As construction on the future Williamsport Area Middle School continues, the high school got one step closer to beginning its renovations on Tuesday.
The school board voted 8-0 to award eight contracts on the high school project. Thirty-one companies submitted bids on the project.
Renovations will be done in two phases, said Vern McKissick, of McKissick Associates. The first will begin this year and the second in about 2020.

Structural improvements to Williamsport Area High School will include repair of a bridge to the fine and performing arts department. The bridge has been closed and roped off for several years due to wear and tear.
The first phase will renovate about 60,000 square feet of educational space, look at energy efficiency, upgrade HVAC systems and bring the school to compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act.
The project will renovate the gymnasium and locker rooms, create a space for the school's orchestra and downsize from three cafeterias to two.
A "food court" style kitchen will be constructed between the two remaining cafeterias. While one cafeteria will be a quiet area for students to study during their lunch period, McKissick said the other will have the feel of a "sports restaurant" where students can socialize.
The district already has spent about $1.8 million on the project to replace a chiller system and make other upgrades.
Although McKissick said the bids mostly were "in line with what was expected," the project did come in over the district's budget.
In order to bring the cost of the project down, McKissick suggested modifications to the scope of the renovations.
A canopy over a new entrance to the school will be downsized, renovations to Pod E - which will be used for alternative education - will be removed, along with plans for a new Millionaire Cafe renovation. McKissick also removed a waste pulping system and window repairs from the project to save money.
McKissick suspects funds will be left over from the middle school project, which could allow the cafe and other omitted aspects to be placed back into the project.
Jeff Angstadt, project manager, said work on the now $21.3 million project should start by the end of the month. It is slated to be completed in 18 months.
About 50 percent of the cost will be eligible for reimbursement by the state Department of Education.
While work is nearly ready to start at the high school, Angstadt reported that the middle school still is on schedule to be completed by the summer.
"Overall, things have been progressing greatly this past month," Angstadt said.
The school now is enclosed and, he said, it's "taking shape" inside.

Wednesday, June 4, 2014
The Summerville Fire Department is investigating a fire on Cavalier Drive that left two people dead early Wednesday.
Fifty-one-year-old Sharon Hodge and 9-year-old Christian Zey died about 12:30 a.m. Wednesday, according to Dorchester County Coroner Chris Nisbet.
Christian was a student at Summerville Elementary who celebrated his birthday June 1 with a party. His chihuahua escaped unharmed. Dustin Zey, 19, also escaped the fire.
Zey said he was in his room, an addition on the back of the mobile home, when he heard screams of fire!
He was able to run next door and scream for help, but no one could re-enter the house as the fire turned into an inferno.
A neighbor across the street said the fire quickly engulfed the home.
It was just a ball of fire, the neighbor said.
Battalian Chief Jake Evans said four engines, one ladder truck, the fire chief, one on-duty battalion chief and three off-duty battalion chiefs responded to the blaze.
Investigators were at the home, which is in a mobile home park off Bacons Bridge Road, Wednesday morning.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation.

When Your Child Is in the Intensive Care Unit
When Your Child Is in the Intensive Care Unit
The intensive care unit (ICU) is an area in the hospital where your child can receive close monitoring, assistance with breathing, or specialized medical procedures. It's often referred to as the critical care unit. Hospitals may also have specialized intensive care units for specific age groups. If your child is in the ICU, it means that he or she needs special care and attention that can be given only by a team of specially trained health care providers. This sheet tells you more about what to expect when your child is in the ICU.
The ICU Staff
Each of the health care providers caring for your child has special knowledge and skills. You may see the following staff in the ICU:
Doctors oversee your child's care.
Nurses do much of the hands-on care and monitoring.
Physician assistants (PAs) and nurse practitioners (NPs) are trained to do many of the same tasks as doctors under a doctor's supervision.
Therapists help assess and improve your child's breathing, speech, strength, and movement.
Dietitians give advice about special eating concerns and nutrition.
Pharmacists make sure your child receives the right medication in the correct amount and on schedule.
Child life specialists help your child learn what to expect in the hospital and cope with their experience.
Social workers and case managers help you deal with financial concerns, resources, and insurance.
Other support staff help with tasks such as drawing blood or serving meals.
Inside the ICU
The ICU is a busy place. It can be set up as an open bay or consist of individual rooms. Your child may stay in the ICU for a day, a week, or longer. Be prepared to see lots of wires, tubes, and equipment, such as the following:
Monitors: These may be in place to check your child's heart rate, respiratory rate, and blood pressure. They may have alarms that beep and signal staff when something needs to be checked. Alarms aren't always a cause for concern. Sometimes even a slight movement from your child sounds an alarm.
Oxygen: Most children in the ICU need extra oxygen. It's given through a nasal cannula (thin plastic tube that sends oxygen through the nose), a facemask, or a ventilator (machine that helps with breathing).
Intravenous (IV) lines and tubes: Your child will have one or more IV lines and tubes in place. All lines and tubes are closely monitored. IV lines usually provide medication or give nutrition. Tubes help drain or suction unneeded fluids or air from your child's body. They can also be used to give nutrition.
Pulse oximeter: This device measures the level of oxygen in your child's blood. It has a red light and is connected to a long cable. It's clipped to a finger or toe.
Restraints: Your child's hands or legs may need to be restrained. This prevents him or her from pulling out tubes or wires. Restraints may be removed during your visits if you watch carefully that your child doesn't pull on any tubes.
Important Things to Know
Many hospitals allow you to stay with your child in the ICU. The exact rules vary with each hospital. Your child's condition is also a factor.
Wash your hands with soap and water before entering the ICU and after helping care for your child.
Turn off all cell phones and beepers. Ask an ICU staff member before bringing any other electronic equipment into the ICU.
Items such as plants, flowers, food, balloons, or toys may not be allowed in the ICU depending on the hospital rules.
You may be asked to leave the ICU during rounds. These are the times when your child's health care team checks and examines your child. They need to do so with no distractions.
Your child may have a condition that requires isolation. In this case, you'll be asked to wear protective clothing, gloves, or a facemask.
In most cases, you can spend the night in the hospital if you want to. This will likely be in a waiting room or a hospital room outside the ICU.
Discharge from the ICU
Most children are discharged from the ICU when they:
Have stable vital signs.
Can breathe without assistance from a machine or tube.
No longer need specific medications or treatments that can only be given in the ICU.
Your child will then be moved to a regular hospital room. In rare cases, your child is discharged from the ICU to go home.
Helping Your Child
Following are ways to help your child in the ICU:
Stay with your child as much as you can. Ask your child's health care providers if you can be present during treatments and procedures.
Learn all you can about your child's health problem. Your child can pick up on your fears and worries. By staying positive and upbeat, you can help relieve some of your child's anxieties and discomfort.
Comfort your child by touching and holding him or her often. Stroke your child's hair or hold his or her hand.
Ask a member of your child's health care team whether it's okay to bring in items from home, such as your child's favorite blanket, stuffed animal, or book.

Quadruple Helices Appear To Have Role...
Adapting to Evolving Business Environments Is...
As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
Process Development Jobs Still the Most...
During President Obama's State of the Union speech last month, he called for revitalizing the U.S. manufacturing industry:
"We have a huge opportunity, at this moment, to bring manufacturing back," he said. "But we have to seize it. Tonight, my message to business leaders is simple: Ask yourselves what you can do to bring jobs back to your country, and your country will do everything we can to help you succeed."
After interviews with several biotech instrument manufacturers, it seems that at least for the bioindustry the President was posing the wrong question (i.e., "Ask yourselves what you can do to bring jobs back to your country…"). In fact, a range of biotech equipment is already being made in the U.S.
Regarding the possibility of more manufacturing jobs actually coming back to the U.S., talks with biotech officials might lead one to conclude that the President just might be whistling in the dark and either does not understand or is ignoring the main reasons behind the establishment of regional manufacturing operations.
The key drivers to setting up a manufacturing facility are manufacturing costs and proximity to important and growing markets, according to the biotech specialists.
"Companies once felt an obligation to support American workers, even when it wasn't the best financial choice," said Betsey Stevenson, formerly chief economist at the Labor Department, in a recent interview with The New York Times. "That's disappeared. Profits and efficiency have trumped generosity."
Calls for patriotism or nationalistic pride don't enter into the manufacturing equation and, from the business point of view, they shouldn't, as discussions with biotech manufacturers revealed.
Terry Jones, a reporter for Investors Business Daily, during an appearance on the "Front Page" program on PJTV.com, succinctly summed up the cost issue. "You go where you can make your product at the cheapest rate," he said.
This was the rationale also echoed to a degree by Jerold Martin, senior vp, global scientific affairs at Pall Life Sciences, and chairman of the BioProcess Systems Alliance.
"Biotechnology is a global business, and it's very competitive," he told GEN. "If manufacturing costs are too high, neither drug manufacturers nor equipment suppliers will be able to compete. Since manufacturing costs tend to be higher in the U.S., both drugs and equipment are also manufactured in other countries which, in turn, allows them to compete globally."
He added that while many Americans say they would prefer to buy items made in the U.S., most, in reality, are not willing to pay the premium prices that many U.S.-made products command due to higher labor costs. Hence, there is a plethora of lower cost goods made elsewhere that Americans buy.
Martin also cited the need for biotech equipment manufacturers to ultimately establish manufacturing operations in rapidly expanding markets, such as Asia and Latin America, to be closer to those customers and better serve local and global markets. Pall Life Sciences has manufacturing facilities in the U.S. and Puerto Rico, England and France, and India and China for redundancy, regional supply, and cost efficiencies.
Martin also wonders how President Obama's message is being taken by the U.S. drug manufacturers who have closed down a significant number of domestic research and manufacturing facilities and are moving those jobs to Asia where they can research, develop, and produce new drugs for the U.S. market at lower cost. That's what already happened in the computer, cell phone, and tablet industries.
"In our case, it's in response to the U.S. Government's initiative to lower the cost of drugs to the U.S. consumer by encouraging both generics and, in the future, biosimilars."
U.S. and foreign drug manufacturers are setting up facilities in Asia not just for the expanding Asian market, but also to export back into the U.S. with lower cost drugs. Correspondingly, U.S.-based equipment manufacturers ultimately will be pulled there to be close to their customers, said Martin.
"The key to creating new jobs in the U.S. is to encourage investment in education and in the development of novel products and technologies that create new manufacturing jobs here," he explained.
"It will not be possible to bring back existing manufacturing jobs once they have moved to lower cost regions without a shift in foreign exchange rates or the government imposing high import tariffs or offering large tax-cut incentives that ultimately make domestic manufacturing more profitable. Businesses are not going to do that on their own otherwise."

It has been over three weeks since Sandy hit the east coast and ravaged Tucker County, producing snowfall measured in feet and power outages for thousands of residents.
Greg Hefner, manager of external affairs for MonPower, provided some good news about the number of people who are still experiencing power outages in Tucker.
"We had everyone back in service last Wednesday night," he said.

Road cleanup crews from the WVDOH and several state subcontractors remove debris from U.S. 219 on Tuesday afternoon. Logging and trucking crews were focusing on U.S. 219 and state Route 72 and will start on state Route 38 on Friday.
Hefner said there have been minor power outages since last Wednesday, due often to tree branches falling on power lines.
He said snowfall in the county caused many tree branches to be weakened and that some are just now breaking, landing on lines.
Jason Myers, Parsons city administrator, said things are getting back to normal in Parsons.
"We are doing fine here," said Myers.
He said city officials are working to gather time sheets, lists of used equipment and supplies used by cleanup crews since the storm blanketed the county.
Myers said the information contained in those records will need to be shown to FEMA, if public assistance is to be gained from them.
Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin submitted requests to FEMA, asking for public assistance early in the storm, Myers said. If the request is granted, counties in the state can receive reimbursement for their expenses.
Expenses are still being realized by the WVDOH, which continues to clean up roads in the surrounding area.
For over a week, workers from the WVDOH in Tucker and Randolph counties, alongside several state subcontractors, have been clearing debris from roadways.
State subcontractors include logging and trucking crews from Bill Robinson, Danny Arnett, J&W, Potomac, J&L, Thomas Brothers Logging and Ogden Escavation.
Robert Cooper, highway administrator for the WVDOH, said there is still a lot of work to complete.
"We're probably at 45 to 50 percent," he said. "That's a whole lot to go."
Cooper said the main focus, at this point, is on main roads and the clearing of downed trees. Trees on power lines have been removed for the most part, he said. Only recently fallen trees are a concern for power companies.
Following the main roads, crews will focus on secondary roads and stream cleanup.
U.S. 219 and state Route 72 are a current point of focus. Cooper said state Route 38 will be dealt with soon.
Myers said the city of Parsons is allowing a portion of the Corricks Ford Battle Site to be used as a temporary dumping space for trees and brush being cleaned up by WVDOH crews.

Merkel Tabbed MAC Scholar Athlete of the Week
MUNCIE, Ind. -- Ball State men's golfer Tyler Merkel has been named the Mid-American Conference Male Scholar Athlete of the Week.
The senior from Evansville, Ind., owns a 3.872 GPA as a business administration major. He posted a perfect 3-0 individual record to help Ball State to the team title at last week's Mid-American Match Play in Dade City, Fla.
Merkel was also named the MAC Golfer of the Week for his performance at the match play event. He played bogey free in two of his three rounds on the South Course at Lake Jovita Golf and Country Club, and none of his matches reached the final hole.
A two-time Academic All-MAC selection, Merkel earned Cleveland Golf/Srixon All-America Scholar recognition last season. He is now a three-time MAC Scholar Athlete of the Week award winner.
Merkel and the Cardinals won the Mid-American Match Play for the second time in the three years of the event. They will return to action March 16-17 when they head back to the Sunshine State to host The Talis Park Challenge in Naples, Fla.
Ball State has now had a MAC Scholar Athlete of the Week recipient seven times in 2013-14. Keith Wenning (football) and Drew Tharp (swimming) each won the award twice on the men's side, while Jenna Hague (women's golf) won it twice on the women's side.

I underestimated my husband (how can he take such a risk!) and our children (how could they possibly survive moving schools again?) and our circumstances — we still had a house for sale in Indiana and we had just signed a rental lease while we were house hunting in Ohio. I was scared.
I cried my heart out. I cried my face puffy.
It was a Saturday when I finally agreed to book a flight with Jeff to see what this was all about. Apparently he wasn't going to quit bringing it up. That night we got the winning offer on our house in Indiana. Suddenly life started to look a whole lot different. We were really going to do this. I literally went from searching homes for sale online in "Ohio" to "Oregon" in the matter of hours.
I found our house on Craigslist, a quarter mile from the Pacific Ocean. It's the only thing I've ever bought on Craigslist. I've loved every home I've ever lived in, but this one is a dream. I can hear the ocean from my couch as I type and as I lay my head down at night. We can see the bluest of blue waters from our windows.
This is our first Thanksgiving apart from our family, but we aren't sad and we aren't lonely. It's actually a really special time for us.
We are good here. We are really really good.
I am so thankful. I am on my knees heart on the floor thankful.
I can make my home anywhere. I fall in love with a place easy and become a big fan hard and fast. But this place has fallen in love with us. I can feel it in the people, in the friends, in our successes, in the spectacular sunrise over the mountains and the magnificent sunset into the sea.
I joke that I was practically brought here against my will and now I never want to leave. But if this whole thing has taught me anything, it's that who knows where you'll be in a year — or in our case a matter of months.
Live what is in front of you right now, give thanks, and enjoy the view.

on March 13, 2013 - 9:45 PM
, updated March 14, 2013 at 10:01 AM
Argentine Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio was the only candidate for the papacy that Deacon Alejandro D. Manunta knew anything about.
Manunta, also a native of Argentina, remembered Bergoglio emerging as a strong contender in the 2005 conclave, where he finished second in the vote that elected Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger as Pope Benedict XVI.
Bergoglio apparently remained a favorite among his fellow cardinals, who chose him Wednesday after just five ballots to succeed Benedict.
And Manunta, who now lives in Amherst, couldn't have been happier about the selection.
"We have been wanting this for a long time, to be able to see a pope coming from a place other than Europe," Manunta said. "This is sending a beautiful message to the church and to the world. The message is, we need to start seeing more universality. That is what 'catholic' means."
Bergoglio, 76, is now Pope Francis, the first Latin American and first Jesuit priest to lead the worldwide church and its 1.2 billion members.
His election resonated with Hispanics well beyond his home country.
"Oh, my goodness. It's a big blessing – not only for Argentina, but for the whole world and for all Hispanic people," said Irma Muniz, of Buffalo, who was shocked when she saw a Latin American man walk onto the external loggia of St. Peter's Basilica in papal vestments.
Muniz, a native of Puerto Rico, was among dozens of Hispanic members of Holy Cross Church who were in a celebratory mood Wednesday inside the church hall, where more than 100 parishioners from three West Side parishes gathered for a Lenten supper and service.
Milagros Ramos, who also hails from Puerto Rico, said she nearly jumped out of her shoes upon hearing that an Argentine cardinal had been elected pope.
"It's history-making. It's huge," said Ramos, director of the office of cultural diversity for the Catholic Diocese of Buffalo. "I knew that he had gotten a lot of votes the last time, but I didn't think this time [he was in the running] because of his age."
Ramos predicted that Hispanics – the fastest-growing segment of American Catholics – will be very excited about having a pope who shares their language and cultural roots. "It's a feeling that we're finally – I don't want to say welcomed, but, I feel, more a part of it," she said. "I can't explain it. It's new. It's fresh."
Local Jesuits also were basking in the papal glow.
"I would say there haven't been many bigger surprises for me," said the Rev. Ronald W. Sams, pastor of St. Michael Church and superior of a group of eight Jesuit priests who live together near the downtown church. "He sounds like a very pastoral, good man. He's one of our family. We're very happy with the choice."
The Jesuits also operate two venerable local institutions, Canisius High School and Canisius College. "The fact he is a Jesuit makes it a little more exciting," said Kenmore resident and Canisius College alumna Meghan Burke, who is currently doing graduate studies at Catholic University.
Burke has long appreciated the Jesuit order's intense focus on education and service. "It emphasizes an aspect of Catholicism that I think is quite admirable," she said.
More than 76 percent of Argentina's population is Catholic – about 31 million people, making it the 11th-largest Roman Catholic population in the world.
Manunta, who visited the country just last month, said the Catholic faith remains vibrant there.
"People are very devout," he said. "You climb into a cab, and the cabdriver has images of the saints across the dashboard."
There are statues of Mary in public squares, and street names often feature the names of Catholic saints, he said.
"It's very difficult for a person to be in a place like Argentina and not be in contact with the faith in some way," he said.
Manunta hopes the church can export some of that fervor to other parts of the world where Catholicism needs a boost.

Applemen 'Schleuss' 'Dogs
Musselman pitcher gets offensive explosion started in win
March 30, 2013
INWOOD — Musselman pitcher Chris Schleuss found himself in quite the predicament against Martinsburg Friday afternoon at home. One of his own making, and it had nothing to do with the Bulldogs' bat....
This is not the beginning of the end. The beginning was last year when inept coaching brought a good team to its knees through poor decisions and promotion of bad behavior and poor team chemistry. It was about the worst coaching you could imagine on the high school level. Martinsburg is now the new Musselman.

Johansson tabbed GNAC Female AOY
Related Links
Johansson, who outpointed Seattle Pacific track standout Ali Worthen 25-17 in the balloting, led the Alaska Anchorage's women's basketball team to a 30-5 record and the GNAC and NCAA West Regional titles this season. The GNAC Player of the Year also helped the Seawolves finish with a No. 7 ranking in the final WBCA Top 25 poll as UAA stayed ranked in the top 20 her entire career.
The Gothenburg, Sweden, native was named to both the WBCA (Coaches) and Daktronics (sports info directors) All-American teams, earning first-team honors on the coaches' team and third team Daktronics honors.
Johansson, who was the MVP in the West Regional Tournament, led UAA in scoring (14.3 ppg) and rebounding (8.6 rpg) and was the only player in the GNAC to rank in the top 12 in scoring (8th), rebounding (4th), field goal percentage (6th, .543) and assists (12th, 2.8 apg). In conference games, she averaged a double-double (15.1 points and 10.3 rebounds) and shot 58.1 percent as UAA posted a 16-2 record.
She finished her career ranked among the GNAC all-time leaders in virtually every major category, including 11th in scoring (1,393), 9th in rebounding (808), 11th in steals (195), 7th in field goal percentage (53.3), 21st in blocks (70) and 32nd in assists (247).
Johansson becomes the first Seawolf woman to win the award in the 11-year history of the league and joins 2007-08 men's winner David Registe (track & field) as the second UAA athlete earn the honor.
Wood, who posted a perfect 12-0 record this spring, is the first baseball player in the conference to win the award. The senior from Junction City, Ore., led the Wolves to their 11th consecutive GNAC baseball title, carving out a 1.69 earned run average. He allowed just 63 hits in 96 innings, while walking just 12 and striking out 89 in earning GNAC Pitcher-of-the-Year honors.
The Wolves right-hander – who finished three points ahead of Western Washington basketball player Rory Blanche and UAA distance runner Micah Chelimo (Jr., Kapkoi, Kenya) in the balloting – set GNAC career records for lowest ERA (2.01), most shutouts (5) and fewest hits allowed per nine innings (6.50).
He won 20 consecutive games over two seasons, just one shy of the NCAA Division II national record, while holding opponents to a record-low .199 average. The previous record was .230.

INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. — In a medical emergency, every second counts. Whether it is a head injury, stroke, heart attack, laceration or a broken bone all need medical attention as quickly as possible.In 2011, the Incline Village Community Hospital emergency room provided 4,200 patients with emergency room services. Not all had life threatening emergencies, but all were able to go to an emergency room in Incline Village. Many rural communities like Incline Village are not fortunate to have a hospital available to them 24 hours per day."I personally believe this is one of the most valuable assets of this community," said Incline resident Jonathan Smith. "Our community is very fortunate to have an emergency room that is available 24/7."Smith is chairing "Be a Hero," Incline Village Community Hospital Foundation's capital campaign that has been focused on enhancing health care services offered at the hospital.To better facilitate construction work and guarantee no interruption in patient services, the Emergency Room Remodel and Diagnostic Imaging Enhancement project was divided into two phases:• Phase 1 included the renovation for the Emergency Department and was completed in 2008.• Phase 2 focuses on upgrading the Diagnostic Imaging Suite, CT equipment and hospital's East wing. Work on Phase 2 began May 1 and the majority of the project components will be completed by the end of 2012. "We raised (more than) $640,000 already since beginning the campaign," Smith said. "And to finish we need to raise an additional $360,000."Emergency medicine and diagnostic imaging technology go hand in hand. Critical to the improvement of patient care at Incline Village Community Hospital is to reconfigure space in the hospital's diagnostic imagining suite to allow for a new state-of-the-art 16-slice CT scanner. Phase 2 not only includes upgrade of the diagnostic imagining suite but it also covers an updated East entrance and a new patient waiting area.The campaign already received several large gifts but gifts of all sizes are needed and appreciated to complete the campaign Smith said. IVCH Foundation was successful in raising funds during 2011, said Margo Lalchandani, president of the IVCH Foundation Board."Funds raised for this project stay right here in Incline," she said. "And 100 percent of every donor's gift for Phase 2 goes directly to this project." To help Be a Hero at the Incline Village Hospital, send donations to IVCH Foundation at 880 Alder Ave. in Incline Village or go online to www.tfhd.com/ivch-waystogive.asp. Donors making contributions of $5,000 or more will be recognized on the Donor Wall inside the hospital. If you need information or have questions, call Michelle Schmitter, IVCH Foundation Manager, at 775-888-4204.— Jean Eick is the Communications Manager for the Parasol Tahoe Community Foundation.

Great value, don't need anything else for your laundry routine Review by Jen
Price Value Quality
I've used several cloth diaper safe detergents, but always found myself adding things like vinegar, or RLR to my wash routine as the detergent alone didn't seem to get the diapers clean enough. After some debate, I tried Rockin Green after a friend recommended it and have found it to be fantastic! I have hard water, so their Hard Rock formula has been perfect. I just need a tablespoon or two and our cloth diapers come out smelling clean and fresh - its great! I no longer have a lingering ammonia smell in our diaper pail either - I think the diapers have finally just been cleaned of all the residue that may have been in them. I no longer need to rinse out poopy diapers as much as I used too - they just come out of the wash bright white like the day they arrived. I honestly can't say enough good things about this product - it has made doing cloth diaper laundry a breeze! (Posted on 12/31/10)Would you recommend this product to a friend? Without hesitation!
Best detergent I've used! Review by Rach
Value Quality Price
I love this stuff! Cleans messy diapers, gets rid of stains and NO lingering odours. I have hard water and have always had trouble with build up. I haven't had any build up issues with this detergent. And it leaves my diapers soft too. I also use it for my kids regular laundry because of sensitive skin. (Posted on 7/27/11)

Upshur County commissioners balked at throwing their support behind a low-income housing project after the local Landlords Association expressed concerns over the matter.
Joe Leighton approached the county commission nearly two months ago, proposing to build an estimated 30-unit rental property that would be similar to one he is building in Gilmer County. He said the Buckhannon project would be built in an area identified by the 2010 Census. But to qualify for federal tax credits, the project would need the support of the county government.
"If I have the support of the county commission, the Economic Development Authority, the city and all those stakeholders, we can win an allocation of tax credits for 2013," Leighton said. "The support of the community is not only important to the scoring system, it's important to me. I don't like to work where I'm not wanted."
The rent for the one- , two- and three-bedroom units will range from about $350 to $500 per month. The amount is regulated by the federal Housing and Urban Development agency, Leighton said. The rent would also include utilities.
But Jody Light, representing the Upshur County Chapter of the West Virginia Landlords Association, said her organization was concerned about the vast number of unknowns surrounding the project.
"We don't have the property identified. We don't have the investors identified, and we don't have a property management team identified," she said. "There's so much vague information for us to say, 'Gung Ho.' There's too many unknowns. He may build a wonderful project. But we don't have enough facts. What's today may not be what's tomorrow."
Leighton said without the letters of support from the community organizations, he would not be able to financially proceed with the project. He said he believes there is a need for quality, low-income housing.
"All of the planets need to be in alignment for me to have a fighting chance," he said regarding receiving the tax credits. "I don't like to have a fighting chance. I like to know I can win. So all of the ducks have to be in the proper alignment."
Commissioner JC Raffety said the number of school children receiving free or reduced meals "indicates there is a substantial amount of families who are having trouble making ends meet."
Light, however, said low-income rental units is not the way to attract higher-paying industrial and manufacturing jobs. She said those workers who would be employed at such places would be ineligible to rent an apartment at this complex. She also said the project only creates a part-time property manager and a part-time maintenance worker.

The upper King Street store that housed Reuben's Men's and Boys' Wear for many years could be on its way to the rubble pile.
The two-story, wood-and-stucco building at 480 King St. is in "fair" shape, but it has significant rot and water damage, local structural engineer Jason Broadway said in a report on the building's condition to property owner 480 King St. LLC. The property was bought in the spring by an Ohio-based investment firm. Reuben's closed last spring.
Broadway is recommending demolition for a number of reasons. The stucco added during a previous renovation is redirecting water into the structure, adding to the water damage of the exterior walls, he said. Flooding during heavy rains also reaches the bottom of the floor joists on the ground floor, posing a risk to the long-term longevity of the flooring and the building as a whole, Broadway said.
He said the lot cannot be regraded to alleviate flooding because of nearby structures and utilities. Regrading also would undermine the existing shallow foundation, further destabilizing the building.
Broadway recommended the main structure, which held retail space on the ground floor and living space upstairs, and another small building with a failed floor on the lot's rear be torn down.
The Charleston Board of Architectural Review will take up the building's future on Wednesday.
Local businessman Reuben Reeder operated the shop in the building he bought after 15 years as manager and later owner of Leon's Men's and Boys' Wear, which was across the street until 1996. Reeder changed the name when he moved to 480 King St. He died in 2005.
The owners want to replace the building with a new structure, possibly three floors, with retail on the first level and office space upstairs, according to Glick/Boehm & Associates architectural firm.

TRUCKEE, Calif. - The stock market had a good year in 2012 and has opened 2013 with a bang. This year the S&P 500 is already up more than 3 percent. Though the stock market reacts to a variety of economic reports, political decisions and global events, the main driver of the stock market is corporate earnings.Corporate earnings are dependent on the economy, but regardless of what's going on in Washington, D.C., or the Euro zone, as long as corporate profits are good, the market should perform fairly well.Many stock market analysts use a metric to evaluate stocks known as the PE or price to earnings ratio. The PE ratio is simply the price of the stock divided by the companies' earnings per share.If a stock has a high PE ratio that implies that the market has pretty high expectations for the earnings growth potential of that company. A stock with a low PE ratio is known as a "value stock" and that ratio implies that the market is not expecting real high earnings growth from that company.The PE ratio can also be calculated for the market as a whole. For the S&P 500 that is done by getting the PE for all 500 stocks that make up the index. If the market's PE ratio is high, the market may be considered expensive, if the market's PE ratio is low, the market may be considered to be cheap. Currently, the PE ratio of the market is about 16.3, which means that is takes $16.30 to buy $1.00 of earnings. Historically this is not a very high level.After the end of each quarter corporations release their earnings for the prior three months and the release of those numbers has a real impact on stock prices.Alcoa and Wells Fargo Bank are two of the major companies that have already reported their earnings and their reports were pretty good. Alcoa reported a profit of $242 million on revenues of $5.9 billion. Last year they reported a loss for the same time frame. Wells Fargo also had a decent report as they earned 89 cents per share on revenue of $21.9 billion.Over the next few weeks most of the major companies will report and the release of those numbers is something that can create some volatility in the individual stocks and have an effect on the overall market.Kenneth Roberts is a Truckee based Registered Investment Advisor.

Employees keen to volunteer: Study
14 September 2006
by Adharanand Finn
Most employees say they would prefer to work for a company that allows its staff time off to volunteer, new research in the UK has found.
According to a survey of UK businesses out today by Community Service Volunteers' Make a Difference Day and Barclays, 92% of employees say that they would rather work for a company with an employee volunteering scheme.
Volunteering is also good for staff morale, according to the research. It found that 90% of employees feel that volunteering has improved morale in the workplace, while around 59% feel it makes them more energised and productive at work.
Employers also concur with the findings, with 85% of companies saying volunteering helps with productivity, while 42% of firms say that volunteering schemes help reduce the number of staff sick days.
Alastair Camp, the director of corporate responsibility at Barclays, said: "These figures show how big business is really catching on to the virtues of volunteering. Billions of pounds are lost to the UK economy each year through absenteeism.
"Volunteering can help reduce the number of sick days and increase business productivity, as well as produce happier and healthier staff. Overall, the saving to business could be enormous."
According to the survey, the most popular form of volunteering is supporting young people. Around 39% of respondents say they would like to help young people with numeracy, career options or mentoring. This was closely followed by environmental work (35%).
At the other end of the scale, however, only 3% of respondents say they would like to volunteer in hospitals, while just 7% say they would like to volunteer with young offenders.
CSV Make a Difference Day manager, Claire Ghoussoub, said: "It's really encouraging to see so many people dedicated to supporting young people and improving the environment. However we would also like to encourage more public sector employers to open their doors more widely to increase volunteering opportunities in hospitals, prisons and social services."

Aaron Roth can relate to Ted Willman's plight regarding the loss of a top player to injury.
To a certain extent, he can anyway.
As the 60-40 win Roth's McComb Panthers posted Saturday against Calvert will attest, things are much, much better now.
"We had a starter out early, Dalton Buck didn't play the first month of the year," Roth said of his senior backcourt leader who averaged 13.4 points per game last year. "He had a broken bone in his leg and we started out something like 1-5 without him.
"Since then, we've gone 7-3 with a loss to New Riegel at the buzzer and to Liberty-Benton last night," he said. "Honestly, if we can get some momentum going, we can be a dangerous team."
The Panthers had plenty of momentum going early.
Fact Box
McComb 60, Calvert 40
McComb (8-8): Taylor Reardon 4-0-11; Mitch Schroeder 1-0-2; Clay Dysert 4-0-8; Dalton Buck 4-2-13; Cody Wilson 6-0-12; Jerry Brown 2-0-4; Clay Grubb 5-0-10; Chas Shoop 0-0-0. Totals: 26-2-60.

McComb15171711 - 60

Field goals: McComb 26-57; Calvert 18-41.

Rebounds: McComb 32 (Dysert 7, Wilson 6, Grubb 6); Calvert 22 (Perry 6).
Turnovers: McComb 10; Calvert 16.
Cody Wilson drove for a layup on the opening possession, Jerry Brown fed Clay Grubb for a basket 25 seconds later and then Wilson took a pass from Taylor Reardon for another layup and it was 6-0 in a matter of 90 seconds.
All that after scoring just 19 points all night in a 57-19 Blanchard Valley Conference loss to Liberty-Benton Friday.
"(Friday) night, we came out a little tight, got down early and it seemed like nothing would go in the bucket for us," Roth said. "Things just snowballed on us from there.
"That's the good thing about basketball - you get beat Friday, but usually, you're going to turn around and play again on Saturday. I told the kids that game's over and there's nothing we can do about it.
"Tonight, our first two plays against their man, we had two set plays and they both worked," he said. "That really gave our kids confidence."
The Panthers opened a 15-2 first-quarter lead with Wilson scoring six, Grubb four and Buck getting a couple assists. Buck then got into the scoring act with six points in the second period, when McComb pushed the margin to 32-12.
His value wasn't lost on Willman, whose club is now 3-14 while having played the entire season without injured Nick Warnement, last year's Midland Athletic League Player of the Year.
"It's amazing what you can do when you have your No.1 guy who can get you into things out there," Willman said. "Aaron and I talked before the game and he said, 'We had the same struggle you had, but you've had to deal with it longer than I did.'
"Their athleticism at the guards was a big thing for them," he said. "They close out so well. We just didn't communicate out there and the first three possessions, they were up 6-0.
"We're not good enough to make a big run against guards who are that quick," he said. "We're just not the type of team right now that can reel off 15 or so points on a team."
McComb led by as many as 27 early in the second half at 43-16. Buck and Taylor Reardon each hit three 3-pointers in scoring 13 and 11 points, respectively. Wilson added 12 points and Grubb checked in with 10.
"When you have four players scoring like that, it makes it a lot easier for us," Roth said.
Austin Perry led Calvert with eight points and six rebounds. Austin Ball added seven points while Brian Gruss, Mike Bennett and Jared Thompson each hit for six.
"Our effort wasn't great in the first half but it was much better in the second half," Willman said. "The outcome wasn't what we wanted but it was good to see us respond in the second half. If you don't, you get beat by 40. So it was good to see us respond."

Milk and yogurt linked to greater bone density but ice cream falls short
Researchers from the Institute for Aging Research (IFAR) at Hebrew SeniorLife, an affiliate of Harvard Medical School, investigated the links of milk, yogurt, cheese, cream, most dairy (dairy without cream) and fluid dairy (milk + yogurt) with bone mineral density (BMD). This new study suggests that not all dairy is alike in benefits for promoting bone strength.
For this new study, 3,212 participants filled out a food frequency questionnaire, (1992-1995) or 1995-1998) and were followed until 2005 for hip fractures. Age range for participants was 26 to 85 years, with the average age being 55, from the Framingham Offspring study.
Researchers compared participants' dairy intake with BMD measurement. The results revealed milk and yogurt consumption was linked with hip BMD but not spine while cream could negatively influence BMD. In their conclusion, the researchers write "not all dairy products are equally beneficial for the skeleton."
According to the study, selecting low-fat milk or yogurt over cream can increase intake of protein, calcium and vitamin D, while limiting intake of saturated fats.
Dr. Shivani Sahni, Ph.D., Research Assistant Scientist l, Musculoskeletal Research, IFAR and lead author of the study, states: "Dairy foods provide several important nutrients that are beneficial for bone health."
"However, cream and its products such as ice cream have lower levels of these nutrients and have higher levels of fat and sugar. In this study, 2.5 to 3 servings of milk and yogurt intake per day were associated with better bone density. More research is needed to examine the role of cheese intake (some of which can be high in fat and sodium), and whether individual dairy foods have a significant impact in reducing fractures."
This study is an example of ongoing research aimed on the association between nutrition and bone health. Previous research suggest that dairy products contain more than one beneficial nutrient, and for this reason certain dairy products may contribute towards maintaining healthier bones.
According to The Dairy Council, "milk and dairy products contain many nutrients. Milk, cheese and yogurt contain beneficial nutrients in varying quantities, these nutrients include; calcium, magnesium, folate and zinc.
Research such as this new study supports the theory that proper nutrition can help fight osteoporosis
This study appears in the journal Archives of Osteoporosis.
According to the National Osteoporosis Foundation;
Osteoporosis is a disease of the bones. It happens when you lose too much bone, make too little bone or both. As a result, bones become weak and can break from a minor fall or, in serious cases, even from simple actions, like sneezing or bumping into furniture.
About 10 million Americans have osteoporosis. About 34 million are at risk for the disease. Estimates suggest that about half of all women older than 50, and up to one in four men, will break a bone because of osteoporosis.
Osteoporosis is responsible for two million broken bones and $19 billion in related costs every year. By 2025, experts predict that osteoporosis will be responsible for approximately three million fractures and $25.3 billion in costs each year.
More information on osteoporosis can be viewed online at The National Osteoporosis Foundation.

A West Seneca man was stopped for speeding in Alden over the weekend and then charged with drunken driving.
State police officials said they pulled over a vehicle driven by Barry Depczynski, 37, at about 7:30 p.m. Friday on Genesee Street. Depczynski failed field sobriety tests and was taken to the state police barracks in Clarence, where he posted blood-alcohol level of .28 percent, which is more than three times the legal limit, authorities said.
Depczynski was charged with aggravated driving while intoxicated and is scheduled to appear in Town of Alden Court at a later date.

It's a bird ... it's a plane ... it's super grandma!
When 94-year-old Frederika Goldberger retired in the early 80s, she was bored and unhappy, so her grandson, Sacha Goldberger, began creating incredible photographs of her to lift her spirits and keep her active.
After a few years and plenty of photoshoots, Mamika – Frederika's superhero alter ego – was created.
"I always loved comics and I wanted to show what could happen to superheroes when they are old," Sacha told TODAY.com.
"The pictures gave her something to do again and helped give her more self-confidence again," Sacha said. "It's a love story. Before I made the pictures, I wanted everyone to know her – she's incredible."
But long before she posed for the camera, Frederika was a hero. Born a baroness into a wealthly Jewish family in Budapest, Hungary, she was forced into hiding during World War II. Later, Frederika and her husband would risk their lives to help hide others from the Nazis – by the end of the war, her efforts had saved 10 people. Frederika later relocated to France where she raised her family.
Mamika – which translates to "my little grandma" in Hungarian – no longer has to worry about post-retirement boredom. This past April Sacha's first book, Mamika: My Mighty Little Grandmother was published and the duo has begun working on a movie together.
"Before, I'd see pictures of older people and they always looked sad," Sacha said. "I wanted to show that you can be old and still have a sense of humor and be fun."

Coming off of the first win in program history, the Stetson lacrosse team will get back in action this Friday, playing at Howard in the team's regular season finale. The Hatters (1-13, 1-2) and the Bison (1-14, 0-2) will begin at 5:00 p.m. in Washington, D.C.
Stetson can secure a spot in the Atlantic Sun Conference Tournament with a win on Friday, but the Hatters wouldn't be out of the running with a loss to the Bison. If Stetson isn't able to clinch a berth with a win over Howard, the Hatters would need Kennesaw State (1-8, 1-2) to fall to Detroit (3-13, 2-1) on Sunday.
If that scenario were to play, Stetson, Kennesaw State, and Howard would be in a three-way tie at 1-3 in league play. Since all three teams would be tied against each other, and all would have lost to both Jacksonville and Detroit, the next tie-breaker would be non-conference RPI. In overall RPI, the teams are currently ranked Stetson, then KSU, and then Howard.
Of course, with a win on Friday, all of those complications will become moot. Stetson faces the challenge of a Howard team that has one win on the season, a 17-4 victory at Delaware State back on March 15. In A-Sun play, the Bison lost to Detroit 16-5, and fell to Kennesaw State by a score of 14-13.
The Hatters are coming off of an emotional victory over the Owls that took nearly six hours thanks to weather delays. Stetson got it done on offense and defense, scoring a season high 19 goals, while holding KSU to just seven goals, a season best for the Hatters.
A trio of freshmen, Maylis Broderick, Danielle Horgan, and Mary Kate O'Sullivan, scored four goals in the victory. Broderick leads the team with 18 goals and five assists in her first season of collegiate lacrosse. Sophomore Samantha Akl, who leads Stetson with six assists in 2013, recorded four alone in the win against KSU.

The Foothill League track and field finals delivered the tight competition everyone expected - and at least one dominant victory that few expected.
Two undefeated Foothill League track and field teams. One winner-take-all meet.
Canyon vs. Saugus was the first meeting of Foothill League contenders this season. As it turns out, the girls meet isn't done being contended quite yet.
Canyon, Golden Valley and Saugus have established themselves as the top tier of the 2013 Foothill League team track and field season.
The Foothill League title race is like any other on the track, really. A good start doesn't guarantee a win, but it certainly helps.
There were several instances in the first half when Golden Valley had Hart pushed into a corner.
The offense looked like the 2010 season. The defense looked like last season.
In all honesty, you could make the argument that Rob and Chris Evans have deserved The Signal's Coach of the Year award in each of the past three years.
Entering the season, everyone knew Tim White could jump.
Unfortunately, Tiffini Stone knew what it was like to finish as runner-up at the CIF-Southern Section Division II finals. She'd been doing it for four years.
Already in her life, Golden Valley senior Courtney Maduike has been to England, Ireland and Nigeria, where her family is originally from.
Canyon High graduate Janice Walker has so many positive things going on in her life that it's hard to find a drawback.
It's become almost routine, categorizing the latest Saugus senior who's completed her time in the cross country and distance-running programs.
CLOVIS - By the time you reach the CIF State Track and Field Championships, success is very relative.

"Heartless" Herb Snyder
I am encouraging all Christian voters of both political parties to support Jim Ruland for election to the West Virginia State Senate and vote against current liberal senator Herb Snyder.
Mr. Snyder refuses to release any information to West Virginia voters concerning his stands on current issues (www.votesmart.org/candidate/10004/herb-snyder) and a review of his West Virginia abortion voting record tells the bloody tale of why he is hiding his pro-death positions.
Despite being a father of six children, Mr. Snyder is absolutely heartless in leading the abortion charge to decapitate and dismember as many unborn WV children as possible (preferably at taxpayer expense).
Mr. Snyder is Planned Parenthood's political darling with an astounding 100 percent pro-abortion voting record in the West Virginia state Senate over the past 12 years. Mr. Snyder even supported partial birth abortion (1997 Senate vote)! If you wonder why a politician can be so cruel, the answer is usually "follow the money."
Where do you suppose Mr. Snyder got the $100,000 that he has spent (so far) in the 2012 campaign to defend his senate seat?
His name is plastered all over the county on every tractor-trailer that blood money from out-of-state Planned Parenthood supporters can buy.
Despite being outspent 5-to-1, Jim Ruland is trying mightily to get his conservative pro-life message out to Panhandle voters.
I am asking all parents, Democrat and Republican, to please look closely into the innocent faces of your children or grandchildren tonight and remember Mr. Snyder's bloody rampage against other little West Virginia girls and boys just like yours.
Please go do the right thing on Election Day and send Jim Ruland to Charleston.

Two teams on 16-game winning streaks will meet head-to-head Saturday afternoon as the Stetson Hatters host the Florida Gulf Coast Eagles in an Atlantic Sun Conference showdown at the Edmunds Center. Tip-off is scheduled for 1 p.m. with live coverage on HatterVision, ASun.TV, and WSBB.
Stetson (19-7, 12-3 A-Sun) carries a 16-game home court winning streak into Saturday's contest, which as of Friday is tied for the fifth-longest active home court winning streak in the nation.
The Eagles (22-5, 15-0 A-Sun), meanwhile, have won 16 straight games overall and are undefeated in A-Sun action this season.
The Hatters begin a stretch of three straight home games to conclude the regular season. Stetson is currently in third-place in the conference, three games back of FGCU and a half-game behind Mercer in the league standings.
"Every game is important, (Saturday's game) is just like every other game in the conference," Stetson head coach Lynn Bria said. "You are trying to win as many games as you can and get the best seed that you can for the tournament. That's what we try to do with all of them.
"It's good too that we are at home, especially for our next three games," Bria added. "I like the fact that we finish up at home."
The Hatters are a perfect 12-0 at home this season, and have not lost at the Edmunds Center since Jan. 21 of last year to FGCU. Stetson has also won 28 of its last 29 home games dating back to 2011.
Senior Victoria McGowan was named A-Sun Player of the Week earlier this week after recording a triple-double (19/12/10) against Lipscomb on Monday. She ranks third in the conference in scoring (16.9 ppg) and has registered double figures in 23 of her 25 games this season.
"Our main focus right now is getting the first or second seed for the conference tournament," McGowan said.
Stetson is looking to even the season series against FGCU. The Eagles defeated the Hatters 74-55 in Fort Myers on Jan. 26 in game where FGCU outrebounded Stetson 43-29.
"I said before we played them the first time that the key is rebounding, and I don't think that has changed," Bria said. "I think whoever can win the rebounding battle has a great chance to win."
McGowan also says rebounding will be a key factor on Saturday.
"We have to communicate well and we have to play tough," McGowan said. "We have to rebound and box out, and keep them off the glass. Rebounding was what killed us the first game, especially (FGCU's) offensive rebounding."
Live video can be seen on HatterVision and ASun.TV, while an audio broadcast can be heard on WSBB, 1230 AM New Smyrna Beach, 1490 AM DeLand, and on myam1230.com.
