How To Tell Your Teenager Anything At AllGeorgia Getz
Recently I've been contemplating a big life change, which requires discussion and, hopefully, collusion and enthusiastic participation of my teenage daughter! Except...
I have broached the subject with her in careful increments, like one might feed a baby, spoon by spoon, accompanied by the distracting sound and motion of a choo choo train. But unfortunately, impending change for her feels more like a locomotive.
It seems I am failing when trying to bring up big, important, scary issues with my teen daughter in small, dismissive, happy ways. And so I sought professional wisdom on the matter, which is to say I googled "How to tell your teenager…" And Autofill supplied the rest:
After investigating the various oh my gah topics one may need to discuss with one's teenager, there appeared an agreement of advice:
- Don't spring news on your teen. While they are certainly more able to process complex information than a younger child, they have probably been living with their current set of circumstances for a large percentage of their years. In the case of my daughter, I'm asking her to embrace something different from what she has known for 85% of her life. Give them warning that you need to discuss something of importance, and ask for their help in selecting a good time to sit together to tackle the issue.
- They don't need to hear every detail. While it may be a tremendous relief to unburden yourself by sharing information with a confidante, remember that you are shifting that burden of information to your child. Try to simplify the message. It may already be difficult for them to hear what you're saying, so limit your communication to the Need to Knows.
- Be honest. While it may push your agenda to sugarcoat the downside of change, it does nothing to instill confidence in your credibility. Be sympathetic to any and all inconvenience and uncertainty.
- Give your teen some control. Allow them to set the timeline of change, or give them other ways of expressing their involvement with what is about to happen.
- Allow change to evolve organically. As much as is in your control, don't try to push the timeline, no matter how eager you are to move forward already! Change takes a period of acclimation.
- They have a right to their feelings. While it would be great if your teen was on board with your news, you should take pride in producing a well-formed person with experiences and opinions of their own to apply to this new situation. Embrace the fact they're not afraid to verbalize their own dissenting opinion. Often. And well.
- Have integrity. Before sitting with your teenager to give them any news at all, make sure that news is actually worthy of the both of you. If you make good choices based on careful contemplation of everyone involved, the authenticity of your decision making process will yield better overall, eventual, acceptance.
Good luck!

Is your new HFCS-free menu more expensive for the customer or is Jasons Deli absorbing that cost? Were absorbing it, and its not easy. It shouldnt be more expensive but yes, for us to go to a pure product it does cost us more. We are absorbing it, and were doing it incrementally. Were not able to just turn the whole ship around on a dime. Were taking a bit at a time. Weve had our vendors work with us, recognizing that were not a massive company but we do have some purchasing power.
Were absorbing it in some cases and in other cases these companies want to maintain the relationship with us so theyre doing everything they can to hold the point down. But at this point in time it is more money.
Do you think we could see a dramatic shift away from HFCS in the future? I think were at a whole new era of people understanding food and good food. These young X and Y Gen people are educated; they know. Theyre not going to let people shove stuff down their throats.
Its a campaign that cannot stop until we are delivering good food at a decent price to the American people. They buy into a lot of stuff because theyre exposed to so many commercials, so much false advertising that they believe. But its time the FDA and people stand up, and the restaurant people. When we converted to no trans fat we made a statement in the paper: Come to us. Well help you go trans fat free. Well show you our suppliers. Were not trying to beat the heck out of our competition. Were trying to do the right thing for the American people. And were not perfect. Weve got hurdles in our menu and our food product, but we think were on the right road. It just takes time. Any help we can get from huge companies like soft drink companies and federal agencies and the NRA, come on! Come aboard. Give people the right kind of food so we wont be faced with a generation thats sick.
Will it ever be possible to offer HFCS-free soft drinks? Were looking to do it. We have the fountain and were close to delivering a fountain drink that has cane sugar and no HFCS. And were really excited. There are companies out there doing that. We went to a major company two weeks ago and said: You may lose our business. And we may lose some of our business because were going to make such a strong statement, but we wish that you guys would deliver to us a HFCS-free [product]. Is that on your radar? And, you know what? They dont act like its on their radar. They act like theyre going to have to wait until theyre pushed in a corner because of costs to deliver whats really right for the consumer. So thats going to be a slow one. Thats what frustrates us, the soft drink side.
The most important question is how have your customers reacted to your switch? Theres this one soft drink that we put cane sugar in and took the HFCS out, it seems like theres a following for this type of stuff that we didnt even realize was out there. On our comment cards weve had nothing but positive reactions about this one particular product.
Now we have had some negative because were in your face with our signage and were saying some stuff that people are probably afraid to say. Weve had a little rebuttal from some of the corn industry like, It really isnt what you think it is. But were going to just try to move forward because we think its the right thing to do.

A Slidell man was arrested after police recently found 300 of images and videos of apparent child pornography on his computer, the Slidell Police Department announced today. George E. Bogovich, 30, was booked on 300 counts of child pornography.
Bogovich told detectives he had been downloading child pornography for years, but has never touched a child inappropriately, said Slidell police spokesman Assistant Chief Kevin Foltz.
Slidell Police Detective Brian Brown, who is assigned to the FBI's Innocent Images Task Force, is continuing to look into Bogovich's past to confirm he has not committed any other crimes involving children, Foltz said.
The investigation began when it was discovered Bogovich was trading images that appeared to be suspicious in nature, which possibly involved child pornography, Foltz said.
Brown began an undercover operation to confirm this, and on Sept. 28 Brown executed a search warrant at Bogovich's residence.
During the search, police found a laptop in one of the bedrooms with the 300 images and photos that Brown suspected to be child pornography after a search of the computer files.
He was arrested the same day. Bogovich is currently being held in the St. Tammany Parish jail under a $150,000 bond.

I've been going gray since I was 12 (I'm 29 now) and dyed it ever since then. March of this year, I finally decided I'd had enough and stopped dying it. The The hair at the front middle of my head is pure shocking silverwhite and I get comments on it all the time. Silver is threaded through the rest of my hair as well.
My hair and eyebrows are pure solid black, outside of the silver parts so it is definitely a high contrast look. I'm considering going to a stylist to see if they can use highlights to pull the silver out through the length of my hair so I can lose the line of demarcation from when I stopped dying without cutting it off and losing my pretty length.
Being unique is fun sometimes, others not so much - high flash cameras sometimes make me look bald in front because the hair is so white and silver it's almost translucent and in high flash shining off that and scalp it just isn't flattering lol.

BRIDGEWATER – The owner of a local travel agency who last month was charged with defrauding a South Brunswick family by claiming to book their trip to India may have scammed more than two-dozen other customers, according to police.
Bridgewater police has received complaints from 26 people in seven states who booked airline tickets to India and other countries through the agency HK Travels, which is owned by Seshmuda Sunkara.
On July 28, South Brunswick police charged the 39-year-old Sunkara with theft for allegedly booking a family a trip to India by using false ticket confirmation numbers. The South Brunswick family of nine, which had paid for the trip online and communicated with Sunkara through phone calls, discovered the tickets were fraudulent when they arrived at the airport, police said.
Bridgewater detectives have been investigating HK Travels -- which now appears to be out of business – on similar fraud charges, Police Detective Sgt. Luke Daley said today. The customers mostly paid for trips to India, he said, though the tickets were also purchased for other destinations.
Daley, who said investigators have been looking into HK Travels' business practices for two months, urged more people who have had similar problems with the company to call. "We want to alert people who have already dealt with them to come forward and let us know," he said.
Sunkara allegedly ran HK Travels out of her Milltown Road home in Bridgewater. The phone number listed on its website has been disconnected, and the business is no longer operating, according to the New Jersey Better Business Bureau.
Sunkara could not be reached for comment.
Daley said the travel agency faces possible charges of theft by deception in the latest cases.
Anyone with information should call Bridgewater Police Detective Scott Slepokura at (908) 722 4111 ext. 4156.

The NHL is like a desert, an ever-changing landscape where what was solid and static one day can literally vanish overnight and be replaced by something starkly different the very next.
Take the Southeast division for instance. For the past few years, the Washington Capitals were the dominant team: the leaders of the pack, the alpha dogs.
Last season though, the Caps faltered and the Florida Panthers rose from nowhere to claim the division for their own.
As we now head towards (hopefully) the 2012-2013 season, the Southeast division looks poised to change yet again. For the first time in years, it is anyone's guess who will come out on top. All five teams have made moves and choices designed to give themselves a leg up.
The Winnipeg Jets went out and acquired Olli Jokinen (NHL.com) although most would agree that the Jets simply have too many holes to fill for them to make a serious challenge for the divisional title this year.
The defending champion Panthers really did not do too much, although rumors of a trade for Roberto Luongo continue to be reported in places such as the Sun Sentinel. For whatever reason, the Panthers seem to be getting overlooked by many as being a real threat to repeat as Southeast division champions this coming season.
No, it is the other three teams—the Carolina Hurricanes, Tampa Bay Lightning and Washington Capitals—who have made the most noise in the offseason and all of whom seem determined to gain a leg up on the other.
The Hurricanes first went and made a huge draft day deal with the Penguins to acquire Jordan Staal to bring him to Carolina and play with his brother Eric (NHL.com): an immediate upgrade for the Hurricanes on offense.
Not satisfied, the Canes then went and snagged Alexander Semin from their division rivals via free agency (NBC Sports). As any Caps' fan knows, Semin has a huge amount of talent and potential, but he has a tendency to come up small when it counts most.
Meanwhile, the Lightning went in the other direction trying to shore up a defense that was a train wreck a year ago.
First they signed free agent defenseman Sami Salo (The Canadian Press via The Hockey News). They then signed perhaps the best defenseman on the market whose name was not Ryan Suter when they inked Matt Carle for six years (USA Today).
They then sought to perhaps find a new starting goalie as they acquired Anders Lindback from the Nashville Predators (ESPN).
The Capitals, perhaps the most balanced of the three teams, took a different approach and instead addressed the biggest need the team has had the past few years—finding a second line center—by executing their own draft day trade with the Dallas Stars for Mike Ribeiro (Washington Times).
The Caps also added some role players to the squad by acquiring players like defenseman Jack Hillen (Washington Post) and winger Wojtek Wolski (Washington Post).
Perhaps the biggest move the Caps made was taking a gamble that Mike Green would remain healthy, and that he could return to his prior form that resulted in consecutive 70 plus point seasons, as they signed Green to a new three year deal (Washington Post).
Oh and of course there is a new head coach in Washington as the Caps have brought in Adam Oates to take the reins (ESPN).
The question that Caps' fans everywhere have to be wondering—aside from whether there will be a season at all—is whether the team has done enough this offseason to counter the moves made by both the Hurricanes and Lightning? Can they compete with the Hurricanes and Lightning for the Southeast division title—or have they been passed by their rivals from Raleigh and Tampa?
It is a difficult question to answer or analyze. So let's break this down, piece by piece, to see if the Caps still have what it takes to reign supreme in the Southeast.

Dr. Catherine Wilbert's greatest challenge in addressing the more than 400 guests expected to attend the Slidell Memorial Hospital Women's Health Alliance "Look Good, Feel Good" fall seminar Oct. 25 at the Northshore Harbor Center might be deciding which of her many success stories to share.
A doctor of naturopathic medicine, nutrition consultant, culinary nutritionist and nationally recognized wellness expert, Wilbert is the owner of The Nutrition Company and Vitality Juice, Java and Smoothie Bar; owner, president, and product developer for PhytoCeutical Formulations; and creator of the all natural sugar alternative, Swerve™.
What is sure to be included in the inspiring message delivered by this accomplished medical and business professional will be the capability of reaching fitness goals and improved quality of life through health and nutrition.
Wilbert's commitment to fitness is not only evident through her dozen bodybuilding titles — did I forget to mention she holds three national championship bodybuilding titles — but also through her dedication to relating the role of nutrition in the prevention and treatment of illness, and her success working with people dealing with everything from weight loss to wellness issues.
The "Look Good, Feel Good" seminar will begin at 10 a.m. with one hour of free health screenings. (A morning fast is recommended for those planning to have their cholesterol level checked.)
Lunch and Wilbert's presentation will begin at 11:30 a.m., followed by a special fashion show featuring this year for the first time a slate of models, all of whom are cancer survivors.
Christian Dior makeup artist Jamie Lynn Hagen will be on hand to speak about the importance of looking your best and present a before and after makeover. Each guest will receive a Christian Dior sample.
Another highlight of this year's event will be the raffle of three luxury prizes: The first, a collection of unique and beautiful jewelry donated by Accents & Things; second, a basket of fine wines; and third, a collection of gift certificates from some of Slidell's favorite upscale restaurants. Raffle tickets, $5 each or three for $10, will be available at the seminar and luncheon.
Tickets to this fall tradition are $35 per person or $350 for a reserved table for 10. Tickets are available at Purple Armadillo Again, 1337 Gause Blvd., Suite 107; Accents & Things, 3056 East Gause Blvd.; Northshore Harbor Center, 100 Harbor Center Blvd.; and East St. Tammany Chamber of Commerce, 118 West Hall Ave., Slidell.
For sponsorship opportunities or details, call 985.639.8689 or go to email@example.com.
The Women's Health Alliance is dedicated to educating the community on issues related to women's health and is affiliated with Slidell Memorial Hospital.

We live our lives of human passions,
cruelties, dreams, concepts,
crimes and the exercise of virtue
in and beside a world devoid
of our preoccupations, free
from apprehension--though affected,
certainly, by our actions. A world
parallel to our own though overlapping.
We call it "Nature"; only reluctantly
admitting ourselves to be "Nature" too.
Whenever we lose track of our own obsessions,
our self-concerns, because we drift for a minute,
an hour even, of pure (almost pure)
response to that insouciant life:
cloud, bird, fox, the flow of light, the dancing
pilgrimage of water, vast stillness
of spellbound ephemerae on a lit windowpane,
animal voices, mineral hum, wind
conversing with rain, ocean with rock, stuttering
of fire to coal--then something tethered
in us, hobbled like a donkey on its patch
of gnawed grass and thistles, breaks free.
No one discovers
just where we've been, when we're caught up again
into our own sphere (where we must
return, indeed, to evolve our destinies)
--but we have changed, a little.

Despite J.R. Martinez's consistent charm and fancy footwork on Dancing with the Stars, on Monday even the show's frontrunner had an off night.
"We're all going to have a bad week," he told PEOPLE backstage after Monday night's show. "If America pulls us through, I'm going to bust my ass this coming week and I'm going to come back strong."
Coming off on the top half of the leader board despite a "substandard" performance according to judge Len Goodman, Martinez, 28, understands that not every week is going to win him glowing critical praise.
"It's week seven," he says. "I think every season when you get to this timeframe, you see everyone's injuries and you start to see other things, but [these are the weeks] where champions are made, so let's see who steps up and see who is able to enter the mental and physical pain and make it through."
Instead of being discouraged by the criticism, Martinez says he's only going to learn from his mistakes.
"It did kind of hurt in a way because of how much work you put in," he said. "But, at the same time, it motivates me."

The Ultimate Fighter veteran Junie Allen Browning was arrested on Tuesday in Henderson, Nevada.
According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Browning was taken to St. Rose Dominican Hospital's Siena campus after he ingested a reported 16 pills of Klonopin. The report also states that Browning tried to leave the hospital and while doing so he pushed a female nurse, punched a male nurse and kicked a male nurse.
The LVRJ report states that Browning yelled, "Do you know who I am? I will kill you and rape your family." Browning faces three counts of battery on a health care provider.

Roger Huerta. Photo property of the Ultimate Fighting Championship.
— Despite announcing his intention to focus on his acting career full-time, UFC lightweight contender Roger Huerta is now considering a full-time return to the organization following a split decision loss to Gray Maynard at last week's UFC Fight Night 19 that fulfilled his latest UFC contract. "I can't go out with two losses in a row," Huerts said. "I don't think I'm going to call it quits anytime soon. I'm still open to acting. Hopefully we get something going with that, but I'm not going to prioritize acting now. I'll still prioritize fighting. If the UFC wants me back, I'd be willing to go back." [Sherdog.com]

It seems that Scott Coker is channeling his inner Dana White.
Strikeforce's head honcho isn't primarily known for talking bad about anyone. It's precisely why Coker's San Jose-based promotion has become one of the most respected businesses in mixed martial arts. But with the UFC eager to steal away any and all above-average talent from the Strikeforce ranks, it's been Coker who has shown more of an aggressive side in recent weeks.

Two of five young people stabbed to death at a house party celebrating the end of classes at the University of Calgary have been identified.
Zackariah Rathwell and Josh Hunter were members of a local band called Zackariah and the Prophets.
Jesse Northey helped produce their first album and described the pair as talented, friendly guys.
Northey was at the band's album release show Saturday night at a Calgary bar, and says its a shame the two were killed.
Police say the suspect in the worst mass murder in Calgary's history is the son of a senior officer.
Local media reports have identified the alleged attacker as Matt de Grood, a 23-year-old student at the U-of-C.
A Facebook page under the same name says he completed a psychology degree and had been accepted into law school for the fall.
Police say they don't yet know what motivated the crime and first-degree-murder charges are pending.

NOVI -- Plans to build a Meijer store in the city of Detroit are in a holding pattern as the Walker-based retailer waits for the site developer to work out financing, cochairman and CEO Hank Meijer said.
Meijer, speaking at the International Council of Shopping Centers gathered in Novi, told the crowd Thursday his company was excited to move into the state's largest city, company spokesman Frank Guglielmi said today.
"We're looking forward to putting a store in the city of Detroit and we're just waiting on the developer," Guglielmi said.
"The status is the same as it has been for the last few months." It's been nearly a year since the retailer announced plans for the store.

One afternoon in my old neighborhood, a routine exit of our grade school bus with friends turned into something very different and unsettling.
That afternoon, we watched a custody battle play out in front of our young eyes. And we didnt even know it at the time.
A father came by in a car and told his kids to get in. In retrospect, we knew the whole thing seemed wrong, but dad had assured these kids mom knew about it.
Hours later, when our friends' mother returned home and her children were not there, the world seemed to stop in our neighborhood.
Like many children in our cul-de-sac, this brother and sister were latch-key kids, taking care of themselves while their single parents worked.
And in an instant, they were whisked away by someone they knew and trusted.
Those things stay with you as a child. And those memories come flooding back as an adult as I follow the story of the three missing children from our own community here in Harrisonville.
It's not something I discuss a lot, but I am a single father. Of course, my wonderful daughter Adaline also has a wonderful mother, Aimee, and we share custody of her.
In the best way possible, we together on our time with Addy, major life events, birthdays, time with the grandparents and holidays.
In my opinion, there is no place for hatred, maneuvering or obstacles between parents when you are co-parenting.
Even if you cannot show your child an example of a successful marriage, you should show them examples of successful parenting.
I don't know the situation between the two parents here locally. I wouldn't even begin to try and fathom what has gone on previously with custody issues there. And beyond what I have read about the mom's plea to see her children more, I don't know what would have possessed her to break that parental trust and take her kids away from the house and lives they knew without consulting the father.
But again, each situation is different. The problem is, the different in this situation could be detrimental to the children.
Parents that do not work together for the betterment of their kids are not setting them on the right path for adulthood and, hopefully, successful relationships for their future.
The children have been located and will be reunited with their father soon back in Cass County.
Taking them to another country will prove to have been a terrible idea for the mother. I just hope these kids get the support and guidance they need as they transition back. Much of that has to start with the parents.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said he "did not consider" the possibility of annexing Crimea. Then he annexed it.
Since then he has said: "We do not want to divide Ukraine; we do not need that."
But the Russian military has massed forces at Ukraine's borders. And Russia's government has enacted punitive economic actions against Ukraine, including raising the price of gas, demanding loan repayment and shutting its border to imports from Ukraine.
Mr. Putin, in the same speech that offered unconvincing assurances about not wanting to divide Ukraine, called Kiev, its capital, "the mother of all Russian cities."
In other words, when Mr. Putin says he has no intention of grabbing more territory, watch out. His disclaimer of any further land-grabbing in Ukraine beyond Crimea would also be more credible if the Russian media - now largely dominated by Mr. Putin's sycophants - began reporting truthfully about Ukraine's new government.
Instead, Mr. Putin's mouthpieces portray it as full of, to use his own words, "neo-Nazis, Russophobes and anti-Semites" who had launched a "coup" against Ukraine's president (and Putin ally) Viktor Yanukovich.
The truth is that Mr. Yanukovich voluntarily fled the country even though the opposition had agreed with him on a plan for elections to replace him. He did not wait out the inevitable protests, but swiftly left office.
It is clearly Mr. Putin's intention to keep the threat of further annexation alive despite his assertions to the contrary. The last time Europe saw this kind of ethnic-based assault on international law and national sovereignty was when Serbia set out to redraw the map of the Balkans in the early 1990s under Slobodan Milosevic, who died in prison in 2006 while being tried in The Hague for war crimes.
By comparison, Mr. Putin has exercised military restraint - so far.
And so far, the Western response has been comparatively muted, including a punitive tit-for-tat on mild economic sanctions.
Yes, President Barack Obama and other Western leaders have called off June's planned G-8 summit in Sochi, Russia. Instead, they announced Monday that they hold a G-7 summit - minus Russia - in Brussels this summer.
And President Obama, in a speech delivered in Brussels Wednesday, correctly warned that the U.S. and Europe must stand together against Russia's reversion to "the old way of doing things" - as in seizing territory through the threat or use of military force.
As President Obama explained, if Russia's aggression is rewarded: "That message would be heard not just in Europe, but in Asia and the Americas, in Africa and the Middle East."
On Thursday, President Obama called on Mr. Putin "to move back those troops and to begin negotiations directly with the Ukrainian government, as well as the international community."
Such blunt talk is welcome.
Unfortunately, identifying the problem doesn't solve it. Mr. Putin knows there's no realistic expectation of a U.S. or NATO military response to his aggression.
There's also no guarantee that stronger economic and diplomatic sanctions will deter Mr. Putin over the short term.
But the best chance of limiting his long-term expansion ambitions remains a united front by President Obama and the leaders of other Western powers.
And they should have no illusions about Mr. Putin's intentions - and put no faith in his word.

Public Consultation Launched on Linking Australian, EU Emission Trading Systems
5 March 2013: Australia's Department of Climate Change and Energy Efficiency (DCCEE) and the European Commission's Directorate-General for Climate Action (DG CLIMA) have launched an online public consultation on registry options for linking the Australian and European Union emission trading systems.
The DCCEE and DG CLIMA jointly authored a consultation paper on "Registry Options to Facilitate Linking of Emissions Trading Systems," which focuses on registry options for an interim link between Australia's Carbon Pricing Mechanism and the European Union Emission Trading Scheme (EU ETS). The interim link, to be established by 1 July 2015, will allow Australian businesses to use EU allowances to meet their obligations under Australia's cap-and-trade mechanism. In order to facilitate the linking process, the consultation outlines principles designed to ensure: fungibility of allowances, environmental integrity, ease of use, efficiency, protected access to allowances, and support for the development of international carbon markets.
The consultation paper also considers options for the full registry link that is to be established by no later than 1 July 2018, at which point businesses in Australia and the EU will be able to use carbon units from either system to meet their compliance obligations.
The DCCEE is further considering comments on amendments to Australian regulation needed to facilitate linking the two trading systems. The draft regulations are expected to be finalized by mid-2013. The DCCEE will use comments on the draft amendments to evaluate their potential unintended risks; practical operation and application; and consistency with the principles for linking registries outlined in the consultation paper.
Australia and the European Union agreed to link their emission trading systems in August 2012. The formal consultation on linking the two systems ends on 28 March 2013.

Health Management Associates (UNKNOWN: HMA.DL ) is returning to its roots, in a way. True to its name, the company has carved out a new division to provide what it terms "managerial and operational support offerings" to facilities not currently on its client list.
The reason, said the firm's Executive Vice President of Development, Pete Lawson, is that "we have found that many community hospitals may not be at the point where they are looking for a partner to buy, lease, or JV their hospital, but are instead looking for an expert to provide operational and managerial support."
Health Management Associates was established to provide management for hospitals, but eventually shifted toward ownership and operation of such facilities.

The Associated Press
SANTA FE — Big Tobacco's payments to New Mexico for smoking-related deaths are declining, joining a number of states that are seeing drops due to falling national smoking rates, a state economist told state lawmakers.
The Las Cruces Sun-News reports that state economist Elisa Walker-Moran said Monday that New Mexico expects to receive $38.6 million from tobacco companies this year, down from $40.9 million in 2010.
From The Associated Press
Businessman to challenge Lujan
SANTA FE — Incumbent Democrat U.S. Rep. Ben Ray Lujan will have a challenger.
The Santa Fe New Mexican reports that Rick Newton, a Taos businessman whose career includes high-profile deep-sea recovery projects, is slated Tuesday to formally announce that he will challenge Lujan as Republican.
LOS ALAMOS — Bandelier National Monument reopened the prehistoric park Monday to vehicular traffic for the first time since the Las Conchas fire this summer.
The Los Alamos Monitor reports that the park allowed automobile traffic back after what officials are calling a successful shuttle project.
The park also returns to dawn-to-dusk hours, with the temporary visitor center open from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The Upper Falls Trail has been cleared and partially rerouted to the Upper Falls overlook.
• Story Time at Carnegie Library, 10:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m., Wednesday, Nov. 2, in the children's area of the public library. This week's book is "Toy Story; Move Out!" by Apple Jordan and the character theme is "Woody and Buzz." The theme for the month is "Popular Characters."All programs are free and open to the public.
Submit your calendar items and notices to email@example.com
• The Las Vegas / San Miguel County Chamber of Commerce is now accepting entries for the Electric Light Parade, the theme is "Christmas in Candyland." Organizations that would like their events to be included in the Chamber Holiday Poster and Newsletter are asked to submit their program as soon as possible. Parade float applications, event submission forms and volunteer sign up roster are at the Chamber of Commerce 1224 Railroad Ave. 425-8631.
Las Vegas has endured a too-high homicide rate in recent years — comparable per capita to such troubled cities as Detroit. Still, such incidents seem far away for many of us who remain seemingly insulated from such violence.
However, an attack last summer, retold in an article last week, brings this city's crime rate even closer to home. It's a bleak reminder of how fast someone's life can be changed by the violent actions of another.
One of the greatest features of my new toy, my iPad, is the ability to add "apps," that is, applications that do different things. The one I like but can't control is named, simply, "Population."
It resembles a car odometer. It's digital, and the columns showing units and tens run fast. Last Friday, the last time I checked before now, the count was 6,9099,587,471. The time was 5:33 p.m. Watching the counter moving, I timed it for exactly one minute, during which the estimated population climbed by 148 people.
While the Fort Lewis College women's soccer team has enjoyed lofty national rankings this fall, unlike the Skyhawks' first-round Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference tournament opponent New Mexico Highlands, not much has separated them on the pitch.
On Sept. 30 at Perkins Stadium, the Cowgirls lost 3-2 in overtime to Fort Lewis, then the No. 3 ranked team in NCAA Division II.
Then on Oct. 23, the Skyhawks held on for a 2-1 verdict in Durango, Colo. FLC was ranked 14th at the time.

Modernism and the (Im)Possible ōTime of the Nowö (NeMLA, April 3-6, 2014)
United States

Announcement ID:
45th Annual Convention, Northeast Modern Language Association (NeMLA)
April 3-6, 2014
Harrisburg, Pennsylvania
Host: Susquehanna University
ōEach now is the now of a particular knowability. In it, truth is charged to the bursting point with time. (This point of explosion [ģ] coincides with [ģ] the time of truth.) It is not that what is past casts its light on what is present, or what is present its light on what is past; rather, image is that wherein what has been comes together in a flash with the now to form a constellation.ö - Walter Benjamin
This panel is interested in how the ōtime of the nowö has been represented in modernist literature, and whether an experience of the present ¢ such as Virginia WoolfÆs ōmoments of beingö ¢ is even possible. Martin HõgglundÆs Dying for Time (2012) elaborates the logic of ōchronolibidoö to reflect on our fundamental investment in a temporal existence that is necessarily always subject to loss. There is an inherent trauma in temporal experience, because there is no possibility of experiencing the present as such: the ōnowö is either always not yet or always already over. Given recent approaches to temporality, including those by Hõgglund and Michael Clune, we hope to reconsider how literary representations of time have refuted or defended the possibility of experiencing the present moment. Drawing from a tradition of attempts to understand and explain the experience of the present, such as BenjaminÆs ōconstellationö or HõgglundÆs ōchronolibido,ö we invite papers that engage with philosophical and theoretical approaches to modernismÆs representation of the ōnow.ö Send 250-word abstracts and brief bio to Matthew Scully at email@example.com and/or Nell Wasserstrom at email@example.com.
Deadline: September 30, 2013
Please include with your abstract:
Name and Affiliation

The 2014 event will include guest speakers, literary readings, professional events, and workshops. A reading by George Saunders will open the Convention. His 2013 collection of short fiction, The Tenth of December, has been acclaimed by the New York Times as: ōthe best book youÆll read this year.ö NeMLAÆs Keynote Speaker will be David Staller, Producer and Director of Project Shaw. Mr. Staller presents monthly script-in-hand performances of Bernard ShawÆs plays at the Players Club in New York City.
Interested participants may submit abstracts to more than one NeMLA session; however, panelists can only present one paper (panel or seminar). Convention participants may present a paper at a panel and also present at a creative session or participate in a roundtable. http://www.nemla.org/convention/2014/cfp.html

Eliet lawn advice: when to sow?
The ideal and most natural period of the year to sow grass is autumn (September-October). At this time of year the average precipitation and temperature are optimal for grass growth and seed germinates quickly and evenly due to the longer humid and warm nights. There is also less chance that the grass will become overgrown with weeds. Grass can also be sown between April and May with the advantage that you have faster results.
The garden in September
Shorter days, sultry temperatures, late summer has begun. The end of summer is great for the garden. The days are often still warm and in the morning there is a beautiful dew on nature.

All About Water!
The owner/founder of Aquaglide, David Johnson, is so passionate for all things water that he relocated his business, North Sports, Inc., to White Salmon, WA in 1995. Aside from building and maintaining Aquaglide, Inc., North Sports has also grown and currently oversees the distribution for several of the largest brands in the kiteboarding and windsurfing industry.
Located at the heart of the Columbia River Gorge, there is an outdoor sports mecca – the small town of White Salmon. On any given summer day, you will find hundreds of colorful kits and sails enjoying clear water and warm winds in "The Gorge." Days when the wind is not blowing (therefore allowing for flat-calm water conditions) are perfect for wakeboarding, towing, waterskiing, padding, or just lounging in the sun. For this reason, the Aquaglide brand was created in 2001.
The Aquaglide brand has grown steadily over the past 13 years encompassing a complete line of watersports products. It all began with its first product, the sailing inflatable Multisport. Some of Aquaglide's products include:
Platinum Trampolines
Commercial Grade Aquapark Products
Along with all of Aquaglide's brand growth, the staff has grown as well. Currently Aquaglide covers over 35 countries, which means international distribution is expanding at a rapid pace!
Even with Aquaglide's growth, most things have not changed. Throughout its growth, Aquaglide products remain first and foremost because of the company's passion for all things water! Most of Aquaglide's employees choose to work with Aquaglide because they enjoy the products and love the lifestyle.
"All About Water," the Aquaglide slogan, is a statement about this shared enthusiasm. It also represents a connection with Aquagide's customers. The Aquaglide brand continues its commitment to innovation, service and quality.
