If you signed up to volunteer for the Marathon then you should have received information via email from Phil Hinck. If you thought you signed up and did not receive the information please contact Phil immediately. We could also use a few more volunteers to work at the finish area as some people had to back out due to other commitments. Its a lot of fun as we work in the celebrity finish area and this year there will be many celebrities running including Lance Armstrong.. If interested in volunteering send Phil an email at email@example.com.

Assembly Republican caucus leader Pat Hickey said he expects to pick up seats for the GOP in the upcoming election, but declined to predict today exactly how big a dent his candidates will make in the 26-member Democratic majority on Nov. 6.
Hickey, R-Reno, said he does expect to see an increase from the 16 seats Republicans have now in the 42-member Assembly. The party has opportunities because of the new political boundaries drawn by a panel of special masters as a result of the 2010 census, he said.
Hickey, interviewed on the Nevada NewsMakers television program, said he is optimistic about the chances of victory for David Espinosa, the GOP candidate challenging Democrat Skip Daly in Assembly District 31 in Sparks, and for Wes Duncan, who is challenging Assembly Majority Leader Marcus Conklin in District 37 in Las Vegas, among others.
"Conklin's race is certainly one where it went from a district that was 17 percent Democrat to now roughly even in registration, and having a very attractive candidate like Wes Duncan, Marcus is in for the race of his life," Hickey said. "But we're close in quite a number of our races."
Hickey said he won't make any firm predictions however, given the unpredictability of the individual races.
"So I'm not going to give you a number of how many we might win but we think we're going to increase our numbers and we might be very happy on election night depending on how well (Mitt) Romney and the upper ticket folks do in Nevada," he said.
While party officials and observers are closely watching the state Senate races to see which party will have a majority in the 2013 legislative session, the Assembly contests have received less media attention because Democrats are expected to maintain control.
But some of the races have generated controversy.
The Conklin campaign team was criticized by Hickey and Assembly Republicans last week after one of Conklin's campaign workers was photographed removing Duncan campaign materials left at district homes.
"It's one thing to be competitive; it's another thing to, if you will, steal another opponent's literature," Hickey said.
There was no claim made that the theft of the literature came at the direction of Conklin, Hickey said.
The Conklin campaign did not immediately reply to an email seeking comment.
Not all of the 42 Assembly races are in contention, however. Nine Assembly incumbents, five Republicans and four Democrats, have no opponents at all and will win automatically on Tuesday.
Hickey said he remains optimistic about the chances for Republican candidates to win their races despite the strong Democratic voter registration edge statewide, especially in Clark County. Party candidates are using the hands-on approach by walking the districts and talking to voters face-to-face, he said.
"You walk, you win; you don't, you may not," Hickey said.

Stone plans Snowden film
Oliver Stone will write and direct a film about Edward Snowden, one of two high-profile films in the works about the National Security Agency leaker.
Stone said he plans to adapt "The Snowden Files: The Inside Story of the World's Most Wanted Man," a book by Guardian journalist Luke Harding. The project pairs one of cinema's most controversial directors with one of the most explosive news events in recent years.
"This is one of the greatest stories of our time," Stone said. He added that making such a film is "a real challenge."
He will have some deep-pocketed competition. In May, Sony Pictures purchased the big-screen rights to Glenn Greenwald's "No Place to Hide: Edward Snowden, the NSA and the U.S. Surveillance State." The film is being produced by James Bond producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson.
Nyong'o joins cast
of new 'Star Wars'
Three months after winning an Oscar, Lupita Nyong'o is going to a galaxy far, far away.
Nyong'o is joining the cast of "Star Wars: Episode VII." The 31-year-old actress became a breakthrough star for her award-winning performance in "12 Years a Slave."
Also added to the cast was Gwendoline Christie, best known for playing the hulking Brienne of Tarth on HBO's "Game of Thrones."
When the principal cast of "Episode VII" was announced last month, the lack of women raised some eyebrows. Nyong'o and Christie join an ensemble that includes John Boyega, Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, Oscar Isaac and Andy Serkis. The film is slated to open in December 2015.
Jolie, Pitt won't
tighten security
Angelina Jolie said she and Brad Pitt won't tighten their security policies during publicity events after he was accosted on the red carpet in Los Angeles.
"People like that are an exception to the rule," Jolie said. "Most fans are just wonderful. We've had a wonderful experience over the years, and we're very grateful for their support, and it will not change the way we behave."
Jolie, who turns 39 today, spoke to reporters while in Shanghai to promote "Maleficent," the live-action retelling of "Sleeping Beauty."
Hear Joel Osteen
on satellite radio
Texas pastor Joel Osteen is getting his own channel on SiriusXM satellite radio, which will air his sermon at Yankee Stadium this Saturday live nationally.
Osteen, who preaches to 40,000 people each week at Houston's Lakewood megachurch, already shows his messages on the Trinity religious TV network and other television stations across the country. The new SiriusXM channel will feature live call-in shows hosted by Osteen and his wife, fellow Lakewood pastor Victoria Osteen, along with rebroadcasts of Osteen's past sermons.
Collins' 'Jeopardy' reign
ends after 21 appearances
The reign of the winningest female contestant in "Jeopardy!" history has come to an end.
Julia Collins, 31, lost during her 21st appearance on the pretaped episode that aired Monday. The Chicago-area resident accumulated a total of $428,100 during her 20 victories on the syndicated series.
Collins was vanquished by Brian Loughnane, an investment operations manager from Scituate, Mass. Collins went into the final-question showdown in second place, bet everything and lost it. Loughnane won $22,000.
The clue that stumped her: The New England writer who in 1999 became the last person to win an Oscar for adapting his own novel as a screenplay. She failed to answer with the correct question: Who is John Irving? The novel and film was "Cider House Rules."

|I'm a state worker drone and a hack of the written word. I'm also an observer of human nature and a natural born cynic, who also happens to have a well developed and incredibly warped sense of humor. I also have, what has been often referred to by both my friends and enemies, "a sharpness of tongue". Which basically means that I can dish it out on a very personal level if need be. But never fear, I only do that when someone or something rubs me the wrong way. On the other hand, I do have an appreciation of the simpler things in the world around me, which lets me use the charm, wit and the wonder of the English language to describe it all. This blog will be by no means, dull and boring. It will be sprinkled with my observations of both the real world and the cyber world. So, come join me on a journey, created from the mind of non-typical New Englander. What you'll experience is entirely up to the Cyber World/Real World. I hope you'll enjoy this little slice of disorder that will be created especially for you.

In a web chat on ESPN.com, Katie Strang says there's a good chance the Rangers will stand pat at the trade deadline.
She adds that Glen Sather is likely to recognize that this isn't the year to go all in.
She reiterates the Rangers interest in Dan Boyle and Ryane Clowe, but says the asking price is probably too high.
Strang finishes by stating that a few of the guys the Rangers might have been interested in were either injured (Stephen Weiss, FLA) or re-signed (Nate Thompson- TBL).
…while it would make for a boring trade deadline, I wouldn't complain if the Sather sat on his hands.
…as I mentioned yesterday, if both Richards and Gaborik can be resurrected that's just as good as any trade they could make.
…would hate for the Rangers to overpay for guys like Clowe or Ribiero, when this team looks more like a first round punching bag than a Stanley Cup contender.

Merging missions with resources, City Alliance Church and Stevens Primary School are announcing the launch of its joint after-school program, C.H.E.E.R., a community-school initiative focused on mentoring and strengthening the literacy and math skills of Stevens' students.
The program will run from 3:35 to 4:35 p.m. on Wednesdays, beginning Wednesday at the school. Volunteers from City Alliance Church, 454 Pine St, will provide tutoring.
The development of the weekly program began when the church approached the school this summer in an effort to extend its outreach into the schools.
Article Photos
From left are Lycoming College student and church volunteers Liza Gallen and Sarah Jaran; Chris White, a third-grade student at Stevens Primary; and Rose Saville-Iksic of City Alliance Church. Here, the group sits during an initial training and orientation, led by Title 1 Instructional Coach, Lynne Piotrowski.
"We want to be present in our community - giving freely of our love and support - and that means loving our schools," said Rose Saville-Iksic, volunteer coordinator at City Alliance. "We also hope this program becomes an outlet for other community members to have a part in caring for this city, that they might join us, or replicate the idea elsewhere."
Described by district Title 1 Instructional Coach Lynne Piotrowski as "fun with a purpose," the program is designed to include communication, homework help, engagement, enrichment and review - all components that comprise its acronymic title, C.H.E.E.R.
"Everyone is eager to provide students with an additional learning environment that is enjoyable, engaging and will promote enthusiasm for all involved," Piotrowski said. "At Stevens Primary, we recognize the value of partnering with community organizations in further developing responsible citizens."
Piotrowski added that through City Alliance's committed effort in providing a strong volunteer base to work with students on campus, and with assistance from the WASD Education Foundation, "our children will have the opportunities to become further engaged and encouraged through various connections made with a significant mentor and role model in addition to their family members."
Principal Kirk Felix described City Alliance as a wonderful partner of Stevens Primary, noting its support of the building for a number of years with some of its members participating on its PTSA board, and the church's kind regards and recognitions of the Stevens staff.
"We look forward to launching an after-school program with City Alliance church members and volunteers they are helping us recruit," Felix said. "Our collective goal is to find positive mentors for our students who will benefit from additional caring adults in their lives. The goal of our after-school program is improved academic motivation provided through positive mentorship."

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - Baltimore Orioles catcher Matt Wieters was out of the starting lineup Wednesday night after making a trip to have his sore right elbow examined by Dr. James Andrews.
Wieters flew from Tampa to Pensacola earlier in the day for the exam and rejoined the Orioles for the game against Tampa Bay.
While it was determined that Wieters would avoid the disabled list, he will likely be limited to designated hitter duty for a period of time.
"It doesn't hurt him to hit at all, either way," Orioles manager Buck Showalter said.
"That's not a factor. I'm not going to give you an exact time frame when he can catch, but I think if he keeps down the path we hope it does, he'll be a catcher again in the near future."
The elbow has bothered the switch-hitting Wieters for the past couple of weeks. He went 2 for 5 as the DH in Tuesday night's 5-3 win over the Rays.
Wieters called the test results a good thing.
"Anytime it's a positive outlook to where we definitely see getting back on the field sooner rather than later," said Wieters, who arrived at Tropicana Field about 90 minutes before gametime.
n Brewers slugger Ryan Braun should be ready to return from a right oblique strain in time for next week's series against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
The outfielder hasn't played since April 26. Braun was hitting .318 with six homers and 18 RBIs when he was placed on the 15-day disabled list on May 3.
Braun took batting practice before the team's game Wednesday afternoon against Arizona. Manager Ron Roenicke says Braun should be ready when eligible to play his next game, Tuesday against NL Central-rival Pittsburgh.
n Colorado Rockies third baseman Nolan Arenado tied the team record with a 27-game hitting streak in the team's win over Texas Wednesday night.
Arenado needed little time to extend his string. He hit a two-run double in the first inning to equal teammate Michael Cuddyer's 27-game streak from last season.
Arenado's streak is the longest for anyone 23 years or younger since Albert Pujols had a 30-gamer in 2003 when he was 23.
The streak for Arenado began April 9, a week before his 23rd birthday. According to Elias, his streak is the longest that began when a player was 22 or younger since Benito Santiago's 34-game hitting streak in 1987, which is still a major league rookie record.
n The Chicago Cubs have placed reliever Pedro Strop on the 15-day disabled list with a moderate left groin strain. Strop had an MRI on Wednesday. He is 0-2 with a 4.97 ERA in 15 appearances this season. The Cubs also recalled left-hander Zac Rosscup from Triple-A Iowa.
n Indians center fielder and leadoff hitter Michael Bourn, who is out for the fourth straight game because of a tight left hamstring, said he could return to the lineup today. Bourn ran the bases and took batting practice before Cleveland played the Twins on Wednesday.

In 2006, the nitric acid output of China amounted to 1.8178 million tons, up 12.6% year-on-year. Although declining by 11.4% over 2005, the growth rate still remained fast, and the import, export and apparent consumption respectively reached 31.2 thousand tons, 12 thousand tons and 1837 thousand tons, indicating a vigorous downstream demand.
Since Jan 2007, affected by the favourable factor that downstream nitric acid consumption increased stably, the industry maintained a rapid growing momentum. The accumulated nitric acid output in the first quarter of 2007 reached 475.4 thousand tons, up 14.35% from a year earlier.
By the end of 2005, the concentrated nitric acid production capacity of China had totalled up to about 2.2 million tons and, the production capacity increased by 580 thousand tons in 2006, up 26.3% year-on-year. In the first quarter of 2007, the newly-increased production capacity amounted to 350 thousand tons. In addition, the 100,000 t/a equipments and other projects of Henan Xinxiang Yongchang Chemical Co., Ltd. will be put into operation, implying that in 2006-2007, the newly-built production capacity of nitric acid industry will exceed 1 million tons and, by the end of 2007, the gross production capacity of the industry will surpass 3.2 million tons.
Considering from the development trend of China nitric acid industry, the excessive growth of production capacity in 2006 has ushered in the adverse factors that influence sound industry development. In the first half of 2006, the remarkable price hike of synthetic ammonia, raw coal, electric power, railway transport and varied auxiliary materials, as well as the largely increased cost of self-sustaining tanker alteration and safety assessment caused by railway speedup, led to the great cost rising of concentrated nitric acid production. Meanwhile, due to the price reduction of concentrated nitric acid and the nose-diving industry profit, many enterprises had to reduce or even stop the production, which resulted in a wide-range fluctuation in market supply and unstable prices.
In 2007, thanks to the vigorous market demand, the nitric acid price has stopped decreasing and remained stable, and has been on a continuous rise since May, of which the concentrated nitric acid (98%) in east China ascended from RMB 2300/ ton in the end of Apr to RMB 2350/ ton in early May. However, the high price will place a premium on the production recovery of nitric acid, which will increase the supply and cause price fluctuation. Generally speaking, the excessive growth in production capacity will still act as the unendurable pressure of nitric acid industry. SHOW LESS READ MORE >

"Shocking" and "breathtaking" are just a few words used by last year's Pennsylvania International Pageant winners to describe their crowning moment.
This weekend, those three title holders will be ready to pass their crowns to the Miss, Miss Teen and Mrs. Pennsylvania International 2012 winners and watch them make their own life-long memories.
The pageant will take place at 7:30 p.m. Saturday at the Jaffa Shrine Center in Altoona. Out of 25 contests, three new title holders will be crowned based on their performance in categories of interview, evening gown and fitness wear. Miss and Miss Teen competitors also will compete in a fun fashion category. Win-ners will then compete in Chicago in July for the national title.

Kaitlyn Lucas, 16, Miss Teen Pennsylvania International 2011, is from Emmaus.
Julia Pauline, 20, of Conshohocken is Miss Pennsylvania International 2011.
Dawn Hicks, 36, of Hanover is Mrs. Pennsylvania International 2011.
Jodi Cessna of Altoona, state pageant director, said there was an increased number of applicants for this year's pageant and it is the second largest in the state.
She said the criteria the contestants are judged on is different from other pageants because of the emphasis put on the interview competition and how well they support their platform.
"It sounds cliche, but they really are looking for the total package," Cessna said. "These women are really spreading awareness about different causes."

The International Pageant system also gives women of a wide range of ages the opportunity to compete. Dawn Hicks, 36, of Hanover and Mrs. Pennsylvania International 2011, loved watching pageants on TV when she was growing up. However, she never thought she would be in one, much less win it.
"I'm certainly not the typical pageant contestant," said Hicks, who is an Air Force veteran and was deployed as a civilian to Afghanistan in 2010. "It was something I admired from the sideline thinking it was for lucky girls that were groomed for that sort of thing. I never thought I'd ever do one but this system really provided married women that opportunity. ... After spending so many years in combat boots and trolling around the desert of Afghanistan, it was nice to do something for myself and put a dress on and feel like a lady for a change."
Tying into her military background, Hick chose the Armed Forces Foun-dation as the platform she helped promote for the past year. The charity provides financial and emotional support to military members and their families.
One of her biggest acts was organizing and hosting a holiday party for children who had a family member deployed over the holiday season.
"This organization, just what they did for me, I thought if I'm in any position to help them out, I wanted to do that for them," Hicks said.
Julia Pauline, 20, of Conshohocken, Miss Pennsylvania International 2011, may not have been directly aided or affected by the platform she chose, Habitat for Humanity.
But that didn't stop her from being actively involved in her local chapter this past year.
"A week before [the national competition in] Chicago, I was up on a roof building one of our homes," Hicks said. "A lot of people don't think a pageant girl would do Habitat for Humanity, actually going on to a roof and building houses. But I want to portray to girls that you can put a nail into a board and not be afraid to break a nail."
Pauline said winning the title made for an unbelievable year. Though she had been competing in pageants since age 16, she had never won a title before this.
"I'm glad it was with the International system," she added.
Pauline said the next titleholders should be sure they make the most of their years.
"Don't ever say, 'Oh, I can't do this appearance because I'm too busy,'" she said. "Make time because when you look back on your year, you want to see how many lives you've changed."
Kaitlyn Lucas, 16, of Emmaus, Miss Teen Pennsylvania International 2011, tried to do the same thing this year while representing her platform for a local charity, Angel 34, which promotes childhood cancer awareness.
"When people say the year goes by fast, they weren't kidding," Kaitlyn said. "Live in every moment and cherish all of your time. Take a step back and realize you have a big role to take on. Make as many appearances as you can and get the word out about your platform."
Being a Miss Teen Penn-sylvania International titleholder has benefited Kaitlyn by preparing her for the future and the real world, she said, adding that the International system breaks down the normal pageant stereotypes.
"It has more to do with if you can speak and inner beauty," she said. "You can look good on stage but if you aren't good at interviewing you won't have a chance to win the title."
Hicks agreed that it will flip anything people might think about pageants and pageant people if they come out to the event.
"You'll see beautiful clothes and traditional pageant stuff, but you'll also see these women who are really working hard in their communities," Hicks said.

CLEMSON — The only thing worse than losing a football game is the week that follows.
After spending all summer on the hype train, and justifying those expectations with a win over a top-5 opponent followed by six weeks of success, Clemson finds itself backed into a corner for the first time this year, getting asked what went wrong instead of what went right.
Not only did Florida State's 51-14 clinic last Saturday all but shatter the ninth-ranked (previously No. 3) Tigers' championship hopes from conference to national levels, but it caused a range of panic and dismissal from outside observers who clipped Clemson from their primary radar.
That wasn't the mindset this past week for head coach Dabo Swinney, who looked to impress that upon his "hurting football team" in preparation for a two-game road trip, starting Saturday at 3:30 p.m. at Maryland.
"You can't sit around and fret and pout over what could have been," Swinney said. "You've got to focus on what still can be, and there's a long list of things that still can be for this team, that we are in total control of."
The Tigers would have tumbled further upon losing at home by 37 to even the finest of contenders, if not for carnage elsewhere in the rankings to squads like LSU, Texas A&M, UCLA and Louisville.
Since the start of 2011, Clemson (6-1, 4-1 ACC) has won four of five games immediately following defeat.
"I have no reason to think they won't respond, because they always do," Swinney said. "This is a hurting football team, and I love that. We're going to be OK because they care. Nobody cares more than these players who put all the work in."
Both sides of the ball seek redemption for Clemson. Particularly on offense, Tajh Boyd has seen a well-tuned machine clunk along with eight turnovers in the past three games. The Tigers' first unit scored just one touchdown in the FSU debacle.
"We look at this as a job. It's not like we want to go out there and purposely mess up," Boyd said. "You've got to be accountable for your actions out there, whether it's studying more or performing better, you've got to get your job done."
While the focus on Clemson's troubles has settled on the offense, its revamped defense was humbled by Florida State, allowing a season-worst 44 points, 565 total yards, 29 first downs and eight third-down conversions.
"You've got to play this game in an aggressive way," defensive coordinator Brent Venables said. "Losing stinks. It can never be acceptable."
In Maryland, though, Venables' unit catches a break. The Terrapins have lost their starting quarterback, running back, tight end and two wide receivers to injury for the game.
On the other side, cornerback Dexter McDougle is also out Saturday, which could allow some breathing room for the Tigers' own receivers against the No. 65-rated pass defense.
"We'll hopefully come out and have 500, 600 yards of offense," Clemson wide receiver Sammy Watkins said, "and show the country that we still can come off a big loss and still perform, hopefully get everybody's attention in the national rankings."
Although the dream of perfection has ended, the Tigers still figure as favorites in their final three conference games, putting them in good position to reach 10 wins before their regular season finale at South Carolina.
"This is college football, where the unthinkable happens. So anything can happen," Swinney said.
"Who knows? We're a top 10 team; nobody's going to put their head down and cry about that, and nobody's going to feel sorry for us.
"We still have a chance to be a great team. I think we're a great team. But we've got to go finish that way."

When he came to the community at three years old, he established himself right away as 'individual' and 'decider'. The guide thought he was extraordinarily self-aware and self-defined, with a prodigious vocabulary and an adult-like presence. He had a head of blondish curls and a sprinkle of freckles across the bridge of his nose. He intense brown eyes peered out from his glasses with dark rims – somewhat the little professor in appearance. She liked him right away. She had long since found this "liking" to be the key to working with each and every child, regardless of the challenge she might find herself facing.

The White Dot Incident
Transition, Growth, and Charlotte's Web
Reading Charlotte's Web In a week or maybe two, my husband will finish reading Charlotte's Web for the fourth time, the first time when he was a child, once for each of our three children. My husband has a low, mumbly voice, and he is often very tired when he sits down in his rocking […]
Personal, Lifelong Growth
A few years ago I taught a boy named Derek, a difficult yet bright and caring 12-year-old on the Asperger's spectrum. Derek could be challenging, to say the least. For example, one day at school we couldn't find him for over an hour; turns out he had hid himself in a closet because he believed "no one would even care if I were gone!" (Oh boy, that was a scary mess. I remember the experience like it was yesterday!) Despite all of Derek's "issues", he was a thinker, and a young man who felt deeply. While his unpredictability and outbursts in class brought out insecurities in us nascent teachers who were (wrongheadedly) craving control, his inquisitive nature and kind heart reminded us of why we chose to be in the field of education in the first place.
Embracing the Big Spills
I had a humbling experience last week in my community of 3-6-year-olds – one of those moments that reminded me to put my faith in the power of the child's own inner guide to lead them to the experiences they need for their own satisfying development.
An Ordinary Life Extraordinarily Lived
The other day I took a call from a prospective parent. I had not given her tour, and she was calling to talk to the director and ask a few questions. She wanted to know if I knew the national average ACT or SAT scores for Montessori alumni. I had to admit that I don't, and I am not aware of anyone who has narrowed down that population for that sort of study. I asked her what she was looking for in that question. She told me that what she really wanted was for her daughter to be happy.
I Am Here To Help
It begins with the increasingly noisy tap – tap – tapping of brush on bucket, that first signal of digging in and lying low and simultaneously signaling readiness for the potential struggle to come. This is soon accompanied by nonsense chatter and noises. "How quickly we can get into these cycles, " the guide thinks to herself.
Instead of Punishment
They came in from the playground knotted together by tight feelings for their injured friend. "He's hurt. He fell off the slide. Ned pushed him." Ned was supporting Bart, who was hopping along, his face squeezing out tears and his jaw clenching in sobs. Breathing heavily, pushing and stumbling, with heads bobbing and backs bent as they jockeyed for close, clear gapes at the bloody knee, Ned and Bart's buddies accompanied them to gain the safety and reassurance that presenting the disaster to me always bestows.
Learn, Live, Laugh and Love
Parents and teachers are some of the most inspiring people at work in the world today. We'll break into song when the first robin appears, dance a jig when the sun breaks through the clouds, cry on the last day of school, and laugh when it snows in April.
We begin each day hoping to impart knowledge. At day's end, we consider all we have learned. Cliché, Pollyannaish, but true: learning really is the best part of teaching. The best part of parenting really is seeing the world through the eyes of a child once again.
Making Space
I come from a HUGE extended family. Growing up, my Mom, Brother Kevin, and I lived with my grandparents. There were thirteen of us in a house with one bathroom. On Sundays, all of my aunts and uncles who didn't live at the house would come over with their kids, too. The place was full to bursting. There was never an empty room. I loved it.
You Can Enjoy Hard Things
I began my research by asking my son, "What inspires you to keep working, even when the work is difficult?" His quick reply was, "I keep working by choosing the most challenging thing I've had a lesson on. Then it's interesting to figure out." I pressed, "But what if you encounter a problem you cannot solve or have trouble finding a solution even with a lot of effort?" He answered, "Then I find a friend and ask them for advice or see if they have a good idea."
I Can Do Hard Things
The perseverance practiced early with concrete life tasks, later takes the form of tackling the complicated math equation, mastering that difficult list of spelling words, and getting the research project done by the due date. But hand-in-glove with the feeling that you can do hard things is the desire to do hard things.
Gateway Parenting
The theory goes something like this: if you use legal drugs such as tobacco or alcohol, or even what some consider "soft drugs" like marijuana, you are more likely to slip down the slope to using "hard drugs" like amphetamines, cocaine and heroin, than people who never get started using soft drugs in the first place. The starter drugs are often referred to as gateway drugs because use of them is seen as the first step through the gateway to even more dangerous behaviors.
A Parent's Role: How it Differs from That of a Guide
Since leaving the classroom recently, after thirty-some years in the delightful company of children, I have spent a considerable portion of my time leading the development of the parent education programs for our school. It has given me a new and different joy, and a great appreciation for parents. It is an honor to work so closely with parents who are the primary educators of our children, who are the children's models, their supporters, and their greatest source of love and admiration.
The Slender Thread of a Montessori Elementary Class
Two boys took turns reading with zest and dramatic expression the tale from Shakespeare's "Midsummer Night's Dream" to a small group of children, alternating with one another as their voices gave out. How well they read this difficult language and how genuinely they enjoyed it!

WARREN - In his team's matchup with Lordstown, Mineral Ridge's Zac Hagy got a couple of clips for his highlight reel during the waning seconds of the first half.
With 33 seconds remaining, the junior forward got behind the Red Devil defense on the fast break and dunked the ball. Following a Lordstown turnover, Hagy rebounded the ball near the foul line and put up a shot that went in before the buzzer sounded without looking at the net.
"They were both huge because it was coming down and we could never pull away," Hagy said. "That put us up six and gave us a little momentum going into half. It was nice."

Tribune Chronicle / R. Michael Semple
Mineral Ridge's Zane Rummell (30) looks for an opening to the basket as Lordstown's Nick Johnson (25) defends during the third quarter of their game on Tuesday night. Mineral Ridge won, 61-54.
These plays proved crucial, as the Red Devils never came any closer in the Rams' 61-54 win in a Division IV sectional semifinal Tuesday night.
Mineral Ridge (15-8) took advantage of the offensive glass in the first half to take a six-point lead into the break.
Despite Lordstown (9-14) deploying a 2-3 zone, the Rams recorded 12 second-chance points in the half, making up 50 percent of their point total. Six of Hagy's eight points in the half came off putback field goals.
"That's one of the things that we try and emphasize is crashing the boards and getting second shots," Mineral Ridge coach Chris Kohl said. "That makes the defense work harder, and that's what we're trying to do - wear the defense down.
"Any time you get second chance points are real big."
The Red Devils came out of the zone and pressed in the second half, which allowed the Rams to push out to a 16-point lead late in the third quarter.
As has been the case for Lordstown, though, the Red Devils clawed back late, pulling to 55-46 at the 2:16 mark in the fourth quarter, but it turned out to be too late. Mineral Ridge managed to see out the rest of the game.
"I've been with (the guys) for two years now, and there's never been a moment where they haven't been committed to play 32 minutes," Lordstown coach Brent Villella said. "Quite a few wins down the stretch, they had to come from double-digit deficits. We knew we could do it, but we were doing it against a very good opponent."
Mineral Ridge now moves onto to the sectional final against Maplewood. Kohl said he's looking forward to the challenge.
"Maplewood - a big game for us," Kohl said. "We'll see where we're at."

What was it, really?
Soaring strings and apocalyptic horns. Silky vocals cut with warm, cognac-flavored jazz guitar. A beat slower than the sing-song clip of Motown girl groups. A beat that presaged disco. Lushness. Splendor. The Sound of Philadelphia.
Listening to pop music now, 25 years after the reign of Philadelphia International Records, none of those elements seems particularly remarkable. They're business as usual. Scores of today's bombastic bedroom balladeers build their entreaties around elaborate arrangements and use just the type of keening string lines Thom Bell and other Philly arrangers pioneered. Lots of hitmakers strive for a big, orchestral sound - even an alt-rock band such as the Smashing Pumpkins tapped that reliable recipe for a single or two.

Three local candidates are seeking to fill two open seats in the upcoming race for West Virginia House of Delegates for the 43rd District.
Elkins resident Denise L. Campbell has filed as a Democrat candidate for re-election, having served one prior term. She said she wants to be the voice for rural West Virginia.
"I want to make a difference for the citizens in Randolph and Pochontas counties and work hard to bring the issues of rural West Virginia to the forefront," Campbell said. "I want to continue to work hard to represent our needs in Charleston."
Article Photos
Campbell currently serves on the education committee, health and human resources committee and senior citizen issues committee. She was recently appointed as vice chairperson of the regional jail and correctional facility authority interim committee.
Campbell said she feels the biggest issues facing West Virginia are prescription drug abuse, economic development and correcting the high school drop out issues.
"The abuse of prescription drugs is affecting our communities in many ways," Campbell said. "The problem seems to be growing. We need attention to this issue to help our youth."
Campbell said she is working to grow a strong work force in our communities, and is looking to lower the state's high school drop-out rates.
With more than 20 years experience in health care, Campbell is working to improve access to health care to everyone, especially children and the elderly.
She worked to help pass the Autism Insurance Bill, the mine safety bill and the elimination of the food tax in West Virginia.
"I feel compassionate about working to make a positive difference in the community," Campbell said. "I want to address issues of the citizens and feel it's my job to be a voice of the people."
Incumbent Democrat William "Bill" G. Hartman is also an Elkins resident. He has served five terms and is seeking one of the two District 42 seats.
"Hopefully I can make a positive contribution to residents in West Virginia, especially those in Randolph and Pocahontas counties," Hartman said. "Everyone seems worried about special issues."
Hartman said the top three issues he feels facing West Virginians include achieving a balanced budget, raising funding for economic development and helping the rural areas of the state.
"To get our fiscal matters in order, we need to have a balanced budget," Hartman said. "We also need to get funding for a proposed 90-mile excursion train loop rail circuit."
The proposed loop would make use of existing track and would stretch from Pocahontas County through Webster County, and include Bemis, Elkins, Glady and Cass.
Hartman said he needs to help find funding for more projects to grow the economy in our area.
"You need to consider everything that comes up to vote," he said.
Hartman serves as vice chairman of the Forest Management Review Commission and is a member of the banking and insurance, governmental organization and political subdivision committees.
Republican candidate Donna Auvil, also of Elkins, is also vying for one of the two seats in the 43rd District. Auvil said she considers herself a simple person.
"I grew up a coal miner's daughter," Auvil said. "I am a simple person and no one owns me. I am not about me. I am retired and just want to help do something I feel strongly about."
Auvil said her main concerns include the war on drugs, education and the plight of military personnel.
"I am afraid for my grandchildren," Auvil said. "We need to involve children in a realistic look of what happens to those who use drugs, and let them know using drugs is not acceptable."
Auvil said she feels Randolph and Pocahontas counties have wonderful educators and service personnel, but she wants to help raise pay scales in West Virginia from fourth from the last across the nation to closer to the top.
"Besides better pay for teachers, we need to pay our service personnel more equitably," Auvil said. "Cooks are the lowest paid in school systems and they, like school bus drivers, work hard and have a tremendous amount of pressure and responsibility. I would like to see their classification raised."
Auvil said she believes if citizens lived by the Constitution, everything would take care of itself.
"If I don't have the answers to questions, I will seek and find it," Auvil said. "I would welcome the opportunity to serve the people of Randolph and Pocahontas counties. I want people to know that I stand for helping others."

7 Healthy Foods to Prevent Feverish KidsKelsey Banfield
With the change of seasons on the horizon it is time for cold season to have one last go 'round. Recently Babble put together a very helpful guide on how to treat the fevers the often accompany colds this time of year. Whenever my daughter gets a fever it makes me anxious because I want it to go away as quickly as possible. Of course, the first thing I do is take all of the practical first steps that have been recommended to me by our Pediatrician, and I pull together a few "home remedies" like a lukewarm bath and cooled lemon tea. In anticipation of upcoming spring cold season not only am I up to date on the latest fever treatments, I am also serving some key foods in our house that will help strengthen immune systems and possibly avert fevers altogether. These are all rich in essential vitamins and nutrients and are very easy to make at home.

Epitome of Renaissance genius, Leonardo da Vinci spent some of his most productive years in Milan, enjoying the patronage of the Sforza family. In fact, Leonardo is identified with Milan more than any other Italian city, and contributed to Milan's reputation for design and aesthetics.

Surely as interesting as the Mona Lisa herself, are the many people captivated by her, when they visit the Louvre museum in Paris France to see her. Visitors to the museum will recognize the images here, as a sea of faces ponder over her, with many people taking photographs. Take a look and see if you recognize any of the mesmerized visitors in this clip, who visited the museum on Friday, May 22nd, 2009. From Wikipedia: Mona Lisa (also known as La Gioconda) is a 16th century portrait painted in oil on a poplar panel by Leonardo da Vinci during the Italian Renaissance. The work is owned by the Government of France and is on the wall in the Louvre in Paris, France with the title Portrait of Lisa Gherardini, wife of Francesco del Giocondo. The painting is a half-length portrait and depicts a woman whose expression is often described as enigmatic. The ambiguity of the sitter's expression, the monumentality of the half-figure composition, and the subtle modeling of forms and atmospheric illusionism were novel qualities that have contributed to the painting's continuing fascination. Few other works of art have been subject to as much scrutiny, study, mythologizing, and parody. Leonardo was and is renowned primarily as a painter. Two of his works, the Mona Lisa and The Last Supper, are the most famous, most reproduced and most parodied portrait and religious painting of all time, respectively, Read more....... en.wikipedia.org en.wikipedia.org Mona Lisa Mona Lisa Mona Lisa ...
