Hatshepsut, whose name means "foremost of noble women" (also known as Ma'at-ka-re, translated as "spirit of harmony and truth") was the fifth ruler of the 18th Dynasty (1479-1458 BCE). She was the daughter of Tuthmosis I and Queen Ahmose and, as was common in Egyptian royal houses, married her half-brother Tuthmosis II. They had a daughter together, Neferu-Ra, and Tuthmosis had a son by a minor wife, Tuthmosis III, whom he named as his heir.
Hatshepsut Made Regent
Tuthmosis II died in 1479, appointing Hatshepsut as regent to the young king. Tuthmosis III, though a child, officially ruled with Hatshepsut until 1473 when she declared herself pharaoh, had herself represented in male attire and took on the duties and obligations of the male pharaohs who had preceeded her. Perhaps to solidify her hold on the throne, she married her daughter Neferu-Ra to the young Tuthmosis III (a marriage which would last eleven years until Neferu-Ra's death).
Public Works
Hatshepsut immediately went to work on great public works projects, commissioning the tempe at Deir El-Bahri at Thebes early on. In reliefs carved at this site Hatshepsut claims divine origin as the daugher of the god Amon and, so, states her right to rule Egypt legitimately. She further claimed that her father, Tuthmosis I, had made her his co-ruler and heir during his reign before her marriage to Tuthmosis II. Her chief steward, Senenmut, who had served Tuthmosis II, and was her loyal companion, corroborated these stories as, it seems, he helped the queen in all of her affairs of state.
The reign of Queen Hatshepsut lasted 22 years and in that time she was responsible for more building projects than any pharaoh in history save Rameses II (The Great). Although historians recognize her rule as one of peace and prosperity there is evidence that, early on, after she had claimed descent from Amon, she led military expeditions against the neighboring countries of Syria and Nubia. She sent expeditions to the land of Punt (the exact location of which is not known but has been placed, alternately, at the Horn of Africa or in Arabia) in ships seventy feet long, each manned with 210 sailors and 30 rowers. These expeditions brought back, among other things, live frankincense trees in baskets of their native soil (the first time in history plants or trees were transported from a foreign land successfully for transplant) and had them situated to adorn her complex at Deir El-Bahri. This complex boasts perfect symmetry and was so awe-inspiring to the ancients that later pharaohs would choose the locale around her temple for their own tombs, an area known today as the Valley of the Kings.
Hatshepsut, further, restored the temple at Karnak, the Temple of Mut, employed the genius of the architect Ineni (who had worked for her father) in designing further temples and monuments and had erected the twin obelisks (at the time the tallest in the world) at the entrance to the Temple of Mut. So beautiful were her buildings that later pharaohs claimed them as their own and so numerous were her monuments and temple projects that, today, there are few museums in the world which do not house works she commissioned.
Removal from history
In 1458 BCE (approximately) Tuthmosis III, whom Hatshepsut placed as General of her armies, led a campaign out of Egypt to suppress a revolt at Kadesh and, after this, Hatshepsut disappears from history. Her shrines were mutilated and her obelisks and monuments torn down under order of Tuthmosis III. So thorough was the work of Tuthmosis that Hatshepsut's name was forgotten and her reign virtually unknown at the beginning of the 20th century. The motive behind the desecration and destruction of Hatshepsut's works is not known. For many years it was speculated that Tuthmosis III resented a woman essentially usurping his throne but there is no evidence anywhere which supports this (in Egypt, to eliminate the likeness of a person from a temple or statue after that person's death was to, essentially, kill their spirit in the afterlife and there is no evidence that Tuthmosis III bore such enmity for Hatshepsut). Another theory is simply that Tuthmosis III wanted to convey to history the idea of an unbroken line between his father and himself but this theory also fails in that Tuthmosis only had public images of Hatshepsut erased while maintaining those statues, paintings and reliefs in the interior of temples. Perhaps the best theory advanced for Tuthmosis' actions is that he was trying to restore balance to Egypt and feared that the illustrious reign of a woman would inspire later women to seek positions of power reserved, by the gods, for males. The concept of Ma'at (universal harmony and balance) was of utmost importance to the Egyptians and, as a learned author, Tuthmosis may have felt he was simply performing his duties as pharaoh in eliminating evidence of a female ruler. The result of all his work was that, until the latter part of the 20th century, the most famous female ruler of Egypt was the last pharaoh Cleopatra VII who was not even Egyptian, but Greek.
Hatshepsut's Tomb
It is held that Hatshepsut's corpse was hidden from Tuthmosis and buried in secret. For many years it was believed that nothing was left of her body save some fragments found in a canopic jar along with Hatshepsut's nurse Sitire-Ra. In 2006, however, the Egyptologist Zahi Hawass claimed to have located Hatshepsut's mummy on the third floor of the Cairo museum. If the mummy is indeed Hatshepsut, she died in her fifties from an abscess following the removal of a tooth.
Though not the first woman to rule Egypt (Merneith is thought to have ruled in the 1st Dynasty, Nimaethap acted as regent for her son Djoser in the 3rd Dynasty and Queen Sobekneferu reigned in the 12th Dynasty) nor the last, Hatshepsut ruled longer than any other woman and, further, is today considered one of the greatest pharaohs in Egyptian history.

Discussions related to the repeal of the sustainable growth rate (SGR) formula, which is used to calculate Medicare payments, were revitalized last week on Capitol Hill. The Medicare Physician Payment Innovation Act of 2013 (H.R. 574) was introduced by Congresswoman Alyson Schwartz (D-PA), and the chairmen of the Energy and Commerce Committee and the Ways and Means Committee released a joint proposal for reform.
H.R. 574 focuses on primary, preventative, and coordinated care services, and includes references to speech-language pathology and audiology. The legislation would require the Secretary of Health and Human Services to work with stakeholders in the development of payment models for outpatient therapy and speech-language pathology services based on (a) treatment session and episode of care or (b) other bundled payment methodology. Both models take into account the severity and complexity of a patient's diagnosis as well as the intensity of the services provided.
The legislation recognizes ASHA's Certificate of Clinical Competence for both audiology and speech-language pathology in a provision related to providing a 1-year exemption for providers who would otherwise be penalized or receive negative updates as a penalty for not moving to a new payment model.
Additionally, the Energy and Commerce Committee and the Ways and Means Committee put forth a joint proposal for payment reform including a three-phase framework that would
The committees are seeking comments on this framework, and ASHA will provide feedback.
The SGR is a formula that came out of the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 as a means to control Medicare outpatient payments to providers. It is a method to ensure that the yearly increases in Medicare expenditures do not exceed the growth in GDP. Over the years, the payment formula has produced unrealistic expenditure targets, which triggered significant reductions in Medicare payments. These proposals are a starting point for discussion as Congress strives to move Medicare payments to reward the inclusion of quality and efficiencies in provider practices.
More detailed information is posted on the Energy & Commerce Committee website. For more information on H.R. 574 in relation to speech-language pathology and audiology, please contact Ingrida Lusis, ASHA's director of federal and political advocacy, at [email protected].

Mario Kart Wii Review
Mario Kart Wii is pretty much more of the same fun gameplay, with the addition of a brilliant wheel that will do wonders to encourage newcomers to give the game a try.
A Mario Kart game on a Nintendo console is about as unexpected as Peach being kidnapped by Bowser, but that doesn't make the arrival of Mario Kart Wii any less exciting. Anyone old enough to remember the SEGA vs Nintendo War will likely have fond memories of at least one Mario Kart game, even if the GameCube's Double Dash didn't really live up to the series' strong heritage. With more than a little to prove, Nintendo has really gone to town with its Wii entry in the series, with features that will please hardcore gamers and newcomers alike. But has this resulted in a halfway house of a racing game or arcade racing perfection?
What's immediately obvious is how accessible the game is. Mario Kart has never been a deep game in the traditional gaming sense, but Mario Kart Wii's inclusion of the Wii Wheel peripheral is a masterstroke. Although little more than a shell for your Wii Remote, being able to turn a wheel instead of using an analogue stick (or even tilting a controller) is immeasurably better for a novice gamer. The key is that it actually works. Motion control in racing games has been patchy at best, even in previous Wii titles, but here it's brilliant.
It's not brilliant to the extent that hardcore gamers should choose to use it over Wii Remote and Nunchuck controls though. The game places a big emphasis on power sliding, and although this is perfectly possible on the Wii Wheel, it's far from ideal. Using the Nunchuck's analogue stick to steer your kart is simply a lot easier, especially if you've been playing games that way for years. In a similar system to the power slides from the Nintendo 64 game, a held power slide will give you a mini turbo boost, effectively letting you turbo out of every corner. Hold the slide even longer and you'll get a Super mini-turbo, which boosts your vehicle for even longer.
Turbo boosts come from other sources too. By flicking the Wii Remote (or wheel) up, down, left or right just as you jump off a ramp your character will perform a stunt, which gives you a boost on landing. Tail another racer and you'll gain speed by being in their slipstream. It's fair to say that the best lap times on the Time Trial mode are clearly going to come from players who make most use of the boost system. Although the game offers an auto power slide option, which is great for newcomers, it removes your ability to jump and therefore prevents you from power slide boosting.
Also new to the Wii game is the ability to race bikes. Far from being just a superficial addition to the series, bikes handle significantly differently to karts. They're far more nimble around the tracks, able to corner sharply, especially when activating a power slide which results in a turn so sharp you'll likely go flying into the road-side obstacles unless you're careful. You're limited to mini turbos while on a bike but this is countered by being able to perform wheelies at any time, which make you travel faster than normal. While performing a wheelie your steeling is severely limited and you're vulnerable to barges from other vehicles, but it's worth the risk.
If anything it's a shame that the core Grand Prix mode found in Mario Kart Wii isn't as hardcore as many gamers would like. Once again, weapons play a big part in each race's outcome, and the usefulness of these pick-ups depends on your position in a race. If you're near the back of the pack you're quite likely to be given one of the most disruptive weapons, such as the lightning strike, auto-pilot-like battering ram Bullet Bill and POW Block, which spins any vehicles travelling in front of you. If you're at the front you'll be lucky to get even a red homing shell. It is of course designed to keep the pack close together, but unless you rethink your racing strategy (perhaps hanging back until the last few corners) you'll repeatedly be hit by shells and other nasty weapons.

Seib & Wessel: What We're Reading Wednesday
Recommended reading from around the Web:
By Gerald F. Seib and David Wessel
Ken Walsh (@ktjwalsh) explores the threat to President Barack Obama's "charm offensive" that will arise in coming days when he hits the road to raise money for Democratic congressional candidates. An outbreak of harsh rhetoric, Walsh writes, could imperil the presidential search for second-term legislative achievements. [U.S. News]
In a tough analysis, former Middle East diplomat Aaron David Miller (@aarondmiller2) writes that President Obama isn't succeeding on any front in the Middle East, and says that's so in part because he is "a president who became strangely disconnected and who at best just seemed to have other things to do. At worst, he seemed to have simply stopped caring." [Foreign Policy]
Michael Catalini (@mikecatalini) looks at the seven Senate Democrats who haven't (yet) endorsed gay marriage, and weighs the chances they'll change position. All except Florida's Bill Nelson are from Republican states. Two are up for re-election in 2014: Mary Pryor of Arkansas and Mary Landrieu of Louisiana. [National Journal]
Political analyst Stu Rothenberg (@StuPolitics) analyzes the South Carolina House race in which former Gov. Mark Sanford is attempting a political comeback against Democrat Elizabeth Colbert Busch, sister of comedian Stephen Colbert. She'll be well financed, but Democrats haven't been impressed with Colbert Busch's campaign so far, he says, and feel she needs to move to the center in this relatively conservative (and normally Republican) district; he rates it "lean Republican." [Rothenberg Report]
Bill Gross of bond-giant Pimco writes that it was partly the times that made him, Peter Lynch of Fidelity, Warren Buffett, George Soros and others famously successful investors. "All of us cut our teeth during perhaps…the most attractive epoch that an investor could experience. Since the early 1970s when the dollar was released from gold and credit began its incredible, liquefying, total return journey to the present day, an investor that took marginal risk, levered it wisely and was conveniently sheltered from periodic bouts of deleveraging or asset withdrawals could, and in some cases, was rewarded with the crown of 'greatness.' Perhaps, however, it was the epoch that made the man as opposed to the man that made the epoch." The test, which most of them won't live long enough to take, is whether they would be as successful if, as Mr. Gross speculates, we are at the beginning stages of a new epoch. [Pimco]
Neil Irwin (@Neil_Irwin), author of a new book on central bankers, critiques the view of the world former budget director David Stockman presents in his own new book, noting "how fundamentally nihilistic Stockman's view of the economy seems to be: that basically anything the state does to try to fix things is undermining some elegant capitalist order and will inevitably lead to chaos." [Washington Post]
The world's most exclusive club holds its first meeting since January 2009 when President Obama and his four living presidential predecessors gather in Dallas later this month for the opening of the George W. Bush presidential library. [Time]
President Obama's initiative to better understand the brain will focus on building new tools for mapping and recording neurons, Carl Zimmer (@carlzimmer) writes. "Scanners typically can only map the brain down to chunks the size of a poppy seed. With 86 billion neurons and about 100 trillion connections, there's plenty of room to do better," he says. The big question: Whether scientists can do as much to unravel the mysteries of the brain as they have with the human genome. [National Geographic]

Meyers has a dry sense of humor, and his delivery is casual without flattening into smooth glibness, disarmingly self-conscious without trailing off into frittering neurosis. He wears his intelligence lightly. All of that is very good.
Unlike Fallon, he doesn't generate the excitement of a born performer, nor does he appear to require it like oxygen to breathe. He probably isn't too far off from the ideal type of a new journalistic personality who could take over from Piers Morgan and make executives at CNN very, very happy. He could be Jon Stewart, only without shouting.
His Late Night debut, though, was both puzzling and disappointing. The whole thing seemed to be pitched at a calculatedly low level of energy, with no bells or whistles. That might make strategic sense – Meyers has to establish his own platform and find a balance with Fallon's show, which precedes his – and that may reflect Meyers's basic sensibility. But the result seemed to be waffling between modesty and caution, with a tilt to the latter.
Meyers is talented and interesting enough that I shouldn't be watching his premiere and wishing that Stefon had shown up instead of Joe Biden.
Although, as a matter of taste, I would always prefer that Stefon show up instead of Joe Biden.
The monologue was nothing much. Meyers at least seemed instantly comfortable, at home, once he finished a string of so-so punchlines and sat down behind the desk – probably his brain is hardwired from all those "Weekend Update" segments.
He told an amusing, self-deprecating anecdote about having a flat tire. He imagined how the Olympics looked through Bob Costas's pink eyes. With guests Amy Poehler and the vice president both onstage and sitting in their chairs beside Meyers's desk, everyone was having what seemed to be a nice enough time without ever raising the expectation that future historians might find an entry in Biden's diary: "Feb. 24, 2014. Let us remember always – Late Night With Seth Meyers!"
Biden, in fact, made a joking allusion to announcing on the show his plans for 2016. That would have given Meyers a headline and viral moment to launch his Late Night. And yet it isn't clear that he cares whether his show delivers that kind of jolt or not.
He'll probably figure out precisely how he needs and wants Late Night to work soon enough. Talk shows are oceans into which hosts are thrown and made to learn to swim. And there's always CNN.

Worldwide relations in teaching and research, internationally compatible degree programs, and a focus on providing study conditions which are beneficial for both German and international students, are integral parts in the profile of the University of Erfurt.
Many unique features characterize the mediaeval city of Erfurt, which is not only the largest city in Thuringia but is also one of the oldest cities in central Germany. The city's eventful history began over 1,250 years ago with its early development as an economic, political and cultural centre being largely due to its favorable location at the crossroads of important European trade routes. Prominent figures such as Martin Luther, Ulrich von Hutten, Adam Ries, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Friedrich Schiller and Wilhelm von Humboldt have a close association with the history of the city.
Erfurt, the capital of the free state of Thuringia, is located right in the heart of Germany, which gives it its favorable location for transport and travel. Erfurt is also in the immediate vicinity of famous towns and cities such as Weimar, Jena and Eisenach. With its 200,000 inhabitants, Erfurt is once again rapidly developing into a university city with great flair and character. Approximately 8,500 students currently attend its two institutions of higher education.

Georg-August University
Gottingen, Germany
Göttingen has many advantages as a location for university studies which the Georg-August-Universität is enhancing by developing innovative degree programs, Bachelor's and Master's degree structures, carrying out a systematic internationalization of its study programs and implementing quality-assurance measures. Approximately 26,300 young people currently study here, some eleven percent of whom are from abroad – a clear demonstration of the pull that the University has long exerted internationally. The range of degree courses on offer stands out both for the outstandingly good study facilities in the natural and life sciences and for the breadth of subject diversity in the humanities and social sciences, a choice found at only a small number of universities in Germany. Such a spectrum of subjects enables overarching issues to be tackled with an interdisciplinary perspective, even at undergraduate level.
Study programs run in English, bi-national degrees and compulsory periods spent abroad prepare graduates for the international job market. The University of Göttingen's international position is being further strengthened by the expansion of partnerships. In addition to the close complex of European universities within the framework of the Erasmus Program, numerous co-operations at the University, faculty and institute level facilitate study visits throughout the world, in some case also making scholarships available.

Top-level research, excellence in teaching and studies, internationality and interdisciplinary collaboration have stood for the University of Konstanz since its foundation as a Reform University in 1966. This clear orientation soon led to a unique profile that is defined not only through high quality but also through innovation, creativity and a distinct zest for research. The strategy of modernization and reform from within is being consistently advanced, and the University of Konstanz's "success story" (Lord Dahrendorf, 2006) is something that all members experience.
The University of Konstanz continues to build and expand its International Visibility, its Excellence in Research and Teaching by attracting and recruiting outstanding international researchers and students, collaborating with excellent strong research universities worldwide plus raising its international competitiveness while, at the same time, maintaining good ties and contacts with an international and regional orientation.
The city of Konstanz lies on the border of Germany and Switzerland and is situated on Lake Constance. The Rhine river, which starts from the Swss Alps, flows through this lake.

Manufacturers launch program to train vets for high-tech jobs
Effort will be initially offered in 10 cities
Published 2:59 PM EDT Oct 15, 2012
Some of the nation's leading manufacturing companies are launching a program to help veterans gain the skills necessary to fill some of the estimated 600,000 high-tech manufacturing jobs that remain open because employers cannot find qualified applicants.
The program will be initially offered in 10 cities, including Philadelphia.
The companies will work with local community and technology colleges to offer training and to put veterans on a fast track to obtaining certification in such areas as electronics, welding and machining.
For more information on the program, visit GetSkillstoWork.org.

WAILUKU - Ameera Waterford apparently drank the "elixir" of success Thursday night as she bested 29 other students to capture the 2014 Maui District Spelling Bee in the Baldwin High School Multipurpose Room.
Ameera, a 12-year-old 6th-grader from Emmanuel Lutheran School, spelled the word elixir - whose primary meaning Webster's says is "a hypothetical substance sought by medieval alchemists to change base metals into gold" - to win the title in the 28th round of the bee.
She spelled elixir correctly after fellow finalist 9-year-old Paul Yamane, a 4th-grader at Kamalii Elementary School, spelled "amnesia" incorrectly.

Ameera Waterford of Emmanuel Lutheran School spelled "elixir" correctly to take the title in the 2014 Maui District Spelling Bee in the Baldwin High School Multipurpose Room on Thursday. The 6th-grader will be one of two students representing the district in the state spelling bee in March.
The Maui News / MELISSA TANJI photo
The Maui News / MELISSA TANJI photo
The two students will represent Maui District in the 2014 aio Hawaii State Spelling Bee on March 22 on Oahu.
Ameera had hopes of winning the bee Thursday after placing third in the district bee two years ago and placing fifth last year in a district bee in Michigan.
She said that the word list was the same for three years but she still felt nervous at the beginning of the bee. As the bee went on, she got on a roll.
"You get in a kind of a rhythm," she said.
Although Ameera studied hard for the bee, she said "part of it was fun."
"You get to learn new words and say, 'I can do (a) spelling bee.' ''
The Wailuku resident said that she loves to read, which helped because many of the words in the bee were found in her favorite fantasy and science fiction books.
Ameera whizzed through the early rounds by spelling words including "belladonna," "permian," "ductile," "abdicate" and "harpsichord" correctly.
Paul, too, had some challenging words to spell.
They included "fait accompli" and "waywiser."
Like Ameera, Paul said that he likes to read and didn't mind studying for the bee every day since October.
"It was hard," he said of the competition.
Paul caught the crowd's attention as a quick speller at the microphone. But that technique may have cost him the title as he quickly tried to spell "amnesia" and put the "m" before the "a" at the beginning of the word.
After the bee, he said he knew how to spell the word.
Paul is the son of Russell and Yuri Yamane of Kihei.
Ameera's mother, Anita, said that her daughter studied diligently.
"We are just so, so proud of her," she said as she texted family and friends around the world of Ameera's victory.
Father, Randy, also was proud, and so was sister, Leela, who is 10.
Apparently good spellers run in the family because Leela placed third in the Emmanuel Lutheran School spelling bee, just missing the two-finalist cut for the district bee.
Asaiah Cabais, a 5th-grader from Pu'u Kukui Elementary School, was the second runner-up and serves as an alternate to the state bee.
Students from 18 public and private elementary and intermediate schools in Maui County participated in the event.

Ulcers: Everyday Pain Relief (cont.)
If you have an ulcer, you need to avoid any foods or medicines that will make your condition worse. So, before you grab a bottle of pain reliever the next time you have a headache, learn some dos and don'ts first.
How Do Pain Relief Drugs Work?
In a certain way, all pain is in your head. When we feel pain, it's the result of an electrical signal being sent from the nerves in a part of your body to your brain.
But the whole process isn't electrical. When tissue is injured (by a sprained ankle, for instance), the cells release certain chemicals in response. These chemicals cause inflammation and amplify the electrical signal coming from the nerves. As a result, they increase the pain you feel.
Painkillers work by blocking the effects of these pain chemicals. The problem is that you can't focus most pain relievers specifically on your headache or bad back. Instead, it travels through your whole body. This can cause some unexpected side effects.
What Are the Risks for People With Ulcers?
Why do painkillers increase the risk of gastrointestinal (GI) problems? The same chemicals that amplify pain -- which some pain medicines block -- also help maintain the protective lining of the stomach and intestines. When a painkiller stops these chemicals from working, the digestive tract becomes more vulnerable to damage from gastric acids.
For people with ulcers, the risky pain relievers are nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, or NSAIDs. They include aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen sodium, and ketoprofen, the active ingredients in medicines such as Bufferin, Advil, and Aleve.
Other pain relievers may be less dangerous. Acetaminophen -- the active ingredient in Tylenol -- works differently and poses a much lower risk of GI problems. However, like any drug, it does have side effects of its own. You shouldn't take any over-the-counter painkiller for more than 10 days without your health care provider's approval.
The risks from NSAIDs are quite serious. Studies show that people who use NSAIDs are about three times as likely to have gastrointestinal bleeding. Even at low doses, NSAIDs can make mild ulcers much worse.
Aspirin has additional risks. "Aspirin can help prevent blood clotting, which is why it helps people at risk of heart attacks and strokes," says Cryer. "But in people with ulcers, it can lead to more serious gastrointestinal bleeding."
However, what if you have an ulcer and a high risk of heart attack or stroke? Then what do you do? Cryer admits that balancing the benefits and risks of these medicines can be tricky.
"People need to talk to their doctors to figure out what's best in their case," he says. But in people with a high risk of heart attack or stroke, he says that the cardiovascular benefits of aspirin can outweigh its gastrointestinal risks.

Linesville Fish Hatchery
March 28, 1999
An open house at the Commission Linesville Fish Hatchery, Crawford County, gave the Fish and Boat Commission an opportunity to show how it provides boating and fishing opportunities throughout the Commonwealth. Visitors were greeted with a beautiful spring day and plenty of displays on fish, reptiles, nearby attractions, and Commission-sponsored programs. The center of attention was a two-story aquarium filled with trophy-sized muskellunge, walleyes, bass, salmon, trout, panfish, and even a few paddlefish. Demonstrations included collection of spawning walleyes and muskellunge, fish egg collection, electrofishing, fish cleaning, fly tying, fish scale reading, and boating and water safety. The Commission also exhibited stocking trucks, patrol boats, and hatchery equipment. A popular activity was casting practice, where visitors could practice and hone their casting skills. Kids even got to take home a souvenir after making their own "fish print" posters and t-shirts. Organizations that assisted included the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources Bureau of State Parks, the PA Game Commission, Crawford County Conservation District, Tamarack Wildlife Rehabilitation Center, American Legion, and the Ohio Division of Wildlife.
Aquatic Resources Program Specialist Keith Edwards (5th from right) stands with members of the Linesville Volunteer Fire Department (VFD), North Shenango VFD, and Hartstown VFD, who received Fish and Boat Commission trout stamp prints for their assistance during the open house.
Curious onlookers watch as Area 1 Fisheries Manager Craig Billingsley (forefront) and Fisheries Technician Freeman Johns demonstrate electrofishing techniques at a culture pond adjacent to the hatch house.
Kids of all ages practice their casting skills along the hatchery waterfront of Pymatuning Lake.
Commission Fisheries Technician Freeman Johns (waders, back to camera) explains boat electrofishing techniques used for lake studies.

THE LAST TIME AMERICA FOCUSED ON A Little red book, it was the Quotations from Chairman Mao, 25 years ago. Now another Little Red Book is in the news—and on bestseller lists—but this time it's about...golf?!? Yes, golf. If the new book were to mention a Long March, it might be a par 5 at Baltusrol.
This Little Red Book contains the accumulated greensward wisdom of retired golf pro Harvey Penick, 87. Unlike Mao's, his teachings aren't revolutionary. "What makes my book special is...that what it says about playing golf has stood the test of time," says Penick. Like the Chairman, he speaks in aphorism:
"If you have a bad grip, you don't want a good swing."
"Play a round of golf with someone and you know them more intimately than you might from years of dinner parties."
"The real secret of golf—get your ball into the hole in a minimum number of strokes."
Until recently, Penick kept his pointers—collected during nearly 50 years as a pro at the Austin Country Club and 33 years as coach at the University of Texas—in a spiral notebook he toted from tee to tee. Last year, after recovering from a back injury and a perforated ulcer, he asked his friend Bud Shrake, a novelist and sportswriter, to help turn the jottings into a book. "Any time you can spend with Harvey is a bonus," says Shrake. "So when he called, I went." So far, the Little Red Book has sold 200,000 copies—and counting.
Retired since 1973, Penick still gives occasional lessons to the likes of Tom Kite and Ben Crenshaw. And even a lucky duffer or two. "Now about your golf game," he recently wrote, in response to a fan letter from George Bush. "May I suggest that you are overanalyzing your swing?

GATE 90, TERMINAL C, Newark International Airport — We're standing on the edge of spring training right now, about to board our flight to Florida. But before we do, Kevin Goldstein from Baseball Prospectus released his list of the top 101 prospects in baseball this morning. Three Mets were on the list. You can guess the three.
But can you guess the order?
Well, OK, you probably figured electric-armed righty Jeurys Familia came in third. And he did, ranked No. 89. He made a major jump from 2011, when he entered the season ranked No. 13 in the system by BP.
Back to the big two, the two right-handed, curveball-wielding pitchers who the team hopes will anchor them in the future. Goldstein rated Matt Harvey (No. 25) just ahead of Zack Wheeler (No. 30). Heading into 2011, Wheeler was No. 52 on this list (Jenrry Mejia was 45th) and Harvey was No. 75.
Now, they are linked. And now they are difficult to separate. ESPN's Keith Law rated Wheeler No. 27 and Harvey No. 38 in his top 100 published last week. Baseball America rated Wheeler as the organization's No. 1 prospect with Harvey right behind him.
Those who favor Harvey tend to point to his polish — he pitched three seasons with North Carolina. Those who favor Wheeler tend to point to his potential — he could be a legitimate ace. And 2012 will be a critical year for both.

Al and Tipper Gore to Separate
Former Vice President Al Gore and wife, Tipper, have announced that they are separating after four decades of marriage.
In an email sent by the couple to friends, reported by several news organizations Tuesday, they said they had come to "a mutual and mutually supportive decision that we have made together following a process of long and careful consideration."
For years, the Gores had publicly portrayed their marriage as strong. A long kiss shared by the pair on stage at the 2000 Democratic National Convention, as Mr. Gore was about to accept his party's nomination for president, was widely discussed during the remaining weeks of the campaign. The couple also cowrote a book on family life, published in 2002, entitled "Joined At The Heart."
After his years in Washington and unsuccessful bid for the presidency in 2000, Mr. Gore became a climate change campaigner and won a Nobel Peace Prize in 2007 for his efforts. He is the cofounder of chairman of Generation Investment Management, a sustainable investment firm, and Current TV, a network based on viewer-created content.
The Gores lived together in Nashville, Tenn., and have four adult children and three grandchildren.
Kalee Kreider, a spokesperson for Mr. Gore, confirmed in an email message that the Gores had announced their separation.

A Friday poster, NWAlabama1 (read that post here) encouraged me to continue addressing hatred, racism and bigotry. Don't worry. I'm there.
What flaw leads an elected official in 2009 to stumble over his prejudices in such a clumsy way as Walker County Commission President Bruce Hamrick (here) did the other day at the annual state of the region luncheon? Hamrick's comments at the event, sponsored by the Birmingham Regional Chamber of Commerce (here), left many who attended red-faced and upset, and for good reason.
A Vietnam war veteran, Hamrick used a derogatory term to refer to the North Vietnamese soldiers he fought against. Then, Hamrick made a joke about his granddaughter to concede that he's getting used to the idea that women are becoming more powerful in business and politics.
Hamrick's remarks created enough of a stir that chamber officials took a couple steps away: "In no circumstance does the Birmingham Chamber condone sexist or racist comments, regardless of the context in which the comments were made," said chamber president Russell Cunningham.
Hamrick himself, in a Saturday story in the Daily Mountain Eagle (here), said he was shocked that people were offended by his remarks, but then admitted he used the Vietnamese slur. "I meant to just say 'Viet Cong,' and I used the word that was actually said when the story took place," Hamrick said. "It wasn't meant to offend anyone."
That doesn't mean it didn't offend anyone.
But that's not the way Hamrick's remarks were received by many in the audience and others who learned about them later. Disappointing, too, is that state Sen. Jabo Waggoner, a Republican from Vestavia Hills, defended Hamrick's slurs.
"Neither comment bothered me," Waggoner said. "I'm just not sensitive to that."
See, there's the problem: Hamrick and Waggoner (and too many of us) are just not "sensitive to that." We should be; we must make ourselves be. Our words mean something, and how we say those words means something. As Cunningham said, racist or sexist jokes are not appropriate "regardless of the context."
No doubt, Hamrick is sincere when he tells us he's a team player, and, no doubt, he believes he's sincere when he says those people who know him also "know that I do not judge people on race, gender or any other difference." But Hamrick's words say something else.
See, that speaking-(thinking?)-and-not-knowing is what we must purge from our hearts, our souls and our minds. Our young people are doing so much better, but many of us older folks -- I just don't know. As my friend Lou Willie suggested the other day, study the Birmingham Pledge (here) again, and sign it if you will.
And let's keep this dialog going. What do you think?

25 things to do for your daughter
5. Encourage her to try on your shoes and play dress-up. If she would rather wear her brother's superman cape with high heals, allow it. If she wants to wear a tutu or dinosaur costume to the grocery store, why stop her? She needs to decide who she is and be confident in her decision.
6. Teach her to be independent. Show her by example that woman can be strong. Find and follow your own passions. Search for outlets of expression and enjoyment for yourself- not just your husband or children. Define yourself by your own attributes, not by what others expect you to be. Know who you are as a person, and help your daughter find out who she is.
7. Pick flowers with her. Put them in her hair. There is nothing more beautiful than a girl and a flower.
19. Share secrets together. Communicate. Talk. Talk about anything. Let her tell you about boys, friends, school. Listen. Ask questions. Share dreams, hopes, concerns. She is not only your daughter, you are not only her mother. Be her friend too.
25. Be home. When
she is sick with a cold or broken heart, she will come to you: welcome
her. When she is engaged or pregnant, she will run to you to share her
news: embrace her. When she is lost or confused, she will search for
you: find her. When she needs advice on boys, schools, friends or an
outfit: tell her. She is your daughter and will always need a safe
harbor- where she can turn a key to see comforting eyes and a familiar
smile: be home.
You are welcome :]
Quoting KaylaMillar:
Thanks for te ideas!
These are some really great things. Thanks for sharing.
"She will love like you love and hate like you hate." Powerful words and a good reminder.
I miss my baby girl, I miss both of my babies like crazy (my son is now 5, my daughter is now 4). My daughter is my only daughter (my first two children are boys) and I know that I've missed out on so many of her achievements already. I'm even incredibly heartbroken that I didn't get to pottytrain her.
Thank you for sharing this, it gives me hope that I will get to continue doing many of these things with her soon, and to be able to do the others with her as she grows.
I pray everyday that my little ones are found and come home soon, I miss them so much. :-(

Welcome to NuWire Investor | About Us | Login
Jan Wynns' first association with Fonville Morisey Realty began in 1978. She remained in real estate until 1988 when she took a leave of absence to recruit computer personnel for high tech clients in Research Triangle Park at the height of the '90s technology boom. Wynns maintained her status as a Real Estate Broker, knowing she would eventually return to the real estate industry. And, in 2002 she rejoined the Fonville Morisey real estate family.
NuWire: What about the Raleigh market should be exciting for investors?
Wynns: We are undergoing an extraordinary revitalization in downtown Raleigh. You can see five or six cranes in the air, hard at work in downtown Raleigh. Our skyline is adding a 400-room Marriott Hotel; RBC's new headquarters building and plaza will have 33 floors; a new convention center [is] opening in 2008 with a half a million square feet; a 31-story office building called "The Raleigh"; a boutique hotel with 120 rooms and another hotel with 150 rooms; along with 2,500 condos currently under construction.
By the end of the decade, it is expected we will have 10,000 people living downtown.
That is one of the exciting things for investors to know—that our downtown is coming alive. Because of our high tech job base, we added 37,000 new jobs to our employment base last year, and it's looking like this year will top that. And, too, as far as relocating buyers, we have 39 families a day who move to our area. So what we have going on here is pretty exciting, and two of the main reasons they come here [are] because of our jobs and because of our wonderful education system in Wake County.
NuWire: From what you've seen, how has the Raleigh market changed over the last few years?
Wynns: The Raleigh real estate market has always been a slow and steady and pretty predictable market. It just kind of lopes along, adding jobs, and showing the steady growth we have seen over the years. Actually, we prefer it that way—slow and steady—because when appreciation is going through the roof, you can always expect a downside and that's when a market becomes vulnerable and [can] go off the deep end, so we like to see the slow and steady growth.
Now, I do have some statistics for you about the appreciation rates in our area. This comes from the Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight site. In 2004, our appreciation rate was 2.85 [percent]. In 2005, it was 4.78 [percent]. In 2006, it was 6.9 [percent]. In the first quarter of this year, it was 7.07 [percent], which is the highest it's been in 10 years.
So you can see, we are not soaring, but we are riding a nice little wave here....These figures take into consideration resales and new construction. Some neighborhoods will have double digit appreciation, some will have 2 and 3 percent, just depends on the area. So we see little change, but it's good solid change and growth.
NuWire: Which areas of the city in your opinion are currently experiencing the greatest amount of growth, and why?
Wynns: The North Raleigh area where a lot of our more affluent population live will always be popular, as well as Cary, North Carolina.
The southeast Raleigh area is experiencing a great deal of growth. That is going to be our more speculative area for investing....The southeast Raleigh area has not been stellar as far as past appreciation...maybe between 1 and 3 percent, nothing real exciting. The southeast is where a lot of our modest income families live.
But what has happened in the southeast Raleigh area, right smack in the middle of it, someone has purchased 600 acres, where they are going to build 2,400 homes around a golf course. And with these new homes will come the shopping and the big box stores and offices. This is going to be a wonderful, wonderful boost for the southeast Raleigh area. I am anxious to see how this new development will impact this area.
Although this is a bit more speculative than some of the other areas...here's an area that has this surge of energy going toward it, so you might think the neighborhoods around there would experience growth too, and that's what I'm thinking will happen.
I have been selling investment homes in some of the adjoining neighborhoods...because I think that it will prove to be a very good investment for the future.
Now, another area that might be considered more predictable is the Holly Springs and Apex areas. There are new roads coming in that will make this area more accessible to the employment centers. Some of those will have the modest to moderate income housing available, and that's where investors tend to look because it provides a good rental market especially due to fewer people being able to qualify for a home loan of their own. Holly Springs and Apex over the last couple of years have shown good appreciation—5 to 6 percent—and not the modest appreciation like in the southeast.
If you're more of a speculative investor, the southeast Raleigh area would probably interest you. But if you like something a little bit more predictable, the southwest Raleigh with Holly Springs and Apex might be a good choice.
NuWire: Which [areas] do you think would offer the best opportunity for investors who are interested specifically in maximizing their cash flow?
Wynns: Raleigh is a long-term buy-and-hold market. This is not a short-term buy-and-flip market. And you're going to make your money on your appreciation. Cash flow is very difficult to get in our area. You can get better cash flow in southeast Raleigh. Of course you can always get cash flow—it just depends on how much you want to put down.
NuWire: In your opinion, which areas would represent the best opportunity for people interested in capitalizing on their long-term appreciation?
Wynns: The southeast Raleigh area I think is, although it could be considered a little bit more speculative, I think that that would certainly be something for someone to consider because of the new development that's coming in.
I was showing property the other day and drove by and the graders are still out there pushing dirt around. They haven't even built anything yet, but they're moving a lot of earth. This is the early stage, and the time most investors like to get in.
Cary is always a wonderful market to invest in. They also benefit from our wonderful Wake County schools. We have a county-wide school system. And our Wake County schools are nationally ranked; it's just absolutely a wonderful education system, and that's what draws many families to the Raleigh area.
So...the southeast Raleigh area because of the new development going on, and the southwest Raleigh area and Holly Springs, Apex, Morrisville, Cary.
NuWire: Which...areas would be best for investors interested in doing rehabs and flips?
Wynns: Let's go back to downtown. We've got so much going on downtown. A lot of our downtown neighborhoods were built around the early 1900s. A lot of the housing is in deplorable condition, with spongy floors, and people are still living in these sub-standard houses—it's really an embarrassment.
In selected blocks downtown, you can see neighborhoods undergoing a lot of rehabs. It's wonderful to go through town and see an almost new looking home that looks charming because they've used the basic structure of the house and kept the porch and the nice architectural details that maintain the integrity of the homes in the downtown area.
It's wonderful to go down there and see what is happening. I do rehabs myself and I'm always looking for properties in the downtown area because it is quite easy to see where the trend is going.
NuWire: Are there any other trends, whether economic, demographic trends, housing trends...within the Raleigh area that you think investors should be aware of?
Wynns: At one time, condos and townhomes were the stepchild of real estate in the Raleigh area, but we've seen a comeback. And condos downtown—that's a separate issue. The condos downtown are appealing to the professionals who work downtown and/or who like to play downtown. And they may work at the Research Triangle Park, which is where a lot of our jobs are...and like to play downtown because we've attracted an interesting nightlife with nice restaurants and music and new clubs and theater...[in] the downtown area due to the revitalization. So the downtown condo market is one of the ones for investors to consider; however, they are high end and more speculative.
Recently, townhomes have captured a higher percentage of our residential sales market. So we're paying more attention to townhomes than we used to. As a rule, I usually don't recommend townhomes to investors except when they're in certain geographic areas: for instance, North Raleigh, or Cary or an area that has shown strong appreciation.
As a note—if you do consider investing in a townhome, you must get one that has at least a one-car garage. It sets it apart from all the other townhomes for rent or sale.
NuWire: What other areas do you see having future opportunity for investors within the market in Raleigh?
Wynns: We have a beltline system; an inner beltline (Interstate 440) that has encircled the city for many years and provides great access to everywhere in Wake County, and our outer beltline, Interstate 540, will provide an additional access point. This road is about 40 percent complete and also links to 40. When this opens, it will really expand access to all areas of Wake County.
I-540 is opening up a lot of our smaller outlying towns like Knightdale, Wendell and Zebulon. I look at the Triangle area residential realty statistics every month, and I see the extraordinary growth that they have experienced. This is all due to the outer loop opening up their area and cutting their access time in half in some instances.

Running Mate
Sustaining Her Marriage and Her Husband's Campaign, Hillary Clinton Shows Her True Grit
As the plane rocks in and out of air pockets, the Arkansas Governor's wife nibbles at a bagel and shakes her head. No, she says, she has nothing further to add about the troubles she and her husband have both acknowledged in their marriage. Yet she wants to make clear that her determination to ride out the controversy and its attendant embarrassment is based not on blind loyalty but on love and the long-haul commitment her heart demands. "Marriage is not a 50-50 proposition. It's a 100—100 proposition," she says. "It takes a lot of love and forgiveness."
For her, Hillary implies, that combination is enough to make it work. She and Bill, 45, never sought professional counseling, she says, and certainly never contemplated divorce. Asked if she ever thought of just walking away from the marriage, she offers a soft but emphatic no.
"We were never going to go apart," she says. "We just had to deal with the issues in our marriage and work them out. We just talked to each other and a few close friends." Every relationship is unique, she muses, yet she has her own formula for dealing with marital downdrafts. "You've got to be willing to stay committed to someone over the long run, and sometimes it doesn't work out. But often if you become real honest with yourself and honest with each other, and put aside whatever personal hurt and disappointment you have to really understand yourself and your spouse, it can be the most wonderful experience you'll ever have."
Two weeks before the Feb. 18 New Hampshire primary, with the latest polls pointing to a Clinton victory, Hillary has emerged as her husband's most potent political asset. Named last year and in 1988 by the prestigious National Law Journal as one of the "100 Most Influential Lawyers in America," she is a trusted adviser, a relentless campaigner and an appealing role model for women voters. "I'm not sure people aren't right when they say she's the one who ought to be running," the Governor likes to joke. "We care about the same issues and values and concerns," she always says. "We are a partnership."
Total commitment is a quality that, in Hillary Rodham, started young. Born in 1947 to Hugh and Dorothy Rodham, the eldest of three children, she grew up in a conservative Methodist household in Park Ridge, Ill., a middle-class suburb of Chicago. Little Hillary was a student achiever, "winning so many awards," says her mother, "it was embarrassing." When she arrived at Wellesley College in 1965, fresh from high school in box-pleat skirts, Peter Pan blouses and loafers with knee socks, she was conservative yet also scholarly and open-minded. Heated campus debates on the Vietnam War and race touched her deeply. "She arrived a Goldwater girl," says one former classmate, "and became a McCarthy girl."
After graduating in 1969, Hillary moved on to Yale Law School, where she focused on the legal rights of underprivileged children. Her free time she devoted to a young Southerner she first encountered while cutting across a student lounge at Yale to get a Coke. "I heard this voice saying,'...and not only that, we have the biggest watermelons in the world,' " said Hillary. "I said to my friend, 'Who is that?' and my friend said, 'That's Bill Clinton, and [Arkansas] is all he ever talks about.' " Several months later Hillary and Bill were an item—despite his trepidation. "I remember being genuinely afraid of falling in love with her," says Clinton. "She was a star."
Besides, says Clinton, his future was in the South; hers, he figured, was anywhere but. After graduation, she went to work for the Children's Defense Fund, then in Cambridge, Mass.; he returned to Arkansas—and to politics. A year later she joined him, accepting a teaching position at the University of Arkansas School of Law. Though her friends were dismayed, thinking the brilliant attorney was sacrificing her own ambitions, Hillary was content with the decision then and doesn't regret it now. "I had no choice but to follow my heart there," she says. "Following your heart is never wrong."
Nor, of course, is it easy. Though her relationship with Clinton flourished (they married in 1975), her relationship with the voting public, which elected him Governor in 1978, at the age of 32, was problematic. For starters, many Arkansans thought that, with her thick horn-rimmed glasses, frizzy brown hair and frumpy dresses, Hillary looked like some sort of hippie. Even worse, the Governor's wife went by her own last name. "To her, it was an act of self-worth," says a friend, Boston attorney Eleanor Acheson. But many locals didn't see it that way. Letters poured into the Governor's mansion demanding, "Doesn't your wife love you?" and "What's wrong with your marriage?" Says Acheson: "Many people felt she was one of those pointy-headed, over-educated Yale types who had come back with Bill to Arkansas to spread the word to the uninitiated. There was an attitude of 'Who the hell does she think she is?' "
In 1980, saddled with the reputation of a Yankified local boy who'd forgotten his hometown ways, Clinton ran for reelection—and lost. A humbler Clinton faced the voters again in 1982. When he announced his candidacy, Hillary, hoping it would help, declared she'd changed her surname from Rodham to Clinton. Gradually, Hillary, who'd given birth to daughter Chelsea, now 11, in 1980, also transformed her appearance. The heavy glasses were replaced by contact lenses, the brown hair was streaked blond, baggy dresses gave way to stylish suits, and lipstick and eye shadow brightened her face.
The couple's makeover worked: Bill and Hillary went back to the Governor's mansion. Over the next few years, the reconstituted Mrs. Clinton, appointed to head the Governor's much lauded education reform program, became a force in her own right, speaking with teachers and parents one day, lobbying local congressmen the next. Indeed, her dedication and intellect impressed even Clinton's bitterest foes. "She is as tough as he is weak and as direct as he is wishy-washy," says John Robert Starr, managing editor of the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette. "Legislators really liked her. A few said, 'We elected the wrong Clinton.' "
An hour after takeoff, the twin-engine jet is descending through gray New Hampshire skies. Now Hillary is focused on what awaits her over the next several hours: a radio interview and meetings with five newspaper editorial boards. "I think the people value the way I've tried to be a full partner in my marriage and in Bill's life and still be true to my own interests," she says. "Reality is not always fine and rosy; let's get on with trying to solve the problems." She glances at the lapel of her black suit to a pin of bright gold angels' wings. "A friend sent them to me last week," she explains, "so wherever I go I'll have angels protecting me." Even with the encouraging news at the polls, a bit of divine intervention wouldn't hurt. Hillary Clinton smiles, anticipating the question. Does she believe in angels? "Yes," she says, laughing, "I do."

Chantilly Academy Cyber Security Team Wins Open Division at CyberPatriot V National Finals
Three teams from Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) swept the top awards at the CyberPatriot V national finals, held March 14 and 15. The Chantilly Academy Cyber Security team of Anirudh Bagde, Weyland Chiang, Chris Kim, Bryan Nguyen, and Tim Rothschild captured the Open Division national championship. The team from Marshall Academy, composed of C.J. Gardner, Alex Handley, Kevin Houk, Jack Lynch, Ramon Martinez-Diaz, and Peter Morrissey, earned the overall runner-up award. Finishing in third place was the Marshall Academy team of Sepehr Ansaripour, Charlie Franks, Xhesi Galanxhi, Peter Marr, Alex Ryan, and Jacob Walters.
Chantilly Academy's CyberPatriot Team mentors are cyber security professionals from Northrop Grumman Information Systems headquartered in McLean; Joan Ozdogan serves as the coach. Marshall Academy's Cyber Security Club is sponsored by Computer Systems A+ instructor Jason Simeon—who coached the second place team—and career experience specialist Shelli Carpenter, who coached the third place team. Both Marshall Academy teams are mentored by Ryan Walters, president and CEO of TerraWi.
Teams are provided virtual machines that contain vulnerabilities, and are required to clean the image in a set amount of time. The virtual machines can have Windows or GNU-Linux operating systems. Teams that find the most vulnerabilities pass on to the next round. Competitors must be enrolled in grades 9-12.
