It isn't a runaway—yet. But there is some separation beginning to occur at the top of the Bleacher Report NASCAR Sprint Cup Driver Rankings.
The Hendrick Motorsports duo of Jimmie Johnson and Dale Earnhardt Jr. have helped see to that. They've won the last two races, and Johnson has won three of the last four overall to make everyone feel silly about fretting over what had been perceived by many as a slow start to his 2014 season.
Johnson and Earnhardt are half of the group of four drivers with more than one victory already in the bank, meaning their places in the Chase for the Sprint Cup that determines the season's champion over the final 10 races are secure.
See how everyone else stacks up based not only—but largely—on the number of race wins they've earned. They also are being judged on how consistently fast they are, how many laps they've led recently, how they've finished and the current state of chemistry between them and the rest of their teams, particularly their crew chiefs.

HILLSBORO -- An Arkansas family trying to fulfill an ailing grandmother's last request, arrived in Hillsboro early Sunday with the grandmother's body in the back of their recreational vehicle, police said.
The woman apparently died in Wyoming, and her family completed the trip.
The 79-year-old woman, who lived in Oroville, Calif., suffered from advanced kidney disease and wished to see her family before she died, Hillsboro Police Lt. Michael Rouches said.
Rouches said the woman's family picked her up in Oroville, drove her to visit family in Arkansas and were on their way to see other family in Hillsboro when she died.
The woman was last seen alive by the family about 3 a.m. Saturday near Laramie, Wyo., he said.
"We believe they were about 1,100 miles from Hillsboro when she passed away," Rouches said. "We believe they were in Wyoming. That's based on gas receipts."
Rouches said the woman's doctors told family members the frail grandmother might not survive the trip.
Hillsboro Police were called at about 9 a.m. Sunday.
Rouches stressed that the death was not a police matter, despite its seemingly unusual nature, because no law had been broken. Because it was not a police matter, Rouches did not release the woman's name.
"People die every day," Rouches said. This could happen more frequently than we know." He said Hillsboro police were called by family members who drove her to Oregon because they wanted to report the death to authorities.
"We're a first responder," he said. "If you have a problem you call the police, the fire department or an ambulance. They could have called an ambulance, but what's the point? The person was already deceased. Calling the cops is the default position."
Rouches said the situation is being examined by detectives, but added that he didn't expect any action to be taken. He said the family routinely traveled together and there is no reason to suspect foul play.
"I've looked through all the Oregon statutes," he said. "This is not a crime."

Can you say "National Lampoon's Vacation"?
Seems to me that we can observe some interesting pathology of how group think works in a Police State.
Where every imaginable action of men is being criminalized and we already have the highest per capita imprisonment rate in the world, it seems to me that the impression this story is: "Wow. Something unusual happened and they are going to get away with it".
This family made the wisest, quickest, least expensive and minimum traumatic solution possible. What's more, they pretty much made the decision on their own.
The shocker is they aren't going to have their kids, car, bank account, guns, dog or milk cow siezed nor be forced to defend themselves in court trying to prove that nothing happened.
Fear not, now that we know this can happen, some legislator will come up with a law making wise decisions a crime. With more people than ever having to live in their car, this sort of elder death can happen again some day.
Next time, everything gets 20-20 judgement after the fact, because now, it is a crime.

WellPoint's Growth Is Coming From the Uninsured
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Even though WellPoint
Revenue improved in the fourth quarter of 2013, as they should since most health insurers are posting strong financial positions in 2013 because patients are staying away from doctor's offices and hospitals trying to keep their medical bills at a minimum while the economy struggles along to improve.
There may be a big discrepancy in fourth-quarter (year-over-year) production numbers, but don't be deceived it's not as bad as it looks.
- 4Q 2012-- $464.2 million profit/$1.51 per share
- 4Q 2013-- $148.2 million profit/49 cents per share
These numbers look like the company did very poorly the fourth quarter of 2013, but there are two things to keep in mind.
- In 2012 the fourth quarter benefited from a 46 cents per share tax settlement gain.
- In 2013 the fourth quarter struggled with a 55 cents per share impairment of intangible assets.
Operating revenue rose more than 15% in the fourth quarter of 2013, barely missing analyst's expectations of $17.78 billion.
WLP has done well in 2013 and should continue to do well in 2014 because of the changes taking place in health care.
The Affordable Care Act is still expected to drive this company's success. It may take a little longer than expected as the government continues to iron out some problems it has with the website, but WellPoint is expected to benefit significantly with increased revenues.
In fact, WellPoint said enrollment in its health care plans under ACA is ahead of expectations. For 2014, the company's goal is to add over one million new customers across a number of landscapes including individual plans and government plans.

Did you ever wonder if there was any resale value associated with those collectible objects from your favorite TV shows? TV collectibles are flooding the market.
Autographed photos of the stars of classic sitcoms like studio shots of Jerry Seinfeld, Michael J. Fox, and Charlie Sheen hold their value long after their popular prime time show is off the air. Some of these coveted collectibles, like autographed photos, command good money in good condition.
Established TV brands

Shown, above left, is a "Friends" instant coffee tin.
Above right is an "American Idol" Keurig coffee maker.
Established network TV shows promote shows to their national network affiliates using unique collectible objects like "American Idol" Keurig coffee makers with Randy Jackson k-cups and Ryan Seacrest non-dairy creamer, Jack Bauer action figures from the series "24" and red rubber dodge balls from gym class on "Glee." Dedicated TV viewers hoard these collectibles in the hopes of amassing rare objects, or down the line, reselling them once the shows are broadcast in syndication in years to come. Embarking upon its 13th season, "American Idol"' collectibles are the TV items that I would be amassing for long term value.
TV shows that are living on other networks along the cable and satellite TV landscape have related collectibles that are collected with vigor. For instance, a bottle of orange pop ("soda" for all non-Midwesterners) from the Formans' basement on "That '70s Show" is not easy to find these days. Street value for this Wisconsin-based throwback TV sit-com collectible is $25.
Long running TV shows continue on in syndication for ever and ever. Even as times and trends change in American culture, some shows have staying power late at night.
Ultra-popular Friends debuted while we were all still brewing drip coffee and just as the Starbucks craze went into high gear. As such, a collectible "Friends" instant coffee tin (worth $75) with the famous cast on the label dates back to the era when a spoonful of international flavored coffee was a treat during an afternoon of relaxing TV viewing.
Cashing in
Remember the promotional items are not to be confused with actual props that are used during the filming of these classic shows and new TV shows. Actual props used in famous TV episodes command big bucks with collectors and are more difficult to acquire, too.

Diabetic Miss America Contestant Sent An Inspiring Message By Wearing An Insulin Pump On Her Bikini
Her Facebook picture is inspiring others in the diabetes community, who started the hashtag #showmeyourpump.
1. Sierra Sandison, the winner of the Miss Idaho 2014 pageant, isn't the first Miss America contestant to use an insulin pump. But she is the first to proudly display it during the bikini competition.
Sandison, 20, of Twin Falls, Idaho, who was diagnosed with Diabetes in 2012, said when she started participating in pageants she used insulin shots instead of a pump because she didn't want to have a visible medical device. It was the example of Nicole Johnson, Miss America 1999, who also had Type 1 Diabetes and used a pump, that inspired Sandison to go forward with the public display.
2. "The media often tells us this lie: if your appearance deviates in any way from cover girls, movie stars, super models, etc., it is a flaw and something is wrong with you," Sandison wrote on her blog.
"Well, guess what? Miss America 1999 has an insulin pump, and it doesn't make her any less beautiful. In fact, in my mind, it enhances her beauty!"
When she posted the photo to Facebook it became a symbol of hope for the Diabetes community. Users with children who were insecure about their own pumps posted messaged of support, and twitter followers started the hashtag: #showmeyourpump.
7. The support Miss Idaho is getting isn't limited to the diabetes community. NPR even noticed that this move is part of a growing trend of medical device-wearing pride, from hearing aids to feeding tubes to prosthetics and canes.
Johnson, who still uses her platform as the former Miss America for Diabetes activism, told NPR that the visibility of assistive medical devices like insulin pumps is becoming a mark of community. "It is becoming more and more common to see them widely displayed, because of the opportunity that brings for connection to others," she said. "In the diabetes community, we use the visibility of our devices as a badge of courage and a connector. There is a pride in successfully managing the condition and surviving."
- A teenager was taken into custody Wednesday after he shot two students and one teacher at an elementary school in South Carolina.

Crowley stuns No. 6 Patterson in season opener
CROWLEY – On a wet and rainy day that favored defenses, it was the offenses that took center stage Saturday in Crowley's High's season opener against Patterson.
At least until the fourth quarter.
The Gents and Lumberjacks, whose season opener was moved from Friday to Saturday because of school closures due to Hurricane Issac, combined for just over 1,000 yards and 77 points in a game that was delayed for over an hour due lightning and wound up resembling an Arena Football game.
But in the end, it was the Crowley's defense that provided the heroics.
The Gents limited Patterson to just 11 yards and forced two turnovers in the fourth quarter to seal a wet and wild 41-36 upset of the sixth-ranked Lumberjacks.
"We played 10 times better on defense than we had the week before," said CHS coach Josh Fontenot. "Yeah, we gave up some stuff and they (Patterson) were getting things on us, but there were also a lot of times that we put them in some tough positions.
"In the fourth quarter, when the game was on the line and we had to protect a five-point lead, we shut them down. "
That they did.
The first big defensive play of the fourth quarter occurred with Patterson driving for the potential go-ahead score. On third down at the CHS 36-yard line, Patterson quarterback Denzel Johnson hit Jedrick Gunner for a 21-yard reception. However, the Gents jarred the ball loose on the tackle and Crowley's Darrell Milson recovered it at the 10 to thwart the drive.
Then, with under a minute to go and Patterson facing a first down from its own 2-yard line, Damon Malbrough picked off Johnson's pass on the sideline to seal the victory. Malbrough also had an interception in the third quarter and Tiron Foreman picked off a pass in the first quarter
"I'm super proud of coach (Jeptha) Wall and the defense," said Fontenot. "Those guys needed that. They needed that little boost of confidence and they got it."
Offensively, it was Damon Malbrough's twin brother, Danny Malbrough, who stole the show.
Danny, taking over for the graduated Devante Bourque at running back, took a handoff from quarterback Andre Mills on the Gents' first offensive play and raced 68 yards for a touchdown.
Then, on the very first play of the Gents' second offensive series, he broke loose for a 63-yard touchdown.
The Gents scored quickly again on their third series when Mills struck through the air, hitting Chanz Moore on a pass over the middle for a 60-yard scoring strike.
In all, the Gents racked up 20 points and 193 yards on their first four plays of the game.
Impressive as it was, Danny Malbrough, was just getting started.
He added a 40-yard scoring run in the second quarter and he had a 9-yard touchdown run early in the second half enroute to a 315-yard, four-touchdown performance.
"Danny had a terrific game," said Fontenot. "The offensive line opened up holes and he did the rest."
The offense did such a good job, in fact, that it Fontenot was concerned about his defense keeping up.
"In a way, we kept putting our defense in a bind because we were scoring too fast," said Fontenot. "Our defense stayed on the field. Patterson ran 51 plays offensively in the first half. That's unheard of. And a lot of that was because we were scoring too fast.
"But with a team like Patterson and the way they play defense, there's opportunities for those big plays."
Patterson also showed the ability to strike quickly when Johnson hit Gunner for a 59-yard touchdown pass midway through the first half to cut the lead to 20-14.
The Jacks tied the game at 20 early in the second quarter on an 8-yard run by Mykel Jones before Malbrough's 40-yard scoring scamper put the Gents back on top, 27-20.
Patterson took its first lead of the game late in the second quarter on a 1-yard run by Larry Turner. Jones sneaked in on the two-point conversion run to give the Jacks a 28-27 advantage at the half.
"You have to expect that from them," said Fontenot of Patterson's rally. "Year in and year out, they're going to be one of the best offensive team's in the state. No question about it."
Crowley regained the lead in the thid quarter on Danny Malbrough's 9-yard touchdown run and had a chance to put more distance between themselves and the Jacks when Damon picked off a pass at the PHS 40.
Four plays later, however, the Gents returned the favor with a fumble at the 29.
Patterson took advantage of the miscue when Shelby Lavergne broke loose for a 46-yard run. Five plays later, Johsnon scored from one yard out to give the Jacks a 36-35 lead.
Crowley answered with the eventual winning touchdown four plays later when Lewis outran the Jacks defense for a 55-yard touchdown.
Overall, the Gents tallied 597 yards (522 rushing, 75 passing).
Danny Malbrough led the ground attack, but he had plenty of help: Mills added 150 yards on 22 carries and Lewis had 57 yards and a touchdown on six carries.
Mills also completed four of his nine passes for 75 yards and one touchdown. Chanz Moore had three receptions for 75 yards and Thomas Cavell hauled in one pas for 13 yards.
"In a game like this where the throwing game is limited, between Danny, Andre and Chris, we knew we needed to run downhill right at Patterson to give ourselves a chance," said Fontenot. "Running sideways against them is not the way to beat them because they are so fast.
"Our offensive line played as good a game as I've seen us play in a while. They gave us an opportunity to get a little space and then the running backs did what they needed to do with it.
"When you run for over 500 yards, that says a lot about your offensive line and your running backs. And for us, that says a lot about our quarterback because we run him in the run game."
The Gents will travel to Lafayette Friday evening to take on Comeaux at 7 p.m.

Maplewood could have one of its deepest teams in years.
It was on full display at the recent Ohio High School Athletic Association Early Season Invitational at National Trail Raceway in Hebron earlier this month.
Senior Solomon Yoder finished second behind Minster's Dominic Slonkosky, who won the boys Section A race - mostly Division III teams.
Article Photos
Tribune Chronicle file photo
Maplewood runner Solomon Yoder will lead the Rocket cross country team this season. Last year, Maplewood finished fourth at the Division III?state meet.
Yoder (16 minutes, 42.55 seconds), junior Derek Morrison (sixth, 17:00.73) and sophomore Tristan Dahmen (eighth, 17:07.17) paced the Rockets to the win on Aug. 17.
Sophomore Nate Kenney (18th, 17:54.10) and senior Scott Rupe (22nd, 18:04.65) rounded out Maplewood's top five.
"It should be interesting. We have a good corps of returning athletes and a large freshman class," said Maplewood coach Dave Deeter, whose team took fourth at last year's state meet. "It should be interesting to see how the freshmen improve throughout the year."
It's a program that knows about doing well - winning five state championships in its school history (1972, 1997, 2002, 2003 and 2005).
McDONALD: The last thing Chris Rupe wants to do is guilt his runners into carrying on the team's tradition.
McDonald's boys cross country team, which finished second to Seneca East at last year's Division III state meet, has won six state championships in its school history (1982, '83, '99, 2001, '04, '11).
Seniors Bobby Johnson and Allan Coviello will lead the Blue Devils, while juniors Zach Hawout, Bryce Street and David Natoli round out this year's top five.
"I think that's it, realizing we have something pretty cool going," said Rupe, whose team has went to state each year since 1999. "On one hand, there's pressure that goes with that. That is, 'I don't want to be the one who lets this program to fall short.' The other side of that is I get to be someone who can keep it going. That's they way I look at life and coaching, instead of telling everybody on the team, 'You better be worried you're going to be the one who is going to let us down. You better not let that happen.' It's more of opportunity."
BOARDMAN: The Spartans have their opportunity this year, to avenge last year's shortcoming at the Division I regional on its home course.
Boardman lost out on the fourth and final team qualifying spot by four points.
"Being three points away from going to Columbus, that's the only motivation. Knowing a lot of these guys are seniors and this is their last shot," Boardman coach John Phillips said.
The Spartans have arguably the best runner in the area in senior Mark Hadley, who won in Section E (mostly Division I schools) at the Aug. 17 OHSAA Preseason Invitational. Hadley clocked 15:34.95.
Senior Alan Burns (16:37.47), sophomore Nathan Hadley (16:58.90) and senior Justin Maroni (17:09.93) finished in the top 25.
"I'm pretty confident we'll have a season that'll be very special, based on what those guys have committed to over the summer and how they will perform on Saturdays," Phillips said.
HOWLAND: The Tigers return senior Ryan Sullivan, who qualified for last year's state meet. Sophomores Ethan Petrilla, a regional qualifier, and Connor Dotson return to round out the team's top three.
"Every race he goes out, he gets a little bit better," Howland coach Dan Libert said of Sullivan. "Every year he gets better. It doesn't look like it will be any different this year."
As for Petrilla and Dotson, they have plenty of upside, Libert said.
"They learned a lot as freshmen last year and are working much harder. I'm trying to explain to them, because they're both pretty talented kids," Libert said. "I think they both have more talent than Ryan does. They came in as freshmen, not taking this over and putting in the work that they should. They got their eyes opened. Now, these two really work their butts off."
However, Libert said fast times are a must, especially come districts in mid-October.
"I tell the kids if you're not running 18s, you're not helping the team. We hope Ryan goes in the 15s, a couple guys go in the low 16s and have the other guys go in the high 16s, low 17s. That's the only way we're going to advance," Libert said.
LAKEVIEW: The Bulldogs lost a top runner in University of Akron senior Eric Harris, but return a solid corps this season in seniors Chris Edie, Aaron Lamer, Adam Bogard and Alex Vine, along with juniors Nate Butler and Jake Tomko.
Coach Sean Voorhies said the team is looking for its ninth straight conference title, winning TAC-8 and AAC titles the past eight seasons.
Like Boardman, the Lakeview was a couple points away from a state berth.
"We're all juniors and seniors," Voorhies said. "We have a lot of experience. Three points from state. They bring back a lot of experience."
BADGER: Coach Kurt Ward is hoping for better things from his Braves.
"I don't think they will be amazing this year, but we'll be pretty solid. It'll be nice. We're due from an upswing, I think," Ward said.
The Braves haven't had a state qualifier since Jimmy Hynes in 2005.
Sophomores Owen and Cody Reeher return. Owen qualified for regionals, while Cody missed it by one place. Freshman Ty Reeher is part of a strong quartet of freshman runners for Badger. Freshman Will Miller has looked promising this offseason, Ward said.
"We could put four guys in the 17s," Ward said. "Look for Owen to drop under 17. We'll see what happens.
"As for a fifth guy, it's up in the air."
FITCH: If there's a team that's growing, it would be Austintown Fitch.
It's grown so much coach Paul Farr can't really narrow down his top five.
"I have a deep, deep team," he said.
Bryce Baker, a senior regional qualifier, last year, leads the Falcons pack. Seniors Zak Patrick and Zack Goist return as well.
However, a big boost to the Fitch pack is senior Garen Gibson, who was injured last year and is returning. He ran 18:10 at the 2011 Billy Goat Challenge in McDonald.
"I go 11 deep," Farr said. "The only problem we have is finding the really big gun. If we pack run, we'll be OK. I think I had nine to 10 guys under 11 in 2-mile test. We're really deep. With our numbers, narrowing to the top five is hard because we have a lot of good runners across the board."
CANFIELD: Like Fitch, Canfield has a deep team as well.
Senior Rollin Bresson, Alec Kennedy, Tyler Kennedy, sophomore Chase Kern and junior Bryan Kristan round out the team's top five.
They are prepared to battle with the area's Division I teams, especially Fitch and Howland in the AAC.
"We had four of five battles with Howland last year decided by one point," Canfield coach Doug Weitzman said. "They won a few, we won a few. Fitch has a great pack. Boardman is untouchable."
Getting past districts is the objective for the Cardinals.
"Nobody as a team has made regionals," Weitzman said. "Individuals have made it. That's one of their biggest goals. Winning the conference title is big for them as well. It's going to be a war."

Moon Krapugthong, who owns Chabaa Thai in Manayunk, is going the Japanese route with a second BYOB opening Friday just down the street.
For Yanako (4255 Main St., 267-297-8151), she enlisted a team of designers that included new graduates of Philadelphia University architecture program. One of them, Jun Suh, is segueing into the general manager's role. Smashing job: The former boutique now has a two-story skylight. Birdcagelike light fixtures hang from the ceiling over a terra-cotta overhang. There's also seemingly enough cedar to clad all of Manayunk, plus a gleaming, 18-foot bar made of monkey wood. Those who require a window seat will like the ozashiki room, which is like a tatami room but with floor-based seats rather than mats. Instead of cramming people in a waiting room up front, Krapugthong will steer folks into an area beyond the sushi bar, where they can chat with her in the kitchen.

Safety of cookies
I was wondering about the safety of using cookies.
The main question I have is: Can people add cookies to their own PC and make your browser think they are placed by a website??
I remember that, when using IE6 long time ago, the cookies were just stored in small text files and I thought, then (being 12 years of age), that I could just add one myself.
I'm not an expert of how browsers use and store cookies so I can't imagine how safe they are.
So, my main question was: Can people add cookies to their own PC and make your browser think they are placed by a website??
thanks in advance,

Re: Safety of cookies
Yes. You'd need to know the format of the cookie though, which may be difficult to determine, but there's nothing to stop you constructing one with a text or hex editor and placing it in the appropriate directory.

I just don't see how NE is not the play. I get that NYG have been playing good ball (Eli in particular) since November but that was already adjusted in the line. I don't see how NYG will be able to stop the NE passing attack, NE defense has also been much improved the past month or so and I always ask myself in every football game which QB I would rather have (Brady over Eli anytime even though I admit that Ellie has been better of late) and head coach (BB over TC any time). I am going to have to see a lot of a damn good reasons to change my opinion and I hope the line keeps moving in NE favor.
No matter what you all play BOL and lets hope for a good Superbowl. By the way I have taken the underdog in every Superbowl the past five years.
I know everyone is going to say misspelling lose with loose and other spelling and grammer errors. But that isn't even my biggest pet peeve because you know what if a man is a good capper and gives good reasons I could give two $hits about his spelling or grammer. My biggest pet peeve is without a doubt someone who decides to give their viewpoint of a side or total without any real evidence.This is what I mean. I know most of us use trends, stats, and a variety of other angles but if you have a great trend/stat/angle it is great when people post it because it can lead to a more well reasoned and informed betting decision.However, how many times do you see a homer come on to your thread or someone elses and say this (1) team X is due, (2) team Y is bad, (3) team Z is good, (4) the game is already fixed, (5) don't bet against team X ever, or even my favorite (6) or or .Serously I think that if members on covers cannot contribute then perhaps they should just be banned. Am I wrong for thinking this? Does anyone else get annoyed by this?It seems like whenever I get on this website anymore I have to shit through tons of dead and worthless threads to get to the informative ones. Just seems like a waste of time sometimes. Well if nothing else I can get this off my chest and BOL to everyone today!

Earnhardt and his Hendrick Motorsports team opted not to test on a road course prior to the Toyota/Save Mart 350 on Sunday at Sonoma Raceway. The result? Earnhardt's first-ever top-10 finish in 15 career starts at the track as he finished third. It matched his best career Cup finish on a road course.
MORE: Edwards scores surprising win | Sonoma results | Joe Gibbs plans
"If you know what you're doing driving these cars on a road course, you can go places and test and learn, but if you're not a great road-course driver, if you're just kind of run‑of‑the‑mill going over there to Road Atlanta, you're just going to work your guts out for nothing," Earnhardt said.
"We sort of relied on our teammates a little bit that tested, and all that helped the most."
It didn't come without a little controversy. Earnhardt hit a curb on a restart, slammed into Matt Kenseth and sent Kenseth's car hard into a tire barrier.
"It was a little bit messy," Earnhardt said. "I'm sick to my stomach about getting into Matt there. I just hopped that curb and it threw me right into him.
"I shouldn't have been running him hard, I guess. I just got into the curb and it launched me over into the side of his car."
The reason he was racing him hard was because he felt he needed that position to keep pace with the other fast cars.
"I was a little bit faster than him and didn't want to be stuck behind him," Earnhardt said. "I straddled a curb, and it just launched my car in the air right into his car. I hope he's not too sore today."
Kenseth wasn't hurt but the front of his car was sheared off.
"Those tire barriers do a lot of damage," Kenseth said. "You catch on to that thing and it just whips the car around, so unfortunately it destroyed the car.
"I really wasn't going that fast when I hit. I wish it would have been concrete, I probably would have kept going. But it just hit in a bad spot."
Earnhardt also ran into AJ Allmendinger during the race, ending any chance Allmendinger had for a good finish.
"I had just got around him and we got down into that corner and I ran low protecting my line, he shot to the outside and that's his prerogative," Earnhardt said. "But I thought I gave him enough room.
"I didn't think I ran him in the fence. … He wheel‑hopped my left rear tire and that spun him out."
Running in the top 10 for much of the latter half of the race, Earnhardt pitted for fresh tires and restarting 10th, the first car with four fresh tires, with 16 laps to go.
It was a somewhat bold move but it turned out to be the correct call by crew chief Steve Letarte.
"The trick to being a great crew chief is to call every year like it's your last because he's had the best strategy every week," Earnhardt said about Letarte, who will leave after this season for NBC.
And although they won't have another chance to race at Sonoma together, Earnhardt will remember this final one well.
"Aside from holding a trophy, this is like a win for us," he said.

Southwest/Texas Popular and American Culture Association 34th Annual Conference
February 13-16, 2013
Hyatt Regency Hotel & Conference Center
Albuquerque, New Mexico
Conference Theme: Celebrating Popular/American Culture(s) in a Global Context
Call for Papers Deadline: November 16, 2012
The Geek and Popular Culture: A Love/Hate Relationship
It's every child's schoolyard nightmare—to be called a "nerd." From an early age, we know that being labeled a "nerd" or a "geek" isn't a good thing. It implies too much knowledge and too few social skills. Yet, as much as we don't want to be labeled a "geek," we value their knowledge and expertise, as Best Buy's labeling their technical support "The Geek Squad" exemplifies. Furthermore, the popularity of the reigning "nerd" powerhouse The Big Bang Theory (now available nightly via syndication) or any number of other series—NBC's Chuck and the ubiquitous "Nerd Herd," BBC's Doctor Who, Fox's 24 and Touch, or the Sci-Fi Channel's Eureka—proves that America may want to watch "geeks" and use them but we " wouldn't wanna be them."
America's love/hate relationship with geeks, or nerds, is not new. The power of the nerd character was solidified in the early 90s with the introduction of the character Steve Urkel onto the series Family Matters. Urkel, with his heavy-rimmed glasses, suspenders, and pocket protector saved the series from cancellation with his first appearance. The new millennium has seen "reality" television that focused on geeks and transformation in Beauty and the Geek, reality television that allows us all to embrace our own "nerd" in the case of MythBusters, as well as crime dramas that cannot function without the "squints"—Numb3rs and Bones. It appears that nerds are here to stay which begs the question: is it that American culture is becoming more accepting of difference or have we made "geeking out" okay and thereby created a new level of "geekdom"?
This area seeks to examine the relationship between popular culture and the ever-changing geek or nerd. Topics could include: defining the "geek," the geek versus the nerd, female geeks or nerds, depictions of geeks, depictions of nerds, tropes surrounding nerds/geeks, Hollywood's pseudo-nerd creations, the "babe" in nerd/geek television series or films, differences between the two terms and their depictions in television or film, the power of the nerd, the social acceptance of the term "geek," and much more.
Abstracts should be no more than 250 words. The deadline for abstract submissions is November 16, 2012. Pre-constituted panels should contain 3 to 4 different abstracts. All submissions must be made through the conference database at http://conference2013.swtxpca.org/. Please include a brief biographical statement (no more than 150 words) in your submission.
The SW/TX PCA/ACA welcomes submissions from professors, independent scholars, and professionals. Graduate students are particularly encouraged to participate, with award opportunities for best grad student papers. For more information about conference awards go to: http://www.swtxpca.org/documents/48.html.
For other conference subject areas, see: http://swtxpca.org/documents/123.html.
Any questions regarding the geek and popular culture area or conference submissions should be directed to Kathryn Lane at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Centenary Red Deer family stories wanted
Red Deer was pretty transitory as it was becoming a city in 1913, with many families passing through to homestead or work on the railroad.
But some families stayed here to help build up the community.
And it's the descendants of those families — an estimated 200 or so — that the Alberta Genealogical Society wants to hear from in order to compile a written personal history for Red Deer's centenary.
Society member Linda McKay said people are often surprised to hear she was born in Red Deer, as was her father. "We tend to be called a transient city in a lot of ways . . . so people are surprised to hear that a lot of us have made Red Deer our home" for several generations.
McKay's grandmother came here as a child with her parents from Ontario in 1911. Opportunities were plentiful for farming or starting businesses — as McKay's forbearers did, opening a paint store on Ross Street near Gaetz Memorial United Church.
"That was considered to be just outside downtown Red Deer," said McKay, who noted the actual "downtown" at the time was a small radius near the old train station.
The genealogical society would like other families with century-long roots in the city to share tidbits of their own histories to cumulatively paint a picture of Red Deer's past. "We want to get a lot of different families, not just the prominent people of Red Deer," said McKay.
"We want (to hear from) regular people whose families were making a living here in 1913."
You never know what kind of information will turn up, she said, noting that many of the older families have interconnections they may not be aware of.
She believes these personal stories, to be put into a publication for the local library, archives and society, will "give us a better sense of what Red Deer was like 100 years ago" — as well as who lived here, then and now.
The centenary family names will also be printed on bricks for an exhibit that will be part of a fall fair planned for Heritage Ranch.
Interested families can get more information from www.rdgensoc.ab.ca or get in touch with Linda at 403-347-1605, Betty at 403-347-6351, or Ev 403-346-1918.

BY FRANKLIN McNEIL
Star-Ledger staff
The first time they met, Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez fought to a draw. They waited four years to get back in the ring with each other. And it came down to one punch.
A left hook from Pacquiao in the third round sent Marquez to the canvas. It gave Pacquiao a two-point round. He would win five more rounds, for a total of six. Marquez also won six rounds, but none by more than a point.
That knockdown turned out to be the difference, as Pacquiao won by split decision. Jerry Roth scored it 115-112 for Marquez, Duane Ford had Pacquiao winning 115-112, and Tom Miller settled the matter by giving Pacquiao a one-point margin of 114-113. The Star-Ledger gave the edge to Pacquiao, 114-113.
"I think I won the fight," Pacquiao said. "I really expected this fight to be hard, because Marquez trained hard for this fight."
With the victory Pacquiao (46-3-2) captured Marquez's WBC super featherweight title. But he is unlikely to keep it long.
Pacquiao plans to move to the lightweight division, where he will likely face WBC titleholder David Diaz later this year. Diaz defeated Ramon Montano by majority decision on the undercard to keep his potential fight with Pacquiao alive.
Unlike their meeting in May 2004, Pacquiao and Marquez approached each other with caution during the first round. Pacquiao dropped Marquez three times in the opening round of their initial meeting.
But in the rematch, Pacquiao relied more on his improved right jab. Marquez, clearly trying to avoid a repeat of the near disaster in their meeting, used his superior movement to stay out of harm's way.
Marquez picked up the pace in the second round. Working off Pacquiao's aggressiveness, he landed several hard right hands that swung the momentum in his favor.
"In the first fight, he jabbed a lot," Pacquiao said. "But in this fight he didn't use the jab much."
In the third, Marquez continued to counter-punch and was on his way toward winning a relatively close round. But at no time did Pacquiao show frustration. And with 20 seconds remaining in the stanza, he unleashed a left hook that dropped Marquez.
Action resumed after referee Kenny Bayless gave Marquez an eight-count. But Marquez was still a bit woozy.
Pacquiao went back on the attack, but only 10 seconds remained in the round. He would catch Marquez with two more hard lefts, one nearly dropping him, just before the bell sounded.
"That was our No. 1 plan during training camp - the left hook," Pacquiao said. "I was lucky to land it in that round. But he gave me a lot of head movement in this fight and did a good job counter-punching."
The rest of the fight was a back-and-forth affair. Pacquiao would win a round; Marquez would answer by winning the next. Then Pacquiao would win two rounds in a row, only to lose the following two.
When it was over each man had nasty cuts on their left eyelids. The fight could have gone either way. It would have ended in another draw but for that one punch - a hard left hook in the third round.
"I pressed him and hurt him a couple if times," Marquez said. "But like I said in 2004, it isn't about one round. I won this fight.
"I haven't lost, I haven't lost anything. The people know who really won the fight. But when I received decisions like this one, it is discouraging."

Having retired from road work construction after more than thirty five years, I find the current supervision of work being done unacceptable.
Both our city and state inspectors no longer require a transition strip between roto milled roadways and existing pavement. This was standard practice in "the good old days."
We now have to accept a "bump" sign to warn us of a bone rattling, hub cap loosening, tire blowing transition of a butt joint.
This used to be remedied by a temporary transition strip which was easily removed to finish the paving.
Our city and state inspectors now allow our contractors to throw up eight "bump" signs at an intersection and it not only slows traffic to transition this joint but causes numerous front end problems.

In Susan Brenna's family, Thanksgiving belonged to her grandmother Palma Gambino, who started the celebration each year with chicken soup.
The Dining section's Melissa Clark helped Brenna and husband, David Firestone, pick out the most promising notes in the family cookbooks and developed recipe combinations that pulled the meal together.
For the soup, she suggested we add fresh horseradish to the matzo balls, a perfect nod to David's grandfather, who liked to carve bits tableside from a huge, gnarly root. So festive.
Horseradish matzo ball soup
Time: 2½ hours
1 (4½- to 5-pound) chicken
2 large onions, peeled and quartered
2 celery stalks, cut into chunks
3 medium carrots, peeled
2 medium parsnips, peeled
3 garlic cloves, smashed and peeled
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon kosher salt, more as needed
1 small bunch parsley, chopped leaves reserved for garnish
1 small bunch dill, chopped leaves reserved for garnish
4 thyme branches
2 bay leaves
5 peppercorns
3 whole cloves
4 large eggs, lightly beaten
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup matzo meal
3 tablespoons freshly grated horseradish
¼ teaspoon allspice
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1. In a large pot, combine chicken, onions, celery, 2 carrots, 1 parsnip, garlic, 1 tablespoon salt, parsley stems (reserve leaves), dill stems (reserve leaves), thyme branches, bay leaves, peppercorns and cloves. Add enough water to cover everything by 1 inch.
2. Bring liquid to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer gently for 2 hours. Skim foam and fat frequently with a slotted spoon.
3. While the stock simmers, prepare the matzo ball mixture. In a large bowl, stir together the eggs, oil, ¼ cup reserved broth, matzo meal, horseradish, allspice, ground pepper and 1 teaspoon salt. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate 2 to 3 hours.
4. Strain stock through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl (you should have about 2½ quarts) and set aside to cool. Reserve chicken for another purpose; discard vegetables. Broth can be made up to three days ahead and refrigerated.
5. Bring a large, wide pot of salted water to a boil. Using water-moistened hands, roll the matzo ball mixture into 1½-inch balls. Use a slotted spoon to lower into the boiling water; reduce heat and simmer matzo balls until very tender, about 50 minutes to 1 hour.
6. Put reserved chicken broth in a pot, bring to a simmer, and season with more salt and pepper if necessary. Thinly slice the remaining carrot and parsnip. Add the vegetables to the broth and cook until just tender, 10 to 15 minutes.
7. Spoon a few matzo balls into the bottom of each serving bowl and ladle hot broth and vegetables on top. Garnish with parsley and dill.
Yield: 8 to 10 servings

Light Side points.
-Recieve one anytime you do something exceptionally Morale,put yourself in danger to keep someone else safe, you keep someone from doing something that would give them a DS point, etc.
-LS Points and DS Points cancel each other out.
Dark Side Points
-Recieve one anytime you do an act of evil.
-If the act is evil enough you can fall instantly to the darkside
Non Force Sensitive Players
LS and DS means nothing to non Force Sens players. However you have a Notoriety and Prestige scale that measures how well known you are for your good/bad actions. This scale increaes anytime somebody witnesses an action that would normally give you a LS or DS point.

Thanks for the input. I bought for the same reasons - low PE and One of the very few energy companies that isn't loaded up with high debt. No debt means more profits go to the bottom line - per share when earnings are reported. The question is > do we sell in Jan.The market discounts events in advance and once the cold weather is almost gone, all energy stocks will be heading lower. What are your thoughts? and what price do you think REM can reach even though they lost one or two rigs in the storms.
Sell mid march for next shoulder season. This stock will hit a new high within the next three months.It is so0000 cheap it will probably be aquired soon.I've owned REM before and am back in today. Onward and Upward!Happy Bird Day!Lenz
I've been looking at this puppy now for 3 months and it has corrected. It has tracked quite nicely with OIS, another IBD jewel. Unfortunately, or fortunately now for me, REM has diverged from the trend with OIS some 40%+ since August 2005. It's time for our correction- to $44, by Jan (end of) 2006.

Every year thousands of New Hampshire youth make a choice—a choice to use or not use alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs. CADY's mission is to help our local youth make healthy and safe choices by working with schools, parents, youth, and communities to prevent and reduce youth alcohol, tobacco, and other drug use and to promote healthy environments and promising futures. Substance abuse is a serious health and safety risk for our children and communities. Prevention is one of the most important, cost effective practices to address the problem. Prevention is simply protecting what we value most: our children, and our community, from the harmful effects of illegal drugs and crime.
Since April of 2000, CADY a non-profit organization, has served 17 rural towns in Central New Hampshire in various prevention capacities. Our focus is comprehensive, outcome-based substance abuse prevention via extensive collaborations, implementation of environmental prevention strategies, and evidence-based programming. From 2003 through 2013 CADY was a 10-year Drug Free Communities grantee and currently serves as the Central NH Substance Misuse Prevention Coalition for the NH Bureau of Drug and Alcohol Services. Please see the CADY FACT SHEET click here for more information.
Our coalition is comprised of three school districts, community partners and members from 12 core sectors including law enforcement, guidance counselors, teachers, parents, the district court, recreation groups, youth and community centers, health and medical clinics, higher education, the arts, the media, local churches, and many other partners.
CADY is located at 94 Highland Street in Plymouth, New Hampshire. We continue to support local efforts in the towns of Alexandria, Ashland, Bridgewater, Bristol, Campton, Ellsworth, Groton, Hebron, Holderness, Lincoln, Livermore, Plymouth, Rumney, Thornton, Warren, Waterville Valley, Wentworth and Woodstock to reduce and prevent youth alcohol, tobacco and other drug use and to promote healthy environments and promising futures for our local youth.
December 8, 2015
Dear Friend of CADY,
On behalf of everyone at CADY, we want to wish you and your family health and happiness during this holiday season. During this season of giving, we are hopeful you will consider a gift to CADY's Annual Fund.
Thankfully many of our kids are doing great! The youth leaders from the CADY Youth Advisory and Advocacy Council, pictured on the cover of our enclosed flier, are shining examples of youth who are thriving from enrichment and real-world opportunities. Sadly, there are other youth we see in our region who have been unable to access these same opportunities and their well-being and life chances are at risk.
It's hard to pick up the paper or turn on the TV these days without reading or hearing about the drug epidemic we are experiencing here in New Hampshire. Did you know:
We must act! The consequences of this epidemic are severe-addiction is stealing the lives of our young people. The human misery that drug abuse and addiction cause cannot be calculated. The most responsible, cost-effective strategy is to stop these serious and tragic situations from occurring in the first place.
CADY is a nationally recognized, award-winning non-profit organization that has made real and long-lasting impacts on the lives of young people who are threatened daily by this epidemic. The National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse states that, "Prevention should be 'laser beamed' on children." Why is prevention so important?
Their research shows that a child who gets through age 21 without smoking, using illegal drugs, or abusing alcohol is virtually certain never to do so.
Local support is needed to continue our work in preventing and reducing substance abuse and promoting the vital relationships, connections, and opportunities youth need to thrive (please see program inserts for details on how we are shaping young lives).
We believe all of our kids deserve the opportunity to reach their full potential but the harsh reality is that only some get the chance. Working together, we can increase opportunities for local youth and transform even more lives - please consider giving the "gift of opportunity" to a local youth this holiday season. Any amount that is meaningful to you will be significant to us. We are very grateful for your support and contributions to our work. We send our best wishes for a peaceful and joyous holiday.

The Top 5 Actions Schools Can Take To Help Reduce Youth Alcohol, Tobacco and Other Drug Use
The top five actions were derived from Collective Action, Collective Impact New Hampshire's Strategy for Reducing the Misuse of Alcohol and Other Drugs and Promoting Recovery. The state's strategy was developed by the New Hampshire Governor's Commission on Alcohol and Drug Abuse Prevention, Treatment and Recovery, established in 2000. The Commission reviewed federal, state and local recommendations; considered state level data; gathered community input; and held a leadership summit to inform a strategy for the next five years to impact alcohol and other drug misuse more effectively. As identified in the state plan, elementary schools, middle schools and high schools provide critical opportunities to assess, and promote behavioral health. Schools serve a majority of youth and their families.

In response to the opioid crisis in New Hampshire, the state has created the "Anyone. Anytime." campaign to help anyone affected by this crisis. This includes people experiencing addiction, parents, family and friends of those experiencing addiction and health care, safety, and other system staff working with people who may be experiencing addiction.
In 2014, more than 300 people in New Hampshire died as a result of drug overdose, the majority of which have been related to opioids. This crisis includes heroin, street fentanyl, other illicit opioids, and misuse of prescription drugs.
Anyone. Anytime. is an initiative of NH Department of Health and Human Services.

Former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney has won a convincing win in the Illinois presidential primary, finishing almost 12 per cent clear of his closest rival, former Pennsylvania senator Rick Santorum.
Libertarian Republican Ron Paul edged past former House speaker Newt Gingrich to finish third.
The victory consolidates Mr Romney's lead in the contest for delegates; he has 554 of the 1,144 he needs to become the Republican presidential nominee.
More importantly perhaps, Mr Santorum is slipping further behind, with 254, with Newt Gingrich on 141 facing increasing pressure to drop out of the contest after securing just 8 per cent support in Illinois.
Worryingly for Republican, voter turnout was its lowest level in 70 years, suggesting that enthusiasm is ebbing at a crucial stage of the election cycle.
This weekend voters in Louisiana go to the polls, where Mr Santorum currently enjoys a double-digit lead over Mr Romney.

Don't expect to see these guys Friday night against Tampa
|08.16.13 at 6:45 am ET
Based on their attendance at practice over the last week, the following players shouldn't be expected to see time in Friday's preseason contest against the Buccanneers: cornerbacks Ras-I Dowling and Alfonzo Dennard, tight ends Daniel Fells and Rob Gronkowski, offensive linemen Marcus Cannon and Dan Connolly, defensive linemen Armond Armstead and Jermaine Cunningham and wide receiver Mark Harrison.
In addition, defensive back Devin McCourty should be put squarely in the "questionable" category as he was wearing a red noncontact jersey for the entire week, while defensive back Nate Ebner and offensive lineman Marcus Zusevics should also be labeled as questionable, as they were on the field but appeared limited for much of the week. As for quarterback Tom Brady, our educated guess right now (and it's strictly an educated guess, nothing more) is that he plays at least two series against the Bucs, and then hands things over to backups Ryan Mallett and Tim Tebow.
As for the other side of the ball, don't count on seeing Tampa Bay cornerback Darrelle Revis (it still feels weird to type that), as he was around the team in Foxboro — even getting a word of encouragement in regards to his rehab from Patriots owner Robert Kraft — but out of action all week.

Thursday, April 3, 2014
Gerald Stinson, 47, is seeking his first term on city council. He has lived in Goose Creek since 1997 and has served on the Goose Creek Zoning Board of Appeals for about a year.
I just want to be there and do the right thing for the people, and be a voice for the people, manage our growth, Stinson said. We need to grow, bring in more revenue.
We need to make sure we maintain enough revenue. We had to go in debt $7.5 million for the fire stations. What about the police side? Public safety is number one.
We have to aid the growth, manage growth and bring in more small business.
What we need to do as a city is reach out to all the stakeholders. We need to go beyond economic development team. I went around talking to some businesses saying they never see the mayor. They dont see city council.
We need to talk to people to see what can we do. Do we need to do something different?
We need to have dialogue with people. Council doesnt know everything. I want to get out there and talk to people to see what were doing. We dont have all the answers.
The first thing we need to do is get everybody involved, get all the input from key stakeholders.
Stinson has lived in the Charleston area since 1985. He was born in South Carolina.
I moved here from the big city of Chester, where I was born and raised.
Stinson served in the U.S. Air Force and then went into the reserves.
I was enlisted for 13 years. I went over to the medical side. I evacuated patients from Operation Iraqi Freedom. I was deployed several times to Germany and to the States where I sent them back to their bases.
I retired from the reserves in 2006 and I retired from Santee Cooper in 2012. Im active in my church. I dont have any paying jobs.
Stinson is a deacon at Trueway Missionary Baptist Church in Summerville.
Im married to my wife Terry. Weve been married for 21 years and we have a 17-year-old son Antonio. He goes to Stratford.
I graduated from Charleston Southern University with a BS and MBA. I graduated for the first time in 1990.
I just want to do whats right for people. I have no agendas, I have no preset motive. I just want people to do whats right. Thats just Gerald. Im not a politician. Its not about me. I just want to help others.
I just ask for people if they believe in me, then vote.
We need to grow but we dont want to be a North Charleston or Summerville. Were not designed for that. We dont want to be like that. We can offer more for our citizens. I know we can do that. We just need to be out there and talk to the people and do whats right for the people. If you cant serve the public thats not public service, thats self service.
I have all these ideas for things we can do aside from meeting on Tuesdays. Theres ways we can get involved in the community.

on July 12, 2013 - 8:34 AM
LOCKPORT – A former Royalton woman, whose record includes federal and local drug-related convictions, pleaded guilty Thursday to stealing her father's credit card in February.
Lexie T. Quagliano, 29, who said she is now homeless, was placed in the judicial diversion program of court-supervised drug treatment by Niagara County Judge Sara Sheldon Farkas. Quagliano will be taken directly from the County Jail to an inpatient treatment facility.
Quagliano, who admitted to fourth-degree grand larceny, said she has been through five drug rehabilitation efforts. In June 2012, Farkas gave her a year in prison for selling Suboxone in the Town of Lockport in 2011. In 2009, she had admitted to a federal charge of fraudulently obtaining painkillers.
If Quagliano succeeds in treatment, her plea will be reduced to a misdemeanor with a probation sentence. If she fails, she faces up to four years in state prison.

We first became aware of Chirpify when House of Holland, of all labels, introduced the start-up's "Buy" tool on its Twitter and Instagram feeds. Followers of the progressive British brand were able to respond "buy" to posts featuring the brand's looks in order to, well, buy the item featured.
For the process to work, those followers need to have Chirpify accounts, where their payment information is stored for easy, one-step purchasing. The platform works on Facebook posts, in addition to tweets and Instagram images. Other retailers on board with the program so far include Adidas and Sorel, and Chirpify is getting into the music business by working with independent artists, along with the likes of Keith Richards. As it catches on, the start-up might have found the secret to making in-stream social network purchasing commonplace in both mobile and traditional e-commerce venues.
Sorel followers who are Chirpify members could enter this giveaway in a matter of seconds by responding "gimme" to the post.
By the way, words that will also let Chirpify users make an in-stream acquisition? These include the less dignified "gimme" (for entering brand giveaways) or our favorite option, the more enlightened "donate," which comes into play when organizations use Chirpify for fundraising rather than selling.

MT. MORRIS, Michigan - There's no shortage of staff members who care about Mt. Morris students, including those who prepare and serve meals to students.
It's a tall order to serve up food which appeals to youth, especially when staff have to balance flavor with new federal guidelines on more whole grains, fruits and vegetables, reduced calories, and - starting next year - reduced sodium.
"This year all school menus had to be certified by the State of Michigan," said Cindy Shaheen, Mt. Morris Food Service coordinator.
Mt. Morris Schools met certification standards early, in October 2012. As an earlybird bonus, the district is now reimbursed an additional 6 cents per meal to help with the cost of serving healthy food to students.
Lunchtime is a tasty testament to the hours invested by Mt. Morris nutritional staff. Along with a chef salad or a choice of four sandwiches are delicious restaurant-quality hot entrees, such as orange chicken with Asian-style veggies, homemade pepper steak, calzones, chicken fajitas, cod, pulled pork, a Mexican bowl of salsa, beans, corn, chicken, cheese and tortilla chips, and chicken soup so appealing that the aroma has been known to draw staff members, asking, "What smells so good?"
Nutrition staffers have also created healthier versions of student favorites such as chili cheese fries, nachos, tacos, pizza, wet burritos, and mac and cheese, and have created new faves such as homemade hummus.
They also surveyed students to get their input, which resulted in a new toasted club sandwich plus a chicken and rice entrée. "They've put their input into it and we've tweaked it," said Beatrice Burton, Mt. Morris head chef.
Last fall's School Nutrition Association of Michigan conference proved inspiring. To prepare for the game changer-themed conference and show off their Panther pride, nutrition members wore Mt. Morris jerseys. When the association's magazine arrived, they were surprised to find themselves pictured in the conference article, said Shaheen.
The conference featured a motivational presentation from Herman Boone, a former coach who inspired the movie, "Remember the Titans." Team members also learned about discount government priced food commodities, and picked up tips on food presentation.
"It was very interesting to see what a small trick can do," said Burton.
Instead of serving fruit in a square container, kitchen aide Darlene Livingston changed up the presentation, creatively draping grapes and apples in a round bowl.
"The kids just went nuts," said Burton. "They were saying, 'Oh my gosh, that's so pretty.' So their tips did work."
Marcia Wilson, Mt. Morris Food Service manager, said the conference helped explain more government health requirements which will be implemented, such as reduced sodium levels.
Nutrition team members work to stay in touch with students and their needs, knowing how important nutrition is to the school day. Students who spend long hours at school - athletes or those involved in clubs - may not be back home for 12 hours, said Wilson.
Students know staff members genuinely care about them by the way they take time to chat, and work on providing an occasional lunch surprise, such as dinosaur-shaped chicken nuggets. Nutrition team members say they think the world of Mt. Morris students, who show their character in ways such as displaying patience.
"When we came back to school (after winter break) our vent system was frozen over," said Burton. "We had to figure what we could serve cold. They ended up eating PB-and-J, ham or turkey sandwiches. They were fantastic about it."

Voters can decide on a proposal to authorize $50 million in bonds to rebuild the Paseo del Norte interchange at Interstate 25.
That's the conclusion of Secretary of State Dianna Duran, Attorney General Gary King and Bernalillo County Clerk Maggie Toulouse Oliver.
The city first would have to waive its voter identification rule because it conflicts with state regulations.
The City Council is expected to take up that waiver next week.
The ballots must be printed by Sept. 11.
Mayor Richard Berry says he prefers that the City Council authorize the bonds without an election.
The council fell one vote short earlier this year of outright approval.
Paseo connects the east and west sides of Albuquerque and is known as a rush-hour headache.

Easy Halloween Science Experiments for Kids
Glowing lights, eerie sounds and ghostly images - Halloween is the perfect opportunity to introduce science concepts to your children and explore changes in matter and chemical reactions. By using ordinary household items, parents can easily create these Spooky Science experiments compiled by the education team at Kiddie Academy® (www.KiddieAcademy.com). Set them up one at a time as boredom-busters, or incorporate all of them into a mad scientist-themed party! Your kids will have so much fun, they won't realize that they're learning.
"Conducting fun holiday-themed experiments allows children to use their senses to see, touch, hear and smell science concepts. In fact, by conducting these Spooky Science activities, children are making predictions, observations and testing hypotheses, just like real scientists," according to Richard Peterson, Kiddie Academy's vice president of education.
To download a set of free Spooky Science activity cards with full directions for five easy Halloween projects from Kiddie Academy, along with an explanation of the science behind the magic, visit the Kiddie Academy blog at: http://www.kafamilyessentials.com/index.php/2013/10/07/spooky-science-5-easy-educational-halloween-experiments/
Here's what you'll find: Bubbling Potion, Creepy Slime, Ghost Writing, Glow-in-the-Dark Mad Scientist Jars and the Ghostly Glove.
I checked it out and it looks really cute, like something I can see doing with my daughter. All are designed to be done with everyday materials and parental supervision (mostly to deal with any messes).

Understanding Valve Disease
Your Heart
The heart is a pump that receives blood and transports it to the lungs to pick up oxygen and send it to the rest of the body to be used by all the organs and muscles. There are four pumping chambers within the heart. Two upper chambers of the heart - the atria - receive blood from the body (right atria) and the lungs (left atria). Two lower chambers of the heart - the ventricle - pump blood to the lungs (right ventricle) and to the body (left ventricle). The job of heart valves is to control the blood flow through the four chambers of the heart. A valve that functions normally allows blood to flow only in a forward direction.
The four valves are:
- Tricuspid Valve controls flow into the pumping chambers, located between the right atrium and the right ventricle.
- Mitral Valve controls flow into the pumping chambers, located between the left atrium and the left ventricle.
- Pulmonic Valve controls flow out of the pumping chambers, located between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery.
- Aortic Valve controls flow out of the pumping chamber, located between the left ventricle and the aorta.
Valve Disease
The four heart valves in a normal functioning heart allow blood flow forward, but not backward into the previous chamber. The valves can become dysfunctional by becoming stenosed or narrowed. This is usually caused by fibrosis (scarring) or calcification. The valves can also become insufficient or leaky. This occurs because of weakened leaflets, torn supporting structures or dilated annulus (surrounding ring to which valve attaches). Some valves have a fixed narrowed hole and are actually stenosed and insufficient.

When Aussie cricket star Shane Warne gushed to a radio station about being in love with girlfriend Elizabeth Hurley last month, he did not share any plans for marriage.
"If I've got some sort of news I'll be more than happy to share it with you," he said.
Or Tweet it? On Saturday, both Warne, 41, and Hurley, 46, sent identical Tweets that read: "Thanks for all your congratulations. Here's a pic of us about to go to Dunhill dinner in St Andrews."
On Sunday, Warne took to Twitter again to shoot down rumors about how he popped the question. "I didn't propose in front of 200 people at dinner. It was done privately and was very romantic – if I say so myself," he Tweeted. "Ps left knee is sore !!!"
A rep for the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship also put out a press release with the news. "Shane Warne has confirmed his engagement to actress Elizabeth Hurley after proposing at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship," read the release.
The Daily Mail first reported the news and ran a photo online of her wearing a sizeable sapphire on her ring finger.
Hurley's divorce from businessman Arun Nayar was finalized in June.
With reporting by HELEN I. HWANG

A dollar, by any other name, is a dollar.
Unless it's a banana.
Silo, Philadelphia-based discount-store chain, found that out this week after it advertised a sale on stereo systems for just "299 bananas."
Customers in Seattle and in El Paso, Texas, took Silo at its word and inundated the chain's stores there with bananas - 11,000 of them.
