A former Buckhannon police officer has filed a federal lawsuit in West Virginina's Northern District Court claiming she was never compensated for time she spent caring for and training the city's drug dog.
Loralie Hissam worked for the city's police department from August 2008 to January 2011. In January 2009, she was assigned the job of being the city's canine officer, which she continued to do until resigning in 2011, according to the lawsuit filed in federal court on Jan. 7.
Hissam claims in the filing that she made Buckhannon Chief of Police Matt Gregory aware that she was spending one to three off-duty hours daily feeding, training, grooming, brushing, bathing and exercising the dog. She also claims she used off-duty hours to clean the dog's kennel and transport vehicle, to take the dog for veterinary care and to do demonstrations with the dog.
Hissam also claims in the lawsuit that she was never reimbursed for any financial expenses out of her own pocket for the dog's food, medicine, medical treatments and exercise equipment.
The lawsuit was filed in the Elkins office of the Northern Division Court because Hissam claims the city and the police department are in violation of the federal Fair Labor Standards Act.
Buckhannon City Attorney David McCauley said he could not speak to the specifics of the case, citing its status as pending litigation.
However, McCauley said the "drug dog" program was terminated and the dog retired when Hissam resigned from the police department. The police department still has not resumed any similar program.
"Frankly, I do not believe our city would have had a drug dog, except for the plaintiff's persistance," McCauley said.
McCauley added that "to the best of my knowledge and recollection," Hissam never approached the city council about overtime compensation for her off-duty hours spent with the dog "that she very specifically solicited the city to acquire."
Hissam is seeking reimbursement for the costs incurred with boarding and training the dog, along with unpaid overtime compensation with interest for the off-duty hours needed in caring for and training the dog.
Hissam, who is now residing in Kanawha County, is being represented by Charleston attorney William C. Forbes in the matter.

Super Bowl serves as a launch pad to counter childhood obesity
Super Bowl serves as a launch pad to counter childhood obesity
The triple combination of sedentary technology such as video games and the internet, reduced physical activity, and eating poor diets are just some of the contributing factors causing over one-third of American children to become either overweight or obese. If this trend continues, today's children may be the first generation with shorter life expectancies than their parents.
The situation is becoming so concerning that a unique collaboration which took root in 2007 just got a whole lot bigger at a February 4 announcement in Dallas, Texas, just days before the Super Bowl. The new partner throwing their support behind the battle includes:
• The U.S. Secretaries of Agriculture; Education; and Health and Human Services
• The former Surgeon General of the United States
• The Commissioner of the National Football League (NFL)
• The CEO of the National Dairy Council (NDC)
• The CEO of the newly formed Gen YOUth Foundation
These groups are partnering to expand on the initial efforts by NDC and NFL launched in 2007 with the "Fuel Up to Play 60" program. The customizable in-school program empowers youth in more than 70,000 schools to improve nutrition and physical activity at their school and for their own health. It encourages youth to consume nutrient-rich foods (including low-fat and fat-free dairy, fruits, vegetables, and whole grains) and achieve at least 60 minutes of physical activity every day.
The newly created Gen YOUth Foundation will give leaders in health, business, and government the opportunity to partner with communities to be part of a movement to reverse childhood obesity rates. One of the key programs will continue to be the "Fuel Up to Play 60" program. Alexis Glick, a former Fox Business executive and Today Show host, financial executive, and mother of three will help head up the Gen YOUth Foundation. The Foundation will be governed by a board of directors with a great deal of experience in the private and public sector including professionals from health, business, academic, sports, and culinary organizations.

Preston's fledgling Owls look to show what they can do
firstname.lastname@example.com The Marietta Daily Journal
Read more: The Marietta Daily Journal
KENNESAW — Kennesaw State's men's basketball should win more games this season.
After stumbling to a 3-28 finish in Lewis Preston's first year as coach, the Owls' upcoming season is expecting to have a much different outcome, and there's plenty working in their favor to produce better results.
"One of the things I tell the guys is that it's about the results," Preston said. "It's not always guaranteed, but if you put the work in and are willing to translate it into 40 minutes, you'll have a chance to get the results that you want."
The one crucial thing the Owls have on their side is that they have three returning starters with a year in Preston's system. They're also a year older and are expecting to be a year stronger after a tumultuous offseason.
Senior guard Markeith Cummings was named to the Atlantic Sun's preseason all-conference team after averaging 15.4 points and 5.4 rebounds last season. Meanwhile, sophomore Delbert Love is coming off a stellar debut in which he averaged 12.4 points and was an all-freshman team member in the A-Sun.
Kennesaw State's leading defender, senior Aaron Anderson, is also back after leading the A-Sun with 9.0 rebounds a game.
Junior forwards Brandon Dawson and Andrew Osemhen are veterans who have contributed as starters and reserves, and they could also be starters inside the paint when the season gets under way Nov. 9 at Southeastern Conference power Tennessee.
"We know that, if we want to win, we have to win this year," Anderson said. "We don't want to go out with a bad taste in our mouth. We want to do it for the freshmen and set the tone for them."
Kennesaw State's one key loss was former Kennesaw Mountain High School standout Spencer Dixon, who averaged 13.4 points a game last season.
One positive for the Owls is that they will no longer have to contend with last year's A-Sun champion, with Belmont having left for the Ohio Valley Conference. In the Bears' place came Northern Kentucky from the Division II Great Lakes Valley Conference.
Kennesaw State, which was picked to finish last in the A-Sun coaches' Poll, will still have its hands full with in-state rival Mercer, which was picked to win the conference. USC Upstate, Florida Gulf Coast and North Florida rounded out the top four.
"I'm excited about the fact that we're continuing to get better each day," Preston said. "I'm hoping we can fly under the radar screen a little bit, and I am excited about every team we play."
In an attempt to improve its win total and avoid another winless record in conference play, Preston recruited five freshmen who should either contribute this year.
Freshman Yonel Brown comes to Kennesaw State after scoring 1,299 career points and making 154 3-pointers for Berkmar High School in Lawrenceville.
Love will be reunited with Myles Hamilton, his former teammate at Cleveland's St. Edward High School, and freshman guard Cole Hobbs of Greater Atlanta Christian School in Norcross can be a scoring threat. Two freshman forwards, Jordan Montgomery and Nigel Pruitt, are showing they can be solid defenders.
"Our freshmen, I think they're swimming a little bit," Preston said. "A couple of them might be close to drowning, but I think they still have their life preservers on with the amount of stuff we're throwing at them."
The Owls also added Auburn transfers Bernard Morena and Willy Kouassi, but the Ivory Coast natives will have to sit out the 2012-13 season because of NCAA transfer rules.
Another strenuous non-conference schedule is on tap to help gear the Kennesaw State up for conference play, and it all starts with Tennessee. The Volunteers — led by former McEachern High star Trae Golden — made the National Invitation Tournament last year.
The Owls will also travel to a pair of Big East Confence schools — Notre Dame and Pittsburgh — in December.
After an exhibition with Piedmont on Thursday, Kennesaw State won't play its first regular-season home game until Georgia Southern visits Nov. 21. The Owls will also host Chattanooga and Charlotte before A-Sun play begins Dec. 31 at home against Florida Gulf Coast.
"There is newfound energy on this team, and we're all excited about the season," Osemhen said. "Every game, we want to come out and work hard, make the crowd happy and, hopefully, come out with a 'W.'"

I will own it until it dies...
by Mom of 3 from Swords Creek, VA | April 22, 2014
I bought this 2005 Mazda MPV in March of 2005 and have driven it since. Very low maintenance. My only complaint is the continuously running fan, which I think was recalled on earlier models. Still the most reliable vehicle I have ever owned.

Wish they would bring it back!
by MPV = Mom's Personal Vehicle from Massachusetts | March 19, 2012
I drove my 2000 Mazda MPV with the seating for seven for 11 years. I loved that car, and it had over 157,000 miles on it; and was so disappointed that Mazda changed the car after 2006! So I spent months looking for a low mileage 2005 or 2006 MPV. Finally found one and although it's not perfect (it came with a few problems and a few minor rust spots and a few dings that I don't think were there when we took it out for our "test drive"), I'm so happy to have another MPV! I sure do wish Mazda would go back to making this seven seater model again - it's a "mini size mini-van"!

We purchased our 2005 Mazda MPV LX in November of 2005 and have not had any problems. It takes regular gas and can haul 7 people - plus it gets 25 MPG on the highway. A good looking, functional vehicle that doesn't damage the pocketbook...

Great Family Car

Needed more room with 2 kids. 3rd row seating great when driving friends or grandparents with us. Good headroom and leg room in front seats especially with a 6'2 husband. Heat/cooling works fast. Handles well in all weather. Small stearing radius lets you get into the small parking spots. Overall a great car for the price.

Good van, good value
by R.W. from Beloit, WI | March 11, 2008
We've owned the van for 3 years. Overall its been a good vehicle. The seats are pretty comfortable, even on longer trips and the engine is powerful enough as long as its not on a steep upgrade, then it loses some punch. I probably wouldn't plan on towing much with it though. The biggest negative for us has been interior space. We have 3 kids now and will have to start looking at bigger vans to get everyone in along with all of the things we need to take for longer getaways. If you're a family of 4 this is a very good van to have!

MIKE BONNICKSEN/Wenatchee World
LEAVENWORTH, Wash. (AP)
To Russ Ricketts and Matt Collins, North Central Washington is a snorkeling mecca.
�It�s like there�s art under water,� said Collins. �There are old-growth Douglas fir or cedar trees that have fallen in the water and been there 40 or 50 years. Now there�s all this life that�s clung to it, insects and algae and all kinds of things.�
Said Ricketts, �You�re swimming through sandstone that�s been eroded away by the river and it forms this giant, swirling landscape.�
And then, there�s the wildlife.
�It�s like bird-watching, but I�m fish-watching, and I�m floating right past animals � I saw a deer and a cougar the last time I went � because you don�t have a profile; you�re just a face in the water.�
The two Leavenworth men do this all year. Wet suits are imperative, they say, whether it�s winter or summer, because the river temperature changes a only few degrees between seasons.
�It�s really a matter of air temperature, what you�re breathing in,� said Collins.
Collins, 42, is a fish biologist who works for the Yakama Nation. He snorkels rivers as part of his job, which is assessing the fisheries.
In August 2008, Collins went snorkeling for fun, and brought along Ricketts, 40, who works part of the year in the oil fields in Alaska. Their destination was the Wenatchee River in Tumwater Canyon.
�It was spectacular,� Ricketts said. �We saw all these fish, and you�re right in there with them.�
While Collins remained an occasional river snorkeler for fun, Ricketts became addicted. He said he snorkeled 135 days in 2012, with about 40 of those days being in the winter.
�It�s just crazy fun and good times,� he said.
You won�t find Ricketts or Collins in the Wenatchee or the Icicle rivers during spring runoff, though. The water is too fast and high.
That�s when they head to the backcountry for float time on small streams.
�The real beauty of nature is in the backwater,� Ricketts said. �That�s where the little fish are being reared. The little creeks are just cool.�
During lower-water times, the men enjoy a favorite hole in Tumwater Canyon.
�It�s a large pool above a big waterfall, and when the salmon make it to the pool, they rest there,� Collins said. �There can be 50 to 60 chinook in the pool for you to look at. It�s pretty dramatic, and then there�s the immense presence of the mountains when you come out.
�One minute, your head is in the water and you�re looking at steelhead or rainbow trout. Then you pick your head out of the water and you�re looking at the Big Dipper. It�s the grand scale of things. It kind of makes you feel humble.�
Besides fish, there are interesting items in the rivers. The men have found lots of fishing lures, old bottles and long discarded car bodies.
�Nothing is rare, and it�s not worth anything, but it�s fun to find,� Ricketts said.
Ricketts encourages people to snorkel local rivers with a buddy. And, he said, both should be good swimmers and have a serious respect for rivers and streams.
�There are obvious hazards, like drowning,� Ricketts said.
Among the potential problems are rocks, stumps, logs and dangerous hydraulics.
�The river never stops,� Collins said. �If something bad happens, you�re stuck.�
So far, both men say, they�ve been lucky. No close calls for them.
�We�re not a couple of knuckleheads out there in whitewater,� Collins said.
Ricketts� wife, Leah, occasionally snorkels with him, but only in the summer.
�It used to worry me, but now I just think it�s kind of nutty,� she said.
Ricketts said he knows that river snorkeling will never become a popular sport, and that�s OK with him.
�It�s cold and it�s wet and it can be miserable and it can be scary,� he said. �We�re swimming in mountain rivers. This is not for everybody.�

EAST LIVERPOOL - An early morning fire Thursday that destroyed a Waterloo Street home sent one teenage resident to the hospital with what fire officials deemed as minor injuries.
Owner Carol Geer and her twin 16-year-old daughters were home at 1050 Waterloo St. when one of the girls noticed a fire in the kitchen sometime after 2 a.m.
She woke up her mother and sister and all three managed to escape, but assistant Chief Tim Walker said one of the girls suffered slight smoke inhalation and very minor burns to her face, although how that occurred was not immediately reported.
She was transported to East Liverpool City Hospital by Lifeteam ambulance. The girls were not named in reports.
The alarm was received at the fire station at 2:19 a.m., and the four firefighters on duty arrived at 2:20 a.m. to find the two-story structure fully involved.
A third alarm sounded at 2:22 a.m. brought out an additional six firefighters to battle the blaze, which Walker said was brought under control by 5:38 a.m.
Firefighters remained on the scene until 6:48 a.m., but Walker said the house was a total loss. In addition, a vacant structure next door had the roof and vinyl siding damaged by the intense heat.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation by assistant Chief Jeff Kreefer, who was the officer in charge.
The Red Cross was called to assist the family, and Walker was uncertain from reports whether or not the home was insured.

She knew since she was in high school she wanted to be an English teacher; now, Ruth Wahlstrom has taught in the English department at Heidelberg University for more than 40 years and has decided to retire.
Along the way, she became the longest-tenured female faculty member in university history.
Wahlstrom arrived at Heidelberg in 1969. Then, teachers were in demand due to the large number of people attending college.
Article Photos
"I didn't know I would be teaching this many years," Wahlstrom said. "I had no goal in mind."
Over the years, she has seen a many changes, including the improvements to the campus.
"It is a real pleasant place," she said.
Wahlstrom recalls remembering most names from her classes. She said she may not remember them all now, but she has grade books she has kept from every class she taught.
From beginning at Heidelberg, Wahlstrom said there was one moment that always sticks out: the time of the Kent State shootings in 1970.
Wahlstrom said students were given the option to stay and complete the final exams or leave with the grade they had.
"I look at the grade books from that time, and they are in chaos from my notes of students either staying or leaving," Wahlstrom said. "As a teacher during that time, I learned that with that moment, I was prepared for anything."
Wahlstrom has taught several literature classes, such as courses in Canadian literature, Irish literature and British humor. She
doesn't have one favorite class, though; she said her favorite is whatever course she is teaching at the time.
"I feel privileged to have had a career where one can immerse themselves into literature," Wahlstrom said. "Learning is the most exciting thing to do. I encourage students to have a joy to dig into a variety of different topics."
"Ruth Wahlstrom is the consummate professional in and outside the classroom," said fellow English professor David Kimmel. "For me, she represents the standard by which dedication to the university, to its faculty and to its students is measured."
Wahlstrom said she will spend most of her time reading for pleasure and traveling. She has traveled to many countries, including France, South Africa, Cuba and India.
She has no plans to leave Tiffin, though.
"I have too many books to think about moving," Wahlstrom said. "I will miss the people and meeting a new batch of freshmen each semester."
Wahlstrom will still teach a class this coming fall.
"I've devoted my life to my classes, so I'll have to discover what life is like without them," she said.

Tuesday, May 14, 2013
North Charleston, S.C./ May 10, 2013 – After an analysis of national data, covering the period from January 1, 2012 through December 31, 2012, the Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) awarded Trident Medical Center its highest possible rating of 3-Stars. To put that in perspective, this score is earned by only 15% of all eligible hospitals. The STS score is calculated using a combination of 11 measures of quality. The composite score is a single number or rating that summarizes all available information about the quality of care delivered by a hospital. "The STS results are based on clinical outcomes and place Trident Medical Center in the top 15 percent of hospitals in the country with heart surgery programs," said James Benner, MD of Palmetto Cardiothoracic Associates, and the medical director of the Trident Health Cardiovascular Surgery program. "The STS Database is the oldest and most established registry measuring quality in healthcare, more established than any other database that evaluates quality in other branches of medicine," said Allison Walters, RN, Cardiovascular Service Line Administrator for Trident Health. "Patients needing heart surgery should ask their surgeon and the hospital if they participate in the STS database and what their results are." "The rating reflected in the STS data is the result of a team effort," said James Benner, MD. "Everyone involved in patient care – the cardiovascular team in the OR, the intensive care unit and other nursing units, the cardiac catheterization lab, respiratory therapy, the Trident medical staff, the blood bank – all are part of the team that provides quality outcomes. It truly reflects the excellent work and commitment to our patients at Trident Medical Center." Trident Health is an HCA hospital system comprised of two acute care hospitals – Trident Medical Center and Summerville Medical Center – as well as Moncks Corner Medical Center. The Joint Commission recently named Trident Health to their list of the nation's top hospitals for quality and safety. In 2012, Trident Health provided almost $40 million in charity and uncompensated care and contributed $27 million in taxes. Accredited by The Joint Commission, Trident Health is committed to providing quality health services along with wellness information and opportunities to the communities it serves.

Lot # 952 (of 1594) < Previous Lot | Next Lot >
Circa 1963 Exhibit Card Vending Machine
Starting Bid - $200.00, Sold For - $470.00
Early 1960s Exhibit card vending machine is designed to dispense one card for two pennies. Produced by the Exhibit Supply Company, the countertop machine (10 x 11.5 x 30.5 inches) includes the colorful top panel marquee that reads "Big League Baseball-Pictures With Individual Records-Get 'Em Here 1 Card 2c." Within the glass-enclosed front panel is a window display featuring six circa 1963 Exhibit cards, which hopefully would entice youngsters to take their chance to try to get their favorite star. The cards featured in the window are Norm Cash, Art Mahaffey, Steve Barber, Ray Herbert, Ron Santo, and Joe Cunningham. While the machine implicitly advertises for the set featuring the Exhibit cards displayed in the window, these machines were intended to be used for many years, and it is likely this machine saw service in prior years as well. This is, however, a particularly interesting machine, as it is a very late model for Exhibit Supply Company machines. This can be seen not just from the cards in the window, and the style of the machine, but also because it is designed to accept two pennies for a single card, as opposed to one penny. Exhibit cards were traditionally sold for one penny each, from vending machines placed at arcades and amusement parks for more than four decades (from 1921 to the early 1960s). When the company fell on hard times in the early 1960s, they tried many strategies to stay afloat, most notably issuing cards in cello packs. Apparently, they also experimented with charging two cents for each card in their vending machines as well. These efforts were not successful, as the decline of the fortunes of the company accelerated, and the traditional Exhibit card sets finally ceased to be issued sometime in the mid 1960s. This machine is one of the last of its kind, a tangible reminder of the last days of The Exhibit Supply Company, one of the greatest, most important, and longest-running issuers of cards in history. The interior of this machine has been stocked with 119 reprint cards (produced in the early 1970s) from the "Baseball's Great Hall of Fame" Exhibit card series. The keys for both the front panel and interior coin receptacle are included with the machine. The cards on display can be changed if desired. The exterior displays heavy wear (commensurate with its age and years of former use) including minor abrasions, scratches and adhesive residue. Reserve $200. Estimate $400/$600. SOLD FOR $470.00

OLCOTT – Olcott firefighters have received citations from local officials for their rescue of seven passengers from a 16-foot motorboat that sank in Lake Ontario last summer.
Two adults and five children were saved July 2 after their boat went down more than a half-mile offshore. The rescuers utilized GPS coordinates provided by a mobile phone used by one of the victims to locate the group, and brought them to safety within minutes.
The four rescuers were Olcott Chief Steven Miller, Assistant Chief Scott Gunby, and firefighters Rhonda Kreiger and Robert Dierolf.
They received citations from Niagara County Legislator John Syracuse and Newfane Councilmen Marcus R. Hall and Gordon H. Fletcher III, who also presented posthumous citations honoring Joseph McKernan and Egbert "Brud" Hamminga, firefighters who would have been recognized for 65 years of service to the Olcott Fire Company. Both died earlier this year.

TAHOE/TRUCKEE — If the cold winter weather has got you down, brighten up your day with fresh, sweet oranges. Oranges and citrus fruit are in season and can be found taking over the produce department this time of year. With all the varieties of oranges available you may be left wondering what makes each type of orange unique.
Here are juicy citrus facts:
Navel oranges are the most common variety of oranges. They are seedless, have thick skins, peel easily and are a classic orange size with a dimple on the non-stem end. Navel oranges are sweet and juicy however, their juice ferments easily, so use immediately.
Valencia oranges are small to medium in size, have thin skins, few seeds, and are very juicy; making them the perfect orange for juicing.
Blood oranges, often called Moro, are famous for their deep-red flesh. They sport thin, reddish-orange skin and flesh that varies in color from pink to deep red. Moros are less acidic than other orange varieties and taste sweet and berry-like, making them best for eating rather than juicing. Blood oranges are more uncommon and are be found at specialty markets and on occasion grocery stores.
Cara Cara oranges are a type of navel orange with red or pink fruit. They have exceptionally sweet flavor with cherry undertones and a tart cranberry-like zing. Cara Cara oranges make colorful and flavorful additions to beverages or salad dressings.
Tangerines are smaller in size and have looser peels than oranges. They have bright orange skins and have a sweeter, brighter taste than traditional oranges making them great for a quick breakfast or addition to salads.
Clementines, often called "cuties," are very small oranges and similar to tangerines in appearance. Due to their small size, thin and easy to peel skin, and sweet honey-like flavor, clementines are perfect for snacking and lend themselves to both savory and sweet dishes.
Mandarins are a variety of tangerines that contain seeds. While many people enjoy mandarins from a can, fresh mandarins have a wonderful mild, sweet flavor.

And then there were nine.
Two recruits decommitted, while one reaffirmed his place in Penn State's 2013 recruiting class on Tuesday.
The biggest loss was five-star offensive tackle Dorian Johnson of Belle Vernon. The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reported he will look at Pitt, Ohio State and Virginia Tech - it was considered a mild surprise when he originally committed to the Nittany Lions over the Panthers.
Earlier in the day, several Internet sources reported that Maryland linebacker Zach Bradshaw also had withdrawn from the class. It had been rumored for several days that Bradshaw was likely to decommit.
They are the fourth and fifth players to have committed to Penn State in this class and change their minds. New Jersey defensive tackle Greg Webb started the trend when he flipped to North Carolina.
Ohio cornerback Ross Douglas and Philadephia receiver Will Fuller followed suit after the NCAA unveiled its penalties against the football program in light of the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandal and the Freeh Report.
Central Dauphin linebacker Zayd Issah still is part of the class but is considered likely to bolt now that he has a scholarship offer from childhood favorite Oregon. He is supposed to visit with Nittany Lion coach Bill O'Brien in the coming days.
The Lions did get some good news on Tuesday when New Jersey linebacker Brandon Bell reaffirmed his commitment to Penn State following a visit and meeting with the coaches.

Its National Library Week! Go kiss a librarian. Or not--s/he might not appreciate being smooched at the circulation desk. Maybe we should take them cupcakes. Or hug it out. Or both.
In case you cant tell, I love me some librarians. And libraries. For me, going to a library is a lot like going to church, except I dont wear yoga pants to church.
National Library Week, sponsored by the American Library Association, is a great time to A) Acknowledge the contributions of libraries and librarians (cupcakes!) and B) Promote library use and support.
How can you support your local library? Volunteer. Donate money. Urge your local officials to support library funding. Share your time, skills and enthusiasm. Join the Friends of the Library. Cull your home library and donate your surplus titles to the annual FOTL book sale. In short, do anything you can think of to keep your local library afloat. Because libraries offer much more than childrens story hour (although thats important. Keep reading.)
Ninety-two percent of libraries offer classes in basic computer skills. You can also attend financial seminars, historical lectures and forums on everything from climbing mountains to raising calla lilies.
A thriving library system is a hallmark of a vibrant community. According to www.statestats.org, two-thirds of all Americans have a library cardand libraries offer more than 2 million educational programs for children each year. Thats a lot of literate little kids running around. And thats a happy thought.
Libraries are important job-network centers, providing free Internet access to employment databases, whichwait for it--helps people get employed.
Libraries provide a link between government and citizens by helping users access public Web sites, and apply online for e-services. You can find out when local government meetings are scheduled, and pick up income tax forms.
Back to National Library Week. The first observance was in 1958. The theme was Wake Up and Read! a sentiment I endorse, although I prefer Take a Bath and Read! Skip Housework and Read! and Eat Pie and Read!
I grew up with three siblings on a dirt road in the middle of nowhere, and Mom taught us all to read before first grade. (There was no kindergarten in the Dark Ages.) But heres the thing: When you teach children to love reading, they demand reading materials. That was a tough gig on a tight budget, but she canned vegetables and sewed our clothes and made it happen. She bought us picture books and Little Golden Books, encyclopedias and the Child Craft series, plus Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys.
The best part was this: One at a time, as we grew up, we were driven to the Onslow County Library to get our very own library card. It blew my mind that I could check out a stack of books for free. It didnt seem possible. And Mom, God bless her, drove us to that library every Saturday without fail.
And so we read, me most of all. I read in bed, at the table and up in the maple tree. I read in the car, in the barn, in the tub. Some books made such an impact that I spent a small fortune buying early editions 40 years later. No-one else may understand why I display a frayed color-illustrated copy of Misty of Chincoteague in my house, but no-one else needs to.
Heres how this story ends. I kept reading, earned an English degree, worked in print journalism and lived happily ever after. And I still go to the library, not because I have children, but because of what Ill find: Knowledge. Excitement. Joy.
See ya there.

KAUFMAN, Texas — Authorities are investigating whether the killing of a Texas county prosecutor earlier this year is linked to the slaying of Colorado's prison director.
Kaufman police chief Chris Aulbaugh said Friday the FBI is checking to see if the January shooting death of Kaufman County Assistant District Attorney Mark Hasse is connected to Tuesday's killing of prison chief Tom Clements.
Hasse was killed about 100 miles away from where former Colorado inmate and white supremacist Evan Spencer Ebel died Thursday after a shootout with deputies.
Aulbaugh calls the investigation routine for attacks that appear similar. Both targeted law enforcement officials. Authorities have investigated whether Hasse's death could be linked to a white supremacist gang.
Investigators are trying to piece together whether Ebel killed Clements and a pizza delivery man, and where he was headed when Texas police tried to pull him over.
Ebel, 28, was a Colorado parolee with a long record of convictions since 2003 for various crimes including assaulting a prison guard in 2008. Denver police Friday said they were "confident" he was involved in the death of Nathan Leon, 27, the pizza man whose body was found Sunday.
Authorities also are trying to determine whether the black Cadillac Ebel drove was the same seen outside the home of Clements, the prison official, who was shot and killed when he answered the door Tuesday evening. Texas authorities spotted the car Thursday and gave chase after Ebel shot and wounded a deputy. They fatally shot him after he crashed into a semi and opened fire on his pursuers.
Texas authorities officially confirmed his identity Friday morning.
Ebel was a member of a white supremacist prison gang called the 211s, a federal law enforcement official told The Associated Press. The official was not authorized to speak publicly about the case and spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity.
Ebel is not on the radar of the Southern Poverty Law Center, which tracks extremist groups, but the center rates the gang as one of the most vicious white supremacist groups operating in the nation's prisons, comparable to the Aryan Brotherhood of Texas. Founded in 1995 to protect white prisoners from attacks, it operates only in Colorado and has anywhere from between a couple hundred to 1,000 members, senior fellow Mark Potok said Friday.
The gang has grown into a sophisticated criminal enterprise where members are assigned military titles like "general" and extort money from fellow prisoners, regardless of race. Released members are expected to make money to support those still in prison, Potok said. He said members have to attack someone to get in and can only get out by dying.
"It's blood in and blood out," he said.
In 2005, 32 members were indicted for racketeering and the gang's founder, Benjamin Davis, was sentenced to over 100 years in prison.
The killing of Clements, 58, shocked his quiet neighborhood in Monument, a town of rolling hills north of Colorado Springs, for its brutality: He answered the door of his home Tuesday evening and was gunned down. Authorities wouldn't say if they thought the attack was related to his job, and all Clements' recent public activities and cases were scrutinized.
The Texas car chase started when a sheriff's deputy in Montague County, James Boyd, tried to pull over the Cadillac around 11 a.m. Thursday, authorities there said. They wouldn't say exactly why he was stopped, but called it routine.
The driver opened fire on Boyd, wounding him, Wise County Sheriff David Walker said at an afternoon news conference in Decatur. He then fled south before crashing into a semi as he tried to elude his pursuers.
After the crash, he got out of the vehicle, shooting at deputies and troopers who had joined the chase. He shot at Decatur Police Chief Rex Hoskins four times as the chief tried to set up a roadblock.
"He wasn't planning on being taken alive," Hoskins said.
Boyd, the deputy who was shot, was wearing a bulletproof vest and was at a Fort Worth hospital, authorities said. Officials had said he wasn't seriously injured but later said his condition was unknown.
Legal records show Ebel was convicted of several crimes in Colorado dating back to 2003, including assaulting a prison guard in 2008. He apparently was paroled, but Colorado Department of Corrections spokeswoman Alison Morgan said she could not release information on prisoners because of the ongoing investigation into Clements' death.
Scott Robinson, a criminal defense attorney and media legal analyst, represented Ebel in 2003 and 2004. He said Ebel had been sentenced to a halfway house for a robbery charge in 2003 before he was accused in two additional robbery cases the following year that garnered prison sentences of three and eight years.
"I thought he was a young man who was redeemable, otherwise I wouldn't have taken the case," Robinson said, saying he didn't recall the details of the case.
Robinson said he knew Ebel before he got in trouble. He said Ebel was raised by a single father and had a younger sister who died in a car accident years ago.
Vicky Bankey said Ebel was in his teens when she lived across from him in suburban Denver until his father moved a couple of years ago. She remembers seeing Ebel once jump off the roof of his house. "He was a handful. I'd see him do some pretty crazy things," she said.
"He had a hair-trigger temper as a kid. But his dad was so nice," Bankey said.
Ebel's father didn't return an after-hours phone message left at his business.
Clements came to Colorado in 2011 after working three decades in the Missouri prison system. Missouri Department of Corrections spokeswoman Mandi Steele said Thursday the department was ready to help in the probe if asked.
The last public official killed in Colorado in the past 10 years was Sean May, a prosecutor in suburban Denver. An assailant killed May as he arrived home from work. Investigators examined May's court cases, but the case remains unsolved.

If recruiting was an actual football game, Penn State would be in the red zone.
The only question now is whether the Nittany Lions punch it in for a touchdown or settle for a field goal.
The commitments of five-star defensive tackle Tommy Schutt and four-star players Eugene Lewis (receiver) and Armani Reeves (cornerback) last week have the Lions inching toward the top 10 in the national rankings.
"It's great for the class to get those guys,'' said Ryan Snyder, a recruiting analyst for Rivals.com affiliate BlueWhite Illustrated. "Tommy Schutt was somewhat of a surprise, and he really is the big addition here - 26th in the nation, one of the best defensive tackles in the class. That's really a top grab.''
Snyder thinks there is a better than 50 percent chance that Connecticut defensive back Malik Golden will commit during or soon after he visits Penn State this week. That would put Penn State at 17 pledges in a class Snyder expects to eventually number 23.
Seven of those already committed carry four-star or better ratings from at least one major scouting website. It's quite possible the Lions could double that number with the players remaining on their board.
Five-star defensive end Noah Spence has Penn State in his recently announced top seven. Five-star defensive tackle Jarron Jones, who once was committed to Penn State, has the Lions in his final four, and most think he'll eventually pick Penn State or Notre Dame. Kent Taylor, the top-ranked tight end in the country, has Penn State in his top four, possibly in his top two with Florida.
Spence, from Harrisburg Bishop McDevitt, has made several trips to Penn State, including one on Friday. His father, Greg, has made several glowing comments about Penn State in recent interviews.
"I think that any school right now would want to be in Penn State's shoes,'' Snyder said regarding Spence. "I can't stress enough how [Lion assistant coach] Larry Johnson, his personality and what he stands for as far as not only being a great player but having the academics and being a great character and being a good person stands out to the Spence family. That's where Penn State has its biggest advantage.''
Electrifying quarterback/receiver/defensive back Devin Fuller recently unveiled his 11 finalists, safety De'metrious Cox his 10 finalists, receiver Joel Caleb his nine finalists and running back William Mahone his four finalists. All are four star prospects. All still have the Lions in the mix, probably in the top two for Mahone and Cox, who was expected to be at Penn State on Sunday but reportedly had to cancel the visit.
In addition, four-star receiver Jordan Payton from California recently reported receiving a scholarship offer from the Lions and set up a visit for November. Meanwhile, four-star receiver Canaan Severin has Penn State in his top five and expecting to visit for the Alabama game, and four-star receiver/defensive back Cyrus Jones, long known to be enamored with Alabama, still is looking at the Lions.
Finally, the Lions are still in the running for four-star defensive end Faith Ekakitie and probably would have a great shot of getting four-star DT Jamil Pollard back on board if they re-offered his scholarship - they pulled it after he committed to Penn State because of academic concerns.
"I think Jamil Pollard is possibly even a better talent than Jarron Jones. If he can get the academic issues straightened out, I think they'll save a spot for him,'' Snyder said. "I know Pollard loves Penn State. He wants to be a Nittany Lion.''
The Lions have excellent shots at Virginia safety Mike Tyson and Buffalo running back Akeel Lynch as well. Tyson has the Lions and Virginia ahead of Virginia Tech. Lynch, although recently committed to Boston College, seems set to visit Penn State after ironing out some miscommunication with the Lions coaches.
With Reeves and Lewis on board, running back is the key area left to address in this class. After not signing one in February, Penn State is believed to be in the market for a pair of backs, with Mahone, who also has Notre Dame, Pitt and Michigan State left on his list, leading the way.
However, the Lions aren't involved with many RBs beyond that. Lynch committed to BC when he thought Penn State had stopped recruiting him, and the Lions haven't offered Illinois' David Smith or Georgia's Kenno Loyal yet despite their apparent interest. Five-star Bri'onte Dunn visited Penn State last month but is maintaining a verbal commitment to Ohio State unless the Buckeyes are hit hard by NCAA sanctions; even if they were, Penn State probably would need to overtake Michigan.
The Lions have had an on-again, off-again relationship with Drew Harris of Downingtown West.
"They need two. If you look at the roster, they need two. Do I see them getting two solid running backs right now? No,'' Snyder said.
Snyder thought the odds were good that Lynch would switch his soft Boston College verbal to a solid Penn State verbal once he attended a Nittany Lion game. However, Snyder's caveat was that Mahone choosing Penn State could adversely affect the Lions' chances with Lynch, who has put a great deal of weight on getting on the field early.
It means Penn State might have to wait until after the season to target a second running back.
Having gotten so much of their recruiting done early has allowed Penn State to begin working on 2013 already. Cedar Cliff rising junior tight end Adam Breneman, a similar player to Taylor, made a trip to University Park late last week, and the Lions already are reputed to have extended several verbal offers, something they haven't done much in recent years, including to 220-pound Richmond running back Derrick Green.
As it looks now, Penn State might have a problem everyone wishes they could have - too much of a good thing. Snyder said he expects Penn State to try to round out this class with at least two defensive backs, two running backs and probably two more defensive linemen, but, with so many good players still on their board, that could change, even if they take some players at positions that aren't of dire need.
"They're definitely holding a space for Kent Taylor,'' Snyder said. "If Kent Taylor were to commit, and Pollard and Jones were still open, I think one of them would be done. Kent Taylor is like the wild card in that situation, and I think they would definitely save a spot for Taylor and definitely save a spot for Noah.''

|Magnetic Vortex Core Reversal by Low-Field Excitations
In micrometer-sized magnetic thin films, the magnetization typically adopts an in-plane, circular configuration known as a magnetic vortex. At the vortex core, the magnetization turns sharply out of the plane, pointing either up or down. Magnetic data storage based on this binary phenomenon is an intriguing concept, but it would require the ability to flip the vortex cores on demand. Because these structures are highly stable, very strong magnetic fields of around half a tesla (approximately one-third the field of the strongest permanent magnet) were previously thought to be necessary to accomplish this. At the ALS, a team of researchers from Germany, Belgium, and the U.S. has used time-resolved scanning transmission x-ray microscopy (STXM) to observe vortex motion and demonstrate the feasibility of using weak magnetic fields as low as 1.5 millitesla (mT) to reverse the direction of a vortex core. The observed switching mechanism, which can be understood within the framework of micromagnetic theory, gives insights into basic magnetization dynamics and their possible application to data storage technologies.
In magnetic thin films, magnetostatic interactions usually force the magnetization to lie parallel to the film plane. When further constrained to an area of about a square micrometer or less, the magnetic moments will form rotationally symmetric patterns that follow closed flux lines. At the center, the tightly wound magnetization cannot lie flat, because the short-range exchange interaction favors a parallel alignment of neighboring magnetic moments. The direction of the out-of-plane component is defined as the polarization of the vortex core. Moreover, the vortex structure can be set into gyrotropic motion by the application of a small magnetic field, and the sense of the gyration (clockwise or counterclockwise) is determined by the vortex core polarization. Thus, a change in the sense of gyration unambiguously indicates a change in the vortex core polarization.
In this experiment, the researchers applied a small (0.1-mT) sinusoidal magnetic field to induce gyrotropic motion in a square Permalloy (Ni80Fe20) sample. The excitation frequency was set at 250 MHz, close to the resonance frequency of the system (about 244 MHz) derived from micromagnetic simulations. The excitation field was synchronized with flashes of circularly polarized x rays from ALS Beamline 11.0.2 to produce dynamic STXM images, with x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) providing the contrast mechanism. A short (4-ns) burst of 1.5 mT was applied, superimposed on the weak alternating field. The results show that the vortex core follows an elliptical trajectory, and a change in the sense of the gyration (and thus the vortex core polarization) can be clearly seen after the burst.
This vortex core switching, observed experimentally for the first time, was also reproduced by micromagnetic simulations. The simulations show that the burst distorts the out-of-plane vortex structure and creates a region of opposite out-of-plane magnetization at the edge of the original vortex core. This opposite magnetization grows and eventually splits into a vortex–antivortex pair with equal polarizations. The newly formed vortex and antivortex move apart, and the antivortex moves toward the original vortex. When the antivortex meets the original vortex, they annihilate each other, emitting spin waves in the process, until only one vortex, having a reversed polarization, remains in the structure.
These results show that properly tuned bursts of only 4 ns can be used to switch the polarization of a vortex core. Because the resonance frequency of the gyrotropic mode scales inversely with the lateral dimensions, much shorter pulses should be sufficient for switching the core polarization of smaller elements. Although their practical realization is still far off, data storage systems based on this core-switching scheme could have several advantages, including high thermal stability, insensitivity to external static fields, and minimal crosstalk between neighboring patterns, all of which are indispensable features for ultrahigh-density magnetic storage devices.

A continuing problem in a culture and society that says people have no actual value, but instead are just a bunch of random, monkey-made molecules...
Without a Higher Authority who lovingly designed man for a purpose and relationship, it is all meaningless.
More and more young people see that in their hearts...and the future will only grow worse until we have a spiritual revival. May the Lord have mercy and comfort these families.

If I had the resources to build one, I'd buy and old warehouse and build a tunnel and backstop. Would be the most simple provided the space.
I went to an indoor 100 yard once and it was interesting. It was a gun store with a basement. It appeared they dug a 4 lane trench 100 yards long and poured concrete for the lanes. The topped it with spancrete. It was all underground with a trap door at the targets for service. You shot from the basement under the store. They had nice electronic targets. They spent some money, it was nice!
Here are pics when I shot my M44 there.

Thank you to the replies. It gives me some things to start thinking about.

There is such a range in Wichita KS at the Bullseye shooting range. They claim it is the only one in the Midwest. It's four lanes, about half buried and half topped with concrete and was built several years ago by the former owner of the range. It has recently been remodeled so the current owner might be able to give you some information about how it is constructed.

A 20-year-old Buffalo man was sentenced Wednesday to eight years in prison for robbing a man at gunpoint last November and then minutes later forcing himself sexually on a woman.
Erie County Judge Kenneth F. Case also sentenced Jesse Buchanan, of Woltz Avenue, to 10 years of post-release supervision.
Buchanan last month pleaded guilty to first-degree robbery and first-degree criminal sexual act, according to the Erie County District Attorney's Office.
Buchanan was linked to the crimes by DNA evidence.
Buchanan admitted robbing the man near East Delavan Avenue and Suffolk Street and then committing the sex crime about a block away.
He had faced a maximum prison sentence of 25 years on each count, according the District Attorney's Office.
