You, your dog may be sleeping with thousands of fleas
That itch you get while sleeping is likely to be more than just the dog's tail rubbing against your leg; the sensation may be from thousands of fleas that have infested the bed or couch if your pet likes to snuggle with you.
Research shows that fleas flourish in comfy places, making your bed and the dog's sleeping area fertile breeding grounds, according to PDSA, a veterinary charity in Britain.Story continues below----------------------------------------------------------------------A book about a rescue dogthat will touch your heartTHE HUNT OF HER LIFE, is a nonfiction book about Samantha, an unwanted rescue dog who the author adopts at age 2. This nicely designed full-color book, by longtime newspaper journalist and MySetterSam.com publisher Joseph A. Reppucci, contains more than 60 beautiful color photos of dogs to help illustrate the compelling and uplifting story of Samantha - a pretty tricolor bird dog who uses her warm personality to win people over and build a new family after being put up for adoption by a hunter because she is gun-shy and afraid to hunt. Learn how she uses her special bonding abilities with people to help her eventually make a transition from the hunting fields to family life.While reading the The Hunt of Her Life, you will travel with Samantha and the author along a trail filled with surprising twists, sudden turns, mystery and even what some call a miracle. And when the journey is finished, you may never look at people and their pets, motherhood - and perhaps even God - in the same way. The vibrant color photos are carefully positioned throughout the book so you can see images of Samantha and other dogs as you are reading about them, making the story and dogs come alive!Pet enthusiasts will appreciate the deep bond shared between this unwanted rescue dog and the book's author. Their unique closeness helps Samantha to twice defy certain death. Mothers will be touched by the relationship that the author has with his own mother. Their connection helps him to overcome many frustrations and deal with overwhelming odds in his suspenseful nationwide "hunt" to try to locate the unknown birthplace and family roots of his unregistered rescue dog after she eventually succumbs to illness. Those who like suspense will be intrigued and fascinated by the crafty investigative journalism techniques the author uses to try to uncover his dog's family tree. And everyone will be in awe as they come to realize that God all along has been providing a guiding hand in Samantha's journey through life and astonished when they ultimately learn about the mystical gift at the end of this rescue dog's trail.The Hunt of Her Life is must reading. It will take you on a captivating journey - a trip like no other - that will touch your heart.What they are saying:"A wonderful journey made all the more remarkable by the determination of the author to honor his beloved English Setter and her bloodline. Twist after twist, turn after turn, you're never let down as The Hunt of Her Life proceeds toward its uplifting conclusion. Vivid photos complement the intelligent narrative. Don't forget the tissues, but don't worry - there's plenty to smile about, too."- Dick Trust, sports writer (retired),The Patriot Ledger of Quincy, Mass.''The book is terrific! Wonderfully written, and I loved looking at those magnificent color photographs. This book really moved me, and I couldn't put it down. I don't own a dog, but I was inspired by this compelling rescue dog's story."- Matthew Spencer, reporter,Nebraska Life magazine"A wonderful story that is told with love and pride by a fine writer. It's a great tribute not only to Samantha, the rescue dog who is the book's main character, but to rescue dogs everywhere, of all kinds. This book is a must read for all dog lovers."- Maryellen Dever, freelance reporter,Hingham, Mass., JournalAvailable at:

�Fleas thrive in a warm environment, and their larvae feed off debris such as pet dandruff and adult flea feces, making your pet�s bed the perfect breeding ground," Sean Wensleya veterinarian with PDSA, states in a media release. "If your dog or cat sleeps on your bed, then that�s one of the places where the fleas will thrive.�PDSA estimates that some pet beds could contain hundreds of flea eggs at any one time. Fleas can jump about 8 inches high and three feet in distance so within weeks a home can become infested.
�Under favorable conditions a single flea can give rise to a population of 20,000 in just two months because of the rapid rate at which they reproduce,� Dr. Wensleya said.
The keys to preventing and ridding a pet's bed of fleas are keeping the sleeping area clean and using a flea product, Dr. Wensleya said.
But pet parents must be careful when using flea products, Dr. Wensleya said. A dog flea treatment used on a cat or applying more than the recommended dosage can cause fatal poisoning.
�Owners need to use a safe and effective flea treatment product on their pets� said Dr. Wensleya, who advises consulting a veterinary before apply a flea medication. �It is essential that owners regularly use the correct flea treatments in the right manner.�
Dr. Wensleya says flea products bought over-the-counter, from pet shops or supermarkets may be unsafe and less effective than those prescribed by a veterinarian.
Cleanliness also is essential for controlling fleas, so pet parents should regularly wash and vacuum their dog�s bedding and living areas to prevent fleas, flea eggs and larvae from thriving, Dr. Wensleya said. "Your pet�s bed should be washed at least weekly in hot water to ensure all stages of the flea life cycle are destroyed.�
PSDA offers these tips to help control fleas:
- Wash your dog's or cat�s bed once a week in a 60-degree wash to destroy any flea eggs.
- Vacuum to remove pet dandruff and dirt from a pet�s bedding, making it harder for the flea larvae to survive.
- Choose veterinary bedding, which is made of synthetic fur-type material on a woven base. This can be machine-washed and is stay-dry so any moisture will disappear.More reports about dogs and flea, tick and insect control:Pet deaths prompt tougher EPA rules for flea, tick itemsUse of flea, tick products a must despite pet deathsStop ticks from dogging - or killing - your petGet pets ready for invasion of blood-sucking insectsReports about dogs and health:A wonder drug guaranteed to help your petTry this fountain of youth for your petFor pets, your dirty hands are really sickeningThis formula is certain to sicken your petFor your pet, there's rash of trouble in the airOnly saps let their dogs play fetch with sticksThe flu bug can bite your dog, tooPurebred dogs needlessly suffering, report saysAlarming rise in heartworm a threat to petsDog heart medicine research results promisingCushing's drug receives FDA approvalParalyzing diseases of dogs, people linkedMore reports about dogs and healthReports about dogs and oral health:The stinking truth behind smelly dog breathSimple home remedy can add year's to your pet's lifeReports about dogs and cancer:Major breakthrough in canine cancer treatmentFirst-ever canine cancer drug developedMaking strides in fight against canine cancerWorldwide effort to cure canine cancer

We had a great time. The accommodation was good, room was clean and complete. It had a nice parking garage, a bit small but fine.
It was no problem that we arrived late in the evening (car trouble). The breakfast service was convenient and good. We had a great view of the mountains and we got some great advice about the area from the landlord.
We would recommend this accommodation to everyone who loves nature. But you do have to travel a bit (25min) for the first big supermarket.
Convenient to 3 metro lines; furnished; pictures of small rooms accurate; elevator. Shelves and dishes grimy; very noisy street (major road to airport) during week; no trash cans; smelly towels poorly laundered; some musty smells throughout; no Internet (borrowed from neighbor, though).
Very cosy place in a beautiful setting. Will come back for sure.

SALEM - The Salem Memorial & Patriotic Association will hold a wreath laying ceremony at 11 a.m. Saturday on the Village Green at the corner of Lincoln Avenue and State Street to pay homage to veterans.
"We felt it was appropriate to do this in remembrance of those people who have given their lives for our country," Patriotic Events Chairman Sam McKinney said.
The first-ever wreath laying event at the veterans memorial will coincide with Wreaths Across America Day, when the annual Wreaths Across America convoy reaches its final destination, Arlington National Cemetery, from its starting point in the state of Maine.
The wreath laying ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery began in December 1992 when Maine businessman Morrill Worcester had a surplus of wreaths made with live greenery for the holidays and decided to honor deceased veterans.
The sight of row after row of simple white headstones evokes enough emotion on its own at Arlington. The green wreaths adorned with red bows laying against those headstones evoke even more emotion.
Wreaths Across America is now a nonprofit organization which has expanded the wreath laying ceremony beyond the borders of Arlington National Cemetery to locations across the country.
The event in Salem will feature a prayer and the AMVETS Post 45 Honor Guard to escort the wreath, which Mayor John Berlin is scheduled to place. The public is invited to attend.
"We need to support patriotism and those events that remind us to gratefully remember the sacrifice that has been paid by the veterans of our country," McKinney said.
The Salem Memorial & Patriotic Association plans the annual Salem Memorial Day parade and ceremony and previously sponsored the Fourth of July fireworks until the event became too cost prohibitive for the association.
"People need to be reminded for the freedoms we enjoy today, freedom is not free. The sacrifice has been paid by our veterans. We take it for granted," he said.
McKinney said they're hoping to be able to continue the wreath laying ceremony in the future and perhaps decorate the graves of veterans who have died.
To learn more about Wreaths Across America, visit the group's website at www.wreathsacrossamerica.org.

Scientists at the Douglas Institute Research Center, affiliated with McGill University, say they have isolated a gene, DCC, which is responsible for dopamine connectivity in the medial prefrontal cortex during adolescence. Working with mouse models, they have shown that dysfunction of this gene during adolescence has behavioral consequences which carry into adulthood. This project has implications for humans since it has long been known that during the teenage phase of brain development, adolescents are particularly vulnerable to psychiatric disorders, including schizophrenia, depression, and drug addiction.
According to the researchers, this finding provides the first clues towards a fuller understanding of this important phase of brain development. "Certain psychiatric disorders can be related to alterations in the function of the prefrontal cortex and to changes in the activity of the brain chemical dopamine," says Cecilia Flores, Ph.D., senior author on the study and professor at McGill's department of psychiatry. "Prefrontal cortex wiring continues to develop into early adulthood, although the mechanisms were, until now, entirely unknown."
"Adolescence is a period of heightened susceptibility to psychiatric disorders of medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) dysfunction and cognitive impairment. mPFC dopamine (DA) projections reach maturity only in early adulthood, when their control over cognition becomes fully functional," wrote the investigators in an article ("DCC orchestrates the development of the prefrontal cortex during adolescence and is altered in psychiatric patients") in Translational Psychiatry. "The mechanisms governing this protracted and unique development are unknown. Here we identify DCC as the first DA neuron gene to regulate mPFC connectivity during adolescence and dissect the mechanisms involved. Reduction or loss of DCC from DA neurons by Cre-lox recombination increased mPFC DA innervation."
Even subtle variations in DCC during adolescence produce significant alterations in prefrontal cortex function later on. To determine whether the findings of such basic research can translate to human subjects, researchers examined DCC expression in postmortem brains of people who had committed suicide. Remarkably, these brains showed higher levels of DCC expression—about 48% higher when compared to control subjects.
"The prefrontal cortex is associated with judgment, decision making, and mental flexibility, or with the ability to change plans when faced with an obstacle," explained Dr. Flores. "Its functioning is important for learning, motivation, and cognitive processes. Given its prolonged development into adulthood, this region is particularly susceptible to being shaped by life experiences in adolescence, such as stress and drugs of abuse. Such alterations in prefrontal cortex development can have long term consequences later on in life."
By identifying the first molecule involved in how the prefrontal dopamine system matures, researchers now have a target for further investigation for developing pharmacological and other types of therapies. "We know that the DCC gene can be altered by experiences during adolescence," continued Dr. Flores. "This already gives us hope, because therapy, including social support, is itself a type of experience, which might modify the function of the DCC gene during this critical time and perhaps reduce vulnerability to an illness."

MARTINSBURG - When watching the morning news Monday, Berkeley County residents may be surprised to see some familiar faces fill the screen.
Monday, The WatchDOGs, Dads of Great Students, program in Berkeley County is scheduled to be featured on NBC's Today Show.
"The Today show contacted the WatchDOGS because each anchor had to pick a Public Service Announcement topic, and Matt Lauer chose fatherhood. WatchDOGS contacted me because (Berkeley County) is considered a key area of the program," said Jodi Westrope, program coordinator for Berkeley County's WatchDOGS program.

Matt Lauer, front center, sits with Jodi Westrope, program coordinator for Berkeley County's WatchDOGS program, Eric Snow, the National Director of the WatchDOGS program, and local particpating WatchDOG dads at the taping of a feature on the WatchDOGS program for NBC's Today Show.
Implemented seven years ago in Berkeley Heights Elementary School, the WatchDOGS program invites positive male figures in students' lives such as dads, uncles, grandfathers and step-fathers to spend the day at their child's school.
Wearing a special T-shirt identifying them as WatchDOGS, participants help with activities such as bus duty, patrolling the hallways and participating in at least one of their children's classes.
Filming for the segment took place Jan. 8 at Orchard View Intermediate, Hedgesville Middle and Berkeley Heights Elementary School.
"It was incredible. It was a long day, but the kids hung in. They got to see what goes into the filming, and it was really just an amazing experience for everyone," Westrope said.
Westrope was in communication with Today Show representatives for more than two months before the film crew and Lauer arrived. When the show airs, it will be the first time Westrope and participating dads and students will have seen the finished product.
Although the feature has not aired on television yet, Westrope said she already received calls from schools and counties requesting assistance to begin their own program.
"The WatchDOGS program is an important initiative. We are pleased the Today Show selected our county to showcase the program, the students, the dads and the schools," said Manny Arvon, superintendent of Berkeley County Schools, in a press release issued Friday.
In seven years, the program has spread to eight schools throughout the county. Westrope's future goals for the program include continuing to spread the program through Berkeley County and surrounding counties and states. She also hopes to begin implementing the program at the high school level.
"Both the dads and the kids want the dads to be there. It's an incredible program because it has allowed the dads to see a different side of the kids," Westrope said.
The Today Show airs on NBC from 7 to 11 a.m. The inclusion of the WatchDOGS feature is subject to change at the producer's discretion.

Abortions becoming money-maker for PPFA
January 17, 2013
Whether you like him or not, I was glad to see deception uncovered on Bill O'Reilly's show this week. He talked about the tax money spent on the infamous and deadly Planned Parenthood organization....
realitycheck said, "Such intolerance!"
Yes, I really should be more tolerant of ignorance, stupidity and lies from the likes of the Edgars.
We've had years of Edgar letters dripping with self-righteous invective toward people who honestly and rightly disagree with their extremist views on abortion, and you think I'm the intolerant one. I simply call them out on their lies. They call anyone who disagrees with them "baby killers."
0 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
"Let the Edgars start writing letters against divine abortion for awhile and see how that goes."
Hilltop, Maybe you just don't get it. Let me be the first to inform you that the Edgars have the right to write any letter they want. If you want to write a letter in support of "devine abortion" or other nonsense, be our guest. Such intolerance !!!!
1 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Most clinical abortions take place during the first trimester, the same as God-induced abortions.
1 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
If God is to be credited with the "miracle" of child birth, then he/she/it should also get credit for being the biggest abortionist ever, with up to 75% of ALL pregnancies ending in miscarriage (estimate including fertilized eggs which do not implant--otherwise 30%). God even does it for free.
Let the Edgars start writing letters against divine abortion for awhile and see how that goes. They seem to think they have a direct line to the big guy.
1 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
"Planned parenthood actually prevents more abortions than it provides, by providing women with the education and access to contraception and how to use it properly".
Do they teach reading comprehension in the schools? The Edgars shot down the above comment with facts. To Planned Parenthood, abortion is the contraception of choice.
1 Agrees | 3 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Planned Parenthood is the lifeline to many poor women for basic women's healthcare. If you do not want an abortion; don't have one. To try and put abortion back into the shadows of dark alleys and wire hangers IS a war on women. Abortion should be safe, legal and rare. Planned parenthood actually prevents more abortions than it provides, by providing women with the education and access to contraception and how to use it properly. Again; if you don't want an abortion - don't have one. But your views are yours. Get your mind and morals out of others vaginas.

It always astounds me how freely self-proclaimed Christians violate the commandment, "Thou shalt not bear false witness..."
But lying is, after all, essential to convincing people to follow religious dogma and take orders from religious leaders.

Lie: Breast cancer risk is increased by abortion.
Fact: See the American Cancer Society's web site concerning the flaws in studies done which make this claim, and the Danish study which is considered much more reliable. There is actually an increased risk of breast cancer for a short time after live birth, so the breast cancer argument won't help the anti-birth control position.
3 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Lie: "Democratic party convention speakers 'shouted from the hilltops' that not providing free abortions to women was comparable to a 'War on Women!"
Fact: No Democratic speaker said any such thing. The government does not fund or provide free abortions. It is prohibited by law. Anti-abortion extremists want to defund PPFA completely and transfer the money elsewhere (to right-wing and papist Christian groups?) under the false pretext that government funds pay for abortions. It's all about the right-wingers aspiring to feed more at the government trough than they are already.
3 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Lie: "Abortions were the top money maker... 48.2 percent of its total income."
Fact: Someone didn't bother doing the math. Using the figures provided in the letter showing total income at something over $1 billion plus 18.5 million, the percentage of income from abortions ($148.5 million) is less than 15% of total income. This is also consistent with PPFA's chart of income sources for 2011 which requires you find abortion services income somewhere in the 29% left over after removing the 71% of income which is clearly not from abortion.
3 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Lie: "Planned Parenthood is primarily an abortion business."
Fact: Three percent of planned parenthood services are abortion services. Contraception is 32%. STD/HIV testing and treatment is 41%. Cancer screening and prevention is 12% (Planned Parenthood 2011 annual report). About 10% of women receiving services from PPFA receive abortion services, after considering that many customers receive several different types of services.

Cache County ranked second most healthy in Utah
The Herald Journal
By Charles Geraci
Cache County is the second healthiest in the state, according to a new report released Wednesday.
The County Health Rankings — a collaboration between the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute — allows Americans around the country to see how healthy their respective counties are and what factors affect their health.
"We know that Utah is always near the top when it comes to quality of life and longevity of life," said Lloyd Berentzen, health officer for the Bear River Health Department. "Now we know that Cache County ranks No. 2 in mortality data for longevity of life or life expectancy when compared to all other counties in the state of Utah. Cache Valley also ranks third highest for morbidity or quality of life."
He added, "This is only the fourth year this report has been issued, and our ranking by individual category either remained the same as last year or improved. This is good news for Cache County residents."

WELLSVILLE - Parishioners of Immaculate Conception celebrated the annual feast of their patron saint Saturday, even as they continued their plea to the Vatican to grant them full use of their still-closed church.
Prior to the Feast of Immaculate Conception prayer service, spokeswoman Beverly Hentzell held a brief press conference on the steps of the United Methodist Church at Fifth and Main streets, which has been serving as the ICC worship site in recent months.
Hentzell said parishioners are "deeply disappointed" in the recent directive by Bishop George Murry regarding the re-opening of ICC, which is supposed to take place next year on the date of the Feast of Immaculate Conception.
"This is mean-spirited. Other bishops, faced with a reversal of their church closing decrees, have been much more pastoral. Cleveland, Ohio, and Springfield, Mass., for example," Hentzell said.
While the Vatican has ordered ICC re-opened, Murry chose to comply by allowing it to be open for one mass per year, for the Feast of Immaculate Conception, and once a week for other purposes, but not mass.
The church held its last mass July 23, 2011 after a reconfiguration set down by the Catholic Diocese of Youngstown, merging it with St. Aloysius Catholic Parish in East Liverpool. Under the same plan, the parishioners of St. Ann Catholic Church in East Liverpool decided to suppress, or close.
In her remarks Saturday, Hentzell said a "broad-based petition," signed by about 300 Catholics, will be delivered to the Vatican next week, saying, "It is incomprehensible to us that the bishop plans to lock well over 200 Catholics out of their church for another full year, while mass attendance at the surviving church in our area St. Aloysius (has) less than 250 families."
Hentzell said the Committee to Save Immaculate Conception Church is reviewing its canonical options for bringing "this grave failure of pastoral due care" to the Vatican's attention.
"The issue is much larger than the personal irritation of the bishop. It involves the salvation of souls, in regard to the loss of our worship site. Pursuing this for one and one-half years now, wouldn't it be better in the spirit of the season to celebrate mass now, rather than wait one year?" Hentzell questioned.
The prayer service Saturday was officiated by ICC parishioner Tom Brophey, who has stood in for 74 such services since the church was closed, in the absence of a priest.
About 30 people attended the service, among them long-time ICC member and ardent supporter Dolly Brophey, Tom Brophey's mother.
"It's very sad. This is the feast day of our blessed Mother and, although I'm grateful to be able to have it here, I'm very sad we can't have it our own church," Mrs. Brophey said.

NEWTOWN, Conn. - A man opened fire Friday inside two classrooms at the Connecticut elementary school where his mother was a teacher, killing 26 people, including 20 children, as youngsters cowered in corners and closets and trembled helplessly to gunshots reverberating through the building.
The killer, carrying two handguns, committed suicide at the school, and another person was found dead at a second scene, bringing the toll to 28, authorities said.
Police shed no light on the motive for the attack. The gunman was believed to suffer from a personality disorder and lived with his mother in Connecticut, said a law enforcement official who was briefed on the investigation but was not authorized to publicly discuss it.

The rampage, coming less than two weeks before Christmas, was the nations second-deadliest school shooting, exceeded only by the Virginia Tech massacre that left 33 people dead in 2007.
Panicked parents looking for their children raced to Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, a community of about 27,000 residents 60 miles northeast of New York City. Youngsters at the kindergarten-through-fourth-grade school were told to close their eyes by police as they were led from the building.
Schoolchildren - some crying, others looking frightened - were escorted through a parking lot in a line, hands on each others shoulders.

Our hearts are broken today, a tearful President Barack Obama, struggling to maintain composure, said at the White House. He called for meaningful action to prevent such shootings.
Youngsters and their parents described teachers locking doors and ordering the children to huddle in the corner or hide in closets when shots echoed through the building. Authorities didnt say exactly how the shootings unfolded.
They also gave no details on the victim discovered at another scene, except to say that the person was an adult found dead by police while they were investigating the gunman.
Article PDFs
A law enforcement official identified the gunman as 20-year-old Adam Lanza, the son of a teacher. A second law enforcement official said his mother, Nancy Lanza, was presumed dead.
Adam Lanzas older brother, 24-year-old Ryan, of Hoboken, N.J., was being questioned.
The law enforcement official who said Adam Lanza had a possible personality disorder said Ryan Lanza had been extremely cooperative, was not believed to have any involvement in the rampage and was not under arrest or in custody, but investigators were still searching his computers and phone records. Ryan Lanza told law enforcement he had not been in touch with his brother since about 2010.
All three law enforcement officials spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak on the record about the unfolding investigation.
The gunman drove to the school in his mothers car, the second official said. Three guns were found - a Glock and a Sig Sauer, both pistols, inside the school, and a .223-caliber rifle in the back of a car.
Lanzas girlfriend and another friend were missing in New Jersey, the official also said.
State police Lt. Paul Vance said 28 people in all were killed, including the gunman, and one person was injured.
Robert Licata said his 6-year-old son was in class when the gunman burst in and shot the teacher.
Thats when my son grabbed a bunch of his friends and ran out the door, he said. He was very brave. He waited for his friends.
He said the shooter didnt utter a word.
Stephen Delgiadice said his 8-year-old daughter was in the school and heard two big bangs. Teachers told her to get in a corner, he said.
Its alarming, especially in Newtown, Connecticut, which we always thought was the safest place in America, he said. His daughter was fine.
Mergim Bajraliu, 17, heard the gunshots echo from his home and ran to check on his 9-year-old sister at the school. He said his sister, who was fine, heard a scream come over the intercom at one point. He said teachers were shaking and crying as they came out of the building.
Everyone was just traumatized, he said.
Mary Pendergast, who lives close to the school, said her 9-year-old nephew was in the school at the time of the shooting, but wasnt hurt after his music teacher helped him take cover in a closet.
Richard Wilfords 7-year-old son, Richie, is in the second grade at the school. His son told him that he heard a noise that sounded like what he described as cans falling.
The boy told him a teacher went out to check on the noise, came back in, locked the door and had the kids huddle up in the corner until police arrived.
Theres no words, Wilford said. Its sheer terror, a sense of imminent danger, to get to your child and be there to protect him.
On Friday afternoon, family members were led away from a firehouse that was being used as a staging area, some of them weeping. One man, wearing only a T-shirt without a jacket, put his arms around a woman as they walked down the middle of the street, oblivious to everything around them.
Another woman with tears rolling down her face walked by carrying a car seat with a young infant inside and a bag that appeared to have toys and stuffed animals.
The shootings instantly brought to mind episodes such as the Columbine High School massacre that killed 15 in 1999 and the July shootings at a movie theater in Aurora, Colo., that left 12 dead.
You go to a movie theater in Aurora and all of a sudden your life is taken, Columbine principal Frank DeAngelis said. Youre at a shopping mall in Portland, Ore., and your life is taken. This morning, when parents kissed their kids goodbye knowing that they are going to be home to celebrate the holiday season coming up, you dont expect this to happen. I think as a society, we need to come together. It has to stop, these senseless deaths.
Obamas comments on the tragedy amounted to one of the most outwardly emotional moments of his presidency.
The majority of those who died were children - beautiful, little kids between the ages of 5 and 10 years old, Obama said.
He paused for several seconds to keep his composure as he teared up and wiped an eye. Nearby, two aides cried and held hands as they listened to Obama.
They had their entire lives ahead of them - birthdays, graduations, wedding, kids of their own, Obama continued about the victims. Among the fallen were also teachers, men and women who devoted their lives to helping our children.

Train hard, win races.
Changing tires due to varying conditions can be a pain, and quite frankly, a waste of time. Vittoria constructed its Zaffiro Pro II Clincher in such a manner that it takes on anything from rough roads to wet slick corners with zest and control.
Constructed with Vittoria's durable Aramid Endura compound, the Zaffiro Pro II is built to roll fast, far, and without incident. The nylon Puncture Resistant Belt (PRB) found in Vittoria's higher-tier rubber, like the Open Corsa and the Rubino, is also used here. The Zaffiro Pro II accomplishes all this without adding a large amount of rotating weight. Its newly developed tread, with deeper grooves in the middle and shallower shoulders, means you'll get excellent cornering in both wet and dry conditions. Since it's a 60 TPI tire, the overall cost is reasonably low for the high-quality performance.
The Vittoria Zaffiro Pro II Tire - Clincher is available in 700c x 23mm and in the color Yellow/black.

The description says they are 23c, but the drop down says 32c. Just looking for some clarification.
solid training tires for cheap
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
These are good tires for training. Still very raceable but more for durability. Their greatest attribute is their price. Solid all around though.
Love these tires!!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
For every day use, I can't complain. Not 1 flat! They're on my Dura Ace C24's, & its been about 1000miles & STILL GOING!!
Lasting trainer tires
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I'd give these tires a 3 star but because they actually grip well in wet conditions, I gave them a 4. The Vittoria Zaffiro Pro III make great training tires. The treads are a couple millimeters thicker down the center and the texture on the rounded areas make for good grip cornering even in wet conditions. I slipped out the front wheel once in really dusty conditions but I was going pretty fast into the turn.
I've only had one puncture in the front due to a long wire from car tire tread poking through but other than that they have been puncture resistant for what's been about 1000 miles on the tires. The rear is starting to wear down since I've been mashing it up climbs lately and the front tire is rounding but otherwise lasting longer than softer, higher TPI, and more costly tires.
Overall they are good trainers for a fair price. The different colors is great. They ride a little stiffer than the supple, racing tires with high TPI count but perfect for commuting, everyday riding, and training.
Cheap and simple
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I needed a cheap tire after one of mine blew out. I got two of these since the price was good. It does exactly what it claims to do. Can't beat that for the price.
The tire does need a bit of finesse and finger strength to put on the wheel. Practice a few times at home before you head out.
No punctures yet- rolling well. I don't mind the weight since I'm using this as a training wheel now.

Tuesday, July 1, 2014
Ive got something of a problem.
I know this comes as no surprise to many of you who think I could fill a Christmas list with some of my problems, but I do. I have a problem.
I dont like to throw stuff away.
I clean my desk off about once every six months and the only surprise is that Jimmy Hoffa hasnt turned up there yet. I keep every Walmart and Piggly Wiggly receipt, Sweet and Lo packages, medicine bottles, work papers, non-work papers, just about everything.
I hate throwing things away as much as I hate putting things away. I put something away and its never seen or heard from again.
They will find Jimmy Hoffa before I find whatever it was I tried to put away.
I have to have everything within arms reach, like Im in a big nest.
Im a nester. I like all my books and writing stuff arranged just so in front of the couch so I can reach it with minimal movement on my part.
I dont like to get up and look for things. I like to swivel around in my chair and find it on the floor at my feet.
My problem is, six years of arranging things at my feet has turned the area around my desk chair into something resembling an army fort.
I dont have piles of stuff anymore. I have walls of stuff.
I decided this past weekend that enough was enough.
As my best friend said, You clean.
She thinks cleaning is good for the soul. It does a mind and body good.
You clean, she tells me, So you dont get fat.
Good advice, I thought.
So, Im cleaning.
My problem is, there is a word for me and its not nester.
While Im not quite a hoarder I am what you call a clutterer.
Thats what I am surrounded by, clutter. Years of it.
I have two vices. I love to read and I love to watch movies.
And I have a house full of both books and DVDs.
Last summer I parted company with about a thousand DVDs. These were movies I wanted to watch one time and that was it. So I sold them.
I made close to $900 on these DVDs, which, if you do the math, is less than a dollar a DVD.
The books are another story. I cant do anything with the books.
I love to buy books. I buy books I have no intention of reading because its a Tom Clancy book and I have about 40 pounds worth of Tom Clancy books on my bookshelf and I need to buy the latest book to keep my collection current.
I found something out about my books, specifically my Tom Clancy books, the last time I moved.
The sentimentality of a particular item is inversely related to how many times you are willing to pack it and move it.
I had moved my Tom Clancy books four times in six years.
When I packed up the books the last time I moved and realized I had two boxes of books I would never read, I thought, enough is enough.
Im not moving these books anymore.
So I gave them to my son.
He liked the Tom Clancy Rainbow Six video game, but has yet to read the first Tom Clancy book.
He has every book Clancy ever wrote but hasnt read the first page.
I guess in this case, the fact that Tom Clancy died, is a good thing.
So Im cleaning my apartment of clutter.
This is hard too. I dont want to give up my things.
I dont care if they ever find Jimmy Hoffa or not.

YMCA officials unveil design, layout for new city facility

TheMoe, you DO realize that there is a second floor, right? Also, the area that someone called a food court is a playground. PEOPLE -- the plans are in the lobby of the downtown Y. Go look at them if you are interested.
1 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
People need to visit and tour the Y to see the programs they implement. It's not just "babysitting". They work at preparing children for entrance into kindergarten, high school & college. They have proven records of increasing graduation rates and decreasing high-school drop outs. They design programs to decrease health problems caused by being overweight for young and old alike. They have many programs to help decrease crime & drug/alcohol abuse and increase service to the community through collaborations with other organizations. I too used to think they were just a gym or babysitting function. I had my eyes opened when I started doing some research and saw all the good they do.

Washington sequestration cuts are now expected to take away an estimated $1.5 million from senior programs in South Carolina.
This is the type of situation that occurs as across-the-board cuts combine the good with the bad. Hurt the most in this state will be the funding that provides services for sick and homebound senior citizens. Such home and community-based services commonly include a meal a day delivered to senior citizens and vulnerable adults who are unable to care for themselves.
Oftentimes, volunteers who deliver these meals may be the only contact that some of the recipients have with the outside world. These are people who have worked all of their life and simply need a helping hand in their golden years. They never busted the budget, yet they're the ones getting busted by the lack of leadership in Washington.
Yes, we need to stop the deficit spending. Washington needs to balance its budget like we do in South Carolina. However, to balance it on the backs of people who have paid their dues and helped this country move forward over the decades is unacceptable.
Let me paint a picture of reality. South Carolina has one of the fastest growing senior populations in the nation.
Currently, our senior population is over 900,000 and is projected to nearly double by the year 2030. Even without factoring in the discussion over recent sequestration cuts in Washington, our state doesn't have enough money to cover the people who currently need services. Over 8,000 are on a waiting list.
As my office continues to ask the South Carolina General Assembly to do more with state resources in order to close this gap, blows by the federal government are preventing us from reaching our goal of helping more seniors and vulnerable adults. These are people who need a meal a day or a trip to a doctor's office so that they can avoid the transition to a more expensive Medicaid nursing bed.
They are not looking for handouts - just a helping hand - so that they can remain independent and on their own. The evidence is overwhelming that home and community-based services are both cost-efficient and the most productive way for us to meet the challenge at hand.
To see Washington going in the opposite direction because of their failure to control their spending is just flat wrong. It shortchanges these folks who cannot help themselves.
Washington should help itself and this country by steering our nation forward, targeting the cuts based on merit rather than jeopardizing the future of our hard-working citizens.
Runaway spending has to stop. Our leaders in Washington must learn to prioritize, which means making difficult choices in order to save taxpayer dollars while keeping beneficial programs afloat.
These cuts on senior services will slash straight through a program that will help our state and nation save money and avoid a future human calamity. Our home and community-based programs have been proven effective, and they cost our state 40 times less money than a Medicaid nursing home bed.
Yet, our leaders in Washington continue to dump millions more of our tax dollars into the Medicaid program without reform while a program that delays people from Medicaid gets hacked. Whether or not our state accepts the federal funding, the massive Medicaid program as currently structured is not sustainable over the long term.
Regardless of which side of the issue you find yourself, across-the-board cuts equate to poor politics - not good policy. Congress cannot remain on the same path year after year while expecting different results.
Until leaders in Washington begin to focus on solving our nation's lingering problems instead of worrying about the next election, the process will continue to have damaging and lasting effects.
Threatening essential services for seniors and vulnerable adults in our state is not only dangerous, but it is also irresponsible.

Maryland outpaces national private sector growth by five times
5,900 additional Marylanders working in September than in August
Third straight month of over-the-year job growth
Labor force grows by 8,300; Unemployment rate increases modestly to 7.4 percent
BALTIMORE, MD (October 21, 2011) - The U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor
Statistics released preliminary data today showing Maryland added 10,000 private sector
jobs in September 2011. Maryland's 0.5 percent private sector rate of growth is five
times the national 0.1 percent rate. The federal government added 2,100 jobs in Maryland
during September and state government added 100. Local government shed 5,400. In all,
Maryland added 6,800 non-farm jobs in September - a 0.3 percent rate of growth.
"Maryland's private sector grew five times faster than the rest of the nation's in
September, and nearly 5,900 Marylanders who weren't working in August have found jobs.
Still, there are signals that Maryland - like all other states - is still in recovery,"
said Maryland Labor Secretary Alexander M. Sanchez. "We need to continue to invest in
our human capital and strengthen our New Economy industries. And we need to support a
national effort to create jobs that complements the work we've done inside our borders.
We've said throughout our recovery that there will be strong months and soft months.
September proved to be one of the stronger months. To recover and prosper in the New
Economy, we need to build on that strength."
The largest growth industries during September include Educational, Health Care,
Social Assistance (+8,000 jobs, including 5,200 in Health Care); Information (+4,000
jobs); Professional and Business Services (+3,900 jobs); and Natural Resources, Mining,
Construction (+1,400 jobs). Growth in the technology industries is partly attributable
to Verizon employees returning to work following an August labor dispute. Trade,
Transportation, Warehousing, Utilities (-3,000 jobs), Leisure and Hospitality (-1,700 jobs)
and Manufacturing (-1,500 jobs) recorded the largest private sector declines.
Since September 2010, Maryland has added 12,300 jobs. Of the 20,000 jobs created in
Maryland since January 2011, nearly 95 percent were created by private sector employers.
Compared to August, nearly 5,900 additional Marylanders were employed in September.
Growth in Maryland's labor force outpaced employment, causing the state's unemployment
rate to inch up modestly 0.1 percentage points to 7.4 percent. Maryland's unemployment
rate is still 1.7 percentage points better than the national average.

workers, protecting consumers, providing a safety net

demands of Marylands dynamic economy. Follow DLLR on Twitter

Poppy 'Checkers'
Papaver orientale, Oriental PoppyMore info
Poppy 'Coral Reef'
Papaver orientale, Oriental Poppy
A chance discovery on T&M research grounds has led to the introduction of this spectacular NEW true orientale poppy. Large vibrant flowers, often 5in. across of an intense and vivid coral pink never seen before in true orientale poppies from seed and rarely matched in the entire flower kingdom. Unlike many orientale poppies available, because it has been bred from seed it has consistent vigour, with many flowers over a long flowering period. Also it is not prone to 'flopping over' a fault with many varieties of this type of poppy. It is a long lived perennial making large plants within 3 years. From a late Autumn sowing it will flower in its first summer, coming true from seed. In a mixed orientale poppy trial the bees had apparently been very active as a red flowered hybrid produced several plants of this vivid pink. T&M's breeders got busy and... Coral Reef was born!More info
