Your sunrise summary of everything you need to know about weather in H-town.
After a few cooler days temperatures are going back up today under mostly sunny skies.
Here comes the sun.
As high pressure builds over Texas for the second half of this week our temperatures are going back up into the upper 90s.
Some lingering moisture from the tropical wave that moved through Houston earlier this week could allow for some very scattered showers, like those that developed yesterday over west Houston, but generally the region is going to be dry, say forecasters with the Houston/Galveston office of the National Weather Service.
Looking ahead at the 10-day forecast from models, this pattern looks set to hold, more or less, for at least the next 10 days.
Which means summer is not going away any time soon.
It appears as though the next couple of tropical waves that move off Africa will find conditions favorable for development, and we're likely to see the Atlantic season's first hurricane. However there is no indication that any of the systems that form coming off Africa during the next couple of weeks will track toward the United States.
It is late August
A time when fall is so close
yet so far away
The lowest temperature ever recorded in August, in Houston, was 54 degrees back in 1891. Can you imagine?

I have been struggling with just what it is I've been feeling about the upcoming Christmas. Why is it so hard for me to "get in the Christmas spirit" this season, more than before? I think I've been mistaking this so-called "Christmas spirit" for decorating and shopping and wrapping presents and consuming and wanting and that's just not what I am about right now. And that's not what Christmas is about either.
I read a post recently by one of my favorite bloggers- Sara at Walk Slowly, Live Wildly, and it really spoke to me. A Strange Dimness. I can relate to this. I feel a strange dimness over the traditional worldly things for this holiday season, and life in general. How much time and worry we put into presents and decorations and is this toy made in China? and what we'll wear to a holiday party that only lasts two hours. I am guilty of this, yes! But I don't want to continue to be this way. Honestly... do those things really matter or even last longer than a few hours or mortal days and weeks?
I am not sure how much longer I can stomach all the excess of things and want for more things and the bigger and better and newer and so on and so on. More. More. More. On the outside we have everything or are talking about how someday we'll have everything. When inside us we are empty. It will never fill us up.
And I don't mean to sound like a Scrooge, because I still enjoy giving and receiving gifts and celebrating the holiday and listening to Christmas carols, and all that good stuff. But, I have moved my focus from temporary things and am fixing it on the forever things, and this now changes my view of pretty much everything. I want my main focus to be the things that last and the things that mean something. It would be wrong of me to go on blogging every day without telling you what's really behind my words and in my heart. And of course I am just growing here- taking baby steps. Baby steps hopefully in the right direction.
So evidently, in truth, I am longing for the real Christmas spirit, wanting to put the spotlight on the birth of Jesus, His only purpose to save this world. And oh, does this world need saving...

Teachers get a lesson in survival

COLUMBIANA — County educators spent time in the classroom on Saturday, but this time they were the students....
Ultimately, DeWine said the decision would rest on each school district's board of education.
That is why every effort being taken to protect these children will be for naught!

Radiologist Dr. John McGue serves as the lead interpreting physician for the Trident Breast Care Center, which offers comprehensive services including mammograms, breast ultrasound, MRI and minimally invasive biopsies. "We are very experienced, and that's at every level of the team," says Dr. McGue. While the center has a busy schedule of activities during Breast Cancer Awareness Month, its work to support women's health continues year-round. Recently, the center expanded and underwent extensive renovations to offer more privacy and a sense of serenity for visitors. The staff is also careful to treat each woman as an individual. For Dr. McGue, that means delivering news with honesty while also trying to alleviate fears and anxiety. "Cancer is an emotional disease, and my role and the role of our team at the Trident Breast Care Center is to do our job right and to do it in a compassionate way."

But the bride's youngest sister, Khloé, took an unexpected detour right to the drinks.
"The night before at Versailles, Khloé drank a little too much. I had to wake her up and she was laying down sleeping [while] getting her makeup done for the wedding," Kardashian, who wed West in May, said Monday on Jimmy Kimmel Live!
"I'm just praying that she'll get up in time to walk down the aisle ... they had to do [her makeup] while she was sleeping because she was so hungover."
But, despite everyone's partying a little "too much" during the rehearsal dinner in Paris, the no-shows and having the surprise dual country wedding plans leaked, Kardashian says the magical affair was unforgettable.
"We fell in love in Paris and then I got pregnant with our daughter in Florence, so we wanted to share our love story with all of our friends and family," she said. "I think everyone just really had an amazing time."
With Kimmel joking about rumors that West delivered a 45-minute toast to himself, Kardashian played along – clarifying it was "about 20 minutes" – before explaining the speech. "We had this long table that everyone was eating at [during] the wedding and, instead of having place cards, we engraved everyone's name in this marble table," she said.
"He was explaining to everyone that we engraved their names because everyone is engraved in our hearts."
But not everyone whose name made it on the marble display was on hand to hear West's metaphorical explanation – causing the couple to scramble.
"The worst was someone canceling last minute and not telling us and their names are engraved," Kardashian, who stayed mum on the identity of the no-shows, said. "We tried to put white paint and cover the names."
But it was the newlywed's wedding gifts that needed name tags.
"We live with my mom still, and our trainer sent us a piece of workout equipment. My mom thinks that it was for her and she's been raving about this piece of equipment that got delivered for her," Kardashian said.
"She emailed the trainer, asking if it's from him ... and the trainer emailed me and was like, 'What do I say? Because she thinks it's for her!' "
The reality star joked, "I think I'll give that to her for rent for staying at the house."

Quintessentially English, with a Bermudian twist. Many love the quiet, calm sophistication of Bermuda, which provides an enchanting contrast to the exuberant nature of the colourful Caribbean.
Bermuda is a 21-mile string of 138 coral islands, less than two miles wide. This collection of tiny, picturesque islands is compact and easy to get around - even by bicycle. At first glance, you'll notice that Britain's oldest colony has a distinctly English feel with traditional bobbies, sophisticated afternoon tea, iconic red telephone boxes and even areas named after Devonshire, Warwick and Southampton. But this captivating destination definitely has its own personality, with lots of wonderful things to offer. From the hidden treasures of St George, with its meandering lanes and pretty pastel houses to the vibrancy of Hamilton, the capital and thriving business epicentre. Absorb the natural beauty of Bermuda – lounge on the beautiful beaches, visit picturesque Spittal Pond Nature Reserve or embark on adventurous outdoor pursuits like kayaking and helmet diving.

St George is a historic, UNESCO World Heritage Site that symbolises where Bermuda began. The oldest surviving town in the 'new world', this well-preserved World Heritage Site still retains its 1800's feel, with crooked cobbled streets and white roofed, pastel-coloured houses that will transport you to times past. Admire the visible history and interesting architecture of this colonial town and embrace the simple way of life. Shop in King's Square, at the centre of St George or explore the historic port.
Fun and vibrant, Hamilton is thought of as the thriving centre of Bermuda. Despite being the capital and a bustling financial hub, it still retains a slower pace and unique vibe – don't be surprised to see businessmen sporting jackets and ties with a pair of shorts. Hamilton is packed with historic buildings, churches, shops, galleries, parks and gardens. Everything is easily accessible by ferries, local buses and even bicycle. Dine in high-end restaurants or sample the extensive nightlife.
The Royal Naval Dockyard was once the biggest naval facility outside of the United Kingdom. Steeped in history, all of Bermuda's forts built in the 1800s were strategically placed to protect it. A great place for shopping and dining, this area is just a short ferry or taxi ride from anywhere on the island. It is also home to Dolphin Quest, an exhilarating, interactive experience where you can swim with dolphins within the walls of an old stone fortress.

The Altoona International Jewish Film Festival will begin its 14th year of sharing the Jewish faith Thursday with its first of four movies.
The movies will be shown on Thursday evenings through March 14 at the Penn State Altoona Devorris Downtown Center in Altoona. A dinner, not included with the price of the movie, is held beforehand at the Heritage Discovery Center, located next door.
When planning for the annual event, the film festival committee is thinking more than one year ahead, said Bill Wallen, festival coordinator and executive director of the Greater Altoona Jewish Federation.

Helen Mirren stars in the 2011 thriller "The Debt," which will be shown Thursday at the Penn?State Altoona Downtown Devorris Center.
"The Jazz Singer," starring Laurence Olivier (left) and Neil?Diamond, will be shown on March 14.
The committee tries to strike a balance to both educate and entertain, offering selections of documentaries and films, made internationally and in the United States and between classics and newer films, Wallen said.
The festival, which is a partnership between Penn State Altoona, The Southern Alleghenies Museum of Art and The Greater Altoona Jewish Federation, started as a way to offer the Altoona area culturally stimulating activities during the winter, Wallen said.
Fifty percent of the film audiences are not Jewish, he said. People come from as far away as Cresson, State College and Huntingdon to enjoy the festival that offers opportunities to educate people about the Jewish faith, including its values, and the artistry of Jewish filmmakers, he said.
Fact Box
If you go
What: The 14th annual Altoona International Jewish Film Festival
When: 7:30 p.m. Thursday and running each Thursday through March 14.
Where: Penn State Altoona's Devorris Downtown Center, downtown Altoona
Tickets: $5 per film for adults, $20 for series. Free for students.
Details: A dinner will be served from 5:30 to 7:15 p.m. at the Heritage Discovery Center, located next to the theater. The dinners include wine, appetizers, dinner and dessert by Catered Affairs - Paula & Dave Binus. Price is $15 per dinner. Reservations are required. Reserve tickets by calling 515-1182 or by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com.
"We try to think of the audience that come to our movies and what would appeal to them," Wallen said. "The audiences have grown, and we've added in the dinners, which are popular. We've built up a following, and people look forward to it each year from the Jewish and the general community."
Committee Chair Dr. Len Zimmerman also said the support comes from all over, but wishes they had more success with their efforts to get students interested, though.
The first movie in the series on opening night is the 2011, 114-minute thriller "The Debt," starring Helen Mirren.
In the movie, which was made in the United States, Mirren plays one of three retired Mossad secret agents whose mission it was to track down Nazi war criminal Dieter Vogel in East Berlin.
The original version was made in Israel and was spoken in Hebrew, Zimmerman said. He saw both films, and the American version stays true to the original.
On Feb. 28, the movie selection is the 2012, 87-minute documentary "Follow Me: The Yoni Netanyahu Story," which was made in the United States and Israel,
The documentary follows two story arcs - the Entebbe hijack and rescue and the life story of soldier Jonathan Netanyahu, the brother of Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
On March 7, the movie is the 2012, 90-minute documentary "Nicky's Family," made in the Czech Republic. The story is about Nicholas Winton, an Englishman who organized the rescue of 669 Czech and Slovak children before World War II. Winton, who was 102 years old at the time of the documentary, did not speak about these events until his wife found a suitcase in the attic containing documents and transport plans 50 years later.
The documentary is "fascinating," Zimmerman said, noting the story of what Winton did came to light in recent years.
Wallen said there is a movement to get Winton nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize, and a petition will get circulated at the film.
"It isn't just what he did for the children back in the Holocaust. It's the inspiration that he's provided for a whole new generation to reach out and help others," he said.
On March 14, the final film in the series is the 1980 United States-made movie, "The Jazz Singer," starring Neil Diamond and Laurence Olivier.
The 115-minute film tells the story of a fifth-generation cantor, played by Diamond, who wants to break family tradition and make a career in popular music.

The death of a pet is difficult enough to bear; in some cases, the whereabouts or cause of death of the pet is unknown. The pet may have run away or been stolen, or, the owner may have needed to surrender the pet to a humane shelter. In these situations, there is seldom any 'closure.' The owner does not know when or if the pet has died, or if lost, whether the pet will ever come back. As a result, when to stop searching and when to start the grieving process are unsure. There may also be additional guilt associated with this type of loss.
Doing something positive during this time of sadness may help the grieving process by celebrating the life of the pet. Activities which may help include:
Should I get another pet?
When or if you should get another pet varies with the individual and the choice is a personal one. Some people may want to find a new pet almost immediately. Sometimes, they may have unrealistic expectations of the new pet, especially if they are getting a young, rambunctious animal after an older, mature one has died. Others need longer to work through their grief before they are physically and emotionally ready for another pet. In either case, we all know you are not replacing your pet, but finding another animal with whom you can share life. Some people may find it is just not possible for them to have another pet. You need to do what is right for you.
In general, you should give children some time before getting another pet. Getting a pet too soon may cause the child to feel guilty or disloyal, and they may have difficulty bonding to the new pet. The child may also think that if something happened to them, they would soon be forgotten and a substitute would be found. They need to understand that friendships cannot immediately be replaced.
People who have a pet who has died need to talk to someone. Often, family members and friends are very supportive, but in some instances, they may not understand how important your pet was to you. It is important to find someone who does understand.

For the first time, too, the Caped Crusader will join forces with Superman, again to be played by British actor Henry Cavill, 31, in the as-yet-untitled movie to be directed by Man of Steel's Zack Snyder.
The mash-up will begin production next year and be released July 17, 2015, reports EW.com. Man of Steel stars Amy Adams (as Lois Lane), Laurence Fishburne (Perry White) and Diane Lane (Martha Kent) have also been announced to return.
"We knew we needed an extraordinary actor to take on one of DC Comics' most enduringly popular super heroes, and Ben Affleck certainly fits that bill and then some," Warner Bros. president Greg Silverman said in a statement.
Director Snyder said about the 41-year-old leading man (and director of this year's Best Picture Oscar Winner, Argo), "Ben provides an interesting counterbalance to Henry's Superman. He has the acting chops to create a layered portrayal of a man who is older and wiser than Clark Kent and bears the scars of a seasoned crime fighter, but retain the charm that the world sees in billionaire Bruce Wayne."
Warner Bros.
FYI, the New York Post reports that Dark Knight trilogy Batman, Christian Bale, turned down $50 million to put the mask back on.
As the Hollywood Reporter noted, Jobs actor Josh Gad called the Affleck casting decision "genius!" Tweeted veteran leading man Richard Dreyfus, kiddingly: "You read for a part, you feel good about it, you feel confident, then they cast Ben Affleck."
Among other comments, British actor Robert Kazinsky opined that Matt Damon should play the Joker, and movie critic Stephen Whitty suggested former Affleck partner and Gigli costar Jennifer Lopez claw the movie to shreds as Catwoman ("torpedo the whole thing" were his words).
But what do you have to say? Affleck as Batman, what do you think? Please tell us in the comments below. And, while you're at it, who should play Robin?
Go for it.

Mary L. Brasch, a former mental hygiene therapy aide, died June 7 in Absolut at Orchard Park after a short illness. She was 97.
Born Mary L. Core in St. Clair, Pa., she moved to Western New York in 1918 and was a graduate of Lackawanna High School.
Mrs. Brasch was employed for nearly two decades as a mental hygiene therapy aide at West Seneca Developmental Center. She raised four sons and a daughter.
In retirement, she was an avid bowler and bowled regularly at Abbott Lanes until she was in her 90s. She also enjoyed gardening and canning, and she played pinochle at Valley Community Center.
Her husband of more than 30 years, Albert C. Brasch, died in 1966.
Survivors include two sons, Norman and Ray, and a daughter, Theresa Giancaterino.
A Mass of Christian Burial was offered June 10 in St. Anthony Catholic Church, Lackawanna.

to shoot someone with a handgund turned to the side
nigga back off or im a cap yo ass wit a rusty nine!
af Nick The Hobo 7. marts 2004
Originally, a kneecap. The phrase "bust a cap" originated in Northern Ireland several years before entering urban gangsta culture, and referred to the nonlethal (but fantastically painful and disabling) practice of firing a firearm at close range into the crook of the knee. The practice served, and in some areas continues to serve, primarily as an intimidation tactic, and the victim becomes a hobbling reminder of what happens to "the enemy."
I told him I'd bust a cap in his ass, but it turns out he didn't have an asscap after all, so I let him go.

Patriot Water Treatment LLC has a hearing today in Columbus before the Environmental Review Appeals Commission - the next step in the company's fight to resume sending treated brine water to Warren.
At issue is the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency's issuance of new permits to the Warren Water Pollution Control Department and to Patriot that banned Warren from accepting treated brine water from Patriot, effective April 1. On that date Patriot owner and president Andrew Blocksom issued two-week notices to all 25 employees. The two weeks were up on April 14.
The water, which is a byproduct of oil and gas drilling, was Patriot's sole product and the reason the Warren company opened.
In March, ERAC ruled that OEPA Director Scott Nally did not have legal standing to revoke Patriot and Warren's original permits. Patriot's attorney, April Bott of Dublin, said Nally interpreted that ruling "differently."
Nally, rather than revoking the old permits, issued new permits in their place that included prohibitive language, a play Bott called "semantics."
Bott said OEPA is attempting to justify its decisions by interpreting parts of Ohio Revised Code that apply to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, not the OEPA.
She said Nally is citing a section of the Ohio Administrative Code that allows his agency to look at businesses' compliance with all applicable laws, and through that has argued that Warren is in violation by accepting Patriot's water. However, Bott claims ODNR has never found Warren or Patriot in violation of that code.
Furthermore, said Bott, OEPA employees have already testified in depositions that their agency cannot interpret laws relative to another agency when considering a permit.
ERAC will determine, among other matters, whether Nally had standing to issue the new permits that essentially put Patriot out of business.
OEPA spokesman Mike Settles has said that the new permit issued to Patriot does not ban them from treating brine, but would require them to find a different approved use for it other than sending it to Warren.
Blocksom has said such a change would require an additional investment of millions of dollars as his system is designed specifically for treating the brine. He said he would also have to retrain his workers at the company's expense, investments he says he is unwilling to make based on a permit that could be revoked again.
Bott said the hearing will take three days, after which the ruling could take months. However, she said the company is requesting an expedited ruling in the interest of returning its employees to work.
"There are 25 families without jobs because of this, and I think it's criminal if we lose track of that," she said.

L. Brook Rare Books
I've been a dealer in rare books and art for over 30 years. I spent my early years training and providing animals for films, stage and TV. It was great fun, and evolved into a love for finding rare books and art, with a bias towards things "dog, horse and cat." I look for rarity, condition, and price when deciding which items to offer for sale. Uniqueness and value are what will drive my site—and although my love of animals is obvious, I strive to offer items that are diverse and exciting.

What Is Gout?
What Is Gout?
Gout is a disease that affects the joints. Left untreated, it can lead to painful foot deformity and even kidney problems. The good news is that by treating gout early, you can relieve pain and help prevent future problems. Gout can usually be treated with medication and proper diet. In severe cases, surgery may be needed.
What Causes Gout?
Gout is caused by an excess of uric acid (a waste product made by the body). The uric acid forms crystals that collect in the joints, bringing on a gout attack. If you have many gout attacks, crystals may form large deposits called tophi. Tophi can damage joints and cause deformity.
Who Is at Risk for Gout?
Men are more likely to have gout than women. But women can also be affected, mostly after menopause. Some health problems, such as obesity and high cholesterol, make gout more likely. And some medications, such as diuretics ("water pills"), can trigger a gout attack. People who drink a lot of alcohol are at high risk for gout. Certain foods can also trigger a gout attack.
Foods That Trigger a Gout Attack
To help prevent a gout attack, avoid these foods:
Alcohol (beer, red wine)
Certain meats (red meat, processed meat, turkey)
Organ meats (kidney, liver, sweetbread)
Shellfish (lobster, crab, shrimp, scallop, mussel)
Certain fish (anchovy, sardine, herring, mackerel)

SPARTANBURG, S.C. – The Stetson women's tennis team opened up Atlantic Sun Conference play with a 5-2 road win over USC Upstate on Friday. The victory marked the 10th in a row for the Hatters, setting a new program record for consecutive wins.
"It is great to have that first conference win under our belt," Stetson Director of Tennis Pierre Pilote said. "I think we all felt that we could have played better, but it was still a good team performance.
"I told our team that anytime you place yourself in the Stetson Women's Tennis record book, it's a significant achievement," continued Pilote. "To be first in any category is fantastic and they should be proud."
Stetson, which hasn't lost since the season opener at no. 24 Florida State, began things on Friday the same way each of the 10 wins during the streak started. The Hatters won the doubles point.
Senior Diana Bukajeva, the reigning A-Sun Player of the Week, joined with freshman Isabella Fernandez to win 8-1 at number one doubles. Senior Lindsey Cable and sophomore Eveline Lepinay then won 8-2 at number three to secure the first point of the match for the Hatters.
USC Upstate won 6-1, 6-2 at number one singles to tie the match up, but Stetson freshman Carolina Meregalli won 6-0, 6-1 at the number six position to give the lead back to the Hatters at 2-1.
Sophomore Cari Berry and senior MayaBlue Stauffer-MacDowell won at number five and number four to clinch the match for Stetson. Berry won 6-0, 6-3, while Stauffer-MacDowell was victorious 6-4, 6-3.
Stetson added a 6-2, 6-2 win by Fernandez at number two, before the Spartans won 6-0, 0-6, 6-4 at number two to make the final score 5-2 in favor of the Hatters.
"We will enjoy this win for just a few hours and then place our full attention on tomorrow's match at ETSU," Pilote said.
Stetson will challenge last year's A-Sun Runner-up Buccaneers Saturday at 10:00 a.m. from Johnson City.

Sure, its Oscar season. But the Oscars are the ghosts of Movies Past last years movies, yesterdays news.
Its 2013. What do THIS years movies hold in store for us?
Weve got remakes of Evil Dead, Old Boy and Carrie, reboots of Superman (Man of Steel) and Mr. Patriot Games (Jack Ryan).
There are, of course, sequels galore, from Iron Man 3, Star Trek Into Darkness and Sin City: A Dame to Kill For to Monsters University, A Good Day to Die Hard, Fast & Furious 6, G.I. Joe: Retaliation, RED 2, 300: Rise of an Empire to The Best Man 2, Thor : The Dark World and shudder Anchorman: The Legend Continues.
Will the second Hunger Games (Catching Fire, Nov. 22) improve on the first one? Will The Desolation of Smaug (Dec. 13) be a shorter, quicker Hobbit than the first one?
Is Enders Game (Nov. 1) the next Hunger Games?
Does Tom Hanks (Captain Phillips the one about the Maersk Alabama hijacking, Oct. 11) still have box office clout? Does The Hangover (Hangover III) still have legs?
Just from scanning the hundreds of titles slated to head our way this year, its obvious that may be more of a guys year at the movies than usual even with a Hunger Games sequel. But there are plenty of pictures with intriguing combinations of story, cast, director and place within the zeitgeist to give us hope. Here are 10 of them:
Oz the Great and Powerful (March 8) is Disneys prequel to The Wizard of Oz, how the Midwestern magician landed in Oz and became a wonderful wizard. This could be this years John Carter, or it could be the film every child is dying to see over spring break.
The Heat (April 5) will be the second Melissa McCarthy comedy (after Identity Thief, Feb. 8). Is there such a thing as too much Melissa? Sandra Bullock spent WAY too much time after winning her Oscar to get back into the swing of things. A buddy comedy will be her first project in theaters this year, with the sci-fi epic Gravity awaiting a release date.
Pain & Gain (April 26) pairs up Mark Wahlberg and Dwayne Johnson as musclehead ex-cons, a couple of dopes, who stumble into crime. Nobody does buddy pictures like Wahlberg, and the trailers are a hoot.
Star Trek Into Darkness (May 17) appears to be a J.J. Abrams re-engineering of the The Wrath of Khan and the original Khan episode of the first Star Trek series. Hes got Benedict Cumberbatch as his villain and a rumor of a Wrath of Khan-style death of a principal character. Curious to see how he pulls this off, because you know he will.
Man of Steel (June 14) has a star (Henry Cavill) who has had a few shots at box office success, and a director (Zack Snyder of 300 and Sucker Punch) who could use a hit. So there are doubts. But the first trailer brought Superman film and comic book fans to tears. This could be special.
World War Z (June 21) promises to be the ultimate zombie picture. With zombies all over TV, and over-exposed by Warm Bodies (Feb. 1), this delayed Brad Pitt vehicle has its work cut out for it.
Pacific Rim (July 12) looks like Godzilla meets Transformers. But its from fanboy favorite Guillermo del Toro, and is the big budget sci-fi movie he chose to do instead of hanging out with The Hobbit for years. So well see.
White House Down (June 28) has Channing Tatum as a Secret Service agent fighting his way through 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. after paramilitary terrorists take over the place and seize the president.
Rush (Sept. 20) is Ron Howards take on an epic era in Formula One racing, the Niki Lauda/James Hunt duel on the worlds fastest, most dangerous race tracks back in the 1970s.
The Secret Life of Walter Mitty (Dec. 25) was a famous James Thurber story about a man who lets his imagination run wild, contributing to his arrested development. Men acting like children was unusual in the 1940s. Can Ben Stiller & Co. spin this funny, if dated, concept into comic gold?

Faces of Food Safety: Joseph Woltz III
Ask Joseph Woltz III what is the most rewarding part of his career, and his answer is simple and matter of fact: "What could be more rewarding than a career where your daily grind is protecting people from foodborne illnesses?"
Woltz's "daily grind" is a lot different than the one he originally planned. When he was young, he said he always thought he would become a teacher. But instead of going into education, he took up the "family" business: the Food Safety and Inspection Service. Woltz is a Compliance Investigator. In this capacity, he conducts and takes part in surveillance and enforcement activities and performs other investigative duties to protect the nation's meat, poultry and processed egg supply from his base in Chicago, Ill. At FSIS, he joined his father, who works as an inspector in Buffalo, N.Y., along with his brother, Mark, a Consumer Safety Inspector (CSI). Another brother, Joshua, works as a CSI in Cleveland, Ohio.
"Holidays are a lot of fun for us," said Woltz. "We all get together and talk about work." His father, who has worked for FSIS for 39 years, has never grown tired of his job, and although miles and a time zone separate the father and son, Woltz said he relies on the senior Woltz's wisdom and expertise. "My father knows policies and he has seen almost everything. When I have a question about an investigation or I have a problem, I call him first."
Chocolate-covered bacon
And while Woltz has been able to take advantage of his father's experience and wisdom, there is one thing that even his father had never heard of: chocolate-covered bacon. One of Woltz's encounters on the job, he said, was an investigation that revealed that the bacon included in a product should have been USDA inspected. "It all started while I was reading the Sunday paper and saw an advertisement for chocolate-covered bacon," said Woltz, who first thought the candy crunch bar was bacon-flavored. "I bought a 3 oz. bar and realized that it was real bacon. After initiating an investigation, the portion of the facility that produced the bacon bar suspended production while FSIS further investigated. It was later determined that inspection was required and the company came under compliance."
"What could be more rewarding than a career where your daily grind is protecting people from foodborne illnesses?"
Joseph Woltz III
Whether it is investigating chocolate-covered bacon or making sure other products are safe and wholesome as they enter commerce, Woltz said there is "never a dull moment" on the job and his job always makes for lively discussions around the dinner table.
"I love this job and I get so excited about what I do. You should ask my wife. She would tell you that I can't stop talking about my job because I love what I do."
So, what's next for Woltz, who said he has aspirations of working in Washington, D.C.? "I couldn't be happier. Right now, my focus is on my current duties and how I can better serve the American people."

"The Adams River salmon run is the best best salmon run in BC!"
Every year in October, just around Thanksgiving the salmon come back to Adams River. Every four years there's a huge run and that is a signt and something to see for everyone! The river turns red with salmon as they struggle to spawn near the mouth.
You can walk along a self guided path and climbe down onto the river banks to see the salmon. There is information oN display explaining the run. The salmon come up the Fraser River, turn into the Thompson River and then split into the South Thompson at Kamloops, and then into Little Shuswap Lake, Little River, and then into Shuswap Lake and to the mouth of the Adams. It is an incredible journey and when they arrive they have lost their silver sheen and turned almost scarlet. It is easy to get there off the Trans Canada just past Chase.
The Quaaout lodge is located just within minutes from the Adams River where the salmon action is happening and provides a most comfortable place close to nature to stay and rest at while being in the Shuswap area for the salmon run.

A truck struck a toll booth in Hampton Monday night.
At around 10 p.m., the truck hit the South 2 booth at the Hampton side ramp plaza, which takes vehicles from Interstate 95 to NH-101.
The booth sat in a dedicated E-ZPass lane, so there was no attendant in the booth. No injuries were reported.
Transportation officials said the truck had a hydraulic lift stabilizer sticking out from the back of the driver's side and caused heavy damage to the booth.
The lane could be closed for at least 2-3 days, according to Bill Boynton of the New Hampshire Department of Transportation.

Families from around Western New York who are interested in hosting an Irish child for a month this summer are invited to apply to a long-standing local relief program for consideration as host families, organizers of the project said.
The Belfast Summer Relief Program, an effort started in 1975 in Buffalo, is seeking host families for the 2013 season, said Maureen Fecio, co-director of the effort.
The children in the program are both Catholic and Protestant and come from Derry, also known as Londonderry, the second-largest city in Northern Ireland, to spend part of their summer in Buffalo, said Fecio.
While here, they live with local families, often in homes with children around the same age, she said.
"The cultural exchange is just amazing," said Fecio, who runs the nonprofit program with her husband, Jack. "You think you're doing it as a benefit to those children – but actually, what your own children get out of it is certainly amazing."
The Buffalo-based program has brought nearly 1,700 children to the area since its inception, Fecio said.
The Irish boys and girls who participate are between 10 and 12 years old, said Fecio.
Families who apply do not need to have children of their own.
The group covers the expenses of the children in coming to Buffalo, Fecio said. Host families provide room and board while they are in town, she said. Some group activities are organized so that families hosting children may participate in if they wish, she said.
The dates of the 2013 program have not been finalized, but it is likely to run from late June to late July, Fecio said.
Interested parties are asked to respond as quickly as possible, due to the length of time it takes to process applications, organizers said.
To apply, or for more information, contact the Belfast Summer Relief Program at 822-6626 or by email at email@example.com. Information on the project is also available at www.buffaloirish.com.

INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. - After years of declining enrollment at Incline Village's public schools and within the Washoe County School District, both appear to be showing signs of stabilization.
According to official numbers for the 2012-13 school year, enrollment at Incline High, Middle and Elementary schools is 947 students, up four students from 2011-12. The Washoe County School District also held its ground in for the current school year with 62,424 students, up 204 from the year prior.
"We're seeing a stabilization of the economy," said Stacey Cooper, principal of Incline High School. "Families that are moving into the community have jobs here."
Cooper said she believes families are moving to Incline Village because of the academic standards here.
"We are one of the highest performing high schools in the state of Nevada in ACT scores," she added.
The housing market could be an indication for a steadying trend in enrollment.
"Our big problem this year is we don't have enough inventories," said Chris Plastiras, who, with his wife Patti, are owners and brokers of Lakeshore Reality in Incline Village. He said sales of single family homes were up 57 percent in 2012 over the year prior.
"I have seen a significant number of California families moving into Incline, who are tired of paying state income tax," he said.
Despite a tightening Incline Village real estate market, the 2012-13 Incline enrollment numbers don't necessarily carry a lot of weight in trends.
Some view elementary school numbers as a gauge to a change of the number of people moving into or out of a town. According to enrollment numbers, Incline Elementary has three fewer students in 2012-13 than a year ago.
Kathleen Watty, principal at Incline elementary and middle schools, said she sees no trend at this point.
"We always have a slight fluctuation," she said. "It's been this way for the past four or five years. Is it holding steady? Yes."
Sharon Kennedy, assistant principal at IMS, shared a similar view.
"Honestly, I don't know why our numbers are up slightly (for the middle school)," she said. "We have had several families move into the area."
According to WCSD, 316 students were enrolled at Incline High this school year, down from 321 in 2011-12.

They lay those awesome blue and pink eggs, thus the name. Funny - every time we get a new flock of chickens, the old girls give me that "hey what up" look.

Possible Precautions
Sexual assault or rape is never the responsibility of the victim. Sexual assault is always, always the fault of the rapist, no matter what the victim was wearing, how she was behaving, how much she had to drink or her sexual history.
The vast majority of sexual assaults are committed not by strangers, but by people known to the victim – boyfriends, husbands, coworkers or friends. Many "rape prevention tips" use the image of a man behind a bush in the shadows, but globally, statistics have shown that such assaults account for a small percentage of reported cases.
Though women should not have to curtail their behaviour or freedom to avoid risk of sexual assault, there are some precautions women can take if they would like to. Not following these precautions does not "invite" rape. We can never place the responsibility of rape on the victim's choices.
Some things you can remember:
- You have the absolute right to say no to any sexual activity at any stage – even if he's your boyfriend or husband, even if you're participating in some sexual activity already, even if you've given consent to sex before. Set your limits by what you're comfortable with.
- If your partner is not respecting your limits or your wishes, walk away from the situation if you can safely do so.
- Unwanted sexual activity in any form constitutes sexual assault. If you're comfortable, you can file a police report against anyone who does not respect your limits or your "no".
- Lack of "no" does not mean "yes". If you are unable to say "no" (for example, if you've had a lot to drink, or feel threatened by your partner), you cannot legally give consent. Everyone involved in a sexual situation must make sure they have true consent at every stage.
- When out at a bar or a party, keep your drink with you. Leaving a drink unattended makes it possible for someone to spike it with alcohol or "date rape drugs".
- Watch out for your friends when at a bar or a party. Don't let a man leave with an intoxicated friend who seems too drunk to consent to any sexual activity.
If you have experienced sexual assault or rape, remember that it was not at all your fault, even if you choose not to report your experience. Reach out for help. Talk to trusted friends or family members, or call the AWARE Sexual Assault Care Centre (6779 0282). We can provide confidential counselling, legal advice and emotional support to help you deal with your experience.

The Lives Behind Bipolar
Carlton Davis works on a self-portrait in the film Of Two Minds.
By Brendan McLean, NAMI Communications Coordinator
It's been 18 years since her sister's death; years that have left Lisa Klein wondering whether her sister Tina really wanted to end her life or was simply trying to escape the pain.
The diagnosis of bipolar disorder had provided some answers. It gave an explanation for the jubilant highs and feelings of limitless potential her sister felt as well as the devastating lows when she wouldn't come out of her room for days. It helped explain why wacky, eccentric, outrageous and crazy were the words people often used to describe her. While Lisa may never know for certain why her big sister decided to take her own life, she does know that her feelings often made her feel isolated in the bustling, "normal" world around her, feelings that millions of other Americans who live with bipolar disorder and other mental illnesses experience every day.
With her husband Doug Blush, Lisa Klein set out to make a documentary chronicling the lives of individuals impacted by bipolar disorder in memory of her older sister. Four years of work culminated in the finished product Of Two Minds, which has been playing around the country at film festivals this year. Exploring the turbulent journey that individuals living with bipolar disorder often face every day, the film captures the feelings, thoughts and fears surrounding mental illness. There are psychiatrists and psychologists helping to explain what bipolar disorder is along the way, but largely it is the voices of the individuals with bipolar, the family members and others who have been directly influenced by mental illness, that narrate the story.
As a result, the film mimics the emotional roller coaster of life—and bipolar disorder—by bringing you up on a humorous high, setting you down into another tear-inducing account, only to bring you back up again.
Primarily following the stories of four individuals—starting with three but picking up a fourth along the way—Of Two Minds weaves between the characters' lives, depicting some of the many difficulties that individuals with mental illness face: being turned down for healthcare (and continuing to be turned down because you were previously rejected), balancing relationships when one minute you are the most joyous person in the world and the next when life is hanging on the edge of a razor, losing a family member to suicide, the feeling of knowing medication keeps you stable but at the same time zaps your creativity and individuality, and others.
"We didn't start with a preconceived notion of how this was going to go," Blush asserts. "We knew that there were going to be major stories that we were going to follow but we didn't know the form it would take, but it turned out that stories of the people were so compelling, just living life."
And extremely captivating they are. While the four primary stories provide the core of the movie, the peripheral stories help reveal the variety of complex emotions and situations that often arise with mental illness. All of these personal accounts help depict the personal consequences of the illness to an almost unbearable reality.
"It's like taking the best day you've ever had and multiplying it by a million," says Cheri Keating in the film, one of its central figures, about what it feels like to be manic. Keating came to Los Angeles to make it as a makeup artist. Within two months, she was planning her suicide. Her first inclination of her illness was when she was only 8 years old and started having hallucinations. At 14, she attempted suicide for the first time.
Artist Petey Peterson and his work in Of Two Minds.
Because the film was shot over an extended period of time, we see Keating, and the other subjects of the film grow. For Keating, we see her pack up and move (something she has done 37 times in 37 years), find a boyfriend, Michael "Petey" Peterson, break up with said boyfriend, get back together and break up again. We see her wean herself off psychiatric medication and by the end of the film look wonderfully content as she shops through a local market.
Arguably one of the most fascinating turns of the movie is when the aforementioned Peterson, is diagnosed with bipolar disorder himself. Watching the film, we learn firsthand the ramification of what it means to be diagnosed. Peterson was completely okay when being told about Keating's bipolar disorder; it didn't affect him, she was attractive and fun and he liked her—that was all that mattered. But when he received the diagnosis himself, his response was completely the opposite.
"He just never realized he had it himself," says Klein when I asked her about being there for the experience. "For him I think it was like, 'oh my God, now I'm a label.'" Watching the film one comes to understand that there is a distinct difference between the stigma of mental illness and the stigma of having a mental illness one's self.
However, it is not simply being labeled bipolar that is a concern, it is also figuring out which terms to use to label and describe the illness. One of the other main subjects of the film Liz Spikol, a writer and editor in Philadelphia, is a staunch proponent of using correct terminology. "She's a big advocate for how we phrase things and the importance of the language we use, from what's in the DSM to the casual use of phrases like, 'that's crazy,'" says Klein.
Spikol's symptoms of psychosis did not occur until experiencing a rape when she was 17 years old. Her doctors told her she had a predisposition to bipolar disorder and that the event triggered it. From writing articles and blogs to creating videos on YouTube, she recounts her daily experiences with bipolar disorder and lets the viewer catch a glimpse of what it means to live with bipolar disorder.
In April, at the Cleveland International Film Festival, many of the film's stars came together, meeting for the first time, to give attendees a chance to ask questions about their experiences with mental illness and the film. Understandably, many of those in attendance also had some connection to the illness, whether it was a personal diagnosis or a family member or friend had been diagnosed with the illness.
"One man came up to me after the showing and he had never told anyone [about his diagnosis]. I don't think he had even admitted it to his family and he was coming up to talk to us as the first person he was coming out to," Blush states. "I think if a film can have that sort of effect across a group of people I think it kind of engenders the ability to say, 'Ok, I'm here too. We're together.'"
Directors Doug Blush and Lisa Klein.
The wide range of characters, the fourth and final primary subject is Carlton Davis, a 65-year-old man who was not diagnosed with bipolar disorder until his 50s, provide viewers with a multitude of possible moments or characters to relate. People with some relation to mental illness will reasonably find a deeper connection with the film than those without, but the film has the ability to move anyone.
The portrayals of mental illness in the film create a credibility that is infrequently found in other independently produced documentaries about mental illness. To help share their film with individuals around the country, Lisa Klein and Doug Blush have begun to work with NAMI State Organizations and Affiliates to hold screenings in addition to those at film festivals.
With a growing interest in the film and continued exposure at film festivals (the film is showing at the 16th Annual DocuWeeks festival in Los Angeles and New York between Aug. 17-30) more people will will be able to see this glimpse into what it means to live with bipolar disorder.
"If there's one thing we hope, it's that we can break open closet doors," Klein believes. "If it allows two people to openly talk about bipolar disorder, it can change the entire discussion; it can change everything."

Reducing wages would be economic suicide
August 24, 2013
"Let's raise the minimum wage to $30 per hour, and then we'll all make a good living." — Delegate Larry Kump (R-Berkeley) as quoted by Russell Mokhiber at his Morgan County USA blog. Don't worry....
Republicans are the slave masters of out current society. They want to take away a living wage, reduce or eliminate healthcare, take away the power of the employees and strip away women's rights. All the while pretending to help us all out. The only thing Republicans will help you out of is your rights and freedoms. Then they have all the control over your life. Wake up West Virginians, these are wolves in Sheep's clothing.

Sean, you are delusion if you think the bankrupt European countries have cut spending. The only thing they have done is reprioritize their spending. You see the interest on the loans they have been so graciously "granted" from the ECB must be repaid, consuming ever larger portions of the very loans they have taken, therefore less fake(printed out of thin air" money to spend. You see Sean, this is the very course Amerika is on. Just asked the overpaid Gov't pensioners of Detroit. The banksers get 80 cents on the dollar and the public sector retired "workers" get 20 cents on the dollar. The borrow and deficit spending programs you advocate are draining the scares (money) resources out of the economy and into the coffers of the central banks.

WV should give Sean's idea a try. After decades of keeping wages low, it may be time to change course. Those businesses that squeal and leave the state were never interested in our well being anyway. SLAM!

Serves 10 |
Prep Time 15 minutes |
Cook Time 40 minutes
Cherry Filling
2 cups Eden Dried Montmorency Cherries, coarsely chopped
1 1/2 cups Eden Apple Juice
1 pinch Eden Sea Salt
1 tsp Eden Kuzu Root Starch, dissolved in 2 tsp. cold water
Oatmeal Crust & Topping
2 cup Eden Oat Flakesor Eden Kamut Flakes
2 cup organic whole wheat pastry flour
1/2 tsp Eden Sea Salt
1/2 cup Eden Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
2 tsp orange zest (grated peel)
1/2 cup Eden Apple Juice, plus 3 to 4 T. for bottom crust
Preheat the oven to 350°. To prepare the filling, place the chopped cherries, juice and sea salt in a medium saucepan. See note below, if a sweeter flavor is desired. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce the flame to low and simmer 10 minutes until the cherries are soft. Add the dissolved kuzu, stirring constantly until thick. Cook 1 minute and turn off the flame. Set aside while you prepare the crust and topping.
To prepare the crust and topping, dry roast the oats for about 4 to 5 minutes until slightly browned and they release a nutty aroma. Next, dry roast the flour for 2 to 3 minutes until it release a nutty aroma. Combine all dry ingredients for the crust and topping. Combine all the wet ingredients. Mix the wet and dry ingredients together to form a dry crumbly mixture. Divide the mixture in half. Set one half aside. Oil a small baking sheet. Take one half of the crust mixture and add 3 to 4 more tablespoons of apple cherry juice (see * above) and form into a small ball of dough. Place the dough on an oiled baking sheet and roll out so that it is about 1/4 inch thick. With your fingers, pinch edges of the dough to form a rectangle about 6" x 12". Evenly spread the cherries over the crust. Take the remaining oat topping mixture and evenly sprinkle it on top of the cherries. Bake for 30 minutes. Remove and allow to cool for 20 minutes or so before cutting into squares.
Yield: makes 12 bars - 2" x 3"
NOTE: If a less tart, sweeter flavor is desired, add 1/4 cup pure organic maple syrup to the cherry filling at the beginning of cooking.

On a cold and snowy January evening Rob and I, along with two patients and a caregiver from the West Bend Multiple Myeloma support group, were privileged to have the opportunity to meet with Rep. Pat Strachota who represents our district, to discuss the importance of the Oral Drug Parity bill being introduced in Wisconsin this year. Rob and I became charter members of the WCCTA (WI Coalition for Cancer Treatment Access) because we believe it is important for the patient population to be represented in Wisconsin, and that patients and caregivers really CAN make a difference if we let our voices be heard.
We were pleased that some of the coalition members were able to meet with Rep. Strachota beforehand to lay the groundwork and educate her on this important chemotherapy legislation. We presented an overview of multiple myeloma, its treatments, and side effects, and each patient shared his/her personal journey since being diagnosed with cancer. Rob and I founded the West Bend myeloma support group in 2008 because we firmly believe there is strength in numbers. We shared with Rep. Strachota the mission of the group and its role in the community, which is to "empower patients through education and networking and provide a safe, supportive environment of hope and encouragement, enabling myeloma survivors to live better, stronger lives."
Our main discussion point with Rep. Strachota was that cancer patients need access to ALL treatments regardless of how they're administered, and that even if the issue of coverage for oral treatments isn't one's concern today, it could well be in the future, as the percentage of oral chemotherapy drugs in the pipeline continues to grow. We also emphasized the "Quality of Life" factor and the convenience of taking an oral pill rather than going to the clinic for IV treatments and missing work time for those who are still employed. Rob shared how he has maintained an excellent quality of life by taking a daily oral chemo pill, enhancing our goal to live life to the fullest.
Another talking point was that it is imperative that patients and their physicians have the ability to make treatment decisions together, and to be able to choose the most effective treatment available based on what works best for the patient, and not solely on the cost. An inequity in coverage should not play a factor in those treatment decisions, and we are pleased that the pending legislation strongly supports the doctor/patient relationship.
We firmly believe that all treatments for various types of cancers should be available to every cancer patient. Nobody should ever have to max out their credit cards, or lose their home just to afford cancer treatment. Sadly, that is a reality for many cancer patients. They have enough on their plate just trying to regain their health without the added burden of figuring out how to pay for life-saving treatment and going deeply into debt in the process.
On March 2nd we will travel to Madison to participate in "A Day at the Capitol," to meet with WCCTA coalition members and other concerned citizens and discuss the oral chemotherapy bill. We will spend the morning being briefed on the legislative process, and spend the afternoon at the Capitol meeting with our legislators. We are excited to have the opportunity to do what we can to help pave the way for this important cancer legislation to become law. Nine other states have already passed similar legislation and our hope is that Wisconsin will soon join in making this nation a secure place for cancer patients.
Some people have said we seem to be so civic-minded, but in reality, we are simply two concerned citizens trying to make a difference, and we believe that to bring about change we must make our voices heard. It is our privilege to help others and we look forward to a brighter future for all cancer patients.
