Have finally looked at the on-demand video (after missing the livestream). For those who listened repeatedly to Scott in the K and C:
Am I the only one who heard him say, "Good luck," to Marina as she was departing the K and C? I presume that she was on her way to D/W for their FD, and that his words by extension were in support of D/W too.
I hope that my ears were not deceiving me. Yes, Scott takes every competition very seriously, but his instincts for good sportsmanship, friendship, and loyalty are strong too.
Wasn't it Oksana Gritschuk who had a brawl with Usova? Oksana G had an affair with Zhulin, who was married to (and skating with) Usova at the time.
I doubt most of these skaters will ever want to miss the WTT. Even the last place team is going home with a very nice amount of prize money.
why is there such a big gap between D/W and V/M?
V/M skated at 90%, D/W at 110%. V/M were tentative and not as sharp as they were at Worlds. D/W gave their best performances of the season.
Hence the gap.
These teams are thisclose in talent and ability. Each one has to skate full out, and the team that skates the best on the day is going to win. At WTT, it was D/W.
Then again, I am quite skeptical of all righteous defenders of good ethics and high moral standard that seem to particularly overpopulate certain parts of WWW. I know I am far from such high standards because I am an average human being so I wonder how come so many saints seem to congregate here?
Finally, all said and done, I don't believe Scott really hates this event. He is joker, you can't take what he says seriously half of the time. Charlie White said as much after the GPF and given the two of them know each other so well, I think Charlie is probably far more credible than some self-claimed saints on internet, just my $0.02
Oh he said it. I rewatched it several times just for the entertainment value
It was as funny as Team France/Italy antics in the K&C. At least he's not fake with his feelings

Beating bad teams not all that impressive for PSU, but routing them is
November 4, 2012 - Cory Giger
Considering that there are three games left, these are three of the biggest things we learned about Penn State from Saturday's 34-9 trouncing of a very poor Purdue team.
1. The Nittany Lions no longer play down to their level of competition: It's been blowout city, which is a testament to Bill O'Brien keeping his foot on the pedal even with big leads.
There's a good news, bad news element to keep in mind.
First the bad news. People should be careful thinking PSU is better than it really is based on being 6-3 and beating some awful Big Ten competition. Purdue and Illinois are both 0-5 in the league, while Iowa (2-3, just lost to Indiana) is falling apart. The non-con win over Temple isn't anything to brag about, either, because the Owls have collapsed with three straight blowout losses in the Big East.
The good news, though, is in the way Penn State has beaten those teams. The games haven't been close -- the Purdue rout, 35-7 vs. Illinois, 38-14 vs. Iowa, 24-13 in a game that wasn't that close vs. Temple -- the vastly inferior opponents never really had a chance, and those three Big Ten wins were all on the road.
Joe Paterno's teams often had a way of letting inferior teams hang around with his conservative game plan.
O'Brien has a way of turning those kind of games into routs.
Penn State beat Purdue 23-18 at home last season. The teams have very similar rosters this year, but O'Brien's game plan and vastly superior offensive scheme helped the Lions throttle the Boilermakers on Saturday.
O'Brien was still running the NASCAR offense and still throwing the ball up 34-3. Maybe that's how it will be all the time, but there's also something else to keep in mind.
O'Brien clearly holds grudges, like against Illinois' Tim Beckman, and doesn't mind running up the score against a coach like that. Purdue's Danny Hope, at Big Ten media days before the season, didn't come right out and say he would recruit PSU players, but he did suggest he would do whatever he could to improve his team.
Not much was made of that going into the game, like it was against Illinois, but O'Brien seemed to enjoy rubbing it in against Hope.
O'Brien plays to win and, obviously, doesn't know the meaning of the word conservative. While that might hurt him occasionally in some games, like it did with over aggressiveness against Ohio State, Penn State probably will reap the benefits more often than not because he's not going to let up against opponents.
2. There's still a lot to play for: The Nittany Lions can't play in the Big Ten title game, but they could have a big say in who does, for both the Leaders and Legends divisions.
With no bowl possibility for four years, one prevailing thought has been that PSU would have little motivation late in the season during the NCAA sanctions. That might be the case during one or more of the next three years, but the Lions have a great opportunity to be a big spoiler this season.
Nebraska is 4-1 and tied with Michigan atop the Legends Division. The Cornhuskers have the tiebreaker over the Wolverines from their head-to-head win, but a Penn State victory in Lincoln this week would make things tougher on Nebraska.
Now, Michigan probably will lose to Ohio State, so even if the Cornhuskers fall to PSU, they'll still have a strong shot to win the division if they finish with two league losses.
If Wisconsin (3-2 in Big Ten) beats Indiana (2-3) this week, the Badgers will lock up the Leaders Division berth in the Big Ten title game. But if the Hoosiers win, it would make Penn State's final two games very meaningful.
Indiana visits Beaver Stadium in two weeks, and if that's coming off a win against Wisconsin, the Lions would be in position to spoil things for the Hoosiers.
Wisconsin comes to Penn State to close the regular season, and depending on what happens with Indiana the rest of the way, the Badgers might need a win there to capture the division.
Conversely, if Wisconsin beats Indiana this week, Penn State's final two games could have little luster. Thanksgiving break starts for the students Nov. 16 -- most will leave after Friday classes and may not return until the Sunday after the Wisconsin game -- so their absence for the final two home games could make for some lackluster environments.
3. O'Brien benching Bill Belton on Saturday sent a great message to this team and future teams: Work hard in practice or you're not going to play, even if you're a starter.
It's become clear that Zach Zwinak, who had 134 yards Saturday, is the best running back on the team, so it wasn't a surprise to see him start against Purdue. It was very surprising, though, that Belton played only one snap all night, leading everyone to believe he was injured.
"He wasn't hurt," O'Brien said before adding, "You've got to earn it on the practice field."
O'Brien noted he talked to Belton about that, and hopefully the message got through.
"That's how Coach O'Brien coaches," running back Michael Zordich said. "You work in practice for Saturdays, and if you've had a good week, you're going to play. That's how he does it, and that just makes you compete."
If O'Brien can bench the starting running back, it should reverberate to everyone on the team that they'd better give their best effort all the time. And when things start to get rough over the next few years because of the sanctions, O'Brien demanding that his players give it their all will help keep the team as competitive as it can be.
SUBHD: Afterthoughts ...
* Nebraska opened up as an 8 1-2 point favorite over PSU, but the number dropped to 7 just a few hours later.
* I was thinking the point spread would be about 5, but with tackle Jordan Hill unlikely to play because of his knee injury, that's a big loss for the Lions' defense going against a good dual-threat quarterback in Taylor Martinez.
* If Purdue is serious about its football program, Danny Hope will not be the head coach next season. That was a bad hire by Boilermakers athletic director Morgan Burke. Hope is 19-27 overall and 10-19 in the Big Ten in his four seasons, and it's obvious this year's team has quit on him.

I've been reading "Rolling Stone" since I was a teenager living close to Frisco, CA. *Think I was 14 when I first started reading it! RS always had the most interesting stories on the Musicians that are popular at the moment; and/or past musicians that you'd like to hear what they've been UP to lately! I can never get enough of my Rolling Stones! BTW the mag is Highly Collectable! As soon as you buy one, it already has increased in appreciation! True. Another thing about RS, it's not limited to musicians, NO! There's also stories about famous Stars, interviews that ask the questions you want to hear, and gives you the unedited answers you want to hear! NO editing is alot more interesting than other mags that 'bleep' out those certain words most of us use too.Let's face it, the 'words' are all over the TV & online, there's NO getting around it! That's one thing that drew me to it long ago; they've NEVER pulled any punches, & I doubt ever will~!! Gimme my RS mag, with all it's many moments of Insight & reputable memories! Buy one & SEE for yourself!

I love the political articles. they are up to date. great interviews
I can still remember a piece I read in a Rolling Stone issue some 15 years ago; it's one of the reasons I decided to become a writer. The pieces will entertain and enlighten, and some part of the material will stick with you months after you read it. Whether the writers are covering a well-known subject, or one that's just emerging, you can't help but be impressed by the way they get to the heart of the matter, asking questions and getting details you wish you could remember to do if you ever found yourself in these same situations or in front of these same subjects. Reading these articles is probably the closest I'll ever get to some of these topics and people, and in the writers' capable hands, I'm fine with that.
Rolling Stone is a great magazine to keep updates on music and entertainment. It also has great in-depth articles on politics and other important issues. I look forward to every issue.
I have always enjoyed this magazine and remember when my father was a subscriber. The political articles tend to reflect a definite liberal slant, but if you can get past that it's fine.
I'm an old member of the counter-culture circuit of the sixties and so have been subscribing on and off (mostly on) to Rolling Stone since the early 70's.
Love getting my Rolling Stone in the mail. In addition to the immense amount of music info, there are always interesting political articles. Great magazine!
Rolling Stone Magazine is a household name that I hope to view poetry in music as a new trend to grasp.
Been reading Rolling Stone since the first issue. Always reliable reportage and some breakthroughs over the decades.

Rolling Stone Magazine Subscription
Rolling Stone is not just a magazine, they are an institution. You never hear it brought up in a conversation where someone asks "Rolling…what?" It's like MTV, Google, Chevrolet, The Dallas Cowboys, …Rolling Stone. It's been a part of our culture for so long now that even in the internet age, this name is synonymous with the biggest names in the music scene.
The biggest acts, the most-coveted festival tickets, the newest videos, the best photos - you're always going to find those in this magazine and on their website. And it will be that way for as long as we have magazines and musicians. Every kid who picks up a guitar or a microphone wants to be on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine.
On the other hand, most non-entertainers want to avoid it. And that's really where Rolling Stone shines above and beyond other music magazines; it takes that rock and roll ethos and aims it outward. Do you want to read about rebel fighters in Latin America? How about a scathing exposé on some of the bailout CEOs? Curious what's going on with the Presidential candidates? All of this has absolutely nothing to do with The Edge's guitar pedalboard or the latest Bon Iver release (those are there, too), but it fits. It's not just a glitzy photobook about rock stars.
Of course, at its core, Rolling Stone is, and always has been, a music magazine. Reviews of the latest releases (not just music, but movies, DVDs, and books), interviews, articles… they're all there like you'd expect. And honestly, the reason you expect it is because that has been Rolling Stone's way from the beginning.
New music magazines come and go, and some of them are really excellent, but this standard was set decades ago. Rolling Stone always manages to pry something else, something new, something more personal out of artists, and that, really, is the crux of it.
We still look up to rock stars, on some level, and to have a glimpse into how they think and feel; that's still something that keeps your attention.
Thanks for stopping by Magazines.com and for taking the time to check out my Rolling Stone magazine subscription review.

Associated Press
The Atlantic Coast Conference presidents have agreed to allow the league to retain television rights for any school that leaves the conference.
The league said Monday each of the current and future schools has signed the deal, which is effective immediately.
The grant of rights would appear to make the league more stable by essentially locking all 15 schools into the ACC through the length of a TV deal, including eventual new arrivals Pittsburgh, Syracuse, Notre Dame and Louisville. Awarding control of those TV rights — and, more importantly, the money that comes with them — to the league means that a school would have to leave its TV rights behind if it chose to go elsewhere.
Those rights would stay with the ACC, meaning the departing school wouldn't bring any added TV value to a new league's broadcast package.
The ACC is the fourth major conference to approve a grant of TV rights, joining the Big 12, Big Ten and Pac-12.
"This announcement further highlights the continued solidarity and commitment by our member institutions," ACC Commissioner John Swofford said in a statement. "The Council of Presidents has shown tremendous leadership in insuring the ACC is extremely well positioned with unlimited potential."
The move would be a promising sign of stability for the ACC, which had been besieged by rumors that some of its highest-profile members might consider following Maryland out the door and jumping leagues. Its existing TV deal with ESPN runs through the 2026-27 season.
The league will add Pittsburgh and Syracuse in all sports this summer, while Notre Dame will join in all league sports except football. Louisville — which won the NCAA men's title, reached the NCAA women's final and won the Sugar Bowl this season — will replace Maryland in 2014.
The ACC and ESPN extended their TV deal last May, which was worth $3.6 billion over 15 years with an average of about $17.1 million for each of the 14 schools. That was up from a 12-year deal worth $1.86 billion — more than $12.9 million per school — announced in July 2010.

Sudden death syndrome was recently confirmed in soybeans in the southeast, central, and east central districts of Nebraska.
A soil-borne fungal disease, SDS produces a very resistant survival structure that is not affected by crop rotation.
Research at Iowa State University has shown that the SDS pathogen also survives well on corn kernels on the soil surface.
This is relevant to Nebraska producers who have had SDS in their fields and this year experienced late season hail with grain loss. These kernels could serve as a site for this and other fungal pathogens to overwinter.
SDS was first confirmed in Nebraska in 2004 and often is contained to areas within a field.
Brown stem rot has been a disease of Nebraska soybean for many years.
Differences Between SDS and Brown Stem Rot
Foliar symptoms of SDS are similar to those of brown stem rot.
However, stem damage is different.
Split the stem to more closely exam symptoms.
With brown stem rot the center of the stem will be discolored and typically will be brown from the soil line upward.
With sudden death syndrome, discoloration will be confined to the outer layers of the split stem.
The center will not be discolored, but the root cortex will be light gray to brown and may extend up the stem.
As with many plant diseases, the main management option is to select resistant varieties.
Correct diagnosis is important so you're aware of the pathogens in this year's crop that may overwinter and cause problems for next year's harvest.
Fields with high SDS should not be planted early in future years and should be managed to reduce any compaction issues.
Rotation will not affect SDS.
Fields with brown stem rot will benefit from longer rotations.
Foliar fungicides are not recommended for managing either disease.
For more information on this disease see:
— "Good Harvest in Corn Should Help Manage Soybean SDS," by X.B. Yang and S.S. Navi, Department of Plant Pathology, Iowa State University.
— "Answers to Questions about Soybean Sudden Death Syndrome in Iowa 2010," by Alison Robertson and Leonor Leandro, Department of Plant Pathology, Iowa State University

He moved with his parents, Abia and Margaret Pearson Minor, to Greene County, Pennsylvania in 1796. The War of 1812 veteran remained in the Whitely Creek area for the duration of his life, serving as a financial lender, land speculator, cattle dealer, and farmer. He married Hannah McClelland about 1815, and had two children, Abia born 3 July 1816, and Robert born 11 April 1817. After her death in 28 April 1817, John married Isabella McClelland on 24 September 1817, and together they had 9 children: Hannah (6 June 1818-?); Mary Ann (19 January 1820-?); Margaret (5 November 1821- ?); Rebecca (29 November 1823-5 July 1891); Samuel Pierson (23 August 1825–27 August 1909); Francis Marion (23 November 1828–4 August 1913); Sarah Ellen (10 September 1833–21 October 1862); Frances Caroline (9 May 1833–21 October 1862). Isabella died at home on 14 August 1863. John P. Minor left the family farm to his son Francis Marion on the condition that he be allowed to remain at the farm for the duration of his life–at no cost.

Answering the call to action
20 June 2005
That bright sunny day with a false blue sky betrayed us. Now six months on, I have lost count of the tears this monster caused us.
My first trip to Sri Lanka's southern coast was on 27 December. It was a ghostly drive in the dark that changed my life forever.
There were boats, houses, furniture, jet skis and people's personal belongings strewn on the road. I wanted to stop, pick them up and give them back.
People were in temples, churches and schools. They didn't know what had happened to their lives.
Walking through devastated villages, I found a family's photographs, a wedding picture, the photo of a first birthday.
I carefully picked them up and leant them against a broken wall. A child's teddy bear, bruised and battered, lay near by.
Glorious unity
Then came phone calls from friends abroad who wanted to send money. I felt uplifted. I could take action. We were not alone. Help was on its way, the world was crying with us.
Food, clothing and essential items were purchased. I gathered friends and strangers to help pack the supplies and deliver them to the needy.
For a few weeks there was glorious unity. No question of faith, race, rich or poor - we were simply together.
More money was coming in. I shopped and shopped.
More people came to pack. They talked to us about what they had seen and experienced that sunny day. It was a form of counselling for all of us.
I tried not only to give things that were necessary for survival, but small things that would put a smile on a child's face - bubbles to blow, cricket bats, drawing books and crayons.
The children in turn gave me hundreds of drawings. The awful tragedies they witnessed were put on paper - people and animals floundering in deep water, bodies. One picture had a red sun upside down in the sea. Everywhere there was the huge wave.
Worth the effort
I held an exhibition and sale of these drawings and gave the families the money.
The smiles were worth the effort. I distributed 1,000 school bags and other school supplies. School meant routine in the children's disrupted lives.
We tried to console those who had lost a child or other relatives.
At that time the words "transitional housing" were on everyone's lips. I was excited for those people who were getting a little home of their own.
We bought everything they needed for their kitchens.
A lorry was hired and help was given to everyone I knew so that they could move to those rows of wooden houses or tent camps.
But I had to hide my disappointment at how little was on offer to the people and tell them that everything would be fine.
On visits I would make myself sit inside those sauna-like rooms. When it rained the noise was unbearable. The roof was made out of metal.
I am working in several villages.
I have helped people replace lost hearing aids. We have bought sewing machines, cooking utensils for people in catering, fishing nets, and in one case material and clothes for a lady to reopen her shop.
I'm providing financial assistance to a 34-year-old woman who has cancer - she has three little girls. When she is gone they will need help.
There is the four-year-old boy with cerebral palsy. His mother is very young - she doesn't really know how to help him.
Then there is lovely six-year-old Hiruni. Her mother had four miscarriages before giving birth to Hiruni. But weighing just one kilogram, she entered this world too early.
She has Down's syndrome and a hole in the heart. Her home was flooded during the tsunami. She will be operated on this month - a gift of life for her.
Ever-present fear
Permanent housing, that's the dream. Ordinary people and private organisations are beginning to make the dream a reality.
But rebuilding has been banned in a 100-metre buffer zone from the shore. People who were living there are wondering if they will get any land to call their own.
I've also learned painful lessons from the tsunami - there will always be the ones who cheat and lie.
I expected so much to change; those first few weeks of unity gave me false hope. My own frustrations must always be contained. I must tread softly.
I have become tsunami weary, but I will not stop.
The fear of the tsunami is ever present.
I often see homes with one or two large plastic bags packed and ready outside the front doors - just in case.

CD-adapco is the world's largest independent CFD focused provider of engineering simulation software, support and services. We have over 30 years of experience in delivering industrial strength engineering simulation.
Aim: To analyze the influence of the needle type, insertion depth, and irrigant flow rate on irrigant flow pattern, flow velocity, and apical pressure by ex-vivo based endodontic irrigation computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis.
Methods: Human upper canine root canal was prepared using rotary files. Contrast fluid was introduced in the root canal and scanned by computed tomography (CT) providing a three-dimensional object that was exported to the computer-assisted design (CAD) software. Two probe points were established in the apical portion of the root canal model for flow velocity and pressure measurement.Three different CAD models of 27G irrigation needles (closed-end side-vented, notched open-end, and bevel open-end) were created and placed at 25, 50, 75, and 95% of the working length (WL). Flow rates of 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, and 0.4 mL/s were simulated. A total of 60 irrigation simulations were performed by CFD fluid flow solver.
Results: Closed-end side-vented needle required insertion depth closer to WL, regarding efficient irrigant replacement, compared to open-end irrigation needle types,which besides increased velocity produced increased irrigant apical pressure. For all irrigation needle types and needle insertion depths, the increase of flow rate was followed by an increased irrigant apical pressure.
Conclusions: The human root canal shape obtained by CT is applicable in the CFD analysis of endodontic irrigation. All the analyzed values –irrigant flow pattern, velocity, and pressure – were influenced by irrigation needle type, as
well as needle insertion depth and irrigant flow rate.

What is an abscessed tooth?
When a tooth persistently throbs and keeps you up at night with pain, it could be something more worrisome than a simple toothache. An abscessed tooth is an infection within a tooth that has spread to the root...

George Frideric Handel's "Messiah" was composed in 1741 and is one of the most popular works in choral literature. The oratorio was written in three sections: The Prophesy of the Coming of Christ; Christ's Passion and Resurrection; and the Promise of Eternal Life.
The first and second sections are most often performed. The "Hallelujah Chorus" concludes the second section of the work, but is most often heard as the finale of the first section. It is believed to be one of the most divinely inspired pieces ever written. Today, it is a tradition to stand for the "Hallelujah Chorus."

In "The Betrayal of the American Dream," Donald L. Barlett and James B. Steele revisit their 1991 Inquirer series, "America: What Went Wrong," in which they forecast a decline of the middle class. Now, they document how actions going back three decades have left millions of Americans in economic ruin. Excerpts from their book continue in Currents every Sunday through Aug. 19.
Of all the statistics that show how the rules are changing for middle-class Americans, here is one of the most alarming: Since 1985, corporations have killed 84,350 pension plans - each of which promised secure retirement benefits to dozens or hundreds or even thousands of men and women.

The Mirror will publish pet obituaries each Monday.
"Judging from the reaction we've received over the years on stories about animals, along with the events the Mirror has sponsored, we know this area is especially passionate about their pets," said Mirror Managing Editor Neil Rudel. "We thought this would be a way to help dignify the passing of the family pet, along with bringing added readership to the Mirror."
The Mirror pet obituary desk will be staffed weekdays between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. by Linda Richards, who can be reached at 946-7453.
Obituaries should be emailed to firstname.lastname@example.com or submitted through the Mirror's Virtual Newsroom at www.altoonamirror.com and clicking on Submit News and the Community category for Pet Obituaries.
Pet obituaries will be published as space permits and in the order they've been received.
The cost for an obituary of 150 words or less will be $25. Obituaries between 150 and 250 words will cost $40.
Article PDFs
More than 250 words will be $75.
Pictures will be an additional charge. One-column photos up to three inches deep cost $15. Two-column photos up to four inches deep will cost $40, and three-column photos up to six inches deep will cost $55. Photos will be run in color.
Prepayment is required before the obituaries are printed. They can be paid for in cash, with a check or by credit card. Once printed, pet obituaries will also be posted under the Life tab on www.altoonamirror.com.
Though the pet obituary desk is only from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., obituaries can be mailed to: Pet Obits, Altoona Mirror, 301 Cayuga Ave., Altoona, PA 16602 or dropped off during business hours (9 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays). Pet obit forms to assist you are available at the receptionist's desk or by clicking on the attached PDF file.
A pet obituary received via email or by hard copy will be written or edited and re-read to the person who submitted it before it's published.
Readers from outside of the Mirror coverage area who would like to have their pet obituary published on the Mirror website only can do so for the same price.
The Mirror will also accept "in memoriam" remembrance advertisements through its Classified Advertising department. Those advertisements will be run on the same page as the pet obituaries, and advertising rates will apply. To purchase a pet memoriam ad, call the Mirror Classified Advertising Department at 946-7422 or email email@example.com.
Ten percent of the proceeds from the pet obituaries and memoriams will be donated to the Central Pennsylvania Humane Society.
For more information, call Richards at 946-7453.

Firefighters worked to douse a blaze at a popular 50s-style Orlando eatery overnight.
Raw Video: Fire scorches Orlando diner
Heavy smoke and flames were already pouring from the 5 & Diner on East Colonial Drive when firefighters arrived.
A passerby spotted the fire about 2:45 a.m. and called 911.
The 3,000-square foot structure was significantly damaged. Firefighters were able to knock down the blaze, but they were still dealing with smaller flare-ups well after 5 a.m.
The diner is located just west of the State Road 408 intersection.
No one was injured. It was not immediately clear what caused the fire. Officials will investigate.

Continue left onto Hwy. 73/West Catawba Ave. for another 1.9 miles to Beatties Ford Rd. Turn left and proceed 3.6 miles to Neck Rd. Turn right on Neck Rd. and continue for approximately 2.2 miles. The entrance to Rural Hill is on your right. History and Description Rural Hill Nature Preserve protects 487 acres adjacent to Mountain Island Lake, including 3.2 miles of shoreline. Parcels for this property were acquired between 1991 and 1993. Much of the preserve (265 acres) is managed as a historic site in partnership with the Catawba Valley Scottish Society. The land that is now Rural Hill was formerly owned by Major John Davidson. Davidson settled here in 1760 and built a magnificent plantation home on this land in 1788. He was a signer of the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence in 1775 and served in the Mecklenburg County militia during the American Revolution. He and his wife Violet had 10 children and developed a very prosperous life here on the Carolina Piedmont. The Davidson mansion burned down in 1886 and all that remains are some of the pillars to the house and a few related outbuildings. Education and Programs Rural Hill is the site of several annual festivals including the Rural Hill Scottish Festival and Loch Norman Highland Games (April), the Amazing Maize Maze (late September – early November), and the Sheep Dog Trails (November). The Catawba Valley Scottish Society also offers educational programs for groups. Guided site tours are $6 per person. The Rural Hill is generally open to the public 10 a.m. - 3 p.m., Monday- Saturday, but may depend on staff availability. Parking is near the farmhouse at 4431 Neck Rd, Huntersville. Call ahead for availability and details at 704.875.3113 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com. Amenities Today you can still see some original structures that were part of the Davidson family's Rural Hill plantation, including a well house and ash house. A farm house serves as the headquarters of the Catawba Valley Scottish Society. On the first floor of the house, one room has been decorated with furnishings provided by May Davidson, a descendant of John Davidson. Another room serves as a museum of the Davidson Family and other important early families of the region with Scottish or Scots-Irish heritage. In addition to the Davidson plantation, preserved on the site is the one-room Davidson Schoolhouse, as well as the Bethesda African-American Schoolhouse. The latter was relocated to Rural Hill. Also within Rural Hill is the privately-owned Davidson Family Burying Ground – a cemetery for the John Davidson family and his descendants. For more information about Historic Rural Hill Inc., go to http://www.ruralhill.net/. Trails A loop trail goes around the perimeter of the historic Rural Hill farm and is approximately 2.5 miles long. Flora and Fauna The hayfields of Rural Hill provide habitat for some locally rare or uncommon nesting birds. Grasshopper Sparrows (rare) have been found here during the nesting season. Killdeer can often be seen along the driveways to the farm house. Throughout the year look for Eastern Bluebirds, Savannah Sparrows and Eastern Meadowlarks. In summer scan the power lines along Neck Road for Blue Grosbeaks and Indigo Buntings. The high terrain and open fields of Rural Hill provide rural vistas and an opportunity to scan the skies for raptors. Red-tailed Hawks and Red-shouldered Hawks can be seen year round, while in the warmer months (March – November) look for Osprey. Bald Eagle sightings are also possible, due to the preserve's proximity to Mountain Island Lake and the Catawba River. Turkey Vultures and Black Vultures are common.

Current Environmental Sustainability Practices at DC Libraries
Douglas County Libraries just got a little brighter, and a little greener! Through a donation from the Sunflower Corporation, they installed a Sundolier™ daylight system for no cost at the Philip S. Miller Library. Using solar power and a battery, the Sundolier™ will actually follow the sun, tracking its brightest angle, and disburse the natural light through the main room of the library. This should help reduce electric light and cooling demands, and related emissions.

Busted: Workforce W.Va. caught with hand in cookie jar
February 4, 2013
Only after they got caught — that is, after their misbehavior was exposed in the press — did Workforce West Virginia officials agree to stop an outrageous waste of taxpayers' money....
It took 2 years to figure this out? We have potential criminals in many jobs. That is why they have supervisors. The person responsible is the department supervisor. George was taking as many benefits as she could get approved. Yeah! George milked the system. The person responsible is the one who approved her to do it.
14 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
I agree, but the blame should include every person above her as well. In every private sector business each department has a budget that has to be reviewed and approved by top level officials. Fire every one of them...all the way up the line.

Hey, why are we worried, we'll just get more tax revenue from the federal gubment to subsidize this. That's what being a welfare state is all about.

This just didn/t start.This is why all states and this country has a problem it starts at the top.The Governor should and does no about this and they are criminals in many jobs and this my friends is one and allowed to be one by our leaders.This whole group needs to be audit $51.00 a day for meals $100.00 a night and a $62,000 a year whats her or his degree.Fire everyone of them start at the top.excuses dont pay the taxpayers back.

"The person responsible is the department supervisor." Robbery and this person is as responsibl, if not more so, as George. Both should be fired and make to reinburse the taxpayers.
8 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
"Fry said George's special assignment saved the state money." Then why are they making other arrangements?
8 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
If we are to believe George and Fry's explanation as you suggest, then that simply shows that the State is getting bilked and that one of the positions isn't needed at all. If 1 person can easily do 2 jobs for several years, including adding hours of travel, then that simply shows the job shouldn't have been there in the first place.
Why don't we eliminate the whole department and save the taxpayers a bunch of money?
3 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Nice try.
Then they are both even more stupid than I would have thought, since there was obviously room in the budget to hire for both positions and they simply chose to make it unnecessarily difficult.
If both positions (North and South) are actually necessary, then they should be concentrated upon properly by dedicated full-time staff!
It was only that these two individuals decided to have 1 person act as director for both districts and then try to claim it was "for the good".
Yeah, it was for the good of Ms. George...
Eliminate all of Workforce W.Va. as far as I am concerned!

Sounds like what goes on with Charles Town City Council. They waste our resources, do not improve the quality of our lifes and no one cares. The Journal never has any investigative reporting, so why would you think any media outlet would in regard to the State? Anyway, maybe the State would consider taking anti growth City Councilmen Poaennsa, Slover and Bringetot from us in Charles Town so they can waste resources there too. They keep trying to block everything, waste our resources and then at the last minute when they figure out it is going to pass, the hypocrites then vote for it so they cannot be accused on not voting for growth. No growthers and hypocrites, we don't need them in Charles Town, let the State take them. Now before you check that disagree button, how are the sidewalks in front of your house in Charles Town?

Sorry, but nothing was "saved". It only goes to show that one (or both positions) weren't necessary in the first place!
That is like saying that I "saved" $7,000 in incentives by buying a new Dodge Ram truck that I didn't need for $35,000!
Of course, when it is on someone else's dime, then it is all good....

So, just what is the function of Workforce West Virginia? And why does the Assistant Director need to travel so much? $39,000.00 per year is a lot of traveling.

the editorial is on point to critisize commuting expenses for a state employee. however using the title of "...WORKFORCE..." is intended to bring a negative light on the vital service this agency provides for those; who without fault of their own, are suddenly jobless and need a bridge to help stay on their feet until a new job is secured. I used to commute from the pan handle to Rosslyn,VA every day. It was a roundtrip of 217 miles EVERY DAY. I never received a dime for commuting; because my employer (rightly so) said it was my choice to live so far from work. This long term arraingment needs to be curtailed. Either live in Charleston or pay your own way from Fairmont. But after 2 years.. It's time for the employer (state tax payers) to stop paying for a super commute of choice.

90% Nylon/10% Spandex; Lining: 90%Polyester/10% Spandex
Do you think your friend would like to know that DDS has this item? Just fill in the following information and we will let them know!
Fit: Runs very small
These briefs are really high quality, but order a size up. They run very small. I am a XS-S depending on the brand, and I had to order an M.
Age: 15 to 18
Was this review helpful to you? YES (
I have a hard time fitting into leotards because I have a large chest, but I teach ballet so I have to wear a leotard and my staff shirt over the top. Now I can wear my tights and my leotard bottom and staff shirt without being uncomfortable while trying to teach. It's wonderful and comfortable and doesn't ride up while using.
Age: 19-21
Just two words! Love It! This is my first order at discount dance.com and there will be more in the future.
Age: 22-29
The briefs are well made and would likely stay where they need to stay during dance. However, it is unlikely I will wear them because they are too tight in the waist for me. I am 5'2'', 112 pounds and the briefs are a size medium. I, however, do not like anything tight around my waist. My daughter is OK with a tight fit.
I ordered these briefs in black to go under a costume of a short black skirt and purple turtleneck bra. They are comfortable and keep your rear covered even if your doing a lot of extensions and jumps. I am 5'1", 75 lbs and the xs fit me great without being baggy or riding up. The waist band came to right below my belly button, so be considerate if you are wearing low cut pants of skirts. I'm going to buy this style again if I ever need other briefs.
Good fit, comfortable, and well made. Shipped fast
I ordered these briefs for daughter, who normally wears a Child Large, because I couldn't find a Child Large in Ballet Pink. They fit fine. They're a little baggy in the seat but once shifted around fit fine. Positive: we should have them for a while.
Age: 40-49
These briefs are good to wear underneath costumes during performances such as snow and flowers in the nutcracker. They fit very well and are tight enough that they won't fall down. These are also known as "bloomers",
Fit: True to size
Great product, great price, and very comfortable. Shipping was extremely fast.

John Barton and Greg Botta coached together in the Pennsylvania Scholastic Football Coaches Association East West All-Star Football Game a few years ago, and they immediately hit it off.
"We talked a lot of football," Barton said. "What came out of it was I had a lot of respect for him as a coach and as a man."
The two remain in touch, but Barton will be hoping he can discern something from their familiarity to use to his advantage this Friday when he takes his Hollidaysburg Golden Tigers to Murrysville to take on Franklin Regional, coached by Botta, in a key WPIAL Greater Allegheny Conference tilt.
Kickoff is at 7 p.m. Hollidaysburg is 3-3 overall and 3-2 in the conference. Franklin Regional is 5-1 overall and 4-1 in the conference, its only loss coming in the season-opener against Greater Allegheny pace-setter Mars.
"Regardless of the outcome, we're going to be friends. If anything, you want to do better against your friends," Barton said. "He's pretty good about not letting anything go that I could use against him."
The Panthers have come out on top in each of the last two years against the Tigers, but neither was easy. Hollidaysburg led after one quarter in both games before falling 27-20 in 2009 and 28-9 last season.
Botta said he expected nothing less from a Barton-coached team.
"John Barton is a tremendous football coach," Botta said. "He does a fantastic job. He's all about the kids. He makes them better. He's a stickler for detail. He leaves no stone unturned. He'll be ready for this football game. He always gives us fits, and I expect the same thing to happen this week."
Hollidaysburg will be trying to bounce back from a 28-14 loss at home to Hampton. The Tigers actually matched Hampton in total yardage, getting 104 yards rushing from the combination of Reid Miller and Greg Dinges and 97 yards through the air from Brian Urban.
"It was a tough game. It was a game that we had very high expectations for," Barton said. "We feel - and I think the kids feel - that we kind of let that one slip away by giving them opportunities. That was a loss I think that bothered them, and I think they're looking forward to this week."
One of the Tigers' top players is a question mark for the game: Kaleb Springer. Hollidaysburg's leading receiver and starting linebacker was injured last week.
If Springer can't go, Barton said Dan Fleck would get the start at tight end, with Zach Weaver stepping in on defense.
"He's been playing well," Barton said of Springer. "Anytime you lose a kid who's starting and playing well, if affects you."
Expectations also were high for Franklin Regional entering the season after the Panthers went 11-1 and reached the WPIAL semifinals last season with a number of underclassmen starting. Botta, though, felt the media had overly-hyped his team in the preseason, saying he graduated six players on each side of the ball that went on to play college ball as well as changing six assistant coaches in the offseason.
"Based on who we had coming back, I guess people just expected us to walk away with it. But there are a lot of good teams in this conference. We had a lot of kids that were untested, so I just want to put that to rest," Botta said. "What I'm pleased about is how the team has come together."
After opening the season with a 21-17 loss to still-unbeaten Mars, the Panthers have outscored the opposition, 172-23, including a big 23-13 win over Knoch a week ago. Botta has five rushers with at least 100 yards, led by Dane Brown with 333, and quarterback Nico Lodovico has thrown for 733 yards and 10 touchdowns.
Thirteen different Panther players have reached the end zone.
"They have a really nice mix of players who have size - they have a 280-pound fullback [Adam Mihoci], for crying out loud - with some really nice skill kids," Barton said. "Obviously, we're going to have to take care of the football. We're going to have to have consistency offensively. And out defense has to continue to play well."

I'm responding to letter ("Gates on worthy mission") on Feb. 14.
I think that Dr. Gates and people like him should keep their opinions to themselves when it comes to Medicaid and food stamps.
If it wasn't for Medicaid, people on fixed incomes couldn't afford the medications they have to take and without food stamps, there would be a lot of people starving because they have to choose between paying for their prescriptions and buying food on their fixed income.
If it wasn't for Gateway, which is a free health-care insurance, I couldn't afford the medications that I have to take for life, and if it wasn't for food stamps, I couldn't afford to buy food to eat to live.
People like myself have to rely on Medicaid and food stamps to stay alive.
Margaret Walter,

Ericsson could really just benefit from some belief/confidence. He just doesn't seem vocal enough, he needs to believe he's a stud and he will be. He needs to try to be the anchor in his d pairing no matter who he is paired with. He just tries to play second fiddle too often.

In order to call out players like that, you have to prove that they haven't been called out before and are being asked to elevate their game today. There was a time when Ian White was elevated to the top line in San Jose. So to call him out to elevate his play is just like San Jose doing it when he was untested. Look at the man's track record.
IMHO, if you are going to call out players to elevate their games, call out Smith and Kindl. Two players who have never been called out before and are now in a position where they have to step up. You don't call out Kronwall or Ian White or Ericsson. Those are three players who have proven they can step their games up in the past, and I have no doubt they will be able to do it again. In situations where they had to be that top line defensemen or be that power play specialist, they have shown they can step up to the challenge.
Honestly I don't think his season being a complete success has anything to do with points. Sure it'd be great if he put up 30, but that's not going to make or break his season. He needs to continue to be a force on the PK, play solid even strength minutes, and knock the hell out of guys anytime they're around the net or in the corners.
After Ericsson came back from injury Babcock and his teammates were praising him saying how much they needed him on the PK and what a big part of the team he is, I think that gave him some confidence. That's why I think he is going to have a big season. Holland and the coaching staff need to sit him down and say this is where we need you to take steps forward in offence. I truly believe his defence, positioning and everything in his own end is already great, just need to round his game some more. Needs a great first pass, be able to fire off the shot quicker and shoot whenever her can, and work in the offensive zone.
How many points does Ericsson need this year for him to be a complete success?

It sounded to me he was slamming on our defense and "calling them out". I guess it depends on how you took it. I don't mind that you took it differently, as it could have went either way. I see what you mean, but I am merely saying that some of these people he is calling out have already demonstrated they can and have stepped up in the past.
Again, maybe with the exception of White, it didn't sound to me like he's calling anyone out. That implies that they have tried and failed and are getting taken to task for it.
It sounded more like a statement of what will be required of the Wings defense this coming year to make up for the loss of Lidstrom and Stuart. Not any slam on any of the defensemen.
Posted 06 July 2012 - 02:52 AM
So, in other words, none of these defensemen have shown that they can step up in your mind. Correct?

Richmond 1-year-old boy injured in shooting
Baby hit wit bullet fragment in city's Iron Triangle neighborhood
A 1-year-old boy sitting on the floor of an apartment building was seriously injured in a shooting Thursday in Richmond's Iron Triangle neighborhood.
The Contra Costa Times reports the baby was transported to Oakland Children's Hospital to be treated for a neck wound after being struck by a bullet fragment.
Police Capt. Mark Gagan said Thursday afternoon that the boy's condition was stable, but that doctors planned to keep him at the hospital for at least a night.
Police say the baby was with his grandparents when he was hit by a stray fragment of a bullet fired by an as-yet-unidentified shooter in the street outside the apartment building.
The department plans to offer a $25,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of the suspect.
