Wound healing and localized infection is being studied in animal models. The use of optical imaging of infections caused by genetically-engineered bioluminescent microbes allows testing of antimicrobial therapies in real time.
Our expertise in this area has allowed us to collaborate with a company that prepared a chitosan acetate bandage initially as a hemostatic dressing (HemCon). We were able to show that it as highly effective against infections in wounds and burns, could be advantageously combined with nanocrystalline silver and accelerated wound healing in both infected and uninfected wounds. A recent study looked at gene expression array analysis in mouse models of burns.
We have collaborated with several additional investigators using our expertise of in vivo bioluminescence monitoring of infections in small animal models.
A recent project is looking at similar studies using Hydrofera Blue and antimicrobial dressing containing methylene blue and gentian violet.

What to eat: That is the question for seasonal allergy sufferers
By Catharine L. Kaufman
This time of year 1 in every 5 of us is clobbered with itchy eyes, a runny nose, nasal congestion, a scratchy gullet, and serial sneezing – gazuntite!
Seasonal allergies, aka hay fever or rhinitis (roughly translated from the Latin for "rhinoceros nose") is caused by fraternizing with assorted pollens from birch tree and grass to ragweed and alder that come out full boar in the spring. These pesky allergies can be lessened by amping up certain foods and cutting out others. Here's a blow by blow on what to eat and what to delete to get through this blooming season.
The Big Buzz
Allergy gurus recommend eating locally-sourced honey (preferably organic) to keep seasonal symptoms at bay. Multi-tasking pollen both triggers seasonal allergies and is made into honey by bees. By some weird and wonderful reason, when local honey is ingested it seems to put the skids on symptoms for many sufferers.
Since this close-to-home elixir contains the same pollen spores as the flowering plants and grasses that caused the very allergic reaction to the hay fever sufferer, the current theory explains that it works like a homeopathic vaccination, producing antibodies to fend off the invader. Of course, honey is taboo for young children, whose immature immune systems cannot fend off the bacteria, making them vulnerable to infant botulism.
Land of Milk and Mucous
According to the folks at the venerable Mayo Clinic, "while drinking milk does not cause your body to make more phlegm (mucous), it may make phlegm thicker and more irritating to your throat than it would normally be."
So when allergy symptoms strike, go easy on the yoghurt and pizza. And if eggs also aggravate your allergies, standing advice, as always – moderation.
Your Stinky Friend
Garlic by any other name (such as "Stinky Rose") is just as fabulous a shield against viruses, bacteria, inflammation, hypertension (it's a natural blood-thinner), and even the occasional vampire. Raw garlic is loaded with allicin, a potent sulfur compound with immune boosting properties that has also been linked to warding off seasonal allergy symptoms.
ABCs on Vitamins B and C
Studies have shown that taking C and B vitamins, particularly B-12, may lessen hay fever symptoms by lightening up stress and boosting the immune system so it operates at optimum capacity.
Bolster your B-12s with a dollop of caviar on rye toast; add color and class to a frittata or pizza, pasta dishes or buckwheat blinis. Octopus has a motherload of B-12, when enjoyed in Japanese, Mediterranean and Hawaiian dishes. Do a tentacle stir-fry, seafood cocktail or cioppino with other omega-3 powerhouses like wild caught salmon, cod and bluefish.
Crab and lobster, other sea treasures rich in Bs, are divine steamed, broiled or in a bisque or salad. And if you're a diehard carnivore, do lamb in a ragu over egg noodles or braised with root veggies.
As for rich sources of Vitamin C, load up on apricots, green and red peppers, broccoli and Brussels sprouts.
Full of Vinegar
A home remedy for relieving allergy symptoms is a good ol' glass of apple cider vinegar diluted with spring water. This can be warm or chilled, taken as a daily tonic or when allergies rear their ugly heads.
The Evil Cousin
About 25 percent of seasonal allergy sufferers are also plagued with oral allergy syndrome characterized by itchiness, tingling or swelling of the mouth and lips.
Allergies to specific pollens create cross-reactions to certain foods such as fruits, veggies and nuts. So allergics who react to grass pollen may also react when eating peaches, celery, watermelon, tomatoes and oranges. If ragweed is the culprit, watch out for cantaloupe, cucumber, chamomile tea and sunflower seeds. And for alder pollen allergies, be cautious of apples, almonds, peaches, cherries and hazelnuts. For some, just cooking or peeling the fruits and veggies may diffuse oral allergy symptoms. In any event, if you suspect sensitivities, it's best to see an allergist and get tested.
Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce
* This easy, breezy dressing might also ward off hay fever.
5 tablespoons clover honey
3 tablespoons spicy mustard
1-1/2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
½-tablespoon Meyer lemon juice
Directions: In a bowl, whisk ingredients until blended. Refrigerate and use as a salad dressing, dipping sauce or condiment for burgers or sandwiches.

There are numerous threads on wide whitewalls and classic tires on here. My question is more specific directed at others who bought Diamondbacks. I am likely going with 215-75-15 tires for my 50 Wayfarer but am not sure which makes more sense the Diamondback II or the AS4. I see one is made by Hancock the other by Toyo but those of you that have bought what brand did you choose and why? I suppose Randy can give me the merits of both but maybe someone who is running one or the other can tell me how satisfied they are with their choice. $1100 for tires is a lot of money to some of us.
In other news my rebuilt 230 is being dropped into the car this week. It will be nice this year to be able to go touring without feeling I was working for the mosquito control district.

Resilient and Opportunistic Nature
Category: Nature
Photo and caption by Margaret Shang
This photo of two small, delicate purple flowers juxtaposed against the harshness of the Canadian Shield rocks were taken at Killnarey Park in Ontario during the Autumn. There was nothing but a vastness of harsh rocks in the area that we were in, and we were surprised and delighted to find this miracle of life while hiking through the area. The essence of this photo reminds us of the resilient and opportunistic spirit of nature.

Ways and Means Chairman Dave Camp will retire, meaning his tax reform plan that decreases the number of brackets and introduces an earned income surtax may be history's wonkiest mic drop.

I see another lead story ("Will R.I.'s big bet pay off?," news, Aug. 4) that, once again, attempts to diminish Rhode Island Treasurer Gina Raimondo's decision making and ability to move this sorry state in a new direction.
If you haven't noticed, Rhode Island is being sucked dry by our public sector employees. Until we begin to wean these folks off of the pension drug, investing in hedge funds is quite a viable investment vehicle.
Personally, it would be refreshing to hear from one of our illustrious U.S. senators or congressmen about their plans to move Rhode Island in a new direction. As true liberal politicians, they only embrace the easy stuff -- marriage equality, global warming, wind energy, coastal water protection, etc -- all of which have no real impact on moving the economic needle in our state.
What we need is reporters to begin knocking on the office doors of Senators Sheldon Whitehouse or Jack Reed, demanding answers about what they are going to do to fix our ailing economy, outside of playing the lottery!

Research Description
Cancer metastasis--the spread of cancer cells to distant organs--is what kills the majority of cancer patients. In order for cells to metastasize, they must acquire an invasive and motile phenotype, degrading and moving through tissue barriers. In addition, they must be able to survive and grow at distant sites in the body. The Weaver laboratory studies all aspects of this process. We are particularly focused on how secretion of small extracellular vesicles called exosomes from cells promotes aggressive, invasive behavior and facilitates tumor growth and metastasis. Specific projects include: 1) Induction of invasive protrusion formation and exosome secretion by deregulated signaling; 2) The role of exosome secretion in tumor progression; and 3) Trafficking of RNAs in cancer exosomes.

1GB 4GB 7 inch tab for Rs. 4000
If the final product would be anything like the proposed specification, then it would be the best low cost tablet in the market. As per the government notification, the tablet must have a 7 inch LCD display with "at least" 800×480 pixels resolution. Also, the display should have minimum five point touch capacity. Most of the tablets under Rs 5,000 have such resolution.
Also, as per the government, the tablet should have the latest Android operating system. For instance, if it is launched now it should have Android 4.2.1 Jelly Bean version. But it does not end there as the government has also specified that the tablet should come with dual bootable (through external SD card) Ubuntu operating system.
Currently, iBall 6318i tablet has similar specification as mentioned in the notification, like 1 GB RAM, Android Jelly Bean operating system, 7 inch screen, 4 GB internal memory, 2 megapixel rear camera, 0.3 megapixel front camera etc and it is selling for around Rs 5,000 in the market.
To make it run smoother, the Aakash IV tablet would be fitted with a minimum of 1 GB DDR3 RAM – which is significant as most of the under Rs 5,000 tablet these days comes 512 MB RAM. It would also have minimum of 4 GB internal memory and a 32 GB micro SD card slot.
"Hardware accelerator should be capable of supporting OpenGL ES 2.0 playing true HD720p with at least 30fps," the notification released by the government further added.
As per the proposal, the Aakash IV should come with WiFi (b/g/n), Bluetooth 2.1 or higher version, 3.5 mm jack, USB port and it should support all popular 2G/3G/4G phone/data connectivity dongles in India, USB to Ethernet adaptors, USB printers, mouse, and keyboard. "SD Card interface should support NFC based SD card," the notification further added.
The government though has not specified the exact capacity of the battery to be used in the tablet but it has asked the would-be vendors to fit a batter in the Aakash IV that would give minimum 3 hours for online 720p video playback with maximum brightness, minimum 5 hours on web browsing, 6 hours on e-reader and 30 days of standby time. The tablet also need to have a front camera of VGA (0.3 megapixel) resolution of higher.
Though the notification, does not speak much about the processor's capability to be used in Aakash IV, it has asked the would be vendor to make the tablet in such a way that it would give a minimum of 3537 Antutu benchmark score.
The tablet should have a weight of less than 500 grams and must measure less than 0.75x5x0.75 inch (width, height, thickness).
We hope the Aakash IV would sell around Rs 4,000 considering the price of its previous version in the open market while the subsidised price would be around Rs 2,000.

Where/How to measure for a hat?

I have a related question, which probably has a very simple answer but I really cannot find it.
How do you measure the circumference of a knitted hat, especially while it is being knitted? One author I read suggested the use of a flexible tape measure, but it is not easy to hold a tape exactly around the circumference of the hat, and at the same time spread out the hat, even with a second pair of hands. When knitting from the top down, it would be very handy to be able to tell when to stop making the increases.
I had the idea that the easiest would be to measure the diameter of the hat, then multiply by the value of pi (3.14), which is supposed to give the circumference of a circle. However, I have not found this advice in any knitting handbooks, so is there a catch? Is it because the head is not a perfect circle or what?

Just Say No! Even when it's a prescription, drugs are bad. Here's an excerpt from INFECTED showing why if you're going to OD it's good to be in a hospital when it happens.
When I woke up later, I knew something was wrong. I was in pain. I pushed the button still in my hand giving myself another dose of morphine. That wasn't the problem. There was something else. My chest hurt. Why did my chest hurt? It hurt because I was holding my breath. Breathe, Kate, breathe. I opened my mouth and sucked in a mouth full of air.
Breathing is instinctual. Conscious people are capable of holding their breath, but unconscious people always breathe. Except for me. I was asleep, and I hadn't been breathing. Now I was awake and I still wasn't breathing. Breathe, Kate, Breathe. I gulped down another breath of air.
Everything felt confusing. Why did I keep forgetting to breathe? My abdomen hurt. I pushed the morphine button in my hand. It beeped three times in rapid succession, telling me I wasn't allowed anymore drugs yet. Six minutes can feel like a very long time.
I didn't even know why I kept pushing that stupid button. It didn't take away the pain. Nothing took away the pain. All the morphine did was make me stop caring about the pain. The six minutes were up, I pushed the button again and heard the satisfying single beep. I didn't care about anything, not even breathing.
That's right, I still wasn't breathing. No wonder I felt so dizzy. Breathe, Kate, breathe. I pushed the button. Not the one in my hand, the one on the side of my bed.
"Can I help you?" A voice came across the intercom.
"There is something seriously wrong with me. I keep forgetting how to breathe." I knew I sounded like a crazy person. I probably was a crazy person. I may not have needed a lamp sign before, but I definitely needed one now.
Debra came into my room. "Kate, how are you feeling?"
"I keep holding my breath," I said. I knew it sounded lame. Why had I called the nurse? When would six minutes be up so I could have more pain meds? My abdomen really hurt. My chest hurt too, probably because I wasn't breathing. I remembered to take a breath. "I'm not trying to, I just forget. Everything's confusing right now."
"You're forgetting to breathe?" Debra gave me a look. She was a new nurse, so I hadn't learned how to decode all of her looks yet. I had no idea if I looked insane or critical. Either way, I'd probably get a lamp sign.
I laid there trying to figure out what Debra was thinking, and forgot to breathe again. A lot of time must have gone by because Debra started shouting at me. "Breathe, Kate, you need to breathe."
"Oh yeah, that's why I called you in here. Why do I keep forgetting that?"

DUBLIN -- What's in a city's reputation? Dublin wants to know, and it's spending $128,000 to develop a marketing brand to promote itself as a place to live, work, shop and open businesses.
Developing a brand for the fast-growing city of 46,000 involves more than hanging out at bars and restaurants and asking patrons what they think of Dublin -- although city consultants say they plan to do a little of that.
Consultants plan to do a few "undercover interviews" in local gathering spots.
The city also is paying consultants to do opinion surveys, research, public forums and interviews with civic leaders and ordinary folks to help put a finger on the essence of what Dublin has to offer.
"We help communities be as competitive as they can be. We've got a saying that your branding is what people say about you when you're not around," Don McEachern, president of the company that won the branding contract, told the Dublin City Council last month.
The vote was 5-0 to hire the Nashville-based North Star Destination Strategies to spearhead the effort to develop a brand. The firm has worked with 200 places across the country to develop brands, including the state of Florida and its "The Perfect Climate for Business" slogan.
City officials have said they want a marketing brand to help the city attract businesses, builders, and residents for new areas, a transportation center near the east Dublin/Pleasanton BART station and a planned downtown revitalization.
"We want to know what we're doing right, and what we could be doing better," said Councilman Kevin Hart.
While Dublin has a low crime rate, good schools, convenient access to two freeways and two BART stations, Hart said the city sometimes is overshadowed by the more affluent and older neighboring city of Pleasanton.
"Dublin has always been second brother to Pleasanton, the town across the freeway," Hart said. On the other hand, he said "Dublin is the best-kept secret in the Tri-Valley, if not the county."
While the consulting team will look at how Dublin fits in and competes with surrounding communities, McEachern said the city brand should reflect Dublin's distinct and authentic qualities and appeals.
He also said that once the brand is adopted, the city has more work to do in making use of that brand to promote itself.
"Logos and lines don't create jobs, "McEachern said. "Passionate people do."
He said effective city brands can be used by local companies to promote their products and businesses.
After the Alaska fishing village of Petersburg adopted a platform of "Little Norway, Big Adventure," many local businesses used variations of that in promoting local foods and products, he said.

We present a new technique for predicting the resource demand requirements of services implemented by multitier systems. Accurate demand estimates are essential to ensure the efficient provisioning of services in an increasingly service-oriented world. The demand estimation technique proposed in this paper has several advantages compared with regression-based demand estimation techniques, which many practitioners employ today. In contrast to regression, it does not suffer from the problem of multicollinearity, it provides more reliable aggregate resource demand and confidence interval predictions, and it offers a measurement-based validation test. The technique can be used to support system sizing and capacity planning exercises, costing and pricing exercises, and to predict the impact of changes to a service upon different service customers.

Police arrested two Fremont men on various charges on the 38000 block of Camden Street on Jan. 1 at 10:40 p.m. following a pursuit.
That evening, officers patrolling the area near Eggers Drive and Kimbro Street in Centerville allegedly saw a vehicle with no front license plate circle a roundabout four times, police said.
Officers began to follow the vehicle, which began driving east along Eggers Drive in the westbound direction. The driver ran several red lights and stop signs before turning north on Paseo Padre Parkway, and proceeding in the southbound lanes, police said.
Officers terminated the pursuit at Paseo Padre Parkway and Peralta Boulevard. However, the driver made a U-turn and drove south in the proper lanes, police said.
Officers lost the vehicle momentarily, but located it unoccupied on the 37000 block of Bright Common, police said.
A glass smoking pipe was allegedly found inside the car.
Officers eventually located one of the occupants on Camden Street, who allegedly admitted to being a passenger of the vehicle. The driver was later located on the rooftop of a business and eventually arrested, police said.
Ryan Morales, 27, was booked into Fremont City Jail on charges of evading officers, driving in the wrong direction and possession of a controlled substance, police said.
Pratek Patel, 24, was booked into jail for being under the influence of a controlled substance and possession of a controlled substance, police said.

Europe's Morning MoneyBeat; Quiet Please For The ECB
Good Morning Europe
Early bird investors will face some mixed global signals Thursday. OK so the Dow hit another record closing peak, buoyed up by improving economic numbers out of Europe and a growing feeling that the Federal Reserve won't be cutting back on stimulus this year.
But Asian stocks haven't followed through, with the Nikkei down 0.8% at the close; car makers weighed on the Japanese mainboard as the big three Japanese names have all disappointed.
For the moment it looks as though European stocks will be following Asia lower. FTSE futures are down 0.2%.
Central banks will dominate the European day, as both the European Central Bank and the Bank of England will give us their November policy decisions. Now the BOE isn't expected to do anything and neither, really is the ECB. However, there are those who think Mario Draghi and Co. just might cut interest rates this time around, and plenty more who think the ECB's bosses might signal willingness to do so very soon given the euro zone's feeble inflation picture. As usual these days, the post decision press conference will probably be the highlight.
U.S. third quarter GDP data will come through while Mr. Draghi is speaking.
Market Snapshot: U.S. stocks (Wednesday close): DJIA up 0.8%, Nasdaq down 0.2%, S&P 500 up 0.4%. Nikkei down 0.8% (Thursday close). Brent crude down 26 cents at $104.98, Nymex down 4 cents at $94.76. Gold up 40 cents at $1,318.20. USD/JPY at Y98.60, just below Y98.67 late Wednesday in New York. EUR/USD at $1.3522, above $1.3513.
Watch For: German industrial output, ECB and BOE monetary policy decisions, U.S. weekly jobless claims, advance 3Q GDP estimate.

JERUSALEM (AP) -- Israel's military chief says he does not believe Iran will decide to build nuclear weapons, and that diplomatic and economic sanctions are successful in putting pressure on the Islamic Republic.
Chief of Staff Maj. Gen. Benny Gantz's statements to the Israeli daily Haaretz Wednesday contrast with those of the prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu.
Netanyahu told CNN Tuesday that while sanctions are hurting Iran, they aren't persuading the country's leadership to halt its nuclear ambitions.
Top Israeli officials have similar access to intelligence but often offer differing assessments.
International sanctions seek to pressure Iran not to develop nuclear weapons. Israel fears a nuclear Iran would threaten the Jewish state. Iran denies it intends to build weapons.

Seven Tips for Negotiating Your Divorce Settlement
What is the purpose of a Special Needs Trust?
When should a Special Needs Trust be established?
Who can establish a Special Needs Trust?
Our family is wealthy. Do we still need to create a Special Needs Trust?
Q: What is the purpose of a Special Needs Trust?
While you can certainly bequest money and assets to those with special needs, such a bequest may prevent them from qualifying for essential benefits under the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Medicaid programs. However, public monetary benefits provide only for the bare necessities such as food, housing and clothing. As you can imagine, these limited benefits will not provide those loved ones with the resources that would allow them to enjoy a richer quality of life. But if parents leave any assets to their child who is receiving public benefits, they run the risk of disqualifying the child from receiving those benefits. Fortunately, the government has established rules allowing assets to be held in trust, called a "Special Needs" or "Supplemental Needs" Trust for the benefit of a recipient of SSI and Medicaid, as long as certain requirements are met.
Back to the top.
Q: When should a Special Needs Trust be established?
Generally, a Special Needs Trust should be established no later than the beneficiary's 65th birthday. If you have a disabled or chronically ill beneficiary, you may want to consider establishing the Special Needs Trust at an early age. One benefit of having the Trust in place is that if the disabled beneficiary becomes the recipient of funds such as gifts, bequests or a settlement from a lawsuit, they can immediately be transferred to the Special Needs Trust without affecting that individual's eligibility for government benefits.
Q: Who can establish a Special Needs Trust?
While Special Needs Trusts are typically established by parents for their disabled children, any third party can establish a Special Needs Trust for the benefit of a disabled beneficiary. It is important to seek the assistance of competent counsel when creating a Special Needs Trust. Indeed, a poorly drafted Trust can easily be subject to "invasion" by the government agencies who provide benefits. Our law firm can help establish effective Special Needs Trusts for anyone who wishes to provide for a disabled beneficiary.
Q: Our family is wealthy. Do we still need to create a Special Needs Trust?
Yes, you should still establish a Special Needs Trust to protect your disabled beneficiaries from potential creditors. For example, if your disabled beneficiary is ever sued in a personal injury action, the assets in the trust would not be available to the plaintiffs. Furthermore, because the funds in the Special Needs Trust are not countable as available assets for purposes of determining government benefit eligibility, more of your money can be used for those supplemental expenditures that will allow your disabled beneficiary to enjoy a higher quality of life. Otherwise, much of your assets will be used to pay for private care benefits that are extremely expensive and can drain even significant sums of money over a period of years.

Occupation: Part-time sale man for the 103.9 WNRJ radio station in Vienna, W.Va.
Past Offices Held: None.
1. Ohio has had some success in regaining jobs in the wake of the recession, but the unemployment rate remains over 7 percent. What specifically will you do to help create jobs in the state?
We have many areas of concern in our state, first is jobs, then education, roads and health care. Several of the issues ahead for the next assembly will be the drilling of natural gas. I would not be in favor of the severance tax or another tax. If we allow drilling in Ohio and make sure the gas companies are doing right by the environment, then we will see a massive increase in jobs and the revenues that are created with those jobs. The economic benefit we will get from all the jobs and the revenue to the land owners will be a boost to the state and to the budget. I do not believe we have a taxing problem, we have a spending problem! I also have several issues that I want to sponsor to help our district. Next, I want to promote a bill that would give anyone who upgrades or adds to their homes a step program before they pay any increase in property taxes. My plan would be to start the first year with no increase in taxes on the addition. Then, add 25 percent tax a year until up to 100 percent. This would give incentive for people to add rooms, garages, or pave their driveways. This would increase jobs for contractors, electricians, pavement companies and more. There would also be an increase in sales of businesses who sell the products. By doing this it would increase employment, increase income tax, sales tax and eventually property taxes. But it would also give the homeowners a chance to pay for the upgrades and have a break before they have to pay for the increase in property taxes. I would also find areas of financial waste in state projects and divert that money to small townships to help them with the financial needs they are presently facing. Two examples are the new park and ride at 50/7 and 555, it is 1 miles from the park and ride at 50/7 and 339. I drive by the first park and ride everyday and I have never seen a time when the lot was full. We didn't need the new park and ride and it was a waste of money. Next, the lengthening of the turn lanes in Belpre. We needed turn lights, but not the increase in length to the lanes. This too was a waste of money, as I have never seen a time with more than two to three cars using the turn lanes. Most of the townships in my district have been squeezed to the breaking point and can't afford the basic needs to maintain the roads, culverts and cemeteries in their townships. The money from projects that are wasteful could be used more effectively where it is needed. Next, I believe we need to stop putting so much money to the larger city's schools and be more equal in the distribution of monies toward our rural area schools. It's not honorable that Columbus, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Toledo, Akron have over $15 thousand dollars per student and our area schools receive half that, or less. Much of the money for the larger city schools comes from the state, therefore, the rural districts and representatives need to fight for a more equitable distribution of funds. It is going to take several areas to fix the school funding issue, we just need to work together and find three or more sources of revenue to be added to the property taxes until we have a proven way to fund our schools, fair and even. We can also look to other states that have merged the school boards into county school boards and the superintendents working for more than one school. It is not going to be easy, but it can be done.
I also think the state needs to develop a way to work with insurance companies and the implementation of a tax credit to promote gas stations, grocery stores, convenience stores and banks to have enough generator power to run their basic functions. For example; gas stations could run their pumps, freezers, lights and cash registers; Banks, their ATM machines, and grocery stores could run their freezers, lights and cash registers. If we don't have power, we don't have gas, groceries, money or any way to buy the basic necessities we need to live. If you don't have gas you can't use your generators to keep your refrigerators, freezers or life support systems working. We need to promote insurance companies to give a break on premiums, if a business has the generator power to keep open and working. If the company does not, it ends up throwing away a lot of food and has to file a claim for damaged food and lost business. I have lived though four major power outages in the last 17 years, and it happens enough that we need to fix the problem. In Detroit in 2003 everyone was out of power and there was no driving down the road to a gas station that was open everything was closed down. It then becomes an issue of National Defense. This is too important to not have a plan of action!
Last I believe we have a great opportunity in the gas stored in the shale in our district. As I stated earlier, the gas companies have to do right by the environment, but it is too much of an economic importance to not drill.
2. Ohio is expecting a sizable budget surplus. There have been cuts to local government funding in recent years, from schools to cities and counties and many would like to see that money go to them. Should any of the surplus be spent and if yes, how?
We have several issues that need addressed in the next assembly in regards to the budget and the rainy day fund we have now. We have to address school funding at the K-12 and higher education levels. We need to find a better mix of revenue to help out our rural schools and to earmark that money to schools, so in the future it can not be changed to pay for other needs. I also think Ohio needs to help townships, counties and cities with roads, bridges and infrastructure. I believe that is a fundamental principle in conservative beliefs. You fund infrastructure, roads, bridges, schools, which make up the backbone to our economy and our future. We will need to find more efficient ways to save money in other areas of government to free up the money to work on these issues. The rainy day fund as it is commonly known will have several areas trying to use the money. First you have the new health care cost the federal government is pushing over to the states with the health care bill. I have heard we will have to come up with $300 million next year and up to $600 million the year after to pay our share as a state. We need to get a handle on how much this cost will increase as it will be taking money from other projects like schools, roads, bridges and jobs. We have to continue to make our state business friendly to attract real and permanent jobs and opportunities in our district. The more jobs, the more revenue for all levels of government, while at the same time lowering the cost of unemployment, food, housing, utility and many other support programs. We usually always see a decrease in crime when the economy is strong and people have good and full-time jobs. The better people are financially, and in their job, the less chance they will be committing crimes and depression that leads to drinking and drugs. I believe that new jobs and industry will strengthen our revenue at the state level and lower costs. This will give us the extra available funds to help pay for schools, roads/bridges without spending more money than we have. We are going to have to find a solution that everyone can agree on and more forward, making sure it is watched and working well. I believe we need to keep a sizable rainy day fund for emergencies or new mandates from the federal government, but we can use parts of the fund for medical, schools and local government.
3. Ohio's school-funding system has been declared unconstitutional multiple times due to its reliance on property taxes, yet a solution has remained elusive. Do you believe the situation is likely to change in the near future, and how would you propose addressing the issue?
I am hoping the school funding issue is dealt with in the next General Assembly. We have to address school funding at the K-12 and higher education levels. We need to find a better mix of revenue to help out our rural schools and to earmark that money to schools, so in the future it can not be changed to pay for other needs. I am hoping that we can find a solution to this issues that has been going on for years and many administrations of both parties. It will only become harder to fund schools and to come to an agreement, the longer we take. We will have to work across the aisle to come up with a bi-partisan bill that we can come to an agreement on and to use as a starting point. As with most plans we have, we will need to modify it and make changes when and were needed. It will not be an easy fix, but we have to get together at the state level and get this fixed, for the betterment of the state, our schools and future budgets. I believe with making our state more efficient and work to save waste, we can find the money we need and just make sure it spend on the right issues without the need for additional taxes that would only lower employment in the private sector. We just need to have the parents, school teachers and local school boards involved in the spending of the money and how they want their children educated.

Porsche to Sell 918 Hybrid Supercar (Slideshow)
Porsche says its dealers will begin taking orders for the 918 Spyder hybrid supercar, following an enthusiastic response from would-be customers. The car was first shown as a concept at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show and a racing version caused a stir at this year's Detroit auto show.
The move to take orders is a step toward production of the car, which is slated to begin at Porsche's Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen factory on Sept. 18, 2013 (9/18). The company says it will limit production to 918 cars with a base price in the U.S. of $845,000, excluding the freight charge.
The 918 road car will combine a 500-horsepower V8 engine, two electric motors with an additional 218 horsepower, and plug-in-hybrid technology aimed at boosting fuel efficiency and overall performance.
The company estimates the 918 will use three liters of gasoline per 100 kilometers, based on the New European Driving Cycle, or NEDC. Official EPA fuel-economy estimates will be available just before the first customer cars begin arriving in the U.S. near the end of 2013. Based on conversion tables, which Porsche advises against using when judging its hybrid vehicles, the 918 should get a little over 78 miles per gallon in the U.S.
Porsche points out that European and U.S. testing standards for fuel economy differ enough that straight comparisons can be wildly inaccurate. In the case of the company's hybrid Cayenne SUV and Panamera sedan, cutting the number by 25% or so gets you closer to the truth. So let's look for a Prius-like 60 mpg from the 918 when it gets here.

MINERAL WELLS - More than 800 people turned out Saturday for the annual craft show sponsored by Chesterfield United Methodist Church Ladies Aid Society at Mineral Wells Elementary School.
Judy Knopp, coordinator of the show, said the event appeared to be on its way to beating last year's attendance on Saturday afternoon.
"We've done this for 10 years," she said. "Last year we had about 800 come. The girls at the ticket table said we were way ahead of that at 1:30 p.m. (Saturday)."

Knopp said the money raised goes to a number of organizations.
"The funds from this go to organizations like Old Man Rivers, House to Home, our local volunteer fire department and St. Jude's Hospital," she said. "We also help people in our community throughout the year that have hard times."
Knopp said the show had 135 exhibitors and vendors, a record number. The food sold at the show was donated by a number of local restaurants and grocery stores. She added many baked good were donated by church members and from the community.

A record crowd turned out Saturday for the Chesterfield United Methodist Church Ladies Aid Society craft show at Mineral Wells Elementary School.
Judy Knopp, coordinator of the show, said the group has sponsored the show for 10 years and had a record 135 exhibitors and vendors.
Money raised goes to a number of organizations such as Old Man Rivers, House to Home, local volunteer fire departments and St. Jude's Hospital as well people in the community that have hard times.
Lori McIntyre, of McIntyre's Country Crafts, said her booth was having a good day.
"We have done more business here than at other shows,' she said.
James Oldaker, of Parkersburg, said he was at the show for the first time with what he called Smelly Jelly or candles without flames.
"This is our first year here and for me it has been very profitable," he said.
Mary Williams, of Mary's Marionettes of Vienna, was making her first appearance at the show after an absence in the gymnasium area. She said business was off a little, but not much, compared to the past.
"When I came here I had 10 animals for my marionettes but now I have 57, it's like a little barn yard," she said.
Williams said in the gymnasium people take time to browse at what she offers. It also provides a good showcase for her marionettes.
"Here the children can better see how they work," she said
Melissa Wigal, of Vienna, and Judy Myers, of Charleston, were selling their crafts. Wigal had praise for the show.
"It has been a very good show for us,' she said. "We've been to many and this one has been great."

Nancy Grace and Tristan MacManus to waltz the night away in 'DWTS' - VIDEO
Speaking of his Irish accent -- Grace told him he sounded like a leprechaun on the first show -- MacManus said a lot of people had problems understanding his lilt at the beginning, but people are "finally getting used to it."
On his relationship with tough-as-nails television host and prosecutor Grace, MacManus said, "Yes, we get on great. She is great. She works very hard and really wants this. I'm very happy with her and things are going well at the moment."
And it's imperative that they do get on because Grace and MacManus spend seven days a week together rehearsing for the following week's show.
"It's pretty intense at the moment but we really have to put the time in," he said.
Grace and MacManus made headlines across the country last week when it appeared that she had a wardrobe malfunction -- part of her breast came out of her dress for a split second.
"I had no idea it had happened to be honest, my attention was no where near there so I don't know," he laughed when asked about the incident.
On Monday night's show they performed a waltz inspired by Grace's husband and twins, but the judges were underwhelmed and gave them a score of only 21. Therefore, they'll have to rely on their fan base even more in order to continue on in the competition.
On the challenges of a new dance each week, MacManus said they are all difficult.
"Every week it's something new so we just take it as it comes, embrace it and hope for the best," he says.
Although home is always where the heart is, MacManus hasn't been back in Wicklow for Christmas in years.
"I've been on tour so much up to this, but this year I'm looking forward to spending some time at home over the holidays because my schedule with this show will allow it," he said sounding genuinely excited.
In the meantime, his family is due to visit him next week in LA to see him dancing live on television.
"The support from Ireland has been great too, so I'm thrilled," he said.
Before being rushed off the phone to start his rehearsals with Grace, MacManus made sure to thank all his Irish and Irish American supporters.
"Thanks so much for the support and votes. Keep it up and we'll continue to try our hardest," he said.
When MacManus's rehearsals came to a close on Friday he was whisked off to various other interviews and back to the studio for a wardrobe fitting for Monday night's show.
"It's all go all right, but I wouldn't have it any other way," he said.

Tiger Tiger Burning Bright
A group show inspired by William Blake's immortal poem The Tyger. This is what the blog says:
A group show based around the theme of tigers, inspired by the dynamic poem " The Tiger" by visionary artist and painter William Blake.
Additionally, 2010 is the Year of the Tiger in the Chinese calendar, and the animal is a very visible example of the environmental problem of habitat loss and rampant poaching, with the reported last wild Indochinese tiger being killed and eaten in December 2009.
We've asked a group of artists to create works inspired by this majestic, tragic, and beautiful creature, whether on a symbolic, metaphysical, or archetypal level or as a touchstone for deep contemporary issues.
Audrey Kawasaki (She is the reason why I looked up this show. I love her work.)
Many Dead Things : The Specimens of Alex CF
Another artist I like and whose work I've been following for a number of years. Alex CF is currently exhibiting at the Superette Gallery in London. This is the press release:
In his first solo exhibition, following the release of his monograph, artist Alex CF offers the public a unique opportunity to see his bizarre specimens in person – objects that have so far only been witnessed by private collectors, such as Maxime Chattam (author) or Reece Shearsmith (actor, League of Gentlemen) who wrote the foreword for his book, and will be lending pieces from his own collection for the show.
Alex has spent the last five years crafting wondrous relics of an alternate past – a rich tapestry of 19th century cryptozoological artifacts and creatures that challenge our understanding of the natural world: The mummified remains of a vampire child, the taxidermied corpse of a 7-foot-tall adult werewolf, the trappings of scientists and archaeologists pertaining to the study of these species in the form of antique research cases, amongst many other fascinating objects.
The show will encompass a number of works including 6 new pieces and Alex will be signing his book.
Alex's work has been featured in a number of well-known publications both online and in print, such as Weird Tales, Bizarre, BoingBoing, and io9. His work has also been featured on book covers, and in a number of independent films.

VINCENT - Warren will need to run the table and win its final three games of the season if it is going to break even again on the gridiron this fall.
The two previous years, the Andy Schob-coached Warriors posted 5-5 marks each season.
It all starts at 7:30 p.m. Friday when the royal blue and white football team (2-5 overall, 0-2 Southeastern Ohio Athletic League) returns to Vincent after a three-game road trip to play visiting Gallia Academy (5-2, 2-0) in a homecoming and SEOAL matchup.

Warren's Andrew Henthorn (2) attempts to break up a pass intended for a Chillicothe wide receiver during prep football action last Friday night.
"We know we are the underdog in this game, but it is homecoming and it should add some more excitement," Schob said. "Our younger players have another game of experience and will learn from last week and get back to the progress they were making. Our seniors have been positive and continued to work all year and want nothing more than to perform well."
Warren is coming off a disappointing 38-7 setback at Chillicothe (2-5, 1-1) last Friday night. The Warriors mustered just 161 yards of total offense, and one touchdown, a Dylan Leffingwell 11-yard scoring strike to tight end David Ryan in the second quarter.
The royal blue and white never led in the contest.
"We knew going into the game that Chillicothe was much better than their record," Schob said. "The four teams they lost to were probably better than anyone in our league. They were bigger up front and more athletic than we were. However, we were disappointed with the level we played at most of the game. We cannot control our competition, but we can control what we do, and we did not play well."
Defensively, Blake Staley had 23 tackles to lead the Warriors.
Meanwhile, over at Memorial Field in Gallipolis on the same evening, Mike Eddy-coached Gallia Academy (5-2, 2-0) was celebrating its homecoming by "rallying" to defeat Portsmouth (1-6, 0-2), 49-21, in a SEOAL tilt.
The Blue Devils amassed 429 yards of total offense (352 rushing, 77 passing) and defensively sacked the opposing quarterback seven times.
After falling behind 7-0 early to PHS, Gallia scored 42 unanswered points during a 16-minute span and never looked back. The Blue Devils led 35-7 at the intermission.
GAHS quarterback Wade Jarrell completed six-of-12 passes for 72 yards and one touchdown and one interception. He also rushed for a team- and game-high 191 yards on seven carries and three touchdowns.
On the ground, Ty Warnimont added 95 yards on three carries and two TDs. Other contributors were Nick Clagg, Luke Pullins, Luke Pullins, and Logan Allison.
Gallia receiver Reid Eastman had one scoring reception of 40 yards.
Defensively, Warnimont had two sacks, and Mark Allen, Austin Gragg, Briggs Shoemaker, Tyler Byus and Jose Roberts had one apiece.
Justin Bailey and Cody Russell each had a pick.
Gallia place-kicker Dylan Saunders was a perfect 7-for-7 on the night.
"Gallia is probably the league favorite and a very sound and physical football team," Schob said. "Defensively they are aggressive and get to the football and offensively they will line up and run right at you, while mixing in spread sets to get their athletes in space."
After Gallia, Warren is scheduled to play at Portsmouth and then conclude its campaign with a home game against Logan.
"We are currently starting five or six sophomores and many other starters are inexperienced and undersized," Schob said. "We understand that most teams we play will be bigger and more varsity ready. Our players understand that we need to play hard for four quarters and be sound fundamentally. I like the progress many have made, but we must be more consistent every week."
Notes: After the Jackson game, signal caller Dylan Leffingwell is the school's leading career passer with 4,573 yards. Against the Ironmen, the senior Warrior threw for 210 yards to break current Warren quarterback coach Shawn Taylor's career mark of 4,414 yards.
Taylor was a first-team All-Ohio honoree in 1996.
Also in the Jackson game, Chas Miller kicked a school-record 47-yard field. The previous record boot of 43 yards was held jointly by Kevin Fivecoait (1985) and Nathan Evans (1995).
Evans is currently the Warren golf coach.
