COLUMBUS - Findings from a test well drilled in 2007 have been released by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources Division of Geological Survey.
The report greatly expands the knowledge of the state's subsurface geology and provides data that will aid in statewide efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, according to an ODNR news release.
During summer 2007, the Ohio Geological Survey CO2 No. 1 test well was drilled in Tuscarawas County to a depth of nearly 8,700 feet. The well reached crystalline rocks that date more than 600 million years to a geologic time known as the Precambrian Period. The objective was to evaluate the geology in the area and its capacity for storing, carbon dioxide beneath the surface.
The CO2 No. 1 well resulted in two key findings. First, the subsurface geology found within this well is representative of the eastern Ohio region and has the potential for significant carbon dioxide storage into various geologic formations, or reservoirs, the news release stated.
Second, above the potential reservoirs are thick, impermeable rock units known asconfining units that serve to seal the CO2 within the reservoirs. Results from this well also provide significant information on several prospective oil and gas-producing horizons.
Results are available as a free download from the Division of Geological Survey website at www.ohiogeology.com.
The report, appendices and digital versions of logs also are available on DVD for $50 (plus sales tax, shipping and handling). To order, call (614) 265-6576 or email at email@example.com.

Last year, a player that emerged from obscurity in the Oakland Athletics farm system was third base prospect Stephen Parker.
In 2010 he hit .296, with 21 home runs and 98 RBI, yet coming into 2011 he was still largely overshadowed by fellow prospects Grant Green and Michael Choice. Despite his breakout 2010 campaign, he solidified his position as the team's third baseman of the future with his consistent and solid play last season.
Parker, like Green and Choice, was drafted out of college. That's usually been Billy Beane's draft philosophy, select players out of college who'll be more prepared for professional ball, and therefore advance through the minors quicker. In recent years, however, he's started to value high school players more in the earlier rounds.
Though a lot less is known about the high school players, there's generally more of an upside to them even though they have the potential to become boom or bust kind of prospects. But it also means that they may not scratch the surface of their true capability until two or three years into their minor league careers.
Here are five prospects who can break out in 2012.

Are you in Greer SC and suffering from neck pain? Chiropractor Greer looks at beating neck pain
Are you suffering from nagging or extreme neck pain and not sure what to do about it? Have you been to the medical doctor and left with steroid injections, muscle relaxers, and pain relievers? If you answered yes to any of the above questions this article is for you.neck
Some people reading this article might know nothing about chiropractic or chiropractors and some might go to one every month. In either situation, this article will educate both patient types on neck pain and how to get relief. The more you learn about your neck pain the easier it will become to beat it and live pain free.
First, let's discuss the anatomy of the neck and how it relates to other areas in the body. The neck consists of 7 vertebrae that make up the cervical spine. Between each vertebra is a tiny disc that acts as a cushion and shock absorber between the bones.
The neck and cervical spine house the upper portion of the spinal cord. Between each vertebra is a spinal nerve that goes to various other parts of the upper torso and upper extremity. Each spinal nerve innervates a very specific area of the arm or upper body.
If interference occurs along a spinal nerve pathway a whole array of problems can begin to manifest. A spinal nerve can get compressed by a joint, trapped by a muscle, or trapped by any surrounding tissues. A compressed nerve is what some doctors will refer to as a "pinched nerve." In reality though, nerves simply do not get pinched.
This interference in the spinal nerve can cause pain, numbness, tingling, pins and needles, or burning in the arm and fingers.
Some things that cause interference in a spinal nerve pathway are disc herniations, degenerative joint/disc disease, cervical spine stenosis, and muscle spasm. For the sake of this article only the most common conditions are named.
If you are suffering from neck pain and arm pain it is likely you have one of the conditions mentioned above and it would be best to try a chiropractor first. Most likely a chiropractor will take x-rays to decide exactly what you are suffering from. If it's a more serious issue the chiropractor does have the resources to get you to who you need to be evaluated by.
If you choose a chiropractor to treat your neck pain; you will most likely be treated with neck manipulation, rehabilitation exercise, acute pain management such as ice or electrotherapy, and advice on work/school ergonomics. It is the chiropractor's job to figure out "why" you are in pain in the first place. After they accomplish the "why" the easier it will be to start the appropriate treatment.
If you are experiencing severe weakness, burning, trouble swallowing, or talking this can be associated with a more serious condition and I urge you to seek medical attention. By: Steve Smiley
Today, Chiropractor Greer looks at back pain.
For many people, back pain seems like an unavoidable discomfort. But you may have more control than you think.
You can wreck your back in any number of ways, but a few major offenders stand out: Not stretching, not paying attention to your movements, and years of wear and tear, says Nick Shamie, MD, associate professor of orthopedic neurosurgery at UCLA and a spokesman for the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons.
Recommended Related to Back Pain
Pierce Dunn thought surgery had put an end to nearly 15 years of back pain. After a double discectomy about eight years ago, he says, "I could wake up in the morning without worrying that I wouldn't be able to get out of bed. I became a human being again!" Feeling revitalized, Dunn, now 57, a partner in a Baltimore investment advisory firm, decided to return to his former hobby: golf. "I played as frequently as I could," says Dunn. "Since then I've been told that golf is about the worst thing…
Here are five habits that put your spine at risk and simple strategies to stop them before the damage is done.
Back Wrecker #1: Weekend Warfare
"Most often, I see people who injured themselves during a weekend basketball game or a round of golf," Shamie says. "These people think they're athletes, but don't train like the pros, and as a result, their backs suffer."
Tackling those "Honey Do" lists at home can also set you up for injury, especially if you were idle for most of the week. Cleaning out the garage, bending over a workbench, or spending hours in the yard or garden can be just as hard on your back as anything you do on a playing field.
"Like any other part of the body, the back is likely to be injured if you haven't warmed up or stretched," Shamie says.
Prevent it: "The only preventive solution I've found for back pain is exercise," says Michael Hisey, MD, orthopedic surgeon and president of the Texas Back Institute in Denton, Texas. "The fix is to stretch and strengthen your core muscles."
The obliques — the abdominal muscles on your sides — are especially important for back stability, Hisey tells WebMD.
Hisey's tip: Get an inflatable exercise ball. Use it in your workouts and sit on it, instead of a chair, to engage your abs.
Back Wrecker #2: Poor Lifting Technique
"Improper bending and lifting causes back injury; that's all there is to it," says Dan McMackin, a spokesman for UPS.
Prevent it: Engage your abs to help support your back. Here are the basic principles that UPS uses for safe lifting, according to McMackin:
- Bend your knees and keep your back straight. Don't bend at your waist.
- Keep the object close to you. The farther away you hold it from your body, the more it stresses your back.
- Never hold an item higher than your armpit or lower than your knees.
- Don't move something that weighs more than 20% of your body weight.
- Don't pivot, twist, or turn while lifting. Point your feet at the item you're lifting and face it as you pick it up. Change direction with your feet, not your waist.
Back Wrecker #3: Absentmindedness During Daily Activity
Simple tasks like taking out the trash or washing the dishes can get your spine bent out of shape if your body isn't ready.
"The movement doesn't necessarily have to be exaggerated or involve a heavy object," Hisey says. "You can hurt your back grabbing a paperclip off the floor or loading the dishwasher."
And if your mind is running on auto-pilot instead of focusing on what you're doing, you could be in trouble.
"At UPS, we've seen a higher proportion of injuries occur at the end of the shift, due to fatigue of the mind and body," McMackin says.
Prevent it: Train yourself to keep your core muscles engaged.
A simple way to do that is to pull your navel toward your spine and imagine you're wearing a corset that pulls the sides of your abs inward. Doing that throughout the day — and especially when lifting or bending — strengthens and supports your back, says Esther Gokhale, author of 8 Steps to a Pain-Free Back and owner of Esther Gokhale Wellness Center in Palo Alto, Calif.
Back Wreckers #4 and #5: Commuting and Computing
You sit, and you sit, and you sit some more — at work, while driving, and in front of the TV. And your back doesn't like it. Here's why.
Your discs are spongy and cushion the vertebrae in your spine, but discs have poor blood supply, Hisey says. When you move, fluid circulates through the discs. When you sit still, the fluid is wrung out, so you're depriving discs of nutrition, he says. Spending so much time behind the wheel of a car or sitting in front of a computer adds mileage to our discs, which leads to stress in your back.
"The discs in your spine are nourished by motion," Hisey says. "So sitting still is hard on your back and neck, and can do long-term damage." Studies have also shown that sitting puts more pressure on your spine than lying down or standing up.
"The worst posture is sitting and leaning forward," Shamie says. This makes you lock your pelvis and flex your spine, putting pressure on the front of the vertebrae, where your discs are. The more you arch forward and exaggerate the curve of the spine, the more pressure you're putting on your discs. "This uneven pressure on a disc puts it at high risk of rupture," Shamie explains.
Prevent it: You're going to sit. So try these tactics to lessen its impact on your back:
- Get up and move at least once every 20 minutes, unless you're driving. Set your screen saver to remind you; make a habit of going for a drink of water; when you answer the phone, stand up to stretch and change positions.
- Keep your spine properly aligned by holding reading material at eye level (when sitting or standing) rather than bending over. Don't lean over a desk or table to work. Whenever possible, your spine should be straight.
- Choose a chair that supports your back. Adjust the chair so that your feet stay flat on the floor. If the chair doesn't support your lower back's curve, place a rolled towel or small pillow behind your lower back. Remove anything from your back pockets, especially a wallet, if you'll be seated for long periods of time because this puts your spine out of alignment.
Gokhale suggests doing the following exercises to help lengthen your spine:
- Get on your hands and knees. Reach your left arm straight ahead and straighten your right leg behind you. Use your stomach muscles to stabilize. Hold for 5-10 seconds and slowly return to starting position. Switch arm and leg. Repeat 3-5 times on each side.
- Sit tall, lengthen your spine, and let your shoulders relax. Concentrate on squeezing your shoulder blades together, keeping your arms hanging at your sides. Hold for 3-5 seconds, then release. Repeat 10-20 times.
If All Else Fails
The experts interviewed for this story all told WebMD that most back pain should abate with in 48 hours with a nonprescription pain reliever. But in some cases, your pain could require urgent care.
You need immediate attention if you suffer any loss of bladder or bowel control with your back pain, Hisey says. This is associated with a disc that's pressing on nerves and the faster you relieve the pressure, the faster the function returns.
"Most back pain won't radiate below the waist," Shamie says. "If you feel pain in the thighs or knees, you likely have a disc herniation causing nerve compression." Seek medical attention to ensure there isn't more serious damage.
If your back pain keeps coming back, see a medical professional. You may have begun to rupture a disc or have another injury that could require treatment. "The older you are, the quicker you should get to a specialist," Shamie says.

1 killed, 1 arrested in Purdue University shooting
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — A gunman shot and killed a person at Purdue University's electrical engineering building Tuesday before surrendering to a police officer outside, the Indiana school's police chief told reporters.
Both the suspect and the victim were males, Purdue Police Chief John Cox said, but their names weren't immediately released.
The shooting at the school of about 30,000 undergraduates in West Lafayette occurred at about noon. Officials asked students throughout the campus to stay indoors until police gave the all-clear a little more than an hour later.
Cox said it appeared that the suspect had just had one target in mind. He left the building right after the shooting, and a city police officer arrested him, Cox said.
"This individual seemed to have had intentions for the decedent," he said.
No information about a motive was released. Cox said the suspect made no statement to investigators and was offering "little to no cooperation."
David Hook, a Purdue sophomore, said he and other students were in the building's lecture hall for a noon economics class when the shooting happened in another room. Hook said he heard shouting coming from outside the hall, behind and to the left of the instructor.
"Originally, I just thought it was just people being loud," Hook, 20, said. "When I heard (shouting) the second time, I thought something was probably going on."
Hook didn't hear gunfire. He said someone entered the hall a minute later and — without mentioning a shooting — told everyone to leave the building.
Walking back to his apartment, Hook said, he saw police outside the building but didn't see any arrest.
The school sent text messages to students about the shooting, asking them to take shelter where they were. That request was lifted by 1:30 p.m., though the electrical engineering building still was closed so police could investigate, school spokeswoman Liz Evans said.
"The rest of campus is open" and classes were under way, Evans said.
Purdue student Brad Glusvewski said the university warned students of the reported shooting by text message around 12:20 p.m. ET. Glusvewski, 24, said he and about 15 other people stayed inside the on-campus building during the alert.
CNN first learned about the shooting report on Twitter.

|Cute, Retro / Vintage
What are you most proud of? I haven't sewn much clothing for me. I usually just sew household items and clothes for my two girls. I've had a fear of women's clothing-so I'm proud to have completed this (although I did do the sleeves an easier way-I realize they're not right!). I was basically using this as a muslin and hope to buy nicer material soon for my next one. I'd appreciate comments on fit as I'm really new to this form of sewing. I'm planning to take it in at the side seams, but otherwise I feel like it fits pretty well.
Since this is 'a muslin' I won't comment on your pressing (every garment/every seam needs pressing as you sew them and not just after you're done -- hint, hint!!) I can't quite tell but I think your buttons are too close to the edge. The button holes look about right but are your buttons right at the edge?? Most of the time there is an ample overlap -- if you put the buttons there because otherwise the blouse would have been too tight then you need to add on the pattern and not take away. On this same topic -- and one of the reasons I believe the buttons are too close to the edge is that the collar looks like it may be too far apart -- but I have not seen the pattern either. Yet another modification I would make is take off maybe 1/2 inch off the top of the shoulder -- you'd have to play with how much to take off but typically this type of sleeve sits higher on the shoulder and not dropping off -- it's really, really a minor fitting adjustment. You don't have to usually even adjust the sleeve because the difference will adjust with the gathers. I would not take the blouse in - it looks like it fits very well from the picture. Moving the buttons over just might take up what feels like 'it's too big!' Overall, it really looks well done and for the most part is a good style for you -- I'm hoping you don't take what I have said as criticism because I really had just hoped to give you some help -- good luck!
I also forgot - that top part by the collar that sticks out might just be helped by a small snap -- it would hold that corner down.
Check the shoulder seams before making the "good" blouse. Looks to me like one shoulder seam is longer than the other. When you are first learning, it's hard to get everything just right. Don't give up!
I think as a muslin, this is a great first fit! The sleeves clearly have gathers, but if you have an issue getting them to fit in smoothly, best to do how these look here and just make them both gathered deliberately! Then it looks like you meant to do it :) Can't wait to see your finished version!

Now 19 years old, Rojik has tripled his business over the past three years.
"I try to make animals look as natural as possible. If I can do that and get them to really look like they did while they were alive, I'm extremely happy," Rojik said.
He is the son of Wendel and Janelle Rojik.
Both McMahon and Rojik are members of the Juniata Valley FFA.

1. Use a slowcooker. It is the *best* way to cook the cheaper fattier cuts of meat. Well cooked (> 8 hours) fat is not gristly at all.
2. You can get coconut 'oil' in glass jars....
1. What if I hate fatty meat? I made a dish with vegetables, seasonings, and beef stew meat which I simmered until tender in water. The beef was tender, but the patches that were fat were so chewy and disgusting. I tried to just not think about it and swallow them, but some I had to spit out. Basically, I've always hated the gristly parts of meat and am used to trimming all I possibly can off.
The beef was organic, free range, and hormone/antibiotic free. It did not say grassfed, which leds me to believe it probably was not purely grassfed. However, it's the best I could do on my budget.
I guess what I'm asking is this the kind of thing you just have to push through until you get used to it, or is there a way to help?
2. About cocanut milk. Most recommendations say get the ones in cans. Well I'm not too keen on canned foods because of BPA and BPS (both hormone mimickers) in the linings. Not that paper cartons are that much better because they also have BPA in the lining, but I don't know of any cocanut milk in glass containers. Anyone have a solution or is there just not one?

Native Forest has BPA free cans but I do not know if their cans contain BPS. I have been wondering about it as I have a case of them in my kitchen. Maybe make your own from dried coconut. It's possible I have done it but I don't really like it and it was messy. However, I know people do make it regularly and love it so it's a personal taste thing.
Yeah that's a good question, and one of the problems with the fact that though the package must say what's in the food it doesn't have to say what's in the packaging.
The problem, though, is that there isn't a good replacement for BPA or BPS in can linings and, especially for acidic foods, a lining is very important or it'll eat away at the can.
Maybe I will try making my own cocanut milk.
You can ease into fatty cuts of meat if you prefer. I am super picky about pork shoulder, for example. I have actually made carnitas using pork loin and then fried up the meat in coconut oil to get a fattier taste because I was squicked out by the amount of visible fat on the shoulders available at the time. I have a chuck roast in the frig that will get a big vein of hard fat removed before it goes into the crock pot. I feel like that a huge step for me because at one time I wouldn't even have used such a fatty cut for pot roast. The smaller veins of fat don't faze me anymore.

No requirement to eat fatty cuts of meat. But I would just make sure you were getting enough fat from other sources.
If the fat is chewy then you haven't cooked it right. I cook my cheap cuts of meat on the lowest heat on the stove for 3-4 hours. Don't put in too much water - just enough to cover. Check every 30min or so. If it starts to stick to the bottom or the gravy is too thick, add some more water. The idea is to get a thick gravy that includes the fat rendered in the cooking along with gelatin. No way can I enjoy a casserole made from trimmed meat

Who Are Those Dogs in … The K9 Advantix/Advantage Commercials?
One of my favorite TV commercials using animals is the K9 Advantix commercials with the little singing puppy. There's one where he's written to thank his parents for the package with the K9 Advantix in it. (Which stopped all the biting, because those "fleas, ticks, mosquitoes really bother.") In fact, the commercial is titled "Camp" and you can watch it on the K9 Advantix site.) They have a new commercial with the little pup singing another song: There ain't no bugs on me There ain't no bugs on me. There may be bugs on some of you mugs, But there … Continue reading

After losing the Ranfurly Shield during the week, Taranaki took out their frustration on Southland as they rolled the Stags over 47-18 in their ITM match at Rugby Park Stadium in Invercargill this afternoon (Sun).
Taranaki put all their energy in to defending the Log of Wood this season, but Waikato romped past the Amber and Blacks on Wednesday night to take one of the most well-known prizes in New Zealand rugby and Taranaki were clearly hurt by the loss.
But, with their eyes on a home semifinal in the ITM Cup Premiership, they fought back from a 15-6 half-time deficit to power home against a hapless Stags outfit who committed a number of errors throughout the contest.
Southland came in to the game on the back of an 84-0 loss to Canterbury last weekend and Stags skipper Jamie Mackintosh took the unusual step during the week of penning an apology letter to the local newspaper on behalf of the team.
They tried to make up for the Cantabrian nightmare and looked the better side for the opening half as veteran utility back Matt Saunders found the tryline, while teenage halfback Tayler Adams also dotted down and Scott Eade booted a penalty and conversion.
Sadly that was as good as it got for the Stags as a rampant Taranaki team scored five second-half tries with backs James Marshall, Jayden Hayward, Frazier Climo and Jackson Ormond all getting in on the act.
Marshall finished with a double and was dangerous throughout the game from fullback, while Climo produced a fine individual display, including a perfect nine from nine off the tee.
Hayward joined the fray from the bench in the second spell and the No 12 provided plenty of impetus in attack and his 50m solo effort was one of the more impressive sights of the afternoon.
Taranaki round out their regular season campaign when they meet Wellington in the capital on Sunday, while Southland wrap up their regular season when they host fellow Championship side Manawatu in the deep south on Friday.
Taranaki 47 (James Marshall 2, Jayden Hayward, Frazier Climo, Jackson Ormond tries; Climo 5 con, 4 pens) Southland 18 (Matt Saunders, Tayler Adams tries; Scott Eade 2 pen, con) HT: 6-15

For Nothing Is Hidden
by: William C. Brownson
Question: In a Christian publication there was a teaching that everything we have ever thought, said, or done will one day be displayed for all the world to see and judge. What a horrible thing to look forward to! It's anything but a future blessing! (from Minnesota)
Answer: It's true that human efforts at concealment will be unsuccessful. Whatever we try to hide will come to light. What we do under cover of darkness will become public in the day of judgment. The books will be opened, the secrets made known.
However, those sins that we have already confessed and repented, God promises to forgive and remove as far as the east is from the west (Ps. 103:12). He will cast them in the depths of the sea and remember them against us no more. We need not be apprehensive about past sins that we have confessed and forsaken. If we trust in Jesus we are cleansed; we are justified. It is not part of God's gracious purpose to humiliate his repentant, forgiven people.
So if you've been trying to hide your evil ways, give that up. Your sins will find you out. Repent and turn to Christ. "Whoever conceals his transgressions will not prosper, but he who confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy" (Prov. 28:13). But for those who are forgiven, we can anticipate the second coming without a fear of a public shaming.

Bodies of Evidence
Greetings, my friends.
I gather from remarks made by visitors who have come to inspect me in my present abode that some in the modern world find a degree of distaste and disgust in the idea of a human body placed on public view. This distaste is directed not solely at my own auto-icon (in which, as I have elaborated elsewhere, my skeleton is concealed beneath my clothes, and a waxen head substituted for my own), but at human remains in a variety of exhibitions and museums, including those in which the individuals in question breathed their last hundreds, or even thousands of years in the past. I am informed that, in response to such sensibilities, some museums have seen fit to remove such remains from display, and even to assign them for reburial. In my own case, the question is the less contestible, in that it was my expressed desire before death that the corruptible parts of my body should be subjected to a
public dissection, and the incorruptible retained as a public monument; but it becomes more contentious in respect of the remains of those who expressed no such desire, and who anticipated that their bodies would lie in their graves until the Day of Judgement.
It does not seem to me that the world has improved in its attitudes towards the remains of the dead. There is, of course, a very proper revulsion at close contact with a corpse in a state of putrefaction, founded on the natural desire to avoid exposure to the agents of infectious disease, but such revulsion becomes quite irrational when extended to the incorruptible skeletal parts of the body, or to corruptible remains which have been so treated as to arrest the natural processes of decay. The difficulty is that, with rising standards of medicine, health and hygiene, all naturally to be applauded in themselves, your society has become increasingly less accustomed to the reality of death, and unduly fastidious about mortality and its physical manifestations; and I am by no means confident that this ignorance and denial of death is greatly to be preferred to the horror of the imminence of death which existed in my day. In many ways, I would contend, we, who were confronted with death almost on a quotidian basis, had a healthier attitude of mind towards the subject. I recall, when I was a boy at Westminster School in the 1750s, how it was still possible in Westminster Abbey to see, to touch, and even to break fragments off the withered body of Queen Katherine de Valois, wife of King Henry V: she had died in 1437, but her embalmed carcase was taken from its grave in the course of building works in the reign of King Henry VII, and for one reason or another she was never reburied, but was instead allowed to remain exposed to the public gaze, an object of curiosity to schoolboys and to others.
My idea in promoting auto-iconism was ever the utilitarian one of turning the dead to the beneficial account of the living: that is to say, of placing the interests of the living, who possess the desire and potential for happiness, over those of the dead, who have none. The uses for the dead that I envisaged were essentially but two, anatomical instruction and the creation of memorials; but the advances of scientific technique since my day mean that, through close physiological study, bodies and skeletal remains may now be of service to the living in an extraordinary variety of ways, to advance knowledge not merely of the unwritten biography of an individual – of the environment and circumstances in which his or her formative years were passed, of illnesses suffered and traumas experienced – but also, when studied in sufficient numbers, of the diffusion of disease, of the evolution of pathogens, of the past dietary habits of communities, and of processes of demography, migration and anthropology. I have taken a close interest in two archaeological inquiries which have taken place in late years in Spitalfields, within a stone's throw of my own birthplace in Houndsditch. In the more recent, in excess of 10,000 burials were excavated from the cemetery of the mediaeval priory and hospital of St Mary Spital, and even now are rendering up a fuller understanding of the origins, and the medical and social histories, of our long-dead London ancestors; in the other, undertaken some twenty years since, almost a thousand of my near-contemporaries, who died in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, were excavated from the crypt of Christ Church, Spitalfields, and, in conjunction with documentary records which enabled names to be assigned to individuals, were able to provide your world with many new insights into mine, and to supply pathological evidence for the study of disease and environmental conditions in the historic past.
Against such investigations are raised the objections of those who would argue for the rights of the dead to rest in peace. It is an arrant nonsense to suggest that the dead have 'rights', but I will concede that it is as well not to upset too greatly the sensibilities of the living. The Church of England, acting in conjunction with a body named 'English Heritage', published in 2005 a tract offering guidance on the proper treatment of human remains excavated from Christian burial grounds, which attempts to tread a delicate path between the polarities of opinion. Even the theologians contend that 'a corpse has no more eternal significance than an empty shell', although they argue nonetheless that human remains should be treated with dignity. Among the tract's recommendations, the authors urge that, 'after scientific studies have been completed', remains should be reinterred. That is all well and good, but it begs the question of when, in this age of revolutions in scientific methodology, practice and technique, the point of 'completion' of study might be deemed to have been reached. Anticipating such an objection, the authors further suggest that accumulations of bones might henceforth be deposited for the intended future benefit of researchers in dedicated stores located in redundant, but still consecrated, church buildings, or in unused parts of churches in active use; and I understand that a handful of such receptacles are indeed now in existence. This nice distinction between unconsecrated and consecrated stores seems to me something of a chip in porridge, but the compromise is one that would appear to satisfy all parties.
The debate becomes still more heated in the sometime colonies of Australia, South Africa and the Anglo-American United States. Here, many of the bodies or portions of bodies which have in the past been deposited in museums and institutions have been those of the indigenous inhabitants of those territories, whose remains were gathered up by European explorers and settlers as if they were mere zoological specimens or curios. In some cases, indeed, they were carried to this country, and placed in museums of anthropology or natural history here. In response to changing sensibilities, many such remains have now been returned to their lands of origin, and entrusted to those who may claim a common ethnic ancestry with the deceased person, for disposal in accordance with local religious beliefs and customs.
Mistake me not, I was never a friend of colonies and colonial dominion, which I saw as a deplorable waste of the resources of the colonial power for scant benefit, but I cannot help but consider that the pendulum is in danger of swinging too far in this new direction. In one hotly contested instance, that of 'Kennewick man', a skeleton discovered in 1996 on the banks of the Columbia River in the State of Washington, was declared, after due technical examination, to be some 9,000 years old, and of great scientific interest as the remains of one of the earliest humans known from the North American continent, dating from that antediluvian age when Siberia and Alaska were joined, allowing transmigration from Asia to America. However, the native Americans on whose ancestral lands the skeleton was found, most particularly a tribe named the Umatillas, claimed the skeleton as one of their own, and demanded the right to rebury it without delay according to their custom. The case went to law, and the initial decisions were that the Umatillas had a just claim: only after much delay, vexation and expense did the Court of Appeals decree in 2004 that the bones might be retained for continued scientific examination . Even then, in 2005 Senator John McCain sought in Congress to amend the relevant legislation to broaden the definition of 'Native American', so that these and similar discoveries might yet be claimed by indigenous tribes without the need to prove an ancestral link. The session ended without the bill being enacted, and I understand that Senator McCain's attentions have since been diverted elsewhere, but I think I may say with truth that the contest is not yet over.
Your ever laborious and devoted servant,

I don't know whether it's in existence now or not. But at the time it was a millionaires' club, and that's the way you got in--you had to have a million dollars to get in. They had a party on a Saturday night at the Jabberwock Club in Antigua. It was a private party, but we didn't know it, the three of us--the math teacher [John Perry] and I [Richard Langford], and Spook [George] Ptacnik the cook. We got dressed up and we went to what we thought was an open nightclub, and it turned out to be a private party that some developer down there, a fellow named Johnson, was giving for his daughter. And we met the manager of this club, who happened to be Mexican, and George [Ptacnik], the cook, spoke Spanish with him, and they became instant friends, and he said this is Saturday, tomorrow's Sunday, come on out to the Mill Reef Club and you can visit it, but next time you come back you have to have a million dollars.

Composer Claude Bolling's Real Switch Isn't Trains but Luring Rampal & Pinky into All That Jazz
Bolling's irreverent blend of melodic classical chords with upbeat jazz phrasing turned out to be commercial too. When established record companies wouldn't touch it, Bolling founded his own label to release his 1975 collaboration with Rampal, Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano. It made the LP Top 10 in the classical and jazz categories, and now 230 weeks later is still on the classical charts, along with Bolling's classical-jazz effort with Spanish guitarist Angel Romero and pianist George Shearing plus a third album with Pinky Zukerman. For Picnic Suite, his newest release, guitarist Alexandre Lagoya and Rampal joined together. "I did it initially as a game," says Bolling of his mix. "But many great classical musicians ask me to write them a classical-jazz connection, and I can't refuse." As for his next collaborators, he discreetly won't name the artists, just the instruments: oboe, trumpet, French horn and cello.
Bolling, 50, a true Renaissance music man, also has written seven books on jazz and swing plus the score for 32 films, including the Belmondo delight Borsalino and Neil Simon's California Suite. When the "solitary work of composing," as Bolling calls it, becomes too oppressive, he performs. He conducts a popular Parisian swing group called the Show Biz Band four times a month "as a hobby" and gives piano recitals that take him around the world. In 1976 he played Carnegie Hall with Rampal.
His musical heritage stretches back to the reign of Napoleon III: Bolling's great-great-aunt was a court pianist. Young Claude discovered the piano at age 11. His father, an auto parts salesman in Cannes, and his mother, who got a divorce when he was 7, had little interest in music, but his maternal grandmother, Marguerite Chabellard, was herself an accomplished pianist. She made sure Claude had the best piano teachers on the Riviera. By the time he was 15 Bolling had quit school and moved to Paris to pursue music with the likes of Rex Stewart and Sidney Bechet. Wearing short pants and propped up on telephone books, he would pound the keys in jazz clubs. "I was," he admits, "the curiosity of the Left Bank." Within three years he was the leader of a seven-man Dixieland group titled Bolling and His Hot Seven. Then, after playing his way through military service as a slide trombonist in French army bands, he jammed and performed with Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie and Earl Hines. "They taught me a lot," says Bolling.
In 1959 he married Irene Dervize, then a reporter for Paris Match. Outside the church a jazz band serenaded the newlyweds, and after that auspicious beginning the Bollings settled into a pattern of musical domesticity in the Parisian suburb of Garches. Irene mothers their two sons, David, 12, and Alexandre, 9, and works for the TV magazine Télé 7 Jours. Claude composes at home, stopping occasionally to play with his model train collection or to fastidiously rearrange their three-story house. "I dread losing time," he says. "So instead of doing nothing, I organize." As for his classical-jazz fusion, he shrugs, "I didn't want to create a new musical system; yet now I'm the prisoner of it."

New Navigation System guarantees NO SPEEDING FINES
December 5, 2006 In an extraordinary move, a new Satellite Navigation device has been developed that comes with a guarantee that users will not pick up any speeding ticket from any speed camera in the UK. The supplier of the Rossini Navigator & Camera Spotter offers a unique guarantee to pay UKP60 to any motorist that picks up a speeding ticket whilst using the device if no advance warning of the camera is given. Logically, if you don't button off the pedal once warning has been given, you're on your own but the guarantee is nonetheless remarkable as the Rossini Navigator identifies more than 24,000 potential speed traps on 270,000 miles of roads throughout the UK and Ireland. Unlike many camera locators the Rossini Navigator has been programmed to warn of mobile speed camera sites and traffic light red light cameras as well as every known Specs, Gatso and Truvelo speed camera in the country.
The driver is alerted with the words 'beware – watch your speed'. A warning appears on a touch operated screen five hundred metres before any camera. A reminder of the speed limit appears on the screen too. Motorists also have an option to be warned if they are exceeding the speed limit even where there are no cameras – and the new device is legal to use in the UK.
Mark Cornwall of Car Part Direct, the UK supplier said: "In order to appeal to our customers we had to provide value that TomTom, Garmin and the other players couldn't offer. What was needed was a first class SatNav package with postcode search, turn-by-turn, door-to-door journey instructions and first class speed camera spotter – because we offer a guaranteed £60 cashback the Rossini had to be 100% reliable. We tested it – it really does work. And above all it had to be easy to use."
The most recent statistics provided by the Government claim nearly 2 million motorists received speeding prosecutions. A further 124,000 were prosecuted for jumping a red light and caught by camera. A speeding ticket can increase a driver's insurance premium by 17% and a second speeding ticket can add up to 60% to a motorist's insurance bill according to AA Insurance.
Car Parts Direct has promised to supply free camera updates with the new Rossini Navigator until January 2009 for motorists ordering before New Years Day this year.
"They will have absolutely NO subscriptions to pay and be guaranteed against picking up a ticket," added Mark Cornwall.
The Rossini Navigator and Speed Camera Spotter is powered straight from the cigar lighter socket, is transferable between vehicles in seconds and ALL speed camera information is preloaded into the unit prior to delivery. The supplier claims it's out of the box and ready to use. The Rossini Navigator costs £399 delivered anywhere in the UK.

WILLIAMSPORT - Before Wednesday's District 4 Class A girls soccer semifinal, East Juniata coach Lori Goodling told her girls to pursue their dream.
Midway through the first period, it seemed instead the Tigers were in nightmare territory.
It finished more like a roller coaster ride, with the most unlikely goal of the game - East Juniata's McKayla Goodling sent a ball across the goal from deep in the corner, only to see it ricochet off the far post.

Press-Enterprise/JIMMY MAY
East Juniata's girls soccer team piles on McKayla Goodling to celebrate her game-winning overtime goal while Millville players, from left, Bree Milich, Emily Laubach and Madison Bower dejectedly walk off the field Wednesday at Balls Mills. East Juniata won the semifinal game, 4-3.
But instead of turning out, it went in - lifting the Tigers to a 4-3 overtime victory over Millville, and clinching a state playoff berth. East Juniata still has one more game to play in the district, Saturday's final against Loyalsock, a 1-0 winner over Southern Columbia.
"We needed it and it happened, and that's all you can say," East Juniata coach Lori Goodling said of the unusual goal. "Usually it's something a little different - but hey, we'll take the goal any way it comes. It's a great victory for them - they got past their little hurdle."
The Tigers have been stunned in this tournament the last few years, losing on penalty kicks and in overtime - and have seen the number of qualifying spots dwindle from four to two, meaning this one was a must-win.
Fact Box
*East Juniata plays Loyalsock Saturday
Early on, it seemed that Millville was set on winning it. The Quakers got the early lead when Madison Bower sent a free kick into the box, and sister Maci turned the ball into the net with her head just three minutes in.
In the 17th minute of play, Madison Bower made it a 2-0 lead when she found the ball at her feet at the top of the box, just astride the arc, and delivered a stinger that Tiger keeper Zetta Zettlemoyer was able to touch but not stop.
"We shut it down for the most part but the direct kicks and those kind of things hurt us," Goodling said. "We had our highs and lows. Let's hope the next game we go out and just play a whole 80 minutes of good solid soccer, and we'll be set."
To that point, East Juniata's chances were limited - the Tigers weren't getting anything dangerous, and were getting beaten at their feet despite better passing. They were fighting a team that was devoted to winning the possession battle, giving up only one good shot before the 2-0 lead, a Molly Scholl effort that was blocked out.
"I don't know if it was the wetness, or just worrying they needed to get by to get to states," Goodling said. "We received the ball well, but there were times we'd go to kick the ball and it would just spin off our foot. At times I thought we passed the ball well, and at other times I thought we kind of gave it away."
Kayla Hoke had the next best chance, midway through the first, but Quaker goalie Madison Henrie punched that one away.
Henrie never had a chance at the next one - on a back-and-forth move after a Tiger corner, Hannah Scholl crossed the ball past Henrie, and Michelle Mease headed it back into the net.
Millville had a quick drive in response to that, but East Juniata began to take control of the game, and just inside the 14-minute mark Scholl played helper again, this time from outside the box, giving the ball to Kasi Horning, who sent it straight in to tie the game.
Although East Juniata was in control of the play after that, and had most of the chances before the break, the tie stood after 40 minutes.
And the roller coaster started up the second hill just minutes into the second half when Madison Bower was all alone at the top. She beat the defense, then beat Zettlemoyer for a 3-2 lead.
She nearly added an insurance goal midway through the half, again capitalizing on a direct kick opportunity. The kick, from nearly 40 yards out, almost went in, but Bower was there for the rebound, and would have scored but for the goalie's best friend - the ball caromed off the post and was cleared.
Five minutes later, the game was tied when, on the play McKayla Goodling probably was trying in OT, Brooke Maneval curled one out of the corner to Kayla Hoke, who tied the game.
East Juniata had two chances to win in regulation. Maddie Trego set up an open Goodling, who slipped on the ball. And another dinged the cross bar in the final minutes.
