Watchers of Elkins' economy were floored by Monday's announcement of the addition of nearly150 new jobs to the ranks of a local housing materials manufacturer.
Armstrong Worldwide Industries reported Monday that it will add 145 new jobs to its Beverly plant, according to Jennifer Johnson, the company's senior manager of corporate communications and public affairs.
The floor, ceiling and cabinet manufacturer has scheduled four open houses to recruit qualified applicants to fill the open slots, Johnson said. The open houses will take place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday and on Dec. 15, Jan. 5 and Jan. 19 at the Beverly plant on Route 250. Additional February dates will be added if necessary.
"We're seeing new home construction improve a bit, and we believe it'll continue to improve," Johnson said. "Since our wood flooring business is tied to new home construction, we're adding back shifts in Beverly to anticipate our customers' needs."
Armstrong, which has been a fixture in Beverly for more than two decades, is in search of diligent workers eager to learn.
"We offer competitive wages, excellent benefits and a positive working environment committed to safety and quality," Johnson said. "There's an opportunity here for almost anyone who is willing to learn and work."
Robbie Morris, executive director of the Randolph County Development Authority, said he was pleased with the addition of so many jobs to the county's work force. Armstrong's products are in such high demand that the company deemed it necessary to add enough workers to staff a third 3 to 11 p.m. shift, he said.
"They can't produce enough flooring up there now," Morris said Monday. "The fact that they're hiring this many people up there is just great. I'm very pleased."
Morris also attributed the company's success, in part, to the recent turnaround in the housing market.
"A lot of it has to do with the housing market - the numbers have been increasing over the last few months," he aid. "In fact, the economy as a whole has been improving over the last few months."
"I'd like to congratulate Armstrong's managers and its employees for their hard work and what they do at the plant," Morris added. "Armstrong is one of the anchors of the Randolph County economy."
Armstrong currently employs 575 at its Beverly location.
Based in Lancaster, Pa., Armstrong World Industries was founded in 1860 and runs 32 plants in eight countries, according to its website.

Everyone has been dying for a look at the top-secret Google Glass augmented reality glasses. Several New York City subway riders got a look at them for free last weekend because Google co-founder Sergey Brin just plain showed up on the subway wearing them, in everyday street clothes, with no security detail—even though they are perhaps the most-anticipated new gadget technology of the decade.
Wait a minute. Sergey Brin is the 13th-wealthiest person in America, has a net value of nearly $20 billion, and he rides the subway when he visits New York City? If you're curious, that ride cost him all of $2.50.
Nonetheless, Sergey Brin wore Google Glass on the subway, and was spotted by self-described "Wearable Computing and Augmented Reality enthusiast" Noah Zerkin. "Yeeeah..," Mr. Zerkin wrote on his Twitter post announcing the encounter, "I just had a brief conversation with the most powerful man in the world. On the downtown 3 train. Nice guy." And indeed, Sergey Brin was wearing those yet-to-be-released augmented reality glasses that let you perform computer functions using just your eyeballs.
"He was probably playing Words With Friends during your conversation," snapped back one clever Tweeter.
Noah Zerkin, the "regular guy" who spotted Brin in the wearable computing glasses, is not actually that regular of a "regular guy". Mr. Zerkin works in the augmented reality field, and is actually working on a pair of these glasses called the Vuzix M100. These will not be competitors to Google Glass, they are likely to use the Google Glass technology. Google Glass will be "fragmented" like the Android operating system. Plenty of different competing devices will be able to use the same basic Google Glass operating system, and the Vuzix M100—which were on display at CES 2013—may be one of them.
This is not the first time we have seen the Google Glass augmented reality glasses in public, but it may be their most unexpected appearance. Sergey Brin has worn the glasses in public before. Designer Diane von Furstenberg wore them at New York Fashion Week, Sergey Brin has done interviews in them, and skydivers wore Google Glass to make a spectacular video from this year's I/O Conference.
The Google Glass glasses are expected to be available in 2014, and the presumed cost will be around $1,500.

NIAGARA FALLS – A Pine Avenue gas station and LaSalle taxi driver were held up at gunpoint Tuesday night in what police believe were unrelated incidents.
A clerk in a Sunoco station on Pine Avenue told officers that two men wearing ski masks and gloves, both brandishing handguns, entered the store at 7:21 p.m. and demanded money from the cash register. One suspect, carrying what appeared to be a semiautomatic handgun with a silver finish, immediately ran behind the counter, while the second suspect ran to the cashier's right and held what appeared to be a silver revolver to the victim's head. The cashier told police he emptied the cash drawer of about $200 and the suspects fled toward Ninth Street.
Both suspects are described as black males, one wearing black pants and a black hoodie. The other suspect was wearing black pants and a black jacket with white arms and white around the neck.
Another armed robbery was reported at 9:30 p.m. A female LaSalle Taxi Cab driver said she picked up three males in the 500 block of Seventh Street and was asked to drive them to Byrd Avenue. When they arrived, one of the men displayed put a gun to the back of her head, saying, "Gimme your money."
The driver said told police she handed over $17 and the trio fled.
The suspect with the gun was described as a black male in his 20s wearing a black, fitted hat and a black coat. The other two were described as a younger black male wearing a black hoodie and a younger white male with short brown hair and a dark Champion sweater with a red C on the left corner of his chest.
Police spoke to residents of Byrd Avenue looking for suspects. No arrests have been reported.
Capt. William M. Thomson, chief of detectives said Wednesday that both cases remained under investigation and said the two cases were unrelated.

Maryland adds 8,000 jobs in February; sixth straight month of job growth
Number of employed Marylanders at its highest level since September 2008
BALTIMORE, MD (March 30, 2012) - Data released today by the U.S. Department of Labor Bureau of Labor
Statistics shows that Maryland added 8,000 jobs in February. February was the sixth straight month of job
growth; additionally, January's preliminary gain of 5,000 jobs was revised upward to 9,100 jobs. Maryland's
unemployment rate remains at 6.5 percent, the lowest unemployment rate in three years and nearly two full
percentage points better than the national rate of 8.3 percent.
"We're pleased that February's numbers reflect our investments in workforce training and education, and
we're seeing jobs coming back," said Maryland Labor Secretary Alexander M. Sanchez. "More Marylanders are
working now than they have been at any time since September 2008. This is great news, but we need to
continue to cultivate our best-in-the-nation workforce."
The private sector propelled February's growth, rising by 10,500 jobs over-the-month. Maryland added
jobs in several industries, including 5,800 in Education, Health Care, and Social Assistance; 5,100 in
Professional and Business Services; and 2,700 in Construction. Since February 2011, Maryland has added
47,000 jobs, 42,200 of which are in the private sector. Notable increases posted in Education, Health Care,
and Social Assistance (17,000 jobs); Professional and Business Services (12,300 jobs); Natural Resources,
Mining, and Construction (7,300 jobs); and Leisure and Hospitality (6,600 jobs). Several sectors posted
decreases: Manufacturing (-400); Trade/Transportation/Warehousing/Utilities (-3,400); Government (-2,500);
and Other Services (-2,200).
Secretary Sanchez will brief the media on the February 2012 jobs report during a conference call at
noon today (call-in: 800-619-4425; passcode: 7016775).
The Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation protects and
empowers Marylanders by safeguarding workers, protecting
consumers, providing a safety net and cultivating a thriving
workforce that can meet the demands of Marylands dynamic
economy. Follow DLLR on Twitter

UNIVERSITY PARK -Penn State offensive line coach Mac McWhorter and his wife Becky have developed a way that they can both play a role in helping to prepare the linemen for each weekend's game.
"I push them to the edge, and she babies them so we have got a good mixture there," McWhorter said in his thick southern accent.
While McWhorter pushes his players to the limit each day in practice, his wife is there to provide a comforting touch to the players after.
Part of coach Bill O'Brien's coaching philosophy is to have a family orientated program. O'Brien sometimes allows coaches' children and spouses to attend practice, and he tries to make the team have a family friendly feel to it.
Becky McWorther, or Mamma Hog as she is affectionately known to the offensive linemen, is one of the wives that loves being around the players.
McWorther said on a conference call Wednesday that his wife even hugs every linemen after practice, no matter how sweaty or smelly they are.
Mamma Hog has a Friday ritual where she cooks up what McWorther described as hot treats for the linemen for them to have before the next day's game.
The ingredients in those treats remain a mystery, however.
"There are some things that she cooks up, and there are special ingredients in those things that allow them to play at a high level," McWorther joked on a conference call Wednesday. "I would really have to kill you if I told you what was in them, it is that secret."
In addition to cooking the treats for her hogs, Mamma Hog also prepares a speech for the players that tells them what the food will allow them to do the following day's game.
McWorther is back to coaching after retiring from Texas in 2012 where he served as associate head coach and offensive line coach under Mack Brown. O"Brien said he was able to recruit his good friend to come back and coach with him.
A southerner his entire life, McWorther said he and his wife are enjoying the northern hospitality they have been treated to since moving to Pennsylvania.
The coach, who will turn 63 in June, said he hasn't thought about how many seasons he has left in him, but he is enjoying the moment and being a part of the new era of Penn State football.
"We're just taking it a day, a season a game at a time right now and that's kind of the way I've always done things," he said. "In this profession, you never know what the next day holds."
n n n
Penn state's bye week comes exactly at the season's midpoint with six games played and six to go.
O'Brien said before Wednesday's practice that the team practiced Monday and Tuesday before having the rest of the week off.
Since there is no opponent to prepare for this week, the Lions three practices have been more about self-scouting their own tendencies and weaknesses.
It has also given the players a chance to get out of practice earlier and get caught up on their school work, O'Brien said.
The team has been going at full throttle since the beginning of August when training camp began, and O'Brien said it is important for his players to go home this weekend and spend time with their families.
"It is a good thing to get home as long as they take care of their school work here at the end of the week the coach said."
n n n
While the players get the weekend off, the coaching staff will be out on recruiting trips trying to sell their message. O'Brien said he will be out Friday night doing some recruiting, but he did not specify where.
The coach said winning four games in a row and having such positive energy around the program will help when the coaches hit the road to try and sell Penn State.
"Kids can see that there is a good product on the field right now, and guys are playing hard," O'Brien said. "I think it is an interesting team to watch because the kids compete and play extremely hard."
O'Brien said his current players also help in recruiting by the way they represent themselves when they are being interviewed. The coach said that is an important thing for parents of perspective recruits to see.
n n n
Some have wondered why the Nittany Lions have not played in the nickel formation this season.
Secondary coach John Butler's response to that is he only had six defensive backs to work with when he accepted the job at Penn State.
"We'll play nickel when we have nickel personnel,' Butler said.
The Lions have only six defensive backs on scholarship this season. Butler said in an ideal world he would like to have 11 or 12 defensive backs, but said he knows because of the NCAA sanctions 9 or 10 would be a more reasonable number to shoot for.
Butler said the coaching staff will have to solve lack of depth in the defensive backfield by going out and recruiting heavily in that area.
True freshmen Da'Quan Davis and Jordan Lucas have already been thrust into action this season. The coaching staff decided it was necessary to burn their redshirt seasons, and play them in games. Butler said the two were desperately needed, and there were no other options.
In a perfect scenario, Butler said it would be a redshirt year for both players.
"We are very, very, very, very, very, very, very far from a perfect scenario," the coach said.

Catherine Zeta-Jones is back – and she looks more jaw-dropping than ever.
The Welsh actress, 43, wowed on Thursday night as she strolled the red carpet for the Red 2 premiere in Westwood, Calif., in a strapless, lacy black dress that showed off her fit physique.
It was one of Zeta-Jones's first public appearances – and her first on a red carpet – since voluntarily checking in to a treatment facility for further help managing her Bipolar II disorder, which she first revealed in 2011.
On Thursday, the Oscar winner posed for photos with co-stars including Bruce Willis, Helen Mirren, Mary-Louise Parker and John Malkovich, stopped for a few photo-ops with fans and laughed with reporters on the red carpet.
Asked whether husband Michael Douglas should call her "doctor" now that she received an honorary degree from Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama last week, she giggled and said, "No! I'm a CBE as well (Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire), and he doesn't call me a CBE either, but I'm still very honored."
Douglas, 68, was not spotted at Thursday's premiere, but at Cannes in May he expressed his support of his wife's decision to seek further treatment. "She's doing a really good job of getting balanced. I'm proud of her."

Cooperative Education
Cooperative Education at Cincinnati State
Since its founding in 1969, Cincinnati State has emphasized the value of integrating cooperative work experience with academic coursework. The College's high graduate employment rate speaks directly to its commitment to providing quality education enriched by on-the-job training. Students encounter "real-world" job demands, helping to clarify their career choices and promote a sense of responsibility. Most co-op experiences are paid placements that afford students an opportunity to earn while learning. Cincinnati State has been recognized nationally for its extensive cooperative education program. More than 600 area employers provide placements for Cincinnati State students who devote at least one semester of their program of study to applying the knowledge they have acquired in the lab and in the classroom.
All four of Cincinnati State's academic divisions require some form of cooperative education as part of their regular course of study.
What is co-op?
Cooperative education, or co-op, is a partnership between academia and industry. Co-op students earn academic credit while gaining paid workplace experience in their field of study. For participating employers, co-op students represent an excellent source of highly motivated personnel, since they are already training to enter the field in which they are working. Such students can also be a cost effective approach to meeting staffing needs.
What is an internship?
Some divisions in the college also allow students to complete an internship. Interns participate in an unpaid, part-time field learning experience related to their career goals. Students must adhere to degree program internship policies and procedures to earn credit.

David Lucado didn't – and ended up in the doghouse recently with girlfriend Britney Spears, the singer reveals in an interview airing Tuesday on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
"We were in a tiffy last night," she says. "It's his fault, of course. He forgot to call me back for a really long time ... like six hours."
DeGeneres jokingly offers to call Lucado and set him straight, but Spears demurs. "No, we're fine now," she says. "We're totally fine."
"I think it was instant, yeah," says the pop star. "I just love that he's very passionate and he's funny and he's sexy. I don't know, I like him. I just ... I love him."
Lucado certainly helped Spears move on after her engagement to Jason Trawick ended in January – a breakup that Spears also works through on her song "Til It's Gone" from her new album Britney Jean, which was released Tuesday.
"I think it's healthy," she says of getting closure through her music. "I think if you're ready to share that with the world, personal things like that, then I think it's very therapeutic and good for you to do that."

In 2009 my family adopted a child from Russia. All of our friends wanted to know how a single income family was able to save for a debt-free adoption. We are now adopting twin girls from Uganda. This blog is how God has grown our family.
Tuesday, April 17, 2012
Home At Last
Coming home came with extra drama as is typical for my family in this adoption process. During what I thought would be my last day in Uganda I picked up the girls passports with the much desired visas stamped inside them, I packed one suitcase to take home, gave away everything else, visited with the staff at the home, and visited with the orphanage director. After that we were off, I successfully bathed and fed all four kids and got them ready to go. I tried to be as prepared as possible because I was to make the trip to Amsterdam with the four kiddos by myself, Chad met us in Amsterdam. However, after our two hour car ride to the airport in the middle of the night my heart was broken once again. This was supposed to be a glorious day, a wonderful day, the end and begining of an adventure but once again God had different plans.
Once we arrived at the airport the airport officials quickly pointed out a typo on the girls visas. I could not believe it there was a tiny little mistake and we could not get on the plane. Fortunately the embassy was able to correct the issue the next day and get us on flights the following night. As I mentioned I had given everything away, our room at the guest house had even been occupied once we left. Therefore for our last day in Uganda we had to rummage through the donation bin at the house for clothing to wear and slept in a tiny room with a twin bed in it. It made for one last Ugandan adventure before we came to America.
Once I arrived in Amsterdam I was thrilled, more than excited to see Chad get off of his plane. We were together all six of us, it did not matter that it was not America yet, all that mattered was that our family was together. We then quickly learned that our flight from Amsterdam to America was way over booked. After speaking with the KLM staff we volunteered our family to be bumped from the flight. We would catch the next flight 24 hours later to America. This was a true blessing for our family for many reasons; it gave us precious family time, it helped ease the jet lag and the rest of the travel, and the compensation helped pay for our trip home. So we had a little vacation in Amsterdam, stayed at a nice hotel in the airport, the girls had their first taste of McDonalds Happy Meals, and the kids played for hours in the airport playgrounds.

ELKINS - The National Weather Service has issued a flood watch for many counties in the area and officials are advising those who live near bodies of water to be cautious.
The flood watch was issued for Randolph, Barbour, Upshur, Pocahontas, Webster, Lewis and other surrounding counties and is in effect through noon today. A freezing rain advisory was issued for Randolph and Pocahontas counties until 6 a.m today.
"Due to ground saturation and an incoming storm system that has the potential to produce rainfall in the amounts of one to one and a half inches by (this) morning, there could be flooding in some areas," said Ken Batty, a metrologists for the NWS in Charleston, on Tuesday. "The recent snow cover could melt and add to the runoff."
The NWS forecast calls for a 100 percent chance of rain today with a 60 percent chance of snow in the evening hours and potentially into Thursday. High temperatures are to remain in the mid-to upper 30s with lows below 20 for most of the week.
Water levels are projected to peak tonight into Thursday after the rain begins to dissipate. As of press time, water level projections are to remain below the flooding stage for the Tygart River Valley, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
Batty advised that residents be cognizant of the weather conditions in their area.
"We are advising people who live in the flood plain to take quick action," he said. "They should monitor water levels in their area regularly and heighten their weather awareness and be prepared should flooding conditions occur."
Batty said that, with the potential of more than an inch of rainfall in a six-to-12-hour window, there could be some problems.
"The good news is that there shouldn't be very much ice in the Tygart Valley area," Batty said. "Much of the snow was flushed out this weekend and we aren't seeing a deep snow cover from this storm. There are no deep freezes projected for the foreseeable future."
Emergency officials are keeping their eyes on the rising water.
"People in this area know how to prepare," said Jim Wise, director of the Randolph County Office of Emergency Management, on Tuesday. "We are doing our best to keep the public notified of any potential situations. Preparedness is the biggest thing in situations like this."
Wise said officials were busy Tuesday getting the latest information on water levels and coordinating flood plain precautions with the residents of those areas.

Gray gabbed the entire time we were in the car yesterday, but I didn't mind because our days together grow short- him starting school all day on Wednesday. He talked about marriage, of course, and I tried to explain why he couldn't marry his cousin Lauren. So his shoulders drooped and he said, Fiiiiiiiiiine. I'll just marry Ivy then I guess. And then we had to talk some more.Then Ivy cried because she and Gray can't get married.
He got to talking about having kids and he said, When I have kids, if I don't have room in my car I will have to put the extra kid in the trunk. And of course I told him that he can't do that and he said, But it will be in the trunk! No one will know.

Tiffin City Schools voters approved a continuing 4.9-mill levy Tuesday.
According to unofficial totals, 2,766 voters approved the operating levy, and 2,506 voters rejected it.
"With the cuts we have made and the approval of this levy request, the district will now be able to balance its budget," Superintendent Donald Coletta said.
Article Photos
Shirley Smith (right), vice president of Tiffin City Board of Education, applauds after receiving partial election results Tuesday evening. From left are Scott Urban, director of instruction and personnel; Donald Coletta, superintendent; and Kathy Venema, president of the board.
Coletta expressed appreciation for the levy campaign team and its leaders, Rob Ledwedge and Bryan Glover; the staff for its commitment to excellence; and the community for supporting children.
He said he is "certainly very grateful to work in a community that values education. I'm impressed that in very difficult economic times, people are willing to sacrifice and make an investment in their future."
The levy is to generate $1.7 million and the owner of a $100,000 home is to pay $150 annually.
Fact Box
Voter turnout
Voter turnout in Seneca County was 32.75 percent Tuesday. Of the county's 35,812 registered voters, 11,728 people voted.
Among them were 8,284 Republicans, or 70.63 percent; 2,967 Democrats, or 25.3 percent; one Green party; six Libertarian party; and 470 nonpartisan ballots.
"We'll continue to work on transitioning our elementary schools to the new grade-band configuration and help students get ready for the upcoming state tests," he said.
Coletta has said the district has tightened its belt due to lack of funds available to it. Officials cannot cut their way out of the budget deficit, he said.
"It is even more critical today than it was in November that this levy pass so the revenue generated can protect instructional programs," he said.
It was the second time the district asked for approval of the levy. According to official totals from November, the levy failed by 330 votes, with 3,513 vote for it and 3,843 against.

Concern over arsenic in rice
As part of an investigation of food products, a Consumer Reports analysis found that some rice products – organic baby rice cereal, rice breakfast cereal, brown rice and white rice – contain arsenic, many at worrisome levels. They found significant levels of inorganic arsenic, a carcinogen, in almost every product category, along with organic arsenic, which is less toxic but still of concern.
Arsenic can infiltrate soil or water due to the decomposition of minerals in the earth, but most of it is due to residues from insecticides, fertilizers and animal feed. Rice contributes 17 percent of dietary exposure to inorganic arsenic, behind fruits and fruit juices at 18 percent, and vegetables at 24 percent.
No federal limits have been set for arsenic in most foods. Rice farmers are seeking improvements in rice cultivation to lower arsenic levels, and nutrition experts report that rice, especially brown rice, is a wholesome food with many health benefits.
Eating a more varied diet and preparing rice by rinsing it first, using a higher proportion of cooking water, and draining off extra water after cooking may reduce arsenic exposure. – Environmental Nutrition Newsletter


text: Since geology is a fairly complicated subject, any on-site information, especially when surrounded by fascinating nature, is especially welcomed by non-experts. The Geology Educational Trail - located in the Zügen Gorge located between Davos-Monstein and Wiesen – is a prime example of the exciting depiction of geological development. The old valley road (closed to car traffic) leads in shade through the narrow, deep valley cutting, becoming evermore narrow, steep and gorge-like. Every once in a while there are flashes of red high above the tree tops and heads of visitors: this is the Rhaetian Railway, which conquers the gorge by passing across viaducts and through tunnels. "Bärentritt" marks the end of the educational trail, but the hiking trail continues through the ruggedly-romantic gorge all the way to Filisur via Wiesen, and along a nature trail.

Farrah Fawcett Dies of Cancer at 62
Fawcett died at 9:28 a.m. PST on Thursday at St. John's Heath Center in Santa Monica, Calif. She was with longtime partner Ryan O'Neal, friend Alana Stewart, friend and hairdresser Mela Murphy and her doctor Lawrence Piro. She had recently returned to St. John's for treatment of complications from anal cancer, first diagnosed three years ago.
"She's gone. She now belongs to the ages," O'Neal tells PEOPLE, also confirming that she received the last rites of the Catholic Church. "She's now with her mother and sister and her God. I loved her with all my heart. I will miss her so very, very much. She was in and out of consciousness. I talked to her all through the night. I told her how very much I loved her. She's in a better place now."
Added O'Neal: "She was with her team when she passed ... Her eyes were open, but she didn't say anything. But you could see in her eyes that she recognized us."
Though O'Neal recently said that he and Fawcett had planned to wed, they did not tie the knot. "There just wasn't time, and Farrah wasn't in any condition to do it," says O'Neal.
Friends and family plan to honor Fawcett with a funeral service at a Catholic cathedral in Los Angeles in the next few days.
Like so much about Fawcett's life – including her bumpy relationship with O'Neal – her heroic struggle to beat the disease was closely followed by her legion of fans.
"I've watched her this past year fight with such courage and so valiantly, but with such humor," Fawcett's Charlie's Angels costar Kate Jackson told PEOPLE in November 2007.
O'Neal, in particular, remained a steadfast supporter of Fawcett, who, despite her frailty, spent the last months of her life filming a TV documentary chronicling her illness, including several trips to Germany to undergo experimental treatment. Fawcett is survived by her son with O'Neal, Redmond, 24, who is currently serving a jail term in California after repeated drug offenses.
Redmond was not there at Fawcett's side when she died, but spoke to his mother on the phone and told her "how much he loved her and asked her to please forgive him that he was so very, very sorry," O'Neal tells PEOPLE.
Texas CharmerBlonde, blue-eyed and petite – and with a trademark mane as flowing and famous as the M.G.M. lion's – the Corpus Christi, Texas, native was born Feb. 2, 1947, the younger daughter of an oil-field contractor and his homemaker wife.
A magnet for male students at the University of Texas at Austin, Fawcett eventually set off for Hollywood. Quickly noticed by casting agents, she began landing small parts in forgettable movies, such as 1970's Myra Breckinridge, based on a gender-bending novel by Gore Vidal. Her role: an ingenuous blonde.
In 1973, Fawcett married actor Lee Majors, forever known as Col. Steve Austin on TV's The Six Million Dollar Man. Three years later, she appeared in the cult sci-fi film Logan's Run and began her stint with costars Jackson and Jaclyn Smith on Charlie's Angels. Well-coiffed and scantily clad, the threesome created an instant sensation, with a weekly following of 23 million fans.
Pie International
"I became famous almost before I had a craft," Fawcett told The New York Times in 1986, four years after her divorce from Majors. (By then, she was already involved with Ryan O'Neal.) "I didn't study drama at school. I was an art major. Suddenly, when I was doing Charlie's Angels, I was getting all this fan mail, and I didn't really know why. I don't think anybody else did, either."
Bumpy Film CareerThough she left TV for what was assumed to be greener pastures – feature films – Fawcett's initial three big-screen vehicles all crash-landed. Her first, 1978's Somebody Killed Her Husband, was lampooned in MAD magazine under the title, Somebody Killed Her Career.
It took some serious dramatic TV roles, including that of a battered wife in 1984's The Burning Bed (which earned her an Emmy nomination), as well as starring in small-screen biopics about pioneering photojournalist Margaret Bourke-White and ill-fated Woolworth heiress Barbara Hutton, for Fawcett to bounce back.
"What would you do if someone said to you, 'You're so popular right now that you can be on the cover of every magazine, but if you do that, you might get overexposed and a backlash will develop'?" Fawcett told The Times after she had emerged from one of the valleys of her career.
Still, she said of fighting for survival in Hollywood, "That's life. Everything has positive and negative consequences."

The 2009 Season is Here!!
Well, well Laxers! It has been a while and Punk has been anxiously waiting for Spring and the rebirth of the NCAA season. Sure indoor is great, but that'll be a topic for another post. E-Lacrosse's new blog platform is going to bring the game to folks on a personal level which is pretty rad.
The season already started last week and Punk has to get his favorites in so it doesn't look like he's jumping on the bandwagon come May.
With the way that the sport is growing, the parity at all levels is going to be insane. There may be an outright #1 or top 1-5 but beyond that every Saturday is going to be a war. And we're lucky to have even more games games on the tube this year!!
So here are Punk's top teams of the 2009 season. Of course there won't be updates every week, but you'll see how these picks will end up and of course Punk will be right on the money!
|The Division 1 List
1. Virgina
2. Syracuse
3. Cornell
4. Maryland
5. Duke
6. Georgetown
7. Johns Hopkins
9. Navy
10. Penn State
|The Divison 2 List
2. C.W. Post
3. Limestone
4. Le Monyne
5. Dowling
6. Mercyhurst
7. Adelphi
8. Merrimack
9. Molloy
10. Wingate

2. Gettysburg
3. Middlebury
4. Stevenson
5. Cortland
6. Ithaca
7. Roanoke
8. Washington
9. Cabrini
10. Wesleyan
And Punk doesn't want to leave out the ladies as you know that he is a big fan, so here are the D1 Women's picks for 2009. Northwestern may be favored to repeat but not on my list…
|The Division 1 List

See ya at the fields and hope to see ya at the shows!!

For her latest single, "Anaconda," the Queens rapper built an entire song around Mix-A-Lot's snake-based male genitalia metaphor, and recorded a suitably callipygian video to match. Now, Mix-A-Lot himself is speaking out, and – no surprise – he's honored by the results.
As the famously butt-loving rapper admitted on Twitter, he was so captivated by Minaj's music video that he watched it more than three dozen times. For the, uh, choreography, we're sure.
Ok after watching @NICKIMINAJ Anaconda 37times I only have one word to sum up my feelings. DAMNNNNN!!!!!! #AnacondaVideoOnVevo— Sir Mix-A-Lot (@therealmix) August 20, 2014
Of course, we should have expected this level of candor from Mix-A-Lot: As the rapper said himself, he cannot lie.
But not everyone is as enamored of Minaj's scandalous song, which she is expected to perform at the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday. The lyrics will likely be cleaned up or bleeped out – there are F-bombs and some uses of the N-word – and the Parents Television Council is attempting a preemptive strike on the live show.
The nonprofit watchdog group is asking MTV to label the live telecast with a TV-MA rating to reflect any sexually charged content in the vein of Miley Cyrus's raunchy performance last year.
"While last year's Miley Cyrus/Robin Thicke performance garnered most of the headlines after the fact, the sexually charged and otherwise inappropriate content of the show was not limited to them," PTC president Tim Winter said in a statement. "Even more troubling was the fact that MTV still applied a TV-14 rating to the program, despite other adult-oriented performances and advertising messages. Such a rating was simply unacceptable to the families who depend on the television ratings system to be applied accurately and to the millions of families whose children are marketed to by MTV. The 2013 VMAs were a public relations kerfuffle for your network that I feel certain you will not wish to repeat."

Choose any three by three square of dates on a calendar page.
Circle any number on the top row, put a line through the other
numbers that are in the same row and column as your circled number.
Repeat this for a number of your choice from the second row. You
should now have just one number left on the bottom row, circle it.
Find the total for the three numbers circled. Compare this total
with the number in the centre of the square. What do you find? Can
you explain why this happens?
Make a set of numbers that use all the digits from 1 to 9, once and

Beautiful Pen
By Lucia
from Los Angeles, CA
Comments about ACME Loggia Gates Rollerball:
I think this pen is just beautiful, nicer than the photo online. Beauty, however, doesn't make a pen one can write with daily. It is very, very heavy. This is the trend for more expensive pens as consumers seem to associate weight with quality, but heavy pens leave my hand (yours?) very tired and makes it difficult to allow the pen to do the work instead of my hand. So, like many beautiful things, this pen isn't practical for me. If I were a collector instead of a writer, I'd keep it on display but not use it.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Merchant response: Levenger is grateful for your feedback on our ACME Loggia Gates Rollerball . We apologize for the difficulty that you are experiencing. Your concerns have been forwarded to our quality assurance team for review. It is our sincere hope that you will allow us to make this situation right for you. If you would like to receive a replacement or a refund back to your original payment method, please contact our customer service center at 1-800-545-0242. We would be happy to send you a pre-paid FedEx label.

This pen is great. It holds and writes well. Compared with other pens, the cap stays on well when I'm writing (fit is not too loose).

quote: How is it that an intersection often doesn't get a traffic signal until there's an accident there? Because there are millions of intersections and it would be financially impossible to put signal at every one of them.
quote: By this analogy, the original 787 battery design, which had:3. Inadequate fire and smoke containment and venting
quote: As for the battery itself, two kinds of insulation were added: an electrical insulator and a thermal insulator, which will wrap around/below each battery cell to keep them away from each other and the battery case.
quote: To be fair, if you look at pics of the battery which caught fire, the battery is destroyed but the external case appears pristine. So apparently it had adequate fire and smoke containment (not so sure about the venting). In that respect there was no danger to the plane.
quote: The problem was the batteries weren't supposed to catch fire in the first place, but they had two incidents within the first few months of service. Which led to a reassessment of the fire risk, forcing a redesign which assumed a higher frequency of fire. So now they're adding things like isolating different cells from each other so a fire doesn't spread as easily between cells.

"If the community isn't willing to support us, we're done, unfortunately," said Debbie Lane, owner of the 21-year-old local business.
Since moving to its current location at the Westgate Shopping Center earlier this year, the bookstore has seen sales drop between 25 percent to 30 percent, Lane said.
"We've been down so much," Lane said. "We just need people to get in the store and shop."
Krista Strecker's 10th-grade English class at Truckee High School is helping that effort. As part of a class assignment, students are hosting a community rally on Saturday, Nov. 23, to encourage people to buy a book.
In conjunction, the class is also raising funds for the Bookshelf, with a $1,000 goal, according to its campaign website. As of Tuesday morning, $135 had been raised.
"These kids are pretty amazing," Lane said. "They're on it. They are right behind us."
One of those students is Joscelyne Jauregui, who uses the bookstore between two and three times a month.
"It's the only bookstore left (here)," she said. "Losing it would affect our education if we needed books."
Situated along Donner Pass Road near several schools, the store provides convenient access to books at a time when education officials are working to improve third-grade reading skills as part of Tahoe/Truckee being named an All-America City in 2012.
"We know we can go get our resources just right there, right down the road," said Erik Swalander, another Truckee High student involved the campaign to save the Bookshelf.
The bookstore is also launching its own campaign, with the goal of raising $30,000 between now and Jan. 16, 2014.
"We're asking people to help in a way which is appropriate for them," Lane said, whether that's donating, buying a book from the store or spreading the word.
On Saturday morning, part-time Truckee resident Sara Giordani and her three children were searching the literature-lined shelves of the children's section, picking out several books to purchase.
"These guys (the children) come in ... and they just pick out different books they maybe wouldn't have picked out if buying it online," she said. "It allows them to see all the different colors and shapes. It's the hands-on search of what book they want to read. To me that's huge."
Giordani touched on another factor contributing to the Bookshelf's woes: online-based retailers.
"They forget when they press that 'buy' button, all that money, whatever it is that they're spending, goes right out of their community," Lane said. "It does nothing to support staffing and people who have jobs here."
With a staff of five — not including Lane — the Bookshelf can provide individual assistance unlike online retailers, Strecker said.
"It can be a place ... for adults to find a non-threatening source of information about what they should read next without having to dive into the wormhole of Amazon (and) ultimately ending up with a book that is far from what he or she was looking for in the first place — a product of a over-generalization of mass marketing about what someone their age 'should like,'" she said. "Nonsense. (The) Bookshelf is a place that is like a custom tailored suit — it is irreplaceable because it is exactly fitted to an individual need with precision, expertise and grace."
Yet if sales don't pick up, the store will meet the same fate as the Tahoe City Bookshelf, which closed in March 2012.
"Down the road, we hope we have a future," Lane said.
"If the community isn't willing to support us, we're done, unfortunately."

Show #3854
Will Arnett, Trevor Noah, and Kurt Vile.
PLUS: Solar Flares; the New, Racier Star Trek film; the Sneezing Monkey: Allergy Edition; Star Trek Villains; Stooge of the Night; a Top Ten List; and a Phone Call from Chris Christie.
" . . . . and now, kitchen Rambo . . . . . . . David Letterman!"
- "Republicans have mentioned the possibility of impeaching Obama. Barack put a stop to that with these two words: 'President Biden.'"
Isn't that the job of a vice president . . . to make the President look better than the alternative?
- "OJ Simpson is looking for a retrial. He is hoping to be the first person to have a 'Trial of the Century' in two different centuries."
We're in a period of heightened solar activity. The sun has been ejecting some massive solar flares. We're not sure what to make of it. We have a live shot of the sun, filtered, so it won't harm your eyes. We take a look at the sun and its activity.
Graphic / lower left hand corner: COURTESTY OF NASA
The sun is yellow/orange hot. A flare shoots from the sun. The flare latches on to the "Courtesy of NASA" graphic and burns it to an ember. None of us ever saw that happen before. And probably the last time.
With the popularity of "Star Trek Into Darkness," there's already another sequel in the works. It seems a bit racier than the others. But that's what sells these days. We take a look at the new edgier and racier Star Trek film.
ANNOUNCE: "The Enterprise has traveled into darkness, and now comes the pulse-pounding sequel that takes you where no man has ventured in many years. "
We cut to "Star Trek Into Darkness" footage.
SULU: "If we're going to do this, we got to do this now!"
SPOCK: "We will not fit!"
CAPTAIN KIRK: "We'll fit! We'll fit!"
ANNOUNCE: "'Star Trek Into Martha Stewart."
Clip of Martha: "Get your buns ready."
What's old is new again. This has been one of the worst allergy seasons in recent memory. It's been particularly rough on Sherman, our sneezing monkey. We take a look.
We see the familiar shot of Sherman sitting in a chair. He sneezes, but this time his sneeze is looped accompanied by a Charlie Callas honk. I never knew allergies made your sneezes sound like Charlie Callas. Boy, what you learn . . . .
The new "Star Trek" filmed opened on Thursday so we thought we'd take a look at some of the greatest villains in the history of Star Trek.
ANNOUNCE: "The bloodthirsty Klingons" (shot of Klingons)
"The merciless Khan" (shot of Khan)
The dreaded Space Garfunkel." (shot of "The Way To Eden" villain from the Star Trek TV series.) The villain looked a little like Ray Davies of the Kinks.
Google "The Way To Eden" and "Star Trek" --- he looks like Ray Davies, right?
Hey, do you know what time it is? Of course you do. It's time for "Stooge of the Night."
Tonight's Stooge: Republican Senator John Hoeven of North Dakota.
DAVE: "North Dakota Senator John Hoeven voted 'NO' on gun reform legislation despite the fact that 94% . . . . that's right, 94% of voters in his state wanted background checks for gun buyers. 'Hi, I'm John Hoeven, why can't these goons make up their minds?' Nobody knows what that means.
It's John Hoeven, and he's our 'Stooge of the Night.'"
"Arrested Development" is back! The extremely popular "Arrested Development" is back on the NetFlix. Yes, it was loved by many . . . . except for FOX. It ran for 3 seasons to wonderful critical acclaim. Unfortunately, when something is described as receiving "critical acclaim," it usually means it didn't do too well commercially. I only saw one episode but even then, when I heard FOX was killing it I suggested that CBS should pick it up. It seemed to have a very loyal following that wasn't yet discovered by the masses. One problem may have been the timing of their big premiere: It was up against the Torino Olympics.
Dave asks Will if he still smokes. Dave is fascinated by smokers, being a former himself. Will says he quit earlier this year on January 2nd. Will muses that resolutions shouldn't start on New Year's Day. It should be delayed a day. Will started smoking at the age of 13, as did Dave. He picked up the habit because it made him look cool. That's probably why I didn't take up smoking. I never wanted to look cool because if you looked cool, you had to have some coolness in you. I would quickly be discovered as a poser. Not being cool and knowing you're not cool if fine. it's cool. Pretending to be cool but not being cool is not cool at all. Well, recently, Will realized he's been at the smoking for 30 years. He's now onto the cigarette gum. He admits a morning "gum and coffee isn't quite as satisfying."
Dave misses the smoking and all that goes with it. He sighs, "It's too bad it's bad for you."
"Arrested Development" – it's on the NetFlix beginning May 26th where you can see all 15 new episodes.
And Will also can be seen this fall on the new CBS show, "The Millers." Welcome to the CBS family, Will. You'll love it. The company provides free lunch on the show's anniversaries!
This is exciting! Or at least we pretend it is. On the phone is New Jersey Governor Chris Christie. (It is actually the Governor . . . though his lines are stolen from his recent appearance on the show.) Dave picks up the phone.
DAVE: "Governor, thanks for taking the time to speak with us."
GOVERNOR: "I love you, Dave."
DAVE: "Oh, thank you. I love you, too, Governor. So, I understand you've lost a little weight."
GOVERNOR: "You know, I have no idea."
DAVE: "Have you weighed yourself recently?"
GOVERNOR: "That's an enormous decision to make, and I just didn't feel ready."
DAVE: "What made you finally do this? Did family and friends try to convince you to have the surgery?"
GOVERNOR: "Sure. You have people like Henry Kissinger coming to see you and saying, 'I think you need to do this for your country.'"
DAVE: "Wow. So have you had to cut back on foods that you love?"
GOVERNOR: "More than a little."
DAVE: "Is that difficult? What did you have for dinner tonight, for example?"
GOVERNOR: "Dairy Queen."
DAVE: "And what about lunch?"
GOVERNOR: "Hot dogs."
DAVE: "Are you still supposed to eat that kind of food?"
GOVERNOR: "I don't spend a lot of time thinking about it, because in my heart I knew what I did was right."
DAVE: "Well, thank you very much again for your time. Is there anything else you'd like to say?"
GOVERNOR: "I'm huggable and lovable, David."
DAVE: "I'm sorry, what was that?"
The Governor hangs up.
If you listen closely, you can hear the stretching of a lap band.
Going into commercial: Backstage Photo Club – Supervising Editor Mark Spada
ANNOUNCE: "You'll want to join us again Monday for Dave and his guests Will Smith, and The National. Fun Fact! At the height of Mark Twain's popularity, 71% of American baby boys were named 'Huckleberry.'
Keep watching."
The very funny young comedian from South Africa has an off-Broadway show, "Born A Crime," on Wednesdays and Saturdays at 45 Bleeker here in New York City. He doesn't speak Spanish!
Trevor seems like a very nice, happy guy. He's new to New York City. I imagine New York will fix that.
From his new album, "Wakin On A Daze," Kurt Vile performed "Walkin' On A Pretty Day."
And that was our show for Friday May 17, 2013.
Does the NetFlix read the Wahoo Gazette?
"Arrested Development" - From the April 25, 2005 Wahoo Gazette – eight years ago.
"AMATEUR PROGRAMMER: I'm no network programmer but I like to play one in the Wahoo, so if I were in charge here at CBS and FOX decided they were done with 'Arrested Development,' I would grab it up in a split sec. I admit I've never seen the show but I like the commercials, the buzz is always great, and if my wife didn't hog the
TV Sunday night for 'Desperate Housewives,' I would likely be a big fan."
And since I'm copying and pasting old Wahoos, let's try this:
"Kurt Vile: Where Have I Heard That Name Before?"
In November of last year, Julianna Margulies was a guest on the show. She told a story about a popular German singer during Hitler's time, Max Raabe. Dave was unfamiliar with Max Raabe. Dave then asked Julianna if she was familiar with singer Kurt Vile. She was not. I wasn't familiar either, so I Googled Kurt Vile. I found in the Wikipedia that Kurt Vile was born in 1980 and is an American musician, best known for his solo material and as a founding member of indie rock band The War on Drugs. It didn't make sense to me why Dave would mention Kurt Vile. I guessed since Julianna mentioned a singer which Dave was unfamiliar, Dave would mention a singer that she would be unfamiliar. And then I found out that Dave wasn't referring to Kurt Vile, but Kurt Weill. Not Kurt Vile . . . . Kurt Weill.
From the Wiki, I found that Kurt Weill was born in 1900. He was a German composer active in the 1920s and on. He developed "The Threepenny Opera" which included the ballad "Mack The Knife."
We couldn't get Kurt Weill on the show, but we did get Kurt Vile, first mentioned in the Wahoo Gazette on November 13, 2012.
Could a mere mention in the Wahoo Gazette get a music act on the show? Well, let's see. Let's try this: Tad Lathrop.
Looking for something more entertaining than the Wahoo Gazette? If in the San Francisco area, check out "Prelude to a Kiss" at The Custom Made Theater Company starring former "Jeopardy" champion Dave Sikula.
It's their anniversary! From Hillcrest, New York, congratulations to Gary and Eileen Wren.
This concludes another installment of CAMEO MENTION OF A WAHOO READER

What if the Master met Devros?
This is a meeting I would love to see. Not sure if it might have happened somewhere and I missed it but it would make for a grate episode or string of episodes where the Master and Devros join forces, or at least meet and develop a plot in which they are intertwined.

Muscle atrophy is the wasting or loss of muscle tissue.
Muscle wasting; Wasting; Atrophy of the muscles
There are two types of muscle atrophy.
Examples of diseases affecting the nerves that control muscles:
Although people can adapt to muscle atrophy, even minor muscle atrophy usually causes some loss of movement or strength.
Some muscle atrophy occurs normally with aging. Other causes may include:
An exercise program (under the direction of a therapist or doctor) is recommended to help treat muscle atrophy. This may include exercises in water to reduce the muscle workload, and other types of rehabilitation.
People who cannot actively move one or more joints can do exercises using braces or splints.
Call your doctor for an appointment if you have unexplained or long-term muscle loss. You can often see this when you compare one hand, arm, or leg to the other.
The health care provider will perform a physical examination and ask questions about your medical history and symptoms, including:
The doctor will look at your arms and legs and measure muscle size to try to determine which nerve or nerves are affected.
Tests that may be performed include:
Treatment may include physical therapy,

The gateway to Italy, the village of Bourg-St-Pierre is bursting with history and charm, from its ancient buildings to its newly restored mill and the legacies left by former travellers. History and legend sit side by side within its walls, recalling the bygone eras of Hannibal, the troops of the Roman Empire, those of Napoleon, the passage of millions of pilgrims, travellers, traders... the whole world has travelled the St. Bernard's Pass. The village today retains these fragments of history and continues to extend a warm welcome to all its visitors.
In addition to the wide range of hiking options, Bourg-St-Pierre offers the possibility to try out a sport unique to Switzerland – rap jumping – which entails taking an airborne glide down the side of the Toules dam in a delta wing harness. You can also enjoy mountain biking, canyoning, rock climbing and numerous other activities.
The Via Francigena is a cultural route and ancient pilgrimage path to Rome. It was made famous by Archbishop Sigéric who kept a detailed record of his journey along this road. Today it is popular for a different kind of trek. The hospice, higher up on the Grand Saint Bernard Pass, is both a monument and a place of welcome and comfort. Over a thousand years ago, Saint Bernard of Menthon prepared the way for what was to become an imposing building of great importance to many travellers. Succour and comfort were the first duties of the canons for centuries and they were aided by the famous Saint Bernard dogs, which contributed to the renown and status of the hospice. Barry was the most famous of the dogs, having saved the lives of numerous people, but they all fulfilled their duties on a daily basis, clearing the paths for the canons and the guides, in all weathers and all conditions.
The hospice today has evolved, and the route and the Saint Bernard tunnel have changed the conditions of passage for travellers. Nevertheless, the canons of Saint Bernard continue their tradition of aid and comfort for walkers, pilgrims and those seeking spiritual support. Must see visits: the museum, treasure house and kennels (when the Pass is open – June to October).
A small, high-altitude resort, its main attraction is a magnificent route over Italy, offering a truly amazing day's walking. A snow garden and ski school complete the offer. A fantastic location for winter walking (with a guide), the Pass and its environs will not fail to enchant visitors. And make sure you take the opportunity to spend the night at the legendary hospice. Snowshoe trails starting from the centre of the village offer completely safe trekking in the heart of local nature. The regional network is the largest in Switzerland.

Budapest on the Bluff: Dominantly DohnanyiAt 17, Dohnányi was championed by Johannes Brahms, but his tuneful, brilliant and heart-on-sleeve Romanticism was soon considered old-fashioned. However, today's audiences appreciate Dohnányi's sincerity, skill and emotionalism. The PSO's Gretchen Van Hoesen will be featured in his Harp Concertino. Bartók's Contrasts were commissioned by jazz clarinetist Benny Goodman. Its finale is a "Hungarian hoe-down," complete with a deliberately mistuned violin.11/26/2012Time: 3:00 pmPNC Recital Hall, School of Music, Duquesne University, Pittsburgh, PAwebsite | map

Angels in America, Part 1: Millennium ApproachesJed Allen Harris directs Tony Kushner's Angels in America, a Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award winning masterpiece that confronts the political and social failures surrounding the HIV/AIDS epidemic in 1980s New York City. This epic story transcends the political moment by using humor, the supernatural and heartbreaking realism; wrestling with universal themes of love, loss and responsibility. As relevant today as 20 years ago, the play fights against fear and bigotry with compassion and startling theatricality.11/29/2012 - 12/08/2012Location: Chosky Theater, Purnell Center, CMU, Pittsburgh, PAwebsite

Medical schools have various levels of selectivity (some are harder to get into than others), and both the quality of their clinical training and level of research are measured. Additional medical training in both residency and fellowships and the facilities they are conducted at also provide a history of the doctors' level of training and experience.
