The PIAA's new mandatory heat acclimation program has some area high school football coaches all hot and bothered.
"I'm not in favor of this," Philipsburg-Osceola coach Jeff Vroman said during Mountain League media day last week. "I don't think it's fixed anything."
"I don't know the reasons for implementing it. I just know we have to do it, and we're trying to follow it the best we can," Portage coach Gary Gouse added. "Anytime you try something new, you have to work out the wrinkles. It's tough on the kids right now. The ones that are missing and have family vacations are the toughest."
Heat acclimatization - as it is referred to under the PIAA rule - is nothing new. Most programs implemented some version of it, whether it was called conditioning or heat acclimation.
However, because it was done before official practice began, it only was voluntary. The PIAA, citing that 41 high school players have died from heat-related causes since 1995, decided to step in this year and make sure every team - and, more importantly, every player, had to get warmed up, so to speak, with three straight days of at least three-hour practice/conditioning sessions before they could take part in a an actual hitting practice, scrimmage or game. That had to be done no more than two days before the opening of the PIAA season on Monday.
Teams had the option of starting as early as Wednesday of this week or holding off until next week, when the preseason technically begins. Because most coaches don't want to lose three days of practice, the vast majority if not all teams are wrapping up their acclimatization programs today.
Fact Box
The heat is on
Here are some of the guidelines of the PIAA's new heat-acclimatization rule to try to lessen heat-related illnesses during football practice:
n Teams must condition for three consecutive days no more than two days before the first practice. This may be completed the week before the first practice date.
n Practice sessions are a minimum of three hours or a maximum of five hours with at least a two-hour rest period.
n Helmets and shoulder pads are to be worn the first two days but contact is not allowed.
n To practice, play in a game or scrimmage, a player must complete heat acclimatization.
"I think everybody's trying to make the game safer. I think everybody has different opinions on how to do it," Cambria Heights coach Jarrod Lewis said. "If this prevents some of these heat illnesses, it's worth it."
That's something that coaches agree on. However, not everyone is happy with how it's been put into place.
"It's pretty vague what you can do and what you can't do," Gouse said. "They didn't spend enough time explain to the coaches and everybody ... the plan is up to us."
That plan has to be OK'd with the school's principle, athletic director and trainer. All the coaches to whom the Mirror talked just were using variations of their typical practices, although no skin-to-skin contact between players or tackling to the ground are allowed.
Inconsistencies in what teams were doing on the field was one major concern. The other was the timing. The PIAA guidelines stress that there only be two days off from the last heat acclimatization session and the first practice to have its intended medical effect of getting players prepared for lengthy, multi-session practices in the typically brutally-hot August days. However, that also coincides with the last real getaway weekend for families of players before the fall practices and the start of school.
By rule, if players don't complete the three days in a row this week, they have to do it next week.
"I don't like the fact that if you don't do it three days in a row, it starts Monday for you," Huntingdon coach Mike Hudy said. "That means your first contact day is Thursday. You scrimmage Saturday with one day of contact if you make Friday a walk-through. I think that's a problem."
"I can't imagine anybody waiting until the first week [of practice] to start that, because you're in conflict there where they want you to spend a lot of time on technique, tackling, to prevent injuries in that sense, but, at the same time, if you're not doing something with pads on, you're not playing football," Bellwood-Antis coach John Hayes said.
"If you can get all your people there the 7th, then you are fine. What if you're a district that can't get it accomplished? It doesn't appear to be a level thing. As a second-year coach, I need to rewrite everything," Hudy added.
The likelihood of having the entire squad present is slim to none. That means some players will need to go about heat acclimatization while those that already completed it will be preparing for the first scrimmage.
"You're going to almost have two practices going at the same time," Lewis said.
Teams will have to divide their staffs or use their trainers to supervise the players who didn't complete the heat acclimation earlier.
"We're probably all going to go through some challenges where we have some kids who may have vacations scheduled, and they're going to have to go through it the following week," Northern Bedford coach Batzel said. "I had one kid who said, 'I'll be getting back Friday, and I can do it Monday and Tuesday.' No, it's got to be three consecutive days."
Batzel, like most of the other coaches, already had a similar program in place. The PIAA rules, though, have forced some alterations that might seem the opposite of what was intended.
"We are going to end up going longer on Friday then we would have anyhow," Guthoff said. "If the intent was to reduce it, now they are going to make us practice on a Friday for three hours where we would have been out there with no helmets and shoulder pads and gone for an hour and a half."
Gouse gave his team off the entire week before the first practice, conditioning earlier. Vroman had his team working along the same lines.
"We were doing a full five-day heat acclimation. Now they're cutting it to three days in helmets and shoulder pads," Vroman said. "If they want to help us out, I think we need to extend our preseason and make it three weeks with two scrimmages and give the kids a day off here and there. Once you get into your double-session times, get all of your special teams in, you're always short on time, especially when a lot of schools have in-service days that second week. I think that's what we need to look at."
There is at least one universal upside.
"I'm actually pleased for this reason: It's mandatory. We have been doing for as long as I can remember what we called heat acclimation, but we couldn't make it mandatory, because it was before the season," Hayes said. "You'd get some of this nice group to come today, and some of those guys wouldn't come tomorrow. Different ones would come tomorrow, and some would or wouldn't come on Friday."
Last year, Bellwood used a system in which conditioning wasn't mandatory, but, if a player missed it, he had to do it the first three days of practice and couldn't scrimmage.
"We had everybody here but one kid. They were away on vacation, and it was already planned," Hayes said.
Coaches said the PIAA put the heat acclimatization rule in place in an effort to get ahead of potential problems or other groups forcing their own rules upon them, and the state coaches association had input. It's seen as a work in progress but was just a way of getting things started. The kinks will be worked out, eventually.
"It's a new thing for everyone," Gouse said, "and we're all trying to feel our way through it."

He's funny ... and romantic!
Vince Vaughn got engaged to Kyla Weber earlier this year – and not just on any day.
"Valentine's Day rolled around and I figured this is not a ship to be missed," Vaughn, 39, tells Ellen DeGeneres during a visit to her talk show scheduled to air Monday, "because I will not forget this date." "So Valentine's Day was the day that I asked her," he continues. "[It] worked out great because it would have been kind of weird to have talked about [getting engaged] and then skipped Valentine's Day as if who knows when this thing is coming."
The Couples Retreat star, who tells DeGeneres he his fiancée had been dating for a year and half before getting engaged, says the couple had discussed marriage before he actually popped the question. "We talked about [it"]," he says. "I knew we were both kind of in [agreement] with it."
Weber, a real estate agent, makes Vaughn "laugh," he tells the talk show host. Says Vaughn: "She is wonderful. I'm just thrilled."

ATTICA - Seneca East coach Dave Stallings said that leading up to Friday's season opener, his team didn't have an identity.
Some talented players have gone through the program in recent years, but that, in fact, was the problem. They were gone.
Stallings said he was looking to see how this year's team was going to forge its own identity and after Friday's opener, it appeared he got the answers he was looking for.
Article Photos
Seneca East's Amber Enders hits a layup during Friday's game against Buckeye Central in Attica.
Seneca East's Seina Adachi drives to the basket as teammate Paige Reichert sets a pick on Buckeye Central's Hailey Hildebrand.
Four of the five Tiger starters scored in double figures and the fifth was a point shy of joining them. It all added up to a 63-49 season-opening victory over Buckeye Central.
"That's what we've been working for," Stallings said. "[I said the other day] we just haven't found our identity and I think tonight we're starting to find our identity. The last couple years we've been, Erica Cramer, Ashton Daniel. Those kids are gone now and these kids need to create their own identity. And I think tonight, all the work we've put in, they've stepped up and that's what we've been working for."
Stallings might not have been able to script a better opening for his team this year. In the first quarter, the Tigers limited the Bucks to just one field goal while giving the nets at their own end of the floor a workout. Seina Adachi scored nine of her team-high 15 in the opening frame while Amber Enders tossed in six as Seneca East built a 25-5 lead after one period.
Helping cause the separation was the fact that Seneca East forced Buckeye Central into 11 turnovers while committing only one through the first eight minutes.
"That was a great way to start the year," Stallings said. "That's what we've been preaching, and preaching and preaching, take care of the basketball, and they did. As the game went on, I think the legs got a little tired, we made some bad decisions, but overall I'm pleased with them, every one of them."
"We played really well and we had good defensive," Seneca East senior Brittany Brookes added. "We've been practicing that a lot and we excelled well in that. We got down the court like we've been practicing, and it led to good things for us."
After falling behind big, Buckeye Central coach Greg Moore saw his team fight back, getting within five late in the second quarter. But the Bucks weren't able to overcome the early deficit.
"We just dug ourselves a hole there early," Moore said. "You can't spot somebody 20 points. I told the girls I said 'You can't give up 25 points in a quarter. You can't do it in any basketball. I thought they dug in, they did some good things. It seemed like the lid was on the basket the first quarter also. I give Seneca East credit, they played some good defense. We missed some bunnies, we missed some layups, we missed some free throws. We're a work in progress and I'm happy with the effort."
The Bucks rallied in the second quarter, led by the team's two seniors, Brooke Karl and Kilee Kimmell. Kimmel knocked down a pair of 3's en route to scoring 11 in the frame, while Karl was cleaning up the glass.
"Kilee Kimmel and Brooke Karl both played like seniors," Moore said. "I don't know how many rebounds Brooke had but it was pretty remarkable."
The answer was 15 in the first half an 19 total.
"She kept us in the game the first half with her boards," he said. "And Kilee did a good job with the shooting end of it."
But Seneca East's balanced offensive attack kept the Bucks from mounting a serious threat. Enders finished with 14 points while also pulling down eight rebounds. Brookes knocked down a pair of trifectas in the second half to keep Buckeye Central at arm's length, and finished with 12 points. Kirsten Camp tallied 10.
Hannah Hahler finished with nine points and eight rebounds.
Stallings credited the hustle of his players as a key for their production, especially highlighting his post players, Hahler, Enders and Paige Reichert.
"One thing we've been working on is all five of them getting up and down the floor," he said. "I think you saw that from Hannah and Amber and Paige coming off the bench. There was no slupping off, for lack of a better word. They were hustling and that's what we've been working on."

I have tried 'em all. Every personal organizer out there - electronic and paper. I have spent hundreds and hundreds of dollars looking for just the right combination of structure and flexibility.I found it in Circa by Levenger.This product is flexible, customizable, portable and my favorite – good for right or left-handed writers!I have a multi-faceted life - work, family, artist, writer, political activist, active in several other organizations, gardener, the list goes on. Circa keeps me on track, gives me room to create and is sized to go with me everywhere I have to be. My Circa travels easily from my art studio to a corporate Board Room.I use the extra discs from my Junior Circa notebook to offload work notes or short stories into easily organized archives. And the add-ons like the colored page flags and customizable tabs let me create a Circa notebook to suit my individual and evolving needs. Oh, and the great colors of the broadcloth covers let me express a bit of my personality while I stay organized.Circa is the perfect portable personal assistant for this busy creative professional.

I bought this notebook back in late 2010. I was immediately disappointed, but being frugal, I kept using it to "get my money's worth".Functionally, it does what a notebook cover should do. First, it provides stability for writing when you cannot have the notebook on the desk. Second, it protects all of the pages of the notebook from outside world.Aesthetically and quality wise I think it left much to be desired. First, the fabric will attract and hold all manners of dust and debris. The notebook required several rolls with a tape roller every day to keep it looking even sort of decent.Second, within a week of receiving it, I noticed a large dent in the padding of the notebook. It was very easy to see and drove me absolutely mad. I do not know how it was caused, but whatever the padding is made of should be more resiliant than to be so quickly misshapen.Between the dust and the dent, I kept the notebook open virtually all of the time - thereby negating one of its functional aspects (protecting your work).When an analyst consultant joined our team, I was quick to show off Circa. She loved it but I did warn her not to purchase the bookcloth notebook because of the issues I had. She purchased the leather version. One year later, her leather notebook cover looked like new despite being taken on flights across the US each week.I've finally given up on the bookcloth notebook cover. I put a clear plastic cover on my work until I get the leather one I've ordered but is on backorder. I am confident that the leather will hold up better, and kicking myself for 1) choosing the bookcloth first and 2) waiting this long to replace something that was clearly sub par.At least it did not hinder my love for Circa in general!

Bookcloth Notebook - Junior
By AndyKay
from Colorado Springs, CO
I am a long time user of Levenger Circa, so I was not disappointed with the Junior Notebook. The larger Circas are great, but this is the perfect size to throw in a bag to take to client meetings. With the To-Do pages and Action Method sheets it easy to update projects, tasks, etc and keep them organized. I would LOVE to see a tie-in with Evernote like the Moleskine notebooks do, that would make them perfect for me.

Disapointed with Bookcloth notebook
By Barbara1955
from Undisclosed
I was very disappointed with this product. It has a flimsy feeling to it, the top and bottom corners even turn in as though the material used for this product is not sturdy enough. At some point in the future, I will purchase the leather notebook to replace this one, but given how I feel about the book cloth notebook, I'm a bit wary of buying other circa notebook products.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Your comments concerning the quality of this notebook have been forwarded to our product development team for review. Our records indicate you purchased our Leather Foldover notebook to use in place of this one. We are happy to know you were able to find a notebook that better suits your needs.

I have just purchased this notebook to replace one identical to it that I have used for my planner for the last two years. Handled dozens of times every single day, it has held up beautifully. I have even been able to get dirty fingerprints cleaned off the black cloth.

best agenda ever
By DoctorP
from Cincinnati OH
I love this product. I have been using the purple bookcloth letter size as my calendar with the Circa vertical agenda pages for over 3 years now. I love it. It has stood up to daily use but I am ordering a second one to have in reserve in case it gets discontinued and I can't replace it! I also have Circa notebooks in leather and plastic. I'm happy with all but this one is my favorite.
Love, Love, Love It!

I am so happy with my Letter size - Circa Bookcloth Notebook. I also have the Journal size but it did not give me the ability to organize all of my projects in one location. With the swithch to the Letter size Notebook I am exceptionally organized. I am able to add documents as needed with the hole punch I purchased. Life is easy...I have all of my business documents and personal documents in one place. Looking forward to a long relationship with Levenger!
Powerful Tool

I bought this Circa Bookcloth Notebook for my daughter who started her first full-time job. She's super organized like me and I know she would appreciate it. Her job entails being on track with her cases and this notebook suits her well.
Nice cloth feeling
By CardiB
from Boise, ID
I have 1 letter and 2 junior size of this product in 3 different colors (I have purple, blue and pink that has been discontinued). I know which notebook they are by the colors and they add some fun, but not too bright for work.Since they are book-cloth, if you spill something it could stain. I have some stains on mine.I like these notebooks since they are a lot nicer than the plastic one, and chapter than leather kind. The colors are nice, and I really like the cloth-feel. They are nice but casual. The elastic is very good to have, and pockets and pen loops are useful.I wish I had a choice to order just outside part notebooks (with some discount). I have bought 3 letter size and 5 junior size Circa all together in the past, and I have so many ruled papers that came with, and I don't really use them. I don't know what to do. They are too nice to use as scratch papers. I am sure some people use them all the time, but I use other specific refills most of the time.

The Stetson University Cheerleading program's primary purpose is to support SU athletics. The season begins with camp in August, pre-season beginning prior to the start of classes in August; and continues through the completion of basketball season in the spring until tryouts for the next season. Cheerleaders are responsible for attending all practices and/or games that occur during that time period; including those that fall during University breaks/vacations and holidays.
In general, the Stetson Cheerleaders practice on Tuesday and Thursday from 6:00-8:00 am and an evening practice during the week. The frequency of practices may increase to at least five times per week during competition season if needed. In addition to regular practices all squad members are also required to attend mandatory weight training sessions two times a week.
The SU cheerleaders participate in a several appearances on behalf of the University and Athletic Department. Cheerleaders are ambassadors for the school and are expected to carry themselves accordingly at all times. Each cheerleader is expected to volunteer for a variety of appearances throughout the course of the season. SU cheerleaders are also required to participate in team fundraising efforts throughout the season. The specific fundraisers, dates, and times will vary from season to season; but for each fundraising campaign cheerleaders will be given specific goals and deadlines and are expected to meet them.
Being a college cheerleader is an extremely rewarding experience, but is also extremely time consuming. Cheerleaders are expected to put their academics first and cheerleading second. Anyone interested in trying out should make sure that they are fully aware of the time commitment required and be ready to dedicate themselves accordingly.

DENVER � Big rallies by both teams. Hyped crowds. A berth in the state semifinals on the line.
It had about everything someone could want from a volleyball match.
Only for Bayfield, it didn�t have the desired result.
The third-ranked Bayfield High School volleyball team�s season came to a close Saturday as No. 6 Gunnison held on for a five-set victory in the final game of pool play at the CHSAA Class 3A Girls Volleyball State Championships at the Denver Coliseum.
The Wolverines fell 23-25, 25-22, 24-26, 26-24, 15-13 to the Cowboys.
Sophomore middle hitter Kirstie Hillyer had 28 kills to lead Bayfield, and Jen Phelps chipped in 16. Suzie Rhodes had 58 assists despite some uncharacteristically disjointed passing from the BHS defense that had her sprinting all over the court, much to the chagrin of head coach Kelley Rifilato.
�But, honestly, the first couple of games, Suzie had a tough time because the passes were horrible,� Rifilato said.
�It wasn�t that they served unusually tough, we just mentally couldn�t get the ball on target and making ridiculous errors and not moving. ... And that sets the tone for the whole game. The whole game was chaotic.�
Bayfield eked out a win in the first set, then the comeback-fest hit its apex.
The Wolverines took a 21-17 lead in the second set before the Cowboys closed on an 8-1 run to even the match.
Gunnison seemed primed to take a 2-1 lead, leading by as many as eight on multiple occasions and holding a 23-19 lead late before the Wolverines rallied behind Phelps and Jenna Sirios to pull out a 26-24 victory.
Bayfield had a chance to shut the door and advance in the fourth set with a 22-20 lead late. But Gunnison quickly got back into the lead, then held off Bayfield by scoring the final two points of the set on a serving error and attack error by the Wolverines to push the match to five.
Bayfield tried to rally from a 10-6 hole in the final set, getting even at 13, but a kill by Jordan Wallin and an ace by Sarah Shamblin shut the door and sent the Cowboys riding on into the semis.
Hillyer credited the Gunnison defense for being able to throw the Wolverines off their game.
�Gunnison, they were hustling a lot. They were getting up everything, so it was tough to play against them,� said Hillyer, daughter of Laura and Rich Hillyer.
Rifilato said the Cowboys� tip kills and dumps became contagious, infecting BHS, a team that doesn�t employ such tactics often, preferring instead to fire away.
�There was a lot of mad scrambles because of the dumping, the tipping ... it does take you out of your game, because we have people standing around instead of moving and going to get the ball,� she said. �And that�s so unusual for us.�
The Wolverines finished the season 23-4 in their fourth consecutive trip to state. And while the loss brought to a close the prolific careers of Layne Bulwan, Jordyn Harrison, Micaela Knickerbocker, Kayla D. and Kayla J. McCoy, Phelps and Lindsey Reinmuth, Hillyer, a sophomore, was optimistic about the future � and a fifth consecutive trip to Denver.
�We�re really shooting for that, and I think we�ll be able to do it. We�ve got some really good players coming back next year, and I think if we really push for it, we can get there,� Hillyer said.

In Recognition of Significant Contributions to Myeloma Research and Patient Care
North Hollywood, CA, May 30, 2013—The International Myeloma Foundation (IMF) — improving the quality of life of myeloma patients while working toward prevention and a cure — will present the eleventh annual Robert A. Kyle Lifetime Achievement Award to Dr. Gösta Gahrton during a ceremony at the Grand Hotel in Stockholm, Sweden, on June 11, 2013.
Since 2003, the IMF has honored an outstanding physician each year with the award, which is named for its first recipient, Dr. Robert Kyle.
"We applaud Dr. Gahrton's accomplishments and decades-long contributions to improving the lives of myeloma patients," said IMF President and Co-Founder Susie Novis. Kyle Award honorees are individuals whose work in the field of myeloma has resulted in significant advances in research, treatment and care of myeloma patients.
The Kyle Award dovetails with the IMF's mission to improve the lives of myeloma patients. Celebrating its 22nd anniversary, the IMF reaches out to more than 240,000 members in 120 countries worldwide and focuses on four key areas: research, education, support, and advocacy. To date, the IMF has conducted more than 250 educational seminars worldwide, maintains a world-renowned hotline, and established the International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG), a collaborative research initiative focused on improving myeloma treatment options for patients.
"Dr. Gahrton's work perfectly reflects the words of Dr. William Mayo, founder of Mayo Clinic, who challenged the nature of patient care nearly a century ago when he said 'The needs of the patient are the only needs to be considered,' " said Brian G.M. Durie, MD, Chairman and Co-Founder of the IMF.
Following graduation at the University of Lund, Dr. Gösta Gahrton joined the famous cell biologist Torbjörn Caspersson at the Karolinska Institutet and later professor Sidney Farber at Harvard Medical School in Boston. He became Ph.D on a thesis concerning cell biology of leukemia in 1966. After appointments at the Karolinska Hospital in Stockholm, he became Head of Hematology at Huddinge Hospital and Head of the Department of Medicine Karolinska Institutet. He was appointed professor of Medicine in 1985.
Dr. Gahrton has received several honors, among them the Trafvenfelt Diploma and the A.F. Regnell`s Prize by the Swedish Society of Medicine; Malthes Legat by the Norwegian Medical Society; the Ishan Dogramacy Award by the Hacettepe Univeristy Ankara; and the Louis Sullivan Award, Morehouse School of Medicine, Atlanta, Georgia. He is an honorary member of several International Societies and has been a member and chairman of the Nobel Committee of the Karolinska Institutet.
Gösta Gahrton has published more than 400 scientific articles in international scientific journals.
Celebrating its 22nd anniversary, the International Myeloma Foundation reaches more than 240,000 members in 120 countries worldwide. A 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization dedicated to improving the quality of life of myeloma patients and their families, the IMF focuses on four key areas: research, education, support, and advocacy. To date, the IMF has conducted more than 250 educational seminars worldwide, maintains a world-renowned hotline, and established the International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG), a collaborative research initiative focused on improving myeloma treatment options for patients.

Social Security Holds Compassionate Allowance Outreach Hearing on Alzheimer's and Related Dementias
On July 29, Social Security hosted an outreach hearing on early-onset Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. It was the fourth public hearing on Compassionate Allowances, the agency's expedited processing of disability claims for applicants with medical conditions so severe that their conditions, by definition, meet Social Security's standards.
"This year, through Compassionate Allowances and our Quick Disability Determination process, over 100,000 Americans with severe disabilities will be approved for Social Security disability benefits in a matter of days rather than the months and years it can sometimes take," said Commissioner Michael J. Astrue. "With this hearing, we are expanding our focus from specific rare diseases and cancers to look at subgroups of much broader conditions. Early-onset Alzheimer's disease is a rapidly progressive and debilitating disease of the brain that affects individuals between the ages of 50 and 65 and clearly deserves our consideration."
Learn more about the hearing or view the webcast at www.socialsecurity.gov/compassionateallowances/hearings0729alt.htm.
Number of Social Security backlogged disability cases drops for 6th straight month
Social Security is making progress in one of its top priorities -- eliminating the hearings backlog for disability claims. The disability backlog has now gone down six months in a row. SSA began the year with 760,813 cases pending and ended June with 746,398 – a drop of 14,415 cases for the year and 4,203 cases for the most recent month. "We have moved quickly to utilize new technologies, improve our business processes, and add new staff," said Commissioner Astrue. "Combined with the hard work of our employees and the support of Congress, we are clearly on the right track to providing Americans with disabilities the prompt service they deserve."
Learn more at www.socialsecurity.gov/appeals and check out the "What's New" section.
Retirement Estimator Celebrates One Year
It's been only a year since Social Security's Retirement Estimator went online, but you'd never know it based on its success. It was rated the best online service in government by the University of Michigan's American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI) for Federal Websites in February 2009. In the most recent ACSI report, the Retirement Estimator tied for first place with Social Security's online application. The Retirement Estimator is so popular, in fact, that people have visited the website more than three million times in the past year. You can visit it yourself online at www.socialsecurity.gov/estimator.
The online Retirement Estimator is a convenient, secure, and quick financial planning tool that lets workers calculate how much they might expect to receive in Social Security benefits when they retire. Experience the best online service in government now by visiting Social Security's Retirement Estimator at www.socialsecurity.gov/estimator. Then, once you've fleshed out your retirement plans, please come back to www.socialsecurity.gov to apply for benefits. It's so easy!
Be Prepared for Hurricane Season
With hurricane season upon us, the last thing people need is for their monthly benefit payments to be undeliverable due to an evacuation. This is yet another reason to "go direct."
For years, Direct Deposit has been the safest, fastest, and easiest way for people to receive their payments — and it still is the best way to get benefit payments for people who have a bank account. To learn more or to sign up for Direct Deposit, visit www.socialsecurity.gov/deposit.
For those who don't have a bank account, there's another way to go direct: Direct Express. Direct Express automatically deposits benefit payments to a person's Direct Express card account. The card can be used to make purchases, pay bills or get cash at thousands of locations, and most services are free.
To learn more or to sign up for Direct Express, visit www.fms.treas.gov/directexpresscard.
How Social Securitys Review of Eligibility for Extra Help Works
The law requires Social Security to review periodically a beneficiary's eligibility for Extra Help with Medicare prescription drug costs. We review the beneficiary's resources, income, and household composition to see if they have changed. Many times, there will be no change in the amount of Extra Help people receive. Other times, the Extra Help could increase because beneficiaries have less income, fewer resources, or more people dependent on them for care. It's also possible the amount of Extra Help could be decreased or ended altogether if resources, income, or both have increased.
Generally, new recipients of Extra Help will be selected for review in August after their eligibility begins. For these initial reviews, we compare the information provided by beneficiaries in their initial applications to current information we have in our records. If this comparison points to a change in the level of Extra Help received, we will send the beneficiary a form called Social Security Administration Review of Your Eligibility for Extra Help (SSA 1026). Beneficiaries have 30 days to complete the review form. Any necessary adjustments to the Extra Help will be effective in January of the following year—2010 if the review is done in August 2009.
To learn more about the Extra Help redetermination process, visit www.socialsecurity.gov/pubs/10111.html. To learn more about Extra Help, visit www.socialsecurity.gov/prescriptionhelp.
Spouses Entitled to Benefits, Too
Do some of your clients worry about retirement because their spouses are the primary wage-earners? Let them know that they may be eligible for spouse's benefits based on the work record of their husband or wife. Even people who are divorced may be eligible for spouse's benefits. And there's no extra application to complete — when a married or divorced person applies for retirement benefits, the one application takes care of everything. About 700,000 people apply for spouse's benefits each year. If you know someone who should apply, the best and most convenient way for them to do so is online at www.socialsecurity.gov/applyonline.

Kellogg's boost for school swimming
14 May 2012
Kellogg's has announced a funding package of £100,000, which can be used for school swimming projects that will help increase the number of children learning to swim in the areas that need it most.
Any club, school, pool operator, community organisation or social enterprise, which is a non profit making organisation delivering swim-based activity within the community, can apply for the funding.
Along with the ASA and the Swimming Trust, we're looking to fund swim based activity for Key Stage 2 and Key Stage 3 students, adding value to the school swim programme, addressing gaps within learn to swim programmes and taking place outside the school curriculum timetable.
Projects must compliment existing delivery of swimming NOT replace it.
The National Awarding Panel of the Kellogg's Swim Active Grant will meet during the week of 12th June 2012 and 6th August 2012.
Please click here to view the application guidance information and grant criteria. Please read the guidance information carefully before or whilst completing the application form.
Applications are invited until 12pm on 1st August via email to firstname.lastname@example.com. Applications received in hard copy, via post or after this time will not be accepted.

NEWELL - There were perhaps a dozen people with homemade signs at the gates of Newell Memorial Stadium on Saturday morning, though the unseasonably cold and blustery conditions took a perceptible toll on attendance. Still, a core crowd of protesters braved the unfriendly elements, intent on sending a message to the Hancock County Board of Education.
"We want the stadium to remain in the community," said Jackson Wilson of Lawrenceville, one of the protest organizers. "It should have never come to this." Wilson, a 2011 Oak Glen High School graduate, says Hancock County Superintendent Suzan Smith and board of education members have refused to listen to the concerns of citizens regarding the stadium and its place in the community.
Wilson spoke of his own memories at the field as a former member of the Oak Glen marching band, as well as decades of what he called "shared community experience" at the stadium since it first opened in 1950. "It's really sad to think that this could be sold to somebody that could just tear it down, and the school board doesn't really seem to mind," he said. "It's part of our history, and it should remain so."

Pictured are, (from left) organizer Jackson Wilson, unidentified, Patty Cook and Kathy Railing, with her six-year-old son, Donald. (Photo by Richard Sberna)?
Another source of anger for protesters is the school board's refusal to negotiate with the Chester Volunteer Fire Department. John Hissam, Chester VFD fire chief, was at the protest and explained that the department has made numerous offers up to $300,000 for the stadium property since this past July.
Hissam said the Chester VFD's plans are for the property to be a community park, free except for two weeks each year when the department would use it for their annual Fall Bash fundraiser in September. He feels the Hancock Board of Education is less frank about their plans. "We've tried to help the community in Newell along with helping ourselves," he said. "We've never tried to hide that fact."
Asked why he felt the stadium was so important, Hissam replied that it is the only remaining piece of public property in Newell. "Once it's in private hands, it's gone forever," he said.
When asked why she felt it was important enough to stand outside in such unfriendly weather, protester Kathy Railing of Newell pointed to her six-year-old son Donald and replied, "Right there is the reason." Railing said she worries about the economic burden her children will bear in the future to pay for the new Oak Glen Multi-Sports Complex in New Manchester. She feels it is unfair to compound that with the loss of a safe place for them to play. "For 25 years, our children will be paying these taxes," she said. "The one thing they have left here, they're going to take that too."
Another protester, Laura Null of Chester, wishes she had more information about the board's plans for the site. She fears they would sell the property to a developer who may bring something unwanted to the community, by which time it would be too late. "At least we know what John Hissam and the Chester Fire Department is going to do with this field." Null said that she will remember this when the school board members come up for reelection, and hopes other will do the same.

Gladys de Franco and María de Badillo wrote us informing about the celebration in Ecuador. A major emphasis was put on articles on volunteer work. Four major documents were published in the Sunday supplements of Diario Hoy from Quito and Expreso from Guayaquil. Among the different activities carried on we can mention a walk drive, a music festival, an academic event and a Eucharistic celebration as a thanksgiving event.
Colombia celebrated the International Volunteer Day in several cities. In Bogotá, in coordination with the National Volunteer Network, a Volunteer Center, an Academic Forum on Corporate Volunteers was organized with the participation of over 200 volunteers from different cities of Colombia and a music concert with a recognized choir.
In Venezuela, the celebrations included recognition to volunteers. FIPAN, the National Federation of Private Institutions for the Attention to Children, Youth and families, organized the event in which children, youths, members of the board of private institutions, artists, journalists and other volunteers received recognition for their volunteer work. For more information consult www.colegiosanignacio.com.ve. OSCASI participated very actively in the celebration and sent 3,047 e-mails to congratulate volunteers. Other institutions that organized events to celebrate the IDV were Telefónica, Volunteer Network and Solidarity Week.
Alexandra Touguinha and Heloisa Coelho sent us information of the celebration in Brazil. Through the NGO Parceiros Voluntarios different activities were organized in Rio Grande do Sul in collaboration with Parceiros Voluntarios Network in 73 cities with 193,000 volunteers. Walking activities, seminars and workshops, pamphlets distribution, interviews with mass media to emphasize the importance of volunteer work and the gratification obtained, recreational activities, visits to social organizations, and social events for personal interchange such as dinners and gatherings.
Important recognitions were made to volunteers for their important contributions to the social development in the country. Several interviews in radio, newspapers and televisión networks were presented to greet volunteers and recognized their work.
Rio Voluntario gave special recognition to 10 outstanding volunteers. Among them were Xuxa Meneguel, who conducts TV children programs, and Mr. Olavo Monteiro de Carvalho, one of the leading bussinessmen committed with corporate social responsability. The Deputy Assembly gave recognition to 100 volunteers as a way to thank them for their vounteer work.

Why Alpharetta
International Academy?
By Mrs. Lenore Meeks
Why did we decide to enroll our boys in a Montessori school? The answer is simple, we wanted the best for our boys, and we believe there is no better education than a Montessori-based education.
As parents, we believe their education is our responsibility - our boys are placing the responsibility of their education in our hands. We are the brokers of their future, and we wanted to make sure we enroll them in a place where they will yield the greatest return.
We looked for an environment where our boys would be taught and nourished with excitement and encouragement. And, we wanted our boys to grow in an environment that offers them the freedom to actively explore the world around them while they learn.

5 Math Equations That Change the Way You See the World
#2. Tupper's Self-Referential Formula
Tupper's self-referential formula sounds like an impotence cure sold by a man slicking his hair with snake oil. In fact, it's a mathematical inequality ...
... which outputs the same mathematical inequality.
Told you.
In places where X and Y satisfy the inequality you get black, where it doesn't it's white, and this Manichean math outputs itself. It's the Facebook formula, the mathematical equivalent of social media: You were expecting an intelligent answer, but it just refers to itself. In fact, it's the mathematical equivalent of infinite monkeys, as it eventually produces every possible 106 x 17 pixel image as you scroll through higher and higher numbers.
Jupiterimages/Photos.com/Getty Images
Though most monkey math is applied to fecal ballistics
The formula is just one of many bitmap decoding functions. Any image can be represented as numbers.
Strangely, Brockway's images are always triplets of sixes.
The number for the formula is 543 digits long, so you can expect another hellayottahellayottahellayottayotta-scale number for similar pictures. Making this the smartest, longest, and biggest dick joke we've ever shown:
Quite Excellent Dick.
#1. The Most Beautiful Equation in The World
Euler's identity is regularly chosen as the most beautiful in existence. It isn't just an equation, it's the haiku of mathematics. It's the only artwork that can objectively prove itself true. It's a more beautiful embodiment of numbers than 7 of 9.
This contains more understanding of the truths of the universe than a Shaolin monastery full of Greek philosophers full of magic mushrooms. If you're ever contacted by aliens, shout it quickly: It's the only thing you can possibly say fast enough before they detect reality TV. It contains the five most important numbers there are, more fundamental truths of reality than any five pantheons you care to mention.
Wikimedia Commons
The Greeks were more jock-gods
The imaginary unit is "i." When real numbers couldn't find the root of negative things, we found imaginary ones which could help us solve our problems. That's the calculation equivalent of a Disney movie. And if it sounds impossible, stop using electronics, AC power, and atoms, because imaginary numbers are essential for understanding all of them.
If pi is the keycode for space, Euler's constant "e" is the number of mathematics itself. The rate of change of e^x is e^x, making 2.71828 a perfect point in differentiation and integration, which are everything. Connecting calculus to numerals feels like connecting poetry to prehistoric pond water, but that's pretty much what happened: Something beginning with one trying to plus one to become two eventually led to everything we've ever known. The e is used to calculate so many things you'd swear it was Star Trek-nobabble. It's used in phasor notation, probability theory, calculus, compound interest, and more. It's so powerfully nerdy Google pledged to raise e billion dollars in their IPO.
So you've got the imaginary, oneness, nothingness and two irrational transcendental numbers. It could only be a better calculation of the meaning of life if it equaled 42. And it gets even smarter from there. e to the power of a complex number projects you into the complex plane. Which sounds like something you do to Superman villains when the writer thinks, "Damn, Superman doesn't kill anyone, but we really need to get rid of this guy."
Regular guns? Evil. Eternal banishment to a limbo dimension with inevitable mental breakdown, insanity, and escape to murder countless innocents? No problem
Two dimensional pictures have horizontal and vertical. The complex plane does the same thing with uses realistic and imaginary. Every real number you've ever seen is just a line, an antiquated slide-rule for counting, while complex numbers are the full page where math draws pictures of pure intellect. e^ix draws a circle around the zero point on this complex plane. It's a more incredible imaginary landscape than Dali's.
A curve hasn't been imagined by so many nerds since rumors of the Tomb Raider nude code
2pi takes you around a complete circle, so e^i pi is halfway round the circle at minus one. The formula combines transcendental truths with oneness to reveal nothing. Math is how humanity understands the former instead of the latter.

The first layer is a sweet honey roasted ham which initially hits you before a top layer of salty slow cured gammon kicks your taste buds into overdrive! Often referred to as "the Gammie Special" the middle layer of the "Gamwich" is a mixture of gammon & ham which is cured in a secret method closely garded by the Gammie family.

The Cardinals, under the direction of head coach Rich Maloney, worked out with the strength and conditioning staff at 5:30 a.m. to get ready for the season.
Ball State's Joel Godett went behind the scenes with the baseball team during early morning workouts with baseball strength coach Chase Campbell.
The baseball team plans to make a lot of gains in the weight room and be prepared for the Feb. 14 season opener vs. Morehead State in Spartanburg, S.C.
The Cardinals will play four games in Spartanburg before heading to the Snow Bird Classic in Port Charlotte, Fla., Feb. 21-23.
Ball State is scheduled to open the home portion of its schedule March 14-16 with a four-game series vs. IPFW at Ball Diamond.

MINA – A delivery van was struck by suspected gunfire Thursday morning, Chautauqua County sheriff's officials reported.
Deputies were investigating a 9:15 a.m. report that involved a van traveling west on Interstate 86 that was "struck by a projectile possibly fired from a rifle from the north side of the road," sheriff's officials said.
The incident occurred about three miles east of the Findley Lake exit.
Authorities suspect someone hunting in the area may have fired the shot that struck the van. No injuries were reported.
Anyone with information on hunters in that area is asked to contact sheriff's officials at 753-2131.

5 Things No One Tells You About Being Robbed
I left for work on a Tuesday morning the owner of two laptop computers, two external hard drives, a PlayStation 3, several video games, and a trumpet. When I returned home, I no longer owned any of those things. I also was no longer in possession of my Social Security card, my passport, the title to my car, my personal checks, all of my digital photos and songs, and a few hundred bucks. All I was left with, more or less, were my clothes. I think this is because I mainly shop at sporting goods stores.

Hell yeah.
There's nothing that prepares you for home robbery. Burglars don't stick a "So You're About to Be a Home Invasion Victim" pamphlet in your mailbox a few days before they come to your house. Burglary is a scenario you don't think about because until it happens to you, it's something that only happens to other people. Besides, if you lock your windows and doors, what more can you do besides never leave the house? And even then, your home might get robbed.
Because I was lucky to grow up in a house that was never robbed, and even though I don't ever remember locking a door in college, this was the first time my home had ever been robbed. It was strange. It was emotional. I learned a few things.
#5. Your Imagination Is Worse Than Reality
Comstock/Comstock/Getty Images
My roommate Mike, who owned the house, called me while I was at work to tell me the house had been robbed. I immediately pictured overturned furniture, gang signs spray painted on the walls, and the massive dump the perpetrator had taken on my bed. If you are told about the robbery before you actually see it, you don't envision a crime of convenience happening in your home. You envision Manson-style bedlam. Simple crime seems preventable. Manson-style bedlam is unstoppable.

"Ah shit, Helter Skelter was today?"
Ours, sadly, was just a regular break-in. The house had an alarm. The alarm was on while no one was home. There was one window in the house not hooked up to the alarm. The burglar used that one window to gain entrance, but once inside, he tripped a motion sensor. He probably spent less than two minutes inside the house. With all that quick thieving, it was hardly enough time to work up a decent bed poop.
#4. They Will Take Things You Wouldn't Expect

I was not allowed to enter my room when I got home because the police told Mike they were going to return with bloodhounds, and the police wanted the scent preserved. Yes, I thought, bloodhounds. They'll chase this jerk through the woods and force him to leap from a dam spillway like The Fugitive. Then my roommate got a call. It was raining too hard for bloodhounds to track the scent. It rains about three days a year in Los Angeles, and this was one of them.
Chris Amaral/Digital Vision/Getty Images
And nothing looks more ridiculous in the rain than a bloodhound.
The more I thought about it, the more convinced I was that the police were putting us on. I'm sure this guy drove to the house. In a car. It's LA. What were the bloodhounds going to do, track him to the spot where he parked his car? "Yep! This is definitely where he parked his car before he drove away. Good work, everyone!" Yeah? OK, coppers. Then what's your plan? Can bloodhounds track automobiles across miles of interstate? Are you going to put the bloodhound behind the wheel of one of your Dodge Chargers and keep him on the car's scent? I was promised bloodhounds, damn it. I wanted action and swift justice. It wasn't happening. That's when I started getting angry.
My thoughts in real time as I walked around my room: Laptops -- gone. PS3 -- gone! Where are my pillowcases? They used my pillowcases to carry my stuff out. Fireproof box with my IDs, hard drives, and other valuables -- all fucking gone. What the FUCK? Where's my trumpet? "They took the trumpet," I yelled to my friends in the living room, as if this injustice would cause them all to ball their fists and punch the wall and go "Not the trumpet, Joe, anything but the trumpet." But I loved that trumpet. My parents gave it to me when I was a kid, and I still played. The trumpet, along with the digital photographs, which I had backed up in three places, all three of which were stolen, will never be replaced.
Comstock/Comstock/Getty Images
If only the moat had been completed on time.
I calmly walked out of my room, through the living room, past my friends, entered the back porch, closed the sliding door behind me, and unleashed a primal yell. In the movie version of this moment, birds will scatter from a forest canopy and a monkey will scurry for cover beneath an aloof rhinoceros.
#3. You Will Become a Worse Person
Thomas Northcut/Lifesize/Getty Images
That night and the next day, I canceled my credit cards, canceled my ATM card, downloaded applications for a new Social Security card and passport, changed my email passwords, made a list of all of my missing stuff for the police and the insurance company, looked up how much all my stolen stuff cost (around $3,000), drove to two banks, closed and opened two accounts, emailed my family to tell them what happened, called Sony to see if my PS3 could be tracked when the next user goes online (answer: no), and went to Bed, Bath & Beyond to buy new pillowcases.
Jupiterimages/Polka Dot/Getty Images
Shopping through tears is easier than you'd think.
The Bed, Bath & Beyond trip aggravated me the most. This very nice woman greeted me when I entered the store and said, "Hi. How are you doing?" I responded, "Fine." But I did so in a tone I had never used before. It was a tone that I recognized from past conversations with women, always from them and aimed at me. The woman says "fine," but her tone is, "You're too much of a jag to argue with at this point. So -- fine." I am sorry, nice BB&B lady. You are not a jag.

Too much Kain Lucero.
Too many turnovers.
Not enough baskets.
And too much Kain Lucero for Bayfield High School.
Lucero and the senior-dominated Pagosa Springs Pirates reinforced their No. 3-state ranking Friday night with a 65-38 high school basketball victory over the BHS boys.
Led by their senior point guard, who finished with 20 points and 10 assists, the Pirates dominated the Intermountain League game with an explosive 16-2 start.
�I like to get my teammates involved early,� Lucero said. �It helps me out when ... they score early because I like to score at the end.�
He also likes to score at the free throw line, where he was 7 of 7 on the night.
�We know we�ve got to come in focused for each game,� Lucero said of the stunning 16-2 first-quarter surge when he had assists to four different players.
Lucero also hit the first of his three 3-pointers in the early run.
The others came in transition after a rebound or a turnover.
�Those 3s are my favorites ... put it in transition and let it fly,� said Lucero, who credited his teammates as the Pirates extended their record to 11-1, 2-0 in the Intermountain League. Their only loss came against Class 4A Durango.
�Kain�s a three-year starter. He played on varsity as a freshman. He runs the team for us,� Pagosa Springs head coach Randy Sorenson said.
�It�s huge to have the ball in his hands.�
He said the Pirates wanted to get a fast start against a Bayfield team that was hungry for its second win of the season.
�It�s easier for us to play with the lead,� Sorenson said.
�Once we get a lead, we feel like we have control of the game,� said Sorenson, who sent out five seniors to start the game.
Senior Dean Hampton scored 12 points for Pagosa Springs.
Zachariah Griego scored nine. Quinn Smith added seven points and 10 rebounds for the Pirates.
�That�s a tough team,� Bayfield head coach Bill Hesford said outside the quiet BHS locker room after the game.
�I think we came out on our heels and let them jump on us in the first quarter,� Hesford said. �You can�t play behind ... against a team with that kind of firepower.�
After the disastrous first period when they managed only a putback basket by Tyler Kerr, the Wolverines scored 11 points in the second quarter.
Their best offensive output came with a 17-point showing in the fourth quarter, paced by freshman Zane Phelps.
�Zane Phelps has come a long way,� Hesford said of the BHS rookie who led the Wolverines with 10 points.
�He made some jump shots down the stretch,� Hesford said. �He�s going to be a big, strong, physical player.�
Phelps also hit a 3-pointer for the BHS boys, as did Geoff Pope, who finished with seven points.
Trevor Gabbard scored five points off the bench for BHS (1-10, 0-2 IML).
Preston Hardy, who has been sick most of the week, also scored five.
�Our offense was herky-jerky at best,� Hesford said. �Our shot selection was not very good ... we�re going to have to come up with a better offensive game plan next time.�
Hesford praised the contributions of John Arnold off the bench.
�We had good minutes out of him,� Hesford said.
BHS will play at Mancos at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, then the Wolverines will be home next weekend for two more IML games; they will host Centauri on Feb. 1 and Alamosa on Feb. 2.

PECATONICA — It's never more of the same at the Winnebago County Fair, because there's always something different.
That's the case for the 93rd annual Winnebago County Fair that kicks off Tuesday. Organizers expect about 100,000 visitors.
The Voice's Gracia Harrison will perform and there will be more queen contestant pageants than usual.
Twenty-seven lovely ladies will compete for scholarship money, the opportunity to represent the community in parades and a chance to win the State Fair pageant.
Usually county pageants don't have more than 15 contestants, said previous Winnebago County Fair Queen Lorianne Roberston, also fair spokeswoman.
"I recruit like crazy," Robertson said. "It's just a really good experience for the girls. A lot of girls are taking a chance and just doing something out of the box for them. That's really awesome."
This year's brochure lays out more than 100 pages of activities, sponsors and the livestock competition categories.
Robertson has to manage the fair from an office. But she loves looking outside her window and seeing children having fun on the rides and strolling the grounds. And visitors learn about the farming community, which she said ultimately is the backbone of America.
"There's just so much of life that revolves around agriculture that people just don't usually understand or see," Robertson said. "If it wasn't for agriculture, we wouldn't have food. If it wasn't for agriculture, we wouldn't have clothes."
Rich Bean, the fair board's president, said the event keeps getting better and the fair board is always looking for more ways to improve.
But there are still nerves every year on the eve of the fair.
"You have rain," Bean said. Besides the constant need to raise money for the fair and the constant fear of not having enough money, "that's the other thing that hurts us really bad."

For those of you who have not followed or participated in our effort to develop a Vision Plan for the town of Summerville, let me update you. The town has never had a Vision Plan. Council decided that with all the pressures of growth were experiencing the time was ripe to look at current assets and future needs over the next 25 years.
The town advertised for firms interested in preparing the plan in the fall of 2013. Five companies responded and council interviewed each of them in lengthy sessions. Bids ranged from $160,000 to over $400,000. After careful consideration council chose The Lawrence Group, whose bid was $213,000. They began work in November by interviewing council and staff, stakeholders, property owners, developers, and a cross section of residents and local leaders.
In February they conducted a well publicized weeklong planning charette at the Cuthbert Center in Azalea Park. Sessions ran well into the evening hours to accommodate residents who work and 500 residents came forward to express their ideas about Summervilles needs for the future.
The Vision Plan is a large document with lots of information and illustrations and is available on the towns website at www.summerville.sc.us. An overview of the plan was presented by The Lawrence Group at our June council meeting and council gave it first reading.
This plan is not a permit to build houses, shopping centers, roads, parks, schools, or other municipal facilities. It is vision of what Summerville could look like in 2040. For any of these wish list projects to take place, property owners, developers or public entities will have to find funding and follow the normal approval process.
I compare the Vision Plan to a Rubiks Cube because over the next 25 years there will be many twists and turns as our leaders guide development in our town. Guiding principles of the Vision Plan are to keep Summerville family friendly, connect Summerville to the region with transportation choices, offer rich economic opportunities, maintain our small town charm and have a leadership team that makes smart investments that yield high results.
The plan was aired last week by the town Planning Commission for public comment. Some expressed concern that 880 new housing units could potentially be built in the downtown area through infill and redevelopment of vacant or underutilized sites. Those houses could be built under current zoning regulations but that does not mean they will be. Others expressed frustration over our traffic congestion and fear future development will only make things worse.
Town Council is keenly aware of our traffic problems and we have plans for a new road into Summerville from the new Sheep Island Interchange that should be under construction this time next year. I personally, along with Town Engineer Russ Cornette, am working with the state Department of Transportation and others on completion of the last leg of the Berlin G. Myers Parkway.
Summerville will be dramatically impacted by the thousands of new homes and apartments being built in the East Edisto project just south of town and the Nexton project just north of town. Those new families will be using our streets and parks and recreation facilities and yet we have no control over that.
That is why it is absolutely critical that we have a Vision Plan for the things we can control within the city limits.
