MORGANTOWN - It certainly was wonderful to hear from Willie Akers last weekend that he feels good and has been showing daily improvement.
The former West Virginia University basketball star of the late 1950s was seriously injured last Feb 13 in a damaging fall at the Charleston Civic Center Coliseum.
Watching his grandson play basketball, Akers tripped at the end of the playing floor, collapsed backwards and fell on his face.
"If you'd seen me a couple of months ago, you wouldn't have believed that I felt good," said Willie, who has been in his Logan home for six weeks.
He had been hospitalized in the Shepherd Institute at Atlanta, Ga., for 93 days of treatment.
"I was walking and started talking and tripped over the edge of the court, an inch and a half high or so, apparently I fell backwards face down," he said of his terrible misfortune.
It was a week to 10 days before he was conscious of what had happened to him.
He fractured six vertebrae which had to have repaired in West Virginia and then an ambulance transported him to Atlanta for his lengthy spell of hospitalization there.
Willie's wonderful wife Linda has been at his side constantly since the mishap.
Happily in his home now, the Mullens native is walking in a walker with a couple of wheels and he's walking with a cane and props.
"I am making a lot of progress," Akers said. "But my right thigh and my right leg are still paralyzed.
"I'm also affected by my right shoulder and hand, but they're improving quite a bit."
Akers said he has been told by doctors that "it's a 50-50 chance that I probably won't be able to walk."
He believes he's past that now, however, and would love to prove that projection wrong.
Akers is grateful that people at WVU "have been wonderful" during his rehab efforts. "President (Jim) Clements sent me flowers and talked to me. Bobby Huggins has sent me gear to work out at home and Oliver Luck came to Atlanta and had lunch with me and a visit," he noted.
"So I'm feeling good and I'm sitting here in a chair talking to you."
Jerry West, Willie's best friend and fellow Hall of Famer, and he have been in close contact since his fall.

|Imaging Antifungal Drug Molecules in Action using Soft X-Ray Tomography
Humankind has benefitted from a long and productive relationship with yeast. For example, fermentation by yeast is an essential step in the production of bread, beer, wine, and even biofuels. However, not all yeast are beneficial. One strain of yeast, Candida albicans, grows unnoticed on most peoples' skin and in the intestines. In response to certain environmental conditions, C. albicans can switch to a pathogenic phenotype that causes infection. Yeast infections are commonplace, and in otherwise healthy individuals are usually treatable with over-the-counter medications; however, individuals with weakened immune systems can have very serious systemic consequences from a yeast infection. Treating systemic yeast infections is becoming increasingly difficult due to the growing number of yeast strains that have developed resistance to existing antimicrobial drugs. Consequently, there is a pressing need to develop new types of drugs capable of circumventing yeast drug-resistance mechanisms. To this end Stanford, University of California, San Francisco and LBNL researchers have used soft x-ray tomography to image the 3-D structure of both benign and infectious C. albicans yeast. They then imaged this yeast when treated with peptoids, a class of molecules that mimic the peptides our immune system uses as the first line of defense against microbial attack. Unlike conventional antimicrobials, microbes have yet to develop resistance mechanisms against peptides or peptoids, making them appealing candidates for pharmaceutical development.
To begin developing peptoids as antifungal drugs, researchers must determine how peptoids would function as therapeutic molecules. To obtain this insight, the Barron group from Stanford teamed up with Berkeley Lab's National Center for X-Ray Tomography to carry out a series of imaging experiments on XM-2, the biological soft x-ray microscope at ALS Beamline 2.1. The team imaged the sub-cellular changes that take place when C. albicans becomes infectious. Once the team established the physical characteristics of benign and pathogenic forms of C. albicans they imaged the cells treated with peptoids.
The new microscope yielded stunningly clear 3-D images of the three phenotypes displayed by C. albicans – yeast-like, germ-tube and hyphal cells. Peptoid treatment suppresses formation of the pathogenic hyphal phenotype, and results in striking changes in cell and organelle morphology. In particular, peptoid treatment was seen to cause changes to the structures of the nucleus and nucleolus, and a significant increase in the size and location of lipid-like bodies in the cell, including inside the nucleus.
Treatment with peptoids yielded either a benign yeast-like phenotype, or a germ-tube that closely resembles the yeast-like cell. Segmented pathogenic hyphal cells (whose parts are identified and visually demarcated based on their x-ray absorption characteristics) showed marked structural differences, as compared to the yeast-like and germ-tube phenotypes.
This is the first time it has been possible to view the consequences of a cell switching phenotypes, and of drug treatment on the detailed structure of a cell. This use of soft x-ray tomography is now generating considerable interest in the pharmaceutical industry as a potential method for reducing the cost and time it takes to get new drugs onto the market. XM-2 was the first soft x-ray microscope in the world to be designed for biological cryo-tomographic imaging, and its success has initiated the construction of a number of similar microscopes at synchrotrons around the world. Soft x-ray tomography stands alone as a technique for imaging the sub-cellular organization of fully hydrated eukaryotic cells without the use of stains or other contrast enhancing agents, allowing cells to be imaged close to their native states.

TAHOE CITY, Calif. — After Brendan Madigan became owner of Tahoe City's Alpenglow Sports on Dec. 1, 2011, changes were made to the long-standing business to keep it pertinent.
"We have done a lot of, I would say modernizing, because it was an older business," Madigan said of the 34-year-old establishment. "It needed a bit of lovin,' and we've done a lot in that capacity to be relevant and to stay relevant."
Madigan renovated the store at 415 North Lake Blvd., making the space larger with new floors, fixtures and lighting. The business's online presence increased, as did its involvement in community events.
Upgrades are key to the success of Tahoe City and the greater North Shore, said Sandy Evans Hall, executive director and CEO of the North Lake Tahoe Chamber/CVB/Resort Association.
"We need renovation, and I think right now we're seeing some of that happening," she said. "... You've got to have evolving businesses — otherwise, you start to die."
On the east side of town, the Lighthouse Center is undergoing renovations, which will include a new roof, utility replacements and ADA upgrades.
Yet, as a result, all the businesses there — aside from the U.S. Post Office, Better Homes & Gardens Real Estate and Safeway — have been displaced
"It's always difficult for businesses to have to find other locations, but you have to look well into the future that you're going to have a much more attractive retail center, hopefully, in the end, and that retail center will bring in other businesses," Evans Hall said. "Maybe some of those businesses will go back into that center, but it could be you get (all) new businesses that come in ... and bring in some excitement to the area."
According to the Placer County assessor's office, while statistics on number of businesses that open vs. those that close are not kept, 38 new businesses were assessed in Tahoe City in 2013, while 24 business assessments ceased.
James Lambeth, chief appraiser, noted the office doesn't always receive notice on arrivals and exits in the year they occur, making adjustments as received in subsequent years. In addition, new businesses that don't have sufficient property to assess are not counted.
A new business to Tahoe City this year is Moe's Original BBQ, which opened at 120 Grove St. in Tahoe City on June 21.
"We definitely feel that Tahoe City is on a rebuild right now," said Josh Wallick, co-owner and pit master, while prepping food for customers last Friday. "There's no better time to be here."
Part of that rebuild is through planned public investment, such as the Highway 89/Fanny Bridge Community Revitalization Project at the "Wye." Further, private investment such as renovations to the former Cobblestone Cinema and converting the downtown Henrikson Building into a high-quality hotel are in the works.
"(An upscale hotel) that's something we're missing here," said Stacie Lyans, executive director of the Tahoe City Downtown Association. "It might drive some visitors to our town that are only looking to stay at a certain class of hotel. You can find those types of hotels in Northstar, Squaw, but you don't find too many upscale or boutique hotels along the lake, so that's a niche that if we can put in, I think that would really help our town."
Since 1962, no new hotels/motels have been built in Tahoe City or Kings Beach, according to Placer County staff. The cost to develop lodging inside the basin is roughly $100,000 more per room, driven by environmental regulations; restrictions on height, density and land coverage; seasonality of the market; and land cost.
While Vicky Biggs, owner of Vicky's Cyber Cafe and InnovativeIT Services, sees the benefits of a high-end lodging establishment to Tahoe City, it also worries her since her businesses are housed in the Henrikson Building.
"I'm just not going to jump the gun before it's necessary," she said. "I love my space. It has the best parking in town. It's a little off the path, but I'm fond of it, I have to say. I will have to find a new place probably at some point. ... If I don't find somewhere, I'll have to close, too. That's scary, definitely."
Yet, community improvements like those planned for the Henrikson Building are a good thing, Evans Hall said.
"If you are in a marketing business like we are, you want to make sure your product is continually evolving and getting better, so you can have something to sell," she said. "That's what we're selling — the product of North Lake Tahoe. We want to see the investment happening by the ski areas, by private investors, by public investment because that then lets us tell that story of 'you came to Tahoe two years ago, but you've got to come back because it's changed.'"
NLTRA spends close to $2 million in marketing the North Shore through public relations, social media, TV, web and print, Evans Hall said.
"Once (visitors) get here, it's up to Tahoe City to try to get their share, it's up to Kings Beach to get their share, Northstar ... everybody else can fight over that market share," she said.
That's where local businesses associations play a key role, Evans Hall said.
"Our job as the Tahoe City Downtown Association is to make sure businesses are thriving, visitors come here and this is a good place to live, work and play," Lyans said.
TCDA does that by ensuring the area remains clean and well-maintained and by putting on local events to attract visitors.
Last year, $889,035 was collected in Tahoe City sales tax revenue, with Squaw/Alpine having the next highest collection at $446,021, according to Placer County. In 2012, Tahoe City had $837,269 in sales tax revenue, and $809,219 in 2011.
These signs of growth come as the region begins to rebound from the Great Recession.
"The biggest thing in the middle of the recession is people were holding onto their money and not willing to make investments," said Gary Davis, TCDA president and owner of the Gary Davis Group. "They didn't know where we were going. There was a lot of fear, so people who had money weren't making investments, and a lot of people didn't have money because they didn't have jobs."
According to the county, $898,339 in sales tax revenue was collected in Tahoe City in 2008, down from $960,775 in 2007. That downward trend continued in 2009, with $743,077 collected, before a slight uptick in 2010 with $755,079.
"It was very, very difficult on a lot of our local folks," Davis recalled. "We lost businesses during that period."
In 2008 in Tahoe City, 72 business assessments ceased, while 80 new businesses were assessed, according to the assessor's office. In 2009, those numbers were 80 and 74, respectively, and 70 and 66, respectively, in 2010.
"Everybody retrenched, got under the rock, pulled the covers over their head and held on for the ride," Davis said.
The Gary Davis Group, which has been in business for 25 years, weathered the recession by reducing staff and cutting costs, while Alpenglow Sports bought inventory more conservatively and focused on customer service.
"I think there's been a very pronounced dormant period from both property owners and managers of maintenance renovations because it's expensive and there's some hurdles with the county and the TRPA (Tahoe Regional Planning Agency) to make those investments show a return, and if there isn't a return, you don't do them," Madigan said.
In late 2012, TRPA approved its updated regional plan — albeit currently embroiled in a federal lawsuit with the Sierra Club and Friends of the West Shore — affording town centers such as Tahoe City a greater opportunity for redevelopment.
"I think TRPA's new rules, once they get through all the courts, will help us deliver a little better product, and that's not just for tourists — it's for locals, too," Davis said.
Placer County is also working on a Tahoe Basin Community Plan Update, which will serve as a guide for future development on the California side of Lake Tahoe's North Shore. Among the objectives is investing in and revitalizing existing town centers through policies, guidelines and actions.
"For a long time, people were saying, 'Tahoe City is dead,' but I've been involved in a successful business here for 11 years, and while we have some missing components, the foundation is there," Madigan said. "This is a wonderful town that can only get better."
"You've got to have evolving businesses — otherwise, you start to die."

Single car crash claims two lives
BUCHANAN COUNTY, Va. - A Thursday night crash in Buchanan County results in the death of two Vansant, Virginia men.
The Virginia State Police say it happened on Route 80 in Council, Virginia just before ten o'clock.
VSP says a Chevy Malibu was driving west on Route 80 when it ran off the left side of the road. We're told that car flipped and hit a tree.
22-year-old Nathan Gilbert was driving that car. He and one of his passengers, 20-year-old Christopher Gilbert, died on the scene.
Two other passengers were hurt in the crash and taken to area hospitals. There's no word on their injuries.
VSP says none of the people in the car were wearing a seat belt, and we're told, alcohol was a factor in the crash.
That investigation is ongoing.

Results oriented work environment (rowe) vs. traditional workday
Results-Oriented Work Environment a product of changing work landscape
Whether you've taken the time to notice or not, the concept of a traditional workday and work environment is changing — and rapidly.
No longer are workers content to sit behind cubicle walls from 9-to-5, tethered to their chairs or stations like a ball and chain. Sales jobs, online marketing jobs, website development jobs and a million and one others make it possible to be just as productive from the comforts of home or a wifi-enabled coffee shop as you would be in the office.
Tools like Google Documents and Dropbox make it possible to access your documents (and those of others) from anywhere you have access to the Internet, and makes collaboration and brainstorming a breeze.
The concept of "face time" with your boss is being replaced with the "as long as you're getting your work done, you're OK" mentality. Which brings me to the idea of a Results-Oriented Work Environment, better known as ROWE. For those not familiar, it's a "management strategy where employees are evaluated on performance, not presence," according to the official site, meaning it's more about quality than quantity.
At my previous gig, we made the transition from the typical 9-to-5 to this type of working environment, and it wasn't without its challenges. It's an entire shift in your mindset, and really forces you to re-prioritize and be the most self-disciplined version of yourself.
A few things I learned along the way:
This type of environment requires buy-in from the leadership team — and also an extraordinary amount of trust. My manager at the time wanted our business to exude a certain level of "cool," and thought this more laid-back approach would signal that. He also put faith in the idea that we would continue at the same level of productivity, and let him know if we were facing any unforeseen challenges as a result of this change. He trusted us, but checked in frequently to make sure we were staying on track.
The ROWE strategy resulted in happier employees. Employees who don't have to commute a half hour to work in rush-hour traffic are happier employees. Employees who perhaps aren't morning people and get to sneak in an extra hour of sleep are happier employees. Employees who can save money on lunch because they can eat it at home are happier employees. My fellow co-workers and I appreciated the flexibility that came with this schedule, allowing us to tend to things like doctors appointments and post office runs without feeling like we had to schedule them all during a half-hour lunch break. If we were gone longer than we anticipated, that was OK because we could simply make up the lost time later in the day.
Minimizing distractions is key. If you own a pet, if you have a washer and dryer, or if you have any type of responsibilities at home whatsoever, the ROWE way of working can turn even the most focused worker into a scattered blob of distractions. As I said before, it requires an entire shift in your mindset, because usually when you're at home, your brain will allow itself to relax a bit from your long workday. Now, however, the home or the library or coffee shop is a place to put your nose to the grindstone and get stuff done. Keeping a routine by showering and actually getting dressed when you get up in the morning goes a long way in helping yourself get into the right frame of mind. (Coffee helps, too.)
Collaboration is still possible and simply requires you to use the tools at your disposal. Need to rant about something that didn't go the way you'd plan? Call up your co-worker. Need to brainstorm ideas for your next blog post? Start a Google+ Hangout, and suddenly you're face-to-face with your smiling work mates. Need a second set of eyes on your proposal? Email the Google Document to your boss and let him or her make edits in real time. You start to realize that all of the things that you thought would be trickier from 20 miles away are really quite effortless.
If you're currently working from home or have in the past, I'd love to hear about your experience and whether you employed the principles of ROWE or another similar program. Were you successful? Why or why not?

Good article
1. on Concentration and distraction. It's important to share with the team when a worker is on...vs. when off or distracted. Open real time communication is critical.
2. Collaboration is not just 'possible' but mandatory. No one's assignment is autonomous. Author references this in her first point ("He trusted us, but checked in frequently to make sure we were staying on track.") but it's not JUST CHECKING IN, it's dialogue and collaboration.
Great points here! Collaboration is even more important in this type of work environment.
Yeah, this is so true. Most people today really can't adapt the work environment the past generations had. People today wants to just sit and relax and doing nothing.
Well thanks for your post. I am reminded.
Well, maybe not do nothing, but certainly do their work from a more comfortable setting. :) Thank you for the comment!
If you work 9 to 5 jobs then you can learn a lot from team members, team leaders and even juniors but If you do work from home then nobody will teach new lesson That is the negative point of freelancer .
You bring up a good point, but I think it's still possible to learn a lot from your colleagues in this type of environment. Like I said, collaboration and constant communication are key!

The Voice's celebrity coaches added some powerhouse talent to their rosters Tuesday during the fourth day of blind auditions, which featured songs by Adele, Taylor Swift, Joe Cocker and more.
Country sweetheart Savannah Berry, a 17-year-old singer from Houston, helped score a major victory for Team Blake in the final moments of the show with a confident version of Swift's aptly titled "Safe and Sound."
The performance wowed Blake Shelton, Shakira and Adam Levine (who scored a major coup Monday night when he snatched away a country singer from Shelton for the first time). Yet Levine seemed to know he was toast when Berry named Shelton's wife, Miranda Lambert, as one of her musical influences, while Shelton tantalizingly hoisted his wedding ring in the air.
"You're so good," Levine pleaded with Berry before she made her choice. "You're so screwed," Shelton said to Levine.
Patrick Dodd, 35, a funky father and soul singer from Memphis performed – what else? – "Walking in Memphis." He said he was trying out for The Voice to answer one question: "Am I bigger than what I'm doing now?" The answer was a resounding yes. Shakira and Levine fought over him before Dodd picked Levine, who praised the "density and rasp" in his voice.
Former Ford model Audrey Karrasch, a 20-year-old singer eager to make it based on her sound alone, fulfilled her dream when both Usher and Shelton pressed their buttons during her fun rendition of "Price Tag." It barely took her a second to choose Usher.
The heartbreaking moment of the night belonged to Betsy Bartha, 22, a shy busker from Minneapolis, who didn't entice the judges to press their buttons with her performance of Adele's "Set Fire to the Rain," but earned a hug from Levine after her disappointment shined through in her tears.
Other winners included Brandon Roush, 19, a long-haired rocker from Louisville, who earned points for his work with autistic kids and ended up on Shakira's team. Usher also pressed his button at the last minute for Orlando Dixon, 24, from Washington, D.C., an R&B singer he later dubbed "a diamond in the rough."
The Voice's blind auditions resume Monday.

About Emile Bustani
Emile Bustani was born into a poor Lebanese family in 1907, in the twilight years of the Ottoman Empire. When he died in an airplane crash in 1963, he was one of the most influential businessmen and philanthropists in the Middle East and a leading figure in the politics of the region.
Emile Bustani looked less to the glories of an Arab past than to the possibilities of a dynamic Arab renaissance. He combined the technological skills he learned as a civil engineer student at MIT (SB 1933) and his experience gained by working for the Iraq Petroleum Company, with the ideals of nineteenth-century philanthropists. He used the fortune acquired through CAT, the contracting and trading company he founded in 1936, to help revitalize Lebanon and neighboring countries.
Financial success enabled Emile Bustani to turn his attention to Lebanese politics in the early years of his country's independence after World War II. He was elected a member of Parliament in Lebanon in 1951, an office he held until his death. During the civil strife which plagued Lebanon in 1958, and led to the deployment of United States marines in the country, he played a crucial role in overcoming the crisis. He was one of the few eminent figures in the Middle East to remain on good terms with almost all the Arab leaders of his day, his counsel much valued throughout the region. Had he lived, many believe he would have become President of Lebanon. Few would have been more likely to reconcile the irreconcilable. His charm, honesty, good nature, and gift for friendship made him an irresistible negotiator.
In addition to his business and political career, Emile Bustani devoted himself to higher education in the Arab world. His special interest was the American University of Beirut, the leading institution of higher learning in the region, where he had taken his first undergraduate degree in 1928. He was a member of the AUB Board of Trustees and President of its Alumni Association. His philanthropic activities on behalf of the AUB and his fierce commitment to modern liberal education for men and women were enormous. That commitment has been sustained by his family to this day.
Mrs. Laura Bustani and Mrs. Myrna Bustani, Emile Bustani's widow and daughter, wishing to honor his memory and his deep and lasting contribution to higher education and to peace in the Middle East, established in 1985 the Emile Bustani Middle East Seminar at his American university home, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
The Bustani Middle East Seminar is organized under the auspices of the MIT Center for International Studies, which conducts research on contemporary international issues and provides an opportunity for faculty and students to share perspectives and exchange views. Each year the Bustani Seminar invites scholars, journalists, consultants, and other experts from the Middle East, Europe, and the United States to MIT to present recent research findings on contemporary politics, society and culture, and economic and technological development in the Middle East.
The Bustani Seminar complements MIT's teaching and research in the Middle East, which cover such fields as history, political science, economics, anthropology architecture, urban studies, management, and engineering. It is open to the entire MIT community and to the general public. The Bustani Seminar is chaired by Philip S. Khoury, Ford International Professor of History and Associate Provost at MIT.
The inaugural lecture in the seminar series was delivered on October 3, 1985, by Albert Hourani, of the University of Oxford. His lecture "Lebanon: The Development of a Political Society" was published in 1986 by the MIT Center for International Studies.

CHARLES TOWN - For 58 years, the Shenandoah-Potomac Garden Council's annual House and Garden Tour - featuring a variety of unique, beautiful and historic spots in Berkeley and Jefferson counties - has delighted the thousands of folks who've visited the spotlighted homes.
This year's event, featuring seven homes on Saturday and Sunday, didn't disappoint, bringing brought out hundreds of folks who were eager to visit an impressive list, which ranged from Cedar Lawn - one of the eight remaining Washington family homes in Jefferson County - to the Tannery House, which is believed to one of the oldest frame houses in Berkeley County.
Ironically, old met new at one of the tour stops, the Bloomery Plantation Distillery, where visitors had a special opportunity to look back while also hearing about plans for once again making local history - but in a much different way.

Journal photo by Jenni Vincent
Over the weekend, Rita Schmidt and Rob Losey spoke with hundreds of visitors to the Bloomery Planation Distillery who were taking part in the Shenandoah-Potomac Garden Council's 58th Annual House and Garden Tour. The well known Italian specialty is now being produced at its historic Jefferson County site.
The chilly rain didn't dampen spirits at the distillery Sunday, when visitors crowded into the historic structure to listen as marketing/distribution national manager Rob Losey talked about its recent rebirth and ongoing transformation.
"The original one-room cabin with upstairs sleeping area was built around 1840. It served as one of three slave quarters of the Willowdale Plantation, and it is my understanding that we are currently one of only two log-built slave quarters left standing in Jefferson County, so there definitely is history right here," Losey said.
Although it wasn't the typically featured home, Losey and his co-workers were happy to be included on the tour, since it was an opportunity to share the farm's history and also introduce folks to what is now under way there.
It was also a chance to show how much work has been done to bring the formerly abandoned log cabin back to some of its original grandeur, a vision that began in late 2010 when owners Tom Kiefer and Linda Losey returned from Italy and began looking for a place to open a mini-distillery.
That's when the quest to make best possible limoncello - the traditional, after-dinner, national drink of Italy, which consists of grain alcohol and lemon zest - began, he said.
As a result, "artisan cordials" are now made by hand there from the farm's own lemons and raspberries, Losey said. The distillery, which celebrated its grand opening on Sept. 17, 2011, now has six cordials, including the original limoncello, raspberry limoncello, Cremma Lemma (also known locally as moonshine milkshake), peaches and cream, lemon ice and chocolate raspberry.
There are plans for some additional, new flavors as well as a rebranding of the product to better reflect its local heritage, Losey said.
The distillery is open to the public, Fridays and Saturdays, beginning at 11 a.m., with live music provided 6 to 8 p.m. Tastings as well as the music are free, he said. Additional information is available online at www.bloomerysweetshine.com.
He estimated that more than 400 people had visited as part of the tour Saturday, in addition to several hundred who'd also come to see the distillery on Sunday before the event concluded.
More than 800 people from nearly a dozen states toured the homes in 2012, according to the Garden Council website.
Club members volunteer to guide visitors through the houses, as well as preparing flower arrangements to decorate the homes.
Proceeds from the original tour in 1955 were used to purchase period furnishings for the Historic Harper House in Harpers Ferry, which was being renovated by the National Park Service. However, in recent years, a number of area schools, parks and libraries have been the recipients of projects ranging in costs from $3,000 to $10,000, the website states.

Photographing Fireworks
With Canada Day and Independence Day (depending what side of the North American border you live on) just around the corner, we thought this would be the perfect opportunity to share some tips for photographing fireworks.
Here are 5 things to try while you're out celebrating this week:
Keep your camera still. This is the number 1 rule to capturing a great firework display! The best practice would be to use a tripod and a remote release. Touching your camera adds shake and will blur your image. If you don't have a remote release the self timer will work as well.
Aperture. A common misconception with photographing fireworks is that you need a fast lens to get them! But this is not true, fireworks emite a lot of bright light. Apertures in the mid to small range tend to work best, around f/8 and f/16.
Shutter Speed. This is equally as important as aperture, if not more! To get the full effect you'll want to use a slow shutter speed. Often photographers choose to use the Bulb mode, allowing them to control the shutter manually (best to use with a remote release). Press the shutter as the firework is launching and hold it down until the blast has faded away, typically a few seconds.
No Flash! The flash works best to light the few feet in front of you. This isn't the most beneficial when trying to capture fireworks! So, turn off your flash and set your camera to Manual mode. Adjust the aperture and ISO and shoot away. If you notice your images are looking a little dim, vary your shutter speed without changing the aperture.
Focal Length. It's hard to focus your camera at the right part of the sky and at the right time, especially when there is so much going on around you. Try using a wider focal length and zoom in for a few shots. There is always the opportunity to crop your images during post production to create the tight bright impact you are hoping for.
Vertical or Horizontal? Portrait or landscape? Both work for firework photography, just depends what style you are going for. If you want to have the horizon in the image or a cityscape etc. you're best to be horizontal. Vertical is always fun too because fireworks naturally have the upward motion and you can really focus on the firework itself.

Prince George's County to Graduate County's First Class of MESP-Trained 'Go Solar!' Workers
Program funded through Maryland Department Labor Green Job Training grant
LANHAM, Md. (April 28, 2011) Touting important progress toward Governor Martin OMalleys ambitious goal of creating 100,000 green jobs in Maryland by 2015, Maryland Labor Secretary Alexander M. Sanchez will speak at a celebration this evening honoring the first class of graduates from the Prince Georges County Maryland Energy Sector Partnership (MESP) Go Solar! training program. More than 200 Marylanders have already graduated from additional Go Solar! training programs across the state.
The Prince Georges County MESP Solar Generation and Electric Construction Training Go Solar! program is a partnership between the Governors Workforce Investment Board (GWIB), the Prince Georges County Economic Development Corporation Workforce Services Division (PGCEDC-WSD) and the Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committee (JATC) Local Union 26 of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW). This training program is the first Go Solar! project in the state to exclusively target new workers.
In order to compete for tomorrows jobs, workers need to invest in themselves today. The New Economy will demand a more highly-skilled workforce. Go Solar! is building a workforce that will compete for green, American jobs, said Maryland Labor Secretary Alexander M. Sanchez. I applaud the partnerships with Local 26 and the Prince Georges County Economic Development Corporation that made this program possible and congratulate Prince Georges Countys first 30 graduates who are in a more competitive position today than they were yesterday.
We are excited about this project. It is one of a dozen other state, local government and private sector initiatives funded by a Green Job Training grant that the Governors Workforce Investment Board (GWIB) received from the U.S. Department of Labor, said GWIB Executive Director Lynn Reed. The purpose of the grant is to train workers in the skills required in the emerging energy efficiency and renewable energy industries.
The Go Solar! training program is specifically designed to jumpstart participating jobseekers careers by equipping them with skills hiring contractors demand, including electrical theory, photovoltaic installation techniques and basic tool recognition. Participants are led on a path toward registered apprenticeships. Upon graduation, participants are connected with employers who provide full-time, non-subsidized employment with full benefits and clearly defined paths for advancement.
Training programs need to combine real-world, on-the-job experience that provides a livable wage with classroom instruction. Our graduates have gained the basic skills needed to be safe, productive employees for any employer doing work in the field of electrical construction and photovoltaic installation. Employers are already eager to hire them as entry-level workers and most graduates received fulltime employment well before the training was completed, said Sean P. Myers, Special Projects Coordinator, NECA, IBEW Local Union 26, Joint Apprenticeship Training Committee. The JATC 26 has lit the runway toward our registered apprenticeship programs for these participants so that they can use the documentable work experience and successful academic performance to earn while they learn in the new green economy.
This program demonstrates the effectiveness of the workforce investment system to meet the demands of job seekers, as well as employers, through strategic partnerships. The success of the program was built upon the partnership formed by PGCEDC-WSD, JATC and GWIB and further expanded through the addition of the employers who hired program participants while they were still in training, said Patricia N. White, Executive Director, PGCEDC-WDS. Training programs must be responsive to the demands of business and industry, while preparing individuals for jobs with a clear career path. The MESP Solar Generation and Electric Construction Training Program accomplished that and much more. We intend to replicate that success with the second class which starts on May 23.
Graduates of the Prince Georges County Go Solar! training program will have completed 90 hours of training and be enrolled as Residential Trainees with IBEW Local 26. In addition to developing workplace skills, graduates of the program will receive OSHA 10 and first aid/CPR certifications.
Funding for the states Go Solar! programs is provided by the Maryland Energy Sector Partnership grant, which was awarded to Maryland Labor Department through the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL). The $5.8 million DOL grant will help prepare more than 1,500 Marylanders for green jobs in manufacturing, construction, environmental technology and solar energy. Grant funding is divided into four key areas:
These green job training programs also support the Skills2Compete Maryland initiative a collaborative effort to expand skills training and continuing education by 20 percent by 2012 which is led by Lt. Governor Anthony G. Brown and administered by the GWIB.
The Maryland Energy Sector Partnership, led by the GWIB, is a comprehensive and representative partnership of state and local workforce agencies, business and industry leaders, labor organizations, educational institutions and community organizations.
The GWIB, a division of the Maryland Department of Labor, is a business-led board of 45 members, a majority of whom represent the business community, as mandated by the Workforce Investment Act of 1998 (WIA). Other members include the governor and the lieutenant governor, cabinet secretaries, college presidents, the state superintendent of schools, elected officials, labor representatives and representatives of nonprofit organizations. The GWIB is responsible for developing policies and strategies to form a coordinated workforce system from a variety of education, and employment and training programs. It brings together and focuses various workforce development partners and stakeholders on two key outcomes: a properly prepared workforce that meets the current and future demands of Maryland employers, and providing opportunities for all Marylanders to succeed in the 21st century workforce.
DLLR also received a $4 million grant awarded by USDOL in November 2010 to the MidAtlantic Regional Collaboration (MARC) Green Consortium to define the regional green economy and develop a workforce investment plan to support it. That consortium includes the Virginia Employment Commission, the District of Columbia Department of Employment Services, the District of Columbias Workforce Investment Council, the Maryland Governors Workforce Investment Board and the Virginia Workforce Council.

About the Issue
America's Mental Health Care Future
As a nation, the U.S. is the third highest spender on health care per person, yet our health outcomes rank 37th compared to other nations. We can do better. Even though the economy is in dire condition, our nation will recover. Our nation's health care system is undergoing a complete overhaul to prepare for better times ahead. A uniquely American approach based on the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) and the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (Parity Act) will bring the insurance industry into line and strengthen public/private partnerships. However, NAMI's advocacy is needed to prevent harmful consequences and ensure the right care at the right time and in the right place to give every child and adult living with mental illness the chance to succeed in the family, school, workplace and community.
Budget Advocacy
Budget cuts today are dismantling state mental health care systems at levels never faced before. NAMI's top advocacy priority is to protect and strengthen state and local public mental health services. (more)
The High Costs of Cutting Mental Health
The costs of cutting the state mental health budgets are high. The lives of the one in four Americans who experiences a mental illness at some point is at stake. Treatment works -- if you can get it.
Without treatment, more people will end up hospitalized, in shelters, on the street, in jail or dead. These are costs that are too high to pay.
Our fact sheets illustrate the impact of an inadequate mental health system on our communities . We can't afford to neglect our investment. Advocates are encouraged to print and use these in their efforts with elected public policy makers, the media and others.
Policy Webinars & Presentations

Mental Health Block Grant
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) has developed two policy framework documents to provide guidance to state mental health authorities and community stakeholders regarding allocation of Mental Health Block Grant (MHBG) and Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment block grant (SAPT) funding.

With the female anatomy the golden shower is an earned tribute given to her lover when a vaginal orgasm and clitoral oragasm "co-inside" and in the shattering double orgasmic experience she relinquishes absolutely all muscular control. The resulting full-body "Sunami" experience floods thru her entire body. In that release vaginal come as well as some urine flows. From this comes one example of the old term "Golden Shower". The Golden Shower was once considered to be the ultimate tribute a true cocksman could elict from a woman~!!! Total loss of control in a simultaneous double orgasim ~!!!

NHL Gamecenter Live is $50 for the (half) season this year. Here is the link- http://gamecenterlive.nhl.com/
There are a few downsides to the service, but this is a discount to the normal season rate.
1. Local and national games are blacked-out. This includes local FSN/Comcast, NBCSN, and NHL Network games. Therefore, you won't be able to get all Wings games unless you have these channels. The Wings are on NBCSN ~10 times and NHL-N ~10 times throughout the season.
2. In the US (and likely Canada) the playoffs are not shown on Gamecenter. This is because all games are shown on cable.
Gamecenter determines your location based on your IP address. Therefore, blackouts will depend on your (internet) location on a given day.

Room to Read | World Change Starts with Educated Children
Meet two fathers committed to helping their daughters succeed.
Parents »
Explore our latest Girls' Education Yearbook.
View »
When you educate a girl, everything changes.
Educating girls is the most powerful and effective way to address global poverty. Room to Read supports girls so that they not only graduate, but also develop the skills they need to negotiate key life decisions.
Finishing secondary school leads to smaller, healthier families, lower HIV infection rates, and higher wages. Educated women are more likely to educate their own children – ending the cycle of illiteracy in one generation.
The barriers to education facing girls in the developing world go far beyond simple economics—cultural bias, tradition and safety concerns often stand in the way. We ensure each girl gets the material and emotional support she needs to succeed in school and beyond through an enhanced approach that includes academic support, mentoring and life skills training.
Learn more »
An extra year of girls' education can reduce infant mortality by 5–10% and can reduce the spread of HIV/AIDS and other preventable disease.
Providing a girl with one extra year of education beyond the average boosts her future wages by 20%.

The snow and ice that entered the area on Wednesday morning has forced the postponement of most of the high school sports schedule for this evening.
All four area basketball tournaments had been pushed back. Cambria Heights waited until 4 p.m. before eventually deciding to postpone the opening night of its boys tournament.
The Blue Pirate Boosters Holiday Tournament at Williamsburg and the County Seat Tournament at Central Cambria on the boys side, as well as the Huntingdon Lions Tournament, which has both boys and girls brackets, moved their opening round games from tonight to Thursday evening. The consy and finals at the County Seat Tournament will be played on Saturday afternoon.
Because of a scheduling conflict for later in the week, the organizers for the Huntingdon Lions Tournament will play all eight games on Thursday, beginning with Juniata Valley taking on Mount Union girls at 10 a.m. and concluding with the boys championship, scheduled for 8:30 p.m.
All eight teams will play twice in 12 hours.
"It actually reminds me of when we go play summer league games," Huntingdon coach Nick Payne said. "They schedule you to play two games a day so you don't have to travel.
"With the big court, it's going to be interesting. We're going to have to be in condition. That's going to be for all the teams."

|Students in Uruguay Collect Protein Crystallography Data at the ALS
The Institut Pasteur de Montevideo (IPM) in Uruguay introduced students to remote protein crystallography data collection with the help of Peter Zwart at Beamline 5.0.2. A two-week, international workshop on macromolecular crystallography (MX) and its applications instructed 20 PhD students, postdocs and research assistants on the complete MX process.
The primary course instructor, Alejandro Buschiazzo, says that the course "fulfills the need to train young scientists in Latin America, and is expected to foster collaborative, inter-institutional academic programs." The remote MX data collection done on Beamline 5.0.2 on April 30 and May 1 contributed greatly to this aim, allowing students to send their own samples in beforehand, and see how data is collected and processed.
Data collection lasted two days, collecting data on 67 crystals. During this activity, two open sessions with the students using IPM's informatics room enabled them to look, in real time, at how remote data collection works. "Everything went pretty well!" Buschiazzo says. "Students learned quite a lot, and we actually collected useful data that is now being processed."
14 speakers, hands on wet lab time, and informatics instruction all contributed toward teaching students how to solve the 3D structure of a protein from crystallizing a protein and experimental setup, to collecting and processing x-ray diffraction data, to using refinement and structure validation programs to properly fit and analyze atomic models.
Posters, discussion sessions, and paper reading sessions boosted student teacher interactions. Speakers also stay at the same hotel as students for either all or part of the course. The only activity that was held remotely was the data collection sessions at the ALS.
You can find more information about the Macromolecular Crystallography: Introductions and Applications Workshop on their website.

PUKALANI - Let the record show that the Lahainaluna High School football team's shutout streak lasted 23 1/2 quarters overall, and 269 minutes, 28 seconds of Maui Interscholastic League play.
It ended Saturday night in a 35-3 win over Kamehameha Maui at Kanaiaupuni Stadium in front of about 2,000 fans, most of whom were wearing Luna red.
When Kamahao Romero's 35-yard field goal sailed through the uprights with 6:32 left in the third quarter to cut Kamehameha Maui's deficit to 28-3, there was an audible groan from the crowd.

Still, the Lunas (6-0 MIL overall) improved to 2-0 in MIL Division II second-round play, while dealing a blow to the chances of the Warriors (2-4 MIL overall, 1-1 second round) forcing a championship playoff. Lahainaluna is one win from clinching the MIL D-II state berth for a sixth year in a row.
"Very remarkable," Lunas co-head coach Garret Tihada said of the scoreless streak. "The kids aren't disappointed at all. They know they have to focus on other things versus a streak. All streaks are meant to be broken. Whether it was a streak or not, we are just happy we came out with a win."
The win was never in doubt and the Lunas have still allowed only one touchdown on defense in seven games this season, by Keaau's Jared Quihano-Makaweo in Lahainaluna's 35-14 preseason win on the Big Island. Keaau's other touchdown in that game came on an interception return.

Lahainaluna vs. Baldwin at War Memorial Stadium, 7 p.m.
The Lunas have outscored the MIL 215-3, and all opponents 250-17.
On Saturday, Lahainaluna scored 14 points before its offense took the field, on two interception returns.
Semisi Filikitonga stepped in front of a Chase Newton pass on the third play from scrimmage and the Lunas' do-it-all player zigzagged his way into the end zone from 37 yards out.
Jeffrey Ancog did likewise on the Warriors' third play of their next possession, racing untouched 22 yards.
On Kamehameha's next possession, Samiuela Filiai sacked Newton for a 9-yard loss as the defense forced a three-and-out.
When the Lunas got their chance on offense, it didn't take them long to score as well. Asi Fatongia ran for 5 yards before Kiko Kohler-Fonohema found Filikitonga wide open over the middle on the second play from scrimmage for a 43-yard scoring pass with 5:24 left in the first quarter.
The next time the Lunas had the ball they ground out an eight-play, 68-yard touchdown drive capped by a 1-yard run by Jared Rocha-Isalas with 11:23 left in the half.
The only threat to the scoreless streak in the first 24 minutes came when Kohler-Fonohema fumbled and Kamehameha's Taylor Kaaukai returned it 39 yards to Lahainaluna's 25-yard line. Rocha-Isalas, a running back, made a shoestring tackle to save a touchdown, bringing a roar from the Lunas faithful.
Filiai caught running back Stephen Barut for a 3-yard loss on first down, and combined with Hercules Mataafa on a 7-yard sack on fourth-and-3 from the 18 to save the zero on the scoreboard.
Early in the second half, the Warriors recovered a fumbled snap at midfield and drove to the Lunas' 22 before being stopped on downs. On the first play of Lahainaluna's possession, Kohler-Fonohema fumbled again and Kamehameha's Cal Alexander recovered at the Lunas' 19.
The Warriors got a first-and-goal at the 8 after Newton's 11-yard run after a fake handoff, but were pushed 10 yards back in the next three plays before Romero nailed his field goal.
Mark Alamon caught a 7-yard touchdown pass from Kohler-Fonohema on the next possession to cap a seven-play, 58-yard drive and the scoring for the night.
Lahainaluna will face Baldwin next Saturday - the Lunas won the first game with the Bears 32-0 on Sept. 7 with Baldwin quarterback Keelan Ewaliko, a two-time MIL Offensive Player of the Year, out with an injury. Since Ewaliko's return three games ago, Baldwin has scored 159 points.
"He has been tearing up the league, running, passing," Tihada said. "They are a whole different team with him."
Kamehameha coach Kevin O'Brien praised the team he believes will represent the MIL in the D-II state tournament.
"Absolutely incredible," he said. "They are every bit as good as advertised. They're disciplined, they play hard, they're physical, they are obviously well-coached. All those types of things and then we got behind early. If you are going to have a chance against a really good team, you can't fall behind early like we did.
"So, my hat's off to them, very impressive. I wish them the best of luck. I'm looking forward to next weekend's game, and I'm looking forward to see how far these guys can go at the state tournament. I think they can go really far."

UNIVERSITY?PARK - Pat Chambers wants to recruit Philadelphia, an area where Penn State hasn't fared well over the years.
He'd also like to beat the Philly guy, Wisconsin coach Bo Ryan. His No. 19 Badgers have now won 14 of 16 against Penn State after a 52-46 victory Tuesday night at the Bryce Jordan Center.
This game showed those recruiting efforts are needed for more scoring options, as Tim Frazier scored 17 of Penn State's 23 second-half points and 6 of its 7 second-half field goals. Frazier and Jermaine Marshall also combined for 20 of the Lions' 26 second-half field goal attempts.
No sequence epitomized the Lions' struggles more than a stretch with two minutes to play that saw two missed Jon Graham free throws followed by two Marshall misses after a long rebound swat.
Down 40-38, Graham went to the line after pulling the rebound off a Frazier miss. Marshall later took a pass in front of the Penn State bench, but missed a 3-pointer that Matt Glover rebounded to keep possession. Glover passed to Marshall, who was cutting toward the basket, but his dunk missed and Wisconsin finally regained possession again.
Jordan Taylor's 3-pointer a few seconds later gave the Badgers a two-possession lead for good.
Chambers can't play any new recruits until next season, so he'll need others to score more for the rest of this one. Chambers said he wanted Frazier taking the second-half shots once Marshall cooled off after a 10-point first half.
"Cam Woodyard, he's got to get it done," said Chambers. "Right now, he and Tim and Jermaine are our three guys with Billy Oliver (concussion) and Trey Lewis (back) out."
Frazier scored a game-high 21 and Marshall had 13. Woodyard scored 5 points on 1-for-6 shooting. Matt Glover, who started as part of a four-guard Lion lineup, fouled out after 30 minutes and did not shoot once against a Wisconsin team that leads the nation in scoring defense and field-goal percentage defense.
Ryan said the Badgers (18-5, 7-3) still had to respect Frazier's game, even if he was the only one scoring in the second half.
"Try guarding him," said Ryan. "It's not like taking 5 guys and say 'Guard him.' You squeeze Sometimes you have to make a guy work offensively to fix his defense, but he did well on both ends."
Taylor finished with 18 points for the Badgers. Another critical play from Taylor, was a layup at the end of the first half that cut the Penn State lead to 8, one that melted during the first few moments of the second half.
Both teams endured first-half scoring droughts even though the Nittany Lions were 11-for-24 shooting thanks to Marshall's 5-for-7.
Penn State went 5:44 between Frazier's 18-foot jumper and a Marshall one-hander that actually gave the Lions a 10-9 lead with 10:21 left in the first half.
Wisconsin scored just once in that time, on a Josh Gasser 3-pointer that precluded a dry spell lasting 8:55. The Badgers, 7-for-26 in the first half, scored again when Taylor's 3 made it 18-12 Penn State with 3:30 before halftime.
Joe Paterno's death last week lingered in this game, as Chambers wore rolled up khakis, white socks, and black sneakers to honor Paterno.
Ryan and Wisconsin honored Paterno in their own way, leaving an autographed cap at Paterno's statue. Ryan said the hat was inscribed to "the greatest teacher ever" before telling reporters why Penn State didn't recruit him for football out of Chester High School in the 1960s.
"He said you were a basketball school. He asked how many games we won, and I said 'One in 3 years,'" recalled Ryan. "He said that was 'Maybe why we didn't recruit you.' I liked the honesty."
said Ryan, who remembered being embarrassed as Paterno told the story in front of his Big Ten counterparts but also some good times visiting the school while playing college basketball at Wilkes.
"I saw Boston College here, maybe, but more importantly a Dionne Warwick concert that night," said Ryan. "I'd come for a couple games. Sammy still a fraternity here? I hit that."
