CHARLES TOWN - After decades of public service both in the military and the Federal Emergency Management Agency, Charles Town resident Daniel Foster still has fond memories of his time in uniform.
An Oklahoma City native, Foster joined the U.S. Marine Corps when he was 19 years old and spent a little more than four years in that branch of the military. Although he remembers his time in the Marine Corps fondly, that was not Foster's first choice when enlisting.
"Originally I wanted to be in the Air Force, and when I applied for the Air Force they said there was a six-month waiting period," Foster said. "I didn't really want to wait that long and hang around Oklahoma City."

Daniel Foster shows off a metal replica of one of the planes he served as a communications officer on during his time in the Air Force. The planes Foster served on were electronic communication aircraft.
Foster had a friend joining the Marines, and the two went to the recruitment office to enlist together.
"My friend said he was joining the Marine Corps and that it was the best service and they pay more money. Which, of course, he didn't know what he was talking about," Foster joked. "He (the recruiter) said he'd send us to boot camp together. Unknowing what was going on, we got to boot camp and you can't talk to your friend."
Foster still remembers the day he left Oklahoma City for the military.
"My mama stood there in the middle of the floor crying, because here her only son was leaving," Foster said. "I told her, 'I'll be back, ma.'"
While the rigid military structure of the Marine Corps may not be for everyone, Foster felt almost at home during his time there.
"It was good for me because I liked that sort of regimental type of life," he said. "In high school, our football line coach was a former Marine, and he treated us the same way the drill instructors did. I was used to that kind of treatment."
During his time in the Marine Corps, Foster was stationed in Okinawa, Japan, during the Cuban Missile Crisis.
"That Cuban crisis was going on and we all got extended in the service," Foster said. "We were all prepared to do what we had to do, but luckily it didn't happen."
After his time in the Marine Corps was up, Foster pursued his original intention of joining the Air Force. This time there was no waiting period, and because Foster had already been in the service he did not have to go through basic training.
One of the conditions Foster had to meet when he enlisted in the Air Force was that he had to go to Vietnam.
"I re-enlisted, and that's the moment I decided I was going to make a career out of the military service," Foster said. "I think that was the turning point that caused me to be a retired military man."
While he was happy to join the Air Force, Foster likes to joke about the differences between the two services.
"When I joined the Air Force, once in a while I'd get frustrated because they didn't know how to march," he joked. "They did alright though, and it was a lot of fun."
Foster served as a communications officer in the Air Force, and some of his fondest memories, and conversely one of his scariest memories, originated during his time in that branch of service.
Foster fondly remembers the experience he and his men shared during the Dragon Rouge operation in the Congo during Thanksgiving week 1964.
"All of us put together all of our C-rations and put them in a pot and cooked our Thanksgiving dinner," he said. "We sat out there, on the flight line next to our airplane, having Thanksgiving dinner from C-rations. It was a lot of fun, really a lot of camaraderie there. We were a real tight group."
Although his time in the Air Force brings back numerous fond memories, Foster said he also had some of the scariest times of his life while serving. Foster's scariest memory comes from a routine trailing wire antenna mission over the Gulf of Mexico.
"They used to allow you to take your spouse with you on the aircraft so they could see what you did as a military member," Foster said. "A part of one of the engines blew up while we had our spouses aboard the aircraft. They thought it was an exciting thing, we were scared to death. Everybody aboard the aircraft could have lost their lives, and their wives' lives."
Foster retired from the Air Force as a master sergeant in 1983 and went to work for FEMA as a communications person on an emergency response team. He retired in the mid '90s and moved to Charles Town, where the retiree enjoys the life that a lifetime of service to his country has earned him.

It's hard to control who you're attracted to. Why does one person prefer blondes and another redheads? Why giant boobs over enormous boobs? Why a suave, charming Internet comedy writer over Brad Pitt? The world is a zany cornucopia of crotch-tingling sensations and desires. Enjoy it!
That said, probably all of us at one time or another have felt that curious mix of shame and arousal. Someone or something that turns us on while another part of our brain shrinks away in fear, hissing, "Unclean! Unclean!" I can't say for sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing, as I don't know what your shame is -- there's every chance it's something that would make me run for the hills throwing lit matches at you all the way, so remember that if you ever feel like sharing. But for my part, I will say there are a handful of fictional ladies out there that have always turned my crank in a way I'm not entirely proud of. They're an odd mix of intentional sex appeal and perhaps unintentional grossness that confused my young mind and, let's be honest, still confuse me today as an adult. Suffice it to say I had the weirdest boner during research for this.
#6. She-Hulk
Bruce Banner's cousin Jennifer Walters receives a blood transfusion from her super green cousin, resulting in her gaining the ability to transform into a diluted version of the rage beast we all know and love from one of three films he's appeared in. Naturally, since Banner becomes a savage beast thing that throws tanks around like kiwis, Walters just turns into a green-skinned Amazon woman with LLL cup boobs and thighs that could crack coconuts.
At first glance you might think it's obvious that She-Hulk was meant to be sexy and sexual; after all, she's a female comic book character, and traditionally female comic book characters have existed to give bustier designers in the fictional universes they inhabit something to do, but She-Hulk isn't your average Power Girl, busting down walls with her nipples and for some reason entering every room vagina first. She's still a big green rage monster. She has her personality and all, but she's big and green. That's weird, right?
I first discovered She-Hulk when I was about 12, and there was something curiously sexy about those big green thighs to me. Green was new and delightful. I wanted that. I wanted to plow that verdant field. Why? She was unique. I had never seen a green woman before (I hadn't seen that episode of Star Trek yet) and it was exciting in a whole new way. I wondered briefly if I was racist, but then quickly decided that since I wanted to shower with her, it was the opposite of racism, whatever that is. I was enlightened due to my desire to climb She-Hulk like a garden wall.
To this day She-Hulk is drawn in the same overtly sexy fashion as all female comic book characters -- the poor girl can't keep her clothes on, after all, what with the rippling boobs and power buttocks tearing through her business suits left and right, and there's no rhyme or reason to the attraction to her, but man, it's still there.
#5. Draenei
In World of Warcraft, Draenei are a race of aliens who had to flee their home world due to many paragraphs of nerd backstory that will interest you only if you already know the story. It's a weird Mobius strip of nerd knowledge. For the enjoyment of this article all you need to know is they have Russian accents, blue skin, tails, horns, and hooves. And you might be inclined to tap that. Try to imagine the sexiest goat you ever saw, and then give it a pretty OK ass. And it sounds like Pussy Riot.
While male Draenei have been designed to look like a blue-skinned Eastern European lumberjack, the females all seem to have their back arched in that "I think I dropped something in my vagina, could you find a way to poke it out?" fashion that's so popular among artists these days. They also tend to have pretty decent racks and, despite the hooves, some shapely gams. I can't account for their tails, however, as they seem to be protruding right from the bunghole area, but who am I to question alien anatomy? I'm just a guy who felt it move when he was looking at a half-dressed Draenei lady once.
You have to give credit to the artists over at Blizzard who have to work with some pretty ungainly creations. Sure, the humans and various elves lend themselves to sexy artwork, but these hardworking artists are trying to give you boners for goat ladies, the walking dead, a race of cow people, and werewolves. It can't be easy to be drawing goat and cow boobs all day.
#4. Fionna
If you've never seen Adventure Time you're missing out on one of the craziest mind trips of a cartoon series ever. It looks like it should appeal to tweens, yet the backstory, as slowly revealed over several seasons, is one of a terribly depressing post-apocalyptic world of loss and loneliness, plus bacon pancakes.
At some point the show offered up a gender-swap episode, based on a comic book created by the villainous and somewhat insane Ice King, in which everyone is the opposite sex. The hero, Finn the Human, becomes Fionna the Human Girl, and despite the simplistic art style, there's a curiously sexual undertone to the entire thing, with all the princes vying for her affections and the fact that she wears knee socks and a short skirt while wielding a big pink sword. While Finn is drawn as pretty much a Tetris piece with rabbit ears, Fionna is made deliberately curvy and curiously athletic, with hip and breast definition. Am I sick for noticing that? Probably.
The fact that Adventure Time, despite being a cartoon, is rife with sexual innuendo makes it pretty clear this is no accident. Fionna is the Ice King's fan fiction, and we all know how depraved fan fiction is. Plus the fact is the Ice King, when not trying to kill Finn and Jake, spends most of the series trying to bang princesses, even the gross ones. So Ice King is a horny old man about 22/7.
If this also implies the Ice King has latent sexual desire for Finn, well, that's an episode for another day when the creators feel it's OK to tackle an impossibly ancient man's sexual attraction to an orphaned pubescent boy.

NABL has questions with 1 month to go to opening day
May 3, 2012 - Robert Collias
I promise I am trying to look at this as optimistically as possible, but let's assess where we are with the Northern Division of the North American Baseball League after my story today announcing the division — read that ownership groups in Maui and San Rafael, Calif. — says it will also play games in Hilo and Sonoma, Calif., to make up the NABL North.
First, the positives:
—Travel is much easier this way with Sonoma and San Rafael being separated by about an hour by bus and only two inter-island plane rides required to get from Maui to Hilo. No doubt, big ups there.
—Michael Cummings, who somehow found a way not only back into the league, but to own two teams in the same division as the Maui franchise he owned back in 2010, is out. For anyone who remembers Cummings and his countless missteps here, this is also good news.
—Cummings is quoted as saying this: "We want to show everybody, 'See we pay our bills. Everything happens the way it's supposed to with us,'" Cummings said. "When the season starts for the summer we want everyone to know who we are and what we're about, and we do what we say we're going to do and we can move forward" in this story announcing his Yuma Panthers will go dark this season. In that link, Cummings is also quoted as saying: "We want to come in and do it right ourselves." (And, yes, this is the same Michael Cummings who owned Na Koa).
—Commissioner Kevin Outcalt, the gentleman who let Cummings own franchises in Yuma, Ariz., and Orange County, Calif., is also out. After the happenings in Lake County, Ill., last season and the fact that Maui didn't play its last 27 games largely because of those bumbling Fielders and that the entire league had to cut the final week of its schedule, it is hard to say Outcalt will be missed.
—Maui-Hilo owner Bob Young and San Rafael-Sonoma owner Brian Clark are now in charge of the league. They do have a very reputable guy in San Rafael Pacifics President/GM Mike Shapiro, a former major league exec.
Now, the question marks (take a deep breath):
—There is no schedule in place now — the season is supposed to start June 5 — since dates in Hilo have not been nailed down (read first link above) and neither have dates or a stadium been found in Sonoma, according to the Marin Independent Journal.
—There is no commissioner in place (first and fourth links).
—Too bad a good guy like 2011 Maui manager Garry Templeton, a class act all the way, got mixed up with the Yuma franchise. He would be a great hire for Hilo, IMHO.
—Before naming them Panthers, Cummings bought the former Yuma Scorpions — guided by player-manager Jose Canseco last season — from Outcalt. Figures. Canseco and his twin brother Ozzie, a player coach, were the best thing about the NABL last season and by far the biggest draw on Maui. Oh yeah, 2011 Maui GM Bob Elder was hired by Cummings for the same job in Yuma, a perfect match.
—There is no front-office or field staff in place in Hilo (first link).
—There was a recent court challenge in San Rafael that actually went in the team's favor somewhat over (I promise I am not making this up) bingo and a group called the "Goldenaires" (maybe this one should go in the positives section, yeah?).
—Hard to tell precisely, but it doesn't seem like there are any staff members in place in Sonoma, either.
Other than that, everything looks good.

WHERE HE STANDS: Greg Biffle climbed one spot after Fontana and into a tie for fourth place with Roush Fenway Racing teammate Carl Edwards. The pair trail new points leader Dale Earnhardt Jr. by 35 points, third-ranked Jimmie Johnson by 19 points and lead sixth-ranked Kyle Busch by just one point.
MARTINSVILLE RECORD: 20 career starts, 0 wins, 0 top-fives, 3 top-10s and 0 poles. Best career finish: seventh, fall 2007. Finished 13th in the spring race last year and was 10th in the fall race there.
LOOKING AHEAD: Biffle has to be cringing at the thought of the next race at Martinsville. Try as hard as he may, he just can't seem the handle around that short track, which is ironic given that Biffle grew up racing on short tracks similar to Martinsville. Here's Biffle's thoughts on Sunday's race: "Martinsville is obviously not one of my best race tracks, but over the last couple of years we've gotten a lot better with top-10 finishes. Now we need to step it up and get a top-five finish. Our brakes have been good, tractions been good and the cars are working better. Our goal is a top-five finish at Martinsville this Sunday."
LOOKING BACK: Biffle had a strong run at Fontana, one of his favorite tracks, finishing sixth.
ETC.: Even though he's struggled when it comes to good results there, Biffle has completed 97.7 percent (9,804) of the 10,034 total laps contested in 20 career starts at Martinsville. His average start is 20.2 and average finish is a mediocre 21.4. He has zero DNFs there.
99 CARL EDWARDS, Ford
Team: Roush Fenway Racing
WHERE HE STANDS: Carl Edwards climbed three spots after Fontana and into a tie for fourth place with Roush Fenway Racing teammate Carl Edwards. The pair trail new points leader Dale Earnhardt Jr. by 35 points, third-ranked Jimmie Johnson by 19 points and lead sixth-ranked Kyle Busch by just one point.
MARTINSVILLE RECORD: 17 career starts, 0 wins, 1 top-five, 5 top-10s, 0 poles. Best career finish: Third in fall 2008. Finished 11th in last year's spring race and was 18th in the fall race there.
LOOKING AHEAD: Edwards is much like teammate Greg Biffle. Both spent their formative racing careers primarily on short tracks - and winning a lot on them - but for some reason have just not had much luck at Martinsville Speedway. Here's Edwards' thoughts on Sunday's race: "I am late a lot, so I think it would do everyone around me a big favor if I was to put our Fastenal Ford in Victory Lane at Martinsville and take home the Grandfather clock. We have had a few good runs there, but for the most part, we have struggled. It would be huge for me personally to get a win there."
LOOKING BACK: Edwards had one of his stronger performances of the season at Fontana, finishing fourth. Had a few things gone more his way, he might have left there with his second win of the season.
ETC.: Edwards has completed 97.9 percent (8,351) of the 8,534 total laps contested in 17 career starts at Martinsville. His average start is 18.1 and average finish is 16.1. He has zero DNFs there.
18 KYLE BUSCH, Toyota
Team: Joe Gibbs Racing
WHERE HE STANDS: Climbing seven spots after Bristol, Kyle Busch jumped up four more spots into sixth place after his win at Fontana. He trails points leader Dale Earnhardt Jr. by 36 points, is one point behind the fourth-place tie between Greg Biffle and Carl Edwards and leads seventh-ranked Kasey Kahne by four points.
MARTINSVILLE RECORD: 16 career starts, 0 wins, 7 top-five, 8 top-10s, 0 poles. Best career finish: Second in fall 2012. Finished 36th in last year's spring race, but bounced back to finish a career-high runner-up in the fall race there.
LOOKING AHEAD: Busch has won at Bristol and Richmond, but never at Martinsville. Coming off a win at the two-mile track at Fontana, he's looking to finally scratch Martinsville off his "must win" list of tracks. Busch is eyeing a second straight win Sunday: "I certainly hope so. We were so close last fall and right on Jimmie's (Johnson) bumper for the win. I've led a bunch of laps there, but we just haven't been able to hold it for the end of the 500 laps."
LOOKING BACK: Busch dominated to win at Fontana, his 25th career Cup victory. He had a car that was the class of the field and continually kept his challengers at bay throughout the race.
ETC.: Busch has completed 95.6 percent (7,684) of the 8,034 total laps contested in 16 career starts at Martinsville. His average start is 13.9 and average finish is 16.8. He has one DNF there.
5 KASEY KAHNE, Chevrolet
Team: Hendrick Motorsports
WHERE HE STANDS: Kasey Kahne remained in seventh place in the standings after Fontana. He trails points leader and teammate Dale Earnhardt Jr. by 40 points, is one point behind sixth-ranked Kyle Busch and leads eighth-ranked Paul Menard by five points.
MARTINSVILLE RECORD: 18 career starts, 0 wins, 2 top-five, 3 top-10s, 1 poles. Best career finish: Second in spring 2005. Finished 38th in last year's spring race, but rebounded to finish third in the fall race there.
LOOKING AHEAD: Much like fellow drivers Dale Earnhardt Jr., Greg Biffle and Carl Edwards, all who cut their racing teeth on short tracks, Kahne has not been able to solve the puzzle that has been Martinsville Speedway. Here's Kahne's thoughts on Sunday's race: "Just having Jimmie (Johnson), Jeff (Gordon) and Dale (Earnhardt, Jr.) as my teammates, those guys run really well there. Being part of Hendrick Motorsports, they bring a really nice package to that track. Last year was the best I've ever ran there, the most comfortable I've been and I feel like it will be like that again this year just because of the guys I'm surrounded with. That was one of my hardest tracks and now I'm feeling like I'm figuring it out and I think it's because of those guys and listening and learning from them."
LOOKING BACK: Kahne had a competitive car at Fontana, but wasn't able to win a second straight race, having captured the checkered flag the week before at Bristol. Kahne ultimately finished ninth at Fontana.

MACON, Ga. – Sophomore Danielle Hurme was named Atlantic Sun Conference Defensive Player of the Week for her performance over the weekend, as announced by the league on Monday.
The honor marked the first weekly accolades for Stetson this season, and the first in Hurme's young career. The last Hatter to be named A-Sun Player of the Week was Alexis Hermosa in August of 2011.
Hurme scored two goals while playing in the back as Stetson went undefeated in two games this weekend. The sophomore scored the game-tying goal with just minutes remaining in a 3-3 draw against Lipscomb, and also tied the match at Northern Kentucky before the Hatters went on to win 2-1 on Sunday.
The Wellington, Fla. native is now second on the team with five points. She has two goals and one assist on the season.
After a 1-0-1 weekend, Stetson stands in third place in the A-Sun with a 2-1-1 league mark. The Hatters will return home this weekend to play host to USC Upstate on Friday and ETSU on Sunday.

ACCA (the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) reached a milestone in opening its 91st office in Myanmar, strengthening its global presence.
The move is in line with ACCA's commitment to acting in the public interest, promoting ethical business and supporting economic growth in Myanmar.
Myanmar has undergone significant political and economic reforms in recent years. As interest in the country grows, there is a growing need for qualified business and finance leaders who are well-versed in finance, management, strategy, corporate governance, and ethics.
ACCA has built strong ties with national organizations in Myanmar who share similar commitments to championing sustainable businesses that create economic advancement and development in the country.
ACCA was the first global professional accounting body to sign a Memorandum of Understanding with Myanmar's national accounting body – MICPA (the Myanmar Institute of Certified Public Accountants). Recently, it signed an agreement with UMFCCI (the Republic of Union of Myanmar Federation of Chambers of Commerce and Industry) - Myanmar's leading not-for-profit body representing the interests of businesses and enterprises.
Kyaw Lwin Oo has been named as the head of ACCA Myanmar. Joining ACCA from his position as deputy director at Temasek International College, Mr Lwin brings to ACCA his extensive experience in management, strategy and operations in the higher education sector.
He also has an in-depth understanding of employers and the media in the country, having previously worked at Myanmar's apex body for business, UMFCCI, and as editor at a prominent publishing house.
Mr Lwin said: 'We have more than 2,500 students in the country, so we are working closely with them to ensure they become complete finance professionals, who are ready for the world of work.
'I am sure that together with our partnerships with other organisations such as the Office of the Auditor General, MICPA and the UMFCCI, we can develop a growing base of students and members here, which will make the accountancy profession flourish.'
Ms. Helen Brand OBE, ACCA's Chief Executive said: 'I am delighted that we have established a presence in Myanmar. ACCA qualified finance professionals contribute positively to businesses and economies in all stages of development. We look forward to further strengthening relationships with the government, regulators, universities, the national body, MICPA and other organizations in Myanmar. We will continue supporting Myanmar's economic and social developments and deliver public value.'

"We used this card for our business Christmas Card. We were able to add logos, a personal message, and choose a paper/envelope style. We went with the matte card and paid extra for the gold envelopes- they look great, personal and expensive. We liked them so much that we had more shipped out at a later date and they came in the two days as promised! Will definitely use Tiny Prints in the future!"
"We send out coffee gift cards to my husbands clients each year and these cards were perfect. I'm able to attach the gift cards to the back of this card. We upgraded the paper and it's beautiful. My only suggestion would be to use a navy print color for the gold strip on the front of the card. I used the suggested white and it is difficult to see!"
"For the price, these were perfect. It would have cost me significantly more to custom design my own holiday stationary with the same quality paper. Even when I opted for upgrades like the shimmery paper, metallic envelopes and corner cuts, it was still cheaper than custom printing my own stuff. My logo was printed in full color and looks great. The only thing I don't like is that they have the "tinyprints" trademark on the back of every card. I wish they would offer an option to have that removed. If you're paying for the product, why would you pay for them to have free advertising on your paid item?"
"This card was just right to send to our 120 volunteers. We were able to personalize it on the front, and the blank back allowed me to write a few sentences of thanks and sign it. They just went out in Monday's mail and already I am getting thank you emails from folks who got it this week. It was a low-cost way to do a little holiday recognition and appreciation, since we opted not to do a more expensive party-type of event. I highly recommend tinyprints. They have lots of designs, are reasonably priced, and the order is shipped promptly."

text: Just west of San Luigi dei Francesi lies Piazza Navona, Rome's most famous square. Lined with cafés and restaurants, and often thronged with tourists, street artists and pigeons, it is as picturesque – and as vibrant, day and night – as any piazza in Italy. It takes its shape from the first-century-AD Stadium of Domitian, the principal venue of the athletic events and later chariot races that took place in the Campus Martius. Until the mid-fifteenth century the ruins of the arena were still here, overgrown and disused, but the square was given a facelift in the mid-seventeenth century by Pope Innocent X, who built most of the grandiose palaces that surround it and commissioned Borromini to design the facade of the church of Sant'Agnese in Agone on the piazza's western side. The story goes that the 13-year-old St Agnes was stripped naked before the crowds in the stadium as punishment for refusing to marry, whereupon she miraculously grew hair to cover herself. The church, typically squeezed into the tightest of spaces by Borromini, is supposedly built on the spot where it all happened.Opposite, the Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi, one of three that punctuate the square, is a masterpiece by Bernini, Borromini's arch-rival, and it's said that all the figures are shielding their eyes in horror from Borromini's church facade (Bernini was disdainful of the less successful Borromini, and their rivalry is well documented), but the fountain had actually been completed before the facade was begun. The grand complexity of rock, which represents the four great rivers of the world, is topped with an Egyptian obelisk, brought here by Pope Innocent X from the Circus of Maxentius.

LEWISTOWN - Following approximately 10 years of planning, the 2-1-1 human service calling network is up and running locally.
Marie Mulvihill, executive director of the United Way of Mifflin-Juniata made the announcement Thursday during the business meeting of the Mifflin County Commissioners.
"2-1-1 is an easy to remember three-digit phone number that provides assistance to consumers who are looking for human service providers in their communities," Mulvihill said in a press release she shared at the meeting.

Marie Mulvihill, executive director of the United Way of Mifflin-Juniata, announced the establishment of the 2-1-1 human services calling network during Thursday's business meeting of the Mifflin County Commissioners. Above, Mulvihill, standing left, displays the 2-1-1 banner with Allison Fisher, director of the Mifflin-Juniata Human Services Department. The commissioners are, seated from left, Kevin Kodish, Mark Sunderland and Otis Riden.
According to Mulvihill, the 2-1-1 service is now available in the central region of Pennsylvania which includes the following counties: Bedford, Blair, Cambria, Centre, Clinton, Columbia, Fulton, Huntingdon, Juniata, Lycoming, Mifflin, Montour, Northumberland, Snyder, Somerset and Union.
"We greatly appreciate and extend our sincere thanks to the hard work and dedication of the many volunteers in the PA 2-1-1 Central Region, the Mifflin County Commissioners and the United Way Board of Directors who contributed the needed start-up funding to make this system a reality," Mulvihill said.
According to the release, 2-1-1 will ensure people are connected to services, moving them into programs that support their needs and reducing costs by preventing problems from growing into a crisis. By dialing 2-1-1, the caller will access a live information and referral specialist who will provide contact information specific to the caller's local community.
"PA 2-1-1 plays an important role in effectively coordinating information about services and provides a single telephone number individuals can call when they are seeking information about assistance," Mulvihill stated. "The long-term goal of the network is to reduce costs to private and govermental human support services by moving those in need into service support prior to the development of full-blown and costly crisis situations."
According to the release, the system is capable of sharing data among local providers, rolling calls to other agencies in times of natural disaster, and meeting current licensing standards for information and referral providers across the country.
The service is available by telephone and online database 24 hours a day, every day of the year, Mulvihill pointed out.
"As the PA 2-1-1 system expands throughout the Commonwealth, it will have the capacity to partner with 9-1-1 in times of natural or man made disaster so that 9-1-1 can dedicate itself to first responders, leaving 2-1-1 to provide answers to urgent, but not emergency calls," she said.
For more information about the network, contact Mulvihill at 248-9636, Allison Fisher at 242-5452, or visit www.pa211central.org.

For optimum health, you should exercise at least 30 minutes most days of the week, according to Dr. Gary Windler, orthopaedic surgeon with South Carolina Sport Medicine and Orthopedic Center and Trident Health System. Summer can be a great time to enjoy the outdoors, but take precautions to not overdo it. Heatstroke and heat exhaustion are very real concerns, but they easily can be avoided. Prepare to Sweat As your body temperature rises above 98.6 degrees, your body will sweat to cool itself. Blood vessels close to the skin open to allow blood to carry heat away from your muscles. Water from your blood escapes through your sweat glands, cooling your body as it evaporates. Humidity in the air slows the evaporation process, so you should help keep your body cool in other ways. Drink water before you exercise, during the activity, and once your workout is complete. About 16 ounces of water before your activity and 10 ounces every 15 to 20 minutes while you play or workout outside is recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (www.cdc.gov). For exercise lasting longer than 1 hour, include a sports drink with your fluid replacement. This will help replace electrolytes such as sodium and potassium that are lost in your sweat, as well as providing carbohydrates to refuel your muscles. Drink water or a sports drink after your workout to replace the fluids you lost. Too Darn Hot As temperature and humidity rise, your risk for heat exhaustion and heatstroke also increase. Know the symptoms of each to take action, such as getting out of the heat into a cool environment or seeking medical attention. If you are sweating heavily, heat exhaustion can occur in as fast as 30 minutes. Heat exhaustion is generally characterized by one or more of the following: • cold, clammy skin • dizziness or fainting • heavy sweating • muscle cramps • nausea or vomiting • shallow breathing • weak and rapid pulse Less common but much more serious, heatstroke occurs when your body can no longer cool itself. This is a true emergency requiring immediate medical treatment including rapid cooling using ice packs or immersion in ice-cold water and notification of EMS through the 911 system. Symptoms may include: • confusion and/or unconsciousness • fever • nausea and vomiting • strong and rapid pulse • throbbing headache • warm, dry skin Made in the Shade To exercise more safely this summer, try these suggestions by the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons: • Drink plenty of fluids. • Get in shape before beginning to exercise in hot weather. • Limit outdoor exercise to early morning or late evening, to avoid the hottest part of the day. • Take it slow and at a lower intensity, exercising for longer periods. • Wear loose-fitting, lightweight clothing that allows your body to breathe. Cotton or moisture-wicking fabrics are preferable. A Safer Sipper Water is second to soda as the most popular drink of choice, now that it is as easy to take with you. Using bottles more than once or opting for a reusable water bottle is better for the environment, but may be giving consumers more than they bargained for. By the Numbers Polyethylene terephthalate (PET or PETE) carries the recycle number "1" and is the most common material for soda and water containers. It is safe for a single use. Refilling this bottle can expose you to bacteria and DEHP, a phthalate, that disrupts endocrine function and is a possible carcinogen. High-density polyethylene (HDPE) is durable, ideal for more than one use, and recyclable, carrying recycle number "2." Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) carries recycle number "4" and is a food-safe plastic used for bags and plastic wrap. Polypropylene (PP) is less recyclable, marked number "5," but has not been shown to leach chemicals that disrupt the endocrine system or are carcinogenic. Avoid BPA Polycarbonate plastics, recycle number "7," are used for sports bottles and baby bottles. Containing bisphenol-A (BPA), which is known to disrupt hormones, bottles made of polycarbonate are more prone to leach BPA if heated or if the plastic is worn. DID YOU KNOW? Choose lightweight, porous clothing when working out in hot weather and avoid changing into a dry shirt to stay cool. Evaporation requires wet clothing, so don't change out of those wet clothes while in the heat. If you compete in sports or exercise for longer than one hour, use sports drinks in addition to water to remain properly hydrated. If you don't like the taste of sports drinks, dilute fruit juice with water and add a pinch of salt. You can't judge hydration by how much you sweat. Due to an increased speed of evaporation, you will actually sweat up to 10 times more in a dryer climate than a humid climate, although you will appear to sweat less.

Former World War II prisoner of war Reggie Salisbury was honored by Moncks Corner Mayor Bill Peagler in observance of National Former POW Recognition Day on Wednesday, April 9.
Salisbury was just 19 years old when he parachuted behind enemy lines as part of an advance scout team prior to the June 6, 1944 D-Day invasion of Normandy. He was captured on Aug. 12, 1944, in France and forced to walk to Belgium and on into Germany to a POW camp.
Today, nearly 70 years later, Salisbury recounted his capture and the following 10 months spent as a prisoner of war.
The Germans told us they didnt want to mess with us, he said. They didnt want to have to deal with us. If we escaped they said they would kill us all.
By presidential proclamation April 9 is designated by Congress as the observance of National Former POW Recognition Day paying homage to the day during World War II when the largest number of U.S. soldiers were taken prisoner.
On April 9, 1942 United States forces surrendered on the Bataan Peninsula, beginning the Bataan Death March. Salisbury was freed in May of 1945 after the end of the war in Europe.
This isnt just a day to remember those who were prisoners of war during past wars, said his wife, Anne. This is also a day to fight for current prisoners of war currently in Afghanistan. I urge all of you to contact your congressman to get these prisoners of war set free.
A decorated veteran, Salisbury was companion to a Native American code talker. The Germans could never break the code talkers code and Reggie never once divulged his code talker to the enemy, his wife said.
In describing the enormity of the Normandy invasion, Reggie Salisbury once said, If you took a thousand matches and threw them in a bath tub that would somewhat show you what it looked like that day when all those boats landed.
He said there are three movies that come close to telling what the war was really like: Saving Private Ryan, Schindlers List and Wind Talkers.
Salisbury, who is the father of Berkeley County Coroner Bill Salisbury, will be honored with a mayoral proclamation during Moncks Corner Town Councils Tuesday, April 22 meeting.

Every team needs a scapegoat. We could definitely use a guy with better defensive schemes, but he isn't the reason our guys sucked.
While I'm glad McCrimmon's gone, I have to agree somewhat. In 2007-08 (when they were hungry for a cup) they were tops in goals allowed per game and third in goals scored per game. The next year, they were first in GS/G but dropped hugely to 21st in GA/G. Last year Detroit was 7th in GA/G, pretty respectable if you ask me. That year, though, they couldn't score nearly as well (due in part to the outrageous rash of injuries). This year, once again their scoring was up but defense was down. Last year, when their defensive game was better, they were 83.9% on the PK - only 0.1% lower than in our cup-winning 2007-08 season.
While McCrimmon certainly hasn't helped at all - and for that reason I support him not being brought back - there's obviously something wrong with our players' commitment. They haven't been able to bring it both offensively and defensively, there's been a tradeoff in the past few years but they have shown that they can be successful both on offense and on defense under our current coaching... just not at the same time.

The first two weeks of The Mountain Institute's Mountain Trail Monitors summer program has wrapped as a huge success, officials said, with nine trails and more than 24 miles of trail work and monitoring completed by the session's three student crews.
Groups were based in the Seneca Creek Backcountry and Laurel Fork Wilderness areas of the Monongahela National Forest, maintaining and monitoring the trail while backpacking between base camp sites.
Twenty-six Morgantown students participated in the program and received 40 hours of community service time for their efforts.
Upon returning from the field, a student said of his experience, "I don't think the people back home realize what is in their surroundings. I've never looked so closely at the little things before, and now I'm curious to learn more about them." Another exclaimed, "This is the best I've felt in 2013!"
Funding for the program comes from a grant through the U.S. Forest Service and the Secure Rural Schools Act, which invests money in the communities that use and care for federal lands. The grant awarded to TMI allows eight weeks of the program throughout the next five years.
Each trip begins with an introduction to camping, group living and the principles of sustainable trail maintenance. Days are spent working on the trails, while evenings are dedicated to wilderness skills such as camp craft, survival, fire building, Leave No Trace ethics, and map and compass reading, as well as fun campfire activities.
Following a week in the woods, participants head to Spruce Knob Mountain Center to relax before culminating their experience with a hike up Spruce Knob, the highest point in West Virginia. All food, equipment and instruction are provided without a fee to students.

I think what they showed was just a 1D X body with a red "C†stuck on it for marketing purposes.
Btw: What is the difference between a normal EF lens and a new CN lens? I've just read the aperture diaphragm is different and the CN lenses seem to have full smooth manual control (as the FD lenses). These are no reasons to announce a new mount. Have they probably fixed the very bad auto focus?
There is no autofocus capability with the CN lenses.It's quite possible that the CN lenses actually have a bigger aperture than any of the stills lenses. For example, the 50mm and 85mm are both "T1.3". The 85/1.2L is "T1.4". So it would seem safe to assume that the 85/T1.3 is a different design. The same holds true for the 50mm/1.2L (it has a T-stop of 1.4.)Next, the CN lenses do not suffer from any "focus breathing", where your 50mm/1.2 might become a 49mm or 51mm, depending on where the focus is (for example.)Lastly, the CN lenses all have accurate markings for distance and focusing that can be reliably used for focus pulling. None of the L or other lenses used for stills photography can easily be used in this manner.
Thanks, this would explain why the cinema lenses are so much more expensive than the still ones, especially the zoom ones. The mechanics to prevent the focus breathing have to be much more complicated.So canon will probably never build any low-budget cinema lenses.
If you've done your homework and planned out the shoot for your project properly, then you will know on which days you need which lenses and you will rent lenses accordingly, rather than buy.
Unfortunately mid-range clients these days want it all. Unless you can serve it up with a smile, then they'll find someone else to do it for cheaper.
QuoteLooking at the prices of the new cinema lenses, it seems videographers have no problem spending more.Just because Canon is pricing the new lenses at $45-48k for the zooms and $6,800 for EACH of the primes doesn't mean the video community can readily afford these products. At those steep prices, I'd have to have a huge project with an intense need in order to justify that expense. With most of the low and restricted mid range budgets these days, I have a feeling that many will be sticking with their current lens lineup for awhile to come.
Looking at the prices of the new cinema lenses, it seems videographers have no problem spending more.

Dallas-based 7-Eleven's 7-Election coffee cups accurately pick president again
Ok, I know there's nothing scientific here, but it's uncanny that 7-Election once again predicted the winner in the presidential race.
Dallas-based 7-Eleven Inc.'s steaming hot cup of democracy poll had President Obama ahead of Gov. Romney throughout the promotion that started in September.
In the final results, people picking a blue or red cup to fill with their morning coffee called it better than some very expensive polling and many TV pundits.
For the record: It's the fourth consecutive presidential outcome that the cups predicted. Click here to see how it predicted your state.
I'm sure the folks in One Arts Plaza are saying, "Phew!" today. (It's not a cheap promotion.)

Morrisey plans to post contracts for seeking outside legal counsel
March 22, 2013
CHARLESTON — The West Virginia Office of Attorney General announced Thursday guidelines for doing business with attorneys outside its office....
Major, I'm stupid. You're smart. I was wrong. You were right. You're the best. I'm the worst. You're very good-looking. I'm not attractive.

Major's Response: "Hey hiphopsterer. I am a a majoritarian, meaning I support the greatest good for the greatest number (hence my call-name) except when it doesn't serve my best interests, when I become an individual right advocate, and really should be called Individualist rather than Majoritarian. I make conclusory unsupported statements, as its my nature to seem confident about things for which I have no proof. Yet to confuse the world, I simply call everyone that disagrees with me a Liberal and suggest that the silent majority agrees with me, labeling them silent, so when they DON'T speak up, I can say, "see? They're silent,". Blah blah blah.

"We believe the public deserves to know who is getting paid by the state of West Virginia," Morrisey said Thursday in a telephone interview.
Then why did Morrisey keep it such a secret that his newly hired WV Solicitor General from Northern Virginia was unqualified for the job and had to be demoted, but at the same $132,000 salary, when some one blew the whistle on the new AG. Not to worry though, Morrisey will soon throw his hat into the ring for Capito's congressional seat. Living in the Eastern Panhandle as a congressman is a lot closer to his home in New Jersey than being AG in Charleston.

"BRUNSWICK, Ga. — A Georgia mother says a young gunman opened fire on her baby as she pushed him in a stroller, wounding her and killing the 1-year-old boy. Police said Friday that no suspect or weapon has been found yet in Thursday morning's shooting in Brunswick, about an hour north of Jacksonville, Fla. The mother, Sherry West, told WAWS-TV that two boys approached her and demanded money Thursday morning. West said she tried shielding the child, Antonio, but the gunman shoved her and shot the baby in the head. Based on the mother's description, police think the suspects were between 10 to 15 years old. Police were checking school attendance records for leads."
I wonder If we will see Obama shedding tears on national media about this. I also wonder if the shooters were NRA members.

This whole process makes little sense. We should not need "outside counsel" to run substantial sections of the AG'S office. Once again, the primary function of this office is ENFORCE WV's existing laws and regs, not charge about the country litigating political matters. Mr Morrissey is going to substitute HIS hired-gun buddies in the neo-con, anti-government, Old Testament thumping bar for the old crowd (which did at least raise a bunch of money for the state).

Facts Major. Present them. I believe you're confusing what is commonly referred to as the personal injury bar with the entire bar. Totally different groups. If you took the time to research the topic, I believe what you would find is that a majority of attorneys supported Morissey prior to the election. But please continue on with your conclusory unsupported statements.

Great move, Morrissey. Glad to see this approach from the AG office. McGraw so badly needed to go. The cronyism was incredible.
And Major, I'm confused. The dirty bar you refer to as bring upset by Morrissey's move -- isn't Morrissey a lawyer, and thus part of the dirty bar? Also, are not at least some of his staffers, that assisted in the development of this open contract policy, lawyers too?
Fact is, vast portions of the so-called Democratic contingency of the bar, supported Morrissey and will wholeheartedly support this policy. Seems as if your absolute classification approach failed you once again.

JOHNSTOWN - Things started off almost as well as they could for Northern Cambria, with Alex Atkins stripping the ball and recovering at the Bishop McCort 36 on the first play from scrimmage.
The bottom dropped out abruptly, though, for the Colts.
Northern Cambria was unable to capitalize on great field position the first two times it got the ball. After weathering the early troubles unscathed, McCort pounced on the Colts for 17 first-half points, then scored four touchdowns in the third quarter on its way to a 45-6 win in Saturday's District 6 Class A high school football semifinal game on Saturday night at Point Stadium.

Northern Cambria's Nate Zachesky runs the ball in the second quarter against Bishop McCort on Saturday.
"My father-in-law's a big fisherman. I said I threw everything in my tackle box at them. I couldn't get anything going," Northern Cambria coach Paul Taranto said. "I pulled all the stops out tonight. As an offensive-minded guy, you don't want to scramble. But we ran our basic stuff. It didn't work. We ran our fancy stuff. It didn't work."
Possessing some of the most explosive offensive players in the area, Northern Cambria managed just 120 yards - 60 of which came on a Derek Baker run in the third quarter that accounted for the Colts' only points.
It was the fewest points scored by the Colts in a game this season by two touchdowns. Northern Cambria finished the year 8-4.
"The defense has been the strongest part of our team all season long, especially our defensive front. They stood up tonight, and they really were able to control the line of scrimmage and to control the way the game was played," McCort coach Kevin Sheridan said.
The Crimson Crushers improved to 9-3 and will play Bellwood-Antis on Saturday, Nov. 24 at Altoona's Mansion Park for the district championship. Luke DiFrancesco scored three touchdowns - on a 55-yard pass, a 56-yard punt return and a 29-yard interception return - to lead McCort, which also got 145 yards on 19 carries from Wyatt Jackson.
"We came into the game confident," DiFrancesco said. "We know we have all the ability in the world to get this D6 championship, and we just want to get it."
DiFrancesco had two of McCort's four interceptions of Colt quarterback Jeff Hogan, who'd only been picked off seven times coming in while throwing for more than 1,100 yards. While DiFrancesco scored in the third quarter on a theft, the bigger pick might have been the one he made at his own 1 just 2:31 into the game.
After Atkins had gotten the ball for the Colts, NC drove 20 yards to the 16 before DiFrancesco's pick thwarted the drive. The Colts then got the ball back at the Crusher 34 following a short punt, but Jordan Spangler intercepted Hogan again to keep the game scoreless.
"Our defense has been playing well all year. We trust in them. We trust in each other," DiFrancesco said. "Our defensive line is the best in the [Laurel Highlands Conference]."
McCort came into the game with 30 takeaways and added five more. The defense scored another touchdown when Ryan Siwy recovered a fumbled snap on a punt in the end zone in the third quarter.
"Up front, both sides of the football, their O-line and D-line were outstanding," Taranto said. "They're a well-coached team. It's hard to get them on counters or anything."
McCort took advantage of the second interception with Zaine Tomkowski immediately going up top on a stop-and-go pattern for a 55-yard touchdown. Dustin Belskey added a 4-yard TD run and Spangler a 22-yard field goal in the second quarter.
It was a season-high scoring total for the Crushers, who enter the district final with 32 points or more in four straight games after only reaching that mark three times in their first eight contests.
"Offensively, we're still coming together. We're still learning our responsibilities and how to execute," Sheridan said.
Tomkowski scored on a 1-yard sneak, which combined with Siwy's touchdown and two DiFrancesco scores in the third quarter to bring the running clock into play and put the game out of reach of the Colts.
"I think at halftime, we still had a shot," Taranto said. "But once it snowballed out of hands with interceptions, punt returns, fumbles, I'm pretty sure any high school kid is going to hang their head."
Taranto had seven senior starters in the lineup on Saturday night, six of whom started both ways. The seniors left with a pair of district playoff wins over the last two years.
"The biggest thing I said to them was 'Thank you,'" Taranto said. "On and off the field, they're good kids. We're standing here on the Astroturf at Point Stadium in the district semifinals because of our seniors.
"It just didn't work out for us tonight."

NEVADA CITY, Calif. - The Nevada County Board of Supervisors will take on a slightly different look in 2013.
Truckee's Richard Anderson, District 5 representative, replaces Ted Owens as the eastern county representative after Anderson was sworn in by Nevada County Superior Court Judge Tom Anderson during a Monday morning ceremony.
Anderson was joined by Ed Scofield, who will serve his second consecutive term as District 2's supervisor, and Nate Beason, who will serve his third consecutive term on the board as the District 1 representative.
Anderson, former mayor of Truckee, said he is looking forward to the tutelage of both Scofield and Beason and is eager to begin.
Attracting greater business activity to Donner Summit and the possible expansion of the Truckee Library are two salient District 5 issues he believes need tackling in the coming year.
Scofield, Beason and Anderson join Hank Weston and Terry Lamphier on the five-person board for the coming year.
"A lot of people have questioned my sanity," Beason joked, adding that he ran again because he believed his experience was valuable to the board as it continues to face fiscal constraints in economically challenging times.
Scofield said the chief issue still facing the county is the medical marijuana ordinance, which is facing legal challenge and consistent political pressure.
"It's an ongoing situation, and we will see how it comes out," Scofield said.
The decision to approve or deny the Rincon Del Rio project - a 345-unit mixed-use senior living area on 210 acres that includes restaurants, gardens and offices for medical personnel - will also be a major issue that comes up in 2013, Scofield said. Both Scofield and Beason praised the more than 750 employees who comprise the Nevada County staff, saying they make the job of supervisor that much easier.
"The fact that this is such a well managed county makes people like (Nate Beason and me) want to run for additional terms," Scofield said.
The board establishes policy for the public agency that boasted a $180 million budget for the 2012-13 fiscal year and meets twice-monthly the second and fourth Tuesdays of each month at the Eric Rood Administrative Center, with occasional meetings in Truckee.
