Nordegren, 34, who rarely speaks publicly and gave her only interview to date to PEOPLE on the eve of her 2010 divorce from Tiger Woods, told her fellow Rollins College graduates at the Winter Park, Florida, commencement ceremony that she was surprised – and "a little scared" – when she got the call about the award and the commencement address that comes with it.
After all, she said, "I have been called a 'woman with no words' in the media and criticized for not talking very much."
Nordegren started college courses at Rollins in 2005, when she was married to Woods and did not yet have children, chipping away at her degree sometimes one class at a time. She took a semester off following the birth of each of her children – Sam, now 6, and Charlie, now 5 – and again in 2010, in the wake of the spectacular revelations of infidelity by her then-husband. That period she referred to Saturday as "the wild storm of my personal life."
With Charlie asleep in the audience, Nordegren said to applause: "Education has been the only consistent part of my life the last nine years. And it has offered me comfort. Education is one thing that no one can take away from you."
The Swedish-born American citizen said her fellow students helped her to keep going. "When you told me stories about your full-time day jobs, about coming home to cook dinner for your families, and about making sure your children were cared for while you were attending classes, you inspired me," she said. "Whatever obstacle I was facing at the time, your stories and sharing helped me put things in perspective."
A nanny and onetime model when she met Woods, Nordegren, for whom English is a second language, had a reputation in pro-golf circles for being quiet and reserved. She joked Saturday about how, right after she had taken a class called Communication and the Media, "I was unexpectedly thrust into the media limelight. I probably should have taken more notes in that class!"
In an exclusive interview for an upcoming issue of PEOPLE, Nordegren says that, whatever her initial trepidation, she ultimately embraced Saturday's speaking duties: "If I can inspire even one mom to go back and get her degree with the message that it's never too late, then I am happy."

Saffron Persimmon Jam Silver Oak Winery Chef Dominic Orsini Want to know how to make homemade Saffron Persimmon Jam? Follow this recipe from our Napa Valley Winery Chef for a great food and wine pairing appetizer.
Saffron Persimmon Jam
Total Time:
- Prepare your fruit. Remove the calyx from each persimmon. The calyx is the brown leafy piece on top of the fruit. Slide a knife under the leaves of the calyx and cut in a circular motion around the stem. Discard the calyx.
- Cut each persimmon into fours, remove the stems and then chop the fruit into small pieces. Dump the chopped persimmon into a medium stock pot. Add fruit pectin, orange juice and saffron. Add just enough water to cover the persimmons. Stir well. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil, stirring frequently.
- When the fruit is soft and translucent, remove the pot from the heat. Force the fruit through a food mill or strainer, collecting all the juice. For jam, keep the fruit solids in the final mix. For jelly, pour the fruit mix into a cheesecloth and squeeze out the juice, leaving fruit solids in the bag.
- Mix 4 cups of persimmon juice to 4 cups sugar and bring to a rolling boil. Boil until the temperature reaches 218°F. Pour into jars and follow standard canning methods to preserve.

A Letter to the IMF from Advocate David Cowan
March 23, 2011
Dear IMF,
My name is David Cowan. I am a white male, 51 years old, and I have Multiple Myeloma (Igg kappa with Chromosome 13 deletion). I was diagnosed in March 2006 at the ripe old age of 46 and after going through several ordeals I found I was at stage III. It took three hospitals and my home town doctor at the time to figure it out. In small towns it's hard to find the right diagnosis when they have never seen our kind of cancer. In fact, I was treated for pneumonia and double pneumonia for three weeks in the hospital when I had two big blood clots in my lungs.
After studying all the information available to me at the time, I decided to go to the University of Arkansas. Had I not there is no telling where I would be as I received the best of care there. I had four months of treatment, two transplants, and was in remission in six months' time. It took a whole year with breaks and maintenance chemo to get to come home for a decent amount of time. Since then I have had two Gene Arrays, fifteen Bone Marrow biopsies, radiation, and numerous treatments. At the present time I have treatments for several months and I go into remission. I take about 2 months off and I come out of remission.
One fine and beautiful day I received an e-mail from Meghan Buzby with the IMF telling me about a bill in the New Mexico Legislature, SB 385. It caught my interest and before I knew it I was in Santa Fe, NM at the State Capitol. I have never been in the Capitol much less testified before a committee. SB 385 is a bill that would require equal coverage for orally administered chemotherapy and intravenous and injected chemotherapy. Senator Timothy Z. Jennings was to introduce the bill. I visited with him before I testified and found out that his wife had succumbed to Breast cancer that had metastasized to the brain. They fought for 4 years. I had an immediate connection with Sen. Jennings and in fact have started a new found friendship. He is a fine gentleman.
Once we had completed our conversations, I was to meet Sen. Jennings at a conference room where the committee was to convene. By the time I got there and settled down to a seat, the committee was ready. Sen. Jennings and I sat together in front of about eight Representatives and I gave my testimony. It started out fine but as I explained all that I had been through and what this bill meant to me and others, I started having a lot of emotions and I found it hard to talk. Sen. Jennings picked up where I left off and told his story about his wife's battle. We complimented each other and it became a powerful statement. I was teary-eyed, Sen. Jennings was, and when I looked at the Chairwoman I saw that she also had tears in her eyes. I found out later that she lost a close friend to cancer not long ago. The bill passed the committee unanimously.
After all was said in that little room it became very apparent that cancer has become so large that there is not one person in this big ole world that has not been touched by cancer. Either someone has cancer; a family member has it, or someone they know. It's sad and at times overwhelming but it is not something that cannot be beat. IMF is one of those organizations that are leading the battle against cancer. I cannot thank them nor can I thank Meghan enough.
Once we were through, Sen. Jennings invited me and my wife and sister who were with me for support, to join him in the Senate which was currently conveying. We sat right beside the Chairman, Lieutenant Governor, John A. Sanchez. It was amazing to see the government at work. It was an experience of a life time. At the present time SB 385 is sitting on the Governor's desk to be signed. I have e-mailed her and written a letter. It's in her and God's hands now, we can just pray for the best.
Those of you that have never been to Santa Fe are missing out. I've been there several times but this time everything looked new and very much alive. It gave me a new outlook on life and I was ready to get back and fight. My advice to everyone that is in treatment and doesn't always feel good is to get out and go somewhere even if you have to get someone to take you. Go anywhere that you want as long as you do something that you like and that makes you feel good. It's worth it!
Your friend in the fight,
David Cowan

Commission, sheriff sued by former employee
November 2, 2013
ELKINS — A civil suit was filed Thursday alleging Randolph County Sheriff Mark Brady wrongfully terminated an employee in the county tax office....
All this is is some radical progressives on the left attempting to get what they want through the same channels our current president and his radicals go through. Smoke and mirrors. Just scream something and hope it sticks. Isn't that the way the country's being run now by Obama? Same thugs; can't wait for this Thugocracy to be over.

To prevail in a lawsuit you must file, go to a hearing (if its not dismissed)which normally it will not be since all sides has to answer and have a hearing then the judge will decide if it will go to trial. First, I hope the plaintiff's get a lawyer out of elkins. A law firm that is good or even better. It amazes me why the citizens/taxpayers have not filed a "class-action" law suit against the assessor and commissioners for assessments that are false! Talk about non-profits stealing funds, the BOE, Commissioners and others are taking tax assessment funds by assessments that are blatantly over what they are should. I certainly hope Mark Brady is up & up with his hiring and didn't do anything wrong. He came from a humble family. Paul Brady and his wife were good people. I mean Paul Brady Senior. Preacher Brady's son.

Lawsuit is going nowhere. Get over it whiners. It will come out 'why' she was fired and am sure there was a legitimate reason.
The lawsuit is laughable; especially where she 'claims' she's so distraught that her husband is suffering also due to her not being capable of showing affection to him. Bwahaha...oh PLEEASE....

Anyhow ... I think Brady, the same sheriff that felt it necessary to go out of state to hire 2 deputies rather than hire 2 local residents should also explain to his employers (we the taxpaying citizens) as to the motivation and reasoning behind the personnel demotions and promotions in the tax office ...

Less Than Jake
Having risen from Florida's popular pop-punk/ska underground in 1992, Less Than Jake remains one of the hardest working and most well-known acts in the genre.
The band was initially created by three high school classmates after their band Good Grief dissolved in the early '90s.
Drawing on influences from a relatively short genre history, Less Than Jake was inspired by the British band Snuff to add a horn section prior to releasing its 21-song debut, "Pezcore," in 1995. The positive impact from the decision was felt immediately, as the band's local popularity began to soar.
The attention drew the interest of Capitol Records, which signed the band in 1996 and released its major-label debut, "Losing Streak," that same year. The band set out on tours with Blink 182, Descendents and Guttermouth, as well as continuing to fill its regular Warped Tour slot, to promote the album, leading to its climb onto the Billboard Heatseekers chart.
The band has built a reputation as a strong live band, having spent most of its time on the road performing with acts as varied as Korn, Snoop Lion (formerly Snoop Dogg), Dropkick Murphys, Linkin Park and Fall Out Boy.
Less Than Jake will release its eighth studio album, "See the Light," in November on Fat Wreck Chords.
Less Than Jake will perform Thursday at the Music Farm, 32 Ann St., with the Sublime tribute band Badfish and Shipwrecked Losers. Tickets are $20 and are available at the door, the Music Farm box office or online at Ticketfly.com. Doors open at 7 p.m. with the show starting at 7:30 p.m.
Call 577-6989 or go to MusicFarm.com for more information.
Movie Star Junkies
Hailing from Turin, Italy, Movie Star Junkies weaves a patchwork of styles ranging from blues, punk and lo-fi/garage rock, a tapestry that has drawn frequent comparisons to the Black Lips and the Velvet Underground.
While not a major name in the States, Movie Star Junkies developed a dedicated following in its native country following the release of its 2008 debut, "Melville," a concept album based on the life and work of Herman Melville.
Movie Star Junkies will perform Saturday at The Royal American, 970 Morrison Drive, with The Palisades. There is a $5 cover at the door. Showtime is set for 9 p.m.
Call 817-6925 or go to TheRoyalAmerican.com.
Jubee and The Morning After
After beating out more than 2,000 bands to win the Samsung AT&T Summer Krush Opening Act contest in 2011, Georgia-bred hip-hop/rock quintet Jubee and The Morning After received national attention by appearing as Pitbull's opening act and scoring a spot on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!"
The recognition helped accelerate the band's momentum behind its 2011 debut EP and pushed the band onto touring spots alongside Gym Class Heroes, Yelawolf, Cartel, Currensy and others.
The group's high-energy mingling of funk and rock and Jubee's throwback rap style has become a live favorite among concertgoers as a result.
Jubee and The Morning After will perform Friday at The Pour House, 1977 Maybank Highway, with The Artful Dodgers. Tickets are $8 and are available at the door or online at Etix.com.
Call 571-4343 or go to CharlestonPourHouse.com.

Chief Financial Officers (CFOs) and the finance organisations they lead have yet to fully exploit emerging technologies to better support the business, says a new report from ACCA (the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants).
The report, Is finance function technology delivering on its promise?, which gauged in-depth views from finance executives across a spectrum of businesses, including Shell, Aviva, Kimberly-Clark, Deloitte, Accenture and others, suggests the finance organisation is not using technology to its full potential and, in turn, could be missing out on bringing more value to the enterprise.
Jamie Lyon, Head of Corporate Sector at ACCA, said: 'The problem is not necessarily that technology isn't available, but there are many reasons why finance has not yet reached tech nirvana. The reality is for most finance functions the technology landscape is still complex and fragmented with multiple ERP, continuing workarounds and bolt on applications. But this report suggests there are bigger issues too. It is about behaviours, vision and culture in the finance function to go that step further and really push for technological change.'
He adds: 'Of course it isn't true to say that finance technology has been standing still for the past 10 years. Leading companies have deployed technology to improve finance service delivery to the business, but the primary focus has really been around cost, efficiency and quality in transactional finance, and driving standardisation and improving controls.
'However, concepts such as self-service finance, or eliminating the need for people in transactional finance processes through greater technology deployment, continue to prove elusive. We'd also question whether there is a greater opportunity for business process outsourcers to bring more finance technology innovation to bear.'
The report suggests the real opportunity CFOs have is to champion the adoption of transformative technology and predictive capability tools to support decision making. However, for all the aspirations that finance may have around the value and insight agenda, this remains a work in progress for most.
Deborah Kops, principal at Sourcing Change and co-author of the report, said: 'Finance can, through technology, eliminate its preoccupation with processes. Harnessing technologies that mine data for patterns means the function can become a game changer for business. Finance leaders have tended to rely on their technology colleagues rather than members of their own teams to plan their technology 'roadmaps'.
'The Chief Information Officer's team is either consumed with implementing the latest version of ERP, or with identifying and installing the newest customer-facing social and mobile technology that isn't really touching finance. This means the technology needs for finance get little attention when it could transform the function for the better.
'We should also acknowledge that the application of technology has the potential to change further what a finance career means. If technology increasingly automates transactional finance and is also able to mine insights at the same time, it will change what it means to be a finance professional as well as the capabilities needed.'

UNIVERSITY PARK - Quincy Gildea stood over her ball Thursday during the District 6 girls golf championships at the Penn State White Course and held out her club past the ball toward the green, just like she's done before every shot of her high school career.
The only difference between how she did it in the tournament and every other time she's done it is that Thursday it was called a violation.
That violation ended up leading to Gildea's disqualification and erasing her score of 89 - which was Hollidaysburg's best score - from the Lady Tigers' team total. With Gildea's score, Hollidaysburg bested State College, 374-384, for the District 6 championship and clinched a berth at the PIAA Western Regionals at Tom's Run in Blairsville next week.
Without her score, State College topped Hollidaysburg, 384-392, when the Lady Tigers had to substitute alternate Abby Love's 107 for Gildea's 89.
Hollidaysburg's season is now over thanks to a rule violation that likely at least 75 percent of golfers have no idea exists.
Rule 8-2 in the United States Golf Association's rule book states the following: "Except on the putting green, a player may have the line of play indicated to him by anyone, but no one may be positioned by the player on or close to the line or an extension of the line beyond the hole while the stroke is being made. Any mark placed by the player or with his knowledge to indicate the line must be removed before the stroke is made."
According to assistant golf professional Steve Eskey, who was the club pro presiding over the event, Gildea violated rule 8-2.
"The assistant golf professional went out to observe what she did," Tournament Director Dean Rossi said. "He was contacted by two individuals that were following their group. The pro is charge of interpreting the rules of golf in the competitions. He observed her and found she was in violation. She said she had been doing it. He told her she was in violation and explained the rule to her. He told her to stop, and that was it."
Like many golfers, Gildea goes through the same pre-swing routine every time she hits the ball. Earlier this season, Hollidaysburg golf coach Bernie Jubeck asked some professionals whether her routine was legal.
"I spoke to two different professionals, because I thought that might be a violation, but both of those gentlemen didn't think it was a violation the way I explained it to them," Jubeck said. "I checked it out, because I was worried it might be called, but the two people I talked to gave me the impression that it was okay."
Eskey, however, deemed it wasn't.
"[Eskey] came in to me and explained she was in violation of a rule," Rossi said. "I said the player is mine [because Rossi is Hollidaysburg's athletic director], and it involves me, and because it was my player, I removed myself from the decision. I had nothing to do with it.
"I called the PIAA and talked to Mark Byers, and [he and Eskey] discussed the rule. Mark agreed the pro was in control, and if there was a rule violation, the PIAA would uphold it. There is appeal process to contact the USGA. I asked Steve if we could call USGA for a final appeal. We called. Two different USGA people said the rule was violated. She turned her scorecard in with the improper score. Her score was wrong, and that's why she was disqualified."
The result of the decision left both Gildea and Rossi overcome with emotion. Both Rossi and Jubeck hugged Gildea and offered their support as teammates gathered around her as the State College girls accepted their District 6 Championship trophy despite finishing 10 strokes behind the Lady Tigers.
The decision also meant Gildea had to forfeit a medal for finishing fourth place overall in the individual competition.
Of course, there is precedence in golf for these types of situations.
In 2010, Dustin Johnson blew a chance to win the PGA Championship when he committed a rule violation in the sand, but Johnson is a professional whose job it is to know the rules of golf. He gets paid to know the rules and play by those rules.
Gildea, a junior in high school, is playing golf for free. She's playing a sport through her school, and just like in the classroom, playing sports in high school or junior high should be about learning.
Gildea had no idea what she was doing was wrong. She had been told by her coach what she was doing was fine, and she'd played every hole of her career the same way. Hundreds of people have watched her play, and none said anything. Until Wednesday - when it mattered the most.
Neither Rossi or Jubeck saw Gildea play Wednesday as both were monitoring other groups, but neither was even sure why Gildea's action was ruled a violation even after the ruling.
"For as long as I've known Quincy and seen her play, which has been years, she's always played that way," Jubeck said. "She stands behind the ball. She puts the club head out. I've never seen her touch the grass, just dangle it out there and get a read. I've never seen Quincy pound the ground in front her."
Throughout the entire ordeal, Gildea may not have become a district champion like her and her Hollidaysburg teammates deserved to be, but she did prove that she's a good person, not a cheater like a disqualification usually implies.
"We talked about the negative, but Quincy admitted it, that she did what [Eskey] said she did, and sometimes players wouldn't say that," Jubeck said. "I respect her and her integrity. Certainly we're disappointed, but I want it to be known that she showed complete honestly and integrity with the game."
Though Gildea was just trying to do the right thing by the game's rules, the game of golf did her wrong.
The record books may show State College won the district title Wednesday, but Hollidaysburg can take solace that they were not only the best team on the course Wednesday but the best off it thanks to the way everyone stood by Gildea.
"It's not Quincy's fault. It's probably my fault, because I didn't tell her," Jubeck said. "She went out and shot an 89. She did what she did all the time. I'm proud of her, and I'm proud of all the girls. This is a life lesson learned, unfortunately, for Hollidaysburg."

As always, there is a lot going on. Christmas Surprise Packages have been shipping out as well as Robotech® RPG Tactics™. Secret projects are moving forward as are products for year's end. Interest in the CS Polo Shirt is strong enough for me to green-light printing it. But people seem disinterested in the Property of the Coalition States black T-shirt with white and red printing. At this point, it looks like we will NOT be making this T-shirt, but we'll wait and see what the weekend brings. Otherwise, we continue to work on numerous different projects.
UPDATE: Dead Reign™ Sourcebook: Graveyard Earth™
This is in final typesetting and layout. It should go to the printer on Friday. It is a great book that spans the world and offers a wealth of adventure ideas and settings around the world. A must-have item for any player and G.M. of Dead Reign™. The Zombie Apocalypse has never been scarier.

Anti-Semitic incidents remained at a sustained and troubling level in 2009. While overall incidents of traditional manifestations of anti-Semitism -- assaults, vandalism, and harassment -- declined, the long-term, ongoing explosion of online anti-Semitism cemented 2009 as one of the most serious years of anti-Semitic activity in a generation.
The Anti-Defamation League's annual Audit of Anti-Semitic Incidenrts recorded 1,211 anti-Semitic incidents in 2009. These included:
The 2009 Audit comprises data from 46 states and the District of Columbia, including official crime statistics as well as information provided to ADL's regional offices by victims, law enforcement offices and community leaders and members.
The Audit encompasses criminal acts, such as vandalism, violence, and threats of violence, as well as non-criminal incidents of harassment and intimidation. The latter is comprised primarily of hate propaganda, leafleting and verbal slurs.
For the first time in the more than three decades ADL has tracked and reported on anti-Semitic incidents, the Audit of Anti-Semitic Incidents was significantly revamped to improve reporting methods and update some evaluation criteria. At the same time, a new technology platform was developed that enabled the League's 30 regional offices to record and track incidents with even greater speed and accuracy.
As a result, the 2009 total of 1,211 incidents does not include some incidents that would have been categorized as anti-Semitic under the previous Audit system. In 2008 -- prior to the adoption of enhanced reporting methods -- the League recorded a total of 1,352 incidents. The decline of 10 percent between the 2008 and 2009 figures is not inclusive of incidents that would have been counted under the previous methodology.
The 2009 Audit takes a more conservative approach to counting graffiti. The new approach recognizes that the Nazi swastika is no longer exclusively used as a hate symbol against Jews; rather, it appears today in vandalism incidents against African-Americans, Hispanics, and other minorities and is sometimes used by juveniles who are not necessarily targeting Jews but just using it for its shock value. Therefore, ADL is making a more detailed analysis of each swastika vandalism incident before including it in the Audit. Other modifications include increased standardization of reporting, and verification of incidents prior to inclusion in the Audit.
In addition to a new technology platform and stricter standards, ADL made an important choice in connection with this year's Audit in particular: the 2009 Audit does not include the well over 2,000 anti-Semitic faxes sent to Jewish community institutions by the virulently anti-Semitic Westboro Baptist Church. These faxes caused great distress among recipients and, had they been counted, the 2009 Audit's harassment totals would have significantly increased.
The Audit has never included, and does not now include, thousands of anti-Semitic events that occurred in cyberspace. This decision was made because anti-Semitism in cyberspace, a matter of great concern to ADL, is virtually impossible to quantify. However, while we do not quantify online hate, ADL does receive reports from community members who have seen anti-Semitic content online, and these complaints came in at a substantially increased pace in 2009.
While the Audit of Anti-Semitic Incidents does not typically include expressions of opposition to Zionism or Israel, it does include them if they are accompanied by the invocation of classic anti-Semitic stereotypes, such as Nazi imagery or analogies, or references that delegitimize, demonize or reflect a double standard about Israel.

Bishops' Committee on Migration sets broad policies and direction for the
Church's work in the area of migration. The Committee oversees and provides guidance
to Migration and Refugee Services, which is comprised of five offices,
including the Office of the Executive Director, the Office of Management and
Administration and several policy and program offices:
The above MRS offices represent the bishops' interests in policy formulation and communication, advocacy, education, refugee resettlement, and other specialized services to at risk and vulnerable populations, such as victims of trafficking and unaccompanied minors. The Committee actively promotes the U.S. bishops' migration-related interests with public policy-makers at the national and international levels. Committee members and MRS staff periodically testify before Congress and meet with Administration officials to advocate the bishops' positions. Among the high priority policy concerns of the Committee is refugee protection and finding durable solutions to their plight. In this context the Committee occasionally arranges site visits to refugee areas of the world to witness the conditions of the refugees and to call for adequate responses on the part of the international community.
