Bend A Spoon While In Full View of the Audience!
In the 1970s, Werry developed a "psychic bending" of an object that went beyond what was being shown by the so-called "psychics" around the world.
The performer presents several plastic spoons to his audience for examination. One spoon is freely selected and signed with a permanent felt marker for later identification. The performer then holds the spoon by the bowl with just his first finger and thumb. Slowly, while in full view of the audience, the spoons starts to bend, continuing until it's bent at a 90-degree angle! Immediately the spoon may be handed out for examination, even signed and kept by a spectator as a souvenir.

Marissa Mayer: From Finland to Yahoo!
A lot of media attention was devoted to Marissa Mayer yesterday, a former Google executive, who has just been appointed CEO of Yahoo!.
Marissa, all of 37 years old(!), was one of the first 20 employees - and the first female engineer - at Google. She has been listed by Forbes on four occasions as one of America's 50 most powerful women in business.
In addition to her professional achievements, Marissa holds two degrees from Stanford, is a keen dancer and runner and has climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro.
Her appointment came as a shock to some, as on the same day it was announced, Marissa announced that she is six months pregnant.
Marissa is clearly a remarkable woman, having achieved so much professionally while still being young and family-oriented. She married Zach Bogue in 2009 and they are expecting a baby boy in October.

On the eve of hitting the big 6-0 on Feb. 2, Brinkley celebrates her birthday – and her incredible figure! – by posing in a swimsuit on the cover of this week's PEOPLE.
"I'm actually excited about turning 60," Brinkley tells PEOPLE. "I feel on top of my game."
But not game enough to wear a bikini. "My kids would be so embarrassed!" she says. "In private I may wear a bikini, but at the public beach with my kids I would change bathing suits because they do not want to be hanging out with some old broad in a bikini."
Others disagree. "She looks phenomenal," says MJ Day, senior editor for Sports Illustrated's swimsuit issue (Sports Illustrated is a sister publication of PEOPLE). "She has the legs of a 30-year-old and the face of an angel. She's what you aspire to look like at 60. She's mind-blowingly beautiful."
In this week's issue, Brinkley spells out all of her stay-young secrets, from her daily diet to all the beauty tricks to looking half her age.
But after four divorces, including an explosive public divorce trial with architect Peter Cook in 2008, Brinkley credits her three kids – musician Alexa Ray Joel, 28, college freshman Jack Brinkley-Cook, 18, and up-and-coming model Sailor Brinkley-Cook, 15 – as her fountain of youth and her motivation to focus on a healthy lifestyle.
"Because I'm an older mom, I have a responsibility to my kids as well as myself," she says. "I want to be there for them."
For more about Brinkley's diet and fitness regimen, and how she really feels about dating again, pick up this week's issue of PEOPLE, on newsstands now

On Fox's groundbreaking 1990s sketch-comedy show "In Living Color," actor and comedian Damon Wayans made millions of TV viewers laugh with his portrayals of characters like Homey D. Clown and "Men on Film" co-host Blaine Edwards. Many of today's TV viewers probably are more familiar with his oldest son, Damon Wayans Jr., co-star of ABC's sitcom "Happy Endings."
So it's not too surprising that the elder Wayans – now a 52-year-old father of four and grandfather of five – pretty much flew under the radar at Macworld/iWorld in San Francisco. After all, he wasn't onstage like actors Ashton Kutcher and Fred Armisen. And he wasn't speaking at any of the Macworld/iWorld sessions. Although accompanied by a security guard, Wayans largely went unnoticed among the hundreds of folks attending the conference and striving to broaden their knowledge of iPhones and iPads and apps.
In an exclusive interview, Wayans told Allvoices that he was paying his first-ever visit to Macworld/iWorld to absorb the latest information about apps.
Ever the funnyman with a keen sense of comedic timing, Wayans initially cracked a joke when asked why he was at Macworld/iWorld: "I really just wanted to get my computer fixed. They told me to go to Macworld; I thought it was a Mac store."
During the interview with Allvoices, Wayans whipped out his iPad to show off a yet-to-be-released drinking-game app from his business, MIMS (Money In My Sleep).
Wayans, who starred in the ABC sitcom "My Wife and Kids" and has appeared in several major movies, said he grew intrigued by technology after establishing WayoutTV.com. The now-defunct website, which launched in 2008, was designed to be an incubator for online-only entertainment programs. Wayans said he was "a little bit ahead" of his time with WayoutTV.com.
"Going that route helped me to have an appreciation for technology," he said of WayoutTV.com. "Now I'm like, 'You know what? Acting is a sucker's game.' It's about (content) distribution."
Wayans' recent entry into the world of app development prompted him to sit in on two days of sessions at Macworld/iWorld.
At the conference, "what I've learned is I don't know anything. I thought I knew a lot about (technology)," Wayans said. "Technology is moving so fast. When you think of a great idea, someone's already got it in the app store."
Wayans plans to have two of MIMS' apps available for sale fairly soon.
For Allvoices, he demonstrated a drinking-game app called "Wet It." He said the app's original name, "The Pissing Contest," was rejected by Apple. As the app's name implies, a user can direct a virtual stream of urine to, say, douse a fire or melt a snowman. The more alcohol you swig, the more difficult the urine-aiming task gets.
"I basically want to be a curator of apps," Wayans said. "There are a lot of people who never get the opportunity (to develop apps). They have ideas, but they don't have a clue how to execute . … (I'm) trying to take my experience and help to teach other people how to not have my experience."
Referring to the "make money in your sleep" meaning behind the name of his business, Wayans said: "That's what's wonderful about the app world. It's global, and you put it out there and if you put the right thing out there, it catches fires. And you wake up the next day, and you're a millionaire." In an apparent nod to the richer years of his career, Wayans paused before adding: "Again."

Product Questions
Feeding bottles are sold separately.
I have a question about how the reef chili product (as well as reef roids) is used to feed sps corals. I have various acropora, seriotopora, pocillopora, and montipora in my tank. They're all doing well but I've read these products will increase color, polyp extension, and growth. How does this work since the sps corals don't seem to consume the food directly as do lps or anemones. Do sps absorb dissolved amino acids or other nutrients from the water added via these foods? How should I best use these foods to benefit my sps corals?
Thanks, John
For the most part Reef chili is designed for more soft corals and LPS which can take food directly. With SPS you will not need to supplement with reef shili rather using amino acid and other trace elements to supplement SPS. Feel free to let us know if you have any further questions!
In short the answer is no, unfortunately the food would being to have issue and decay rather quickly as well as settle down to the bottom of a container. Feel free to let us know if you have any further questions!
The dosage can be done one to 5 times a week depending on your system and likeliness of the corals to consume the food. Usually one to two times per week is common. Around 1 spoonful per 20 gallons will work well and it can be target fed if needed! Feel free to let us know if you have any further questions!
it is a great idea to stop the return pump from taking away the left over food. In most cases this can be as little as 5 minutes. Feel free to let us know if you have any further questions!
We actually pack the spoon inside of the bottle so you may need to do a little digging to find it. If you still can't find it let us know and we will get one sent out right away. You can call our Customer Service team at 763-432-9691.
The measuring spoon is actually 1/32 of a teaspoon so for the time being I would say just add a pinch of Reef Chili instead of a scoop.
Hope this helps!
Have a great day :)
By protecting the coral when feeding by using an upside down cup with a hole drilled to allow the turkey baster or feeding device through you can protect the corals from shrimp and fish. Feel free to let us know if you have any further questions!
Great question,
Reef Chili will stay fresh for 3-4 months at room temperature. Reef Chili will stay fresh in the fridge for 9-12 months depending on how humid and cold your fridge is. For maximum freshness always make sure to keep the cap on tight. Any time after these dates and we recommend replacing the reef chili.
Reef chili is designed for a wide variety of corals which accept supplemental food. This is a fantastic source of nutrition for a Lobophylia and many other LPS and Softies. Feel free to let us know if you have any further questions!
Full Details
Instructions: Suggest using every other day and adjust to your tanks needs.
1: Use the included portion spoon and add one level spoonful per 20 gallons to a half cup of tank water.
2: Shake the mixture vigorously for 30 seconds.
3: Either pour the mixture directly into the tank or target feed each coral with a syringe.
Each jar of BRS Reef Chili includes directions and a measuring spoon.
Reef Chili was originally created as a frozen fish/coral food and it worked out great, except for one thing, cost! Shipping frozen products overnight around the country is simply too expensive. Bulk Reef Supply co-founder Ryan made this product because he was tired of trying to feed his tank a dozen different things to keep all the corals and fish healthy and colorful. He also wanted to achieve faster growth rates from some of his slow growing frags and see his otherwise nocturnal corals come "alive" during the day with the lights on. All these products were frozen, expensive to ship and none of them are sold by the same vendor. He soon realized that none of this was necessary! He could make a 100% nutritionally complete food that didn't need to be frozen. Better yet, it can be done for just a few dollars a month.
Due to customs restrictions we are unable to ship this product to Canada
All the key ingredients are included in BRS Reef Chili:
- Bio-engineered Zooplankton
- Spray Dried Phytoplankton Freeze Dried Rotifers
- Freeze Dried Copepods
- Dried Daphnia
- Spirulina Powder
- Artemia Nauplii Replacement Diet
With this much variety you can feel safe knowing that you have done your best to meet the nutritional needs of every filter feeder in your tank. There is absolutely no need to use any other products.
My corals love it By Earl on 9/14/2016Earl would recommend this product to a friendI feed this about once or sometimes twice a week and my corals thrive. I have to do it after lights out because my fish like it too. I target feed my acans but broadcast feed everything else.
Amazing! By Shane on 9/12/2016Shane would recommend this product to a friendWhat an amazing product. I've tried endless foods on the market over the last 5 years and this stuff gets the most feeding response from my coral. I wish I had known about this product years ago. This stuff goes a long way, is very reasonably priced, and works. What more could you ask for. Thanks BRS for another amazing product!
Another excellent product By William on 8/21/2016William wouldn't recommend this product to a friendI was skeptical when I bought it, but I figured it was worth a shot. I mixed some up in the bottle and fogged off a few shots near the power heads and there were polyps coming out of places that I didn't even know had polyps. I began to target feed with my Julian's thing that also arrived with the reef chili and I've noticed growth on all of my corals in my mixed reef tank. I know this food is not necessarily geared toward SPS corals but they have the most noticeable growth of all! My wife noticed them...my WIFE noticed them! Great stuff so far, I'm feeding every other day. I tested for ammonia, phosphate, nitrates and nitrites and they are all normal after about 3 feedings over the course of 5 days.
BEST By Rafael on 8/20/2016Rafael wouldn't recommend this product to a friendBEST AND EASY TO USE.
HIGHLY recommended By FLSharkvictim on 6/27/2016FLSharkvictim would recommend this product to a friendMy filter Feeders love this stuff, especially my Coco Worms and my Massive Toadstool..
This is the only product I feed my soft corals with..
Great Coral Food By Zachary on 6/6/2016Zachary would recommend this product to a friendI decided to pick some of this up to mix in with mysis shrimp when I feed some of the corals in my tank. I must say, corals love it! One squirt of that in the water and coral polyps are extended and ready for more! All my corals have definitely benefited from Reef Chili.
Good stuff By Kurt on 6/2/2016Kurt would recommend this product to a friendCorals appear to like it. I've used it for years to add some additional food for filter feeders, corals. And fish love it too
corals opened right up and fish went crazy By Victoria on 5/20/2016Victoria would recommend this product to a friendOnly complaint is in the questions it says the feeding jar isn't included but it is so now ive got an extra. No biggy. Was able to get my mushroom that has never showed any responce to red sea reef energy or any fish feedings to open its mouth wide.
Good Stuff By sneub on 3/15/2016sneub would recommend this product to a friendCoral seem to like, I alternate with Reef Energy, fish go crazy when I feed the coral with this product!
Corals growin good! By Bruce on 2/10/2016Bruce would recommend this product to a friendUse for mainly SPS, I make my own food for the tank by grinding up shrimp, scallops squid, mix in some chopped seaweed/algae sheets, fish eggs, reef chili and other stuff, freeze and use. feeds everything in the tank in one shot and corals are doing well.
great By Ruben on 2/1/2016Ruben would recommend this product to a friendeverything in the tank loves it
Product should be called Reef Crack By Nicole on 1/7/2016Nicole would recommend this product to a friendSo first time using this stuff, I tried target feeding..well it scared my Kenya tree into hiding but popped right back out immediately after realizing what it was. Next thing I know my hermit crabs, trocus snail you name it starts coming out of the wood work trying to eat this stuff. My hermit crabs especially have started attacking each other over this stuff.

hello mr apple meet mr orange now pop up the mtfs of the 50 1.4 and the 50 1.8 @ f2.8
Quote from: wickidwombat on June 17, 2012, 06:47:15 PMhello mr apple meet mr orange now pop up the mtfs of the 50 1.4 and the 50 1.8 @ f2.8 You need to get out of the orchard and head to school - MTF-101 is the class you need to take. The 40/2.8 is better wide open (which is a relative measure). Comparing one lens wide open at f/2.8 to faster lenses stopped down to f/2.8 would, indeed, be comparing apples to oranges - that's why we also compare at f/8. The 40/2.8 is better at f/8 (which is as close as you're going to get to an absolute measure in this case). Therefore, the 40/2.8 delivers better sharpness based on MTF50. Granted - that says nothing about color, bokeh, flare, etc.
well I ordered mine yesterday and got it today. It is a great walk around lens, the camera (5D MKIII) just feels like I am walking about with a body only. Also the focusing is quieter and seems much faster than my EF 50mm 1.4, havent tried in low light yet.Photos shot as RAW, default Lightroom profile, no further processing1/125 f2.8 ISO 4001/125 f2.8 ISO 1601/800 f6.3 ISO 1001/125 f6.3 ISO 160

Let's try a different subject.
If your house catches fire, what's the obligation of the fire department? I think everyone believes it is the job of the department to douse the flames, but that apparently is not the case. The job of the fire department is to make sure that the fire consuming your house doesn't cause greater public damage. This has been a growing issue because of the two largest problems confronting fire departments arising out of hoarding–danger to the firefighters having to navigate clogged houses burning hotter because of fuel, and the cost to towns of multiple alarms to fight these enhanced fires. When a house is known to be cluttered, some towns are taking the position that they do not have to go in–they only need to contain. Some towns are going further-they want hoarders to either register with the town so that the town can make a determination not to go in, or they want the hoarder to pay the enhanced cost of fire suppression. This hasn't been raised as a serious issue in Massachusetts yet, although its becoming an issue in Florida and California. A house fire in Wayland this week may put the issue squarely on the burner. A large accumulation of material in a home required three fire departments to douse the flames, making this� a costly fire for the towns.
Who should pay for it? The homeowner? The taxpayers, who might have other priorities? The insurance company for the homeowner, who might even disclaim coverage on the grounds that the excess material was the proximate cause of loss and not the flames? The issue is coming soon to a town near you, so be ready for it.

Just out of curiosity, who are these younger, faster guys who are capable of scoring? Are they available in this summer's UFA group? I don't think so. This is an extraordinarily weak summer for scorers. The team has a large amount of cap space, and Jagr can be had for a year without boxing anybody else out.
As for Richards---given your penchant for wanting instant gratification (i.e. at the trade deadline every year)--it wouldn't surprise me if you thought Holland should throw $8m at him.
It's a good thing you're so incredibly up in arms about this. After all, we on this board will be the ones who will actually determine whether or not Jagr will actually be a member of the organization. Did you not know that?
True, but I still believe it's better to wait until July 1st to throw some offers around than to offer 2 mil to a question mark player before FA even begins. Who knows, maybe Richards would be willing to come at a cheaper price for a multi-year deal or sign a discounted one year for a chance at the cup (ala Hossa).....not super likely, but still possible. Plus, there ARE other guys that would be a better pickup than Jagar for 2 mil. For example, I think Laich at 3 - 3.5 is mil a ton better than Jagar at 2 mil. Signing Jagar for that amount would just significantly reduce our options. 1 mil I could deal with, but 2.....come on.
The dude has played in Russia for the last 3 freakin years. Can't you guys understand the impact this will have? I mean, we all know it did wonders for Hudler. It's simply a huge risk to sign the guy after that kind of stint, not to mention to do so at 39.

Just when we all thought that things
were finally dying down
for Microsoft in the European Commission-based anti-trust case there is
more fuel to add to the fire.
Opera Software ASA, maker of the
Opera web browser,
yesterday officially
filed a complaint with the European Commission regarding
inclusion of Internet Explorer with Windows. Opera wants the EU to
Microsoft to provide users with a choice of web browser to use.
"We are filing this complaint on
behalf of all
consumers who are tired of having a monopolist make choices for them,"
said Opera CEO Jon von Tetzchner. "In addition to promoting the free
choice of individual consumers, we are a champion of open Web standards
cross-platform innovation. We cannot rest until we've brought fair and
equitable options to consumers worldwide."
Opera is seeking the following
actions from the EU to
"keep Microsoft in line" with respects to its competitors:
"Our complaint is necessary to get
Microsoft to amend
its practices," said Jason Hoida, Deputy General Counsel for Opera.
"The European Court of First Instance confirmed in September that
Microsoft has illegally tied Windows Media Player to Windows. We are
asking the Commission to apply these same, clear principles to the
Explorer tie, a tie that has even more profound effects on consumers
As many may recall, Microsoft finally
gave up its fight with the EU in late October. The Redmond,
Washington-based company came under fire for its monopolistic business
practices in Europe and was ordered to pay a fine of $710 million USD.
In addition, Microsoft was also
forced to provide interoperability
information to its software competitors and reduce the royalties for
software licenses and patents. To add insult to injury, Microsoft was
forced to pay 80 percent of the European Commission's legal
quote: The basis that Microsoft has used you all as willing idiots to test out the sub-par operating system for the last 15 years should be ample reason to support Opera. However, I can see by nearly everyones previous opinion, that only a few actually touched on the point that Microsuck continues not to adhere to the RFC from the w3c. ( and you wonder why you have so much crap on that POS O/S and have to reformat nearly once a year.) Thank gawd -- there is linux and bsd - so we don't have to listen to such medicore minds continously. GO get 'em Opera stick it in the gizzard and Twist!!

WATERTOWN, Mass. -- With Boston virtually paralyzed, thousands of officers with rifles and armored vehicles swarmed the streets in and around the city on Friday, hunting for a 19-year-old college student wanted in the Boston Marathon bombing after his older brother and alleged accomplice was killed in a furious getaway attempt overnight.
During the long night of violence, the brothers killed an MIT police officer, severely wounded another lawman and hurled explosives at police in a car chase and gun battle, authorities said.
The suspects were identified by law enforcement officials and family members as Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev, ethnic Chechen brothers who had lived in Dagestan, which neighbors Chechnya in southern Russia. They had been in the U.S. for about a decade, an uncle said, and were believed to be living in Cambridge, Mass.
Tamerlan Tsarnaev, a 26-year-old who had been known to the FBI as Suspect No. 1 and was seen in surveillance footage of the marathon in a black baseball cap, was killed overnight, officials said. His younger brother, who had been dubbed Suspect No. 2 and was seen wearing a white, backward baseball cap in the images from Monday's deadly bombing — escaped and was on the run.
Their uncle in Maryland, Ruslan Tsarni, pleaded on live television: "Dzhokhar, if you are alive, turn yourself in and ask for forgiveness."
Authorities in Boston suspended all mass transit and warned close to 1 million people in the entire city and some of its suburbs to stay indoors as the hunt for Suspect No. 2 went on. Businesses were asked not to open. People waiting at bus and subway stops were told to go home. The Red Sox and Bruins postponed their games.
From Watertown to Cambridge, police SWAT teams, sharpshooters and FBI agents surrounded various buildings as police helicopters buzzed overhead and armored vehicles rumbled through the streets. Authorities also searched trains.
"We believe this man to be a terrorist," said Boston Police Commissioner Ed Davis. "We believe this to be a man who's come here to kill people."
The bombings on Monday killed three people and wounded more than 180 others, tearing off limbs in a spray of shrapnel and instantly raising the specter of another terrorist attack on U.S. soil.
Chechnya was the scene of two wars between Russian forces and separatists since 1994, in which tens of thousands were killed in heavy Russian bombing. That spawned an Islamic insurgency that has carried out deadly bombings in Russia and the region, although not in the West.
Investigators in the Boston case have shed no light on the motive for the bombing and have said it is unclear whether it was the work of domestic or international terrorists or someone else entirely with an unknown agenda.
The endgame — at least for Suspect No. 1 — came just hours after the FBI released photos and video of the two young men at the marathon's finish line and appealed to the public for help in identifying and capturing them.
State Police spokesman Dave Procopio said police realized they were dealing with the bombing suspects based on what the two men told a carjacking victim during their getaway attempt overnight.
Tsarni, the men's uncle, said that the brothers traveled here together from Russia. He angrily called his nephews "losers" and said they had struggled to settle themselves in the U.S. and ended up "thereby just hating everyone."
Tamerlan Tsarnaev had studied accounting as a part-time student at Bunker Hill Community College in Boston for three semesters from 2006 to 2008, the school said. U.S. government officials, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not allowed to talk about an investigation in progress, said that he Tsarnaev traveled to Russia last year and returned to the U.S. six months later.
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was registered as a student at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth and lived in a dormitory there, according to other students. Students there said he was on campus this week after the bombings. The university closed down along with colleges around the Boston area as the search unfolded.
Their father, Anzor Tsarnaev, said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press from the Russian city of Makhachkala that his younger son, Dzhokhar, is "a true angel." He said his son was studying medicine.
"He is such an intelligent boy. We expected him to come on holidays here," the father said.
The city of Cambridge announced two years ago that it had awarded a $2,500 scholarship to Dzhokar Tsarnaev, who was listed as a senior at Cambridge Rindge & Latin School, a highly regarded public school whose alumni include Matt Damon, Ben Affleck and NBA star Patrick Ewing.
The images released by the FBI depict the two young men walking one behind the other amid spectators at the race. Richard DesLauriers, FBI agent in charge in Boston, said Suspect No. 2 in the white hat was seen setting down a bag at the site of the second of two deadly explosions.
Exactly how the long night of crime began is unclear. Police said they had conflicting reports on whether the brothers robbed a 7-Eleven in Cambridge, near the campus of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, on Thursday night.
They then shot to death an MIT police officer, 26-year-old Sean Collier, while he was responding to a report of a disturbance, investigators said.
From there, authorities said, the two men carjacked a man in a Mercedes-Benz, keeping him with them in the car for half an hour before releasing him at a gas station in Cambridge. The man was not injured.
The search for the vehicle led to a chase that ended in Watertown, where authorities said the suspects threw explosive devices from the car and exchanged gunfire with police. A transit police officer was severely wounded, authorities said.
Doctors at a Boston hospital where Tamerlan Tsarnaev died said they treated a man with a possible blast injury and multiple gunshot wounds. Authorities gave no details on how his younger brother escaped.
Watertown resident Kayla Dipaolo, 25, was waiting for a bus that was to evacuate her and others from their neighborhood.
She said she was woken up overnight by gunfire and a large explosion that sounded "like it was right next to my head ... and shook the whole house." She was looking at the front door when a bullet came through the side paneling. SWAT team officers were running all over her yard, she said.
"It was very scary," she said. "There are two bullet holes in the side of my house and by the front door there is another."
Christine Yajko said she heard two loud explosions and gunfire. She said a police officer later knocked on her door and told her there was an undetonated improvised explosive device in the street and warned her to stay away from the windows.
"It was on the street, right near our kitchen window," she said.
As officers fanned out across the Boston area, Bryce Acosta came out of his Cambridge home with his hands up.
"I had like 30 FBI guys come storm my house with assault rifles," he said. They yelled, "Is anybody in there?" and began searching his house and an adjacent shed, leaving after about 10 minutes.
Insurgents from Chechnya and neighboring restive provinces in the Caucasus have been involved in terror attacks in Moscow and other places in Russia.
In 2002, a group of Chechen militants took 800 people hostage in Moscow and held them for two days before special forces stormed the building, killing all 41 captors. Also killed were 129 hostages, mostly from the effects of the gas Russian forces used to subdue the attackers.
Chechen insurgents also launched a 2004 raid in the southern Russian town of Beslan and took hundreds of hostages. The siege ended in a bloodbath two days later, with more than 330 people, about half of them children, killed.

Visitors seeking information about places to eat, shop, sleep or play in Randolph County have an updated and improved resource.
The Randolph County Convention and Visitors Bureau launched a redesigned website, www.randolphcountywv.com, on Sept. 1. The new website features lists of local businesses and monthly festivals throughout the county as well as upcoming community events, attractions and venues for weddings.
"What excites me most about our new website is the interactive map," said Brenda Pritt, executive director of the Randolph County Convention and Visitors Bureau. "The map shows visitors where the businesses, historic markers and events are located throughout the county and region. They can easily map the route from their smart phone."
The new website was programmed so that it automatically conforms to the type of mobile device the visitor uses, making it easy to use and navigate.
"Having a mobile- and tablet-friendly website is extremely important in today's marketplace," Pritt said. "Tourism represents a large part of our local economy, and the new layout will help visitors take advantage of all Randolph County has to offer."
The new website also showcases the Randolph County CVB's new logo.
"When we redesigned the logo in the spring we were looking for something fun that captured the personality of the area," Pritt said. "Our new logo is all of that and more. It plays off of the 'Do U' in our name. We are using the new logo and tagline - 'What do u do? Do Randolph County!'- in all of our marketing and branding efforts."
As the new website indicates, Randolph County is a beautiful, mountainous and scenic area that features prime outdoor recreation and rich cultural heritage.
"Our new website focuses mainly on what Randolph County has to offer visitors and residents," Pritt said. "We separated our events and activities from those in the surrounding counties."
Other features of the website include a listing of today's events on the home page, a newsletter sign-up form and photo and video galleries.
"The calendar of events is the most popular page on our website," Pritt noted. "We provide a list of all of the visitor and family-friendly activities throughout the county. Whether people are looking for information on fishing or fashion shopping, dining or lodging locations, they can find it on our new website."
Businesses or organizations who want a listing on the new website or their event on the calendar need to call 304-636-2780, email email@example.com or stop by the office located at 1302 N. Randolph Ave., Elkins.

on March 25, 2013 - 11:27 PM
, updated March 26, 2013 at 2:47 AM
It's becoming almost routine for officials of Metro Rail – yet another delay in the program to rebuild all 27 vehicles roaming the Buffalo subway.
Following the last setback in March 2011, officials of the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority confidently predicted the next group of rebuilt transit cars would return to Buffalo rails no later than January 2012.
But now the NFTA acknowledges the program is again significantly behind schedule, with a new batch of Metro Rail cars still undergoing rehabilitation in a Southern Tier shop, more than a year after they were last slated to return to Buffalo.
"We are obviously not pleased with running behind our most recently stated schedule," said NFTA spokesman C. Douglas Hartmayer.
Now, Hartmayer said, the $45 million "midlife rebuild program" is more than three years late – and six months behind the latest extended target date.
NFTA officials have summoned executives of the prime contractor on the job – Italian-based AnsaldoBreda Inc. (ABI) – to Buffalo today in hopes of getting some answers. Also at issue will be the possibility of collecting ABI's $24 million performance bond, which was put up to ensure the project would be done on time.
All of this comes as no surprise to Hornell Mayor Shawn D. Hogan, an outspoken critic of the NFTA and ABI. For several years now, Hogan has blasted the NFTA and ABI for failing to force a timely program and for the delays that resulted in layoffs at a Hornell subcontractor called Gray Manufacturing Inc.
In fact, despite NFTA claims that the next set of transit cars would be returned to Buffalo no later than January 2012, Hogan predicted two years ago it would be at least March 2013 before they would leave AnsaldoBreda's new facility in Dansville.
Now the NFTA says the best that can be expected is for just one car to be returned to Buffalo in April. Four cars are being rebuilt in Dansville.
Hogan said the NFTA's acknowledgment of continuing problems and a three-year delay should compel it to call in the $24 million performance bond AnsaldoBreda posted with the authority.
"I just think the citizens of Buffalo deserve delivery on a contract awarded almost seven years ago," Hogan said. "And it is my business because the lack of performance by ABI is costing my community jobs from which it will never recover."
Hartmayer said the NFTA hopes to get to the bottom of the problems today.
"We expect the president of ABI to attend, to answer questions as to why we have fallen behind," Hartmayer said, adding that questions about the delays should be directed to ABI.
Antonio Torcia, AnsaldoBreda's project manager in Dansville, did not return several calls from The Buffalo News seeking comment.
Hartmayer said the possibility of collecting ABI's $24 million performance bond to ensure a timely project will be discussed at today's meeting.
The midlife rebuild program, designed to add at least another 20 years of service to the Metro Rail subway cars built in Japan during the early 1980s, has been plagued by problems from the beginning and is now being done at its third plant.
ABI first subcontracted much of the work to the SuperSteel Inc. locomotive assembly plant in the Schenectady County Town of Glenville back in 2008.
But SuperSteel's bankruptcy forced AnsaldoBreda to then move the work to Gray Manufacturing in Hornell, a spinoff of transit-car manufacturing facilities taking root there in recent years. But two years ago, ABI left Gray Manufacturing with only disassembly duties for Metro Rail cars, after rebuilding was assigned to its new facility at the former Foster-Wheeler plant in nearby Dansville.
The NFTA said at the time it expected no delays to result. But now it acknowledges that more delays lie ahead.
David Gray, president of Gray Manufacturing, said AnsaldoBreda is now experiencing the complexities of the NFTA assignment. He noted that when the Italian firm stripped Gray Manufacturing of much of its role in the project, it forced his company to seek work from other major transit systems. While he called that a good development for Gray Manufacturing, he noted that the company has never fully recovered the jobs lost from losing most of the NFTA contract.
"We're still reeling," he said. "Our employee level now is 12 rather than 24."
Gray also questioned why the NFTA has not called in the $24 million performance bond AnsaldoBreda posted. He labeled Hogan a "soothsayer and the only one who got it right."
Hogan, meanwhile, said he remains concerned about how the NFTA has handled the project and the resulting effects on Hornell as well as Buffalo commuters.
"Obviously, ABI has not performed well for the NFTA," Hogan said. "Why don't they just call off the contract?"

LEWISTOWN - As the merger between the two entities moves forward, Lewistown Hospital and Geisinger officials addressed issues discussed by The Concerned Physicians and Practitioners of Mifflin and Juniata Counties, a group opposing the change.
The opposition group had previously brought to light a number of arguments against the merger, including the topics of transparency, document disclosure, jobs, threat of monopoly, patient cost and past proxy voting.
In response, Frank Trembulak, executive vice president and chief operating officer of Geisinger Health System, explained to the community and hospital employees that, though these questions can be answered in a general sense now, the merger is still in the very early stages and, as more specific details become available, information will be shared.
"Today we can only answer questions that are very high level which is not satisfactory to most people," Trembulak said. "We are just kicking off the information process on Friday, getting teams together from Lewistown Hospital and Geisinger to look...at how different things are accomplished today and how we can do them in the future."
The hospital's future, said Glenn Steele Jr., Geisinger president and CEO, is not something to be afraid of. The merger with Geisinger is a tool to increase jobs, resources and programs offered by the hospital to its community, he said.
"The rationale for this process is not operational ineptness as (hospital president and CEO) Kay (Hamilton), her colleagues and the professional staff have a very viable community hospital," Steele said. "The reason they were looking to do something, whether it was with us or someone else, is because of the amount of investment that is necessary. It's because the hospital is small and the resources are limited in a small community."
If programs are built correctly in the coming years, the number of jobs will only increase, Steele said. For every doctor the hospital recruits in the future, four more support staff will be hired, he said.
Additionally, where certain departments require a more efficient structure, effectively making certain jobs redundant, those employees that are displaced will be offered another position within the Lewistown Hospital system, Steele said.
"What we will do is move to the most efficient structure we possibly can," Steele said. "But we aren't coming in here to constrict. We have made a commitment to keep the acute care services open for eight years at least."
Along with program building, Geisinger is committed to keeping the level of care at affordable costs that Lewistown Hospital is known for by continuing to accept insurances that already exist in the local market, Steele said.
"First of all, as a provider, 70 percent of our non-Medicare/Medicade business is paid through non-Geisinger insurance," Steels said. "Only 30 percent is paid for through Geisinger insurance. However, the fact that we are both an insurer and a provider in the same company at Geisinger allows us to actually do things that most providers can never do with most insurers."
Referred to as the sweet spot, the 30 percent of patients that use Geisinger insurance as well as health services allows Geisinger to provide better care by creating a payment system based on quality of care as opposed to units of work, Steele said.
Geisinger is also required by the Attorney General to have market based contract rates with the insurers, Trembulak said. However, Geisinger has no say how the insurers interpret that contract into a policy offering and a premium that is then sold to employers, he said.
"The insurers can offer high deductible plans and co-pay plans causing employers to shift their choice of insurers," Trembulak said. "It's easier to connect the dots to the cost of care, but the insurance provider is also making sure they make their profit."
In an effort to further reduce costs, Geisinger will also be adding a 24/7 urgent care facility, Steele said. That way, individuals who don't have a true emergency don't have to come to the emergency room and pay the associated fees, he said.
"The classic rip-off is when a patient comes to the emergency room for an aspirin and gets a bill for $30," Steele said. "Urgent care is something that's convenient and can get as much non-emergent volume out of that emergency room as possible."
These agreements, programs and commitments are all bullet-points that are listed in the letter of intent, signed by Lewistown Hospital and Geisinger Health System, Hamilton said. Though these topics may be discussed, the specific document, in addition to the original Request for Proposal, is a proprietary confidential document that, legally, cannot be shown to those outside the Board of Directors, she said.
"In one of the early meetings, with the physicians and other parties, the comment was made that they would be able to see the request for proposal," Hamilton said. "We subsequently learned from our legal counsel they would not be able to. The documents are legally confidential so they can't see the actual documents, but they can know what the bullet points are and that's what we have been talking about."
In fact, such physicians and staff will be involved with the various program development that will be included in the definitive agreement, or final contract, Hamilton said. At that point, the participating group, including independent physicians and those working for the hospital, will know all merger details, she added.
When the definitive agreement is complete, it will go to the Board of Directors for voting and the vote for change in ownership will go to the corporate members, Hamilton said. The concern that final votes will be by proxy because proxy votes were used previously are unfounded as the corporate members were not involved with any previous vote, she said.
"I have no idea where that came from because there was no proxy vote or any vote for the corporate membership," Hamitlon said. "The corporate memberships only vote by the bylaws on the election of directors, a change in bylaws or a change in ownership. So there was no vote for the letter of intent."
Within the next week, Lewistown Hospital will be activating an online link for the local community and hospital community to anonymously submit questions, which Hamilton will personally answer. All questions and answers will then be posted to the website at www.lewistownhospital.org.

It is the dreaded New Year's Day hangover time. Your head is spinning, your mouth is dry and your body feels like you have gone a round with Mike Tyson.
With the first big night out of the year behind us, we have come up with our top ten Irish hangover cures that are guaranteed to take the edge off the pain in 2016.
1. Raw Eggs
Two raw eggs for breakfast and two more for lunch. Sworn to be successful by some major drunkards who claim the eggs neutralize the ethanol, also known as alcohol, in your system.
2. Two Advil every four hours
Stands to reason that getting rid of the pounding headache is the first priority. Advil does that so simple right? Well, maybe, if not, try Tylenol.
3. Water, water
Buckets of it to rehydrate yourself. Alcohol dries up the system so the only way is to swallow water by the gallon. Some claim drinking it the night before, before you fall asleep, works even better .
4. Sauna
Sweat the alcohol out, but be careful because you need to keep re-hydrated. Besides, who has a sauna?
5. Pickles
Polish peoples swear by them, something to do with high energy food. I don't know but the Poles sure know how to drink their vodka so they may have a secret or two.
6. Full Irish Breakfast
Nothing like a full Irish breakfast to get you back on the road to recovery. Normally eating something can help reduce the effects of alcohol excess and this is especially true when it comes to an Irish breakfast.
Go the full hog with bacon, sausages, black and white pudding, mushrooms, fried tomato, fried eggs, soda bread, spud bread, baked beans and lashings of tea.
If you don't die of a heart attack, your hangover will be cured.
7. Swim in the Atlantic
Nothing like a dip in the sub-zero Atlantic to banish the hangover blues. It may seem like an insane idea, but the shock to your system of running into the cold water will instantly refresh your mind and body.
Please ensure you are fully sober when trying this out and always have a flask of hot tea on hand for when you exit.
If this seems too extreme, then a walk in the fresh air will also help.
8. Vats of tea with friends
There are few things in Ireland that cannot be cured with a cup of tea. When that hangover feeling sets in, throw on the kettle, get the teapot ready and find your largest mug.
If lucky enough to still be in the company of friends, the ultimate cure involves sitting around for a post mortem of the previous night's events, sipping hot cups of Irish tea. Ah, delicious!
9. Duvet day complete with favorite films
If your hangover is particularly intense then abandon all hope of leaving the house and just stay in bed for the day. Getting your laptop geared up, order some food in perhaps and just relax in the comfort of your home.
Leaving the house today is not an option.
10. The Cure - Hair of the dog
Essentially a very Irish answer to a hangover is to get right back up on that high stool and order another drink. "The hair of the dog" can often be the best solution to that horrific headache. When it seems nothing can take the edge away, just breathe a sigh of inevitability as you walk through the door of your local pub, retracing your movements from the night before. If you can't beat the hangover then distill it.
So there you have it. A few guidelines to beating the effects of the night before. Let us know how you they work for you!

Kelly Clarkson Shouts Out 'Sexy' Fiancé in Grammy Acceptance Speech
Kelly Clarkson took home best pop vocal album – and possibly best acceptance speech of the night at Sunday's Grammy Awards.
Clarkson, 30, made her way to the stage, explaining why it took her so long to get up there.
"So sorry, I got stuck to Miranda Lambert ... there's a story and a song, for later ... after alcohol, I'm just kidding, children," she said with a laugh.
Despite admitting, "I get nervous speaking in front of people," Clarkson was charming at the podium, holding her Grammy for Stronger.
"I didn't know I was gonna win because I literally – I was so excited to be in a category – fun., I have been covering you all summer. I'm sorry, I love that song. I think it's so awesome. I love Pink, everyone – Adele – that I was in the category with," she said shouting out her fellow nominees.
"Miguel? I don't know the hell you are but we need to sing together, I mean good God that was the sexiest thing I've ever seen. WHAT!?" she said as the audience laughed, referencing the singer's performance of "Adorn" with Wiz Khalifa earlier in the show.
But Miguel wasn't the only sexy man to be mentioned in Clarkson's speech. She managed to squeeze in a nod to her fiancé Brandon Blackstock, too.
"Anyway thank you so much friends family label my manager, thank you so much, my fiancé who is sexy tonight, y'all," she said. "I did not think I was gonna win, thank you!"

Neuroscience and the Future of Personhood and Responsibility
Stephen Morse
University of Pennsylvania Law School
April 4, 2012
U of Penn Law School, Public Law Research Paper No. 12-26
Constitution 3.0: Freedom and Technological Change, Jeffrey Rosen, Benjamin Wittes eds., Brookings Institution Press, 2011
This is a chapter in a book, Constitution 3.0: Freedom and Technological Change, edited by Jeffrey Rosen and Benjamin Wittes and published by Brookings. It considers whether likely advances in neuroscience will fundamentally alter our conceptions of human agency, of what it means to be a person, and of responsibility for action. I argue that neuroscience poses no such radical threat now and in the immediate future and it is unlikely ever to pose such a threat unless it or other sciences decisively resolve the mind-body problem. I suggest that until that happens, neuroscience might contribute to the reform of doctrines that do not accurately reflect truths about human behavior, to the resolution of individual cases, and to the efficient operation of various legal practices. If the power to predict and prevent dangerous behavior becomes sufficiently advanced, however, traditional notions of responsibility and guilt might simply become irrelevant.

Happy 30th Birthday Apple!Cecily Kellogg
I have a couple of lovely PC laptops that work wonderfully and I like a lot. That said, well, my Macbook Pro is my one true love when it comes to doing my work. What can I say? I just like what I like.
Today marks the 30th anniversary of the release of the very first Macintosh computer, after causing a swell of interest with their dystopian 1984-esque ad two days earlier.
You have to remember that the first Mac was pretty revolutionary; after all, most computers back then filled an entire room and had a pretty limited capacity. Heck, I still remember walking with my mother on the campus of the University of New Mexico while carrying a box of punch cards several hundred of them that equaled one single essay my mom had written. We won't even talk about the trouble I got in when I dropped the box and scattered the cards. Oof.
I didn't get my hands on my own Macintosh for a while it wasn't until the early '90s that I started using an adorable little Macintosh SE to type out my impassioned little poems and journal entries, storing the documents on floppy disks I still have somewhere. I loved it.
When the first iMacs came out those pretty little blue ones I was thrilled. The internet was becoming a huge part of my life back then, and we couldn't wait to buy one for our house. Eventually we switched to the later iMac model, and then even later switched to Macbooks and now we have three Macbooks in the house. What can I say? We love them.
So Happy Birthday, Macintosh from this Apple girl. You've made my life simple and easy.

|Paving the Way to Nanoelectronics 16 nm and Smaller
As the nanoelectronics industry pushes towards feature sizes of 22 nm and smaller, conventional single-exposure refractive lithography systems used to print circuit patterns onto computer chips will no longer be feasible. Extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography, utilizing reflective optics and 13-nm-wavelength light to print chips, is the leading candidate to meet the industry's future needs. Despite strong progress in EUV lithography over the past decade, significant challenges remain, including defect-free mask fabrication (see Science Highlight Investigating Extreme Ultraviolet Lithography Mask Defects), and the development of ultrahigh-resolution photoresist—a light-sensitive material used to form a patterned coating—that simultaneously supports low line-edge roughness (LER), high sensitivity, and sub-22-nm resolution. Using the SEMATECH Berkeley Microfield Exposure Tool (MET) at ALS Beamline 126.96.36.199, advanced EUV photoresist research can be performed while high-power stand-alone light sources are still being developed. High-quality 16-nm lines and spaces have been printed using the MET, representing the highest resolution ever achieved from a single-exposure projection optical lithography tool.
Development of EUV photoresist is particularly challenging because it relies on the availability of ultrahigh resolution lithography tools well in advance of when they would be required for high-volume semiconductor manufacturing. Tools such as the MET allow researchers to study nanoscale patterning at EUV wavelengths, and so play a crucial role in the advanced materials development required to achieve high-volume fabrication of nanoscale electronics. The relative simplicity of these microcfield tools enables them to provide higher-resolution capabilities than current full-production-scale tools. For example, preproduction tools just now being delivered still significantly underperform in terms of resolution when compared to the MET, which came online late in 2003.
The most unique attribute of the SEMATECH Berkeley MET is its use of a custom-coherence illuminator made possible by its implementation on a synchrotron beamline. Using conventional illumination, the resolution limit of the 0.3-NA optic MET is approximately 25 nm; however, with custom-coherence the system can achieve the wavelength-induced resolution limit of 12 nm. Moreover, the high spectral purity of the ALS light minimizes image degradation, which can be caused by longer ultraviolet wavelengths present in current plasma-based EUV light sources under development.
Another practical problem for EUV photoresist testing at these small dimensions is that masks supporting these resolutions must also be available. To decouple resist research from mask development, a process unique to the ALS implementation of the MET called pseudo phase shift mask is used, allowing conventional binary amplitude masks to act as phase shift masks, causing line space features to print at one half the size they are on the mask. Using this method, high-quality 16-nm line space printing with 2-nm LER has been achieved in an experimental photoresist. Although still lacking in sensitivity and edge roughness, these results represent a significant breakthrough in single-exposure projection printing resolution.
These results were obtained in collaboration with Inpria Corporation, who has developed a photosensitive spin-on inorganic ultrathin imaging film (resist). The inorganic nature of the film enables high EUV absorption in the ultrathin film, minimizing stochastic effects. Additionally, the film does not rely on thermal chemical amplification, thereby reducing diffusion and image blur during post-exposure processing. The downside of the lack of chemical amplification is decreased sensitivity. The sensitivity of the resist shown in the image above, for example, was 70 mJ/cm2, which is 4–7 times slower than industry requirements.

Durham Myeloma Center Workshop
Durham, North Carolina
Two recent publications highlight the need to adapt myeloma guidelines to accommodate treatment available in different countries and regions of the world. Myeloma treatment guidelines for Asia appear in The Lancet, and those for Latin America appear in the Brazilian Journal of Hematology. Fortunately, writes IMF Chairman Brian Durie, MD in his blog this week, outcomes in those regions are better than we might have anticipated, but there remains a critical need for access to newer agents in clinical trials. READ DR. DURIE'S BLOG
IMF advocate Tom Chellius and National State Affairs Consultant Zina Cary testified this week at a hearing held by the Wisconsin State Senate Insurance & Housing Committee in support of Senate Bill 300 (Cancer Treatment Fairness Act). The bill would require insurers in Wisconsin to cover oral anticancer therapies at rates equal to intravenous, or IV, treatments. Joining the IMF in the packed hearing room were members of the Wisconsin Coalition for Cancer Treatment Access (WCCTA) and the bill's legislative champions, State Senator Alberta Darling and State Representative Pat Strachota.

Good skate from Pfeifer. I just got up and I missed Plushenko, but saw him in the K&C. It'll be interesting to see where he ends up after the final two groups.
Beautiful program from Viktor!! Sublime! (I liked it much better than Plushy's). Such a pity he doesnt have the 3A... Or does he?
Excellent program for Pfeifer!! That 3Lz was magnificent!
For me, the laughing and the smiling, the little flick of the head in the footwork - that was enough. He was enjoying himself, for at least part of it.
But his face in the kiss and cry told the story. He can't go on like this. He can't go on being Russia's only hope. Something has to give.
Not Plushy's best skate, suprised to see a fall from him but givien his history with injuries I should not be suprised.
Viktor was great!
Just one more year, Plushbody. One more year. Let him have the send off he deserves.

The memory hole relieves us of 'inconvenient truths'
"In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act." -- George Orwell
NEW SMYRNA BEACH -- My blood boiled when a friend recently forwarded me a story sent to him by a progressive-liberal friend. It was about a campaign theme that some Republican operatives were trying to get the Romney staff to sanction.
The original sender's comment introducing the article was "The Nazis Are Back!" Here we go again. Republicans are Nazis. Conservatives are fascists. Yawn.
What embarrassing ignorance is exhibited by the "Republicans are Nazis" meme. When will the lefty Democrat dummies discover that the Nazis were socialists?
The name Nazi is from the German for German National Socialist Workers' Party. The "human life friendly" concepts, e.g., Marxism, socialism, communism, fascism, eugenics, etc., that have led to the deaths of many millions of people since the early 20th Century come from the left side of the political spectrum. Those who support individual liberty, free market capitalism, the individual's right to retain the fruits of their labor, generally come from the right -- at least today in our country.
Government control of most elements of the peoples' lives, business and industry plus confiscation of earnings in order to spread the wealth around have come from the left for the last 150 years or so. The Republican Party was founded in 1854 as the party for abolition of slavery. The Republican Party not only led the fight to end slavery and ensure that those of African origin or ancestry were legally recognized as fully human, free and entitled to all of the inalienable rights acknowledged in our Constitution, but for women's voting rights, civil rights, and black voting rights.
Since the end of the Civil War (1861-1865), every amendment to the U.S. Constitution sanctifying or expanding individual liberty began with Republican endorsement. The Civil Rights legislation that passed during the Johnson (Democrat) administration was initiated by the Eisenhower (Republican) administration. It took years to pass because of Democrat opposition. Even that wiley Democrat political power-house LBJ could not get enough of his fellow Democrats to fall in line when he was president.
It passed because of strong Republican Senate support for civil rights. Why is there such ignorance of history today? Is this by design? Circumstantial or deliberate?
From George Orwell's iconic, classic novel 1984, first published in 1949, comes the term "down the memory hole." It refers to the totalitarian government's practice of "disappearing" any historical fact or previously reported news item that inconveniently gets in the path of the narrative that those who run the government want the people to believe.
You know, those inconvenient truths. In this futuristic dystopia, the people are brainwashed to believe that they are free because they have total access to free drugs and are encouraged to avail themselves of as much sex with as many partners as they wish. Instead, they live in a world that monitors them constantly and tells them how to act, speak and think around the clock. Anyone who gets out of line gets re-educated or disappears.
The state is all-powerful, and invents "enemies" that keep the people in fear, fueling their emotions with daily required "two minute hate" sessions against the manufactured enemies. The government is profoundly leftist in its totalitarian, statist view that these are not persons with individual needs and dreams, but just drones who live their empty lives in support of and subject to the whims of the state.
The memory hole device today appears to be alive and strong in our culture and our schools. Great numbers of people believe in history that never happened if they indeed know any history at all. Tell a black person, or for that matter most Democrats, that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was a Republican (as were Frederick Douglas, Mary McLeod Bethune and Carter G. Woodson) and you will likely be called a liar. But he was, and they were.
Give credit to Republicans for the constitutional amendments that freed the slaves, granting full citizenship rights, or that which provided voting rights for women. State that Republicans were the engine for passage of the 1960's Civil Rights and Voting Rights Acts. Many people today will stare at you like you are speaking gibberish.
Americans should be proud of the rich history of the Republican Party's ensuring that our Constitution's promises extend to all of our citizens. Today's state and congressional Republicans are fighting to save our states and Nation from economic devastation, protect individual rights and property rights, and shrink the unconstitutionally gigantic size and overreach of our ever more oppressive and fiscally unsustainable Federal government (and many state governments).
Are they perfect? Heck no!
And, yes, they should fight harder and some be replaced by stronger stock. But Nazis or Fascists? Sorry folks, those are "isms" belonging to the leftist government.
When someone labels Republicans "Nazis," the name caller is only revealing his abysmal ignorance. That so many people believe that it is true proves that much of the history that they should have been taught is "down the memory hole."

A country's national cinema is a conversation between filmmakers and audiences about who we are as a people — what we have in common, when we disagree, where we've come from and where we're going. For that conversation to flourish, Canadian audiences need access to our films, not just in the biggest cities, but in communities across the country.
The mission of KCFF is grounded in the belief that Canadian film and filmmakers are distinctive and vital to our country's culture. We seek to develop an audience for our national cinema by promoting, celebrating and showcasing Canadian film and by supporting and encouraging Canadian film production.
We do this by:
- Researching, programming and exhibiting Canadian feature-length films
- Presenting and promoting culturally diverse Canadian films and films in both official languages
- Providing educational, networking and career opportunities for professional and amateur Canadian filmmakers and artists
- Presenting locally-produced short films
- Nurturing film production in our community
KCFF is a one-of-a-kind chance for our audiences; the festival's programming approach is infused with that sense of responsibility and opportunity.

A single out was the difference between a World Series appearance and heartbreak for a Summerville team.
The Parks Field American All-stars won five straight games in Clemson last week to advance to the championship series of the Dixie Youth Baseball South Carolina Majors Tournament.
Up 4-3 over Lake Marion in the final inning of its sixth game, Parks Field only needed an out to claim the state championship and advance to the Dixie Youth Baseball World Series. Unfortunately for the Summerville team, Lake Marion capitalized on two errors to score two runs and earn a 5-4 win.
That left Parks Field and Lake Marion as the only one-loss teams in the double-elimination tournament so they played again for the championship. Lake Marion jumped ahead 3-0 on a homerun, but Parks Field fought back to cut the lead to 2. However, Lake Marion doubled Parks Field's run production the rest of the game to earn a 6-3 win and the berth to the World Series.
Infielder Ben Mitchum led the Parks Field batters in the tournament, finishing 18 for 20 at the plate. Several pitchers contributed to the team's 5-2 run.
Other members of the team are Chase DuPree, Adam Jordan, Brodie Blanton, Chandler Burns, David Thorpe, Austin Little, Hayden Jackson, Matthew Tanner, Jordan Loving, Ethan Shaw and Collin Sumner. The team is coached by Mike Little, Ty DuPree and Myron Jordan.
