was then calculated that if the tribe received $3.41 per installed horse power, the power company would still make a good profit from the power site. Now, there were four interests in the site—they were the tribe, Montana Power Company, the public of the state of Montana, and the special public comprising the people in the Irrigation Project. The fact was the tribe's annual rental which is now $175,000.00 for the site, not the $525,140.00 that was originally calculated with all of the Federal Agencies and Commissions that took part in figuring out what we should have received. The three interests other than the power company received equal benefits. Each Christmas Tree Cutting Rules Same as Last Year The Forestry Branch reports that Christmas tree cutting will be carried on the same as in the past—no areas will be closed. The opening date for cutting is tentatively set for October 10> The cutting and buyer permits were available during the weelc of October 3 to 7 inclusive. This year the Tribal Council set a minimum of $2.00 a bale to buyers, $.60 per bale for stumpage and $20.00 for each buyer's permit. There will be extra Christmas tree inspectors on this year. The men will be appointed by the Forestry Department officials and the men appointed will probably be men who previously worked for the Forestry Department. Jubilee Mass For Fr. Taelman By Walter McDonald On September 2?th a Holy Jubilee Mass was celebrated for Father Louis Taelman, S. J. of St. Ignatius commemorating a Jubilee in thanksgiving to God for his 75 years in the Society of Jesus, 1885 - 1960. To many of us and especially the full blood Indians, words cannot express the appreciation for the spiritual service and guidance that the very Reverend Father Taelman has given us. We offer our prayers as a conribu-tion to the faithful man who went through so many years to work as an aspostle of God that we may achieve our successful goal. Harry L. Bonser Passes Away (Editor's Note: Those who were acquaint, with Harry Bonser will recall that he played baseball years ago on the Flathead. In later years Harry displayed his musical talent by teaching music throughout the reservation. Although Mr. Bonser was not a Flathead, we share our sympathy with his survivors. This clipping was sent to your editor by his daughter, Mildred B. Ger-ber, who is a member of the Flathead tribe and lives at Pine Ridge, South Dakota.) Harry Houston Bonser passed away of a heart atack at his home in Sacramento, Calif., on August 13, 1960. He was born at Rosebul, So. Dak., in Dec. 1896 and attended Pipestone, Minn., Indian school. Attending Carlisle, Penn., high school through the years of its greatest fame, 1910 to 1914, Mr Bonser played in the band and took a major course in music under Claude Maxwell Stuffer, head of that department. As a band member he saw most of the Eastern states, while accompanying the noted Carlisle football eleven, featuring Jim Thorpe, who was a classmate. company received equal benefits. Each received $1,132/3 per horse power. I will give you readers more facts about Kerr Dam history in the next issue of Char-Koosta. E. W. Morigeau, Yours Sincerely, Chairman of the Tribal Council

Join editors F. Terry Hambrecht, M.D. and Terry Reimer on First Saturday for a book signing of Caleb Dorsey Baer: Frederick, Maryland's Confederate Surgeon the newest NMCWM Press publication.
The diary and letters of Dr. Baer open a window into a little-known aspect of the American Civil War. Caleb was born in Maryland and served in Missouri, both of which were border states with divided loyalties. Caleb served initially with the Missouri State Guard, a pro-Confederate force, and later with Confederate States Army units from Missouri, but his family members in Frederick County, Maryland, were staunch Union supporters. The split within the family created by this difference of opinion was not overcome before Caleb's death in 1863. These never-before-published documents show a human side to the Civil War, including the toll the war took on families, magnified through the always-changing fortunes of the border states.
The book is 240 pages in length and retails at the Museum Dispensary Store for $17.95.

Delighted that our lads delivered what I asked Santa for! 9pts from 3 games to take us in to 3rd place and start of 2013 with a bang.
Not only that, but to top off a brilliant New Year's Day the Goons could only draw at St Mary's - and but for an own goal by the Saints were lucky to get their 1pt, if reports of their game are to be believed.
Life is currently good in the blue half of North London :-)
Happy New Year folks.

Tallahassee, Florida- August 25, 2012
The Florida Highway Patrol advises motorist to be cautious as Tropical Storm Isaac moves toward Florida. Motorists are advised to monitor the progress of Isaac and listen for any bulletins from county emergency management centers.
The Florida Highway Patrol urges drivers to follow safety tips that can save lives:
Stay put. – Avoid driving in heavy storms, and stay in a safe place after the storm. Be prepared to remain where you are for an extended period. Often, injuries and deaths occur in the aftermath of storms. Sightseers impeding roadways cause obstacles for emergency personnel responding to those in need.
Slow down. – Roadways remain slick after storm so if you have to drive, decrease your speed to avoid hydroplaning.
Be cautious of high winds. – Windy conditions adversely affect all vehicles, particularly high profile vehicles, such as buses and trucks, as well as motorcycles. Gusty wind makes driving difficult, especially when it is rapidly changing speed and direction.
Pay attention. – You may come up on an intersection that is no longer controlled by a traffic control device. If a law enforcement officer is directing traffic, follow his directions. Otherwise, treat the intersection as you would treat an intersection governed by a four-way Stop sign.
For real-time traffic and road condition reports, as well as maps and additional safety tips, FHP encourages motorists to visit www.flhsmv.gov/fhp/. Florida drivers also can call 511 on their cell phone or visit http://fl511.com/ for up-to-the-minute updates on traffic congestion, road construction, lane closures, severe weather and travel delays on interstates and major highways.
The Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles provides highway safety and security through excellence in service, education and enforcement. The Department is leading the way to a safer Florida through the efficient and professional execution of its core mission: the issuance of driver licenses, vehicle tags and titles and operation of the Florida Highway Patrol. To learn more about DHSMV and the services offered, visit www.flhsmv.gov or follow us on Twitter @FDHSMV. You can find us on Facebook, too.

Without a doubt, Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the greatest players in the world. The Portuguese superstar had an incredibly impressive season for Real Madrid in 2011-12 and looks to build upon that this year. The man known as CR7 shows no sign of letting up any time soon!
Cheer Los Blancos whether or not you're in Santiago Bernabeu with this official jersey. This is the jersey Real Madrid will wear during some UEFA Champions League play.
This green color is rarely seen on the legendary club (this is only second time in the club's history - 1965 was the last time the club wore green). Pinstripes add a retro look.

A little about me, I was born in Duluth. My Grandpa Irv got me started in radio showing me reel to reel and I used to make shows with my sister for him to listen to. That's when the bug hit me. I wanted to talk on the radio. He used to play old broadcasts of Philadelphia Radio for me to listen to. I started in radio in 1996 doing overnights and eventually moved up to mornings. I enjoy music, both listening and writing it. My Favorite artists are Van Halen, Michael W. Smith, Def Leppard, Evanescense, Garth Brooks, Gary Allan, Sara Evans, Kellie Pickler, The Beatles.....ok, I could go on and on here, basically, I like good music no matter what it is. My favorite movies are, 'The Crow', 'Forrest Gump', 'Stealing Home', and 'Nightmare Before Christmas'. My favorite color is Black; my fav food is mac and cheese with turkey burger in it. I like anything paranormal, got a story? Send it to me.

i am 13yrs. old, 105lbs. and i need a few more moves to help me get into the lane a little more.
Try to make a lot of cuts to the basket. Also wen u have the ball, see if there is anyone behind your defender for help because if there isnt you can make a quick move and drive to the basket and hopefully score or get fouled
first at ur size and weight i think u should work on ur speed and get quicker with that comes that first step which has to b quick to get by ur defender if the lane is open take it if not develop a mid range jumper.
If you are not faster than your defender it will be very hard to drive past him. Try pump faking and then driving.
I am small. yet i can drive. I am slow. yet i can drive. i am a pointgaurd. yet i can drive. What ya need 2 do is be confident and strengthen ur core and overall bodystrenght. u need to strategize as well

It is starting to seem from the various reports that something is making the PMS crash after a certain amount of time, wether it are MKV files or just AVI's.
Strange that this happened after going to a stable (which should only solve more bugs instead of making them pop up).
Would be very nice if we can get to the bottom of this to release a 1.50.1 hot fix
