The four step vintage desk set from Jen Goode is an easy way to make your office seem retro vintage. Use vintage paper and start crafting!
- Various recycled containers, clean and dry (soup cans, small boxes, etc.)
- Paper, various patterns
- Aleene's tacky glue
- Rubber bands
- Straight edge
- Pencil
- Scissors
- Make a pencil/pen holder using a soup can, measure paper to cover leaving 1/8″ space on top and bottom of can for edges to show. Make sure to allow a little overage to overlap when wrapped.
- Using the edge of your scissors against a straight edge, score the paper and then fold and tear so you have a nice rough trimmed edge.
- Liberally cover back of paper with glue and wrap around can. Wrap rubber bands around can to hold paper in place.
- To line inside of can, repeat the above steps to trim then place paper carefully inside the can. Hold in place for 30 seconds to ensure the paper adheres well.
- Continue to measure and cut paper to cover and line additional containers for each item you'd like to create. Because this is vintage inspired, rough cut and torn edges along with weathered corners are ok, it adds to the feel of the piece.
- For the business card box, I mixed and matched different papers for the inside coverage.
- For the clippy tub I used a cut out of an image from the same paper set to cover a gap where the paper pattern was short.

Changes to Fatah boost pragmatists
Delegates wait to cast their votes at the Fatah conference in Bethlehem. For once, there was little fractiousness
The election of new blood to the Fatah movement's top ranks has brought hope that Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas will gain ground against political rivals Hamas.
"Those Israelis who really want a peace process that will last should be happy with the congress. Those like Netanyahu who want everything and to give up nothing should be unhappy," said Nabil Shaath, a veteran peace negotiator and one of the few members of the movement's old guard re-elected to Fatah's central committee.
Mr Abbas convened a broad leadership gathering for the first time in 20 years, avoiding splits, walk-outs or fiascos from a group known for fractiousness and self-defeating behaviour. He can now be seen as leader on his own merit, not merely the successor of founder Yasir Arafat.
This comes as Arabs and Israelis alike wait for Barack Obama to relaunch Israeli-Palestinian negotiations.
Sipping lemonade in a café near the Terra Sancta School where the 2400 delegates met, Mr Shaath was in buoyant mood. He savoured not only his own victory but the sense that, with its new leaders, Fatah was finally regaining ground lost to the Islamic fundamentalist Hamas movement when it was trounced in the 2006 elections. "The media portrays the winners as young, but these are hardly babes in arms," he explained. "They are very seasoned people who have been waiting for years." The average age of the central committee has dropped from 63 to 55, he added.
The hope of Fatah — and of some Israelis — is that the new leaders like Marwan Barghouti will have more popular appeal than the old guard of former Arafat cronies who were associated with corruption and failed negotiations with Israel.
Mr Barghouti is serving five life sentences for the murder of four Israelis and a Greek monk, but some Israeli leaders say they had reasonable relations with him before the outbreak of the second intifada.
Avishai Braverman, Israeli minister for minority affairs, last week called for Mr Barghouti's release.
Other winners from the Fatah congress were Mohammed Dahlan and Jibril Rajoub, former security chiefs in Gaza and the West Bank.
Yossi Alpher, former director of the Jaffee Center for Strategic Studies, welcomed the election results. "While they are not pussycats and have plenty of demands, my impression is that these people are more pragmatic because they know us. Many of them speak Hebrew. There is more of a chance an agreement can be made," he said.
Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman was less sanguine, condemning Fatah's "uncompromising" positions.
The congress set 14 conditions on peace talks with Israel, including a complete freeze on settlement construction and the release of all Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails.
The Fatah gathering stressed its commitment to a negotiated peace while emphasising that the Palestinians have a "right to resist the occupation".
Mr Shaath argued that there is no contradiction: "So long as Israel is an occupying power by military arms, the right of Palestinians to resist is universally accepted by international law and the charter of the UN. This is our right but we decided not to exercise it."

Is Jay Cutler the next Jeff George?
Brian Billick made an interesting comparison today, wondering if Jay Cutler is the next Jeff George. Naturally, bears fans should be terrified by the prospect, though many of them were dumbfounded when the Bears gave him a monster contract extension.
The comparison may be appropriate in that both men have great arms along with a gunslinger mentality when playing the position. But that often leads to disaster of course unless you're Dan Marino or Jim Kelly, and even those guys didn't win Super Bowls.
With Cutler, we're seeing way too many mistakes, and you have to wonder what's going on in Chicago.

The feud continues ... sort of.
After Lady Gaga slammed Kelly Osbourne in an open letter – the pop star dissed the Fashion Police host, saying, "Your show breeds negativity" – Osbourne isn't fighting back.
"All I have to say on this subject is that I love Lady Gaga!" Osbourne, 28, told PEOPLE Saturday in L.A., where she appeared at the Art of Elysium Sixth Annual Heaven Gala. "I made stupid mistakes when I was 25, as well, when I accused people of doing things that were wrong. We all live and we learn, and like I said, I'm a big fan of hers."
Last week, Gaga, 26, responded to Osbourne's confession to Fabulous Magazine that she was being bullied online by Gaga's fans by posting an open letter online.
"I have empathy for you Kelly, but I feel it culturally important to note that you have chosen a less compassionate path," Gaga wrote. "Your show breeds negativity, and over the years has even become comedic in nature. It glorifies you and Joan Rivers pointing in the camera, laughing, and making jokes about artists and celebrities as if we are zoo animals."
Those comments caused Osbourne's mother Sharon to chime in with her own remarks. "I am calling you a bully because you have 32 million followers hanging on your every word and you are criticizing Kelly in your open letter," Sharon wrote in her own open letter on Facebook. "Are you so desperate that you needed to make this public?"
The singer responded again to Sharon's comments on Facebook Saturday, writing, "My letter to Kelly Osbourne was open, because her statements on cyber-bulling were public & as a youth activist I'm compelled to be involved."
What does Kelly think of her mom coming to her defense? "I have no control over my mother," Kelly tells PEOPLE. "She can do whatever she wants."

In the week between former Warren Mayor Michael J. O'Brien announcing he was going to try for a seat on the Trumbull County Board of Elections - a seat Niles Mayor Ralph Infante had and was going to try to keep - the match-up was a hot topic of interest.
Who was going to win was the big question. The answer always seemed to be Infante, the Trumbull County Democratic Party vice chairman.
That sentiment continued into Tuesday night at Trumbull Business College, where 77 of the 80 executive committee members met to vote. Inside the Ridge Road building, the mood was that the race belonged to Infante, and it ultimately would.
Infante won with an impressive 65 percent of the vote.
O'Brien said he knew defeating Infante would be difficult, but he probably expected to show better than just 35 percent.
Both men have impressive resumes - decades of loyalty to the party, support of Democrat candidates and their own public service.
What tipped the scale in Infante's favor was his previous service on the board and his role as a principal officer in the party.
Democrats in 2008 picked Infante for the seat and then did so again last month to fill what was left of the term he started. Infante gave up the seat to run for re-election and when his replacement left, also to seek elected office, he was restored to the board.
Some of what he did while a board member, along with former board member and party chairman Christ Michelakis, included objecting to Republican efforts to eliminate occupied precincts in Trumbull County.
Infante said he agreed to reduce precincts that were not represented, but he would not budge on any effort to eliminate precinct committee member posts that were filled. ''That's the type of thing I fight for because I know what this club means to all Democrats,'' he said before the vote.
He also objected to health insurance being provided to board members.
Also helping Infante gain the upper hand is his capacity as vice chairman, one of three principal party officers. The other two are chairman and secretary.
In that role, Infante has the ability to directly appoint or influence the appointment of some executive committee members.
Part of the executive committee consists of 40 at large members named by the principal officers. The chair, vice chair and secretary can collectively pick the 40 or each submit a dozen or so names to be on the committee.
When there is a vacancy, the three officers can decide collectively or rotate the ability to choose.
The other members of the executive committee are elected by central committee members in 30 districts across Trumbull County. Also, the eight vice chairmen below first vice chairman and three principal officers are executive committee members, giving the committee 81 members.
Democrats picking Infante still must be confirmed by Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted, who has the ultimate authority to approve the recommendation.

The seventh annual Sandlapper Track and Field Classic will have its biggest field ever with 36 schools and more than 1,250 athletes expected to compete Saturday at West Ashley High School.
It just might be the best collection of talent ever with many individual state champions in the mix. Bishop England is the defending boys Class AA state champion.
"It's going to be diverse with the teams," West Ashley track and field coach Richard Luden said. "We'll have schools like Wando that will bring 80 athletes. We even have a school that will send one athlete — Cardinal Gibbons from Raleigh. They have a pole vaulter who has cleared 14 feet."
The boys sprints should be outstanding. Wando's Kenny Waring made a splash as a freshman at the Class AAAA state meet last May. He won the 100-meter dash in 10.7 seconds and was second in the long jump with a leap of 23-9.
Summerville's Davon Anderson was a sophomore at last year's state meet and won the 200-meter dash in 21.69 and finished third in the 110-meter high hurdles.
Brent Demarest of Porter-Gaud is one of the best distance runners in the state.
The girls meet will feature plenty of talent as well. Bishop England won the Class AA 4x800-meter relay, while Wando won the Class AAAA race. The Warriors' Georgia Compton is aiming to qualify for her fourth state meet in the distance runs.
SCISA stars
The SCISA North-South All-Star basketball games will be held Saturday at Wilson Hall in Sumter.
Local players selected to the boys Class AAA South team include K.J. James, Michael Preddy and Sterling Smalls, Porter-Gaud; John Eck and Randy Young, Hilton Head Prep; TayVaughn Major and Douglas Dwight, Northwood Academy; and Reid Radebaugh, Pinewood Prep.
Local players picked for the girls Class AAA South team include Amber Campbell, Antoinette Davis and Katelyn Powell, Northwood Academy; Ziaria Doe, Hilton Head Christian; and McKala Rhodes, First Baptist.
Presley Singleton of Northwood is the coach.
Local players selected to the boys Class AA-A South team include Greg Gamble and Bobby Winters, St. John's Christian; J.T. Waters and Joe Siegwald, Palmetto Christian; Therron Reddy, Faith Christian; Stokes Brownlee, Dorchester Academy; Tanner Crosby, Colleton Prep; Keynnard Campbell, Bible Baptist; and Raglan Gregg, Coastal Christian.
Bob Winters of St. John's Christian is the coach.
Local players selected to the girls Class AA-A South team include Corey Caulder and Julia Strout, Palmetto Christian; Laura Reynolds and Kendall Jumper, Colleton Prep; Miranda Weslake, Beaufort Academy; Carolina McAdory, Coastal Christian; Ashlyn Fralix, Dorchester Academy; and Alyssa Whitford and Akua Nelson, Bible Baptist.
Viking Cup
Spring Valley is hosting the 21st annual Taco Bell Viking Cup. The event, which showcases 32 of the top girls soccer teams and more than 700 players in the Palmetto State, got under way Thursday and concludes with the championship on Sunday.
This year's field includes Academic Magnet, West Ashley, Wando and Bishop England.

How You Can Help
MD Anderson Volunteer Story: Rick Reitz
When Rick Reitz saw how rewarding volunteering at MD Anderson was for his wife, he decided to give it a whirl. Thirteen years later, he still loves every minute of it.
"My wife, Pam, started volunteering at MD Anderson when a good friend of ours had cancer surgery there," he says. "Pam was so impressed with every aspect of MD Anderson that she immediately started to volunteer. After listening to the wonderful experiences she had every time she visited the hospital, I decided to try it too."
Since he began volunteering, Reitz has been a floor host in Gastrointestinal Medicine and Nutrition. He also has served for nine years as chair of the Volunteer Endowment for Patient Support. Several years ago, he started a ticket program that accepts donations of unused tickets to sporting and cultural events, which Volunteer Services gives to patients and their families.
"The people I meet are going through some really rough times," Reitz says. "I try to take their minds off the treatments and hospital stays. If I can put some fun and laughter into their lives, it really makes me feel great."
Although Reitz has a demanding career as an oil broker, he's on the job week in and week out. "I made a commitment to myself not to let business or personal matters interfere with my weekly MD Anderson visits," he says. "I know how important it is to patients and their families for me to be there."
It's important and satisfying for him, as well. "Volunteering at MD Anderson is more rewarding than all the donation checks I've ever written," he says.
He says it's the people who make a difference. "I see so much love and compassionate caring from the people who work and volunteer at MD Anderson. That's why I think we have the best hospital in the world."

US-ODD Summary

Symbol in Syriac may be world's first question mark
LONDON (Reuters) - What could be the world's earliest example of a question mark has been identified in Classical Syriac manuscripts dating from the 5th Century. The symbol, a double dot resembling the modern colon, is known as the "zagwa elaya," or "upper pair." Its function as a question mark was pinned down by Chip Coakley, a manuscript specialist at Cambridge University.
Fake Apple Store even fools staff
SHANGHAI (Reuters) - Chinese counterfeiters have had a field-day pumping out knockoffs of Apple Inc's best-selling iPhones and iPads but one appears to have gone a step further -- a near flawless fake Apple Store that even employees believe is the real deal. The store in Kunming was stumbled upon by a 27-year-old American blogger living in the city, the capital of China's mountainous southwestern Yunnan province.
Hotel snore controls aim to banish sleepless nights
LONDON (Reuters) - Guests at an international hotel chain may sleep more soundly after the introduction of "snore patrols" and "snore absorption rooms" at a number of sites worldwide. Crowne Plaza is trialing the first "snore absorption" rooms at 10 hotels in Europe and the Middle East, whilst six branches in Britain have implemented "snore patrols" this month in a bid to combat noisy sleepers.
Smackdown? Humble Pie? Not in Murdoch's NY Post
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Now it's Rupert Murdoch's New York tabloid that has pie in the face. The New York Post, which usually reports the humiliation of the powerful with gleefully pun-filled headlines and outlandish photo montages, whiffed on the chance to make a splash with the News Corp chairman's testimony on Tuesday before the British parliament.
Dog bites shark and goes viral
SYDNEY (Reuters) - It's got a big yellow dog, sharks, a dead dugong, attracted millions of viewers on YouTube and you couldn't make it up. Video footage of a dog attacking a shark under water on the Australian coast has "gone viral," becoming a top Internet hit.
Curiosity seekers in U.S. pay to spend night in jail
KANSAS CITY, Mo (Reuters) - The cheapest room and board in Jefferson City, Missouri, over the weekend was at the county jail, and 170 people gladly checked in. Cole County charged $30 a night for anyone who volunteered to go behind bars on Friday or Saturday night so officials could give the new jail a test run before it opened for real this week.
Men who buy sex commit more crimes, U.S. study finds
BOSTON (Reuters) - Men who pay for sex are more likely than men who do not pay for sex to commit a variety of offenses including violent crimes against women, according to research conducted in the Boston area. The study, released this week, was based on interviews with 202 men conducted by the nonprofit group Prostitution Research and Education and was led by Melissa Farley, a clinical psychologist and anti-prostitution activist.
Fatter and fewer German nudists as numbers dwindle
BERLIN (Reuters) - The naked sunbathers who once crowded Germany's Baltic beaches and city parks are becoming an endangered species due to shifting demographics, the fall of the Berlin Wall, growing prosperity and widening girths. Much to the chagrin of Free Body Culture (FKK) enthusiasts who have been stripping off their clothing on beaches and parks since the early 1900s, a cold wind has been blowing across Germany for nudists and their numbers are steadily dwindling.
Man survives in trunk after car plunges into river
SALMON, Idaho (Reuters) - A Washington state man was listed in satisfactory condition on Monday and was "incredibly lucky to be alive" after his car flipped into a river near the Idaho-Washington border, authorities said. Ned Florea, 20, squeezed through the rear seats and into the trunk of his two-door Hyundai Tiburon as chill, fast-flowing waters engulfed all but 6 inches of head room, creating a life-saving air pocket, Idaho State Trooper Leslie Lehman said.

Cocaine is the most potent stimulant of organic origin and the most widely used of the stimulants. Although cocaine has been used in the past as a topical anesthetic, its therapeutic uses have almost been eliminated due to the development of safer anesthetics. Cocaine is a powerfully addictive drug leading to physical and psychological dependence.
- dilated pupils
- increased pulse rate
- elevated blood pressure
- insomnia
- loss of appetite
- tactile hallucinations
- paranoia
- seizures
- anxiety, agitation
- periods of increased activity followed by fatigue and depression
- wide mood swings
- difficulty in concentration
- Cocaine stimulates the central nervous system. Its immediate effects include dilated pupils and elevated blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate and body temperature. In addition, cocaine use can lead to death by cardiac arrest or respiratory failure.
- Cocaine powder is sniffed or snorted. The euphoric high tends to last for approximately 30 minutes. Occasional use can cause a stuffy or runny nose, while chronic use can ulcerate the mucous membrane of the nose. Cocaine powder can also be injected into the bloodstream when it is mixed with water. Using contaminated equipment to inject cocaine, or any other substance, can transmit HIV and cause HIV/AIDS, hepatitis and other diseases.
- Preparation of freebase, which involves the use of volatile solvents, can result in death or injury from fire or explosion. Inhalation of cocaine fumes from freebasing produces effects that are very fast in onset, very intense and momentary in duration.
- Crack is cocaine that is processed into tiny chips having the appearance of slivers of soap. Crack has become a very popular form of cocaine, since it is inexpensive and relatively easy to use. It is smoked in a pipe or rolled with tobacco in a cigarette. Cocaine can produce psychological and physical dependency, a feeling that the user cannot function without the drug. Many users become extremely depressed when not using the drug, and the craving for the drug is intense. In addition, tolerance develops rapidly.
- Employees who fall under Federal guidelines such as the Department of Transportations testing regulations are prohibited from using cocaine in any form.
- The addictive nature and cost can lead to workplace theft and/or dealing.
- Work performance is erratic with periods of high performance and periods characterized by forgetfulness, absenteeism and missed assignments.

COLUMBIA A state panel has recommended extensive changes to South Carolinas weak ethics laws, but will legislators who would be governed by the new rules act on the proposals?
That question will likely be one of the dominant narratives for the remainder of the legislative session here after an ethics overhaul group appointed by Gov. Nikki Haley unveiled its report Monday.
A leader of the S.C. Commission on Ethics Reform, appointed via a Haley executive order in October, said the panels recommendations will place South Carolina at the national forefront of honest, open government if adopted.
Our people must have confidence and respect for our government, said Henry McMaster, commission co-chairman and former state attorney general. Our government at all levels ... must be above suspicion or it will not work.
In all, reform commissioners none of whom are sitting public officials made 23 recommendations.
What happens to the reform suggestions, and others from additional ethics reform panels, will be up to state lawmakers, who have appointed their own ethics reform study groups.
The establishment of the groups followed a series of high-profile ethics controversies during the past year, including Haley being cleared of allegations she used her former state House office for personal gain, and the indictment and resignation of former Lt. Gov. Ken Ard.
The following is a look at highlights of the reform commissions proposals:
Income disclosure
All public officials would have to report who their private employers are. Officials would also have to disclose immediate family members income from any government entity, a business that employs a lobbyist or a firm with government contracts. In only some cases would officials have to disclose the income amounts from private businesses. People are entitled to some amount of privacy, McMaster said.
Complaint changes
All ethics complaints would be handled by a beefed-up State Ethics Commission (the Haley-appointed panel recommends legislators provide additional funding to the commission). Currently, the House and Senate ethics committees receive complaints filed against current and former members. Unlike a House GOP panel examining state ethics laws, the Haley-created commission would not abolish legislative ethics committees. They would retain the power to discipline members for disorderly conduct and expel them. Also under reform commissioners plan, the State Ethics Commission would refer cases involving suspected criminality to a new multi-agency Public Integrity Unit led by the State Attorney Generals Office.
FOIA reform
Commissioners say the period to respond to an open records request should be cut from 15 days to seven days. And public bodies would have 30 days to fulfill a request. Currently, there is no specific time requirement for fulfilling a request. The exemption that allows state lawmakers to shield their correspondence from the FOIA would be abolished under the reform commissions plan. Disputes related to open records requests would be handled by administrative law courts, without the need for attorneys, unless the parties want them. The reform commission also wants to lower the cost of FOIA requests.
Political committees
Since a 2010 federal court ruling, anonymous groups in South Carolina have been able to raise and spend unlimited amounts of money from undisclosed sources to attempt to swing elections. The ruling meant that the state law that has previously required political action committees and other groups to follow limits on campaign donations was no longer in effect. The judge ruled the states previous definition of a committee was too broad. The reform commission has offered a suggested revision to state law that more narrowly defines the groups.
Leadership PACs
The Senate last year implemented a rule outlawing the operation of such groups associated with its members. But PACs associated with House members still exist, most notably the Palmetto Leadership Council affiliated with House Speaker Bobby Harrell of Charleston. Although the PLC is commonly referred to as a leadership PAC, it is technically classified by the State Ethics Commission as a non-candidate committee. Those leadership PACs are viewed, we think, by the public as a way to skirt the campaign finance limits on contributions to candidates, McMaster said. We must not only be clean and honest, we must look clean and honest.
Strengthen penalties for criminal violations of ethics laws and ban the use of campaign funds for payment of a prosecution related to ethics violations.
Revise the definition of lobbyist to include not only individuals who lobby the General Assembly, but also those who lobby other branches of state government and local public bodies.

I'm playing in a 2 QB league for the first time. Anything I should consider that I hadn't before in a single QB league? Differences of strategies especially? We drafted last night and every starting QB is now owned.

I should mention each team has 5 bench spots.
I would pick two quarterbacks in the first two or three rounds, but I guess it's too late for that now. Who did you end up with (and how many teams are in the league)?
I second this. The increase in the amount of QBs you start means that the elite QBs are even more valuable now.

Deputies: NC man arrested for pimping teen
A Raleigh man has been arrested after an 18-year-old woman said she had been under the control of a pimp for several years and was acting as a sexual servant in Greenville.
Pitt County sheriff's deputies were called Wednesday by a human trafficking hotline.
Deputies were told the woman said she had been traveling to several cities in the past five days. The teen told authorities the man had her working as a prostitute. She also said she had been beaten by another man.
Spokeswoman Christy Wallace said the woman has been placed in a secured location.
Tyrone McKeith Robinson Jr., 27, has been charged with human trafficking sexual servitude and solicitation of prostitution.

April 13th, 2012
If your article falls in a forest of print journals does anyone read it? Oh sure, it exists as an entry on your cv, but that might no longer be good enough as a measure of your scholarly impact. Today, if no one is reading your work, to some it doesn't exist at all.
This week our University Senate passed a motion encouraging researchers to deposit electronic copies of their scholarly work in MURR, the Memorial University Research Repository. This means, in effect, that your work will become freely available to the international world—the whole reading planet, that is. It's all about access, open access. Attending to the motion is a statement about (encouraging the community) to disseminate scholarly and creative work in open access journals—those without subscription barriers. This is the sign of open access, as designed by the Public Library of Science, worth a glance for its witty simplicity:
The operative verb in the motion on the floor is 'encourage.' As our Librarian stated on the floor of Senate, the motion before us was pretty soft, promoting open access, not mandating it the way some other universities have gone forward. What rational Senator, after all, would vote against a motion merely encouraging some kind of behaviour? Of course, the motion passed unanimously, but the brief discussion preceding the vote hinted at how far we still have to go towards a full appreciation of what open access is all about. To be fair, I can appreciate the current of doubt that informed some of the questions. Senators were given a list of examples of approved open access policies at North American universities. The list is shockingly short. It includes Harvard, the standard bearer in the open access debate, as well as Columbia, Duke, MIT, Stanford, and Princeton—not bad company, indeed. In Canada, the list includes Concordia, Queens, and Calgary.
Discussion about open access has been going on for years, with university libraries leading the charge, often battling the publishing industry that has so much to lose—or so they think– in the shift towards an open universe of information exchange. In 2005, the Canadian Library Association endorsed a resolution on Open Access, and our federal granting agencies have done the same. But, typically, lamentably, the academic world spins slowly, way too slowly in this case. So it is that some Memorial University Senators eyeballing the list would wonder about the merits of open access: if it was so good for dissemination why hadn't everyone joined the bandwagon? Was there a catch? Where was McGill or the thousands of other US universities?
There's no catch, of course—only ignorance about the benefits of open access, or resistance based on arguments coming from the publishers' lobby. Look, we all benefit from more popular forms of open access everyday—and everytime we browse the NY Times, the Washington Post, Le Monde, the Globe and Mail, and so on. How is it that our scholarly and creative work is so restricted, still so inaccessible in this day and age?
When the motion passed in Senate I felt like applauding. But the agenda quickly rolled on and with the exception of our Librarian no one seemed to mark the occasion as significant. It was. Although it's a soft encouragement to the university community to start sharing work, making it accessible to all, this motion is a big step in the right direction.

EAST LIVERPOOL - Many tables around the area will be laden Sunday with a variety of post-Lent bounty, including loaves of freshly-made Easter bread made at an unlikely bakery.
This year, Catholic Charities Regional Agencies Senior Center on Fourth Street added the baking of two kinds of Easter breads to the other services they provide to the community, and it has proven to be a successful venture, according to coordinator Judi Golden.
"It's the first time we did it, and we've been really, really busy," Golden said, saying it will most likely become an annual project, with proceeds earmarked toward helping fund the agency's other services.
Golden said with a smile that one man from Youngstown even stopped on his way to Mountaineer Gaming Resort to buy a couple loaves of bread, "maybe in case he ran out of money."
Both cinnamon raisin and anise breads were made by head cook Jackie Woodward, who has been with Catholic Charities 23 years come May 1.
She was assisted by students from Kent State University participating in the Alternative Spring Break program, and Golden said, "She really needed them this time."
That might be due to the fact that baking the 110 loaves of bread was in addition to all the other cooking Woodward does for the agency, which serves a free community meal from 12 to 2:30 every Thursday in addition to about 60 meals daily for senior citizens.
The seniors can choose to eat the daily meals at the center, carry them out or have them delivered to their home for $4, Golden said.
Although Woodward made it look simple as she bustled around the kitchen, the meal she turned out this Thursday was anything but with homemade biscuits, creamed chicken made with all-white meat, savory carrot coins and peas with dill and dessert.
About 100 people were expected to be served at this week's community meal, including the KSU students.
Homemade soup is also offered every Thursday, and Woodward was quick to note that no mixes are used and the soups are "made from scratch."
The center also provides some emergency assistance among its services.
"We're the best little secret in town," Golden said, adding that volunteers are always needed.

ATLANTIC CITY - Elnora Jenkins couldn't wait to get back here. She has vacationed in this beach town for 12 years, and a hurricane wasn't going to keep her away for long.
So Jenkins, 47, of the Rosedale section of Queens in New York City, had returned in early November, just days after Sandy made landfall Oct. 29.
"We came once we got the clearance," she said Saturday at Schiff's Central Pier before she left to gamble with her husband, Tristen. On Saturday, she was joined by thousands who were undeterred by a heat wave and made it clear that business was booming in this mostly unscathed city.

Mission of mobility
Island Rotarians take a thousand wheelchairs to India
Elizabeth Celms
Mercer Island Reporter
Surrounded by his fellow Rotarians, Mercer Island resident Ray Brook watched as more than 100 disabled Indian men, women and children pulled themselves into brand new wheelchairs — some for the very first time. In total, 1,100 wheelchairs will be distributed to the needy people of Akola, India, thanks to a recent charity organized by Mercer Island Rotary. Two weeks after his visit to Akola, Brook is still emotional when recounting the hospital scene.
"People literally came in crawling on their hands and knees — some children, some older," said Brook. "They all left with huge smiles on their faces, with the freedom of mobility." In addition to delivering nearly half of the 1,100 wheelchairs set to be given to the people of Akola (the other portion will be delivered in the near future), MI Rotary visited a number of local schools and witnessed the development of a Rotary-funded "water catchment" — the first of 21 dams designed to protect farmers' crops from flooding during the monsoon season.
All three projects are a joint effort between MI Rotary and its affiliate Indian organization, the Akola Midtown Rotary Club, with help from the Vishal Himalaya Foundation (VHF), an NGO started by Islanders Yogi and Eva Agrawal.
"Building and sustaining relationships is the theme of this project," Eva Agrawal said. "Most of the families in Akola are either Hindu or Jain. Culturally, it's a very different place."
Similar in population to Seattle, the Akola area in central India has 500,000 people. Its surrounding region, which includes about 1,000 villages, is home to 1.5 million people.
VHF's primary focus in Akola was providing schools with new computers, a library system and exercise equipment. With support from MI Rotary and Teachers without Borders, VHF also financed a large-screen computer projection system for teacher video training.
Although MI Rotary has reached out to other parts of the world, these are the first projects it has facilitated in India.
"A few of the members with us had worked on H20 projects in Africa and elsewhere," Brook said. "Here in India, the dams are especially important. They keep the water back during the flood season, giving farmers more time [to rear their crops.]"
Prior to arriving in Akola, the group of 23 toured North India, visiting New Delhi, Old Delhi and the wondrous Taj Mahal in Agrah. A number of Rotarians were also invited to stay with host families, giving them a glimpse of life in a wealthy Indian household.
"The Akola Rotary wanted to do a cultural exchange and MI Rotarians were enthusiastic about this," Agrawal said. "Those who wanted to stay with families in Akola city did. They were all upper-class households."
Agrawal added that she was deeply impressed with the hosts' generosity. Not only were the Islanders treated with respect and kindness, but the group was invited to attend an Indian wedding.
"We came back with reflections on comparisons between the abundant needs of India and the abundant resources of Mercer Island," Brook said. "We have a greater appreciation of our global society."

Have you noticed that many liberals now prefer to be called progressives? It seems that there is a negative connotation to the word "liberal." Hence, the new term, "progressive." What's the difference? It's the same as saying satan or the devil.
Some would say that's a very judgmental statement. Who is more judgmental than the "satanic devils" (or progressive liberals)? When I was growing up, I'm sure that tolerance had a different meaning. It meant that even though I don't agree with you, I'll defer to your beliefs and not make an issue of it. I, as a Christian, will not deny your right to be a Muslim or Hindu. However, as a Christian, I still reserve the right to believe my religion is the true and only religion. The "satanic devils" believe that tolerance means giving up your beliefs to agree with them. Tolerance to a liberal means total agreement with them.
Liberals want tolerance for their pet projects. They have no tolerance for Christians or right-wing beliefs. Comedian Jeff Foxworthy is famous for his sayings that if you do such and such, you must be a redneck. I believe that if you're against government execution of serial killers, but support the execution of unborn babies, then you must be a progressive/liberal.
Article Photos
If you believe the environment is more important than people, then you must be a progressive/liberal. If you believe animals are more important than people, then you must be a satanic devil. I have two German short-hair pointers. They're part of my family. I recently told my wife that if there's a fire, I will get her out first, before the dogs. She said the same to me; I'm not sure I believe her.
You must be a progressive/liberal if you want government to control everything. You must be a progressive/liberal if you believe ACORN is nonpartisan and does good works. You must be a progressive if you want single-payer government health care. Health is not the issue here - the issue is control. Liberals want to control every aspect of your life.
You must be a liberal if you're trying to remove God from every aspect of our public and private lives. You must be a progressive if you believe that the stimulus, the cap and trade, and health care won't bankrupt our country. Please, God, give me back the America I knew as a child ... please!

A community-wide study was conducted in 16 short-stay hospitals in metropolitan Worcester, Mass, to examine the incidence and case-fatality rates of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism in patients hospitalized between July 1, 1985, and December 31, 1986. The average annual incidence of deep vein thrombosis alone was 48 per 100000, while the incidence of pulmonary embolism with or without deep vein thrombosis was 23 per 100 000. The incidence rates of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism increased exponentially with age. The inhospital case-fatality rate of venous thromboembolism was 12%. Among patients discharged from the hospital, the long-term case-fatality rates were 19%, 25%, and 30% at 1, 2, and 3 years after hospital discharge. Extrapolation of the data from this population-based study suggests that there are approximately 170 000 new cases of clinically recognized venous thromboembolism in patients treated in short-stay hospitals in the United States each year, and 99 000 hospitalizations for recurrent disease. Because of the silent nature of this disease and the low rate of autopsy in the United States, the total incidence, prevalence, and mortality rates of venous thromboembolism remain elusive.

Great Product!
I highly recommend A Man's Zinc by Vibrant Health. A Man's Zinc took the symptoms away in just a few days and kept them away; I still buy it to be sure the symptoms don't return. It is a hard to find this item; stores do not carry it and pureformulas.com has the best price on it. I also combine it with Professional Labs DIM/IC3 from pureformulas.com.
It works, it is not expensive and most of all it is a none pharmaceutical which means it is safe to consume without side effects.
√ I would recommend this item to a friend.

Amy Grant
It's not unusual to hear a rock 'n' roll record about temptation, debauchery, free-living and lack of moral direction. It is unusual to hear a rock 'n' roll record that makes it sound as if those aren't all terrific things we should be striving for. But then this is the young sister who is to the spiritual world what Madonna is to the material. Grant, 25, has crossed over to a mainstream label and put more pop in her style, but she is not exactly getting out of the gospel groove that has made her as close to a superstar as the sacred world allows. Except for one reference to Jesus and a couple of Hims and Yous that would be easy to overlook, this LP is light on proselytizing, heavy on music. Grant's longtime collaborator Brown Bannister produced, and the arrangements are as polished and powerful as any in rock; the rhythm section drives, the guitars zing, the synthesizers (played by rock mainstays Shane Keister and Robbie Buchanan) wind and twist. Grant's voice—a frail, Newton-Johnish sort of instrument—is occasionally overshadowed by the band, in fact. Her songs also do get a little preachy: "What's the advice you're getting?/Work hard in school/Learn the good rule and/Try to make good for you." But she has made a smooth transition from rock-tinged gospel to gospel-tinged rock. She sounds confident and vibrant. For those who like to dance and pray at the same time, her stuff can't be beat. (A & M)

This year's annual National Prescription Drug Takeback Day will be from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m. Oct. 29 at the Community Care Pharmacy located within the DirectCare of Parsons facility.
Event organizers explain that many Americans are unaware of the dangers of using or just possessing unused prescription medication. Not only do prescription drugs account for more accidental deaths in West Virginia than automobile accidents, but keeping these drugs after use can also make citizens targets for theft. In addition, the previous practice of flushing unused medications has proven dangerous for the environment, wildlife and water filtration systems.
To participate in the Takeback Day, people simply should bring medications to the drop-off site. They should also leave medication in its original container and remove personal information, but leave prescription information on bottle. No illegal drugs, needles or syringes will be accepted. The service is free and anonymous, with no questions asked.
In response to the alarming rate of prescription drug abuse and misuse, the Drug Enforcement Agency sponsors this national level Takeback Day, to collect any unused, expired or unwanted medications for proper disposal or destruction.
The local project is also sponsored by TCdrugfree, the Tucker County FRN, the Tucker County Sheriff's Office and Davis Health System.
For more information contact Stephanie Murphy or April Miller at 304-478-3827 or go to the DEA website at www.getsmartaboutdrugs.com.

It's All Kuhn In Wilmot Midget Go
WILMOT, Wis. — Brad Kuhn drove to his first feature victory of the season and 22nd of his career in the POWRi Lucas Oil National Midget Series on Saturday in the Salute to Harry Turner, co-sanctioned by the Stark Automotive Group/Mid-State Equipment Badger Midget Series, at Wilmot Raceway.
"It's good to get the monkey off our back," the 31-year-old from Avon, Ind., said. "We've had a ton of speed and weren't able to get a win. I think in our last six races we haven't been worst than third. I'm glad we got a win for (car owners) Bill Ecker and Amy Reisdorf."
Kuhn was challenging Darren Hagen for the lead on the 28th of 30 laps in turns three and four when Hagen's Esslinger-powered DRC abruptly slowed with an ignition failure.
"It just hit all at once," Hagen said. "I tried to slip the switch to see if it would restart, but it wouldn't."
Kuhn started from fifth and took the lead from Jake Blackhurst on the sixth lap. Fourth-starting Hagen led the ninth lap and Kuhn regained it from 10 to 13. Hagen moved to the front on the next lap. The 27-year-old stretched out his advantage over Kuhn to a quarter lap. The resilient Kuhn closed the gap and was less than a car length behind with less than three laps to go.
"Darren was pretty good," Kuhn said. "Without a caution, I don't think we had anything for him. But we'll take it."
Zach Daum finished second, two car lengths behind, in his Toyota-powered Eagle and Andrew Felker was third.
Daum started on pole and led the opening two laps. He was trying to run the low line and ran third for most of the race, but kept losing ground to Hagen and Kuhn.
"I was having trouble getting into the corners and I finally had to go up top and get in line," he said. "It was treacherous up there. Hagen was by far the best. I'm happy to run second, but I want to win."
Felker's third was his seventh top-five and he's been in the top 10 in all 12 POWRi races this season. He's been able to overcome adversity in an event on several occasions and Wilmot was another.
"It wasn't a bad night," the 2012 POWRi National Midget champion said. "I got up to third but had a problem, a piece that got loose inside the car that made it difficult to work the throttle, and fell back to ninth. The season has gone real well so far, real consistent."
The finish:
Brad Kuhn, Zach Daum, Andrew Felker, Jake Blackhurst, Austin Brown, Garrett Aitken, Scott Hatton, Danny Stratton, Parker Price-Miller, Todd Lehr, Tyler Thomas, Seth Motsinger, Mike Hess, Darren Hagen, Justin Peck, Alex Bright, Daniel Robinson, Colten Cottle, Eric Johnson.
